< Johan 4 >

1 Jesuh loh Johan lakah hnukbang muep a khueh tih a nuem te Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh tila Jesuh loh a ming.
When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 Tedae Jesuh amah long ngawn moenih, a hnukbang rhoek long ni a nuem.
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, )
3 Judea te pak a hlah tih Galilee la koep cet.
He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Te vaengah Samaria te a hil phai ham a kuek.
And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Te dongah Sychar la a khue Samaria kho puei kah Jakob loh a capa Joseph a paek khohmuen taeng te a pha.
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 Teah te Jakob tuisih om. Te vaengah Jesuh tah yincaehnah lamloh thakthae tih tuisih taengah ngol.
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 Khonoek parhuk tluk a lo vaengah Samaria nu tah tui than la ha pawk. Anih te Jesuh loh, “Ok ham kai m'pae lah,” a ti nah.
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek tah kho khuiah caak lai hamla cet uh.
(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Te dongah amah te Samaria nu loh, “Nang tah Judah hlang la aka om loh balae tih Samaria nu la aka om kai taengah ok ham te nan bih,” a ti nah. [Judah rhoek neh Samaria rhoek he a doca uh moenih].
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 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Pathen kah kutdoe neh nang taengah aka cal te unim tila na ming koinih amah taengah ok ham kai pae lah, ‘tila na bih sui tih tui hing nang m'paek suidae,” a ti nah.
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 Huta loh anih te, “Saya, tuiduen khaw na khueh pawh, tuito khaw a dung la om. Melam kah tui hing nim, na khueh tih?
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 A pa Jakob lakah tanglue la na om pawtnim? Tuito he amah loh kaimih m'paek tih he lamkah te amah long khaw, a ca rhoek neh a saelhung long khaw a ok,” a ti nah.
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “He kah tui aka o boeih tah koep hal ni.
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 Tedae kai loh ka paek ham tui te aka o tah kumhal ah hal tlaih mahpawh. Te phoeiah anih ka paek ham tui te tah dungyan hingnah ham anih ah aka phuet tuisih tui la om ni,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
But whosoever drinketh 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 Amah te huta loh, “Saya, te tui te kai m'pae lah. Te daengah ni tui ka hal pawt vetih tuithan la ka pawk pawt eh,” a ti nah.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Amah te, “Cet, na va te khue lamtah hela ha lo,” a ti nah.
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Huta loh a doo tih, “Va ka khueh moenih,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh anih te, “Va ka khueh pawh balh na ti.
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 Va panga na khueh coeng dae tahae kah na khueh te na va la a om moenih, oltak te thui saw,” a ti nah.
For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19 Huta loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, nang tah tonghma ni tila kan hmat coeng.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 A pa rhoek loh hekah tlang ah a bawk uh. Tedae nangmih long tah Jerusalem kah aka om hmuen ah te bawk ham a kuek na ti uh,” a ti nah.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesuh loh anih te, “Huta aw, kai he n'tangnah lah. Tekah a tue ha pawk vaengah hekah tlang pawt ah khaw, Jerusalem pawt ah khaw pa te na bawk uh bitni.
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 Nangmih loh na bawk uh te na ming uh pawh. Kaimih tah ka bawk uh te ka ming uh. Khangnah khaw Judah rhoek lamkah ni a om.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 Tedae a tue ha pai tih om coeng. Bawkkung taktak rhoek long tah pa te Mueihla neh oltak dongah a bawk uh ni. Amah aka bawk rhoek van te ni pa loh a toem.
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 Pathen tah Mueihla ni. Te dongah amah aka bawk loh mueihla neh oltak ah bawk ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
25 Amah te huta loh, “Khrih la a khue Messiah te ha pawk tila ka ming. Te te ha pawk vaengah soeprhaep boeih te kaimih taengah ha puen ni,” a ti nah.
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 Jesuh loh anih te, “Te tah nang taengah aka cal kamah ni,” a ti nah.
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he.]
27 Te vaengah te a hnukbang rhoek te ha pawk uh tih huta taengah a cal te a ngaihmang uh. Tedae, “Balae na toem tih balae tih anih te na voek?” ti na uh pawh.
