Yohane 9
1 Yesu nam no, ohuu aberante bi a wɔwoo no onifuraefo,
And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his birth.
2 Nʼasuafo no bisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, hena na ɔyɛɛ bɔne, saa onifuraefo yi awofo anaa ɔno ankasa, nti na ɛma wɔwoo no onifuraefo yi?”
And his disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned? this man or his parents? that he was born blind.
3 Yesu buae se, “Ɛnyɛ nʼawofo anaa nʼankasa bɔne nti na nʼani afura. Na mmom nʼani afura sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn tumi bɛyɛ ne ho adwuma.
Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God might be manifested in him.
4 Esiane sɛ adesae nkyɛ ba no nti ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ nea ɔsomaa me no adwuma a ɔde ahyɛ yɛn nsa no. Sɛ ade sa a obiara ntumi nyɛ adwuma.
I must perform the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Bere a mewɔ wiase yi de, mene wiase hann no.”
But as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Ɔkaa saa no ɔtee ntasu guu fam de fɔtɔw dɔte na ɔde dɔte no sraa onifuraefo no ani so.
And when He had said these things, He spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ ɔtare Siloa no mu, na kɔhohoro wʼanim.” Onifuraefo yi kɔ kɔhohoroo nʼanim san bae a, afei de ohu ade.
and said to him, Go wash at the pool of Siloam (which signifies Sent.) He went therefore and washed, and came again seeing.
8 Onifuraefo no afipamfo a wohuu no sɛ ɔte kwan ho srɛsrɛ ade no huu no no, wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Ɛnyɛ aberante a na ɔsrɛsrɛ ade no ni?”
And the neighbors, and they that had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat begging?
9 Ebinom kae se, “Ɛyɛ ɔno,” na afoforo nso kae se, “Dabi, ɛnyɛ ɔno na mmom sɛ na ɔsɛ no.” Aberante yi kae se, “Ɛyɛ me.”
Some said, this is he: and others, It is like him: but he said, I am the man.
10 Nnipa no bisaa no se, “Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na afei wuhu ade yi?”
Therefore they said to him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 Obuaa wɔn se, “Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yesu no fɔtɔw dɔte na ɔde sraa mʼani so na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Kɔ ɔtare Siloa mu na kɔhohoro wʼanim’. Mekɔ kɔhohoroo mʼanim wiee ara pɛ na mihuu ade.”
He answered and said, A man who is called Jesus, made clay and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed and received my sight.
12 Wɔsan bisaa no bio se, “Saa Yesu no wɔ he?” Obuaa wɔn se, “Minnim.”
Then said they unto him, Where is He? he answered, I know not.
13 Wɔde aberante a na nʼani afura no brɛɛ Farisifo no.
So they brought him, that had formerly been blind, to the pharisees.
14 Da a Yesu saa onifuraefo no yare no yɛ homeda.
Now it was the sabbath-day, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Farisifo no nso bisaa aberante no sɛnea ɛyɛe a afei de ohuu ade. Aberante no kaa sɛnea Yesu de dɔte a wafɔtɔw sraa nʼani so na ɔkɔhohoro ma ohuu ade no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
Therefore the pharisees also asked him again, how he recovered his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Farisifo no mu bi kae se, “Onipa a ɔyɛɛ saa ade yi mfi Onyankopɔn hɔ, efisɛ onni homeda mmara no so.” Afoforo nso kae se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na ɔdebɔneyɛni a ɔte sɛɛ yi betumi ayɛ saa anwonwadwuma yi?” Saa akyinnye yi maa mpaapaemu baa wɔn mu.
Then said some of the pharisees, This man is not of God, because He doth not keep the sabbath: but others said, How can a wicked man do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 Afei Farisifo yi san bisaa aberante no se, “Wo na wuse ɔma wuhuu ade, dɛn asɛm na woka fa ne ho?” Aberante yi buae se, “Migye di sɛ ɔyɛ odiyifo a ofi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.”
So they asked the blind man again, What sayst thou concerning Him? as He hath opened thine eyes.
18 Yudafo no annye anni ara da sɛ, na saa aberante no yɛ onifuraefo a afei de ohu ade, kosi sɛ wɔsoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ nʼawofo bae,
And he said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and recovered sight, till they called the parents of him, that had received his sight.
19 ma wobisaa wɔn se, “Mo ba ni ana? Mokyerɛ sɛ mowoo no no, na ɔyɛ onifuraefo ana? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na afei de ohu ade yi?”
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 Nʼawofo no buae se, “Yegye to mu sɛ ɔyɛ yɛn ba, na yɛwoo no no nso, na ɔyɛ onifuraefo.
