Jawhan 4
1 Jisuh ni Jawhan hlak tami moikapap a hnukkâbang lah a coung sak tie Farasinaw ni a thai awh e hah Jisuh ni a panue.
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 Atangcalah Jisuh ma roeroe ni apihai baptisma poe hoeh, a hnukkâbangnaw ni doeh a poe.
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Hatdawkvah, Judah ram lahoi Galilee lah let bout a ban.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Samaria ram a rakan teh,
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Jakop ni a capa Joseph a poe e tâpit teng Samaria khopui Sikhar vah a pha.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Hote hmuen koe Jakop e tuikhu a tai e ao. Jisuh teh a tawn dawkvah hote tuikhu teng vah a tahung. Hote atueng nah kanî boung a thun.
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 Hawvah Samaria napui teh tui do hanlah a tho. Jisuh ni hote napui koevah, tui nei hane na poe haw atipouh.
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 A hnukkâbangnaw teh rawca ran han khothung a cei awh.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Hote napui ni hai nang teh Judah tami nahoehmaw. Bangkong Samaria napui kai koe tui nei hane na hei vaw atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Judahnaw teh Samarianaw hoi cungtalah ouk awm awh hoeh.
"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 Jisuh nihai, Cathut e a pahrennae hoi nang koe tui ka hete heh apipatet e ne tie na panuek pawiteh ahni koe na hei han ei te atipouh. Ahni ni hai hringnae tui teh na poe han, atipouh.
"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 Hote napui ni Bawipa nang koe do nahane awm hoeh bo. Hete tuikhu haiyah hroung a dung dawkvah, hringnae tui na e maw ka hmu han vaw.
"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 teh kaimae mintoe Jakop hlak na cue maw. Jakop ni hete tuikhu heh kaimouh na poe awh teh, ama hoi a canaw pueng ni a do awh hloilah saring ka khoumnaw pueng ni hai hete tui hah a pânei awh atipouh.
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 Jisuh ni, hete tui ka net e pueng teh tui bout a kahran han rah.
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Napui ni, Bawipa, kai hai tui bout kahran hoe nahan hoi hie hmuen koe tuido hanlah bout ka tho hoeh nahanelah hote tui na poe haw atipouh.
"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 Jisuh ni cet nateh na vâ kaw nateh, hi bout tho ei atipouh.
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Napui nihai, kai ka vâ ka tawn hoeh atipouh, Jisuh ni ka vâ ka tawn hoeh na tie teh atang doeh,
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Hatei, na vâ panga touh na tawn toe. Atu na okhai e hai na vâ katang nahoeh bokheiyah, atipouh.
"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 Napui nihai, Bawipa, nang teh profet lah na o tie ka panue.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Kaimae mintoenaw teh hete mon dawk Cathut a bawk awh. Hatei, nangmouh Judahnaw ni teh Jerusalem kho dawk dueng doeh Cathut ka bawk awh ouk na ti awh, atipouh.
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Jisuh ni, napui nang, ka lawk yuem haw. Hete mon koe cet laipalah, Jerusalem kho hai cet laipalah Cathut bawk nahane atueng a pha han toe.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Rungngangnae teh Judahnaw koehoi a tâco dawkvah, kaimouh teh kamamouh ni ka panue awh e hah ka bawk awh. Nangmouh teh namamouh ni na panue awh hoeh e hah na bawk awh.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Ka bawk katangnaw ni Pa hah muitha hoi lawkkatang hoi bawknae a tue atu a pha toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh hottelah bawk hanelah doeh Pa ni a ngainae ao.
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 Cathut teh Muitha lah ao dawkvah, ka bawk e pueng ni teh muitha hoi lawkkatang hoi a bawk awh han atipouh.
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Napui ni hai Khrih tie Messiah a tho han tie ka panue. Ama a tho hnin toteh bangpueng kaimouh koe a pâpho han, atipouh.
"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 Jisuh ni, ahni teh kai doeh, atu nang hoi lawk kâpan e teh Messiah doeh atipouh.
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Hatnavah a hnukkâbangnaw a tho awh teh hote napui hoi a kâpan e hah a hmu awh navah a kângairu awh. Hatei, bangmaw a ngai, hote napui hoi bangkongmaw lawk a kâpan roi tie hah apinihai pacei hoeh.
