John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus makes and baptises more disciples than John
Vafalisayu vayuwini kuvya Yesu avi mukupata vawuliwa vamahele na kuvabatiza kuliku Yohani.
2 (however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),
Ndi chakaka kuvya Yesu mwene abatiza lepi, nambu vawuliwa vaki ndi vevabatizayi vandu.
3 he left Judaea and went away again unto Galilee.
Hinu Yesu peagayuwini genago, akawuka ku Yudea na kuwuya ku Galilaya.
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
Mulugendu lwenulo yamganili kuvedukila kumulima wa Samaliya.
5 He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Ndi peahikili muji umonga pamulima wa Samaliya weukemiwa Sikali, papipi na mgunda wa Yakobo weampelilli mwana waki, mweikemiwa Yosefu.
6 Now a fountain of Jacob's was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
Pandu penapo pavi na chiliva cha Yakobo, na Yesu ndava ya kutotokela na lugendu, akatama pamuhana ya chiliva. Yavili ngati lukumbi lwa muhi.
7 A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink
Kangi, akabwela mdala mmonga mkolonjinji wa ku Samaliya kunega manji. Yesu akamjovela, “Nipelayi manji ninywayi.”
8 (for his disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions).
Lukumbi lwenulo vawuliwa vaki vahambili kumuji kugula chakulya.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans.
Nambu mdala yula akamjovela, “Veve wa Myawudi, na nene namdala msamaliya! Uhotola wuli kuniyupa manji?” Muni Vayawudi na Vasamaliya katu vitama lepi pamonga.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Yesu akamyangula, “Ngati kuvya umanyayi chindu chechiwusiwa na Chapanga ndi yani mweakukujovela, ‘nipelayi manji ninywai,’ Ngawamali, kumuyupa manji gegileta wumi.”
11 The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?
Mdala yula akamjovela, “Bambu, veve wangali ndeve ya kunegela manji, na chiliva chinyoliki. Ugapata koki manji gegavi na wumi?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Wu, veve ukujikita wa mkulu kuliku dadi witu Yakobo? Mwene ndi mweatipelili chiliva ichi, mwene na vana vaki pamonga na mifuya yaki vanywayi manji ga chiliva ichi.”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again;
Yesu akamyangula, “Yoyoha mweinywa manji aga yati ivya na njota kavili.
15 The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw.
Mdala mwenuyo akamjovela, “Bambu, unipela manji genago muni nikotoka kuvya na njota kavili na nikotoka kubwela penapa kunega manji.”
16 Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
Yesu akamjovela, “Uhamba ukamkemela mngwana waku, ubwela nayu penapa.”
17 The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband;
Mdala yula akayangula, “Nene nangali mgosi.” Yesu akamjovela “Uyangwili chakaka, wangali mgosi.
18 for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly.
Muni wavi na vagosi mhanu, na mgosi mweutama nayu hinu mgosi waku lepi. Penapo ujovili chakaka.”
19 The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.
Mdala yula akamjovela, “Bambu, niwona kuvya veve wa mlota wa Chapanga.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.
Vagogo vitu vamufugamila Chapanga kuchitumbi ichi, nambu nyenye mwijova kuvya pandu pa kumuyupila Chapanga ndi ku Yelusalemu.”
21 Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, [the] hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.
Yesu akamjovela “Unisadika chenijova lwalabwela lukumbi nakumfugamila Dadi, panani ya chitumbi amala ku Yelusalemu kula.
22 Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.
Nyenye Vasamaliya mukumfugamila yula mwangammanya, nambu tete tikumfugamila yula mwetimumanyili, ndava muni usangula wihuma kwa Vayawudi.
23 But [the] hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.
Nambu lukumbi lubwela, kangi lumali kubwela ndi vala vandu vevakumfugamila kwa uchakaka, yati vamfugamila Dadi mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi na chakaka. Muni dadi akuvagana vandu vamfugamila chenicho.
24 God [is] a spirit; and they who worship him must worship [him] in spirit and truth.
Chapanga ndi Mpungu na vandu vevamfugamila yikuvagana vamfugamila Dadi mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi na kuumanya uchakaka.”
25 The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things.
Mdala yula akamjovela, “Nimanyili kuvya Msangula mweikemiwa Kilisitu ibwela. Peibwela yati akutimanyisa tete kila chindu.”
26 Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am [he].
Yesu akamjovela, “Nene mwenilongela na veve ndi mwene.”
27 And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he spoke with a woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?
Bahapo vawuliwa vaki vakawuya, na kukangasa neju pavamuweni ilongela na mdala. Nambu kawaka mundu mweajovili, “Ugana kyani?” Amala, “Ndava kyani wilongela na mdala?”
28 The woman then left her waterpot and went away into the city, and says to the men,
Hinu, mdala yula akachileka chihulu chaki palapala na kuhamba kumuji na kuvajovela vandu,
29 Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ?