His parents answered them, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Nanso yennim nea enti a afei de ohu ade yi. Saa ara nso na yennim onipa ko a ɔma ohuu ade no. Ɔno ara ni, nʼani nso afi a obetumi akasa ama ne ho nti mummisa no.”
but how it is that he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age, ask him; he can speak for himself.
22 Nea ɛmaa nʼawofo no kaa saa ne sɛ, na wosuro Yudafo mpanyimfo no a wɔaka se, obiara a ɔbɛka se Yesu ne Agyenkwa no no, wɔbɛpam no afi asɔredan no mu hɔ no.
These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if any one confessed Him to be Christ, he should be turned out of the synagogue.
23 Eyi nti na nʼawofo no kae se, “Nʼani afi a obetumi akasa ama ne ho enti mummisa no” no.
Therefore his parents said, he is of age, ask him.
24 Wɔsan frɛɛ aberante a na ɔyɛ onifuraefo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hyɛ bɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu se, asɛm a yɛrebebisa wo yi wubedi nokware. Yenim sɛ saa ɔbarima yi yɛ ɔdebɔneyɛni.”
Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great sinner.
25 Aberante no buaa wɔn se, “Me de, sɛ ɔyɛ ɔdebɔneyɛni o, sɛ nso ɔyɛ onipa pa o, ɛno de, minnim. Nea minim ara ne sɛ kan no na meyɛ onifuraefo na afei de mihu ade.”
He answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.
26 Wobisaa no bio se, “Dɛn na ɔyɛɛ wo ma wuhuu ade?”
Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine eyes?
27 Aberante no de abufuw buaa wɔn se, “Maka nokware no akyerɛ mo, nanso moantie. Dɛn bio na mopɛ sɛ meka kyerɛ mo? Anaasɛ mo nso mopɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ nʼasuafo?”
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye would not hear? why would ye now hear it again? have ye also a mind to be his disciples?
28 Mpanyimfo no yeyaw no san kae se, “Wo mmom na woyɛ saa akoa no suani; na yɛn de, yɛyɛ Mose asuafo.
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses:
29 Yenim pefee sɛ Onyankopɔn kasa kyerɛɛ Mose nanso saa Yesu yi de, yennim faako a ofi mpo!”
but as for this man, we know not whence He is.
30 Aberante yi ka kyerɛɛ mpanyimfo no se, “Ɛyɛ me nwonwa yiye sɛ obi a otumi ma onifuraefo hu ade no mutumi ka se munnim faako a ofi.
The man answered, and said unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes.
31 Yenim sɛ Onyankopɔn ntie nnebɔneyɛfo asɛm; na mmom otie nnipa a wodi no ni na wɔyɛ nʼapɛde no.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth.
From the beginning of the world it was never heard, that any one opened the eyes of a person that was born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 sɛ ɔbarima yi mfi Onyankopɔn hɔ a anka ɔrentumi nyɛ anwonwade a ɛte sɛɛ.”
And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing.
34 Mpanyimfo no nso de abufuw buaa no se, “Ɔdebɔneyɛni te sɛ wo na wopɛ sɛ wokyerɛkyerɛ yɛn?” Wosunsum no fii asɔredan no mu hɔ.
They answered, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?
35 Yesu tee sɛ wɔasunsum aberante no afi asɔredan no mu hɔ no, ɔhwehwɛɛ no bisaa no se, “Wugye Onipa Ba no di ana?”
And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 Aberante no buaa no se, “Me wura, kyerɛ me saa Onipa Ba no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a megye no adi!”
He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him?
37 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Woahu no dedaw; ɔno na ɔne wo rekasa yi.”
Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.
38 Aberante no de anigye kae se, “Awurade, migye di.” Afei ɔkotow Yesu.
And he said, Lord, I believe; and worshipped Him.
39 Yesu kae se, “Mebaa wiase ha sɛ merebebu atɛn, na mama wɔn a wɔyɛ anifuraefo no ahu ade, na makyerɛ wɔn a wogye di sɛ wohu ade no sɛ, wɔyɛ anifuraefo.”
And Jesus said, I am come into this world to execute judgement; that they who see not, may see; and that they who say they see, may be made blind.
40 Farisifo a na wogyinagyina hɔ no bisaa no se, “Wopɛ sɛ wokyerɛ sɛ yɛyɛ anifuraefo ana?”
And some of the pharisees who were present, heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?
41 Yesu buaa wɔn se. “Sɛ mugye to mu sɛ moyɛ anifuraefo a, ɛno de anka munnni nea maka no ho fɔ. Esiane sɛ mugye to mu sɛ muhu ade nti motena afɔbu mu.”
Jesus replied, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin: but now ye say, We see; your sin therefore remaineth.
