John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John
Farisifoɔ no tee sɛ nnipa pii rekɔ Yesu nkyɛn ama wabɔ wɔn asu sene sɛdeɛ nnipa kɔ Yohane nkyɛn.
2 (although Jesus himself did not immerse, but his disciples),
Nso na Yesu ankasa deɛ, ɔmmɔ asu, na mmom, nʼasuafoɔ no na wɔbɔ asu.
3 he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
Yesu tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔfirii Yudea sane kɔɔ Galilea.
4 And it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.
Ɔrekɔ no, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa Samaria.
5 So he comes to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Ɛbɛyɛ owigyinaeɛ no, na Yesu abɛn Samaria kuro bi a wɔfrɛ no Sikar a ɛbɛn asase bi a Yakob de maa ne ba Yosef no ho.
6 And Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied from the journey, thus was sitting on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Ɛhɔ na na Yakob abura wɔ. Esiane ɔbrɛ a na Yesu abrɛ enti, ɔtenaa abura no ho sɛ ɔregye nʼahome. Na saa ɛberɛ no bɛyɛ awia nnɔndumienu.
7 A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
Ankyɛre, Samariani baa bi baa hɔ bɛtoo nsuo, na Yesu srɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma me nsuo no bi nnom.”
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city so that they might buy food.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Yesu asuafoɔ no kɔ kuro no mu kɔtɔ aduane.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How do thou, being Jewish, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman, for Jews do not associate with Samaritans?
Samariani baa no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me nwanwa sɛ wo a woyɛ Yudani rebisa nsuo afiri me a meyɛ Samariani nkyɛn.” Na Yudafoɔ ne Samariafoɔ nni hwee yɛ.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou had known the gift of God, and who it is who says to thee, Give me to drink, thou would have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Sɛ wonim akyɛdeɛ a Onyankopɔn de ma onipa anaa onipa ko a ɔresrɛ wo nsuo yi a, anka wobɛsrɛ no, na wama wo nkwa nsuo.”
11 The woman says to him, Sir, thou have not even a container, and the well is deep. From where then have thou the living water?
Ɔbaa no bisaa sɛ, “Owura, wonni ahoma, nni bokiti, abura yi mu nso dɔ yie, na ɛhe na wobɛnya saa nkwa nsuo no afiri?
12 Are thou greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his livestock?
Woyɛ ɔkɛseɛ sene yɛn agya Yakob a ɔtuu abura yi maa yɛn na ɔne ne mma, ne nnwan ne nʼanantwie nom mu nsuo bi no anaa?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Every man who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Obiara a ɔnom saa nsuo yi bi no, osukɔm de no bio,
15 The woman says to him, Give me this water, sir, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw out.
Ɔbaa no srɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, ma me saa nkwa nsuo yi bi na osukɔm anne me bio, na daa mantwa kwan ammɛto nsuo.”
16 Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔfrɛ wo kunu na wo ne no mmra.”
17 The woman answered and said to him, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Thou said correctly, I have no husband.
Ɔbaa no buaa no sɛ, “Me wura, menni kunu.” Yesu nso kaa sɛ, “Asɛm a woaka no yɛ nokorɛ sɛ wonni kunu no.
18 For thou have had five husbands, and he whom thou now have is not thy husband. This thou have said true.
Woaware mmarima baanum agyae na ɔbarima a wo ne no wɔ hɔ seesei no mpo, ɔnyɛ wo kunu.”
19 The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that thou are a prophet.
Ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Owura, mehunu sɛ woyɛ odiyifoɔ.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.
Yɛn agyanom Samariafoɔ somm Onyankopɔn wɔ saa bepɔ yi so, nanso mo Yudafoɔ deɛ, moka sɛ Yerusalem nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsom Onyankopɔn.”
21 Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour is coming when neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem will ye worship the Father.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Merema woate aseɛ sɛ berɛ bi bɛba a nnipa rensom Agya no wɔ saa bepɔ yi so anaa Yerusalem.
22 Ye worship what ye do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
Mo Samariafoɔ nnim deɛ mosom no. Nanso, yɛn Yudafoɔ deɛ, yɛnim deɛ yɛsom no, ɛfiri sɛ, Yudafoɔ so na nkwagyeɛ nam ba.
23 But an hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for also the Father seeks such kind who worship him.
Nna bi reba, na mpo aba dada sɛ, nokorɛ asomfoɔ bɛsɔre Agya no wɔ Honhom ne nokorɛ mu. Yeinom ne asomfoɔ a Agya no hwehwɛ.
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Onyankopɔn yɛ Honhom, na wɔn a wɔsom no no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsom no Honhom ne nokorɛ mu.”
25 The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When that man comes he will declare all things to us.
Ɔbaa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Menim sɛ Mesia no a wɔfrɛ no Kristo no bɛba, na sɛ ɔba a, ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn biribiara mu.”
26 Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am the man.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me a me ne wo rekasa yi, mene Kristo no.”
27 And upon this his disciples came. And they marveled that he spoke with the woman, yet no man said, What seek thou? or, Why do thou speak with her?
Yesu ano siiɛ pɛ na nʼasuafoɔ no sane baeɛ. Ɛyɛɛ asuafoɔ no nwanwa sɛ wɔbɛtoo Yesu sɛ ɔne ɔbaa bi redi nkɔmmɔ. Nanso, wɔn mu biara ammisa ɔbaa no deɛ ɔrehwehwɛ ne Yesu nso deɛ enti a ɔne saa ɔbaa no redi nkɔmmɔ no.
