Yohana 4
1 Mafalisayo ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu akupata ŵakulijiganya ŵajinji ni kwabatisya kwapunda che Yohana.
And so, when Jesus realized that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made more disciples and baptized more than John,
2 Nambo Che Yesu nsyene nganiŵabatisya ŵandu, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni ŵaŵabatisyaga ŵandu.
(though Jesus himself was not baptizing, but only his disciples)
3 Nipele, Che Yesu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatyosile ku Yudea ni kuuja ku Galilaya.
he left behind Judea, and he traveled again to Galilee.
4 Mu ulendo wao ŵasachilwe kupita ku Samalia.
Now he needed to cross through Samaria.
5 Nipele, ŵaiche ku Sikali musi umo wa ku Samalia, pachiŵandi ngunda u che Yusufu wapegwilwe ni che Yakobo atatigwe.
Therefore, he went into a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the estate which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Pelepo paliji ni chisima chi che Yakobo, nombe Che Yesu pakuŵa ŵapesile ni ulendo, ŵatemi mungulugulu chisima. Yaliji muusi lyuŵa pantwe.
And Jacob’s well was there. And so Jesus, being tired from the journey, was sitting in a certain way on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Nipele jwankongwe jumo Msamalia ŵaiche kukuteka meesi. Ni Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Nguŵenda meesi gakung'wa.”
A woman of Samaria arrived to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me to drink.”
8 Katema ko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵajile mu mmusi kukusuma yakulya.
For his disciples had gone into the city in order to buy food.
9 Nambo jwankongwe jo ŵatite, “Mmwejo Myahudi, ana nkukombola chinauli kuumenda meesi gakung'wa uneji jwankongwe Msamalia?” Ŵatite yele pakuŵa Ŵayahudi ngakukamulangana ni Ŵasamalia.
And so, that Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, are requesting a drink from me, though I am a Samaritan woman?” For the Jews do not associate with the Samaritans.
10 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nkachimanyi chichi chakusaka Akunnungu kumpa ni ŵaani ŵakummenda meesi gakung'wa, nkammendile jwelejo, nombejo akampele meesi gagakwikanawo umi.”
Jesus responded and said to her: “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Give me to drink,’ perhaps you would have made a request of him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 Jwankongwe jo ŵatite, “Ambuje, mmwe nganinkola ngao ni chisima chi chilewipe nnope. Ana mpatile kwapi meesi gagakwikanawo umi go?
The woman said to him: “Lord, you do not have anything with which to draw water, and the well is deep. From where, then, do you have living water?
12 Ambuje ŵetu che Yakobo ni ŵatupele uweji chisima chi, nsyene ni ŵanagwe ni ilango yakwe ŵang'wele meesi ga chisima chi. Ana mmwejo nkulitenda jwankulu nnope kwapunda che Yakobo?”
Surely, you are not greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and who drank from it, with his sons and his cattle?”
13 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Jwalijose juchang'we meesi ga chisima chi chijakole njota sooni.
Jesus responded and said to her: “All who drink from this water will thirst again.
15 Jwankongwe jo ŵansalile, “Ambuje, nguŵenda meesi go kuti jinangole njota sooni ni ninaiche sooni pelepa kukuteka meesi.”
The woman said to him, “Lord, give me this water, so that I may not thirst and may not come here to draw water.”
16 Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Njaule nkaaŵilanje ŵankwenu, nkaiche pamo nawo pelepa.”
Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and return here.”
17 Jwankongwe jo ŵajanjile, “Uneji nganingola ŵalume.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njanjile yambone kuti nganinkola ŵalume.
The woman responded and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her: “You have spoken well, in saying, ‘I have no husband.’
18 Pakuŵa mwalombilwe kasano, ni jwannume junkutama nawo sambano jo nganaŵa ŵankwenu. Pelepo chinsasile cho chili chisyene.”
For you have had five husbands, but he whom you have now is not your husband. You have spoken this in truth.”
19 Jwankongwe jo ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, nguwona kuti mmwejo ndi jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
The woman said to him: “Lord, I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Achambuje ŵetu ŵa Chisamalia ŵaapopelele Akunnungu mwinani mwa chitumbi chi, nambo ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi nkuti, tukusachilwa kwapopelela Akunnungu ku Yelusalemu.”
Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
21 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Amao, nkulupilile chinguchisala, chikaiche katema ngamwapopelela Atati mwinani mwa chitumbi chi atamuno ku Yelusalemu kula.
Jesus said to her: “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you shall worship the Father, neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.
22 Ŵanyamwe Ŵasamalia nkwapopelela ŵangankwamanyilila, nambo uweji Ŵayahudi tukwamanyilila ŵatukwapopelela, pakuŵa ukulupusyo wa Akunnungu chiutyochele kwa litala lya Ŵayahudi.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know. For salvation is from the Jews.
23 Nambo chikaiche katema, sooni kaiche, ŵakupopelela kwa usyene chiŵaapopelele Atati achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni usyene. Pakuŵa Atati akwasaka ŵandu ŵakwapopelela chanti yeleyo.
But the hour is coming, and it is now, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeks such persons who may worship him.
24 Akunnungu ali Mbumu, ni ŵakwapopelela ŵelewo ŵapopeleleje achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kuumanyilila usyene.”
God is Spirit. And so, those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
25 Jwankongwe jo ŵansalile, “Ngumanyilila kuti chaiche Masiya jwakuŵilanjikwa Kilisito Jwakuwombola. Pachaiche chatumanyisye inayose.”
The woman said to him: “I know that the Messiah is coming (who is called the Christ). And then, when he will have arrived, he will announce everything to us.”
26 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Uneji junguŵecheta nomwe ndili jwelejo.”
Jesus said to her: “I am he, the one who is speaking with you.”
27 Papopo ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵausile, ŵasimosile ligongo ŵaasimene Che Yesu alinkukunguluka ni jwankongwe. Nambo ngapagwa jwalijose juŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ana nkusaka chichi? Pane kwaligongo chi nkukunguluka ni jwankongwe?”
And then his disciples arrived. And they wondered that he was speaking with the woman. Yet no one said: “What are you seeking?” or, “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Jwankongwe jo ŵalesile lulo lwakwe palapala, ŵajawile mmusi ni kwasalila ŵandu achitiji,
And so the woman left behind her water jar and went into the city. And she said to the men there:
29 “Njisangane nkannole mundu jwasalile yanayose imbanganyisye! Ikukomboleka kuti jweleju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola?”
“Come and see a man who has told me all the things that I have done. Is he not the Christ?”
30 Nipele ŵandu ŵakopweche mmusi ula ni kwajaulila Che Yesu.
Therefore, they went out of the city and came to him.
31 Katema kakoko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵaliji nkwachondelela Che Yesu achitiji, “Chondechonde Jwakwiganya, ndye.”
Meanwhile, the disciples petitioned him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uneji ngwete chakulya chingankuchimanyilila ŵanyamwe.”
But he said to them, “I have food to eat which you do not know.”
33 Ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵatandite kuusyana achinsyene pe, “Ana kwana mundu jwanjigalile chakulya?”
Therefore, the disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat?”
34 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Chakulya changu chili kutendekanya chakusaka aŵala ŵandumile ni kugamalisya masengo gao.
Jesus said to them: “My food is to do the will of the One who sent me, so that I may perfect his work.
35 Ŵanyamwe ngankuti, ‘Jisigalile miesi ncheche, pakwika katema ka kugungula?’ Nambo uneji ngunsalila nnole migunda ji jili chile kwa kugungula.
Do you not say, ‘There are still four months, and then the harvest arrives?’ Behold, I say to you: Lift up your eyes and look at the countryside; for it is already ripe for the harvest.
36 Jwakugungula akupochela mbote ni akukumbikanya pamo magungulo kuti gakole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, nipele jwakupanda asengwe yalumo ni jwakugungula. (aiōnios g166)
For he who reaps, receives wages and gathers fruit unto eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Chiŵecheto chi chili chisyene, ‘Jumo akupanda ni jwine akugungula.’
For in this the word is true: that it is one who sows, and it is another who reaps.
38 Uneji nantumile nkagungule magowolo ganganimpande ŵanyamwe, ŵane ŵapanganyisye masengo gakulimba, nambo gelego ginkupata ŵanyamwe gali kwa ligongo lya masengo gao.”
