Sione 9
1 Pea ʻi he ʻalu ange ʻa [Sisu], ne mamata ia ki ha tangata naʻe fanauʻi ko e kui.
And, passing along, he saw a man, blind from birth.
2 Pea fehuʻi ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Lāpai, ko hai naʻe fai angahala, ʻae tangata ni, pe ko ʻene mātuʻa, naʻe fanauʻi kui ai ia?”
And his disciples questioned him, saying—Rabbi! who sinned, this man or his parents, that, blind, he should be born?
3 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “Naʻe ʻikai fai angahala ʻae tangata ni, pe ko ʻene mātuʻa: ka ko e meʻa ke fakahā ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua.
Jesus answered—Neither, this man, sinned nor his parents; but…that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 ʻOku totonu ke u fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau au, lolotonga ʻene kei ʻaho: ʻoku haʻu ʻae pō, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ngāue ai ha tokotaha.”
We must needs be working the works of him that sent me, while it is, day: There cometh a night, when, no one, can work.
5 ʻI heʻeku kei ʻi māmani ko e maama au ʻo māmani.
Whensoever I may be, in the world, I am, the light, of the world.
6 Hili ʻene lea pehē, naʻe ʻaʻanu ia ki he kelekele, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻaʻanu ʻae ʻumea, ʻo ne pani ʻaki ʻae ʻumea ʻae mata ʻoe tangata kui,
These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes;
7 ʻO ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo kaukau ʻi he ano vai ko Seiloami,” (ʻa ia ko hono ʻuhinga, “Ko e fekau.”) Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ia, ʻo kaukau, pea haʻu kuo ʻā.
and said unto him—Withdraw! wash in the pool of Siloam, —which is to be translated, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came, seeing.
8 Ko ia ko e kaungāʻapi, pea mo kinautolu naʻe mamata muʻa kiate ia ʻi heʻene kui, naʻa nau pehē, “ʻIkai ko eni ia naʻe nofo ʻo kole?”
The neighbours, therefore, and they who used to observe him aforetime—that he was, a beggar, were saying—Is not, this, he that used to sit and beg?
9 Pea tala ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko eni ia:” pea [lea ]ʻae niʻihi, “ʻOku hangē ko ia:” ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au ia.”
Others, were saying—’Tis, the same. Others, were saying—Nay! but he is, like him. He, was saying—I, am he.
10 “Ko ia naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, naʻe fakaʻā fēfeeʻi ho mata?”
So they were saying unto him—How [then] were thine eyes opened?
11 Pea talaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e tangata ʻoku ui ko Sisu naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ʻumea, ʻo ne pani hoku mata, pea ne pehē kiate au, ‘ʻAlu ki he ano vai ko Seiloami, ʻo kaukau:’ pea naʻaku ʻalu, ʻo kaukau, pea u ʻā ai.”
He, answered—The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I received sight.
12 Pea nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Kofaʻā ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa.”
And they said unto him—Where is, He? He saith—I know not.
13 Naʻa nau ʻomi ki he kau Fālesi ʻaia naʻe kui.
They bring him unto the Pharisees—him at one time blind.
14 Pea ko e ʻaho Sāpate ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ai ʻe Sisu ʻae ʻumea, ʻo ne fakaʻā hono mata.
Now it was Sabbath, on the day when Jesus made, the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Pea fehuʻi foki ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, pe naʻe fēfē hono fakaʻā. Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘Naʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻae ʻumea ki hoku mata, pea u kaukau, pea ʻoku ou ʻā.”
Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them—Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed, —and do see.
16 Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he niʻihi ʻoe kau Fālesi, “ʻOku ʻikai mei he ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he ʻaho Sāpate.” Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻE faʻa fai fēfeeʻi ʻae ngaahi mana pehē ʻe ha angahala? Pea naʻa nau fakakikihi ai.”
Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying—This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not. Others, [however] were saying—How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? And there was, a division, among them.
17 Pea naʻa nau toe fehuʻi ki he tangata kui, “Ko e hā hoʻo lau kiate ia, ʻi heʻene fakaʻā ho mata?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e palōfita ia.”
So they were saying unto the blind man, again, What dost, thou, say concerning him, in that he opened thine eyes? And, he, said—A prophet, is he.
18 Ka naʻe ʻikai tui ʻae kakai Siu naʻe kui ia, pea kuo ʻā, kaeʻoua ke nau ui ʻae mātuʻa ʻo ia kuo fakaʻā.
The Jews, therefore, did not believe, concerning him, that he was blind, and received sight, —until they called the parents of him that had received sight,
19 Pea nau fehuʻi kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻomo tama eni, ʻoku mo lau naʻe fanauʻi kui? Pea ʻoku ʻa fēfē eni?”
and questioned them, saying—Is, this, your son, of whom, ye, say, that blind, he was, born? How, then, seeth he, even now?
