John 4
1 When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
yīśuḥ svayaṁ nāmajjayat kevalaṁ tasya śiṣyā amajjayat kintu yohano'dhikaśiṣyān sa karoti majjayati ca,
2 (although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),
phirūśina imāṁ vārttāmaśṛṇvan iti prabhuravagatya
3 He left Judea and returned to Galilee.
yihūdīyadeśaṁ vihāya puna rgālīlam āgat|
4 Now He had to pass through Samaria.
tataḥ śomiroṇapradeśasya madyena tena gantavye sati
5 So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
yākūb nijaputrāya yūṣaphe yāṁ bhūmim adadāt tatsamīpasthāyi śomiroṇapradeśasya sukhār nāmnā vikhyātasya nagarasya sannidhāvupāsthāt|
6 Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
tatra yākūbaḥ prahirāsīt; tadā dvitīyayāmavelāyāṁ jātāyāṁ sa mārge śramāpannastasya praheḥ pārśve upāviśat|
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
etarhi kācit śomiroṇīyā yoṣit toyottolanārtham tatrāgamat
8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
tadā śiṣyāḥ khādyadravyāṇi kretuṁ nagaram agacchan|
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.)
yīśuḥ śomiroṇīyāṁ tāṁ yoṣitam vyāhārṣīt mahyaṁ kiñcit pānīyaṁ pātuṁ dehi| kintu śomiroṇīyaiḥ sākaṁ yihūdīyalokā na vyavāharan tasmāddhetoḥ sākathayat śomiroṇīyā yoṣitadahaṁ tvaṁ yihūdīyosi kathaṁ mattaḥ pānīyaṁ pātum icchasi?
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.”
tato yīśuravadad īśvarasya yaddānaṁ tatkīdṛk pānīyaṁ pātuṁ mahyaṁ dehi ya itthaṁ tvāṁ yācate sa vā ka iti cedajñāsyathāstarhi tamayāciṣyathāḥ sa ca tubhyamamṛtaṁ toyamadāsyat|
11 “Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?
tadā sā sīmantinī bhāṣitavati, he maheccha prahirgambhīro bhavato nīrottolanapātraṁ nāstī ca tasmāt tadamṛtaṁ kīlālaṁ kutaḥ prāpsyasi?
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?”
yosmabhyam imamandhūṁ dadau, yasya ca parijanā gomeṣādayaśca sarvve'sya praheḥ pānīyaṁ papuretādṛśo yosmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣo yākūb tasmādapi bhavān mahān kiṁ?
13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
tato yīśurakathayad idaṁ pānīyaṁ saḥ pivati sa punastṛṣārtto bhaviṣyati,
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.”
tadā sā vanitākathayat he maheccha tarhi mama punaḥ pīpāsā yathā na jāyate toyottolanāya yathātrāgamanaṁ na bhavati ca tadarthaṁ mahyaṁ tattoyaṁ dehī|
16 Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
tato yīśūravadadyāhi tava patimāhūya sthāne'trāgaccha|
17 “I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.
sā vāmāvadat mama patirnāsti| yīśuravadat mama patirnāstīti vākyaṁ bhadramavocaḥ|
18 In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
yatastava pañca patayobhavan adhunā tu tvayā sārddhaṁ yastiṣṭhati sa tava bharttā na vākyamidaṁ satyamavādiḥ|
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
tadā sā mahilā gaditavati he maheccha bhavān eko bhaviṣyadvādīti buddhaṁ mayā|
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
asmākaṁ pitṛlokā etasmin śiloccaye'bhajanta, kintu bhavadbhirucyate yirūśālam nagare bhajanayogyaṁ sthānamāste|
21 “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
yīśuravocat he yoṣit mama vākye viśvasihi yadā yūyaṁ kevalaśaile'smin vā yirūśālam nagare piturbhajanaṁ na kariṣyadhve kāla etādṛśa āyāti|
22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
yūyaṁ yaṁ bhajadhve taṁ na jānītha, kintu vayaṁ yaṁ bhajāmahe taṁ jānīmahe, yato yihūdīyalokānāṁ madhyāt paritrāṇaṁ jāyate|
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.
kintu yadā satyabhaktā ātmanā satyarūpeṇa ca piturbhajanaṁ kariṣyante samaya etādṛśa āyāti, varam idānīmapi vidyate; yata etādṛśo bhatkān pitā ceṣṭate|
24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
īśvara ātmā; tatastasya ye bhaktāstaiḥ sa ātmanā satyarūpeṇa ca bhajanīyaḥ|
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
tadā sā mahilāvādīt khrīṣṭanāmnā vikhyāto'bhiṣiktaḥ puruṣa āgamiṣyatīti jānāmi sa ca sarvvāḥ kathā asmān jñāpayiṣyati|
26 Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
tato yīśuravadat tvayā sārddhaṁ kathanaṁ karomi yo'ham ahameva sa puruṣaḥ|
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?”
etasmin samaye śiṣyā āgatya tathā striyā sārddhaṁ tasya kathopakathane mahāścaryyam amanyanta tathāpi bhavān kimicchati? yadvā kimartham etayā sārddhaṁ kathāṁ kathayati? iti kopi nāpṛcchat|
28 Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
tataḥ paraṁ sā nārī kalaśaṁ sthāpayitvā nagaramadhyaṁ gatvā lokebhyokathāyad
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
ahaṁ yadyat karmmākaravaṁ tatsarvvaṁ mahyamakathayad etādṛśaṁ mānavamekam āgatya paśyata ru kim abhiṣikto na bhavati?
