John 4
1 Accordingly when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John,"
Jesuh naw Johana kthaka Baptican jah pe lü, axüisaw hea jah pyangki tia mawng, Pharisee naw ngjakie.
2 (though Jesus himself was not accustomed to baptize, but his disciples),
(Akcanga ta, Jesuh amät naw baptican am jah pe, axüisaw he naw ami jah peta kyaki),
3 he left Judea and returned to Galilee.
Ami pyena mawng Jesuh naw a ngjak ja Judah khaw ceh ta lü, Kalile khaw da,
4 Now he had to pass through Samaria;
Samarih khaw sunpah lü cit yahki.
5 so he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Jakop naw a capa Josep üng a peta khaw pei, Samarih khaw hne Sukhar mlüha pha lawki.
6 Jacob’s Spring was there. So Jesus, tired out with his journey, was sitting thus by the spring.
Acuia Jakopa tuikhui veki. Jesuh lam a lawnak bawngbai lü, tuikhui peia ngawki. Acun cun mhnüp ngsunga kyaki.
7 It was about noon, and a woman of Samaria came to draw water.
Samarih nghnumi tui than khaia law se Jesuh naw, “Ka awk vai tui na pea,” a ti.
8 Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink" (for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.)
(Acun k'um üng, axüisaw he cun mlüh k’uma ei vai khyäi acun hea citkie.)
9 "How is it," answered the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask a drink from me, a woman, and a Samaritan?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Samarih nghnumi naw, “Ihawkba, nang Judah khyang naw, kei Samarih nghnumia veia tui na awk vai na täeiki ni?” ti lü, a kthäh be. (Judah khyang mjüe cun Samarih khyangea eiawknak tuikhawt üng eiawk am thum na u.)
10 "If you had known the free gift of God," Jesus answered, "and who it is that says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water."
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnam naw nang üng i ning pet hlüki ti am ksingki, u naw tui ning täeiki ti pi am ksingki. Na ksinga ta, angsäia xünnak tui ning pet vaia na na täei khai sü,” a ti.
11 "Sir," said the woman, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water?
Nghnumi naw, “Saja aw, tuikhui thuki, vähnak vai tuipung pi am na taki. Hawia kaa xünnak tui na taki ni?
12 Surely you are not greater than our Father Jacob, who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle, too?"
“Hina tuikhui, amät naw aw khawi lü, a cae ja, a khyüngseie naw pi ami awk khawi, kami pu Jakop naw a jah pet, nang ania kthaka kyäp bawk aih lü,” a ti.
13 "All who drink of this water," Jesus answered, "will thirst again;
Jesuh naw msang lü, “Hina tui awki naküt ta, tui cawi be ham khai.
15 "Sir!" exclaimed the woman, "give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty, nor come all this way to draw water."
Nghnumi naw, “Saja aw, tui am cawi ti lü, tui than khaia hia käh ka law be ti vaia, acuna tui na pea,” a ti.
16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and then come here."
Jesuh naw, “Cita, na cei va khü lü, law bea,” a ti.
17 "I have no husband," answered the woman. "You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’"Jesus said to her,
Nghnumi naw, “Ka cei am ve,” ti se, Jesuh naw, “Ka cei am ve na ti cang veki,
18 "for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband; in this you have spoken truly."
Na cei mhma ve pängki, tuh na vepüi pi na ceia am kya; acen üng akcang pyen veki,” a ti.
19 "I see, Sir, that you are a prophet," replied the woman.
Nghnumi naw, “Saja aw, sahma mata na kya khaia ning ksing veng.
20 "Our forefathers worshiped in this mountain, yet you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship."
“Kami pupae naw hina mcung üng Pamhnam a na hjawkhah khawikie. Nangmi Judahe naw, ‘Jerusalema ni Pamhnam hjawkhahnak’ nami tiki” a ti.
21 "Woman, believe me," said Jesus, "that the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Jesuh naw, “Nghnumi aw, ka pyen hin juma. Khyang he naw Pa cun ahina mcung ja Jerusalem mlüha am ami hjawkhahnak tia kcün pha law khai.
22 You are worshiping something you do not know. we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.
“Nangmi Samarihe naw nami hjawkhah am ksing uki. Cunüngpi, keimi Judahe naw ta u kami hjawkhahki ti kami ksingki. Isetiakyaküng, küikyannak cun Judahe üngka naw lawkia kyaki.
23 But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father is seeking such as his worshipers.
“Acunsepi, akcün pha law khai, hjawkhahkie naw Ngmüimkhya ja akcanga ami hjawkhah vai cun tukbäih yea kya ve. Pa naw acukba hjawkhah khaie jah hlüeiki.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
“Mhnam cun Ngmüimkhyaa kyaki. Hjawkhahki naküt naw Ngmüimkhya ja ngthungtak am hjawkhah yah vai,” a ti.
25 "I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything."
Nghnumi naw, “Mesijah law khai ti ka ksingki. Ani a law üng, ani naw ahmäi naküt jah mtheh law khai,” a ti.
26 Jesus said to her, "I who am now talking to you, am he."
Jesuh naw, “Nang ning ngthuheipüiki hin ani ni,” a ti.
27 Just then his disciples came up, and were astonished that he was talking with a woman; yet not one of them asked him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
Acunüng axüisaw he law bekie naw nghnumi am a na ngthuhei se hmuh u lü müncankie. Acunsepi, u naw pi, “I na ngaihki? Ise hina nghnumi na ngthuheipüiki ni?” ti lü, am kthäh u.
28 Then the woman left her water-jar, and went away into the city and began saying to the people.
Nghnumi naw a tui um hawih hüt lü, a lawnak khaw da citki naw khyange üng jah mtheh lü,
29 "Come! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did. He can’t be the Christ, can he?"
