John 4
1 Thus when the Lord knew when the Pharisees heard that Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John
Farisitɔwo se be Yesu le nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔm fũu, eye wòle mawutsi dem ta na amewo tsɔ wu Yohanes,
2 (truly Jesus himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),
togbɔ be menye Yesu ŋutɔe le mawutsi dem ta na amewo o, ke boŋ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawoe.
3 He left Judea and came again into Galilee.
Esi Yesu se nya sia la, edzo le Yudea, hetrɔ yi Galilea.
4 And it behooved Him to go through Samaria.
Enɔ na Yesu be wòato Samaria hafi ayi Galilea.
5 Then He comes into a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Le ŋdɔ ga wuieve me lɔƒo la, eva ɖo Samariatɔwo ƒe du aɖe si woyɔna be Sikar la me, si te ɖe anyigba si Yakob na via Yosef la ŋu.
6 And the well of Jacob was there. Then Jesus having become weary from the journey, was sitting thus by the well: it was about the sixth hour.
Yakob ƒe vudo la le afi sia. Vudo sia le anyigba si Yakob tsɔ na via Yosef la dzi. Le mɔ legbe si wòzɔ kple ɖeɖiteameŋu ta la, Yesu nɔ anyi ɖe vudoa gbɔ be yeadzudzɔ. Anɔ gaƒoƒo adelia me.
7 A woman comes from Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
Eteƒe medidi o la, Samaria nyɔnu aɖe va be yeadu tsi. Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Àte ŋu ana tsi aɖem manoa?”
8 For His disciples had gone into the city, that they might purchase food.
(Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yi kɔƒea me yi nuɖuɖu ƒle ge.)
9 A Samaritan woman says to Him, How do you, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?
Samaria nyɔnu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Yudatɔ nènye, eye menye Samariatɔ. Aleke wò Yudatɔ, nèle tsi biam nye Samaria nyɔnu be yeano?” (Elabena Yudatɔwo kple Samariatɔwo menyina o.)
10 And Jesus responded and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and the one who is speaking to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ne ɖe nènya Mawu ƒe nunana kple ame si ƒomevi le tsi biam wò la, anye ne èbiae, eye wòana agbetsi wò.”
11 The woman says to Him, Sir, thou hast no windlass, and the well is deep: whence hast thou living water?
Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, vudo sia goglo, eye tsikunu mele asiwò be nàtsɔ aku tsii le eme o. Afi ka nèle agbetsi la kpɔ ge le?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself and his sons, and his herds, drank of it?
Gawu la, ɖe nède ŋgɔ wu mía fofo Yakob, ame si ɖe vudo la na mí, eye eya ŋutɔ, viawo kple eƒe lãwo no tsi le emea?”
13 Jesus responded and said to her, Every one drinking of this water shall thirst again:
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame sia ame si no tsi sia la, tsikɔ agawui,
15 Then the woman says to Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
Nyɔnu la gblɔ na Yesu be, “Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, na tsi sia ƒe ɖem, be tsikɔ magawum ne mava nɔ tsi kum le afi sia gbe sia gbe o.”
16 He says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàyɔ srɔ̃wò vɛ.”
17 The woman responded and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Well didst thou say, I have no husband:
Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Srɔ̃ mele asinye o.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Èto nyateƒe esi nègblɔ be srɔ̃ mele ye si o.
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: thou hast spoken this truly.
Elabena èɖe ŋutsu atɔ̃ kpɔ, eye ame si gbɔ nèle fifia hã la, menye srɔ̃wò wònye o.” Esia nye nyateƒe.
19 The woman says to Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, mexɔe se be Nyagblɔɖilae nènye.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where it behooveth to worship.
Nu ka ta mi Yudatɔwo miegblɔna be Yerusalem kokoko wòle be woasubɔ Mawu le, evɔ mí Samariatɔwo hã míebe ele be woasubɔ Mawu le to sia dzi, elabena afi siae mía tɔgbuiwo subɔ Mawu le?”
