1Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
1Jesu loe loklam ah caeh, to naah tapen tangsuek hoi mikmaeng kami to a hnuk.
2and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
2A hnukbang kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Rabbi, hae kami loe angmah ih zaehaih pongah maw, to tih ai boeh loe amno ampanawk zaehaih pongah maw mik maengh? tiah dueng o.
3Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.
3Jesu mah, Angmah zaehaih pongah na ai, amno ampanawk zaehaih pongah doeh na ai: toe anih khaeah Sithaw toksakhaih to amtueng tih.
4While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
4Khodai naah kai patoehkung ih tok to ka sak han oh: khoving naah loe mi doeh toksah thai mak ai.
5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
5Kia long ah ka oh nathung, kai loe long aanghaih ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
6When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.
6Hae loknawk a thuih pacoengah, anih mah long ah tamtui pathoih moe, long to tamtui hoiah kanaem ah pathluem; to pacoengah mikmaeng ih mik to long kanaem hoiah a nok pae,
7Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.
7caeh ah loe kangbuem Siloam tuili (thuih koehhaih loe patoeh tih haih ih ni) ah amsae ah, tiah a naa.
8At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
8Imtaeng kaminawk hoi anih loe mikmaeng ni, tiah hnuzong kaminawk mah, Hae kami loe anghnut moe, minawk khaeah ban patueng kami na ai maw? tiah thuih o.
9Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
9Thoemto kaminawk mah, Hae kami loe anih to ni, tiah thuih o, kalah thoemto kaminawk mah loe, Hae kami loe anih hoiah anghmong, tiah thuih o: toe mikmaeng mah to kami loe kai ni, tiah a naa.
10“How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
10Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Kawbangmaw na mik amtueng? tiah a naa o.
11He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”
11Anih mah, Jesu, tiah kawk ih kami mah long to kanaem ah pathluem moe, ka mik ah ang nok pae, to pacoengah kangbuem Siloam tuili ah amsaeh hanah ang thuih; ka caeh moe, kam saeh naah, ka mik hae amtueng, tiah pathim pae.
12“Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
12Nihcae mah anih khaeah, To kami loe naa ah maw oh? tiah dueng o. Anih mah, Ka panoek ai, tiah a naa.
13They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
13Nihcae mah mikmaeng to Farasinawk khaeah hoih o.
14Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
14Sabbath niah Jesu mah long to kanaem ah pathluem moe, mikmaeng to ngantuisak.
15So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
15Farasinawk mah doeh na mik loe kawbangmaw amtueng, tiah dueng o. Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Anih mah long kanaem to ka mik ah ang nok pae, tui hoiah mik ka pasaeh naah, ka mik hae amtueng, tiah a naa.
16Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
16To naah thoemto Farasinawk mah, Hae kami loe Sabbath ni za ai pongah, Sithaw khae ih kami na ai ni, tiah thuih o. Kalah kaminawk mah loe, Kazae kami mah kawbangmaw hae baktih dawnrai hmuennawk to sah tih, tiah a naa o. To pongah maeto hoi maeto ampraek o.
17So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.
17Nihcae mah mikmaeng khaeah, Na mik amtuengsak kami to kawbangmaw na poek? tiah dueng o let. To naah anih mah, To kami loe Tahmaa ni, tiah a naa.
18The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
18Toe Judahnawk mah hae kami loe mikmaengh, toe vaihi loe mik amtueng boeh, tito mik amtueng kami ih amno hoi ampa kawk ai karoek to tang o ai.
19and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
19Nihcae mah to kami ih amno hoi ampa khaeah, Anih loe tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah mik a maeng boeh, tiah na thuih hoi ih nanghnik ih capa maw? Kawbangmaw vaihi anih ih mik amtueng pae? tiah dueng o.
20His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
20Anih ih amno hoi ampa mah nihcae khaeah, Hae kami loe kaihnik ih capa ni, anih loe tapen tangsuek na hoiah mikmaeng boeh:
21But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”
21toe kawbangmaw vaihi a mik amtueng pae let, mi mah maw a mik amtuengsak, tito ka panoek hoi ai: anih loe saning akoep boeh: to pongah angmah khaeah dueng oh: anih mah angmah kawng to thui tih hmang, tiah a naa hoi.