“Mbwela mukamlola mundu mweanijovili mambu goha genikitili! Wu, yihotoleka kuvya ndi Kilisitu Msangula?”
30 They went out of the city and came to him.
Vandu vakawuka kumuji na kumuhambila Yesu.
31 But meanwhile the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat.
Lukumbi lwenulo vawuliwa vaki vamyupili neju Yesu, “Muwula, ulyayi chakulya.”
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat which ye do not know.
Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Nene nivii nachu chakulya chemwangachimanya nyenye.”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, Has any one brought him [anything] to eat?
Vawuliwa vaki vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Wu, avi mundu mweamletili chakulya?”
34 Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work.
Yesu akavajovela, “Chakulya changu ndi kuhenga geigana yula mweanitumili na kumalakisa lihengu laki.
35 Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest.
Nyenye mwijova, ‘Yakona miheyi mcheche ndu na lukumbi lwa kubena yati lubwela!’ Nambu nene nikuvajovela, myinula mihu ginu mlola migunda, mabenu gakangili giganikiwa kubenwa!
36 He that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto life eternal, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Yula mweibena ipokela luhuna lweluganikiwa kupewa kwa lihengu laki, na kuyola mabenu ndava ya wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu, muni mweimija na mbenaji vihekelela pamonga. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this is [verified] the true saying, It is one who sows and another who reaps.
Vandu pevijova kuvya ‘Mundu mmonga imija na mundu yungi ibena, luhumu ulu ndi chakaka.’
38 I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.
Nene navatumili nyenye mkabena changali lihengu, vangi vahengili lihengu, nambu nyenye mupatili utangatila ndava ya lihengu lavi.”
39 But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done.
Vasamaliya vamahele pachijiji chila vamsadiki Yesu ndava ya malovi geajovili mau yula, “Anijovili mambu goha genihengili.”
40 When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked him to abide with them, and he abode there two days.
Vasamaliya vamhambili Yesu vakamuyupa neju atama navu, namwene akatama navu magono gavili.
41 And more a great deal believed on account of his word;
Vandu vamahele, vamsadiki Yesu ndava ya malovi gaki.
42 and they said to the woman, [It is] no longer on account of thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
Vakamjovela mdala yula, “Tete tisadika, nambu lepi ndava ya malovi gaku, muni tavete tiyuwini na timanyili kuvya mwenuyu ndi chakaka Msangula wa vandu va pamulima.”
43 But after the two days he went forth thence and went away into Galilee,
Pagamaliki magono gavili, Yesu akawuka penapo, akahamba ku Galilaya.
44 for Jesus himself bore witness that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
Muni Yesu mwene ajovili hotohoto kuvya, “Mlota wa Chapanga nakuyidakiliwa pamulima waki.”
45 When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the feast, for they also went to the feast.
Hinu peahikili ku Galilaya, Vagalilaya vamahele vampokili. Ndava vagawene goha geahengili ku Yelusalemu, muni navene vavi kukoko kumselebuko wa Pasaka.
46 He came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier in Capernaum whose son was sick.
Kangi Yesu ahikili kavili ku Kana, kumuji wa Galilaya, pandu peang'anamwisi manji kuvya divayi. Kwenuko kwavi na chilongosi mmonga wa chinkosi mweavi na mwana waki mtamu ku Kapelanaumu.
47 He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him and asked [him] that he would come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
Chilongosi yula peayuwini kuvya Yesu ahumili ku Yudea na kuhika ku Galilaya, akamhambila na kumuyupa ahamba akamlamisa mwana waki mweavi mulung'olelu.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe.
Yesu akamjovela, “Nyenye changalola ulangisu na gachinamtiti katu mwisadika lepi!”
49 The courtier says to him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Yula chilongosi akamjovela, “Bambu, chondi tihamba kwakona mwana vangu kufwa.”
50 Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.
Yesu akamjovela, “Uhambayi, mwana waku yati ilama.” Mundu yula akasadika malovi ga Yesu, akahamba.
51 But already, as he was going down, his servants met him and brought [him] word saying, Thy child lives.
Peavi akona munjila akakonganeka na vatumisi vaki, vakamjovela kuvya mwana waku alamili!
52 He inquired therefore from them the hour at which he got better. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
Mwene akavakota lukumbi msongolo pealamili, vene vakamyangula, “Golo saa saba ya muhi, utamu wamuhumili.”
53 The father therefore knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives; and he believed, himself and his whole house.
Dadi yula akamanya kuvya lwavi lukumbi lulolo, Yesu peamjovili “Mwana waku yati ilama.” Penapo mwene pamonga na valongo vaki vakamsadika Yesu.
54 This second sign again did Jesus, being come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Wenuwu wavi ulangisu wa kukangasa weahengili Yesu peawukili ku Yudea kuhamba ku Galilaya.
