Johana 4
1 Jo-Farisai nowinjo ni joma Yesu ne oseloko obedo jopuonjre, kendo obatiso ne ngʼeny moloyo jopuonjre Johana,
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 kata obedo ni Yesu owuon ne ok batiso ji, to jopuonjrene ema ne timo kamano.
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Kane Ruoth owinjo wachni, noa Judea mochako odok Galili.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 To nochune ni nyaka okadh e piny Samaria.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Kuom mano, nochopo e dala moro e piny Samaria miluongo ni Sukar, mane ni machiegni gi puodho mane Jakobo omiyo Josef wuode.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Soko Jakobo ne ni kanyo, kendo Yesu ne koro ool gi wuoth, omiyo nobet piny e dir sokono. Ne en kar sa auchiel mar odiechiengʼ.
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 E sechego chi Samaria moro nobiro umbo pi, mi Yesu nowachone niya, “Yie imiya pi amodhi.”
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 (Mano noyudo ka jopuonjrene osedhi Sukar mondo ongʼiew chiemo.)
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Chi Samaria-no nowachone niya, “In ja-Yahudi, an to an chi Samaria. Ere kaka ikwaya pi modho?” (Donge ingʼeyo ni jo-Yahudi ok winjre gi jo-Samaria.)
"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 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ka dine ingʼe mich Nyasaye kendo ingʼe jal makwayi pi mondo omodhi, to dikwaye pi momiyi pi mar ngima.”
"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 Dhakono nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ, ionge gi gima inyalo tuomogo pi, kendo sokoni bende tut. Pi ngimano to inyalo yud kanye?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Iparo ni iduongʼ moloyo Jakobo kwarwa mane omiyowa sokoni, kendo nomodho pige en owuon kaachiel gi yawuote, gi jambe kod dhoge?”
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 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ngʼato ka ngʼato mamodho pigni riyo biro chako loye,
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Dhakono nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ, yie imiyae pigno mondo riyo kik chak loya, kendo kik asik ka achandora gi biro ka pile pile mondo aom pi.”
"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 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Dhi iluong chwori eka iduogi.”
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Nodwoke niya, “Aonge gi dichwo.” Yesu nowachone niya, “In kare kuom wacho ni ionge gi dichwo.
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Adiera en ni isebedo gi chwo abich, kendo ngʼat makoro in-go sani bende ok chwori. Gima isewachono en adier.”
"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 Dhakono nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ, nenorena ni in janabi.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Kwerewa ne lemo ewi godni, to un jo-Yahudi to uwacho ka uramo ni Jerusalem ema nyaka walamie.”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Nyarwa, yie koda; ndalo biro ma ok unulam Wuoro ewi godni kata ei Jerusalem.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Un jo-Samaria ulamo gima ukia, nimar warruok aa kuom jo-Yahudi.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Kata kamano kinde biro, kendo osechopo, ma joma lemo gadier nolam Wuoro e yo ma Roho dwaro kendo gadiera, joma lamo kamano ema Wuoro dwaro.
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 Nyasaye en Roho, omiyo joma lame nyaka lame e yo ma Roho dwaro kendo gadiera.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Dhakono nowacho niya, “Angʼeyo ni in Mesia” (miluongo ni Kristo) “mane onego bi kendo ka obiro, to enonyiswa tiend weche duto.”
"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 Eka Yesu nonyise ratiro niya, “An ma awuoyo kodini An e En.”
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 E sechego jopuonjrene noduogo, kendo ne giwuoro kane giyude kowuoyo gi dhako. To onge ngʼama nopenjo niya, “Angʼo midwaro kuom dhakoni?” kata niya, “Iwuoyo kode nangʼo?”
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 Eka dhakono noweyo dapige kanyo, kendo nowuok odok dala mi owachone ji niya,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Biuru uneye ngʼama osenyisa gik moko duto ma asetimo. Donge jalni dibed Kristo?”
"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 Joma odak e dalano duto nowuok kadhi ire.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 To e sechego jopuonjrene nosiko kajiwe niya, “Rabi, chamie gimoro.”
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 To nowachonegi niya, “An gi chiemo ma achamo ma ukia gimoro amora kuome.”
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Eka jopuonjrene nowacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Dibed ni ngʼato osekelone chiemo?”
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Chiemba en timo dwach Jal mane oora kendo tieko tichne.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Donge uwacho ni, ‘Odongʼ dweche angʼwen to ndalo keyo chopo’? Awachonu ni utingʼ wengeu malo urang puothe! Gisechiek giromo keyo.
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 Kata mana sani ngʼat ma keyo ichulo pokne, kendo ochoko olembe mochiek ne ngima mochwere, mondo omi jachwoyo, kaachiel gi jakeyo, obed mamor kanyakla. (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 Mana kaka ngero mawacho ni, ‘Ngʼato achiel chwoyo, to ngʼato machielo keyo’ en adier.
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 Ne aorou mondo uka gima ne ok utiyone. Jomoko nono osetiyo tich matek moloyo, to un useyudo konyruok kuom tichgi matek.”
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 Jo-Samaria mangʼeny moa e dalano noyie kuom Yesu nikech neno mane dhakono otimonigi kowacho niya, “Ne onyisa gik moko duto ma asetimo.”
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 Kuom mano, ka jo-Samaria nobiro ir Yesu, negisaye mondo omed bet kodgi, mi nobet kodgi kuom ndalo ariyo.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Omiyo ji mangʼeny moko bende noyie kuom Yesu nikech weche mane owachonegi.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Negiwachone dhakono niya, “Koro wayie, ok nikech weche mane iwacho kende; to wasewinje gi itwa wawegi, kendo wangʼeyo gadier ni jalni en Jawar mar piny.”
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 Bangʼ ndalo ariyogo, nowuok modhi Galili.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 (Mano noyudo ka Yesu owuon nosewacho ni janabi ok mi duongʼ e pinygi owuon.)
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Kane ochopo Galili, jo-Galili norwake. Ne giseneno gik moko duto mane osetimo Jerusalem chiengʼ Sap Pasaka, nimar gin bende ne gin kuno.
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 Nochako olimo dala mar Kana, manie piny Galili, kama ne oloke pi divai. To ne nitie jatelo moro ma wuode ne tuo Kapernaum.
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 Kane ngʼatni owinjo ni Yesu osechopo Galili koa Judea, nodhi ire mosaye mondo odhi ochang wuode mane chiegni tho.
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 Yesu nowachone niya, “Angʼeyo ni ka ok uneno honni gi ranyisi, to ok ubi yie.”
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Jatelono nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ, yie idhi koda kapok nyathina otho.”
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo, wuodi dhi bedo mangima.” Ngʼatno norwako wach mane Yesu owachoneno, mi noa odhi.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Kane oyudo pod en e yo odok dalane, jotichne noromone gi wach ni wuode koro ngima.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Kane ononogi mondo ongʼe ni en sa mane mane wuode ochangoe, negiwachone niya, “Midhusi nyoro oweye kar sa abiriyo.”
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Eka wuon nongʼeyo ni mano e sa nogono mane Yesu owachone niya, “Wuodi dhi bedo mangima.” Kuom mano, en kaachiel gi joode duto ne giyie kuom Yesu.
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 Mano e hono mar ariyo mane Yesu otimo, ka nodonjo Galili koa Judea.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
