John 9
1 Bí ó sì ti ń kọjá lọ, ó rí ọkùnrin kan tí ó fọ́jú láti ìgbà ìbí rẹ̀ wá.
And passing by, he saw a man blind from 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 asked him, saying, 'Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be 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 did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested 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.
it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: —
5 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè, èmi ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé.”
when I am in the world, I am a 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.
These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,
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.
'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, 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 those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is 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.”
others said — 'This is he;' and others — 'He is like to him;' he himself said, — 'I am [he].'
10 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Bá wo ni ojú rẹ ṣe là?”
They said, therefore, 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 clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'
12 Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Òun náà ha dà?” Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi kò mọ̀.”
they said, therefore, to him, 'Where is that one?' he saith, 'I have not known.'
13 Wọ́n mú ẹni tí ojú rẹ̀ ti fọ́ rí wá sọ́dọ̀ àwọn Farisi.
They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,
14 Ọjọ́ ìsinmi ni ọjọ́ náà nígbà tí Jesu ṣe amọ̀, tí ó sì là á lójú.
and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, 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.”
Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, 'Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash — and I 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.
Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man — a sinful one — able to do such signs?' 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 said to the blind man again, 'Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?'
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.
and he said — 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who 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 asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he 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 have known 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.”
and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'
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.
These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him — Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;
23 Nítorí èyí ni àwọn òbí rẹ̀ fi wí pé, “Ẹni tí ó dàgbà ni òun, ẹ bi í léèrè.”
because of this his parents said — '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.”
They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known 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.”
he answered, therefore, and said, 'If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'
26 Nítorí náà, wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Kí ni ó ṣe ọ́? Báwo ni ó ṣe là ọ́ lójú.”
And they said to him again, 'What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'
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 told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to 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.
They reviled him, therefore, and said, 'Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;
29 Àwa mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run bá Mose sọ̀rọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti eléyìí, àwa kò mọ ibi tí ó ti wá.”
we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known 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 answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he 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.
and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;
from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind; (aiōn g165)
33 Ìbá ṣe pé ọkùnrin yìí kò ti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá, kì bá tí lè ṣe ohunkóhun.”
if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'
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 to him, 'In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.
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 cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, 'Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'
36 Òun sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ta ni, Olúwa, kí èmi lè gbà á gbọ́?”
he answered and said, 'Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'
37 Jesu wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ti rí i, Òun náà sì ni ẹni tí ń bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀ yìí.”
And Jesus said to him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'
38 Ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa, mo gbàgbọ́,” ó sì wólẹ̀ fún un.
and he said, 'I believe, sir,' and bowed before 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 to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may 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 those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, 'Are we also blind?'
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 were not having had sin, but now ye say — We see, therefore doth your sin remain.
