John 4
1 When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John,
Mafalisayo ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu akupata ŵakulijiganya ŵajinji ni kwabatisya kwapunda che Yohana.
2 (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples, )
Nambo Che Yesu nsyene nganiŵabatisya ŵandu, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni ŵaŵabatisyaga ŵandu.
3 He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
Nipele, Che Yesu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatyosile ku Yudea ni kuuja ku Galilaya.
4 And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.
Mu ulendo wao ŵasachilwe kupita ku Samalia.
5 He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Nipele, ŵaiche ku Sikali musi umo wa ku Samalia, pachiŵandi ngunda u che Yusufu wapegwilwe ni che Yakobo atatigwe.
6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Pelepo paliji ni chisima chi che Yakobo, nombe Che Yesu pakuŵa ŵapesile ni ulendo, ŵatemi mungulugulu chisima. Yaliji muusi lyuŵa pantwe.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.
Nipele jwankongwe jumo Msamalia ŵaiche kukuteka meesi. Ni Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Nguŵenda meesi gakung'wa.”
8 For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.
Katema ko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵajile mu mmusi kukusuma yakulya.
9 Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.
Nambo jwankongwe jo ŵatite, “Mmwejo Myahudi, ana nkukombola chinauli kuumenda meesi gakung'wa uneji jwankongwe Msamalia?” Ŵatite yele pakuŵa Ŵayahudi ngakukamulangana ni Ŵasamalia.
10 Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nkachimanyi chichi chakusaka Akunnungu kumpa ni ŵaani ŵakummenda meesi gakung'wa, nkammendile jwelejo, nombejo akampele meesi gagakwikanawo umi.”
11 The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?
Jwankongwe jo ŵatite, “Ambuje, mmwe nganinkola ngao ni chisima chi chilewipe nnope. Ana mpatile kwapi meesi gagakwikanawo umi go?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Ambuje ŵetu che Yakobo ni ŵatupele uweji chisima chi, nsyene ni ŵanagwe ni ilango yakwe ŵang'wele meesi ga chisima chi. Ana mmwejo nkulitenda jwankulu nnope kwapunda che Yakobo?”
13 Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;
Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Jwalijose juchang'we meesi ga chisima chi chijakole njota sooni.
15 The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
Jwankongwe jo ŵansalile, “Ambuje, nguŵenda meesi go kuti jinangole njota sooni ni ninaiche sooni pelepa kukuteka meesi.”
16 Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Njaule nkaaŵilanje ŵankwenu, nkaiche pamo nawo pelepa.”
17 The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:
Jwankongwe jo ŵajanjile, “Uneji nganingola ŵalume.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njanjile yambone kuti nganinkola ŵalume.
18 For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.
Pakuŵa mwalombilwe kasano, ni jwannume junkutama nawo sambano jo nganaŵa ŵankwenu. Pelepo chinsasile cho chili chisyene.”
19 The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Jwankongwe jo ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, nguwona kuti mmwejo ndi jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
20 Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.
Achambuje ŵetu ŵa Chisamalia ŵaapopelele Akunnungu mwinani mwa chitumbi chi, nambo ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi nkuti, tukusachilwa kwapopelela Akunnungu ku Yelusalemu.”
21 Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.
Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Amao, nkulupilile chinguchisala, chikaiche katema ngamwapopelela Atati mwinani mwa chitumbi chi atamuno ku Yelusalemu kula.
22 You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.
Ŵanyamwe Ŵasamalia nkwapopelela ŵangankwamanyilila, nambo uweji Ŵayahudi tukwamanyilila ŵatukwapopelela, pakuŵa ukulupusyo wa Akunnungu chiutyochele kwa litala lya Ŵayahudi.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.
Nambo chikaiche katema, sooni kaiche, ŵakupopelela kwa usyene chiŵaapopelele Atati achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni usyene. Pakuŵa Atati akwasaka ŵandu ŵakwapopelela chanti yeleyo.
24 God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.
Akunnungu ali Mbumu, ni ŵakwapopelela ŵelewo ŵapopeleleje achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kuumanyilila usyene.”
25 The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ). Therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Jwankongwe jo ŵansalile, “Ngumanyilila kuti chaiche Masiya jwakuŵilanjikwa Kilisito Jwakuwombola. Pachaiche chatumanyisye inayose.”
26 Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Uneji junguŵecheta nomwe ndili jwelejo.”
27 And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?
Papopo ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵausile, ŵasimosile ligongo ŵaasimene Che Yesu alinkukunguluka ni jwankongwe. Nambo ngapagwa jwalijose juŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ana nkusaka chichi? Pane kwaligongo chi nkukunguluka ni jwankongwe?”