I have sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
39 Ŵasamalia ŵajinji ŵa musi ula ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu kwa ligongo lya umboni wa maloŵe gaŵaŵechete jwankongwe jo gagakuti, “Asalile inayose imbanganyisye.”
Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him, because of the word of the woman who was offering testimony: “For he told me all the things that I have done.”
40 Ŵasamalia ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwachondelela atame pamo nawo, nombejo ŵatemi pepala moŵa gaŵili.
Therefore, when the Samaritans had come to him, they petitioned him to lodge there. And he lodged there for two days.
41 Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji nnope ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu ligongo lya maloŵe gao.
And many more believed in him, because of his own word.
42 Ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Sano tukukulupilila ngaŵa kwaligongo lya kuŵecheta kwenu pe, nambo pakuŵa tupilikene twachinsyene, ni tukumanyilila kuti isyene ajuju ni Nkulupusyo jwa ŵandu ŵapachilambo.”
And they said to the woman: “Now we believe, not because of your speech, but because we ourselves have heard him, and so we know that he is truly the Savior of the world.”
43 Pagapite moŵa gaŵili Che Yesu ŵausile sooni ku Galilaya.
Then, after two days, he departed from there, and he traveled into Galilee.
44 Pakuŵa Che Yesu nsyene ŵasasile pangasisa kuti, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu ngakuchimbichikwa mchilambo chakwe nsyene.”
For Jesus himself offered testimony that a Prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Paŵaiche ku Galilaya, ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakweleko ŵapochele, pakuŵa ŵanyawo nombe ŵaliji ku Yelusalemu kuchindimba cha Pasaka, ŵaiweni yose yaitesileje Che Yesu pachindimba.
And so, when he had arrived in Galilee, the Galileans received him, because they had seen all that he had done at Jerusalem, in the day of the feast. For they also went to the feast day.
46 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaujile sooni mmusi wa ku Kana, chilambo cha ku Galilaya, peuto paŵagatesile meesi gaŵe divai pala. Pepala paliji ni jwankulu jumo juŵaliji ni mwanache jwakulwala ku Kapelenaumu ko.
Then he went again into Cana of Galilee, where he made water into wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Nipele jwankulu jo paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu atyosile ku Yudea ni kwika ku Galilaya, ŵajaulile ni kwachondelela ajaule ku Kapelenaumu akannamye mwanagwe juŵalwalaga kuŵandichila kuwa.
Since he had heard that Jesus came to Galilee from Judea, he sent to him and begged him to come down and heal his son. For he was beginning to die.
48 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankwakulupilila Akunnungu pangaiwona imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka!”
Therefore, Jesus said to him, “Unless you have seen signs and wonders, you do not believe.”
49 Jwankulu jo ŵanjanjile, “Ambuje, chondechonde tujaule mwanangu akanaŵe kuwa.”
The ruler said to him, “Lord, come down before my son dies.”
50 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njauleje, mwanagwenu chalame.” Mundu jo ŵalikulupilile liloŵe liŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu ni ŵajawile.
Jesus said to him, “Go, your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and so he went away.
51 Paŵaliji nkutuluka, ŵasimene ni achikapolo ŵao ni ŵansalile kuti mwanache jwao alamile.
Then, as he was going down, his servants met him. And they reported to him, saying that his son was alive.
52 Nombejo ŵausisye katema kaŵatandite mwanagwe kupata eja, ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Ulwele wannesile liiso saa saba ja musi.”
Therefore, he asked them at which hour he had become better. And they said to him, “Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
53 Nipele atati jo ŵajimanyilile kuti jaliji saa jilajila jiŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu kuti, “Mwanagwenu chalame.” Pelepo nsyene pamo ni achalongo ŵakwe wose ŵankulupilile Che Yesu.
Then the father realized that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And both he and his entire household believed.
54 Chelechi chaliji chimanyisyo cha kusimosya chaaŵili chiŵachipanganyisye Che Yesu paŵatyosile ku Yudea kuuja ku Galilaya.
This next sign was the second that Jesus accomplished, after he had arrived in Galilee from Judea.
