¹ሲያልፍም ከመወለዱ ጀምሮ ዕውር የሆነውን ሰው አየ።

¹And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.

²ደቀ መዛሙርቱም። መምህር ሆይ፥ ይህ ሰው ዕውር ሆኖ እንዲወለድ ኃጢአት የሠራ ማን ነው? እርሱ ወይስ ወላጆቹ? ብለው ጠየቁት።

²And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?

³ኢየሱስም እንዲህ ብሎ መለሰ። የእግዚአብሔር ሥራ በእርሱ እንዲገለጥ ነው እንጂ እርሱ ወይም ወላጆቹ ኃጢአት አልሠሩም።

³Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.

⁴ቀን ሳለ የላከኝን ሥራ ላደርግ ይገባኛል፤ ማንም ሊሠራ የማይችልባት ሌሊት ትመጣለች።

⁴I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work.

⁵በዓለም ሳለሁ የዓለም ብርሃን ነኝ።

⁵As long as I am in the world, I am [the] light of the world.

⁶ይህን ብሎ ወደ መሬት እንትፍ አለ በምራቁም ጭቃ አድርጎ በጭቃው የዕውሩን ዓይኖች ቀባና።

⁶Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.

⁷ሂድና በሰሊሆም መጠመቂያ ታጠብ አለው፤ ትርጓሜው የተላከ ነው። ስለዚህ ሄዶ ታጠበ እያየም መጣ።

⁷And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.

⁸ጐረቤቶቹም ቀድሞም ሲለምን አይተውት የነበሩ። ይህ ተቀምጦ ይለምን የነበረ አይደለምን? አሉ።

⁸The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

⁹ሌሎች። እርሱ ነው አሉ፤ ሌሎች። አይደለም እርሱን ይመስላል እንጂ አሉ፤ እርሱ። እኔ ነኝ አለ።

⁹Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: *he* said, It is I.

¹⁰ታድያ። ዓይኖችህ እንዴት ተከፈቱ? አሉት።

¹⁰They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?

¹¹እርሱ መልሶ። ኢየሱስ የሚባለው ሰው ጭቃ አድርጎ አይኖቼን ቀባና። ወደ ሰሊሆም መጠመቂያ ሄደህ ታጠብ አለኝ፤ ሄጄ ታጥቤም አየሁ አለ።

¹¹He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.

¹²ያ ሰው ወዴት ነው? አሉት። አላውቅም አለ።

¹²They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.

¹³በፊት ዕውር የነበረውን ሰው ወደ ፈሪሳውያን ወሰዱት።

¹³They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.

¹⁴ኢየሱስም ጭቃ አድርጎ ዓይኖቹን የከፈተበት ቀን ሰንበት ነበረ።

¹⁴Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

¹⁵ስለዚህ ፈሪሳውያን ደግሞ እንዴት እንዳየ እንደ ገና ጠየቁት። እርሱም። ጭቃ በዓይኖቼ አኖረ ታጠብሁም አያለሁም አላቸው።

¹⁵The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

¹⁶ከፈሪሳውያንም አንዳንዶቹ። ይህ ሰው ሰንበትን አያከብርምና ከእግዚአብሔር አይደለም አሉ። ሌሎች ግን። ኃጢአትኛ ሰው እንደነዚህ ያሉ ምልክቶች ሊያደርግ እንዴት ይችላል? አሉ።

¹⁶Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷በመካከላቸውም መለያየት ሆነ። ከዚህም የተነሣ ዕውሩን። አንተ ዓይኖችህን ስለ ከፈተ ስለ እርሱ ምን ትላለህ? ደግሞ አሉት። እርሱም። ነቢይ ነው አለ።

¹⁷They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸አይሁድ የዚያን ያየውን ወላጆች እስኪጠሩ ድረስ ዕውር እንደ ነበረ እንዳየም ስለ እርሱ አላመኑም፥

¹⁸The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.

¹⁹እነርሱንም። እናንተ ዕውር ሆኖ ተወለደ የምትሉት ልጃችሁ ይህ ነውን? ታድያ አሁን እንዴት ያያል? ብለው ጠየቁአቸው።

¹⁹And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?

²⁰ወላጆቹም መልሰው። ይህ ልጃችን እንደ ሆነ ዕውርም ሆኖ እንደ ተወለደ አናውቃለን፤

²⁰His parents answered [them] and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

²¹ዳሩ ግን አሁን እንዴት እንዳየ አናውቅም፥ ወይም ዓይኖቹን ማን እንደ ከፈተ እኛ አናውቅም፤ ጠይቁት እርሱ ሙሉ ሰው ነው፤ እርሱ ስለ ራሱ ይናገራል አሉ።

²¹but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. *He* is of age: ask *him*; *he* will speak concerning himself.