22His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
22Mi kawbaktih doeh Anih loe Kri ni, tiah thui kami loe sineko hoiah pathok si, tiah Judahnawk palung adue o; Judah kaminawk to a zit hoi pongah ni, anih ih amno hoi ampa mah to tiah lokthuih hoi.
23That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
23To pongah, anih ih amno hoi ampa mah anih loe saning akoep boeh; angmah khaeah dueng oh, tiah a thuih pae hoi.
24So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
24Nihcae mah mikmaeng to kawk o let moe, anih khaeah, Sithaw to mah pakoeh ah: hae kami loe kami zae, tiah ni ka panoek o, tiah a naa o.
25He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”
25Anih mah, Hae kami loe kami zae maw, kami zae ai, tito ka panoek ai: hmuen maeto ka panoek ih oh, kai loe canghniah mik ka maengh, toe vaihi loe mik amtueng boeh, tiah a naa.
26“What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
26To naah nihcae mah anih khaeah, Anih mah tih maw ang sak pae? Anih mah na mik to kawbangmaw amtuengsak? tiah dueng o let.
27He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
27Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kang thui o boeh, toe na tahngai o ai: tikhoe thaih let han na koeh o loe? Nangcae doeh Anih hnukbang kami ah oh hanah na koeh o maw? tiah a naa.
28Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
28To naah nihcae mah anih to zoeh o, Nang loe Anih hnukbang kami ah na oh, toe kaicae loe Mosi hnukbang kami ah ni ka oh o.
29We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
29Sithaw mah Mosi khaeah ni lokthuih pae, tito ka panoek o: toe hae kami loe naa ih kami maw, tito ka panoek o ai, tiah a naa o.
30“That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
30To kami mah nihcae khaeah, Dawnrai han oh, Anih loe naa ih kami maw, tito na panoek o ai, toe anih mah ni ka mik hae amtuengsak.
31We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
31Sithaw mah kami zaenawk ih lok tahngai ai, tito a panoek o: toe Sithaw to bok moe, a koehhaih sah kami ih lok loe, Anih mah tahngai pae.
32Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.
32Tapen tangsuek na hoi kaom mikmaeng to mik amtuengsak, tiah long oh tangsuek na hoi mi mah doeh thai vai ai vop.
33If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”
33Hae kami loe Sithaw ih kami ai nahaeloe, anih mah tidoeh sah thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
34They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.
34Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Kami zae ah tapen nang mah kaicae hae nang patuk maw? tiah a naa o. Anih to tasa bangah pathok o ving.
35When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man ?”
35Nihcae mah mikmaeng to haek o ving, tiah Jesu mah thaih; Jesu mah mikmaeng to hnuk naah, anih khaeah, Kami Capa to na tang maw? tiah a naa.
36“Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”
36To naah mikmaeng mah Jesu khaeah, Angraeng, Anih to ka tang thai hanah, Anih loe mi maw? tiah a naa.
37“You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
37Jesu mah anih khaeah Anih to na hnuk boeh bae, nang hoi lokpae kami loe anih to boeh ni, tiah a naa.
38“Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
38To naah mikmaeng mah, Angraeng, Ka tang, tiah thuih moe, Anih to a bok.
39Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
39Jesu mah, Kai loe mikmaengnawk mik amtuengsak moe, mik amtueng kaminawk mikmaengsak han hoi lokcaek han ih ni hae long nuiah kang zoh, tiah a naa.
40Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
40Anih khae kaom thoemto Farasinawk mah to loknawk to thaih o naah, anih khaeah, Kaicae doeh mik ka maengh o maw? tiah a naa o.
41“If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
41Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Mik na maeng o nahaeloe, zaehaih na tawn o mak ai: toe kaicae loe mik amtueng, tiah vaihi na thuih o pongah, zaehaih na tawnh o, tiah a naa.
