Yohana 4
1 Mafalisayo ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu akupata ŵakulijiganya ŵajinji ni kwabatisya kwapunda che Yohana.
Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
2 Nambo Che Yesu nsyene nganiŵabatisya ŵandu, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni ŵaŵabatisyaga ŵandu.
(although Jesus Himself wasn’t baptizing, but His disciples were),
3 Nipele, Che Yesu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatyosile ku Yudea ni kuuja ku Galilaya.
He left Judea, and went back towards Galilee.
4 Mu ulendo wao ŵasachilwe kupita ku Samalia.
He had to go through Samaria.
5 Nipele, ŵaiche ku Sikali musi umo wa ku Samalia, pachiŵandi ngunda u che Yusufu wapegwilwe ni che Yakobo atatigwe.
He came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that 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. Jesus therefore, being tired from His journey, sat down by 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 Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”
8 Katema ko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵajile mu mmusi kukusuma yakulya.
His disciples had gone into the town 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.
The Samaritan woman therefore asked Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink, since I’m a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.)
10 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nkachimanyi chichi chakusaka Akunnungu kumpa ni ŵaani ŵakummenda meesi gakung'wa, nkammendile jwelejo, nombejo akampele meesi gagakwikanawo umi.”
Jesus answered her, “If you knew God’s gift, and who it is who says to you, ‘Please give me a drink,’ you would have asked 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, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where could you get this living water from?
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?”
Are You greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us this well and who used to drink from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?”
13 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Jwalijose juchang'we meesi ga chisima chi chijakole njota sooni.
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will get thirsty again,
15 Jwankongwe jo ŵansalile, “Ambuje, nguŵenda meesi go kuti jinangole njota sooni ni ninaiche sooni pelepa kukuteka meesi.”
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming all the way here to draw water.”
16 Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Njaule nkaaŵilanje ŵankwenu, nkaiche pamo nawo pelepa.”
Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 Jwankongwe jo ŵajanjile, “Uneji nganingola ŵalume.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njanjile yambone kuti nganinkola ŵalume.
The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus told her, “You are right 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, and the one you have now isn’t your husband. What you have said is quite true.”
19 Jwankongwe jo ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, nguwona kuti mmwejo ndi jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive 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 ancestors worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Amao, nkulupilile chinguchisala, chikaiche katema ngamwapopelela Atati mwinani mwa chitumbi chi atamuno ku Yelusalemu kula.
Jesus told her, “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither in 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 Samaritans worship what you don’t know. We worship what we 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.
A time is coming, and has now come, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers that the Father seeks.
24 Akunnungu ali Mbumu, ni ŵakwapopelela ŵelewo ŵapopeleleje achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kuumanyilila usyene.”
God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and 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 (who is called Christ) is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
26 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Uneji junguŵecheta nomwe ndili jwelejo.”
Jesus told her, “I who speak to you am He.”
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?”
Just then Jesus’ disciples returned. They were surprised to find him talking with a woman, but no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Jwankongwe jo ŵalesile lulo lwakwe palapala, ŵajawile mmusi ni kwasalila ŵandu achitiji,
Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and began telling the people,
29 “Njisangane nkannole mundu jwasalile yanayose imbanganyisye! Ikukomboleka kuti jweleju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola?”
“Come, see a man who told me everything that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
30 Nipele ŵandu ŵakopweche mmusi ula ni kwajaulila Che Yesu.
They went out of the city, and started to go to Him.
31 Katema kakoko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵaliji nkwachondelela Che Yesu achitiji, “Chondechonde Jwakwiganya, ndye.”
Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him, saying “Rabbi, eat something.”
32 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uneji ngwete chakulya chingankuchimanyilila ŵanyamwe.”
He told them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 Ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵatandite kuusyana achinsyene pe, “Ana kwana mundu jwanjigalile chakulya?”
So the disciples asked one another, “Nobody brought Him anything to eat, did they?”
34 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Chakulya changu chili kutendekanya chakusaka aŵala ŵandumile ni kugamalisya masengo gao.
Jesus told them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish His work.
35 Ŵanyamwe ngankuti, ‘Jisigalile miesi ncheche, pakwika katema ka kugungula?’ Nambo uneji ngunsalila nnole migunda ji jili chile kwa kugungula.
Don’t you say, ‘It’s still four months until the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields! They are ripe for 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)
He who harvests is already receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that he who plants and he who harvests may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Chiŵecheto chi chili chisyene, ‘Jumo akupanda ni jwine akugungula.’
Thus the saying ‘One plants and another harvests’ is true.
38 Uneji nantumile nkagungule magowolo ganganimpande ŵanyamwe, ŵane ŵapanganyisye masengo gakulimba, nambo gelego ginkupata ŵanyamwe gali kwa ligongo lya masengo gao.”
I sent you to harvest that for which you didn’t labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Ŵasamalia ŵajinji ŵa musi ula ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu kwa ligongo lya umboni wa maloŵe gaŵaŵechete jwankongwe jo gagakuti, “Asalile inayose imbanganyisye.”
Many Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything that I ever did.”
40 Ŵasamalia ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwachondelela atame pamo nawo, nombejo ŵatemi pepala moŵa gaŵili.
So when the Samaritans arrived, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days.
41 Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji nnope ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu ligongo lya maloŵe gao.
Many more believed because of His words.
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.”
They told the woman, “It’s no longer just because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world, the Christ.”
43 Pagapite moŵa gaŵili Che Yesu ŵausile sooni ku Galilaya.
After the two days, He departed from there and went to Galilee,
44 Pakuŵa Che Yesu nsyene ŵasasile pangasisa kuti, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu ngakuchimbichikwa mchilambo chakwe nsyene.”
for Jesus Himself testified 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.
When He arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they had been there, too.
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.
Therefore He came back to Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine. There was a certain royal official, 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.
When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was at the point of death.
48 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankwakulupilila Akunnungu pangaiwona imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka!”
Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
49 Jwankulu jo ŵanjanjile, “Ambuje, chondechonde tujaule mwanangu akanaŵe kuwa.”
The royal official said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
50 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njauleje, mwanagwenu chalame.” Mundu jo ŵalikulupilile liloŵe liŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu ni ŵajawile.
Jesus told him, “Go in peace. Your son lives.” So the man believed the words that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
51 Paŵaliji nkutuluka, ŵasimene ni achikapolo ŵao ni ŵansalile kuti mwanache jwao alamile.
As he was still going down the road, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
52 Nombejo ŵausisye katema kaŵatandite mwanagwe kupata eja, ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Ulwele wannesile liiso saa saba ja musi.”
So he asked them the hour when he began to recover, and they told 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.
The father realized that it was at that hour that Jesus told him, “Your son lives,” and he himself believed, along with his whole household.
54 Chelechi chaliji chimanyisyo cha kusimosya chaaŵili chiŵachipanganyisye Che Yesu paŵatyosile ku Yudea kuuja ku Galilaya.
This was the second sign that Jesus did, when He had come from out of Judea to Galilee.
