John 4
1 AS soon then as the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John
Awo Yesu bwe yamanya nti Abafalisaayo bategedde nti abantu bangi bafuuse bayigirizwa be, era ng’abatiza bangi okusinga Yokaana,
2 (though Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),
newaakubadde nga Yesu yennyini teyabatiza wabula abayigirizwa be, be baabatizanga,
3 he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
n’ava e Buyudaaya n’addayo e Ggaliraaya.
4 Now he must necessarily pass through Samaria.
Kyali kimugwanira okuyita mu Samaliya.
5 Then he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sichar, near the spot of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Awo n’atuuka mu kibuga ky’e Samaliya ekiyitibwa Sukali, nga kiri kumpi n’ekibanja Yakobo kye yawa mutabani we Yusufu.
6 And Jacob’s well was there. Therefore Jesus, weary with his journey, e’en sat himself down on the well: it was about the sixth hour.
Awo we waali oluzzi lwa Yakobo. Yesu yali akooye olw’olugendo lwe yatambula, n’atuula awo ku luzzi. Obudde bwali ng’essaawa mukaaga ez’omu ttuntu.
7 A woman of Samaria comes to draw water: Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.
Awo omukazi Omusamaliya bwe yajja okukima amazzi, Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mpa ku mazzi nnyweko.”
8 (For his disciples were gone into the city to buy provisions.)
Mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa be baali bagenze mu kibuga okugulayo ku mmere.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, How canst thou, a Jew, ask of me, who am a Samaritan woman, to drink? for Jews avoid all intercourse with Samaritans.
Awo omukazi Omusamaliya n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe Omuyudaaya oyinza otya okusaba nze Omusamaliya amazzi okunywa?” Kubanga Abayudaaya nga tebakolagana na Basamaliya.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that speaketh to thee, thou wouldest have requested him, and he would have given thee life-giving water.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Singa obadde omanyi ekirabo kya Katonda, n’oyo akugamba nti mpa nnywe ku mazzi bw’ali ggwe wandimusabye, naye yandikuwadde amazzi amalamu.”
11 The woman saith unto him, Thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: whence then canst thou have this water that giveth life?
Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Ssebo, tolina kalobo, n’oluzzi luwanvu nnyo.
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Ate n’ekirala, ggwe oli mukulu okusinga jjajjaffe Yakobo eyatuwa oluzzi luno ate nga yanywangamu ye n’abaana be n’ensolo ze?”
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one who drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Buli muntu yenna anywa ku mazzi gano ennyonta eriddamu okumuluma.
15 The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may no more thirst, nor come hither to draw.
Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Ssebo, mpa ku mazzi ago, ennyonta eremenga kunnuma era nneme kujjanga wano kukima mazzi.”
16 Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Genda oyite balo, okomewo.”
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou hast spoken right, that thou hast no husband:
Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Sirina baze!” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Oyogedde kituufu nti tolina balo.
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in this thou hast spoken true.
Kubanga walina babalo bataano, naye oyo gw’olina kaakano si balo. Ekyo oyogedde mazima.”
19 The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Omukazi n’agamba Yesu nti, “Ssebo, ndaba ng’oli nnabbi.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye affirm, That the place where we ought to worship is at Jerusalem.
Ku lusozi luno bajjajjaffe kwe baasinzizanga. Naye mmwe mugamba nti, Yerusaalemi kye kifo ekigwana okusinzizangamu.”
21 Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour approaches, when ye shall worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mukazi wattu nzikiriza, kubanga ekiseera kijja kye mutalisinzizangamu Kitaffe ku lusozi luno wadde mu Yerusaalemi.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we worship what we do know: for salvation cometh from the Jews.
Mmwe musinza kye mutamanyi; ffe tusinza kye tumanyi kubanga obulokozi buva mu Buyudaaya.
23 But the hour is coming, yea, is now come, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshippers of him.
Naye ekiseera kijja, era kituuse, abo abasinziza mu mazima bwe banaasinzizanga Kitaffe mu mwoyo ne mu mazima. Kubanga Kitaffe anoonya abo abamusinza era n’abo abamusinza kibagwanira okumusinzanga mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.
24 God is a Spirit: and they who worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Kubanga Katonda Mwoyo n’abo abamusinza kibagwanira okumusinza mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.”
25 The woman saith, I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ): when he cometh, he will inform us of all things.
Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Weewaawo, mmanyi nti Masiya, gwe bayita Kristo, ajja. Ye bw’alijja, alitutegeeza ebintu byonna.”
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that am speaking to thee am he.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nze nzuuno ayogera naawe.”
27 And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no one said, What art thou seeking? or, Why art thou talking with her?
Awo mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa ba Yesu ne bakomawo. Ne beewuunya okulaba ng’ayogera n’omukazi. Kyokka ne watabaawo amubuuza nsonga emwogezezza naye wadde bye babadde boogerako.
