Yohana 4
1 Mafalisayo ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu akupata ŵakulijiganya ŵajinji ni kwabatisya kwapunda che Yohana.
Now when the Lord learned that the Pharisees heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 Nambo Che Yesu nsyene nganiŵabatisya ŵandu, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni ŵaŵabatisyaga ŵandu.
(although it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples),
3 Nipele, Che Yesu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatyosile ku Yudea ni kuuja ku Galilaya.
he left Judea and went away to Galilee.
4 Mu ulendo wao ŵasachilwe kupita ku Samalia.
But he had to pass through Samaria.
5 Nipele, ŵaiche ku Sikali musi umo wa ku Samalia, pachiŵandi ngunda u che Yusufu wapegwilwe ni che Yakobo atatigwe.
So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given 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.
Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, wearied as he was from the journey, sat 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.”
When a woman from Samaria came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
8 Katema ko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵajile mu mmusi kukusuma yakulya.
(For his disciples had gone into the city 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.
So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that yoʋ, a Jew, ask for water to drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings 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 yoʋ knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to yoʋ, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ yoʋ would have asked him, and he would have given yoʋ 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, “Sir, yoʋ do not even have a bucket to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then can yoʋ get this 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?”
Are yoʋ greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock?”
13 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Jwalijose juchang'we meesi ga chisima chi chijakole njota sooni.
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks 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, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty again and have to come here to draw water.”
16 Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Njaule nkaaŵilanje ŵankwenu, nkaiche pamo nawo pelepa.”
Jesus said to her, “Go call yoʋr husband and come back here.”
17 Jwankongwe jo ŵajanjile, “Uneji nganingola ŵalume.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njanjile yambone kuti nganinkola ŵalume.
The woman said in response, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Yoʋ have rightly said, ‘I have no husband,’
18 Pakuŵa mwalombilwe kasano, ni jwannume junkutama nawo sambano jo nganaŵa ŵankwenu. Pelepo chinsasile cho chili chisyene.”
for yoʋ have had five husbands, and the man yoʋ now have is not yoʋr husband; what yoʋ have said is true.”
19 Jwankongwe jo ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, nguwona kuti mmwejo ndi jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that yoʋ 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 worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people 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 said to her, “Woman, believe me, an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
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 know, because 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 an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such people to worship him.
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 Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Uneji junguŵecheta nomwe ndili jwelejo.”
Jesus said to her, “I who speak to yoʋ 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 his disciples came back, and they were amazed that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, “What do yoʋ want?” or, “Why are yoʋ speaking with her?”
28 Jwankongwe jo ŵalesile lulo lwakwe palapala, ŵajawile mmusi ni kwasalila ŵandu achitiji,
Then the woman left her water jar, went into the town, and said to the people,
29 “Njisangane nkannole mundu jwasalile yanayose imbanganyisye! Ikukomboleka kuti jweleju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola?”
“Come see a man who told me everything I have ever done. Could this be the Christ?”
30 Nipele ŵandu ŵakopweche mmusi ula ni kwajaulila Che Yesu.
So they left the town and began coming to him.
31 Katema kakoko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵaliji nkwachondelela Che Yesu achitiji, “Chondechonde Jwakwiganya, ndye.”
In the meantime the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uneji ngwete chakulya chingankuchimanyilila ŵanyamwe.”
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
33 Ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵatandite kuusyana achinsyene pe, “Ana kwana mundu jwanjigalile chakulya?”
So 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 him who sent me and to complete 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 comes the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and see that the fields are already 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 reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for 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 true saying is verified: ‘One sows and another reaps.’
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 reap what you have not labored for; 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 of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman's testimony: “He told me everything I have ever done.”
40 Ŵasamalia ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwachondelela atame pamo nawo, nombejo ŵatemi pepala moŵa gaŵili.
So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there for two days.
41 Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji nnope ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu ligongo lya maloŵe gao.
And many more believed because of his 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.”
So they said to the woman, “It is no longer because of yoʋr report that we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
43 Pagapite moŵa gaŵili Che Yesu ŵausile sooni ku Galilaya.
After 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 had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.)
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 came to Galilee, the Galileans received him because they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also had gone to the feast.
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.
Once more Jesus went to Cana of Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in 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 from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for his son was about to die.
48 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankwakulupilila Akunnungu pangaiwona imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka!”
Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will certainly not believe.”
49 Jwankulu jo ŵanjanjile, “Ambuje, chondechonde tujaule mwanangu akanaŵe kuwa.”
The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my boy dies.”
50 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njauleje, mwanagwenu chalame.” Mundu jo ŵalikulupilile liloŵe liŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu ni ŵajawile.
Jesus said to him, “Go; yoʋr son will live.” And the man believed what Jesus said to him and went on his way.
51 Paŵaliji nkutuluka, ŵasimene ni achikapolo ŵao ni ŵansalile kuti mwanache jwao alamile.
As he was going back down to his house, his servants met him and told him, “Yoʋr son is alive.”
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 get better. 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 this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Yoʋr son will live.” So he believed, along with his entire 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 after coming from Judea to Galilee.
