1And Jesus passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth:
1Pea ʻi he ʻalu ange ʻa Sisu , ne mamata ia ki ha tangata naʻe fanauʻi ko e kui.
2And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?
2Pea fehuʻi ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Lāpai, ko hai naʻe fai angahala, ʻae tangata ni, pe ko ʻene mātuʻa, naʻe fanauʻi kui ai ia?”
3Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
3Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “Naʻe ʻikai fai angahala ʻae tangata ni, pe ko ʻene mātuʻa: ka ko e meʻa ke fakahā ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua.
4I must work the works of him that sent me, whilst it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
4ʻOku totonu ke u fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau au, lolotonga ʻene kei ʻaho: ʻoku haʻu ʻae pō, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ngāue ai ha tokotaha.”
5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
5ʻI heʻeku kei ʻi māmani ko e maama au ʻo māmani.
6When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on his eyes,
6Hili ʻene lea pehē, naʻe ʻaʻanu ia ki he kelekele, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻaʻanu ʻae ʻumea, ʻo ne pani ʻaki ʻae ʻumea ʻae mata ʻoe tangata kui,
7And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore, and washed, and he came seeing.
7ʻO ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo kaukau ʻi he ano vai ko Seiloami,” (ʻa ia ko hono ʻuhinga, “Ko e fekau.”) Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ia, ʻo kaukau, pea haʻu kuo ʻā.
8The neighbours therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This is he.
8¶ Ko ia ko e kaungāʻapi, pea mo kinautolu naʻe mamata muʻa kiate ia ʻi heʻene kui, naʻa nau pehē, “ʻIkai ko eni ia naʻe nofo ʻo kole?”
9But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he.
9Pea tala ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko eni ia:” pea lea ʻae niʻihi, “ʻOku hangē ko ia:” ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au ia.”
10They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened?
10“Ko ia naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, naʻe fakaʻā fēfeeʻi ho mata?”
11He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe, and wash. And I went, I washed, and I see.
11Pea talaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e tangata ʻoku ui ko Sisu naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ʻumea, ʻo ne pani hoku mata, pea ne pehē kiate au, ‘ʻAlu ki he ano vai ko Seiloami, ʻo kaukau:’ pea naʻaku ʻalu, ʻo kaukau, pea u ʻā ai.”
12And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not.
12Pea nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Kofaʻā ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa.”
13They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees.
13¶ Naʻa nau ʻomi ki he kau Fālesi ʻaia naʻe kui.
14Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
14Pea ko e ʻaho Sāpate ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ai ʻe Sisu ʻae ʻumea, ʻo ne fakaʻā hono mata.
15Again therefore the Pharisees asked him, how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
15Pea fehuʻi foki ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, pe naʻe fēfē hono fakaʻā. Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘Naʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻae ʻumea ki hoku mata, pea u kaukau, pea ʻoku ou ʻā.”
16Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
16Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he niʻihi ʻoe kau Fālesi, “ʻOku ʻikai mei he ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he ʻaho Sāpate.” Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻE faʻa fai fēfeeʻi ʻae ngaahi mana pehē ʻe ha angahala? Pea naʻa nau fakakikihi ai.”
17They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened they eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.
17Pea naʻa nau toe fehuʻi ki he tangata kui, “Ko e hā hoʻo lau kiate ia, ʻi heʻene fakaʻā ho mata?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e palōfita ia.”
18The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
18Ka naʻe ʻikai tui ʻae kakai Siu naʻe kui ia, pea kuo ʻā, kaeʻoua ke nau ui ʻae mātuʻa ʻo ia kuo fakaʻā.
19And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see?
19Pea nau fehuʻi kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻomo tama eni, ʻoku mo lau naʻe fanauʻi kui? Pea ʻoku ʻa fēfē eni?”
20His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
20Pea leaange ʻene mātuʻa kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ma ʻilo ko ʻema tama eni, pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻoku kui:
21But how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: ask himself: he is of age, let him speak for himself.