28 Then the woman left her pitcher, and went into the city, and said to the men,
Awo omukazi n’aleka awo ensuwa ye n’agenda mu kibuga n’ategeeza abantu nti,
29 Come with me; behold a man, who told me all things that I ever did: is not this the Messiah?
“Mujje mulabe omuntu antegeezezza buli kye nnali nkoze. Ayinza okuba nga ye Kristo?”
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
Ne bava mu kibuga ne bajja eri Yesu.
31 In the mean time his disciples invited him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa baali beegayirira Yesu alye ku mmere, nga bagamba nti, “Labbi lya ku mmere.”
32 But he said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
N’abaddamu nti, “Nze nnina ekyokulya mmwe kye mutamanyi.”
33 Then said his disciples to each other, Hath any person brought him ought to eat?
Awo abayigirizwa ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Waliwo omuntu amuleetedde ekyokulya?”
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekyokulya kyange kwe kukola eyantuma by’ayagala, era n’okutuukiriza omulimu gwe.
35 Do ye not say, That yet there are four months, and then the harvest cometh? behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look upon the fields; for they are now white for harvest.
Mmwe temugamba nti, ‘Ekyasigaddeyo emyezi ena amakungula gatuuke?’ Kale muyimuse amaaso gammwe, mutunuulire ennimiro! Amakungula gatuuse.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Akungula asasulwa empeera ye era n’akuŋŋaanyiza ebibala mu bulamu obutaggwaawo, olwo asiga n’akungula balyoke basanyukire wamu. (aiōnios g166)
37 For herein is the saying true, That one soweth and another reapeth.
Bwe kityo ekigambo nti, ‘Omu asiga omulala n’akungula,’ kyekiva kiba eky’amazima.
38 I have sent you to reap that on which ye have bestowed no labour: others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labour.
Mbatumye mmwe okukungula kye mutaasiga. Abalala be baasiga naye mmwe mugobolodde.”
39 Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.
Abasamaliya bangi ab’omu kibuga abaamukkiririzaamu olw’ebyo omukazi bye yabategeeza, ng’abagamba nti, “Antegeezezza buli kye nnali nkoze!”
40 So on this the Samaritans came to him, and besought him to abide with them: and he tarried there two days.
Awo Abasamaliya bwe bajja eri Yesu ne bamwegayirira yeeyongere okubeera nabo, n’abeera nabo ennaku bbiri.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
Bangi ne bakkiriza olw’ebyo bye yabategeeza.
42 and said to the woman, Now we believe, not merely on account of thy relation: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a certainty the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.
Awo ne bagamba omukazi nti, “Tumukkiriza si lwa bigambo byo byokka, naye naffe twewuliridde ebigambo bye. Ddala tutegedde nga ye Mulokozi w’ensi.”
43 Then after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
Ennaku ezo ebbiri bwe zaggwaako, Yesu n’ava e Samaliya n’alaga e Ggaliraaya.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Ye yennyini yagamba nti, “Nnabbi taweebwa kitiibwa mu nsi gy’asibuka.”
45 When therefore he was come into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all the things which he did at the feast: for they also had gone to the feast.
Awo Abagaliraaya ne bamwaniriza n’essanyu lingi nnyo, kubanga baali bamaze okulaba eby’amagero bye yakolera mu Yerusaalemi bwe baali ku Mbaga ey’Okuyitako.
46 Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain attendant on the king, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Yesu n’akomawo mu Kaana eky’e Ggaliraaya, gye yafuulira amazzi wayini. Waaliyo omukungu wa gavumenti ow’e Kaperunawumu eyalina mutabani we nga mulwadde.
47 This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point of death.
Omukungu bwe yawulira nga Yesu avudde e Buyudaaya azze e Ggaliraaya, n’agenda gy’ali n’amusaba agende amuwonyeze mutabani we eyali okumpi n’okufa.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Temusobola kunzikiriza nga temulabye ku bubonero na byamagero?”
49 The courtier said to him, Sir, come down before my child is dead.
Omukungu n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, nkusaba oserengete ojje ng’omwana wange tannafa!”
50 Jesus saith to him, Go home; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went home.
Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ggenda mutabani wo awonye!” Omusajja n’akkiriza Yesu ky’amugambye n’agenda.
51 And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son is recovered!
Naye bwe yali ng’akyali mu kkubo abaddu be ne bamusisinkana ne bamutegeeza nti mutabani we awonye.
52 Then inquired he of them the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him.
N’ababuuza ekiseera omulenzi we yassuukidde. Ne bamuddamu nti, “Jjo olw’eggulo essaawa nga musanvu omusujja ne gumuwonako!”
53 Then the father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole family.
Awo Kitaawe w’omulenzi n’ajjukira nga ky’ekiseera ekyo Yesu we yamugambira nti, “Mutabani wo awonye.” Awo omukungu oyo n’ab’enju ye bonna ne bakkiriza.
54 This is again a second miracle which Jesus did, when he came from Judea into Galilee.
Kino kye kyamagero ekyokubiri Yesu kye yakola ng’akomyewo e Ggaliraaya ng’avudde e Buyudaaya.
