John 4
1 When therefore the LORD knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes and immerses more disciples than John,
Awo Jesu nakaziba kuti ba Falisi bakamvwa kuti wakalikuba abasikwiya biingi mbakali kubbabaatizya kwinda Joni
2 (though indeed Jesus Himself was not immersing, but His disciples),
(nekuba kuti welwakwe mwini tensi wakali kubbabbatizya pe, pesi basikwiya bakwe mbabo bakali kubbabbatizya),
3 He left Judea and went away again to Galilee,
wakazwa mu Judiya wabweda lubo ku Galilaya.
4 and it was necessary [for] Him to go through Samaria.
Pesi chakalelede kuti ayinde mu Samaliya.
5 He comes, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;
Elyo wakasika mumunzi wamu Samaliya utegwa Sychal afwifwi achipanzi chanyika eyo Jakobo njakali wapa mwanakwe Josefa.
6 and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was thus sitting on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;
Chikala cha Jakobo chakaliwo. Jesu wakali wakatala kuzwa mulwendo lwakwe mpawo wakakkala kumbali achikala. Lyakali sikati.
7 there comes a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, “Give Me to drink”;
Umwi mukayintu mu Samaliya wakaza kuzoteka manzi, elyo Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Ndipe manzi nwe”.
8 for His disciples were gone away into the city that they may buy food;
Nkambo basikwiya bakwe bakali banjila mumunzi kuyowula kulya.
9 the Samaritan woman therefore says to Him, “How do You, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.
Mpawo mukayintu mu Samaliya wakamwambila kuti, “Chikonzeka buti, kuti webo nomu Juda undikumbile chakunywa imebo ndemukayintu mu Samaliya”. nkambo ma Juda tabakwe bulidilano pe ama Samaliya.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, Give Me to drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
Jesu wakasandula wati, “anoli walizi chipo cha Leza, akuti ngwani ukukumbila manzi, wayinokumbila nduwe, nkekupa manzi mawumi”.
11 The woman says to Him, “Lord, You do not even have a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; from where, then, have You the living water?
Mukayintu, wakati kulinguwe, “Yomwalumi, tokwe chakutesya pe mpawo chikala nchilamfu. Ani mpo ulaajanayi ayo manzi abuumi?
12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank out of it, and his sons, and his livestock?”
Tooli mupati, mbubo na, kwinda taata Jakobo, wakatupa chikala akunwa kuli nchicho lwakwe mwini, abana bakwe ambono zyabo?
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who is drinking of this water will thirst again;
Jesu wakasandula wati kulinguwe, “woonse unywa manzi amuchikala echi uyoba anyota lubo. Kufumbwa unywa manzi nginjomupa takoyoba a nyota limbi.
15 The woman says to Him, “Lord, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, ndipe manzi ayo kuchitilakuti nsikabi anyota akuti nsizoboli lubo kuzoteka manzi awa.”
16 Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here”;
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “koya, ukite mulumako, mpawo ubolano”
17 the woman answered and said, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus says to her, “Well did you say—I do not have a husband;
Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “nsikwe mulumi pe”. Jesu wakati, “waamba kasimpe kuti nsijisi mulumi pe”.
18 for you have had five husbands, and now, he whom you have is not your husband; you have said this correctly.”
Nkambo wakala baalumi musanu, ooyo ngolawe lino temulumako pe. Nzwawamba zilisinizizye.”
19 The woman says to Him, “Lord, I perceive that You are a prophet;
Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “mwami ndabona kuti ulimusinsimi.
20 our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and You say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is required to worship.”
Mataata esu bakali kukomba muchilundu echi pesi muti Jelusalema mbobusena bantu nkubelede kukombela.”
21 Jesus says to her, “Woman, believe Me, that there comes an hour when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father;
Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “yomukayintu ndisyome, chindi chilasika awo nemutakakombe Taata kutali muchilundu echi nabi mu Jelusalemu.
22 you worship what you have not known; we worship what we have known, because salvation is of the Jews;
Mukomba nchomutazi. Swebo tukomba nchetuzi, nkambo lufutuko luzwa kuba Juda.
23 but there comes an hour, and it now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also seeks such to worship Him;
Nekubaboobo chindi chilasika, nchenchichechi, awo bakomba mukasimpe mpobayomukomba Taata mumuya amubwini, nkambo Taata mbembabo bantu mbayandula kuti babe basikumukomba.
24 God [is] Spirit, and those worshiping Him should worship in spirit and truth.”
Leza ngumuya, aboobo bantu bamukomba belede kumukomba mumuya amubwini”.
25 The woman says to Him, “I have known that Messiah comes, who is called Christ, when that One may come, He will tell us all things”;
Mukayintu wakamwambila kuti, “ndilizi kuti Mesiya uyobuza( ooyo utegwa Kilisito)”. Nazosika uzotupandulwida zyonse.
26 Jesus says to her, “I who am speaking to you am [He].”
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “ndendime nguwe oyu uwambula ayebo”.
27 And on this came His disciples, and were wondering that He was speaking with a woman, no one, however, said, “What do You seek?” Or “Why do You speak with her?”
Aleecho chindi basikwiya bakwe bakaboola. Elyo bakagamba kuti nkamboyi nambula amukayintu, pesi taakwe wakamba kuti, “uyandayi?” na kuti “Nkamboyi nambula awe?”
