John 4
1 Tua ahikom Jesus in John sang in nungzui tam koi zaw a, tuiphumna pia hi, ci thu Pharisee te in zazo uh hi, ci Topa in a heak ciang in,
When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John,
2 Jesus Ama vateak in tuiphumna pia ngawl hi, ahihang a nungzui te bek in pia hi,
(Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples, )
3 Judah ngam nusia in Galilee ngam sung ah paikik uh hi.
He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
4 Taciang Jesus sia Samaria ngamsung a kantan ngawl phamaw hi.
And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.
5 Sychar a kici, Samaria ngam khuapi khat, Jacob in a tapa Joseph a piak lo ngam nai na ah Jesus theng hi.
He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Tua mun ah Jacob tuikhuk om hi. Jesus sia a khualhaw na toi ahikom in, tuikhuk hui ah to hi: tua hun sia sun nai sawm le nai ni pawl a hihi.
Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Samaria numei khat tuitoai tu in hongpai a: Jesus in a kung ah, Ka dawn tu hong pia tan, ci hi.
There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.
8 Banghangziam cile a nungzui te khuapi sung ah an lei tu in pai uh hi.
For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.
9 Taciang in Samaria numei nu in, nang sia Judah mi na hi a, kei sia Samaria numei ka hihi, bangbang in tui dawn tu hong ngen ni ziam? ci hi. Banghangziam cile Judah te in Samaria te taw ki pawlkhawm ngei ngawl uh hi.
Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus in a kung ah hibang in ci hi, Pathian i letsong le nangma hong paupui sia kua ci he le te, Ama kung ah, tui dawn tu hongpia tan, ci in ngen zawsap tu ni hi; taciang Ama in nuntakna tui hongpia tu hi, ci in zo hi.
Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 Numei nu in, Topa awng, tuitoai natu le bangma na nei bua a, tuikhuk zong thuk mama si hi: koisungpan tua nuntakna tui nei tu ni ziam?
The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?
12 Nangma in ka pa uh Jacob sang in lianzaw ni ziam? ama in tuikhuk hong pia a, ama tatak ma, a tate le nganno te zong in dawn hi, ci hi.
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus in a kung ah, A kuamapo hi tui a dawn peuma dangtak kik tu hi:
Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;
15 Numei nu in, Topa awng, dangtak ngawl tu le hi mun ah tuitoai pai kul ngawl tu in, hi tui hong pia tan, ci hi.
The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Jesus in, Pai in, na pasal sam tan a hi mun ah hongpai tan, ci hi.
Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Numei nu in, pasal ka nei bua hi, ci in zo hi. Jesus in, Pasal nei ngawl khi hi na ci sia pha hi:
The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:
18 Banghangziam cile pasal nga na nei zo hi; taciang tu in na nei sia zong na pasal hi ngawl hi: tua thu ah a mantak in na son hi, ci hi.
For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.
19 Numei nu in, Topa awng, nangma sia kamsang ni hi, ci hong he khi hi.
The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Ka pa te uh in hi mual tung ah biakpia uh hi; taciang note in Jerusalem ah na biak tu uh a hihi, na ci uh hi, ci hi.
Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.
21 Jesus in ama tung ah, Numei awng, hong um tan, Pa sia hi mualtung ah ahizong, Jerusalem ah ahizong, na biak ngawl uh hun hong theng tu hi.
Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.
22 Na biak uh sia bang ziam, ci na he bua uh hi: kote in bang bia khu ziam, ci ka he uh hi: banghangziam cile ngupna sia Judah mite kung pan in hongpai hi.
You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.
23 Ahihang a mantak in a bia te in, Pa sia thaa le thutak taw a biak tu uh hun hong theng tu hi, tu in tua hun hong theng zo hi: banghangziam cile Pa in tabang in Ama a bia te zong hi.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.
24 Pathian sia Thaa a hihi: taciang a bia peuma in thaa le thutak taw a biak tu uh a hihi, ci hi.
God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.
25 Numei nu in a kung ah, Christ a kici Messiah sia hongpai tu a: hongpai ciang in, Ama in na theampo hong son tu hi, ci hi.
The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ). Therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus in, Na kung ah nang hong paupui sia, tua pa ka hihi, ci hi.
Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
27 Taciang in a nungzui te hongpai uh a, numei nu taw a ki paupui sia lamdangsa mama uh ahihang: kuama in bang zong ni ziam? a hibale, banghang in numei nu taw ki paupui ni ziam? a ci bua uh hi.
And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?
28 Tua numei nu in a tuibeal nusia in, khuasung ah pai a, mite tung ah,
The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:
29 Ka sep theampo hong son pa sia pai vun a, en vun: hi sia in Christ hi ngawl ziam? ci hi.
Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?
30 Tabang in khuasung pan pusuak uh a, Jesus kung ah hongpai hon uh hi.
They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.
31 Tua laitak in a nungzui te in, Syapa awng, an ne in, ci uh hi.
In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.
32 Ahihang ama in, Note i heak ngawl an neak tu ka nei hi, ci hi.
But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.
33 Tua ahikom khatpo in neak tu puak a hi tam? ci in a nungzui te khat le khat ki dong uh hi.
The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?
34 Jesus in amate kung ah, Keima hong sawlpa deina bang sep tu le Ama nasep ka zaw tu sia keima an a hihi.
Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.
35 Tu zo tha li ciang in anlak hun hong theng tu hi, ci hi ngawl nu ziam? dak vun a, lo te en vun; amate ang zo a, anlak hun zo hi, kong ci hi.
Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.
36 Taciang anla peuma in sep thaman nga tu a, tawntung nuntakna atu in thing nga te kaikhawm tu hi: taciang thaici a poai te le anla te lungdam khawm tu uh hi. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Khat in thaici poai a, a dang khat in anla hi, a ci sia a thuman a hihi.
For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.
38 Na sep ngawl na uh lo sung ah anla tu in kong sawl hi: midang te in seam uh a, taciang midang te sepnasa sung ah note na tum uh hi, ci hi.
I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.
39 Numei nu in, ka sep theampo Ama in hong son hi, ci in son ahikom, Samaria khua sung mi tampi te in Jesus um uh hi.
Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.
40 A kung ah Samaria mite hongpai ciang in, amate taw om tu in kun uh a: tua mun ah ni ni sung taam hi.
So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.
41 Jesus Ama kam vateak hang in a um mihing hong tam seseam hi;
And many more believed in him because of his own word.
42 Taciang numei nu kung ah, tu in nangma son bek taw hi ngawl in, koma vateak in ka zak uh hu in um khu hi, taciang Ama sia leitung ngum tu Christ a hihi, ci ka he uh hi, ci uh hi.
And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
43 Ni ni zawkciang in, Jesus tua mun pan in pusuak a, Galilee ah pai hi.
Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 Banghangziam cile Jesus ama vateak in, kamsang sia ama ngam ah ki zakta ngawl hi, ci in tettipang hi.
For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Galilee ah hongpai ciang in, Galilee mite in Ama sang uh hi, banghangziam cile Jerusalem poai ah amate pai uh a: a sep theampo mu uh hi.
And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.
46 Tua ahikom Jesus in tui pan sapittui a suasak na mun, Galilee huam Cana khua ah paikik hi. Tua khua ah ulian khat om a, a tapa Capernaum khua ah a cina hi.
He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.
47 Jesus sia Judah ngam pan in pusuak a, Galilee ah om hi, ci a zak ciang in, a kung ah pai hi, Capernaum khua ah pai in, a tapa damsak tu in ngen hi: banghangziam cile a tapa thi dektak hi.
He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Jesus in ama kung ah, Musakna te le nalamdang te na mu bua uh le, na um bua uh hi, ci hi.
Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.
49 Tua ulian pa in, Topa awng, ka tapa a thi ma hongpai tan, ci hi.
The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.
50 Jesus in ama kung ah, Va pai tan, na tapa nungta hi, ci hi. Tua pa in Jesus kammal um in pai hi.
Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.
51 A pai laitak in, a naseam te in dawntua a, na tapa nungta hi, ci son hi.
And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.
52 Ama in a tapa bang hun laitak in damzaw ziam, ci dong hi. A naseam te in sun nai khat pawl in a cisa dam hi, ci uh hi.
He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
53 Tua hun sia Jesus in, Na tapa nungta hi, a ci lian laitak hi, ci a pa in he hi: taciang ama vateak le a innkuan bup in um uh hi.
The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 Hi thu sia Judah ngam pan in Galilee huam ah Jesus a paizawk nalamdang a vawt ni vei na a hihi.
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.
