< Yohana 4 >

1 yesu toh ndi farisawa ba wo andi almasenanma ba ye ni barbran wa ni tie batsima nizan Yahaya
When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 lana yesu ni tie tuma nitie batisma na ahi almajeran mu ba sita tie batisma
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, )
3 a ka yahudiya don na kma hi ni galili
He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 wa ahi gbigbi niwu ni ndu lu zu niko samariya
And he must essentially go through Samaria.
5 aye ni mi gbu samariya wa ba yo ni sika fwe nhan ni bubu wa yakubu a no ivren ma yusufu
Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 juju ma u ykuba a he niki yesu zren nhla za na ye kuson ni yue juju a karfi wolon don hari u rji
Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 iwari u sa mariya aye funma se yesu hla niwu ne ma miso
There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says unto her, Give me to drink.
8 u almajeran ma ba lu ri hi ni migbu ni he leh biri
(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.)
9 iwa u samariya niyen a ni he iwu ba yahude u miyen ma ima uso ime wa mi vren wa u mariyg? nitu yahudawa bana kabi ni samariya wana
Then says the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 yesu sa niwu una tohno miyen u rji ni indi wa a si tre ne ma uso una bre ni ndu no uima u tviri
Jesus answered and said unto her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
11 iwa hla niwu mallam ga u na he ni guga u juju a naman yue grji hi kogbo ani tsen u fe ima u viri?
The woman says unto him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then have you that living water?
12 u na zari itie mbu yakubu na ka wu zari wawu wa ano la juju a wa wawume a so ni mina ni mire ma ni lado ma?
Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 yesu hla niwu du indi iwa aso ni mi ma ki nhlan ma ni la yi u
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
14 indi wa ani so ima wa mi no nhlan ma na la tieu na ni siran kima lma wa mino a ani ka tie izin ma ni mi ma iwa ani ta gubon ta hi ni viri ma u kase se kase se (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 iwa hla niwu mallam ne ima mba wa nhlan ma na la tie me na u mi na la ye niwayi ndi tan ma na
The woman says unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
16 yesu hla niwu hi yo ilon me di biye biwa
Jesus says unto her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
17 iwa hla niwu mi na he ni lilon na
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, You have well said, I have no husband:
18 nitu wa u gran lilon tie ton iwa uhe niwu zizan ana lon mena ikpe wawu tre a a njanji
For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
19 iwa tre ndi mallam mi toh u annabi
The woman says unto him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 ba tie mbu ba ta tre ni rji ni tugbulu yi u bi tre urushali ma yi a bubu wa indi ba tre ni rjiia
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and all of you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 yesu hla niwu iwa kpayenme ni me ni suron me ndi bi na la tre ni rji ko ni tu gbulu ko ni uri shalima na
Jesus says unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when all of you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 bi si yi sujada ni ndi wa ki tohua kpa chuwo a he ni yahuda wayi
All of you worship all of you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 mitoh iton niye natsara wandi bi hu rji ujanji ba tre ni tre mbu ni mi ruhu ni njanji ni tu indi bibi kima irji ni wa ba ni ndu ba tre niwu
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit (pneuma) and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
24 irji a hi ruhu indi wa ani tre niwu a hi gbigbi ni ndu ba tre ni mi ruhu ni njanji
God is a Spirit: (pneuma) and they that worship him must worship him in spirit (pneuma) and in truth.
25 iwa hla niwu mi toh Almasihu ni ye ani taye ani hla koge ni tawu
The woman says unto him, I know that Messiah comes, which is called Christ: when he has come, he will tell us all things.
26 yesu hla niwu imeyi mi wawu iwa ndi asi tre ni u
Jesus says unto her, I that speak unto you am he.
27 ni mi ton ki almajeran ma ba kbanye u ba kban ni tie sisir ikpe wa yo ani tre ni wa u iri mba a miyen u son geri? ka ahigeri yo u si tre niwu?