28 The woman then left her water-jug and went away into the city, and says to the men,
Awo mukayintu ooyu wakasiya noongo yakwe yamanzi, wabweda kumunzi, wakwambila bantu,
29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things—as many as I did; is this the Christ?”
“kamuza, muzobone mwalumi wandambila zintu zyonse nzendakachita. Oyu tekujana waba Kilisito na, nkujana waba nguwe?”
30 They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming to Him.
Bakazwa mumunzi baza kulinguwe.
31 And in the meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat”;
Achindi nchichecho, basikwiya bakwe bakali kumukombelezya kuti “Rabbi, lya”
32 and He said to them, “I have food to eat that you have not known.”
Pesi wakati kulinguwe, “Ime ndakulya nkomutazi atala ankuko.”
33 The disciples then said to one another, “Did anyone bring Him anything to eat?”
Awo basikwiya bakakazyania akati kabo, “Takwe muntu wamwetela kulya pe, mpali na?”
34 Jesus says to them, “My food is that I may do the will of Him who sent Me, and may finish His work;
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “kulya kwangu nkuchita luyando lwayoyo wakandituma akumaninsizya mulimu wakwe.
35 do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest comes; behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white to harvest already.
Sa tamwambi kuti, 'kuchili myezi yoone nekutakabe goloka'? Ndokumwambila kuti, amunyampule meso anu mulange myunda, nkambo yabizwa kale yelela kutebulwa!
36 And he who is reaping receives a reward, and gathers fruit to continuous life, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together; (aiōnios g166)
Oyo utebula utambula chakufola akubungika michelo yabumi butamani, kuchitila kuti oyo ubyala ayooyo utebula bakakondwe antomwe. (aiōnios g166)
37 for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.
Mulichechi kalasinizya kambyo kati, “umwi ulabyala utebula ngumbi”.
38 I sent you to reap on that which you have not labored; others labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
Ndakamutuma kuyotebula nchemwakata lima. Bamwi bakalima, inywe mwakanjila mumilimu yabo.
39 And many from that city believed in Him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, “He told me all things—as many as I did.”
Bantu biingi bamu Samaliya bamumunzi oyu bakamusyoma nkambo ka mbakalungulula mukayintu wakali kupa bukamboni, “wandambila zyonse nzendakachita”.
40 When, then, the Samaritans came to Him, they were asking Him to remain with them, and He remained there two days;
Bantu bamu Samaliya nibakasika kulinguwe, bakamu kumbila kuti akkale aboo, wakakkala mumunzi oyu kwamazuba aabili.
41 and many more believed because of His word,
Kwakaba bambi biingibakamusyoma nkambo kajwi lyakwe.
42 and said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of your speaking; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Savior of the world—the Christ.”
Bakati kumukayintu ooyu, “Tatuchisyomi nkambo kanzwawamba pe, pesi nkambo swebo tobeni twalimvwida, mpawo twaziba kuti nsonzyo oyu mufutuli wanyika”
43 And after the two days He went forth from there, and went away to Galilee,
Nakiinda mazuba aya obile oko waya ku Galilaya.
44 for Jesus Himself testified that a prophet will not have honor in his own country;
Nkambo Jesu lwakwe mwini wakamba kuti musinsimi takwe bulemu muchisi mwazwa.
45 when then, He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all things that He did in Jerusalem in the celebration—for they also went to the celebration.
Nakasika mu Galilaya, bantu bamu Galilaya bakamutambula. Bakali bazibona zyonse nzyakali wachita mu Jelusalemu chindi chapobwe, nkambo abalabo bakaliko kupobwe
46 Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine, and there was a certain attendant, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,
Alimwi wakaboola lubo ku Kenani mu Galilaya, oko nkwaka sandula manzi kuba wayini. Elyo kwakali umwi sichuno ulemekwa wakala mwana wakali kuchiswa mu Kapenawume.
47 he, having heard that Jesus comes out of Judea to Galilee, went away to Him, and was asking Him that He may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.
Nakamvwa kuti Jesu wasika mu Galilaya kuzwa mu Judiya, wakaya kuli Jesu akumukumbila kuti aakaponie mwana wakwe, wakali wamba kufwa.
48 Jesus then said to him, “If you may not see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
Jesu mpawo wakati kuli kulinguwe, “Ado mubone zitondezyo azigambyo, tamukosyoma”.
49 The attendant says to Him, “Lord, come down before my child dies”;
Ooyu sichuno wakamwambila kuti, “Mwami, boola natana fwa mwanangu”.
50 Jesus says to him, “Be going on; your son lives.” And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,
Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “kooy. Mwanako ulapona”. Ooyu mwalumi wakasyoma majwi Jesu ngakamba kulinguwe, mpawo wakenda.
51 and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying, “Your child lives”;
Nakachili kuyobwenda wakaswanana aabalanda bakwe, bakamwambila kuti, mwanakwe muponi.
52 he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him”;
Elyo wakababuzya chindi mwanakwe nakatalika kumvwa kabotu. Bakamwambila kuti, “jilo sikati nakapona”
53 then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives,” and he himself believed, and his whole house;
Mpawo wisi wakayibalukwa kuti nchechindi awo Jesu, “Mwana wako wapona.” Elyo we lwakwe mwini abanganda yakwe bakasyoma.
54 this again [was] a second sign Jesus did, having come out of Judea to Galilee.
Echi chakaba chitondezyo chabili echo Jesu nchakachita nakazwa mu Judiya kaya mu Galilay.
