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

¹And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

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?

²and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?`

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

³Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

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

⁴it 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: —

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

⁵when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.`

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

⁶These 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,

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.

⁷`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,` which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

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

⁸the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?`

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

⁹others said — `This is he;` and others — `He is like to him;` he himself said, — `I am [he].`

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

¹⁰They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?`

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.

¹¹he 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;`

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

¹²they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?` he saith, `I have not known.`

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

¹³They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,

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

¹⁴and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

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

¹⁵Again, 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.`

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.

¹⁶Of 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.

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

¹⁷They said to the blind man again, `Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?`

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

¹⁸and 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,

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

¹⁹and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?`

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

²⁰His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

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.

²¹and 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.`

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.

²²These 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;

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

²³because of this his parents said — `He is of age, ask him.`

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

²⁴They 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;`

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.

²⁵he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.`

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

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

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?

²⁷He 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?`

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

²⁸They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses` disciples;

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

²⁹we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.`

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

³⁰The 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!

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

³¹and 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;

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

³²from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

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

³³if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.`

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

³⁴They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!` and they cast him forth without.

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

³⁵Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?`

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

³⁶he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?`

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

³⁷And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;`

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

³⁸and he said, `I believe, sir,` and bowed before him.

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

³⁹And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.`

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.

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

⁴¹Hoy 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 were not having had sin, but now ye say — We see, therefore doth your sin remain.
