1 ¶ And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth.

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

2 A nd his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

Na 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?

3 J esus answered, Neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Ka 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 t is expedient that I do the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night comes, when no one can work.

Me 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 A s long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

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

6 W hen he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay

Ka 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,

7 a nd said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). Then he went and washed and came back seeing.

Na 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.

8 ¶ The neighbours, therefore, and those who before had seen him that he was blind said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

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?

9 S ome said, This is he; others said, He is like him; but he said, I am he.

Ka 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.

10 T hen they said unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

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

11 H e answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and I went and washed, and I received sight.

Ka 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.

12 T hen said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

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

13 ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that beforehand had been blind.

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

14 A nd it was the sabbath day when Jesus had made the clay and had opened his eyes.

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

15 T hen again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed and do see.

Na 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.

16 T herefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God because he does not keep the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

Na 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.

17 T hey said unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that has opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

Ka 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.

18 B ut the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received his sight until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

Heoi 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,

19 A nd they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then does he now see?

A 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?

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

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

21 b ut by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not; he is of age, ask him; he shall speak for himself.

Ko 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.

22 T hese words spoke his parents because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone did confess that he was the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

I 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.

23 T herefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him.

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

24 T hen they called again the man that had been blind and said unto him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.

Na 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.

25 H e answered and said, Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that having been blind, now I see.

Na 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.

26 T hen said they to him again, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?

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

27 H e answered them, I have told you already, and ye have heard; what more would ye hear? Do ye also desire to be his disciples?

Ka 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?

28 T hen they reviled him and said, Be thou his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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

29 W e know that God spoke unto Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where he is from.

E 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.

30 T he man answered and said unto them, Indeed this is a marvellous thing that ye do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.

Na 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.

31 N ow we know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone should fear God and do his will, him he will hear.

E 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.

32 S ince the world began it has not been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

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

33 I f this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

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

34 T hey answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

Na 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.

35 ¶ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe in the Son of God?

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?

36 H e answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him?

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

37 A nd Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talks with thee.

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

38 A nd he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

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

39 ¶ And Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see might see and that those who see might be blinded.

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.

40 A nd some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words and said unto him, Are we blind also?

A, 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?

41 J esus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now because ye say, We see, therefore your sin abides.

Ka 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.