²²ወላጆቹ አይሁድን ስለ ፈሩ ይህን አሉ፤ እርሱ ክርስቶስ ነው ብሎ የሚመሰክር ቢኖር ከምኵራብ እንዲያወጡት አይሁድ ከዚህ በፊት ተስማምተው ነበርና።

²²His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.

²³ስለዚህ ወላጆቹ። ሙሉ ሰው ነው፥ ጠይቁት አሉ።

²³On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask *him*.

²⁴ስለዚህ ዕውር የነበረውን ሰው ሁለተኛ ጠርተው። እግዚአብሔርን አክብር፤ ይህ ሰው ኃጢአተኛ መሆኑን እኛ እናውቃለን አሉት።

²⁴They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

²⁵እርሱም መልሶ። ኃጢአተኛ መሆኑን አላውቅም፤ ዕውር እንደ ነበርሁ አሁንም እንዳይ ይህን አንድ ነገር አውቃለሁ አለ።

²⁵He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.

²⁶ደግመውም። ምን አደረገልህ? እንዴትስ ዓይኖችህን ከፈተ? አሉት።

²⁶And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

²⁷እርሱም መልሶ። አስቀድሜ ነገርኋችሁ አልሰማችሁምም፤ ስለ ምን ዳግመኛ ልትሰሙ ትወዳላችሁ? እናንተ ደግሞ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ልትሆኑ ትወዳላችሁን? አላቸው።

²⁷He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?

²⁸ተሳድበውም። አንተ የእርሱ ደቀ መዝሙር ነህ፥ እኛ ግን የሙሴ ደቀ መዛሙርት ነን፤

²⁸They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁹እግዚአብሔር ሙሴን እንደ ተናገረው እኛ እናውቃለን፥ ይህ ሰው ግን ከወዴት እንደ ሆነ አናውቅም አሉት።

²⁹We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.

³⁰ሰውዬው መለሰ እንዲህም አላቸው። ከወዴት እንደ ሆነ እናንተ አለማወቃችሁ ይህ ድንቅ ነገር ነው፥ ዳሩ ግን ዓይኖቼን ከፈተ።

³⁰The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.

³¹እግዚአብሔርን የሚፈራ ፈቃዱንም የሚያደርግ ቢኖር ያንን እግዚአብሔር ይሰማዋል እንጂ ኃጢአተኞችን እንዳይሰማ እናውቃለን።

³¹[But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

³²ዕውር ሆኖ የተወለደውን ዓይኖች ማንም እንደ ከፈተ ዓለም ከተፈጠረ ጀምሮ አልተሰማም፤

³²Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.

³³ይህ ሰው ከእግዚአብሔር ባይሆን ምንም ሊያደርግ ባልቻለም ነበር።

³³If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.

³⁴መልሰው። አንተ ሁለንተናህ በኃጢአት ተወለድህ፥ አንተም እኛን ታስተምረናለህን? አሉት። ወደ ውጭም አወጡት።

³⁴They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.

³⁵ኢየሱስም ወደ ውጭ እንዳወጡት ሰማ ሲያገኘውም። አንተ በእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ታምናለህን? አለው።

³⁵Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?

³⁶እርሱም መልሶ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ በእርሱ አምን ዘንድ ማን ነው? አለ።

³⁶He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

³⁷ኢየሱስም። አይተኸዋልም ከአንተ ጋርም የሚናገረው እርሱ ነው አለው።

³⁷And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

³⁸እርሱም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አምናለሁ አለ፤ ሰገደለትም።

³⁸And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

³⁹ኢየሱስም። የማያዩ እንዲያዩ የሚያዩም እንዲታወሩ እኔ ወደዚህ ዓለም ለፍርድ መጣሁ አለ።

³⁹And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.

⁴⁰ከፈሪሳውያንም ከእርሱ ጋር የነበሩት ይህን ሰምተው። እኛ ደግሞ ዕውሮች ነንን? አሉት።

⁴⁰And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?

⁴¹ኢየሱስም አላቸው። ዕውሮችስ ብትሆኑ ኃጢአት ባልሆነባችሁም ነበር፤ አሁን ግን። እናያለን ትላላችሁ፤ ኃጢአታችሁ ይኖራል።

⁴¹Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
