Juan 9
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Gin-ayo ni Jesus ang Tawo nga Natawo nga Bulag
9 Samtang nagalakat sila ni Jesus, may nakita sila nga tawo nga bulag halin pa sang iya pagkatawo. 2 Karon ginpamangkot si Jesus sang iya mga sumulunod, “Manunudlo, kay sin-o bala sala nga natawo siya nga bulag? Iya bala sala ukon sala sang iya mga ginikanan?” 3 Nagsabat si Jesus, “Indi tungod sang iya sala ukon sang sala sang iya mga ginikanan, kundi nabulag siya agod makita sang mga tawo ang gahom sang Dios paagi sa pag-ayo sa iya. 4 Dapat himuon ta ang ginapahimo sang Dios nga nagpadala sa akon samtang adlaw pa, nga mahimo pa naton. Kay magaabot ang gab-i, ang tion nga indi ta na mahimo ang iya ginapahimo. 5 Samtang ari pa ako sa kalibutan ako ang suga nga nagahatag sang kasanag sa mga tawo.” 6 Pagkahambal niya sadto nagdupla siya dayon sa duta. Ginmiksla niya ang dupla sa duta kag ginlamhit niya ini sa mga mata sang bulag. 7 Nagsiling siya dayon sa bulag, “Kadto ka sa palaligusan sa Siloam kag magpanghilam-os didto.” (Ang buot silingon sang Siloam “Ginpadala.”) Gani nagkadto ang bulag sa Siloam kag nagpanghilam-os. Pagkatapos nagbalik siya dayon nga nakakita na.
8 Nagsiling ang iya mga kaingod kag ang mga tawo nga nakakita anay sa iya nga nagapakilimos, “Indi bala nga ang ina nga tawo amo anay ang nagasagi pungko nga nagapakilimos?” 9 Nagsiling ang iban, “Amo ina siya!” Pero may iban nga nagsiling, “Indi ina siya! Kundi pareho lang sila sing hitsura.” Gani ang tawo mismo nagsiling, “Ako gid ang tawo nga inyo ginasiling.” 10 Gani ginpamangkot nila siya, “Paano bala nga makakita ka na subong?” 11 Nagsiling siya, “Ang tawo nga ginatawag nga si Jesus naghimo sang lunang.[a] Pagkatapos ginlamhit niya ini sa akon mga mata kag ginsilingan niya ako dayon nga magkadto sa palaligusan sa Siloam kag magpanghilam-os. Gani nagkadto ako didto kag pagkatapos ko panghilam-os, nakakita na ako.” 12 Ginpamangkot nila siya kon diin na ang tawo nga nag-ayo sa iya. Nagsiling siya, “Ambot, wala ako kahibalo.”
Gin-imbistigar sang mga Pariseo ang Tawo nga Gin-ayo
13 Gindala nila dayon sa mga Pariseo ang ato nga tawo, nga sadto anay bulag. 14 Adlaw sadto nga Inugpahuway sang pagmiksla ni Jesus sang duta kag sang pag-ayo niya sa mata sang tawo nga bulag. 15 Gani ginpamangkot man siya sang mga Pariseo kon paano nga makakita na siya. Kag ginsugiran niya sila, “Ginlamhitan ni Jesus sing lunang ang akon mga mata kag pagkatapos nagpanghilam-os ako, kag subong makakita na ako.” 16 May mga Pariseo nga nagsiling, “Ang tawo nga naghimo sini indi halin sa Dios, tungod kay wala siya nagatuman sang kasuguan parte sa Adlaw nga Inugpahuway.” Pero nagsiling ang iban, “Kon siya tawo nga makasasala indi siya makahimo sang mga milagro nga pareho sini.” Gani nagbinahin-bahin sila.
