John 9
1 Bí ó sì ti ń kọjá lọ, ó rí ọkùnrin kan tí ó fọ́jú láti ìgbà ìbí rẹ̀ wá.
AND as he passed along, he saw a man blind from his birth.
2 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sì bi í léèrè, pé, “Rabbi, ta ní ó dẹ́ṣẹ̀, ọkùnrin yìí tàbí àwọn òbí rẹ̀, tí a fi bí i ní afọ́jú?”
And his disciples inquired of him, saying, Rabbi, who was in fault, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesu dáhùn pé, “Kì í ṣe nítorí pé ọkùnrin yìí dẹ́ṣẹ̀, tàbí àwọn òbí rẹ̀: ṣùgbọ́n kí a ba à lè fi iṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run hàn lára rẹ̀.
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man been in fault, nor his parents; but it is in order to make manifest the works of God in him.
4 Èmi ní láti ṣe iṣẹ́ ẹni tí ó rán mi, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ó bá ti jẹ́ ọ̀sán, òru ń bọ̀ wá nígbà tí ẹnìkan kì yóò lè ṣe iṣẹ́.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè, èmi ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé.”
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Nígbà tí ó ti wí bẹ́ẹ̀ tan, ó tutọ́ sílẹ̀, ó sì fi itọ́ náà ṣe amọ̀, ó sì fi amọ̀ náà ra ojú afọ́jú náà.
So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man;
7 Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Lọ wẹ̀ nínú adágún Siloamu!” (Ìtumọ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí ni “rán”). Nítorí náà ó gba ọ̀nà rẹ̀ lọ, ó wẹ̀, ó sì dé, ó ń ríran.
and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing.
8 Ǹjẹ́ àwọn aládùúgbò àti àwọn tí ó rí i nígbà àtijọ́ pé alágbe ni ó jẹ́, wí pé, “Ẹni tí ó ti ń jókòó ṣagbe kọ́ yìí?”
The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging?
9 Àwọn kan wí pé òun ni. Àwọn ẹlòmíràn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ó jọ ọ́ ni.” Ṣùgbọ́n òun wí pé, “Èmi ni.”
Some said, That this is he: but others, That he is like him: he himself said, I am he.
10 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Bá wo ni ojú rẹ ṣe là?”
When said they to him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 Ó dáhùn ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ọkùnrin kan tí a ń pè ní Jesu ni ó ṣe amọ̀, ó sì fi kun ojú mí, ó sì wí fún mi pé, Lọ sí adágún Siloamu, kí o sì wẹ̀, èmi sì lọ, mo wẹ̀, mo sì ríran.”
he answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: then I went, and washing received sight.
12 Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Òun náà ha dà?” Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi kò mọ̀.”
They said to him, Where is he? He replied, I know not.
13 Wọ́n mú ẹni tí ojú rẹ̀ ti fọ́ rí wá sọ́dọ̀ àwọn Farisi.
They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.
14 Ọjọ́ ìsinmi ni ọjọ́ náà nígbà tí Jesu ṣe amọ̀, tí ó sì là á lójú.
(Now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes.)
15 Nítorí náà àwọn Farisi pẹ̀lú tún bi í léèrè, bí ó ti ṣe ríran. Ọkùnrin náà fèsì, “Ó fi amọ̀ lé ojú mi, mo sì wẹ̀, báyìí mo sì ríran.”
The Pharisees therefore questioned him again, How he had received sight? And he told them, He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Nítorí náà àwọn kan nínú àwọn Farisi wí pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí kò ti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá, nítorí tí kò pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́.” Àwọn ẹlòmíràn wí pé, “Ọkùnrin tí í ṣe ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ yóò ha ti ṣe lè ṣe irú iṣẹ́ àmì wọ̀nyí?” Ìyapa sì wà láàrín wọn.
Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he observeth not the sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a wicked man to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 Nítorí náà, wọ́n sì tún wí fún afọ́jú náà pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ní wí nípa rẹ̀, nítorí tí ó là ọ́ lójú?” Ó sì wí pé, “Wòlíì ní í ṣe.”
They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him? that he opened thine eyes? Then he replied, That he is a prophet.
18 Nítorí náà àwọn Júù kò gbàgbọ́ nípa rẹ̀ pé ojú rẹ̀ ti fọ́ rí, àti pé ó sì tún ríran, títí wọ́n fi pe àwọn òbí ẹni tí a ti là lójú.
Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received sight.
19 Wọ́n sì bi wọ́n léèrè wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ èyí ni ọmọ yín, ẹni tí ẹ̀yin wí pé, a bí ní afọ́jú? Báwo ni ó ṣe ríran nísinsin yìí?”
And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 Àwọn òbí rẹ̀ dá wọn lóhùn wí pé, “Àwa mọ̀ pé ọmọ wa ni èyí, àti pé a bí i ní afọ́jú,
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 ṣùgbọ́n bí ó tí ṣe ń ríran nísinsin yìí àwa kò mọ̀, ẹni tí ó là á lójú, àwa kò mọ̀, ẹni tí ó ti dàgbà ni òun; ẹ bi í léèrè, yóò wí fúnra rẹ̀.”
but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.
22 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni àwọn òbí rẹ̀ sọ, nítorí tí wọ́n bẹ̀rù àwọn Júù: nítorí àwọn Júù ti fohùn ṣọ̀kan pé bí ẹnìkan bá jẹ́wọ́ pé Kristi ni, wọn ó yọ ọ́ kúrò nínú Sinagọgu.
So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.
23 Nítorí èyí ni àwọn òbí rẹ̀ fi wí pé, “Ẹni tí ó dàgbà ni òun, ẹ bi í léèrè.”
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 Nítorí náà, wọ́n pe ọkùnrin afọ́jú náà lẹ́ẹ̀kejì, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Fi ògo fún Ọlọ́run, àwa mọ̀ pé ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ni ọkùnrin yìí jẹ́.”
The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 Nítorí náà, ó dáhùn ó sì wí pé, “Bí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ni, èmi kò mọ̀, Ohun kan ni mo mọ̀, pé mo tí fọ́jú rí, nísinsin yìí mo ríran.”
Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Nítorí náà, wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Kí ni ó ṣe ọ́? Báwo ni ó ṣe là ọ́ lójú.”
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves?
27 Ó dá wọn lóhùn wí pé, “Èmi ti sọ fún yín tẹ́lẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kò sì gbọ́, nítorí kín ni ẹ̀yin ṣe ń fẹ́ tún gbọ́? Ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ń fẹ́ ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ bí?”
He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples?
28 Wọ́n sì fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ìwọ ni ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Mose ni àwa.
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 Àwa mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti eléyìí, àwa kò mọ ibi tí ó ti wá.”
We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is.
30 Ọkùnrin náà dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ohun ìyanu sá à ni èyí, pé ẹ̀yin kò mọ ibi tí ó tí wá, ṣùgbọ́n òun sá à ti là mí lójú.
The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes.
31 Àwa mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run kì í gbọ́ ti ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan bá ṣe olùfọkànsìn sí Ọlọ́run, tí ó bá sì ń ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, Òun ni ó ń gbọ́ tirẹ̀.
Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Ìbá ṣe pé ọkùnrin yìí kò ti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá, kì bá tí lè ṣe ohunkóhun.”
If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing.
34 Sí èyí, wọ́n fèsì pé, “Láti ìbí ni o tì jíngírí nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ìwọ ha fẹ́ kọ́ wa bí?” Wọ́n sì tì í sóde.
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesu gbọ́ pé, wọ́n ti tì í sóde; nígbà tí ó sì rí i, ó wí pe, “Ìwọ gba Ọmọ Ọlọ́run, gbọ́ bí?”
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?
36 Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ta ni, Olúwa, kí èmi lè gbà á gbọ́?”
The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him?
37 Jesu wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ti rí i, Òun náà sì ni ẹni tí ń bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀ yìí.”
Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person.
38 Ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa, mo gbàgbọ́,” ó sì wólẹ̀ fún un.
Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.
39 Jesu sì wí pé, “Nítorí ìdájọ́ ni mo ṣe wá sí ayé yìí, kí àwọn tí kò ríran lè ríran; àti kí àwọn tí ó ríran lè di afọ́jú.”
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind.
40 Nínú àwọn Farisi tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Àwa pẹ̀lú fọ́jú bí?”
And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé ẹ̀yin fọ́jú, ẹ̀yin kì bá tí lẹ́sẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ẹ̀yin wí pé, ‘Àwa ríran,’ nítorí náà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín wà síbẹ̀.
Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye should not have had sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin is permanent.
