Yohane 4
1 Yesu atazindikira kuti Afarisi amva zoti Iye ankapeza ndi kubatiza ophunzira ambiri kupambana Yohane,
When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John
2 (ngakhale kuti Yesuyo sankabatiza, koma ophunzira ake).
(although Jesus himself did not immerse, but his disciples),
3 Iye anachoka ku Yudeya ndi kubwereranso ku Galileya.
he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
4 Ndipo Iye anayenera kudutsa mu Samariya.
And it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.
5 Iye anafika mʼmudzi wa Asamariya wotchedwa Sukari, pafupi ndi malo amene Yakobo anapatsa mwana wake Yosefe.
So he comes to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Chitsime cha Yakobo chinali pamenepo ndipo Yesu atatopa ndi ulendo anakhala pansi pambali pa chitsimecho. Nthawi inali pafupifupi ora lachisanu ndi chimodzi masana.
And Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied from the journey, thus was sitting on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Mayi wa Chisamariya atabwera kudzatunga madzi, Yesu anati kwa iye, “Kodi ungandipatse madzi akumwa.”
A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
8 (Ophunzira ake nʼkuti atapita mʼmudzi kukagula chakudya).
For his disciples had gone away into the city so that they might buy food.
9 Mayiyo anati kwa Iye, “Inu ndinu Myuda ndipo ine ndine Msamariya. Bwanji mukundipempha madzi akumwa?” (Popeza Ayuda ndi Asamariya sankayanjana).
The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How do thou, being Jewish, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman, for Jews do not associate with Samaritans?
10 Yesu anamuyankha kuti, “Koma iwe ukanadziwa mphatso ya Mulungu ndi Iye amene akukupempha madzi akumwa, ukanamupempha ndipo akanakupatsa madzi amoyo.”
Jesus answered and said to her, If thou had known the gift of God, and who it is who says to thee, Give me to drink, thou would have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 Mayiyo anati, “Ambuye, Inu mulibe kanthu kotungira madzi ndipo chitsime ndi chakuya. Kodi madzi amoyowo mungawatenge kuti?
The woman says to him, Sir, thou have not even a container, and the well is deep. From where then have thou the living water?
12 Kodi Inu ndinu wamkulu kuposa kholo lathu Yakobo, amene anatipatsa chitsimechi ndipo iye ankamwanso monga anachita ana ake ndi ziweto zake?”
Are thou greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his livestock?
13 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Aliyense amene amamwa madzi awa amamvanso ludzu,
Jesus answered and said to her, Every man who drinks of this water will thirst again,
15 Mayiyo anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye, patseni madzi amenewo kuti ndisadzamvenso ludzu ndi kumabwerabe kuno kudzatunga madzi.”
The woman says to him, Give me this water, sir, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw out.
16 Iye anamuwuza kuti, “Pita kayitane mwamuna wako ndipo ubwere naye.”
Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
17 Iye anayankha kuti, “Ine ndilibe mwamuna.” Yesu anati kwa iye, “Wakhoza ponena kuti ulibe mwamuna.
The woman answered and said to him, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Thou said correctly, I have no husband.
18 Zoona nʼzakuti iwe wakhala pa banja ndi amuna asanu, ndipo mwamuna amene uli naye tsopano si wako. Zimene wanenazi ndi zoona.”
For thou have had five husbands, and he whom thou now have is not thy husband. This thou have said true.
19 Mayiyo anati, “Ambuye, ine ndazindikira kuti Inu ndinu mneneri.
The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that thou are a prophet.
20 Makolo athu ankapembedza mʼphiri ili koma inu Ayuda mumati malo amene tiyenera kupembedzera ali ku Yerusalemu.”
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.
21 Yesu anati, “Mayi inu khulupirira Ine. Nthawi ikubwera pamene inu simudzapembedza Atate mʼphiri ili kapena mu Yerusalemu.
Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour is coming when neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem will ye worship the Father.
22 Inu Asamariya mumapembedza chimene simukuchidziwa. Ife timapembedza chimene tikuchidziwa, pakuti chipulumutso nʼchochokera kwa Ayuda.
Ye worship what ye do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
23 Koma nthawi ikubwera ndipo yafika kale tsopano pamene opembedza woona adzapembedza Atate mu mzimu ndi mʼchoonadi, pakuti opembedza otere ndiwo amene Atate akuwafuna.
But an hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for also the Father seeks such kind who worship him.
24 Mulungu ndi Mzimu, ndipo omupembedza Iye ayenera kumupembedza mu mzimu ndi mʼchoonadi.”
God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
25 Mayiyo anati, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti Mesiya (wotchedwa Khristu) akubwera. Akabwera, Iye adzafotokoza zonse kwa ife.”
The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When that man comes he will declare all things to us.
26 Ndipo Yesu anamuwuza kuti, “Amene ndikukuyankhulane, ndine amene.”
Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am the man.
27 Pa nthawi yomweyo ophunzira ake anabwerera ndipo anadabwa kupeza Iye akuyankhula ndi mayi. Koma palibe amene anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi mukufuna chiyani?” kapena, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukuyankhula naye?”
And upon this his disciples came. And they marveled that he spoke with the woman, yet no man said, What seek thou? or, Why do thou speak with her?
28 Kenaka mayiyo anasiya mtsuko wamadzi, nabwerera ku mzinda ndipo anati kwa anthu,
The woman therefore left her water pot, and departed into the city, and says to the men,
29 “Tiyeni mukaone munthu amene wandiwuza ine zilizonse zimene ndinazichita. Kodi ameneyu sangakhale Khristu?”