17 Nagpamangkot pa gid liwat ang mga Pariseo sa tawo nga sadto anay bulag, “Siling mo gin-ayo ka niya, ti karon, ano ang masiling mo parte sa iya?” Nagsiling siya, “Kon sa akon lang, isa siya ka propeta.” 18 Pero indi magpati ang mga lider sang mga Judio nga bulag siya anay kag subong makakita na, gani ginpatawag nila ang iya mga ginikanan. 19 Pagkatapos ginpamangkot nila sila, “Inyo bala anak ini? Matuod gid man bala nga natawo siya nga bulag? Ngaa makakita na siya subong?” 20 Nagsabat ang iya mga ginikanan, “Kilala namon nga siya amon anak kag matuod nga natawo siya nga bulag. 21 Pero kon paano nga makakita na siya kag kon sin-o ang nag-ayo sang iya mga mata, ina ang wala namon mahibalui. Pamangkuta ninyo siya kay may buot naman na siya kag sarang makasabat para sa iya kaugalingon.” 22 Amo sadto ang sabat sang iya mga ginikanan tungod kay nahadlok sila sa mga lider sang mga Judio. Kay ang ini nga mga lider nagsugtanay na nga daan nga ang bisan sin-o nga magkilala kay Jesus nga siya amo ang Cristo indi na nila pagpasudlon sa ila simbahan. 23 Amo gani nga ang iya mga ginikanan nagsiling, “Pamangkuta ninyo siya kay may buot naman na siya.”
24 Gani gintawag nila liwat ang tawo nga sadto anay bulag kag ginsilingan, “Abi magsugid ka sang matuod parte sadto nga tawo, kay ang Dios nagapamati. Kon sa amon lang, nahibaluan namon nga siya makasasala.” 25 Nagsabat ang tawo, “Wala ako kahibalo kon makasasala siya ukon indi. Basta nahibaluan ko nga sang una bulag ako pero subong makakita na.” 26 Nagpamangkot naman sila liwat, “Ano bala ang iya ginhimo sa imo? Paano niya gin-ayo ang imo mga mata?” 27 Nagsabat siya, “Indi bala nga ginsugiran ko na kamo? Pero indi kamo magpati. Ti ngaa nagapamangkot pa kamo liwat? Ano, gusto man bala ninyo nga mangin iya mga sumulunod?” 28 Gani naakig sila kag ginbuyayaw nila siya kag ginsilingan, “Ikaw iya nga sumulunod, pero kami mga sumulunod ni Moises. 29 Nahibaluan namon nga nagpakighambal ang Dios kay Moises sang una, pero kon parte sa tawo nga ina, wala gani kami kahibalo kon diin siya naghalin!” 30 Nagsabat dayon ang tawo, “Katingalahan! Siya ang nag-ayo sa akon, pagkatapos nagasiling kamo nga wala kamo kahibalo kon sa diin siya naghalin. 31 Nahibaluan ta nga wala nagasabat ang Dios sa mga makasasala. Pero ginasabat niya ang mga tawo nga nagatahod sa iya kag nagatuman sang iya kabubut-on. 32 Halin sang pagsugod sang kalibutan wala pa gid kita makabati nga may tawo nga nag-ayo sang mata sang isa ka tawo nga bulag halin sang iya pagkatawo. 33 Kon indi siya naghalin sa Dios, indi siya kuntani makahimo sing pareho sini.” 34 Nagsabat ang mga lider sang mga Judio, “Natawo ka kag nagdako sa sala, kag karon tudluan mo pa kami?” Kag ginsilingan nila siya nga indi na siya pagtugutan nga magsulod sa ila mga simbahan.
Ang Espirituhanon nga Pagkabulag
35 Karon, nabalitaan ni Jesus nga indi na nila pagpasudlon sa ila mga simbahan ang tawo nga sadto anay bulag. Gani ginpangita niya ang tawo. Pagkakita niya sa iya ginpamangkot niya siya, “Nagatuo ka bala sa Anak sang Tawo?” 36 Nagsabat siya, “Sir, sugiri man ako kon sin-o siya agod makatuo ako sa iya!” 37 Nagsiling si Jesus, “Nakita mo na siya, kay siya mismo ang nagapakighambal sa imo subong.” 38 Nagsiling dayon ang tawo, “Ginoo, nagatuo ako sa imo!” Kag nagluhod siya dayon kag nagsimba kay Jesus.
39 Nagsiling si Jesus, “Nagkadto ako diri sa kalibutan agod hukman ang mga tawo. Ang mga tawo nga nagakilala nga sila bulag sa kamatuoran ayuhon ko agod makakita sila. Kag ang mga tawo nga nagasiling nga sila kuno indi bulag, magaguwa nga sila amo ang bulag.” 40 Karon, may mga Pariseo didto nga malapit sa iya nga nakabati sang iya ginhambal. Kag nagpamangkot sila, “Ang buot mo silingon pati kami mga bulag man?” 41 Ginsabat sila ni Jesus, “Kon ginabaton ninyo nga bulag kamo sa kamatuoran, wala kamo kuntani sing sala. Pero tungod kay nagasiling kamo nga indi kamo bulag, ini nagakahulugan lang nga may sala pa gihapon kamo.”