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 Te dongah huta loh a amrhaeng te a toeng tih kho khuila cet.
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Te phoeiah a hlang rhoek te, “Halo uh lah, ka saii boeih aka thui hlang te so uh lah. Anih tah Khrih la om pawtnim?” a ti nah.
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Te dongah khopuei lamloh cet uh tih amah te a paan uh.
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 Te rhuet ah amah te hnukbang rhoek loh a dawt uh tih, “Rhabbi, ca laeh saw,” a ti na uh.
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 Tedae amih te, “Kai loh caak ham caak ka khueh te na ming uh moenih,” a ti nah.
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amamih te, “Khat khat loh a caak koi khuen pah pawtnim,” a ti uh.
Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [ought] to eat?
34 Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai aka tueih kah kongaih saii ham neh amah kah bibi coeng ham te kai kah cakok la om.
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Nangmih loh, ‘Cangah pha ham hlali om pueng tila na ti uh moenih a? Nangmih taengah ka thui, na mik te dai uh lamtah dan uh, hmuenlung te cangaeng neh cangah ham om coeng ke.
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 Aka at loh thapang a dang tih dungyan hingnah dongah cangthaih a coi coeng. Te daengah ni aka tuh neh aka at loh thikat la a omngaih eh. (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 Hekah ol tah oltak pai ni. Aka tuh khaw a tloe, aka at khaw a tloe la om pai.
And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 Kai loh cangat la nangmih kan tueih te na thakthae moenih, a tloe rhoek tah thakthae uh. Te dongah amih kah thakthaenah khuiah na kun uh coeng,” a ti nah.
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
39 Huta loh, “Ka saii boeih te kamah taengah a thui coeng,” tila ol a phong. Te dongah kho khui lamkah Samaria rhoek loh Jesuh te muep a tangnah uh.
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 Te dongah Samaria rhoek loh amah taengla a pawk uh vaengah amah te amih taengah rhaeh sak ham a bih uh dongah hnin nit pahoi rhaeh.
So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 Te vaengah a ol aka tangnah khaw taoe yet.
And many more believed because of his own word;
42 Te phoeiah huta te, “Na olcal dongah ka tangnah uh pawt dae kaimih loh ka yaak uh daengah ni he tah diklai kah khangkung la om tangtang tila ka ming uh,” a ti na uh.
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 Hnin nit phoeiah te lamloh Galilee la cet.
Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 Tonghma loh amah tolrhum ah hinyahnah a dang pawt te khaw Jesuh amah loh a phong coeng.
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Khotue vaengkah Jerusalem ah a saii boeih te a hmuh uh. Amih khaw khotue te a paan uh. Te dongah Galilee la ha pawk vaengah tah Galilee rhoek loh amah a doe uh.
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 Te dongah Galilee kah Kana la koep pawk. Te ah ni tui khaw misurtui la a saii. Te vaengah Kapernaum ah capa aka tlo rhalboei pakhat te ana om.
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 Judea lamloh Galilee la Jesuh a pawk te anih loh a yaak vaengah a taeng la cet tih, “Duek hamla aka om a capa te hoeih sak ham ha suntla dae,” tila a bih.
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 Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te, “Miknoek neh khobae rhambae na hmuh uh pawt atah na tangnah uh tlaih pawh,” a ti nah.
Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 Rhalboei loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, ka capa te a duek hlan ah ha suntla dae,” a ti nah.
The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesuh loh anih te, “Cet laeh, na capa te hing coeng,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh anih taengah a thui olka te a tangnah dongah tekah hlang khaw cet.
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 A suntlak neh anih te a sal rhoek loh oepsoeh la a doe uh tih a capa a hing pah te a thui pa uh.
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told [him], saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Te dongah a then la a om nah a tue te amih taengah a cae. Te vaengah, “Hlaem khonoek parhih vaengah a satloh loh a hlah,” a ti na uh.
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 Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te, “Na capa te hing coeng,” a ti nah vaeng kah a tue te te vaeng ah ni tila ana pa loh a ming dongah amah neh a im pum loh a tangnah uh.
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 He he Judea lamkah loh Galilee la ha pawk vaengah Jesuh loh koep a saii a miknoek pabae ni.
This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee.