Come, see a man who told me all, as many things as I did. Is not this the Christ?
30 Iwo anatuluka mʼmudziwo ndi kupita kumene kunali Iye.
They went out of the city, and came to him.
31 Pa nthawi imeneyi ndi kuti ophunzira ake akumukakamiza kuti, “Rabi idyani.”
In the meanwhile the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
32 Koma Iye anawawuza kuti, “Ine ndili ndi chakudya choti ndidye chimene inu simukuchidziwa.”
But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not.
33 Ndipo ophunzira ake anafunsana wina ndi mnzake kuti, “Kodi alipo wina amene anamubweretsera Iye chakudya?”
The disciples therefore said to each other, Did any man bring him to eat?
34 Yesu anati, “Chakudya changa ndikuchita chifuniro cha Iye amene anandituma Ine ndi kumaliza ntchito yake.
Jesus says to them, My food is that I do the will of him who sent me, and may finish his work.
35 Kodi inu simunena kuti, ‘Kwatsala miyezi inayi ndipo kenaka kukolola?’ Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti, tsekulani maso anu ndipo muyangʼane mʼminda! Mbewu zacha kale kuti zikololedwe.
Do ye not say, There are still four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are already white for harvest.
36 Ngakhale tsopano amene akukolola akulandira malipiro ake, ndipo akututa mbewu ku moyo wosatha kuti wofesa ndi wokolola asangalale pamodzi. (aiōnios g166)
And he who reaps receives a wage and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Nʼchifukwa chake mawu akuti, ‘Wina amafesa ndipo wina amakolola’ ndi woona.
For in this the saying is true, One is who sows, and another who reaps.
38 Ine ndinakutumani kukakolola zimene simunagwirire ntchito. Ena anagwira ntchito yolemetsa ndipo inu mwatuta phindu la ntchito yawo.”
I sent you to reap what ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.
39 Asamariya ambiri ochokera mʼmudziwo anakhulupirira Iye chifukwa cha umboni wa mayiyo wakuti, “Iye anandiwuza ine zonse ndinazichita.”
And many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all, as many things as I did.
40 Choncho Asamariya atabwera kwa Iye, anamuwumiriza Iye kuti akhale nawo, ndipo Iye anakhala nawo masiku awiri.
So when the Samaritans came to him they asked him to remain with them, and he remained there two days.
41 Ndipo chifukwa cha mawu ake, ena ambiri anakhulupirira.
And many more believed because of his word.
42 Iwo anati kwa mayiyo, “Ife sitikukhulupirira chifukwa cha mawu ako okha, koma tsopano ife tadzimvera tokha, ndipo tikudziwa kuti munthu uyu ndithu ndi Mpulumutsi wa dziko lapansi.”
And they said to the woman, We no longer believe because of thy speaking, for we have heard ourselves, and know that this really is the Savior of the world, the Christ.
43 Patatha masiku awiri Iye anachoka napita ku Galileya.
And after the two days he departed from there and went into Galilee.
44 (Tsopano Yesu mwini ananena kale kuti mneneri salandira ulemu mʼdziko lake).
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own fatherland.
45 Iye atafika ku Galileya, Agalileya anamulandira. Iwo anali ataona zonse zimene anazichita mu Yerusalemu pa phwando la Paska, pakuti iwonso anali komweko.
So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
46 Iye anakafikanso ku Kana wa ku Galileya, kumene anasanduliza madzi kukhala vinyo. Ndipo kumeneko kunali nduna ina ya mfumu imene mwana wake wamwamuna anali chigonere akudwala ku Kaperenawo.
Jesus therefore came again to Cana of Galilee where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Munthu uyu atamva kuti Yesu wafika ku Galileya kuchokera ku Yudeya, anapita kwa Iye, namupempha kuti apite akachiritse mwana wakeyo, amene anali pafupi kufa.
This man having heard that Jesus comes out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was going to die.
48 Yesu anawawuza iwo kuti, “Anthu inu pokhapokha mutaona zizindikiro zodabwitsa, simudzakhulupirira.”
Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye may see signs and wonders, ye will, no, not believe.
49 Nduna ya mfumuyo inati, “Ambuye tiyeni mwana wanga asanafe.”
The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
50 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Pita. Mwana wako adzakhala ndi moyo.” Munthuyo anakhulupirira mawu a Yesu ndipo ananyamuka.
Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and he departed.
51 Iye ali pa njira, antchito ake anakumana naye, namuwuza kuti mwana wanu uja wachira.
And as he was now going down, his bondmen met him and reported, saying, Thy boy lives.
52 Iye atafunsa kuti ndi nthawi yanji imene mwana wake anapeza bwino, iwo anati kwa iye, “Malungo anamusiya iye dzulo pa ora lachisanu ndi chiwiri.”
So he inquired of them the hour in which he fared well. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Ndipo bamboyo anazindikira kuti iyi inali nthawi yomweyo imene Yesu anati kwa iye, “Mwana wako adzakhala ndi moyo.” Choncho iye ndi onse a pa banja lake anakhulupirira.
So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives. And he himself believed and his whole house.
54 Ichi ndiye chinali chizindikiro chodabwitsa chachiwiri chimene Yesu anachita atafika ku Galileya kuchokera ku Yudeya.
This again is a second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
