Yohane 4
1 Yesu atazindikira kuti Afarisi amva zoti Iye ankapeza ndi kubatiza ophunzira ambiri kupambana Yohane,
When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (ngakhale kuti Yesuyo sankabatiza, koma ophunzira ake).
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, )
3 Iye anachoka ku Yudeya ndi kubwereranso ku Galileya.
He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Ndipo Iye anayenera kudutsa mu Samariya.
And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Iye anafika mʼmudzi wa Asamariya wotchedwa Sukari, pafupi ndi malo amene Yakobo anapatsa mwana wake Yosefe.
Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground 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.
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 Mayi wa Chisamariya atabwera kudzatunga madzi, Yesu anati kwa iye, “Kodi ungandipatse madzi akumwa.”
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (Ophunzira ake nʼkuti atapita mʼmudzi kukagula chakudya).
(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Mayiyo anati kwa Iye, “Inu ndinu Myuda ndipo ine ndine Msamariya. Bwanji mukundipempha madzi akumwa?” (Popeza Ayuda ndi Asamariya sankayanjana).
Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the 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 unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of 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 saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Kodi Inu ndinu wamkulu kuposa kholo lathu Yakobo, amene anatipatsa chitsimechi ndipo iye ankamwanso monga anachita ana ake ndi ziweto zake?”
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Aliyense amene amamwa madzi awa amamvanso ludzu,
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
15 Mayiyo anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye, patseni madzi amenewo kuti ndisadzamvenso ludzu ndi kumabwerabe kuno kudzatunga madzi.”
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Iye anamuwuza kuti, “Pita kayitane mwamuna wako ndipo ubwere naye.”
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Iye anayankha kuti, “Ine ndilibe mwamuna.” Yesu anati kwa iye, “Wakhoza ponena kuti ulibe mwamuna.
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, 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 hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19 Mayiyo anati, “Ambuye, ine ndazindikira kuti Inu ndinu mneneri.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Makolo athu ankapembedza mʼphiri ili koma inu Ayuda mumati malo amene tiyenera kupembedzera ali ku Yerusalemu.”
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Yesu anati, “Mayi inu khulupirira Ine. Nthawi ikubwera pamene inu simudzapembedza Atate mʼphiri ili kapena mu Yerusalemu.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Inu Asamariya mumapembedza chimene simukuchidziwa. Ife timapembedza chimene tikuchidziwa, pakuti chipulumutso nʼchochokera kwa Ayuda.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of 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 the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 Mulungu ndi Mzimu, ndipo omupembedza Iye ayenera kumupembedza mu mzimu ndi mʼchoonadi.”
God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
25 Mayiyo anati, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti Mesiya (wotchedwa Khristu) akubwera. Akabwera, Iye adzafotokoza zonse kwa ife.”
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Ndipo Yesu anamuwuza kuti, “Amene ndikukuyankhulane, ndine amene.”
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he.]
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 came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 Kenaka mayiyo anasiya mtsuko wamadzi, nabwerera ku mzinda ndipo anati kwa anthu,
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 “Tiyeni mukaone munthu amene wandiwuza ine zilizonse zimene ndinazichita. Kodi ameneyu sangakhale Khristu?”
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Iwo anatuluka mʼmudziwo ndi kupita kumene kunali Iye.
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 Pa nthawi imeneyi ndi kuti ophunzira ake akumukakamiza kuti, “Rabi idyani.”
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 Koma Iye anawawuza kuti, “Ine ndili ndi chakudya choti ndidye chimene inu simukuchidziwa.”
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Ndipo ophunzira ake anafunsana wina ndi mnzake kuti, “Kodi alipo wina amene anamubweretsera Iye chakudya?”
Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [ought] to eat?
34 Yesu anati, “Chakudya changa ndikuchita chifuniro cha Iye amene anandituma Ine ndi kumaliza ntchito yake.
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to 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.
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to 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 that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Nʼchifukwa chake mawu akuti, ‘Wina amafesa ndipo wina amakolola’ ndi woona.
And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 Ine ndinakutumani kukakolola zimene simunagwirire ntchito. Ena anagwira ntchito yolemetsa ndipo inu mwatuta phindu la ntchito yawo.”
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
39 Asamariya ambiri ochokera mʼmudziwo anakhulupirira Iye chifukwa cha umboni wa mayiyo wakuti, “Iye anandiwuza ine zonse ndinazichita.”
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 Choncho Asamariya atabwera kwa Iye, anamuwumiriza Iye kuti akhale nawo, ndipo Iye anakhala nawo masiku awiri.
So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 Ndipo chifukwa cha mawu ake, ena ambiri anakhulupirira.
And many more believed because of his own 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 said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard [him] ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 Patatha masiku awiri Iye anachoka napita ku Galileya.
Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 (Tsopano Yesu mwini ananena kale kuti mneneri salandira ulemu mʼdziko lake).
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Iye atafika ku Galileya, Agalileya anamulandira. Iwo anali ataona zonse zimene anazichita mu Yerusalemu pa phwando la Paska, pakuti iwonso anali komweko.
Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto 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.
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 Munthu uyu atamva kuti Yesu wafika ku Galileya kuchokera ku Yudeya, anapita kwa Iye, namupempha kuti apite akachiritse mwana wakeyo, amene anali pafupi kufa.
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa 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 Yesu anawawuza iwo kuti, “Anthu inu pokhapokha mutaona zizindikiro zodabwitsa, simudzakhulupirira.”
Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 Nduna ya mfumuyo inati, “Ambuye tiyeni mwana wanga asanafe.”
The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Pita. Mwana wako adzakhala ndi moyo.” Munthuyo anakhulupirira mawu a Yesu ndipo ananyamuka.
Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 Iye ali pa njira, antchito ake anakumana naye, namuwuza kuti mwana wanu uja wachira.
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told [him], saying, Thy son liveth.
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.”
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 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 the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 Ichi ndiye chinali chizindikiro chodabwitsa chachiwiri chimene Yesu anachita atafika ku Galileya kuchokera ku Yudeya.
This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee.
