1 Amoon na fu Yeesu jaaroon, gis fa waa ju judduwaale gumba.
1And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,
2 Taalibeem ya laaj ko ne: «Kilifa gi, lu tax waa jii judduwaale gumba? Ndax bàkkaaram a ko waral, walla bu waajuram?»
2and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?`
3 Yeesu tontu ne: «Ajuwul ci bàkkaaram walla ci bu waajuram. Waaye loolu dafa am, ngir jëfi Yàlla yi feeñ ci moom.
3Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;
4 Bëccëg lanu war a matal jëfi ki ma yónni; guddi dina ñëwi, goo xam ne kenn du ci man a liggéey.
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: —
5 Ci bi may nekk àddina, maay leeru àddina.»
5when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.`
6 Bi Yeesu waxee loolu ba noppi, dafa daldi tifli, jaxase lor wa ak ban, tay ko ci bëti gumba ga ne ko:
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,
7 «Demal sëlmu ci bëtu Silowe.» Silowe mi ngi tekki «Yónni nañu ko.» Gumba ga daldi dem sëlmuji, dellusi di gis.
7`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,` which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;
8 Dëkkandoom yi ak ñi ko xame woon bu jëkk ci yelwaan naan: «Xanaa du kii moo daan toog, di yelwaan?»
8the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?`
9 Ñii naan: «Moom la de!» Ñee naan: «Du moom! Dañoo niroo rekk.» Mu daldi leen ne: «Man la de!»
9others said — `This is he;` and others — `He is like to him;` he himself said, — `I am [he].`
10 Ñu ne ko: «Lu ubbi say bët?»
10They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?`
11 Mu tontu ne: «Ku ñuy wax Yeesu moo tooyal ban, tay ko ci samay bët, ne ma: “Demal sëlmu ci bëtu Silowe.” Ma dem nag sëlmuji, daldi gis.»
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;`
12 Ñu ne ko: «Ana waa ji?» Mu ne leen: «Xawma fu mu nekk.»
12they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?` he saith, `I have not known.`
13 Noonu ñu daldi indil Farisen yi nit ki gumba woon.
13They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,
14 Ndekete Yeesu, bés bi mu tooyale ban, ubbi bëti gumba ga, bésu noflaay la woon.
14and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Looloo tax Farisen ya di laajaat waa ja fi mu jaar bay gis léegi. Mu ne leen: «Dafa tay ban ci samay bët, ma sëlmuji, ba fi ma nekk maa ngi gis.»
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.`
16 Ci noonu am ca Farisen ya ñu naan: «Ki def lii, mënul a jóge ca Yàlla, ndaxte toppul ndigalu bésu noflaay bi.» Ñeneen it di wax ne: «Nan la boroom bàkkaar man a wonee yii firnde?» Noonu ñu daldi féewaloo ci seen biir.
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.
17 Farisen ya laajaat ka gumba woon ne ko: «Yaw, loo wax ci moom? Yaw de la ubbil say bët.» Mu ne leen: «Yonent la.»
17They said to the blind man again, `Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?`
18 Yawut ya mënuñu woon a nangu ne, nit ka dafa gumba woon tey gis léegi, ñu daldi wooluji ay waajuram,
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,
19 laaj leen ne: «Ndax kii mooy seen doom, ji ngeen ne, gumba judduwaale la? Kon fu mu jaar, bay gis léegi?»
19and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?`
20 Waajur ya tontu ne: «Xam nanu ne daal, sunu doom la te dafa judduwaale gumba.
20His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Waaye ni mu def léegi bay gis, xamunu ko, te xamunu it ki ko ubbil ay bëtam. Laajleen ko; magum jëmm la, te man na tontul boppam.»
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.`
22 Ragal Yawut ya nag moo taxoon waajuri nit ka waxe noonu, ndaxte Yawut ya dañoo mànkoo woon ne, képp ku seede ne Yeesu mooy Almasi bi, ñu dàq la ca jàngu ba.
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;
23 Looloo tax waajur ya ne: «Laajleen ko; magum jëmm la.»
23because of this his parents said — `He is of age, ask him.`
24 Farisen ya dellu woowaat ka gumba woon ne ko: «Waxal sa digganteek Yàlla. Xam nanu ne, waa joojee boroom bàkkaar la.»
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;`
25 Mu tontu ne: «Xawma ndax boroom bàkkaar la am déet. Li ma xam daal mooy gumba woon naa, te léegi maa ngi gis.»
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.`
26 Ñu laaj ko ne: «Lu mu la def? Nu mu la ubbile say bët?»
26And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?`
27 Mu ne leen: «Wax naa leen ko ba noppi, waaye dégluwuleen ma. Lu ngeen bëgg ci ma di ko wax, di waxaat? Xanaa dangeen a bëgg a nekk yéen itam ay taalibeem?»
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?`
28 Ci kaw loolu ñu daldi ko saaga ne ko: «Yaw yaay taalibeem. Nun, taalibey Musaa lanu.
28They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses` disciples;
29 Xam nanu ne, Yàlla wax na ak Musaa; waaye kii, xamunu sax fu mu jóge.»
29we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.`
30 Waa ja ne leen: «Loolu de, doy na waar! Xamuleen fu mu jóge, te moo ubbi samay bët!
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!
31 Xam nanu ne, Yàlla du déglu boroom bàkkaar. Waaye nag, dina déglu ki koy ragal tey def coobareem.
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;
32 Bi àddina sosoo ba tey, musuñoo dégg nit ku ubbi bëti gumbag judduwaale.
32from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;
33 Kon nit kookee nag, bu jógewul woon ca Yàlla, du man a def dara.»
33if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.`
34 Ñu tontu ko ne: «Yaw, ci biir bàkkaar nga juddoo, ba noppi di nu jàngal?» Noonu ñu dàq ko ca jàngu ba.
34They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!` and they cast him forth without.
35 Yeesu daldi yég ne, dàq nañu nit ka. Bi mu dajeek moom, mu ne ko: «Ndax gëm nga Doomu nit ki?»
35Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?`
36 Waa ja ne ko: «Wax ma mooy kan, Sang bi, ba ma man koo gëm.»
36he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?`
37 Yeesu ne ko: «Gis nga ko ba noppi, te mooy kiy wax ak yaw.»
37And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;`
38 Waa ja ne: «Boroom bi, gëm naa la.» Noonu mu jaamu Yeesu.
38and he said, `I believe, sir,` and bowed before him.
39 Yeesu ne ko: «Àttee ma tax a ñëw àddina, ngir ñi gumba gis, ñiy gis gumba.»
39And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.`
40 Bi Farisen ya nekkoon ak moom déggee loolu, ñu ne ko: «Xanaa kon nun it danoo gumba?»
40And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?`
41 Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Bu ngeen gumba woon, dungeen am bàkkaar, waaye fi ak yéena ngi naan: “Nu ngi gis,” ci bàkkaar ngeen di dëkk.
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.
