Jean 4
1 An Aotrou, o vezañ gouezet o devoa ar farizianed klevet e rae hag e vadeze muioc'h a ziskibien eget Yann,
Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
2 (koulskoude ne oa ket Jezuz e-unan a vadeze, met e ziskibien)
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 a guitaas Bro-Judea, hag a zistroas e Galilea;
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 met, ret e oa dezhañ tremen dre Samaria.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Erruout a reas eta en ur gêr eus Samaria, anvet Sikar, tost d'an douar en devoa Jakob roet d'e vab Jozef.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Eno e oa puñs Jakob. Jezuz eta, skuizh gant an hent, a azezas e-kichen ar puñs; war-dro ar c'hwec'hvet eur e oa.
Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.
7 Ur wreg samaritan o vezañ deuet evit tennañ dour, Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Ro din da evañ.
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 E ziskibien a oa aet e kêr, evit prenañ boued.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Ar wreg samaritan a respontas dezhañ: Penaos, te hag a zo yuzev, a c'houlenn da evañ diganin-me, ur Samaritanez? (Rak ar Yuzevien ne zarempredont ket gant ar Samaritaned.)
"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jezuz a respontas hag a lavaras dezhi: Mar anavezjes donezon Doue, ha piv eo an hini a lavar dit: Ro din da evañ, te a c'houlennje da-unan digantañ, hag eñ a roje dit dour bev.
"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
11 Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, te ne'c'h eus netra evit tennañ dour, hag ar puñs a zo don; a-belec'h eta ez pefe an dour bev-se?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Brasoc'h out eget hon tad Jakob en deus roet deomp ar puñs-mañ hag en deus evet e-unan anezhañ, kenkoulz evel e vibien hag e loened?
Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"
13 Jezuz a respontas dezhi: Piv bennak a ev eus an dour-mañ en devo c'hoazh sec'hed;
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, ro din an dour-se, evit na'm bo ken sec'hed, ha na zeuin ken da dennañ dour amañ.
"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."
16 Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Kae, galv da bried, ha deus amañ.
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Ar wreg a respontas: Ne'm eus pried ebet. Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Lavaret mat ec'h eus: Ne'm eus pried ebet;
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 rak pemp pried ac'h eus bet; hag an hini a zo ganit bremañ n'eo ket da bried; gwir ac'h eus lavaret e kement-se.
"for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that."
19 Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, gwelout a ran out ur profed.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Hon tadoù o deus azeulet war ar menez-mañ, ha c'hwi a lavar penaos al lec'h e pelec'h eo ret azeuliñ eo Jeruzalem.
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Gwreg, kred ac'hanon; an amzer a zeu ma n'azeulor ken an Tad na war ar menez-mañ nag e Jeruzalem.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 C'hwi a azeul ar pezh n'anavezit ket; evidomp-ni, ni a azeul ar pezh a anavezomp, rak ar silividigezh a zeu eus ar Yuzevien.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Met an eur a zeu, ha deuet eo dija, ma'c'h azeulo ar gwir azeulerien an Tad e spered hag e gwirionez, rak an Tad a c'houlenn ar seurt azeulerien-se.
But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.
24 Doue a zo Spered, hag eo ret d'ar re en azeul, e azeuliñ e spered hag e gwirionez.
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Gouzout a ran penaos ar Mesiaz, an hini a c'halver Krist, a dle dont; pa vo-eñ deuet, e tisklêrio deomp an holl draoù.
"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."
26 Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Me eo, me, an hini a gomz ouzhit.
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 War gement-se, e ziskibien a erruas, hag e oant souezhet dre ma komze gant ur wreg; koulskoude hini anezho ne lavaras dezhañ: Petra a c'houlennez? Pe, perak e komzez ganti?
Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Neuze ar wreg a lezas he fod-dour, a yeas e kêr, hag a lavaras d'an dud:
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 Deuit da welout un den en deus lavaret din kement am eus graet; ne vefe ket eñ ar C'hrist?
"Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
30 Mont a rejont eta eus kêr, hag ez ejont d'e gavout.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Koulskoude, e ziskibien a bede anezhañ, o lavarout: Mestr, debr.
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Met eñ a lavaras dezho: Me am eus da zebriñ ur boued n'anavezit ket.
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 An diskibien a lavare eta an eil d'egile: Unan bennak en defe degaset da zebriñ dezhañ?
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Va boued eo ober bolontez an hini en deus va c'haset, ha peurober e oberenn.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Ne lavarit ket ez eus c'hoazh pevar miz ac'han d'an eost? Setu, me a lavar deoc'h: Savit ho taoulagad, ha sellit ouzh ar maezioù a wenna dija evit an eost.
Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.
36 An hini a ved en deus ur gopr, hag a zastum frouezh evit ar vuhez peurbadus, evit m'en em laouenaio an hini a had ivez gant an hini a ved. (aiōnios g166)
The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Rak e kement-mañ eo gwir ar gomz-mañ: Unan all eo an hader, hag unan all eo ar meder.
For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
38 Me am eus ho kaset e-lec'h n'hoc'h eus ket labouret; reoù all o deus labouret, ha c'hwi a zo aet war o labour.
I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours."
39 Kalz eus Samaritaned ar gêr-se a gredas ennañ, abalamour da gomz ar wreg; roet he devoa an testeni-mañ: Lavaret en deus din kement am eus graet.
Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done."
40 Ar Samaritaned eta, o vezañ deuet d'e gavout, a bedas anezhañ da chom ganto; hag e chomas daou zevezh eno.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Hag un niver brasoc'h a gredas abalamour d'e gelennadurezh.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Hag e lavarent d'ar wreg: N'eo ket abalamour da'z lavar eo e kredomp, rak klevet hon eus anezhañ hon-unan, hag ec'h anavezomp penaos hemañ eo e gwirionez Salver ar bed[, ar C'hrist].
and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."
43 Daou zevezh goude, ez eas kuit ac'hano, evit mont e Galilea,
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 rak Jezuz e-unan en devoa disklêriet penaos ur profed n'eo ket enoret en e vro.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Pa oa erru e Galilea, e voe degemeret mat gant ar C'halileiz o devoa gwelet kement en devoa graet e Jeruzalem deiz ar gouel; rak int ivez a oa aet d'ar gouel.
When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
46 Jezuz a zeuas eta a-nevez da Gana e Galilea, e-lec'h m'en devoa graet gwin gant dour. Ha, bez' e oa e Kafarnaoum un Aotrou a di ar roue a oa klañv e vab.
So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
47 An den-mañ, o vezañ anavezet penaos Jezuz a oa deuet eus Judea da C'halilea, a yeas d'e gavout hag a bedas anezhañ da ziskenn evit yac'haat e vab, rak mont a rae da vervel.
Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Jezuz a lavaras: Ma ne welit ket a sinoù hag a virakloù, ne gredit ket.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 An Aotrou-mañ a di ar roue a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, diskenn, a-raok ma varvo va bugel.
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Jezuz a lavaras dezhañ: Kae, da vab a vev. An den-mañ a gredas ar pezh en devoa Jezuz lavaret dezhañ, hag a yeas kuit.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Evel ma tiskenne, e vevelien a zeuas a-raok dezhañ, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Da vab a vev.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Eñ a c'houlennas outo da bet eur e oa en em gavet gwelloc'h. Hag int a lavaras dezhañ: Dec'h d'ar seizhvet eur, an derzhienn a guitaas anezhañ.
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Hag an tad a anavezas e oa d'an eur-se en devoa Jezuz lavaret dezhañ: Da vab a vev; hag e kredas, eñ hag holl dud e di.
Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.
54 Jezuz a reas an eil mirakl-se en e zistro eus Judea da C'halilea.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