21 Jesus says to her, Believe me, woman, that the hour cometh, you will worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyɔnu, xɔ dzinye se be ɣeyiɣi aɖe gbɔna, esi womagasubɔ Fofo la le to sia dzi alo le Yerusalem o.
22 You worship, you know not what: we worship that which we know: because salvation is of the Jews.
Mi Samariatɔwo la, miesubɔa nu si mienya o, ke míawo la, míesubɔa nu si míenya, elabena xɔxɔ la tso Yudatɔwo gbɔ.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshiping Him.
Gake ɣeyiɣi aɖe gbɔna, eye wòde azɔ be nyateƒe subɔsubɔwɔlawo woasubɔ Fofo la le gbɔgbɔ kple nyateƒe me, elabena Fofo la dia subɔla siawo tɔgbi.
24 God is a Spirit, and it behooveth those who worship Him to worship in spirit and in truth.
Mawu nye Gbɔgbɔ, eye ame siwo le esubɔm la, ele be woasubɔe le gbɔgbɔ kple nyateƒe me.”
25 The woman says to Him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ): when He may come, He will proclaim to us all things.
Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Menya be Mesia” (si woyɔna be Kristo la) “le vava ge. Ne eva la aɖe nu sia nu gɔme na mí.”
26 Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am He.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee.”
27 And at this time His disciples came, and were wondering because He was speaking with the woman; no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why do you speak with her?
Esi wògblɔ nya sia vɔ teti ko la, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va do, eye wòwɔ nuku na wo be Yesu nɔ dze ɖom kple nyɔnu aɖe, gake wo dometɔ aɖeke mebia be, “Nu ka dim nèle?” alo “Nu ka ta nèle dze ɖom kple nyɔnu la ɖo?” o.
28 Then the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and says to the men,
Nyɔnu la gblẽ eƒe tsize la ɖe vudoa to, eye wòtrɔ yi dua me ɖagblɔ na amewo be,
29 Come hither, see the man who told me all things which I did: Is not He the Christ?
“Miva kpɔ ŋutsu aɖe si gblɔ nu siwo katã mewɔ kpɔ la nam ɖa. Ɖe manye eyae nye Kristo la oa?”
30 They came out from the city, and came to Him.
Ale amewo tso dua me va be yewoakpɔe.
31 Meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, Master eat.
Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe kuku nɛ bena, “Nufiala, va ɖu nu.”
32 He said to them, I have meat to eat, which you know not.
Ke Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nuɖuɖu le asinye, esi ŋu miawo mienya nu le o.”
33 Then His disciples were speaking to one another, Whether has any one brought Him something to eat?
Ke nusrɔ̃lawo bia le wo nɔewo dome be, “Ɖe ame aɖe tsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ nɛa?”
34 Jesus says to them, My food is that I may do the will of Him that sent me, and finish His work.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nye nuɖuɖue nye be mawɔ Mawu, ame si dɔm ɖa la ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu, eye mawu dɔ si wòdɔm la wɔwɔ nu.
35 Do you not say, That it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and see the fields, because they are white unto the harvest
Menye miawoe gblɔna be, ‘Esusɔ ɣleti ene ne nuŋeɣi naɖo oa’? Miwu mo dzi ne miakpɔ agblewo dzi ɖa! Nukuawo tsi na ŋeŋe.
36 already. He that reapeth receiveth reward, and gathereth fruit unto eternal life; in order that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Fifia gɔ̃ hã la, ame si ŋea nu la xɔa fetu, eye wòŋea nukuwo hena agbe mavɔ la, be nuƒãla kple nuŋela siaa nakpɔ dzidzɔ. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the word is true, that there is one sowing, and another reaping.
Esiae wɔe be nya si wogblɔ ɖi be, ‘Ame aɖe ƒãa nu, eye ame bubu va ŋena’ la nye nyateƒe.
38 I have sent you to reap that upon which you have never labored: others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.
Nye la, medɔ mi be miayi aɖaŋe nu le afi si mieƒã nu ɖo o la; ame bubuwoe ƒã nua hafi miawo mieyi ɖaŋe.”
