Johan 4
1 Jesu ing Johan anglakawh hubat khawzah khqoet hu nawh baptisma awm khawzah pehy tice Farasikhqi ing za uhy,
Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
2 Jesu amah ingtaw baptisma ce am pehy, a hubatkhqi ing ni ami peek hy.
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Bawipa ing ce ce a sim awh, Judah ce cehta nawh Kalili na cet tlaih hy.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Cawh Samari qam awhkawng ceh aham ce awm hy.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Cedawngawh Jakob ing a capa Joseph a venawh a peek lo a venawh ak awm, Sikar ak mingnaak Samari khaw ce pha hy.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Cawh Jakob ing tui ak cawh tuikuk awm hy, lam a cehnaak awh ce hoet nawh, Jesu taw cawhkaw tuikuk a venawh ce ngawi hy. Khawnoek kquk tluk law hawh hy.
Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.
7 Cawh Samari nu pynoet ce tui ak than na law hy, Jesu ing a venawh, “Tui awk ahamni pe lah,” tina hy.
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 A hubatkhqi taw buh ak thlai aham khawk khuina cet hawh uhy.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Samari nu ing a venawh, “Nang taw Juda thlang, kai ve Samari nu ni. Ikawmyihna tui awk aham kai a venna na thoeh law?” tina hy. (Judakhqi ing Samarikhqi ve am pawlneng qu khawi uhy.)
"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jesu ing a venawh, “Khawsa a kutdo ce sim nawh na venawh tui ak thoeh lawkung ve na sim mantaw, nang ing thoeh kawm tiksaw anih ing hqingnaak tui ce ni pe hlai voei,” tina hy.
"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
11 Cawh cawhkaw nu ing, “Bawipa, cawhtaw tui awm na than aham am ngoe voel hy, tuikuk awm dung soeih hy. Cawhkaw hqingnaak tui ce hana kaw nu na huh thai kaw?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Nang ve kaimih a pa Jocob anglakawh na bau khqoet nawh nu? Anih ing vawhkaw tuikuk ve kaimih a venawh ni ceh pe taak khqi hy, amah ingawm ve a tui ve a na aw hy, a canaakhqi ingkaw ak khqin a taakkhqi ingawm a na aw uhy,” tina hy.
Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"
13 Jesu ing a venawh, “U awm vawhkaw tui ak awkhqi boeih taw tui ngaih tlaih kaw,
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Nu ing a venawh, “Bawipa, tui am ka ngaihnaak voel aham cawhkaw tui ce ni pe lah, vawhkaw tui awm am ka thannaak voel aham,” tina hy.
"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."
16 Jesu ing, “Cet nawh na vaa ce vak khy nawhtaw voei law tlaih,” tina hy.
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Anih ing, “Vaa am ta nyng,” tina hy. Jesu ing a venawh, “Vaa am ta nyng, na ti ce thym hy.
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Cehlai vaa pumha ta hawh hyk ti, tuhkaw pa na taak ce awm na vaa amni. Tuhkaw nak kqawn ce thym hy,” tina hy.
"for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that."
19 Nu ing, “Bawipa, nang ve tawngha ni tice ni sim nyng.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Ka pakhqi ing ve a tlang awh Khawsa ana beek uhy, cehlai nangmih Judakhqi ingtaw Jerusalem awh ni Khawsa beek aham a awm hy, ti uhyk ti,” tina hy.
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Jesu ing, “Nang nu, nik cangna lah, ve tlang ingkaw Jerusalem kqawn kaana, Pa bawknaak a tym ce law hawh kaw.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Nangmih Samari thlangkhqi ing am nami sim ce bawk uhyk ti; cehlai thaawngnaak ce Judakhqi venawh kawng a law dawngawh, kaimih ingtaw ka mi sim ce bawk unyng.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Cehlai Khawsa ak bawkkhqi ing Pa ce Myihla ingkaw awitak ing bawknaak a tym ce law kaw, tuh awm law hawh hy, cemyihna Khawsa ak bawk thlangkhqi ce Pa ing sui hy.
But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.
24 Khawsa taw Myihla na a awm dawngawh amah ak beek thlangkhqi ing Myihla ingkaw awitak ing a beek aham awm hy,” tina hy.
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Nu ing, “Messiah law kaw tice sim nyng. Anih a law awh, ik-oeih boeih boeih ce kqawn caih law kaw,” tina hy.
"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."
26 Cawh Jesu ing, “Nang a venawh awi ak kqawn kai ve anih hawh ni,” tina hy.
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi ce voei law tlaih uhy, nu ing awi anik kqawn ce ami huh awh amik kawpoek kyi hy. Cehlai u ingawm “Kaw na ngaih? Ikawtih aw nu ingqawi awi na nik kqawn?” tinawh am doet uhy.
Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Cawhkaw nu ing a tuium ce cehta nawh khawk khuina ang dawng coengawh thlangkhqi venawh,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Law unawh taw, ka them sai boeih boeih ak kqawn lawkung thlang ce toek law lah uh. Khrih hy leek nu?” tinak khqi hy.
"Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
30 Thlangkhqi ce khawk khui awhkawng law unawh anih ce ak toek na cet uhy.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Cawh a hubatkhqi ing, “Cawngpyikung, buh ai cang thoeih ti,” tina uhy.
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Cehlai a mingmih a venawh, “Nangmih ing am nami sim ai kawi buh ta nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 A hubatkhqi ing, “Thlang pynoet oet ing ai kawi haw law pe nawh hy voei nu?” ti uhy.
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Jesu ing, “Anik tyikung ak kawngaih sai aham ingkaw a bibi coeng peek aham ve ka buh ni.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Hlak phli coeng awhtaw caang ah khoek hawh kaw, ti uhyk ti ka ti my? Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nami mik dai unawh lokhqi ce toek lah uh! Caang hin nawh ah aham khoek hawh hy.
Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.
36 Tuh za caang ak aatkung ing thaphu hu hawh hy, caang ak sawkung ingkaw caang ak aatkung ce ani zeelnaak thai aham, kumqui hqingnaak aham caang ce tuh aat hawh hy. (aiōnios g166)
The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Thlang pynoet ing saw nawh, pynoet ing aat hy,’ tinaak awi ve thym hy.
For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
38 Nangmih ing am nami bi lo khuiawh cang ah ahamni tyi khqi nyng. Thlak chang ing bibi ak kyi ce ana bi hawh uhy, nangmih ing a mingmih a bibinaak ce aat uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours."
39 Cawhkaw nu ing, “Ka ik-oeih sai boeih kqawn law hy,” tinawh a simpyinaak awh ce a khawk khui awhkaw Samari thlang khawzah ing cangna uhy.
Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done."
40 Samari thlangkhqi ce a ven ami pha law awh, a mingmih a venawh awm aham thoeh uhy, cedawngawh khaw hih voei a mingmih ce awm pyi hy.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Ak awih kqawn awh thlang khawzah ngai ing cangna uhy.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Cekkhqi ing cawhkaw nu a venawh, “Nang ing nak kqawn awh ap cangna unyng saw; ka mimah qoe qoe ing za unawh ve ak thlang ve khawmdek thaawngkung ni tice ka sim dawgawh, cangna hawh unyng,” tina uhy.
and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."
43 Khaw hihvoei a awm coengawh Kalili na cet hy.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Tawngha a u awm amah a ram awh zoeksang na am awm khawi hy, tinawh Jesu amah qoe ing ak kqawn hawh dawngawh.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Kalili ce a pha awh, Kalili thlangkhqi ing do uhy. Jerusalem khaw awh cehtaak poei awhkaw a them saikhqi boeih ce ami huh dawngawh, cawh cekkhqi ce cawh awm lawt uhy.
When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
46 Cekcoengawh tui misur na ang coeng saknaak Kalili ram awhkaw Kana khaw na cet tlaih hy. Cawh Kapernaum khaw awh a capa ak tlo qalboei pynoet ce cawh awm hy.
So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
47 Cawhkaw boei ing Judah ram awhkawng Kalili ram na Jesu law hy tice ang zaak awh, a venna law nawh ak thi tawm a capa ce qoei sak aham qeennaak thoeh hy.
Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Jesu ing a venawh, “Nangmih ing kawpoek kyi ik-oeih ingkaw hatnaakkhqi am nami huh awhtaw ityk awh awm ap cangna hly uhyk ti,” tina hy.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Cawhkaw boei ing, “Bawipa, ka capa a thih hlanawh law cang lah,” tina hy.
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Jesu ing, “Cet hlah, na capa ce qoei hawh hy,” tina hy. Jesu ak awi ce cangna nawh cet hy.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Lam awh a ceh awh, a tyihzawihkhqi ing a capa ce leek tlaih hawh hy ti awithang leek ing ana do law uhy.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Han a tym awh nu a capa a leek tlaih tice a doet awh, a venawh, “Zan awh khawnoek khqih awh a tlawhnaak ing hlah law hy,” tina uhy.
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Ce a tym ce Jesu ing a venawh, “Na capa ce qoei hawh hy,” a tinak a tym na awm hy tice a pa ing sim hy. Cedawngawh amah ingkaw a ipkhuikaw boeih ing cangna uhy.
Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.
54 Vawhkaw kawpoek kyi hatnaak ik-oeih ve Jesu ing Judah qam awhkawng Kalili qam na a law coengawh a sai hih voeinaak na awm hy.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