John 9
New International Version
Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi,(A) who sinned,(B) this man(C) or his parents,(D) that he was born blind?”
3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.(E) 4 As long as it is day,(F) we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”(G)
6 After saying this, he spit(H) on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam”(I) (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.(J)
8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”(K) 9 Some claimed that he was.
Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”
But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”
10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”(L)
12 “Where is this man?” they asked him.
“I don’t know,” he said.
The Pharisees Investigate the Healing
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath.(M) 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight.(N) “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”
16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.”(O)
But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?”(P) So they were divided.(Q)
17 Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.”
The man replied, “He is a prophet.”(R)
18 They(S) still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”
20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders,(T) who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out(U) of the synagogue.(V) 23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”(W)
24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,”(X) they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”(Y)
25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 He answered, “I have told you already(Z) and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses!(AA) 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”(AB)
30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.(AC) 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God,(AD) he could do nothing.”
34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth;(AE) how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.(AF)
Spiritual Blindness
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe(AG) in the Son of Man?”(AH)
36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”(AI)
37 Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”(AJ)
38 Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.(AK)
39 Jesus said,[a] “For judgment(AL) I have come into this world,(AM) so that the blind will see(AN) and those who see will become blind.”(AO)
40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”(AP)
41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.(AQ)

New Century Version
Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been born blind. 2 His followers asked him, “Teacher, whose sin caused this man to be born blind—his own sin or his parents’ sin?”
3 Jesus answered, “It is not this man’s sin or his parents’ sin that made him blind. This man was born blind so that God’s power could be shown in him. 4 While it is daytime, we must continue doing the work of the One who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground and made some mud with it and put the mud on the man’s eyes. 7 Then he told the man, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam.” (Siloam means Sent.) So the man went, washed, and came back seeing.
8 The neighbors and some people who had earlier seen this man begging said, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”
9 Some said, “He is the one,” but others said, “No, he only looks like him.”
The man himself said, “I am the man.”
10 They asked, “How did you get your sight?”
11 He answered, “The man named Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”
12 They asked him, “Where is this man?”
“I don’t know,” he answered.
Pharisees Question the Healing
13 Then the people took to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 The day Jesus had made mud and healed his eyes was a Sabbath day. 15 So now the Pharisees asked the man, “How did you get your sight?”
He answered, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and now I see.”
16 So some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man does not keep the Sabbath day, so he is not from God.”
But others said, “A man who is a sinner can’t do miracles like these.” So they could not agree with each other.
17 They asked the man again, “What do you say about him since it was your eyes he opened?”
The man answered, “He is a prophet.”
18 These leaders did not believe that he had been blind and could now see again. So they sent for the man’s parents 19 and asked them, “Is this your son who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
20 His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21 But we don’t know how he can now see. We don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the elders, who had already decided that anyone who said Jesus was the Christ would be avoided. 23 That is why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
24 So for the second time, they called the man who had been blind. They said, “You should give God the glory by telling the truth. We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 He answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see.”
26 They asked, “What did he do to you? How did he make you see again?”
27 He answered, “I already told you, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his followers, too?”
28 Then they insulted him and said, “You are his follower, but we are followers of Moses. 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don’t even know where this man comes from.”
30 The man answered, “This is a very strange thing. You don’t know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We all know that God does not listen to sinners, but he listens to anyone who worships and obeys him. 32 Nobody has ever heard of anyone giving sight to a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 They answered, “You were born full of sin! Are you trying to teach us?” And they threw him out.
Spiritual Blindness
35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, Jesus found him and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 He asked, “Who is the Son of Man, sir, so that I can believe in him?”
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. The Son of Man is the one talking with you.”
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” Then the man worshiped Jesus.
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world so that the world could be judged. I came so that the blind[a] would see and so that those who see will become blind.”
40 Some of the Pharisees who were nearby heard Jesus say this and asked, “Are you saying we are blind, too?”
41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But since you keep saying you see, your guilt remains.”
