Yohana 9:1-7
[1]Hata alipokuwa akipita alimwona mtu, kipofu tangu kuzaliwa.
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
[2]Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza wakisema, Rabi, ni yupi aliyetenda dhambi, mtu huyu au wazazi wake, hata azaliwe kipofu?
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
[3]Yesu akajibu, Huyu hakutenda dhambi, wala wazazi wake; bali kazi za Mungu zidhihirishwe ndani yake.
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
[4]Imetupasa kuzifanya kazi zake yeye aliyenipeleka maadamu ni mchana, usiku waja asipoweza mtu kufanya kazi.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
[5]Muda nilipo ulimwenguni, mimi ni nuru ya ulimwengu.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
[6]Alipokwisha kusema hayo, alitema mate chini, akafanya tope kwa yale mate. Akampaka kipofu tope za macho,
When 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,
[7]akamwambia, Nenda kanawe katika birika ya Siloamu, (maana yake, Aliyetumwa). Basi akaenda na kunawa; akarudi anaona.
And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
