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 the Lord learned that the Pharisees heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 Tedae Jesuh amah long ngawn moenih, a hnukbang rhoek long ni a nuem.
(although it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples),
3 Judea te pak a hlah tih Galilee la koep cet.
he left Judea and went away to Galilee.
4 Te vaengah Samaria te a hil phai ham a kuek.
But he had to pass 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 plot 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.
Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, wearied as he was from the journey, 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.
When a woman from Samaria came to draw water, 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 into the city 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.
So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that yoʋ, a Jew, ask for water to drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (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 her, “If yoʋ knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to yoʋ, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ yoʋ would have asked him, and he would have given yoʋ 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, yoʋ do not even have a bucket to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then can yoʋ get this 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.
Are yoʋ greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock?”
13 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “He kah tui aka o boeih tah koep hal ni.
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will thirst 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 will not get thirsty again and 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 yoʋr 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 said in response, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Yoʋ have rightly 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 yoʋ have had five husbands, and the man yoʋ now have is not yoʋr husband; what yoʋ 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 yoʋ are a prophet.
20 A pa rhoek loh hekah tlang ah bawk uh. Tedae nangmih long tah Jerusalem kah aka om hmuen ah te a bawk ham a kuek na ti uh,” a ti nah.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.”
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, “Woman, believe me, an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 Nangmih loh na bawk uh te na ming uh pawh. Kaimih tah ka bawk uh te ka minguh. Khangnah khaw Judah rhoek lamkah ni a om.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because 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.
But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such people 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 spirit, and those 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 Messiah is coming” (who is 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 who speak to yoʋ 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.
Just then his disciples came back, and they were amazed that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, “What do yoʋ want?” or, “Why are yoʋ speaking with her?”
28 Te dongah huta loh a amrhaeng te a toeng tih kho khuila cet.
Then the woman left her water jar, went into 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 I have ever done. Could this be the Christ?”
30 Te dongah khopuei lamloh cet uh tih amah te a paan uh.
So they left the town and began coming to him.
31 Te rhuet ah amah te hnukbang rhoek loh a dawt uh tih, “Rhabbi, ca laeh saw,” a ti nauh.
In the meantime the disciples were urging him, “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 one another, “Could someone have brought him something 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 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 still four months and then comes the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and see that the fields 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 reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps 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 true saying is verified: ‘One sows and another reaps.’
38 Kai loh cangat la nangmih kan tueih te na thakthae moenih, a tloe rhoek tah thakthaeuh. Te dongah amih kah thakthaenah khuiah na kun uh coeng,” a ti nah.
I sent you to reap what you have not labored for; others have labored, 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 from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman's testimony: “He told me everything I have ever 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 for two days.
41 Te vaengah a ol aka tangnah khaw taoe yet.
And 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 nauh.
So they said to the woman, “It is no longer because of yoʋr report that we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
43 Hnin nit phoeiah te lamloh Galilee la cet.
After two days, he departed from there and went to Galilee.
44 Tonghma loh amah tolrhum ah hinyahnah a dang pawt te khaw Jesuh amah loh a phong coeng.
(For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.)
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 to Galilee, the Galileans received him because they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also had gone to 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.
Once more Jesus went to Cana of Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in 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 had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for his son 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.
Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will certainly not believe.”
49 Rhalboei loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, ka capa te a duek hlan ah ha suntla dae,” a ti nah.
The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my boy 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; yoʋr son will live.” And the man believed what Jesus said to him and went on 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 pauh.
As he was going back down to his house, his servants met him and told him, “Yoʋr son is alive.”
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 nauh.
So he asked them the hour when he began to get better. They said 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 this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Yoʋr son will live.” So he believed, along with his entire household.
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 after coming from Judea to Galilee.
