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

¹¶ Na, i a Ihu e haere ana, ka kite ia i tetahi tangata i matapo, no tona whanautanga mai ano.

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

²Na ka ui ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, ko wai i hara, ko tenei, ko ona matua ranei, i whanau matapo ai ia?

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

³Ka whakahokia e Ihu, Ehara i te mea ko tenei kua hara, ko ona matua ranei: engari kia ai ai ia hei whakakitenga mo nga mahi a te Atua.

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

⁴Me mahi e tatou nga mahi a toku kaitono mai i te mea e ao ana: meake ko te po e kore ai e taea he mahi e tetahi tangata.

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

⁵I ahau i te ao nei, ko ahau te marama o te ao.

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

⁶Ka mutu enei korero ana, ka tuwha ia ki te whenua, a pokepokea ana tetahi paru ki te huware, pania atu ana te paru ki nga kanohi o te matapo,

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

⁷Na ka mea ki a ia, haere ki te horoi ki te kaukauranga i Hiroama, ko Tono te whakamaoritanga. Na haere ana ia, horoi ana, a hoki titiro ana mai.

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

⁸¶ Na ka mea nga tangata e noho tata ana, ratou ko nga tangata i kite i tona matapotanga i mua, Ehara ianei tenei i taua tangata i noho ra, i tono mea ra mana?

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

⁹Ka mea etahi, Ko ia tenei: ko etahi i mea, Kahore, engari rite tonu ki a ia te ahua. Ka mea ia, Ko ahau ra ia.

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

¹⁰Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Na te aha ra i kite ai ou kanohi?

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.”

¹¹Ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Na te tangata, e huaina nei ko Ihu, i pokepoke he paru, pania ana e ia ki oku kanohi, ka mea mai ki ahau, Haere ki Hiroama horoi ai: na, ko toku haerenga atu, ko taku horoinga, kite ana ahau.

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

¹²Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kei hea ia? Ka mea ia, E kore ahau e mohio.

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

¹³¶ Ka kawea atu ki nga parihi taua tangata i matapo i mua ra.

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

¹⁴Na no te hapati i pokepokea ai e Ihu te paru, i meinga ai ona kanohi kia kite.

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.”

¹⁵Na ka ui ano nga Parihi ki a ia, ki te pehea i kite ai ia. Ka mea ia ki a ratou, I pania e ia he paru ki oku kanohi, na horoi ana ahau, kite ana.

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.

¹⁶Na ka mea etahi o nga Parihi, Ehara tenei i te tangata na te Atua, ina mea etahi, Ma te aha e taea ai enei merekara e te tangata hara? Na ka wehewehea ratou.

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

¹⁷Ka mea ano ratou ki te matapo, E pehea ana koe ki a ia, ki tana meatanga i ou kanohi kia kite? Ka mea ia, He poropiti ia.

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,

¹⁸Heoi kahore nga Hurai i whakapono i matapo taua tangata, kua meinga ano kia kite, karangatia noatia e ratou nga matua ona i meinga nei kia kite,

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

¹⁹A ka ui ratou ki a raua, ka mea, Ko ta korua tama tenei, e mea nei korua i whanau matapo mai? na te aha ra ia i titiro ai inaianei?

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

²⁰Ka whakahoki ona matua ki a ratou, ka mea, E mohio ana maua, ko ta maua tama tenei, i whanau matapo mai ano:

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.”

²¹Ko te mea ia i kite ai ia inaianei, kahore i mohiotia e maua; kahore hoki maua e mohio na wai i mea ona kanohi kia kite: he kaumatua ia; ui atu ki a ia: mana ia e korero.

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.

²²I penei ona matua, no te mea i mataku raua i nga Hurai: kua takoto noa ake hoki ta nga Hurai tikanga, na ki te whakaae tetahi, ko te Karaiti ia, me pei ki waho o te whare karakia.

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

²³Koia ona matua i mea ai, he kaumatua ia; ui atu ki a ia.

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.”

²⁴Na ka karanga tuarua ratou ki te tangata i matapo i mua ra, ka mea ki a ia, Hoatu he kororia ki te Atua; e matau ana matou he tangata hara tenei.

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.”

²⁵Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kahore ahau e matau he tangata hara ranei ia: kotahi ano taku e matau nei, he matapo ahau i mua, a ina kua kite.

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

²⁶Ka mea ano ratou ki a ia, I aha ia ki a koe? I peheatia ou kanohi i meinga ai e ia kia kite?

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?”

²⁷Ka whakahokia e ia ki a ratou, Kua korerotia ano e ahau ki a koutou ina tonu nei, a kihai koutou i whakarongo: he aha koutou i hiahia ai kia rongo ano? E mea ana oti koutou kia meinga hei akonga mana?

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

²⁸Na whakahi ana ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Ko tana akonga koe; ko matou ia he akonga na Mohi.

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

²⁹E matau ana matou i korero te Atua ki a Mohi: ko tenei tangata ia kahore matou e matau ki tona wahi i haere mai ai.

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

³⁰Na ka whakahoki taua tangata, ka mea ki a ratou, Ha! he mea whakamiharo ra tenei, kahore koutou i matau ki tona wahi i haere mai ai, otira kua meinga e ia oku kanohi kia kite.

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

³¹E matau ana ra tatou, e kore te Atua e whakarongo ki nga tangata hara: tena ki te mea he tangata karakia tetahi ki te Atua, he mea i tana e pai ai, ka whakarongo ia ki a ia.

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

³²Kahore rawa i rangona no te timatanga ra ano o te ao, i whakatirohia e tetahi nga kanohi o te tangata i whanau matapo.

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

³³Ki te mea kihai i puta mai tenei tangata i te Atua, e kore e taea e ia tetahi mea.

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

³⁴Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, I whanau pu koe i roto i nga hara, ko koe ranei hei whakaako i a matou? Na peia ana ia e ratou ki waho.

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

³⁵¶ I rongo a Ihu kua oti ia te pei e ratou ki waho; a, i tona kitenga i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E whakapono ana ranei koe ki te Tama a te Atua?

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

³⁶Ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ko wai ia, e te Ariki, kia whakapono ai ahau ki a ia?

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

³⁷Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kua kite koe i a ia, ko ia hoki tenei e korero nei ki a koe.

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

³⁸Na ko tana meatanga, E te Ariki, e whakapono ana ahau. Na koropiko ana ia ki a ia.

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.”

³⁹¶ Katahi a Ihu ka mea, I haere mai ahau ki tenei ao ki te whakarite whakawa, he mea e kite ai te hunga kahore nei i kite; e whakamatapotia ai hoki te hunga e kite ana.

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

⁴⁰A, ka rangona enei mea e etahi o nga Parihi e tu tahi ana me ia, ka mea ratou ki a ia, E matapo ana ano ranei matou?

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

⁴¹Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Me i matapo koutou, kahore o koutou hara: tena ka mea na koutou, E kite ana matou; na e mau na to koutou hara.
