Joni 4
1 Awo Jesu nakaziba kuti ba Falisi bakamvwa kuti wakalikuba abasikwiya biingi mbakali kubbabaatizya kwinda Joni
When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John,
2 (nekuba kuti welwakwe mwini tensi wakali kubbabbatizya pe, pesi basikwiya bakwe mbabo bakali kubbabbatizya),
(Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples, )
3 wakazwa mu Judiya wabweda lubo ku Galilaya.
He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
4 Pesi chakalelede kuti ayinde mu Samaliya.
And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.
5 Elyo wakasika mumunzi wamu Samaliya utegwa Sychal afwifwi achipanzi chanyika eyo Jakobo njakali wapa mwanakwe Josefa.
He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Chikala cha Jakobo chakaliwo. Jesu wakali wakatala kuzwa mulwendo lwakwe mpawo wakakkala kumbali achikala. Lyakali sikati.
Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Umwi mukayintu mu Samaliya wakaza kuzoteka manzi, elyo Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Ndipe manzi nwe”.
There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.
8 Nkambo basikwiya bakwe bakali banjila mumunzi kuyowula kulya.
For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.
9 Mpawo mukayintu mu Samaliya wakamwambila kuti, “Chikonzeka buti, kuti webo nomu Juda undikumbile chakunywa imebo ndemukayintu mu Samaliya”. nkambo ma Juda tabakwe bulidilano pe ama Samaliya.
Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.
10 Jesu wakasandula wati, “anoli walizi chipo cha Leza, akuti ngwani ukukumbila manzi, wayinokumbila nduwe, nkekupa manzi mawumi”.
Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 Mukayintu, wakati kulinguwe, “Yomwalumi, tokwe chakutesya pe mpawo chikala nchilamfu. Ani mpo ulaajanayi ayo manzi abuumi?
The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?
12 Tooli mupati, mbubo na, kwinda taata Jakobo, wakatupa chikala akunwa kuli nchicho lwakwe mwini, abana bakwe ambono zyabo?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesu wakasandula wati kulinguwe, “woonse unywa manzi amuchikala echi uyoba anyota lubo. Kufumbwa unywa manzi nginjomupa takoyoba a nyota limbi.
Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;
15 Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, ndipe manzi ayo kuchitilakuti nsikabi anyota akuti nsizoboli lubo kuzoteka manzi awa.”
The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “koya, ukite mulumako, mpawo ubolano”
Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “nsikwe mulumi pe”. Jesu wakati, “waamba kasimpe kuti nsijisi mulumi pe”.
The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:
18 Nkambo wakala baalumi musanu, ooyo ngolawe lino temulumako pe. Nzwawamba zilisinizizye.”
For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.
19 Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “mwami ndabona kuti ulimusinsimi.
The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Mataata esu bakali kukomba muchilundu echi pesi muti Jelusalema mbobusena bantu nkubelede kukombela.”
Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.
21 Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “yomukayintu ndisyome, chindi chilasika awo nemutakakombe Taata kutali muchilundu echi nabi mu Jelusalemu.
Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.
22 Mukomba nchomutazi. Swebo tukomba nchetuzi, nkambo lufutuko luzwa kuba Juda.
You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.
23 Nekubaboobo chindi chilasika, nchenchichechi, awo bakomba mukasimpe mpobayomukomba Taata mumuya amubwini, nkambo Taata mbembabo bantu mbayandula kuti babe basikumukomba.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.
24 Leza ngumuya, aboobo bantu bamukomba belede kumukomba mumuya amubwini”.
God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.
25 Mukayintu wakamwambila kuti, “ndilizi kuti Mesiya uyobuza( ooyo utegwa Kilisito)”. Nazosika uzotupandulwida zyonse.
The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ). Therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “ndendime nguwe oyu uwambula ayebo”.
Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
27 Aleecho chindi basikwiya bakwe bakaboola. Elyo bakagamba kuti nkamboyi nambula amukayintu, pesi taakwe wakamba kuti, “uyandayi?” na kuti “Nkamboyi nambula awe?”
And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?