28 The woman therefore left her water pot, and departed into the city, and says to the men,
Afei, ɔbaa yi gyaa nʼasuhina no hɔ sane kɔɔ kuro no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfoɔ sɛ,
29 Come, see a man who told me all, as many things as I did. Is not this the Christ?
“Mommra mmɛhwɛ ɔbarima bi a waka kɔkoam nneɛma a mayɛ akyerɛ me! Anaa, ɔno ne Agyenkwa no?”
30 They went out of the city, and came to him.
Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm yi nyinaa bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ Yesu.
31 In the meanwhile the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Afei, asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, didi.”
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mewɔ aduane a medi a monnim ho hwee.”
33 The disciples therefore said to each other, Did any man bring him to eat?
Ɛmaa asuafoɔ no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Obi abrɛ no aduane bi anaa?”
34 Jesus says to them, My food is that I do the will of him who sent me, and may finish his work.
Yesu buaa sɛ, “Mʼaduane ne sɛ meyɛ deɛ ɔsomaa me no apɛdeɛ na mewie dwuma a ɔde maa me sɛ memmɛdi no.
35 Do ye not say, There are still four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are already white for harvest.
Moka sɛ, ‘Abosome anan mu, otwaberɛ bɛduru.’ Mommue mo ani nhwɛ mo ho nhyia, na mobɛhunu sɛ aburoo ahoa a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, otwaberɛ aduru!
36 And he who reaps receives a wage and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Otwafoɔ nya nʼakatua a ɛsɛ no na ɔboaboa deɛ watwa no ano ma nkwa a ɛnsa da. Yei ma deɛ ɔdua ne deɛ ɔtwa no nyinaa ani gye. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, One is who sows, and another who reaps.
Ɛyɛ nokorɛ pefee sɛ, ‘Obi dua na obi twa.’
38 I sent you to reap what ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.
Mesomaa mo kɔɔ baabi sɛ monkɔtwa deɛ ɛnyɛ mo na moduaeɛ. Nnipa foforɔ na wɔduaeɛ na mo deɛ, moanya mfasoɔ afiri adwuma a wɔyɛ no mu.”
39 And many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all, as many things as I did.
Esiane adanseɛ a Samariani baa no dii wɔ Yesu ho sɛ, “Waka biribiara a mayɛ akyerɛ me” no enti, kuro no mu hɔfoɔ pii gyee Yesu dii sɛ ɔno ne Mesaia no.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him they asked him to remain with them, and he remained there two days.
Enti, ɛberɛ a Samariafoɔ no baa Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔsrɛɛ sɛ ɔntena wɔn nkyɛn. Ɔpenee so dii nnanu wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
41 And many more believed because of his word.
Ne nsɛm no enti nnipa bebree gyee no diiɛ.
42 And they said to the woman, We no longer believe because of thy speaking, for we have heard ourselves, and know that this really is the Savior of the world, the Christ.
Nnipa a wɔgyee no dii no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ adanseɛ a wobɛdiiɛ no enti na yɛgye no di, na mmom nsɛm a yɛate sɛ ɔka no enti na yɛagye no adi. Na yɛnim sɛ ɔno ne ewiase Agyenkwa no.”
43 And after the two days he departed from there and went into Galilee.
Nnanu akyi no, Yesu firii kuro no mu kɔɔ Galilea.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own fatherland.
Ɛwom sɛ na Yesu aka sɛ, odiyifoɔ biara nni animuonyam wɔ ne ɔman mu deɛ, nanso
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
ɛsiane deɛ Galileafoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem Twam Afahyɛ berɛ no mu no hunuu deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ no enti, ɔduruu Galilea no, wɔgyee no.
46 Jesus therefore came again to Cana of Galilee where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Ɔsane kɔɔ Kana a ɛwɔ Galilea, faako a ɔmaa nsuo danee nsã hɔ no bio. Ɔwɔ hɔ no, ɔhene ɔsomfoɔ panin bi a na ne ba yare wɔ Kapernaum no
47 This man having heard that Jesus comes out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was going to die.
tee Yesu nka sɛ ɔfiri Yudea aba Galilea hɔ. Saa ɔbarima yi kɔɔ Kana kɔhunuu Yesu, srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔne no nkɔ Kapernaum nkɔsa ne ba a na ɔyare a ɔreyɛ awu no yadeɛ mma no.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye may see signs and wonders, ye will, no, not believe.
Yesu kaa sɛ, “Menyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nkyerɛ mo ansa na moagye me adi anaa?”
49 The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
Ɔsomfoɔ panin no de ahoyera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, ma yɛnkɔ ntɛm, anyɛ saa a, me ba no bɛwu.”
50 Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and he departed.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ efie, wo ba no ho ayɛ no den!” Ɔsomfoɔ panin no gyee asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no dii na ɔsiim sɛ ɔrekɔ efie.
51 And as he was now going down, his bondmen met him and reported, saying, Thy boy lives.
Ɔnam ɛkwan so no, nʼasomfoɔ bi bɛhyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ne ba no ho ayɛ no den.
52 So he inquired of them the hour in which he fared well. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
Ɔbarima no bisaa nʼasomfoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na ne ho yɛɛ no den?” Asomfoɔ no buaa no sɛ, “Nnora awia bɛyɛ dɔnko berɛ mu na huraeɛnini a na abɔ no no gyaeeɛ.”
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives. And he himself believed and his whole house.
Ɔbarima no tee asɛm no pɛ na ɔkaee sɛ ɛyɛ saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ na wo ba no ho ayɛ no den no.” Yei maa ɔbarima no ne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa gyee Yesu diiɛ.
54 This again is a second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Yei ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛtɔ so mmienu a Yesu firii Yudea baa Galilea no ɔyɛeɛ.