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 Hote napui ni tuium a ceitakhai teh kho thung lah a cei.
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 Kaie ka to ka sak e naw pheng ka panuek e tami heh khenhaw! ahni teh Messiah tie Khrih paka han doeh, telah taminaw hah a dei pouh.
"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 Kho thung e taminaw teh, Jisuh koe a tho awh.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Hatnae tueng dawk a hnukkâbangnaw ni Rabbi bu cat ei, atipouh awh.
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Hatei, nangmouh ni na panue hoeh e cakawi kai koe ao, atipouh.
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 A hnukkâbangnaw ni, tami buetbuet touh ni rawca a la poe toung ma aw ti teh a kâ pacei awh.
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Jisuh ni, kai na kapatounkung e a ngainae tawk e hoi ahnie thaw cum e doeh kaie rawca lah ao.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Nangmouh ni canga nahan thapa yung pali touh a ngai rah na ti awh nahoehmaw. Kai ni ka dei e teh lawnaw hah khenhaw. Canga hane coungkacoelah koung a hmin toe.
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 Cang ka a kung ni kutphu a hmu teh yungyoe hring nahanelah capai dawk a pâkhueng awh. Hatdawkvah cati ka patue e hoi cang ka a e teh reirei a konawm awh han. (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 Tami buet touh ni a patue, buet touh ni a a telah dei e heh hitueng vah a kuep.
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 Nangmouh ni thaw na tawkhoehnae lawhmuen koevah canga hanlah na kâ patoun awh, ayâ ni a tawk tangcoung e nangmouh ni youn na pang awh, atipouh.
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 Samaria napui ni vah, kaie ka tawksak e pueng ahni ni be a pâpho tie a dei dawkvah kho thung kaawm e Samaria taminaw ni Jisuh hah a yuem awh.
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 Hatdawkvah Samarianaw ni hai Jisuh koe a cei awh teh ahnimouh koe hnin o hanelah a haw awh. Hawvah hnin hni touh a roe.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Ama e lawk khei a thai awh dawkvah taminaw pueng ni a tang awh.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Hote napui koevah, nang ni na dei dawk dueng yuem e tho hoeh. Ama e a lawk khei ka thai awh dawkvah, hete tami teh talaivan rungngangkung Bawi Messiah tie atuvah ka panue awh toe atipouh awh.
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 Hnin hni touh aloum hoi haw hoi a tâco teh, Nazareth kho a roun teh Galilee ram lah a cei.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Bangkongtetpawiteh, profet teh ama khovah barinae awmhoeh telah Jisuh ma ni ati.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Galilee lah a pha navah ahnimouh ni Bawipa teh a dawn awh, bangkongtetpawiteh ahnimouh hai pawi koe a cei awh van teh, Jerusalem kho pawi koevah Jisuh ni a sak e hnonaw pueng hah a hmu awh.
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 Tui he misurtui lah a coung saknae Galilee ram kanâ khovah bout a pha. Hatnavah Kapernuam kho e kalaw bawi buet touh e a capa teh a pataw.
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 Jisuh hah Judah ram hoi Galilee ram lah a pha tie hote kalaw bawi ni a thai navah, Jisuh koe a cei teh, meimei kadout e a ca damnae a hmu thai nahanelah a kaw.
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 Jisuh ni nangmouh ni mithmu kângairunae na hmawt awh hoehpawiteh na yuem a mahoeh atipouh.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Bawipa, ka capa a due hoehnahlan uren tho ei, telah kalaw bawi ni atipouh.
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Jisuh ni cet leih, na capa teh yo a dam toe atipouh nah, kalaw bawi ni hai a yuem teh a cei.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 A cei lahun nah a vaicanaw ni a dawn awh teh, na capa yo a dam toe atipouh awh.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Nâtuek maw damnae a hmu titeh a pacei navah paduem tangmin suimilam sari nah atipouh awh.
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Hote tueng teh Jisuh ni na capa a dam toe tinae tueng doeh tie a na pa ni a panue dawkvah, ama hoi imthungkhu abuemlah ni a yuem awh.
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 Hete mitnout teh Jisuh ni Judah hoi Galilee lah a cei hnukkhu avai hni nah e a sak e doeh.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