28 Awo mukayintu ooyu wakasiya noongo yakwe yamanzi, wabweda kumunzi, wakwambila bantu,
The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:
29 “kamuza, muzobone mwalumi wandambila zintu zyonse nzendakachita. Oyu tekujana waba Kilisito na, nkujana waba nguwe?”
Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?
30 Bakazwa mumunzi baza kulinguwe.
They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.
31 Achindi nchichecho, basikwiya bakwe bakali kumukombelezya kuti “Rabbi, lya”
In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.
32 Pesi wakati kulinguwe, “Ime ndakulya nkomutazi atala ankuko.”
But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.
33 Awo basikwiya bakakazyania akati kabo, “Takwe muntu wamwetela kulya pe, mpali na?”
The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?
34 Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “kulya kwangu nkuchita luyando lwayoyo wakandituma akumaninsizya mulimu wakwe.
Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.
35 Sa tamwambi kuti, 'kuchili myezi yoone nekutakabe goloka'? Ndokumwambila kuti, amunyampule meso anu mulange myunda, nkambo yabizwa kale yelela kutebulwa!
Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.
36 Oyo utebula utambula chakufola akubungika michelo yabumi butamani, kuchitila kuti oyo ubyala ayooyo utebula bakakondwe antomwe. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Mulichechi kalasinizya kambyo kati, “umwi ulabyala utebula ngumbi”.
For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.
38 Ndakamutuma kuyotebula nchemwakata lima. Bamwi bakalima, inywe mwakanjila mumilimu yabo.
I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.
39 Bantu biingi bamu Samaliya bamumunzi oyu bakamusyoma nkambo ka mbakalungulula mukayintu wakali kupa bukamboni, “wandambila zyonse nzendakachita”.
Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.
40 Bantu bamu Samaliya nibakasika kulinguwe, bakamu kumbila kuti akkale aboo, wakakkala mumunzi oyu kwamazuba aabili.
So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.
41 Kwakaba bambi biingibakamusyoma nkambo kajwi lyakwe.
And many more believed in him because of his own word.
42 Bakati kumukayintu ooyu, “Tatuchisyomi nkambo kanzwawamba pe, pesi nkambo swebo tobeni twalimvwida, mpawo twaziba kuti nsonzyo oyu mufutuli wanyika”
And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
43 Nakiinda mazuba aya obile oko waya ku Galilaya.
Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 Nkambo Jesu lwakwe mwini wakamba kuti musinsimi takwe bulemu muchisi mwazwa.
For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Nakasika mu Galilaya, bantu bamu Galilaya bakamutambula. Bakali bazibona zyonse nzyakali wachita mu Jelusalemu chindi chapobwe, nkambo abalabo bakaliko kupobwe
And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.
46 Alimwi wakaboola lubo ku Kenani mu Galilaya, oko nkwaka sandula manzi kuba wayini. Elyo kwakali umwi sichuno ulemekwa wakala mwana wakali kuchiswa mu Kapenawume.
He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.
47 Nakamvwa kuti Jesu wasika mu Galilaya kuzwa mu Judiya, wakaya kuli Jesu akumukumbila kuti aakaponie mwana wakwe, wakali wamba kufwa.
He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Jesu mpawo wakati kuli kulinguwe, “Ado mubone zitondezyo azigambyo, tamukosyoma”.
Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.
49 Ooyu sichuno wakamwambila kuti, “Mwami, boola natana fwa mwanangu”.
The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.
50 Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “kooy. Mwanako ulapona”. Ooyu mwalumi wakasyoma majwi Jesu ngakamba kulinguwe, mpawo wakenda.
Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.
51 Nakachili kuyobwenda wakaswanana aabalanda bakwe, bakamwambila kuti, mwanakwe muponi.
And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.
52 Elyo wakababuzya chindi mwanakwe nakatalika kumvwa kabotu. Bakamwambila kuti, “jilo sikati nakapona”
He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
53 Mpawo wisi wakayibalukwa kuti nchechindi awo Jesu, “Mwana wako wapona.” Elyo we lwakwe mwini abanganda yakwe bakasyoma.
The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 Echi chakaba chitondezyo chabili echo Jesu nchakachita nakazwa mu Judiya kaya mu Galilay.
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.
