John 4
1 Jesus, knowing that the Pharisees were informed that he made and immersed more disciples than John,
Naizvozvo Ishe paakaziva kuti VaFarisi vakange vanzwa kuti Jesu anoita nekubhabhatidza vadzidzi vakawanda kupfuura Johwani,
2 (though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who immersed, )
kunyange Jesu pachake wakange asingabhabhatidzi, asi vadzidzi vake,
3 left Judea, and returned to Galilee.
akabva Judhiya, akaendazve muGarirea.
4 Being obliged to pass through Samaria,
Asi wakange achifanira kugura neSamaria.
5 he came to a Samaritan city, called Sychar, near the heritage which Jacob gave his son Joseph.
Zvino wakasvika paguta reSamaria rinonzi Sikari, pedo nedunhu Jakobho raakange apa Josefa mwanakomana wake.
6 Now Jacob's well was there. And Jesus, wearied with the journey, sat down by the well, it being about the sixth hour.
Zvino chitubu chaJakobho chakange chiripo. Naizvozvo Jesu aneta nerwendo wakagara saizvozvo pachitubu. Raiva awa rinenge rechitanhatu.
7 A woman of Samaria, having come to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give me some drink,
Kwakasvika mukadzi achibva muSamaria kuzochera mvura; Jesu akati kwaari: Ndipe ndinwe.
8 (for his disciples were gone into the city to buy food; )
(Nokuti vadzidzi vake vakange vaenda muguta kunotenga kudya).
9 the Samaritan woman answered, How is it, that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (For the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)
Naizvozvo mukadzi ari muSamaria wakati kwaari: Sei iwe uri muJudha uchikumbira kunwa kwandiri, mukadzi muSamaria? Nokuti VaJudha havadyidzani neVaSamaria.
10 Jesus replied, If you knew the bounty of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me some drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.
Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Dai waiziva chipo chaMwari, uye kuti ndiani anoti kwauri: Ndipe ndinwe; ungadai waikumbira kwaari, uye ungadai akupa mvura mhenyu.
11 She answered, Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep: whence, then, have you the living water?
Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, hamuna chinhu chekucheresa, uye tsime rakadzika; zvino munoitora kupi mvura mhenyu?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Imwi muri mukuru kuna baba vedu Jakobho, vakatipa tsime, vakanwa pariri ivo, nevana vavo, nezvipfuwo zvavo here?
13 Jesus replied, Whosoever drinks of this water, will thirst again;
Jesu akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Ani nani anonwa pamvura iyi, achava nenyotazve;
15 The woman answered, Sir, give me this water, that I may never be thirsty, nor come hither to draw.
Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndipei mvura iyi, kuti ndirege kuva nenyota, kana kuuya pano kuzochera.
16 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come back.
Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, unodana murume wako, ugouya pano.
17 She answered, I have no husband. Jesus replied, You say well, I have no husband;
Mukadzi akapindura ndokuti: Handina murume. Jesu akati kwaari: Wareva zvakanaka kuti: Handina murume.
18 for you have have had five husbands; and he whom you now have, is not your husband. In this, you have spoken truth.
Nokuti wakava nevarume vashanu, uyo waunaye ikozvino haasi murume wako; apa wareva chokwadi.
19 The woman said, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndinoona kuti imwi muri muporofita.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place, where me ought to worship.
Madzibaba edu ainamata mugomo iri; asi imwi munoti muJerusarema ndimo munzvimbo munhu yaanofanira kunamatapo.
21 Jesus answered, Woman, believe me, the time approaches when you shall neither come to this mountain, nor go to Jerusalem, to worship the Father.
Jesu akati kwaari: Mukadzi, nditende, kuti awa rinouya, ramuchashumira Baba musiri mugomo iri, kana paJerusarema.
22 You worship what you know not, we worship what we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
Imwi munonamata chamusingazivi; isu tinoshumira chatinoziva; nokuti ruponeso rwunobva kuVaJudha.
23 But the time comes, or, rather, is come, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such are the worshipers whom the Father requires.
Asi awa rinouya, uye ratova iro, apo vanamati vechokwadi vachanamata Baba mumweya nemuchokwadi; nokutiwo Baba vanotsvaka vakadaro kuti vavanamate.
24 God is Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and truth.
Mwari Mweya; neavo vanomunamata vanofanira kunamata mumweya nemuchokwadi.
25 The woman replied, I know that the Messiah comes, (that is, Christ; ) when he is come, he will teach us all things.
Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ndinoziva kuti Mesiasi anouya anonzi Kristu; kana iye asvika, achatiudza zvinhu zvese.
26 Jesus said to her, I who speak to you, am he.
Jesu akati kwaari: Ini ndinotaura kwauri, ndini.
27 Upon this, his disciples came, and wondered that he talked with a woman; yet none of them said, What do you seek? or, Why do you talk with her?
Zvino nenguva iyi vadzidzi vake vakasvika, vakashamisika kuti anotaura nemukadzi; asi hakuna umwe wakati: Munotsvakei? Kana: Munotaurirei naye?
28 Then the woman left her pitcher, and having gone into the city, said to the people,
Naizvozvo mukadzi akasiya chirongo chake, ndokubva oenda muguta, akati kuvanhu:
29 Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is this not the Messiah?