“Law ua, ka awmih khawi naküt ksingkia khyang mat ve ve, teng law u. Mesijah am niki aw?” a ti.
30 They left the city and set out to go to him.
Mlüh ceh ta u lü, Jesuha veia citkie.
31 Meanwhile the disciples kept urging him.
Acun k'um üng axüisaw he naw, “Rabbi, na ei eia” ti lü, ami mtheh.
32 "Rabbi," they said, "eat something." But he answered, "I have food to eat of which you know nothing."
Acunsepi Jesuh naw, “Nangmi naw am nami ksing ka ei vai ta veng,” a ti.
33 So the disciples began to say to one another, "Can any one have brought him something to eat?"
Axüisawe amimät üng, “A ei vai tha lawki veki aw” ti lü, ngthähkie.
34 Jesus said to them. "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Jesuh naw, “Na tüih lawkia a ngjak hlü bilawh ja, a khut kpäng vai cun keia eiawka kyaki ni.
35 Do you not say, ‘It wants yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you! Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, that they are already white for harvest.
“‘Khya kphyü ve hamki, acun käna cang ahnaka kcün pha law khai’ am nami ti khawiki aw? Teng u, ka ning jah mthehki, mang hü u lü, loe jah teng süm ua, hmin päng lü, ah vai kcün ve u.
36 The reaper is already receiving wages and gathering a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
“Atki naw ngkhyengnak yah lü anglät xünnak vaia a ktheipai mcun ve, sawki ja atki ani nghngih atänga je yüm khai xawi. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this respect the saying is true, ‘One sows, another reaps.’
“Ahin üng, ‘mat naw saw se, mat naw atki’ tia khuisui cun cang ve.
38 I sent you to reap a crop on which you have not toiled. Others have toiled, and you have reaped the benefit of their toil."
“Am nami khüinak khawia loa cang at khaia ka ning jah tüihki. Acuia akce he naw khüi u se, ami khüinak kce cun nangmia ngmangnak ni,” a ti.
39 Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman when she declared, "He told me everything that I ever did."
Acunüng, “Ka awmih naküt ksingki ve ve,” tia, ngthu, nghnumi naw a pyena phäha Samarih khyang khawhah naw Jesuh jum lawkie.
40 So when the Samaritans arrived, they began asking him to remain with them; and he stayed there two days.
Samarih khyange Jesuh veia ami law üng ami veia a ve vaia nghui na u se, acuia Jesuh cun mhnüp nghngih awmki.
41 Then many more believed because of what he said, himself; and they told the woman.
Jesuh a ngthu pyena phäh khyang khawkän naw jum lawkie.
42 "We no longer believe because of what you said. for we ourselves have heard him, and we know that this is certainly the Saviour of the world."
Acunakyase, nghnumia veia, “Tuh ta, nanga pyena phäha am kya lü, kamimät naw kami ngjak ja akcanga hin hin khawmdeka Küikyan Bawia kyaki ti, kami ksinga phäha kami jumki,” ami ti.
43 After these two days Jesus went away from there into Galilee.
Amhnüp nghngih käna, acun üngka naw Kalile hne da citki.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Isetiakyaküng, Jesuh amät naw, “Sahma cun amäta hminaka khawa mhlünmtainak am yah khawi naw,” a ti.
45 When he reached Galilee, however, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they, too, had been at the feast.
Jerusalem Lätnak Pawia cit u lü Pawi k’um üng Jesuh naw a jah pawhmsah naküt jah hmukie naw ta, Kalile khawa Jesuh a law üng, Kalile khyange naw dokhamkie.
46 So he came back again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. Now there was one of the king’s officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.
Acun käna Jesuh Kalile khaw Kana, tui cun capyituia a nglatnak sak hnüna law beki. Acuia khyang ngvai mat a capa Kapenawm mlüha a mhnatei veki.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and heal his son who was lying at the point of death.
Ani naw Jesuh Judah khaw üngka naw Kalile khawa lawki ti a ngjak üng, a capa thih law hlüki, law lü a mdaw law be vaia cit lü a va nghuinak.
48 Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe."
Jesuh naw, “U naw pi müncanksee ja cäiletnake am nami hmuh üng amdanga am jum hlü uki,” a ti.
49 "Sir," said the king’s officer, "come down before my little boy dies."
Khyang ngvai naw, “Saja aw, ka ca am a thih ham üng akjanga lawa,” a ti.
50 Jesus answered. "Go your way. Your son lives." And the man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and started to go home.
Jesuh naw, “Cit bea, na capa daw be khai ni,” a ti. Khyang ngvai cun Jesuha pyen jum lü nghlat beki.
51 And when he was already on his way down, his slaves met him, saying that his boy was living.
A nghlat be lama a mpyae naw a na khyum u lü, “Na capa dawei law be ve,” ti lü, ami mtheh.
52 So he asked them at what hour he had begun mend. They answered, "Yesterday, about one o’clock, the fever left him."
Ngvai naw iti üng a capa a daw law bea mawng jah kthäh se, amimi naw, “Müta, mü lam naji mat üng mhnat naw khyah ve,” ti lü, ami mtheh.
53 Then the father realized that it had left him at the very hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son lives," and he himself believed, and his whole household.
Jesuh naw, “Na capa daw be khai ni,” a tinaka kcüna kyaki ti a ksing. Acunakyase, amät ja a khuiim kyawnglawng ami van naw jumkie.
54 This is the second sign which Jesus performed, on returning from Judea to Galilee.
Ahin cun Jesuh Judah khaw üngka naw Kalile khawa a law käna anghngihnak müncankse a pawha kyaki.