28 The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:
Jwankongwe jo ŵalesile lulo lwakwe palapala, ŵajawile mmusi ni kwasalila ŵandu achitiji,
29 Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?
“Njisangane nkannole mundu jwasalile yanayose imbanganyisye! Ikukomboleka kuti jweleju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola?”
30 They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.
Nipele ŵandu ŵakopweche mmusi ula ni kwajaulila Che Yesu.
31 In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.
Katema kakoko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵaliji nkwachondelela Che Yesu achitiji, “Chondechonde Jwakwiganya, ndye.”
32 But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uneji ngwete chakulya chingankuchimanyilila ŵanyamwe.”
33 The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?
Ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵatandite kuusyana achinsyene pe, “Ana kwana mundu jwanjigalile chakulya?”
34 Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Chakulya changu chili kutendekanya chakusaka aŵala ŵandumile ni kugamalisya masengo gao.
35 Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.
Ŵanyamwe ngankuti, ‘Jisigalile miesi ncheche, pakwika katema ka kugungula?’ Nambo uneji ngunsalila nnole migunda ji jili chile kwa kugungula.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Jwakugungula akupochela mbote ni akukumbikanya pamo magungulo kuti gakole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, nipele jwakupanda asengwe yalumo ni jwakugungula. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.
Chiŵecheto chi chili chisyene, ‘Jumo akupanda ni jwine akugungula.’
38 I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.
Uneji nantumile nkagungule magowolo ganganimpande ŵanyamwe, ŵane ŵapanganyisye masengo gakulimba, nambo gelego ginkupata ŵanyamwe gali kwa ligongo lya masengo gao.”
39 Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.
Ŵasamalia ŵajinji ŵa musi ula ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu kwa ligongo lya umboni wa maloŵe gaŵaŵechete jwankongwe jo gagakuti, “Asalile inayose imbanganyisye.”
40 So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.
Ŵasamalia ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwachondelela atame pamo nawo, nombejo ŵatemi pepala moŵa gaŵili.
41 And many more believed in him because of his own word.
Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji nnope ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu ligongo lya maloŵe gao.
42 And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
Ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Sano tukukulupilila ngaŵa kwaligongo lya kuŵecheta kwenu pe, nambo pakuŵa tupilikene twachinsyene, ni tukumanyilila kuti isyene ajuju ni Nkulupusyo jwa ŵandu ŵapachilambo.”
43 Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
Pagapite moŵa gaŵili Che Yesu ŵausile sooni ku Galilaya.
44 For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Pakuŵa Che Yesu nsyene ŵasasile pangasisa kuti, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu ngakuchimbichikwa mchilambo chakwe nsyene.”
45 And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.
Paŵaiche ku Galilaya, ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakweleko ŵapochele, pakuŵa ŵanyawo nombe ŵaliji ku Yelusalemu kuchindimba cha Pasaka, ŵaiweni yose yaitesileje Che Yesu pachindimba.
46 He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaujile sooni mmusi wa ku Kana, chilambo cha ku Galilaya, peuto paŵagatesile meesi gaŵe divai pala. Pepala paliji ni jwankulu jumo juŵaliji ni mwanache jwakulwala ku Kapelenaumu ko.
47 He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
Nipele jwankulu jo paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu atyosile ku Yudea ni kwika ku Galilaya, ŵajaulile ni kwachondelela ajaule ku Kapelenaumu akannamye mwanagwe juŵalwalaga kuŵandichila kuwa.
48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankwakulupilila Akunnungu pangaiwona imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka!”
49 The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.
Jwankulu jo ŵanjanjile, “Ambuje, chondechonde tujaule mwanangu akanaŵe kuwa.”
50 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njauleje, mwanagwenu chalame.” Mundu jo ŵalikulupilile liloŵe liŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu ni ŵajawile.
51 And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.
Paŵaliji nkutuluka, ŵasimene ni achikapolo ŵao ni ŵansalile kuti mwanache jwao alamile.
52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
Nombejo ŵausisye katema kaŵatandite mwanagwe kupata eja, ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Ulwele wannesile liiso saa saba ja musi.”
53 The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.
Nipele atati jo ŵajimanyilile kuti jaliji saa jilajila jiŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu kuti, “Mwanagwenu chalame.” Pelepo nsyene pamo ni achalongo ŵakwe wose ŵankulupilile Che Yesu.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.
Chelechi chaliji chimanyisyo cha kusimosya chaaŵili chiŵachipanganyisye Che Yesu paŵatyosile ku Yudea kuuja ku Galilaya.