Uyai, muone munhu, wandiudza zvinhu zvese zvandakaita; ko uyu haasi iye Kristu here?
30 They, accordingly, went out of the city, and came to him.
Naizvozvo vakabuda muguta, vakauya kwaari.
31 Meanwhile, the disciples entreating him, said, Rabbi, eat.
Zvichakadaro vadzidzi vakamunyengetedza vachiti: Rabhi, idyai.
32 He answered, I have food to eat which you know not.
Asi iye wakati kwavari: Ini ndine kudya kwekudya kwamusingazivi imwi.
33 Then said his disciples, one to another, Has any man brought him food?
Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakataurirana vachiti: Kuti pane umwe wamuvigira zvekudya?
34 Jesus answered, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.
Jesu akati kwavari: Zvekudya zvangu ndizvo kuti ndiite chido chewakandituma, nekupedza basa rake.
35 Do you not say, After four months comes harvest? But I say, Lift up your eyes, and survey the fields; for they are already white enough for harvest.
Imwi hamutauri here kuti: Kuchine mwedzi mina, zvino kukohwa kunosvika? Tarirai, ndinoti kwamuri: Simudzai meso enyu, muone minda, kuti yatochenera kukohwa.
36 The reaper receives wages, and gathers the fruits of eternal life, that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Zvino anokohwa anogamuchira mubairo, uye anounganidza zvibereko muupenyu husingaperi; kuti vaviri anokusha neanokohwa vafare pamwe. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this, the proverb is verified, One sows, and another reaps.
Nokuti pane izvi shumo ndeyechokwadi inoti: Umwe anokusha, uye umwe anokohwa.
38 I sent you to reap that on which you have bestowed no labor: others labored, and you get possession of their labors.
Ini ndakakutumai kukohwa zvamusakashandira; vamwe vakashanda, zvino imwi mapinda pabasa ravo.
39 Now, many Samaritans of that city believed him, on the testimony of the woman, who said, He told me all that ever I did.
Zvino vazhinji veVaSamaria kubva muguta iro vakatenda kwaari nekuda kweshoko remukadzi, rakapupura richiti: Wandiudza zvese zvandakaita.
40 When, therefore, they came to him, they besought him to stay with them; and he staid there two days.
Zvino VaSamaria vakati vachisvika kwaari, vakamunyengetedza kuti agare navo; ndokugarapo mazuva maviri.
41 And many more believed, because of what they heard from himself;
Vazhinji vakawedzerwa vakatenda nekuda kweshoko rake.
42 and they said to the woman, It is not, now, on account of what you have reported, that we believe; for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is truly the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.
Zvino vakati kumukadzi: Hatichatendi nekuda kwekureva kwako; nokuti tazvinzwira, uye tinoziva kuti uyu ndiye zvirokwazvo Muponesi wenyika, Kristu.
43 After the two days, Jesus departed, and went to Galilee,
Zvino shure kwemazuva maviri wakabvapo, ndokuenda kuGarirea;
44 for he had himself declared that a prophet is not regarded in his own country.
nokuti Jesu amene wakapupura kuti muporofita haana rukudzo munyika yekwake.
45 Being come into Galilee, he was well received by the Galileans, who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem, during the festival; for they likewise attended the festival.
Zvino wakati asvika kuGarirea, VaGarirea vakamugamuchira, vaona zvinhu zvese zvaakaita paJerusarema pamabiko, nokuti naivo vakange vaenda kumabiko.
46 Then Jesus returned to Cana, of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain officer of the court, whose son lay sick at Capernaum,
Zvino Jesu wakasvikazve paKana yeGarirea, paakange aita mvura ive waini. Zvino pakange pane rimwe jinda, mwanakomana waro wakange achirwara paKapenaume.
47 who having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and entreated him to come and cure his son, who was dying.
Iro rakati richinzwa kuti Jesu wabva Judhiya akasvika kuGarirea, rikaenda kwaari, rikamugombedzera kuti aburukire aporese mwanakomana waro; nokuti wakange odofa.
48 Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and prodigies, you will not believe.
Naizvozvo Jesu akati kwariri: Kunze kwekuti maona zviratidzo nezvishamiso, hamungatongotendi.
49 The officer answered, Come, Sir, before my child die.
Jinda rikati kwaari: Ishe, burukai mwana wangu asati afa.
50 Jesus replied, Go your way. Your son is well. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went his way.
Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, mwanakomana wako anorarama. Munhu ndokutenda shoko Jesu raakareva kwaari, akaenda.
51 As he was returning, his servants met him, and informed him that his son was well.
Zvino wakati oburuka, varanda vake vakamuchingamidza, vakamuudza vachiti: Mwana wenyu anorarama.
52 He then inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They answered, Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
Zvino akavabvunza awa raakatanga kunaya. Zvino vakati kwaari: Zuro neawa rechinomwe fivhiri yakamuregedza.
53 Then the father knew, that it was the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son is well; and he, and all his family, believed.
Naizvozvo baba vakaziva kuti maiva imo muawa Jesu maakati kwaari: Mwanakomana wako anorarama; zvino akatenda iye neimba yake yese.
54 This second miracle Jesus performed, after returning from Judea to Galilee.
Ichizve chiratidzo chechipiri Jesu chaakaita, abva Judhiya asvika Garirea.