21Ka ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻā ai ni ia, ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ma ʻilo pe ko hai kuo fakaʻā hono mata; ka ʻoku lahi ia: fehuʻi ki ai: ke lea ia kiate ia.”
22These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
22Naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻa ʻene mātuʻa, he naʻa na manavahē ki he kakai Siu: he kuo alea pau ʻae kakai Siu, kapau ʻe ai ha tokotaha te ne fakahā ko e Kalaisi ia, ʻe kapusi ia mei he falelotu.
23Therefore did his parents say: He is of age, ask himself.
23Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe heʻene mātuʻa, “ʻOku lahi ia; fehuʻi ki ai.”
24They therefore called the man again that had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.
24Pea naʻa nau toe ui ʻae tangata naʻe kui, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Tuku ki he ʻOtua ʻae fakamālō: ʻoku mau ʻilo ko e angahala ʻae tangata ni.”
25He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.
25Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ha angahala ia pe ʻikai, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo: ko e meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ou ʻilo, naʻaku kui, ka ko eni ʻoku ou ʻā.”
26They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?
26Pea toe fehuʻi ai ʻakinautolu kiate ia, “Ko e hā naʻa ne fai kiate koe? Naʻe fēfeeʻi ʻene fakaʻā ho mata?”
27He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard: why would you hear it again? will you also become his disciples?
27Pea leaange ia kiate kinautolu, “Kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou ongoʻi: ko e hā ʻoku mou toe fie fanongo ai? Te mou ului ko ʻene kau ākonga foki?”
28They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.
28Pea nau taukaea ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ʻene ākonga ʻa koe; ka ko e kau ākonga ʻa Mōsese ʻakimautolu.
29We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is.
29ʻOku mau ʻilo naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Mōsese: ka ko e tangata ni, ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo pe ʻoku mei fē ia.”
30The man answered, and said to them: Why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.
30Pea leaange ʻae tangata, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ta ko e meʻa fakamanavahē eni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe ʻoku haʻu ia mei fē, ka kuo ne fakaʻā hoku mata.
31Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.
31ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kau angahala: ka ʻoka lotu ha tangata ki he ʻOtua, pea fai hono finangalo, ʻoku ne ongoʻi ia.
32From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind.
32Talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani ʻoku teʻeki fanongo naʻe ai ha tangata kuo fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻo ha tokotaha kuo fanauʻi kui.
33Unless this man were of God, he could not do any thing.
33Ka ne ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni, ʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe ia ha meʻa.”
34They answered, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
34Pea leaange ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Naʻa ke tupu tofu pe ʻi he ngaahi angahala, pea ʻoku ke akoʻi ʻakimautolu?” Pea naʻa nau kapusi ia kituʻa.
35Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God?
35Pea ongoʻi ʻe Sisu kuo nau kapusi ia kituʻa: pea ne toki ʻilo ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke tui ki he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua?”
36He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
36Pea leaange ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ko hai ia, koeʻuhi ke u tui kiate ia?”
37And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee.
37Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kuo ke mamata kiate ia, pea ko ia ia ʻoku talanoa kiate koe.”
38And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.
38Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ou tui. Pea naʻa ne hū kiate ia.
39And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world; that they who see not, may see; and they who see, may become blind.
39¶ Pea lea ʻa Sisu, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamaau kuo u haʻu ki māmani, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai mamata ke nau mamata; pea ke kui ʻakinautolu ʻoku mamata.”
40And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind?
40Pea fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ni ʻae niʻihi ʻoe Fālesi naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻonau pehē ki ai, “ʻOku kui ʻakimautolu foki?”
41Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth.
41Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne kui ʻakimoutolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai haʻamou angahala ka ko eni ʻoku mou pehē, ʻOku mau ʻā ko ia ʻoku maʻu pe hoʻomou angahala.”
