John 4
1 When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
Naizvozvo Ishe paakaziva kuti VaFarisi vakange vanzwa kuti Jesu anoita nekubhabhatidza vadzidzi vakawanda kupfuura Johwani,
2 (although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),
kunyange Jesu pachake wakange asingabhabhatidzi, asi vadzidzi vake,
3 He left Judea and returned to Galilee.
akabva Judhiya, akaendazve muGarirea.
4 Now He had to pass through Samaria.
Asi wakange achifanira kugura neSamaria.
5 So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
Zvino wakasvika paguta reSamaria rinonzi Sikari, pedo nedunhu Jakobho raakange apa Josefa mwanakomana wake.
6 Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Zvino chitubu chaJakobho chakange chiripo. Naizvozvo Jesu aneta nerwendo wakagara saizvozvo pachitubu. Raiva awa rinenge rechitanhatu.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
Kwakasvika mukadzi achibva muSamaria kuzochera mvura; Jesu akati kwaari: Ndipe ndinwe.
8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
(Nokuti vadzidzi vake vakange vaenda muguta kunotenga kudya).
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.)
Naizvozvo mukadzi ari muSamaria wakati kwaari: Sei iwe uri muJudha uchikumbira kunwa kwandiri, mukadzi muSamaria? Nokuti VaJudha havadyidzani neVaSamaria.
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.”
Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Dai waiziva chipo chaMwari, uye kuti ndiani anoti kwauri: Ndipe ndinwe; ungadai waikumbira kwaari, uye ungadai akupa mvura mhenyu.
11 “Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?
Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, hamuna chinhu chekucheresa, uye tsime rakadzika; zvino munoitora kupi mvura mhenyu?
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?”
Imwi muri mukuru kuna baba vedu Jakobho, vakatipa tsime, vakanwa pariri ivo, nevana vavo, nezvipfuwo zvavo here?
13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
Jesu akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Ani nani anonwa pamvura iyi, achava nenyotazve;
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.”
Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndipei mvura iyi, kuti ndirege kuva nenyota, kana kuuya pano kuzochera.
16 Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, unodana murume wako, ugouya pano.
17 “I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.
Mukadzi akapindura ndokuti: Handina murume. Jesu akati kwaari: Wareva zvakanaka kuti: Handina murume.
18 In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
Nokuti wakava nevarume vashanu, uyo waunaye ikozvino haasi murume wako; apa wareva chokwadi.
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndinoona kuti imwi muri muporofita.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
Madzibaba edu ainamata mugomo iri; asi imwi munoti muJerusarema ndimo munzvimbo munhu yaanofanira kunamatapo.
21 “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
Jesu akati kwaari: Mukadzi, nditende, kuti awa rinouya, ramuchashumira Baba musiri mugomo iri, kana paJerusarema.
22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
Imwi munonamata chamusingazivi; isu tinoshumira chatinoziva; nokuti ruponeso rwunobva kuVaJudha.
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.
Asi awa rinouya, uye ratova iro, apo vanamati vechokwadi vachanamata Baba mumweya nemuchokwadi; nokutiwo Baba vanotsvaka vakadaro kuti vavanamate.
24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
Mwari Mweya; neavo vanomunamata vanofanira kunamata mumweya nemuchokwadi.
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ndinoziva kuti Mesiasi anouya anonzi Kristu; kana iye asvika, achatiudza zvinhu zvese.
26 Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
Jesu akati kwaari: Ini ndinotaura kwauri, ndini.
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?”
Zvino nenguva iyi vadzidzi vake vakasvika, vakashamisika kuti anotaura nemukadzi; asi hakuna umwe wakati: Munotsvakei? Kana: Munotaurirei naye?
28 Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
Naizvozvo mukadzi akasiya chirongo chake, ndokubva oenda muguta, akati kuvanhu:
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
Uyai, muone munhu, wandiudza zvinhu zvese zvandakaita; ko uyu haasi iye Kristu here?
30 So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
Naizvozvo vakabuda muguta, vakauya kwaari.
31 Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
Zvichakadaro vadzidzi vakamunyengetedza vachiti: Rabhi, idyai.
32 But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
Asi iye wakati kwavari: Ini ndine kudya kwekudya kwamusingazivi imwi.
33 So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakataurirana vachiti: Kuti pane umwe wamuvigira zvekudya?
34 Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
Jesu akati kwavari: Zvekudya zvangu ndizvo kuti ndiite chido chewakandituma, nekupedza basa rake.
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.
Imwi hamutauri here kuti: Kuchine mwedzi mina, zvino kukohwa kunosvika? Tarirai, ndinoti kwamuri: Simudzai meso enyu, muone minda, kuti yatochenera kukohwa.
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)
Zvino anokohwa anogamuchira mubairo, uye anounganidza zvibereko muupenyu husingaperi; kuti vaviri anokusha neanokohwa vafare pamwe. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
Nokuti pane izvi shumo ndeyechokwadi inoti: Umwe anokusha, uye umwe anokohwa.
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.”
Ini ndakakutumai kukohwa zvamusakashandira; vamwe vakashanda, zvino imwi mapinda pabasa ravo.
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
Zvino vazhinji veVaSamaria kubva muguta iro vakatenda kwaari nekuda kweshoko remukadzi, rakapupura richiti: Wandiudza zvese zvandakaita.
40 So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
Zvino VaSamaria vakati vachisvika kwaari, vakamunyengetedza kuti agare navo; ndokugarapo mazuva maviri.
41 And many more believed because of His message.
Vazhinji vakawedzerwa vakatenda nekuda kweshoko rake.
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.”
Zvino vakati kumukadzi: Hatichatendi nekuda kwekureva kwako; nokuti tazvinzwira, uye tinoziva kuti uyu ndiye zvirokwazvo Muponesi wenyika, Kristu.
43 After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
Zvino shure kwemazuva maviri wakabvapo, ndokuenda kuGarirea;
44 Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
nokuti Jesu amene wakapupura kuti muporofita haana rukudzo munyika yekwake.
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.
Zvino wakati asvika kuGarirea, VaGarirea vakamugamuchira, vaona zvinhu zvese zvaakaita paJerusarema pamabiko, nokuti naivo vakange vaenda kumabiko.
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.
Zvino Jesu wakasvikazve paKana yeGarirea, paakange aita mvura ive waini. Zvino pakange pane rimwe jinda, mwanakomana waro wakange achirwara paKapenaume.
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.
Iro rakati richinzwa kuti Jesu wabva Judhiya akasvika kuGarirea, rikaenda kwaari, rikamugombedzera kuti aburukire aporese mwanakomana waro; nokuti wakange odofa.
48 Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
Naizvozvo Jesu akati kwariri: Kunze kwekuti maona zviratidzo nezvishamiso, hamungatongotendi.
49 “Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
Jinda rikati kwaari: Ishe, burukai mwana wangu asati afa.
50 “Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.
Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, mwanakomana wako anorarama. Munhu ndokutenda shoko Jesu raakareva kwaari, akaenda.
51 And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
Zvino wakati oburuka, varanda vake vakamuchingamidza, vakamuudza vachiti: Mwana wenyu anorarama.
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.”
Zvino akavabvunza awa raakatanga kunaya. Zvino vakati kwaari: Zuro neawa rechinomwe fivhiri yakamuregedza.
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.
Naizvozvo baba vakaziva kuti maiva imo muawa Jesu maakati kwaari: Mwanakomana wako anorarama; zvino akatenda iye neimba yake yese.
54 This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
Ichizve chiratidzo chechipiri Jesu chaakaita, abva Judhiya asvika Garirea.