30 So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
tataste nagarād bahirāgatya tātasya samīpam āyan|
31 Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
etarhi śiṣyāḥ sādhayitvā taṁ vyāhārṣuḥ he guro bhavān kiñcid bhūktāṁ|
32 But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
tataḥ sovadad yuṣmābhiryanna jñāyate tādṛśaṁ bhakṣyaṁ mamāste|
33 So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
tadā śiṣyāḥ parasparaṁ praṣṭum ārambhanta, kimasmai kopi kimapi bhakṣyamānīya dattavān?
34 Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
yīśuravocat matprerakasyābhimatānurūpakaraṇaṁ tasyaiva karmmasiddhikāraṇañca mama bhakṣyaṁ|
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.
māsacatuṣṭaye jāte śasyakarttanasamayo bhaviṣyatīti vākyaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ kiṁ nodyate? kintvahaṁ vadāmi, śira uttolya kṣetrāṇi prati nirīkṣya paśyata, idānīṁ karttanayogyāni śuklavarṇānyabhavan|
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)
yaśchinatti sa vetanaṁ labhate anantāyuḥsvarūpaṁ śasyaṁ sa gṛhlāti ca, tenaiva vaptā chettā ca yugapad ānandataḥ| (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
itthaṁ sati vapatyekaśchinatyanya iti vacanaṁ siddhyati|
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.”
yatra yūyaṁ na paryyaśrāmyata tādṛśaṁ śasyaṁ chettuṁ yuṣmān prairayam anye janāḥparyyaśrāmyan yūyaṁ teṣāṁ śragasya phalam alabhadhvam|
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
yasmin kāle yadyat karmmākārṣaṁ tatsarvvaṁ sa mahyam akathayat tasyā vanitāyā idaṁ sākṣyavākyaṁ śrutvā tannagaranivāsino bahavaḥ śomiroṇīyalokā vyaśvasan|
40 So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
tathā ca tasyāntike samupasthāya sveṣāṁ sannidhau katicid dināni sthātuṁ tasmin vinayam akurvvāna tasmāt sa dinadvayaṁ tatsthāne nyavaṣṭat
41 And many more believed because of His message.
tatastasyopadeśena bahavo'pare viśvasya
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.”
tāṁ yoṣāmavadan kevalaṁ tava vākyena pratīma iti na, kintu sa jagato'bhiṣiktastrāteti tasya kathāṁ śrutvā vayaṁ svayamevājñāsamahi|
43 After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
svadeśe bhaviṣyadvaktuḥ satkāro nāstīti yadyapi yīśuḥ pramāṇaṁ datvākathayat
44 Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
tathāpi divasadvayāt paraṁ sa tasmāt sthānād gālīlaṁ gatavān|
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.
anantaraṁ ye gālīlī liyalokā utsave gatā utsavasamaye yirūśalam nagare tasya sarvvāḥ kriyā apaśyan te gālīlam āgataṁ tam āgṛhlan|
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.
tataḥ param yīśu ryasmin kānnānagare jalaṁ drākṣārasam ākarot tat sthānaṁ punaragāt| tasminneva samaye kasyacid rājasabhāstārasya putraḥ kapharnāhūmapurī rogagrasta āsīt|
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.
sa yehūdīyadeśād yīśo rgālīlāgamanavārttāṁ niśamya tasya samīpaṁ gatvā prārthya vyāhṛtavān mama putrasya prāyeṇa kāla āsannaḥ bhavān āgatya taṁ svasthaṁ karotu|
48 Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
tadā yīśurakathayad āścaryyaṁ karmma citraṁ cihnaṁ ca na dṛṣṭā yūyaṁ na pratyeṣyatha|
49 “Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
tataḥ sa sabhāsadavadat he maheccha mama putre na mṛte bhavānāgacchatu|
50 “Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.
yīśustamavadad gaccha tava putro'jīvīt tadā yīśunoktavākye sa viśvasya gatavān|
51 And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
gamanakāle mārgamadhye dāsāstaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvadan bhavataḥ putro'jīvīt|
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.”
tataḥ kaṁ kālamārabhya rogapratīkārārambho jātā iti pṛṣṭe tairuktaṁ hyaḥ sārddhadaṇḍadvayādhikadvitīyayāme tasya jvaratyāgo'bhavat|
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.
tadā yīśustasmin kṣaṇe proktavān tava putro'jīvīt pitā tadbuddhvā saparivāro vyaśvasīt|
54 This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
yihūdīyadeśād āgatya gālīli yīśuretad dvitīyam āścaryyakarmmākarot|