20 Pea leaange ʻene mātuʻa kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ma ʻilo ko ʻema tama eni, pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻoku kui:
His parents, therefore, answered, and said—We know that, this, is our son, and that, blind, he was born;
21 Ka ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻā ai ni ia, ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo pe ko hai kuo fakaʻā hono mata; ka ʻoku lahi ia: fehuʻi ki ai: ke lea ia kiate ia.”
But, how he now seeth, we know not, or, who opened his eyes, we, know not, —Question, him, he is, of age, he, concerning himself, shall speak.
22 Naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻa ʻene mātuʻa, he naʻa na manavahē ki he kakai Siu: he kuo alea pau ʻae kakai Siu, kapau ʻe ai ha tokotaha te ne fakahā ko e Kalaisi ia, ʻe kapusi ia mei he falelotu.
These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews, —for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made.
23 Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe heʻene mātuʻa, “ʻOku lahi ia; fehuʻi ki ai.”
For this cause, his parents said—He is, of age, —question him.
24 Pea naʻa nau toe ui ʻae tangata naʻe kui, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Tuku ki he ʻOtua ʻae fakamālō: ʻoku mau ʻilo ko e angahala ʻae tangata ni.”
So they called the man a second time—[him] who had been blind, and said unto him—Give glory unto God! We know that, this man, is, a sinner.
25 Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ha angahala ia pe ʻikai, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo: ko e meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ou ʻilo, naʻaku kui, ka ko eni ʻoku ou ʻā.”
He, therefore, answered—Whether he is a sinner, I know not: One thing, I know, —That, whereas I was, blind, now, I see!
26 Pea toe fehuʻi ai ʻakinautolu kiate ia, “Ko e hā naʻa ne fai kiate koe? Naʻe fēfeeʻi ʻene fakaʻā ho mata?”
They said, therefore, unto him—What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes?
27 Pea leaange ia kiate kinautolu, “Kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou ongoʻi: ko e hā ʻoku mou toe fie fanongo ai? Te mou ului ko ʻene kau ākonga foki?”
He answered them—I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples?
28 Pea nau taukaea ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ʻene ākonga ʻa koe; ka ko e kau ākonga ʻa Mōsese ʻakimautolu.
And they reviled him, and said—Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses’, disciples: —
29 ʻOku mau ʻilo naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Mōsese: ka ko e tangata ni, ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo pe ʻoku mei fē ia.”
We, know, that, unto Moses, hath God spoken; but, as for this man, we know not whence he is.
30 Pea leaange ʻae tangata, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ta ko e meʻa fakamanavahē eni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe ʻoku haʻu ia mei fē, ka kuo ne fakaʻā hoku mata.
The man answered, and said unto them—Why! Herein, is, the marvel: That, ye, know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.
31 ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kau angahala: ka ʻoka lotu ha tangata ki he ʻOtua, pea fai hono finangalo, ʻoku ne ongoʻi ia.
We know that, God, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth.
32 Talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani ʻoku teʻeki fanongo naʻe ai ha tangata kuo fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻo ha tokotaha kuo fanauʻi kui. (aiōn g165)
Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born. (aiōn g165)
33 Ka ne ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni, ʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe ia ha meʻa.”
If this man were not from God, he could have done nothing.
34 Pea leaange ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Naʻa ke tupu tofu pe ʻi he ngaahi angahala, pea ʻoku ke akoʻi ʻakimautolu?” Pea naʻa nau kapusi ia kituʻa.
They answered and said unto him—In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out.
35 Pea ongoʻi ʻe Sisu kuo nau kapusi ia kituʻa: pea ne toki ʻilo ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke tui ki he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua?”
Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and, finding him, said—Dost, thou, believe on the son of Man?
36 Pea leaange ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ko hai ia, koeʻuhi ke u tui kiate ia?”
He answered [and said]—And, who, is he, Sir, that I may believe on him?
37 Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kuo ke mamata kiate ia, pea ko ia ia ʻoku talanoa kiate koe.”
Jesus said unto him—Thou hast both seen him and, he that is speaking with thee, is, he.
38 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ou tui. Pea naʻa ne hū kiate ia.
And, he, said—I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.
39 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamaau kuo u haʻu ki māmani, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai mamata ke nau mamata; pea ke kui ʻakinautolu ʻoku mamata.”
And Jesus said—For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind.
40 Pea fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ni ʻae niʻihi ʻoe Fālesi naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻonau pehē ki ai, “ʻOku kui ʻakimautolu foki?”
They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him—Are, we also, blind?
41 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne kui ʻakimoutolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai haʻamou angahala ka ko eni ʻoku mou pehē, ʻOku mau ʻā ko ia ʻoku maʻu pe hoʻomou angahala.”
Jesus said unto them—If, blind, ye had been, ye had not had sin; but, now, ye say, We see, your sin, abideth.
