John 4
1 When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
Tua ahikom Jesus in John sang in nungzui tam koi zaw a, tuiphumna pia hi, ci thu Pharisee te in zazo uh hi, ci Topa in a heak ciang in,
2 (although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),
Jesus Ama vateak in tuiphumna pia ngawl hi, ahihang a nungzui te bek in pia hi,
3 He left Judea and returned to Galilee.
Judah ngam nusia in Galilee ngam sung ah paikik uh hi.
4 Now He had to pass through Samaria.
Taciang Jesus sia Samaria ngamsung a kantan ngawl phamaw hi.
5 So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
Sychar a kici, Samaria ngam khuapi khat, Jacob in a tapa Joseph a piak lo ngam nai na ah Jesus theng hi.
6 Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Tua mun ah Jacob tuikhuk om hi. Jesus sia a khualhaw na toi ahikom in, tuikhuk hui ah to hi: tua hun sia sun nai sawm le nai ni pawl a hihi.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
Samaria numei khat tuitoai tu in hongpai a: Jesus in a kung ah, Ka dawn tu hong pia tan, ci hi.
8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
Banghangziam cile a nungzui te khuapi sung ah an lei tu in pai uh hi.
9 “You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
Taciang in Samaria numei nu in, nang sia Judah mi na hi a, kei sia Samaria numei ka hihi, bangbang in tui dawn tu hong ngen ni ziam? ci hi. Banghangziam cile Judah te in Samaria te taw ki pawlkhawm ngei ngawl uh hi.
10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
Jesus in a kung ah hibang in ci hi, Pathian i letsong le nangma hong paupui sia kua ci he le te, Ama kung ah, tui dawn tu hongpia tan, ci in ngen zawsap tu ni hi; taciang Ama in nuntakna tui hongpia tu hi, ci in zo hi.
11 “Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?
Numei nu in, Topa awng, tuitoai natu le bangma na nei bua a, tuikhuk zong thuk mama si hi: koisungpan tua nuntakna tui nei tu ni ziam?
12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”
Nangma in ka pa uh Jacob sang in lianzaw ni ziam? ama in tuikhuk hong pia a, ama tatak ma, a tate le nganno te zong in dawn hi, ci hi.
13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
Jesus in a kung ah, A kuamapo hi tui a dawn peuma dangtak kik tu hi:
15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
Numei nu in, Topa awng, dangtak ngawl tu le hi mun ah tuitoai pai kul ngawl tu in, hi tui hong pia tan, ci hi.
16 Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
Jesus in, Pai in, na pasal sam tan a hi mun ah hongpai tan, ci hi.
17 “I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.
Numei nu in, pasal ka nei bua hi, ci in zo hi. Jesus in, Pasal nei ngawl khi hi na ci sia pha hi:
18 In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
Banghangziam cile pasal nga na nei zo hi; taciang tu in na nei sia zong na pasal hi ngawl hi: tua thu ah a mantak in na son hi, ci hi.
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
Numei nu in, Topa awng, nangma sia kamsang ni hi, ci hong he khi hi.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
Ka pa te uh in hi mual tung ah biakpia uh hi; taciang note in Jerusalem ah na biak tu uh a hihi, na ci uh hi, ci hi.
21 “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
Jesus in ama tung ah, Numei awng, hong um tan, Pa sia hi mualtung ah ahizong, Jerusalem ah ahizong, na biak ngawl uh hun hong theng tu hi.
22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
Na biak uh sia bang ziam, ci na he bua uh hi: kote in bang bia khu ziam, ci ka he uh hi: banghangziam cile ngupna sia Judah mite kung pan in hongpai hi.
23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.
Ahihang a mantak in a bia te in, Pa sia thaa le thutak taw a biak tu uh hun hong theng tu hi, tu in tua hun hong theng zo hi: banghangziam cile Pa in tabang in Ama a bia te zong hi.
24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
Pathian sia Thaa a hihi: taciang a bia peuma in thaa le thutak taw a biak tu uh a hihi, ci hi.
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
Numei nu in a kung ah, Christ a kici Messiah sia hongpai tu a: hongpai ciang in, Ama in na theampo hong son tu hi, ci hi.
26 Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
Jesus in, Na kung ah nang hong paupui sia, tua pa ka hihi, ci hi.
