¹As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

¹ሲያልፍም ከመወለዱ ጀምሮ ዕውር የሆነውን ሰው አየ።

²His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

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

³Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

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

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

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

⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

⁵በዓለም ሳለሁ የዓለም ብርሃን ነኝ።

⁶When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

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

⁷and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

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

⁸The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

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

⁹Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”

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

¹⁰They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”

¹⁰ታድያ። ዓይኖችህ እንዴት ተከፈቱ? አሉት።

¹¹He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

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

¹²Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”

¹²ያ ሰው ወዴት ነው? አሉት። አላውቅም አለ።

¹³They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

¹³በፊት ዕውር የነበረውን ሰው ወደ ፈሪሳውያን ወሰዱት።

¹⁴It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

¹⁴ኢየሱስም ጭቃ አድርጎ ዓይኖቹን የከፈተበት ቀን ሰንበት ነበረ።

¹⁵Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”

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

¹⁶Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” There was division among them.

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

¹⁷Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

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

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

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

¹⁹and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

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

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

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

²¹but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

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

²²His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

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

²³Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

²³ስለዚህ ወላጆቹ። ሙሉ ሰው ነው፥ ጠይቁት አሉ።

²⁴So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

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

²⁵He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

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

²⁶They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

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

²⁷He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”

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

²⁸They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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

²⁹We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

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

³⁰The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

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

³¹We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him. Psalm 66:18, Proverbs 15:29; 28:9

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

³²Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

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

³³If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

³³ይህ ሰው ከእግዚአብሔር ባይሆን ምንም ሊያደርግ ባልቻለም ነበር።

³⁴They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” They threw him out.

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

³⁵Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

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

³⁶He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

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

³⁷Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

³⁷ኢየሱስም። አይተኸዋልም ከአንተ ጋርም የሚናገረው እርሱ ነው አለው።

³⁸He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

³⁸እርሱም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አምናለሁ አለ፤ ሰገደለትም።

³⁹Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

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

⁴⁰Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”

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

⁴¹Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

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