And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
28 iwa kagbazima don na he ni mi gbu na hla ni indiba
The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and says to the men,
29 ye toh iguri iwa a hla koge wa mi tiea ana wa wuyi almasihu na ka ani nha
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 ba lu bri ni gbu a da hi niwu
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 ni ton kima almajerana ma luni bre wu andi mallam rhi
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 i wa hla ni bawu andi mi he biri iwa bina toh kpe ri ni tumana
But he said unto them, I have food to eat that all of you know not of.
33 almajeran ba tre ni kpa mba ko idioiri me nji niwuna ka idioiri nji ye?
Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him ought to eat?
34 yesu hla bawa biri mu a hi ndi mi tie ikpe wandi wa la ton me ye ni du me kle ndu ma
Jesus says unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 nda bi tre dia don iwuya nzah ni du ba yi gri bi? mi hla niyiwu ni woloshi bi ya irjuba ba makan u chan
Say not all of you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 indi wa asi chan ani kpa die na shu biri u rju kabi na nji hi viri utuntur ni naki indi u chu ni indi chan ba gir ha mba (aiōnios g166)
And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit unto life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 nitre yi iri ni chu batre di iri ni chan ajanji
And herein is that saying (logos) true, One sows, and another reaps.
38 i me ton u ndu u hi chan ikpe iwa wu na tie ndu ma na a bari mu ba tieye u luri ni mi ndu mba
I sent you to reap that whereon all of you bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and all of you are entered into their labours.
39 igra samariyawa ba he ni gbu a ba kpayemen niwu niyu kpe wa iwa a tre ni tuma a a hla kle pyen pyenme ikpei waatatia
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying (logos) of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 u samariyawa ba ye niwu na bre ni ndu ye son niba waye son niba tic vi hari
So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 gbugbumba ba kanhan hi biwa ba kpanyme nitu lantre ma
And many more believed because of his own word; (logos)
42 ba tre ni iwa ndi kpanyme mbu ana nitu kpewa wu hla na a nitu wa kita kikimbu ki wowu nito ndi janji iwayi yi u kpa gbungbl chuwo
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 niwa vi ha baki baka hi a rhu don bubuki nda ku nko Galilee
Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 yesu kima ana bla ndi bana ya anabi ni nfutu ni gbumeme ma na
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 niwa aka ri nimi Galilee bi Galilee bu ba kpaa ni woha bana to wawu kpi wa ana ti ni igan u urushelima nitu baba me bana hi ni igan a
Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 zizan ala ye ni cana bubu wa a kma ma ti ihia kikle nikon ri u bi tu chu wandi ivren ma ana kru lo kpa
So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 ni wo ndi yesu ye wruwru ni judiya rhini Galilee a hini yesu nda ka myeu du huu grji hi nda hi chulilo rhu ni vren ma wa ana ti weweire u kwu
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 mle yesu a kri tre niwu ndi hama bi to kpe u chu tsro nda nu sisri bina kpanyme na
Then said Jesus unto him, Except all of you see signs and wonders, all of you will not believe.
49 ninkon gua a hla wu ndi mi niu ninkon me grjiye ri du vren mu kwu
The nobleman says unto him, Sir, come down before my child die.
50 yesu a lhawu ndi hi vren me he ni sisren tgua a kpanyme ni lantre wa yesu a tre niwu nda hi kpama
Jesus says unto him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word (logos) that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 niwa a sia grji hia mriko nduma ba zontu niwu nda ni hla ndi vren ma he ni sisren ma
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives.
52 niki a mye ba nton wa ikpa a lu si sia ba sa wu lanren ni nton u tangban lilo kpa a akawu chuwo
Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 nikima itia a tika ndi ana ni nton kimayi yesu a tre ni wu ndi vrenme he ni sisren niki wawu nikima mba wawu bikoma ba kpanyme
So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 iwayi ana kpe itsro u ha wa yesu a ti niwa aye ni Judiya rhini Galilee
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
