Yohani 9
1 Ikighono kimonga uYesu ye ighenda, ali na vavulanisivua vaake, akamwagha umuunhu jumonga umbofu amaaso kuhuma iholua.
As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
2 Avavulanisivua vala vakamposia uYesu vakati, “Ghwe m'bulanisi, umuunhu uju alyaholilue m'bofu vwimila inyivi saani? Vwimila inyivi saake nambe vwimila inyivi sa vapaafi vaake?”
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
3 UYesu akavamula akati, “Umuunhu uju naalyaholilue m'bofu vwimila inyivi saka, nambe vwimila inyivi sa vapaafi vaake. Ulwene alyaholilue mbofu, neke ingufu sa Nguluve sivoneke kukilila umwene.
Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin nor his parents, but it happened so that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4 Tulondua kuvomba imbombo ija Nguluve juno asung'hile, pano jijiighe mwisi. Ikilo jikwisa pano umuunhu nangavombe imbombo iji.
I must do the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Pano nijighe mu iisi, nili lumuli ku vaanhu vooni.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 UYesu ye ajovile isio, akafuunya amati paasi, akakanda akatope na mati ghala, akapaka amaaso gha m'bofu jula.
After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he rubbed the mud on the blind man's eyes
7 Akambuula akati, “Lutagha ghwoghe ku maaso mu lilamba ilya Siloamu (Ilitavua ili Siloamu kwe kuti juno asunghile). Pepano akaluta kukwogha ku maaso, akagomoka ilola.
and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went and washed, and came away seeing.
8 Avabading'hani vaake na vange vooni vano valyale vikumwagha ulutasi isuuma ifiinu, vakava vikuposania viiti, “Asi, umuunhu uju naghwe juno ikalagha pamonga isuuma ifiinu?”
Then his neighbors and those who had previously seen that he was blind were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”
9 Vamonga vakati, “Ghwe mwene. “Avange vakati, “Naghwe mwene looli ahwaniine fiijo nu mwene. “Neke umwene akavavuula akati, “Neene!”
Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He is like him.” But he kept saying, “I am he.”
10 Pe vakamposia vakati, “Luveele ndaani kuhanga amaaso ghaako ghilola?”
So they said to him, “How were yoʋr eyes opened?”
11 Umwene akavamula akati, “Umuunhu juno itambulua Yesu, avele akandile akatope, amhakile amaaso, pe ambulile atiile, 'Lutagha ghwoghe mu lilamba ilya Siloamu.' Naluta, noogha, ye navonagha ilola.”
He answered, “A man named Jesus made mud, rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and received my sight.”
12 Avaanhu vala vakamposia, vakati, “Umuunhu ujuo alikughi?' Umwene akavamula akati, “Nwisi.”
They said to him, “Where is this man?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 Pe avaanhu vala vakantwala ku Vafalisayi umuunhu jula juno alyale m'bofu.
So they brought the man who was once blind to the Pharisees.
14 Ikighono kino uYesu alyakandile akarope na kukunsosia um'bofu jula, kilyale kighono kya Sabati.
(Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened the man's eyes.)
15 Pe aVafalisayi vakamposia umuunhu jula vakati, “Asi, usokile ndaani uvubofu vwako?” Akavamula akati, “Umuunhu jumonga amhaka akatope amaaso, neke noogha, lino nilola.”
The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight, and he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.”
16 Pepano aVafalisayi vamonga vakati, “Umuunhu juno avombile uluo, naahumile kwa Nguluve, ulwakuva ivomba mukighono ikya Sabati luno nalukwitikisivua mu ndaghilo. “Neke avange vakati, “Umuunhu umhosi ndepoonu ivomba ifidegho fino fihufia ifivalilo ndavule ifi?” Mu uluo vakalekeng'hana.
Then some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And a division arose among them.
17 Pe aVafalisayi vakamposi kange umuunhu jula vakati, “Asi, uve ghwiti ndaani vwimila umuunhu juno akusosisie amaaso?” Umwene akavamula akati, “Une niiti umuunhu jula m'bili ghwa Nguluve.”
So they said to the blind man again, “What do yoʋ say about him, since he opened yoʋr eyes?” The man said, “He is a prophet.”
18 Avalongosi va Vayahudi vala navalyitiike kuuti umuunhu jula alyaholilue m'bofu neke lino asokile ilola, kuhanga vakavakemela avapaafi vaake.
Now the Jews did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they called in his parents.
19 Vakavaposia avapaafi avakati, “Asi, umuunhu uju juno mwiti aholilue m'bofu, mwana ghwinu? Asokile ndaani uvubofu vwake?”
They asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 Avapaafi vaake vakavamula vakati, “Usue tukagwile kuuti, uju ghwe mwana ghwitu, alyaholilue m'bofu.
His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21 Neke natukagwile atengwile ndaani kulola. Kange naju muunhu juno ansosisie amaaso, natummanyile. Mumposie, muunhu n'goyo, ikuvavuula jujuo.”
But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.”
22 Avapaafi vaake valyajovile uluo, ulwakuva valyale vikwoghopa avalongosi va Vayahudi. Avalongosi avuo valyiting'hiine kuuti umuunhu juno ikwitika kuuti uYesu ghwe Kilisite, vikun'daga mumasinagogi ghaave.
(His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess that Jesus was the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Fye nambe avapaafi vala valyatiile, “Umwene muunhu n'goyo, mumposie jujuo.”
That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”)
24 Avalongosi va Vayahudi vakankemeela ulwa vuvili umuunhu jula juno alyale m'bofu, vakam'buula vakati, “Jova isa kyang'haani pamaaso gha Nguluve! Usue tukagwile kuuti umuunhu ujuo juno akusosisie, mhosi.”
So for a second time they called in the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 Umwene akavamula akati, “kuuti umuunhu ujuo mhosi, une nanikagwile, looli nikagwile kuuti nilyale m'bofu, lino nilola.
He answered, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
26 Vakamposia kange vakati, “Asi, umuunhu ujuo avombile kiki kukukusosia amaaso ghaako?”
Again they said to him, “What did he do to yoʋ? How did he open yoʋr eyes?”
27 Umwene akavamula akati, “Une nivavulile, umue namulonda kukumhulika, kiki mulonda nivavuule kange? NeKe najumue mulonda kuuva vavulanisivua vaake?”
He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”
28 Pe vakam'bepanula vakanjova vakati, “Uve veeve m'bulanisivua ghwake! Usue tulivavulanisivua va Moose.
Then they reviled him and said, “Yoʋ are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Tukagwile kuuti uNguluve alyajovile nu Moose, neke umuunhu ujuo, natunkagwile na kuno ahumile.
We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he is from.”
30 Umwene akavamula akati, “Isi sa kudegha! Namunkagwile kuno ahumile umuunu juno asosisie amaaso ghaango!
The man answered them, “Why, this is an amazing thing, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes!
31 Tukagwile kuuti uNguluve naipulika inyifunyo isa vahosi looli ikumpulika umuunhu juno ikumwoghopa nakuvomba isa vughane vwake.
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who is devout and does his will.
32 Kuhuma uNguluve ipela iisi, natughelile kupulika nambe lusiku kuuti umuunhu jumonga ansosisie umuunhu juno aholilue m'bofu. (aiōn g165)
Never before has anyone heard of someone opening the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Umuunhu ujuo aale aave naahumile kwa Nguluve, naale ivomba isi.”
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 Avene vakamwamula vakati, “Uve ulyaholilue mu vuhosi, ghulonda pikutuvulanisia usue? Pe vakan'daga mu sinagogi.
They answered him, “Yoʋ were born entirely in sin, and yet yoʋ are trying to teach us?” And they threw him out.
35 UYesu akapulika kuuti umuunhu jula van'dagile mu sinagogi. Pe akalondagha kutang'hana naghwo. Ye amwaghile, akamposia akati, “Uve, ghukumwitika uMwana ghwa Muunhu?
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, “Do yoʋ believe in the Son of God?”
36 Umuunhu jula akamwamula akati, “Gwe Mutwa, ghwe veeni uMwana ghwa Muunhu, nimwitike?”
He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
37 UYesu akamwamula akati, “Umwaghile, umuunhu ujuo ghwe juno ijova nuuve lino.”
Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have seen him, and the one speaking with yoʋ is he.”
38 Umuunhu jula akati, “Nikwitika! “Pe akamwimika uYesu.
The man said, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped him.
39 UYesu akati, “Une nisile mu isi kuhiga avaanhu, kuuti avabofu amaaso valolaghe, vano vikuvona vilola, vave vabofu amaaso.”
Then Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”
40 Avafalisayi vamonga vano pwevalyale pala, ye vapuliike imhola isio, vakamposia vakati, Asi, kwe kuti usue tulivabofu?
Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, “We are not also blind, are we?”
41 UYesu akavamula akati, “Mwale muuve vabofu, namwale muuva vahosi. Neke ulwakuva mwiti mulola, mujigha nu vuhosi vwinu.”
Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