27 Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
Taciang in a nungzui te hongpai uh a, numei nu taw a ki paupui sia lamdangsa mama uh ahihang: kuama in bang zong ni ziam? a hibale, banghang in numei nu taw ki paupui ni ziam? a ci bua uh hi.
28 Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
Tua numei nu in a tuibeal nusia in, khuasung ah pai a, mite tung ah,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
Ka sep theampo hong son pa sia pai vun a, en vun: hi sia in Christ hi ngawl ziam? ci hi.
30 So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
Tabang in khuasung pan pusuak uh a, Jesus kung ah hongpai hon uh hi.
31 Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
Tua laitak in a nungzui te in, Syapa awng, an ne in, ci uh hi.
32 But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
Ahihang ama in, Note i heak ngawl an neak tu ka nei hi, ci hi.
33 So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
Tua ahikom khatpo in neak tu puak a hi tam? ci in a nungzui te khat le khat ki dong uh hi.
34 Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
Jesus in amate kung ah, Keima hong sawlpa deina bang sep tu le Ama nasep ka zaw tu sia keima an a hihi.
35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.
Tu zo tha li ciang in anlak hun hong theng tu hi, ci hi ngawl nu ziam? dak vun a, lo te en vun; amate ang zo a, anlak hun zo hi, kong ci hi.
36 Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Taciang anla peuma in sep thaman nga tu a, tawntung nuntakna atu in thing nga te kaikhawm tu hi: taciang thaici a poai te le anla te lungdam khawm tu uh hi. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
Khat in thaici poai a, a dang khat in anla hi, a ci sia a thuman a hihi.
38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”
Na sep ngawl na uh lo sung ah anla tu in kong sawl hi: midang te in seam uh a, taciang midang te sepnasa sung ah note na tum uh hi, ci hi.
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
Numei nu in, ka sep theampo Ama in hong son hi, ci in son ahikom, Samaria khua sung mi tampi te in Jesus um uh hi.
40 So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
A kung ah Samaria mite hongpai ciang in, amate taw om tu in kun uh a: tua mun ah ni ni sung taam hi.
41 And many more believed because of His message.
Jesus Ama kam vateak hang in a um mihing hong tam seseam hi;
42 They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”
Taciang numei nu kung ah, tu in nangma son bek taw hi ngawl in, koma vateak in ka zak uh hu in um khu hi, taciang Ama sia leitung ngum tu Christ a hihi, ci ka he uh hi, ci uh hi.
43 After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
Ni ni zawkciang in, Jesus tua mun pan in pusuak a, Galilee ah pai hi.
44 Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
Banghangziam cile Jesus ama vateak in, kamsang sia ama ngam ah ki zakta ngawl hi, ci in tettipang hi.
45 Yet when He arrived, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.
Galilee ah hongpai ciang in, Galilee mite in Ama sang uh hi, banghangziam cile Jerusalem poai ah amate pai uh a: a sep theampo mu uh hi.
46 So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
Tua ahikom Jesus in tui pan sapittui a suasak na mun, Galilee huam Cana khua ah paikik hi. Tua khua ah ulian khat om a, a tapa Capernaum khua ah a cina hi.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
Jesus sia Judah ngam pan in pusuak a, Galilee ah om hi, ci a zak ciang in, a kung ah pai hi, Capernaum khua ah pai in, a tapa damsak tu in ngen hi: banghangziam cile a tapa thi dektak hi.
48 Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
Jesus in ama kung ah, Musakna te le nalamdang te na mu bua uh le, na um bua uh hi, ci hi.
49 “Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
Tua ulian pa in, Topa awng, ka tapa a thi ma hongpai tan, ci hi.
50 “Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.
Jesus in ama kung ah, Va pai tan, na tapa nungta hi, ci hi. Tua pa in Jesus kammal um in pai hi.
51 And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
A pai laitak in, a naseam te in dawntua a, na tapa nungta hi, ci son hi.
52 So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”
Ama in a tapa bang hun laitak in damzaw ziam, ci dong hi. A naseam te in sun nai khat pawl in a cisa dam hi, ci uh hi.
53 Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed.
Tua hun sia Jesus in, Na tapa nungta hi, a ci lian laitak hi, ci a pa in he hi: taciang ama vateak le a innkuan bup in um uh hi.
54 This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
Hi thu sia Judah ngam pan in Galilee huam ah Jesus a paizawk nalamdang a vawt ni vei na a hihi.
