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

¹Ary raha nandalo Jesosy, dia nahita lehilahy jamba hatry ny fony vao teraka.

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

²Ary ny mpianany nanontany Azy hoe: Raby ô, iza moa no nanota, io lehilahy io va, sa ny ray aman-dreniny, no dia teraka jamba izy?

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

³Jesosy namaly hoe: Tsy io lehilahy io no nanota, na ny ray aman-dreniny, fa ny hanehoana ny asan'Andriamanitra eo aminy.

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

⁴Isika tsy maintsy manao ny asan'izay naniraka Ahy, raha mbola antoandro; avy ny alina, ka tsy mahazo miasa ny olona.

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

⁵Raha amin'izao tontolo izao Aho, dia fahazavan'izao tontolo izao.

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

⁶Rehefa nilaza izany Izy, dia nandrora tamin'ny tany ka nanao feta tamin'ny rora, dia nahosony ny mason'ilay jamba.

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

⁷Ary hoy Izy taminy: Andeha, sasao ny masonao any amin'ny farihy Siloama (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Nirahina). Dia lasa izy ka nanasa, dia niverina nahiratra.

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?

⁸Koa izay nifanolotra taminy sy izay nahita azy fa mpangataka izy taloha dia nanao hoe: Tsy ity va ilay nipetraka nangataka?

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

⁹Hoy ny sasany: Izy ity, fa hoy ny sasany: Tsia, fa tahaka azy ihany; ary hoy kosa izy: Izaho no izy.

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

¹⁰Dia hoy ny olona taminy: Ahoana no nahiratan'ny masonao?

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.

¹¹Ary izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Ilay Lehilahy atao hoe Jesosy no nanao feta, dia nanosotra ny masoko ka nanao tamiko hoe: Mankanesa any Siloama, ka sasao ny masonao; koa nandeha aho, dia nanasa azy, ka dia nahiratra.

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

¹²Ary hoy ny olona taminy: Aiza moa izany Lehilahy izany? Hoy ralehilahy: Tsy fantatro.

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

¹³Ary ilay jamba taloha dia nentiny tany amin'ny Fariseo.

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

¹⁴Ary tamin'ny andro Sabata no nanaovan'i Jesosy ny feta sy nampahiratany ny mason-dralehilahy.

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.

¹⁵Ary ny Fariseo koa nanontany azy izay nahiratan'ny masony. Dia hoy izy taminy: Nasiany feta ny masoko, dia nosasako, ka nahiratra aho.

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.

¹⁶Ary hoy ny Fariseo sasany: Tsy avy amin'Andriamanitra izany Lehilahy izany, satria tsy mitandrina ny Sabata Izy. Hoy ny sasany: Hataon'ny lehilahy mpanota ahoana no fahay manao fahagagana toy izany? Dia nisara-tsaina izy.

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.

¹⁷Ary hoy indray izy tamin'ilay jamba: Ahoana no ilazanao Azy, fa nampahiratra ny masonao Izy? Dia hoy izy: Mpaminany Izy.

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.

¹⁸Ary amin'izany ny Jiosy tsy nino azy ho efa jamba ka nahiratra, ambara-piantsony ny ray aman-drenin'ilay nahiratra

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

¹⁹ka nanontaniany hoe: Zanakareo moa ity, izay lazainareo fa teraka jamba? Koa nanao ahoana ary no nahiratany izao?

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

²⁰Ny ray aman-dreniny namaly ka nanao hoe: Fantatray fa zanakay ity sady teraka jamba;

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.

²¹fa tsy fantatray izay nahiratany izao; ary tsy fantatray izay nampahiratra ny masony; izy ihany no anontanio; efa lehibe izy, aoka izy no hilaza ny amin'ny tenany.

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.

²²Izany teny izany no nolazain'ny ray aman-dreniny, satria natahotra ny Jiosy izy; fa efa nifanaiky rahateo ny Jiosy fa raha misy manaiky Azy ho Kristy dia horoahina hiala amin'ny synagoga.

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

²³Izany no nilazan'ny ray aman-dreniny hoe: Efa lehibe izy, koa izy no anontanio.

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.

²⁴Dia niantso ilay jamba teo aloha indray izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Omeo voninahitra Andriamanitra; izahay mahalala fa mpanota izany Lehilahy izany.

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

²⁵Fa izy namaly hoe. Tsy fantatro na mpanota Izy, na tsia; zavatra iray loha ihany no fantatro: jamba aho teo aloha, fa mahiratra aho izao.

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

²⁶Dia hoy izy taminy: Inona no nataony taminao? Nanao ahoana ange no nampahiratany ny masonao?

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?

²⁷Dia namaly azy hoe izy: Efa voalazako taminareo rahateo, fa tsy nihaino ianareo; nahoana no te-hihaino indray ianareo? Moa te-ho mpianany koa va ianareo?

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

²⁸Dia nanevateva azy izy ka nanao hoe: Ialahy no mpianany; fa izahay mpianatr'i Mosesy.

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

²⁹Izahay mahalala fa Mosesy no nitenenan'Andriamanitra; fa ny amin'izany Lehilahy izany, dia tsy fantatray izay nihaviany.

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.

³⁰Ralehilahy namaly azy hoe: Mba mahagaga tokoa lahy izany! fa tsy fantatrareo ny nihaviany, nefa nampahiratra ny masoko Izy.

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

³¹Fantatsika fa Andriamanitra tsy mihaino ny mpanota; fa izay mivavaka aminy sy manao ny sitrapony no henoiny..

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

³²Hatrizay hatrizay dia tsy mbola re fa nisy nampahiratra ny mason'izay teraka jamba.

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

³³Raha tsy avy amin'Andriamanitra izany Lehilahy izany, dia tsy mahefa na inona na inona Izy.

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

³⁴Ary namaly ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Tena teraka tamin'ny ota ialahy, ka ialahy indray va mampianatra anay? Dia noroahiny izy.

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?

³⁵Jesosy nandre fa efa noroahiny ralehilahy; ary rehefa nahita azy Izy, dia nanao hoe: Mino ny Zanak-Andriamanitra va ianao?

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

³⁶Ralehilahy namaly ka nanao hoe: Iza moa no Izy, Tompoko, mba hinoako Azy?

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

³⁷Hoy Jesosy taminy: Efa nahita Azy ianao, sady Izay miresaka aminao izao no Izy.

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

³⁸Ary hoy izy: Tompoko, mino aho. Dia niankohoka teo anatrehany izy.

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.

³⁹Ary hoy Jesosy: Ho fitsarana no nahatongavako amin'izao tontolo izao, mba hahiratra ny tsy mahiratra, ary mba ho tonga jamba kosa ny mahiratra.

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

⁴⁰Ary ny Fariseo sasany izay teo aminy, nony nandre izany, dia nanao taminy hoe: Izahay koa va mba jamba?Hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha jamba ianareo, dia tsy ho nanan-keloka; nefa hoy ianareo ankehitriny: Mahiratra izahay; dia tsy afaka ny helokareo.

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

⁴¹Hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha jamba ianareo, dia tsy ho nanan-keloka; nefa hoy ianareo ankehitriny: Mahiratra izahay; dia tsy afaka ny helokareo.
