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.
Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 Tedae Jesuh amah long ngawn moenih, a hnukbang rhoek long ni a nuem.
(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
3 Judea te pak a hlah tih Galilee la koep cet.
he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.
4 Te vaengah Samaria te a hil phai ham a kuek.
But it was necessary for him to 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.
So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Teah te Jakob tuisih om. Te vaengah Jesuh tah yincaehnah lamloh thakthae tih tuisih taengah ngol.
The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. 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.
A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
8 Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek tah kho khuiah caak lai hamla cet uh.
For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
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 the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, are asking me, being a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?” For Jews have no dealings with 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 to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you 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 said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket and the well is deep. Where then do you have the 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.
You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his cattle?”
13 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “He kah tui aka o boeih tah koep hal ni.
Jesus replied and said to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again,
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 said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I may not become thirsty and not have to come here to draw water.”
16 Amah te, “Cet, na va te khue lamtah hela ha lo,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back here.”
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 to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus replied, “You are right in saying, '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 you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
19 Huta loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, nang tah tonghma ni tila kan hmat coeng.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are 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 worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have 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 said to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
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.
You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from 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.
However, the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.
24 Pathen tah Mueihla ni. Te dongah amah aka bawk loh mueihla neh oltak ah bawk ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
God is Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and 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 said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming (the one called Christ). When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Jesuh loh anih te, “Te tah nang taengah aka cal kamah ni,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one speaking to you.”
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.
At that moment his disciples returned. Now they were wondering why he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are you speaking with her?”
28 Te dongah huta loh a amrhaeng te a toeng tih kho khuila cet.
So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,
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 who told me everything that I have ever done. This could not be the Christ, could it?”
30 Te dongah khopuei lamloh cet uh tih amah te a paan uh.
They left the town and came to him.
31 Te rhuet ah amah te hnukbang rhoek loh a dawt uh tih, “Rhabbi, ca laeh saw,” a ti na uh.
In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Tedae amih te, “Kai loh caak ham caak ka khueh te na ming uh moenih,” a ti nah.
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
33 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amamih te, “Khat khat loh a caak koi khuen pah pawtnim,” a ti uh.
So the disciples said to each other, “No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?”
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 said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete 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.
Do you not say, 'There are four more months and then the harvest comes'? I am saying to you, look up and see the fields, for they are already ripe for 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)
He who is harvesting receives wages and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that he who sows and he who harvests 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.
For in this the saying, 'One sows, and another harvests,' is true.
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 harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have entered into their labor.”
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.
Many of the Samaritans in that city believed in him because of the report of the woman who was testifying, “He told me everything that I have done.”
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 came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
41 Te vaengah a ol aka tangnah khaw taoe yet.
Many more believed because of his 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.
They said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is indeed the savior of the world.”
43 Hnin nit phoeiah te lamloh Galilee la cet.
After those two days, he departed from there for Galilee.
44 Tonghma loh amah tolrhum ah hinyahnah a dang pawt te khaw Jesuh amah loh a phong coeng.
For Jesus himself declared that a prophet has no honor 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.
When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the festival, for they had also gone to the festival.
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.
Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. There was a certain royal official whose son in Capernaum was ill.
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 had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
48 Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te, “Miknoek neh khobae rhambae na hmuh uh pawt atah na tangnah uh tlaih pawh,” a ti nah.
Jesus then said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 Rhalboei loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, ka capa te a duek hlan ah ha suntla dae,” a ti nah.
The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
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 said to him, “Go. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went away.
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.
While he was going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
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.
So he asked them the hour when he began to improve. They replied to 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.
Then the father realized that it was at that hour that Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” So he himself and his whole household believed.
54 He he Judea lamkah loh Galilee la ha pawk vaengah Jesuh loh koep a saii a miknoek pabae ni.
This was the second sign that Jesus did when he came out of Judea to Galilee.
