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

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

²His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was 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 did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

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

⁴ I must work the works of him who 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.

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

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

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

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

⁷and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back 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 neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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

¹⁴It was a 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.

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.”

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

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.

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.

¹⁷Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” 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 had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

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

¹⁹and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say 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, “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 don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for 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 man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of 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.

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

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

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.”

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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?”

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 insulted him and said, “You are 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 has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁴They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” They threw 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 thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in 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, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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

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

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