OET (OET-LV) And they_asked them saying:
This is the son of_you_all, whom you_all are_saying that he_was_born blind?
Therefore how he_is_seeing now?
OET (OET-RV) and asked them, “You two say that this is your son and that he was born blind. If so, how come that now he can see?”

ἠρώτησαν αὐτοὺς λέγοντες
˱they˲_asked them saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “they asked him, and they said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τυφλὸς ἐγεννήθη
blind ˱he˲_/was/_born
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “he was blind when you bore him”
9:1-41 At the Festival of Shelters (chs 7–8), Jesus claimed to be the light of the world (8:12). Now John tells about Jesus giving light, both physically and spiritually, to a blind man who lived in darkness (see 9:5). The story ends with a splendid reversal of roles: The blind man who was assumed to be in spiritual darkness could see God’s light, whereas the Pharisees, who could see physically and were thought to be enlightened, were shown to be spiritually blind.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