39 But many of the Samaritans from that city believed on Him through the word of the woman, testifying that, He told me all things which I did. Then when the Samaritans came to Him they asked Him to abide with them:
Samariatɔ geɖewo xɔ Yesu dzi se ɖe nya si nyɔnu la gblɔ na wo be, “Egblɔ nu sia nu si mewɔ kpɔ la nam la ta.” la ta.
40 and He remained there two days:
Azɔ esi Samariatɔwo va egbɔ la, woɖe kuku nɛ be, wòanɔ yewo gbɔ, eye wònɔ wo gbɔ ŋkeke eve
41 and many more believed on Him through His word;
Le eƒe nyawo ta la, ame geɖewo xɔ edzi se.
42 and they continued to say to the woman, We no longer believe through your talk; for we have heard and we know that He is truly the Savior of the world.
Ale wova gblɔ na nyɔnu si do goe gbã le vudoa to la be, “Míawo hã míexɔ edzi se, elabena míawo ŋutɔ hã míese nya geɖewo tso eƒe nu me, ke menye le wò ɖaseɖiɖi ɖeɖe ko ta o. Míenya be ame siae nye xexea me ƒe Ɖela la vavã.”
43 And after two days He departed thence into Galilee.
Le ŋkeke eve megbe la, edzo yi Galilea.
44 And Jesus Himself witnessed, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
(Yesu ŋutɔ gblɔ be nyagblɔɖila aɖeke mekpɔa bubu le eya ŋutɔ dedu me o.)
45 And when He came into Galilee, Galileans received Him, having seen all things which He did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also came to the feast.
Esi wòyi Galilea la, Galileatɔwo xɔe nyuie, elabena wokpɔ nukunu siwo katã wòwɔ le Yerusalem, esi woyi ɖaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le afi ma.
46 Then He came again into Cana of Galilee, where He turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royalist, whose son was sick in Capernaum;
Yesu gava Kana le Galilea, afi si wòtrɔ tsi wòzu wain le la. Afi ma wòdo go aʋafia aɖe le. Ŋutsu sia ƒe vi le dɔ lém le Kapernaum.
47 he having heard that Jesus has come out of Judea into Galilee, came away to Him, and continued to ask Him that He may come down and heal his son; for He was about to die.
Esi ŋutsu sia se be Yesu tso Yudea va ɖo Galilea la, eyi egbɔ heɖe kuku nɛ be wòava yɔ dɔ ye viŋutsuvi si ɖo kudo nu la na ye.
48 Then Jesus said to him, Unless you may see signs and wonders, you can not believe.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mia dometɔ aɖeke maxɔ dzinye ase o, dzaa miekpɔ dzesi kple nukunuwo?”
49 The nobleman says to Him, Lord, come down before my little child dies.
Aʋafia la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, va míyi kaba hafi vinyea naku?”
50 Jesus says to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and departed.
Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi aƒe me, elabena viwò la ƒe lãme sẽ.” Aʋafia la xɔ nya si Yesu gblɔ nɛ la dzi se, eye wòtrɔ dzo yina aƒe me.
51 And he already coming down, the servants met him, and reported, that the child lives.
Esi wònɔ mɔa dzi yina la, eƒe dɔla aɖewo va kpee hegblɔ nɛ be via ƒe lãme sẽ.
52 Then he inquired the hour at which he began to improve; and they said to him, The fever left him at the seventh hour yesterday.
Aʋafia la bia gaƒoƒo si me tututu via ƒe lãme sẽ la wo. Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Etsɔ, anɔ abe ŋdɔ ga ɖeka me ene la, asrã la vɔ nɛ.”
53 Then the father knew that it was at that hour at which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and he and all his house believed.
Aʋafia la ɖo ŋku edzi be gaƒoƒo ma me tututue Yesu gblɔ na ye be, “Viwò la ƒe lãme sẽ.” Ale aʋafia la kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo katã xɔ Yesu dzi se.
54 Jesus, having again come out of Judea into Galilee, wrought this second miracle.
Esiae nye nukunu evelia si Yesu wɔ, esi wòtso Yudea va Galilea.
