John 4
1 When therefore Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
Mafalisayo ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu akupata ŵakulijiganya ŵajinji ni kwabatisya kwapunda che Yohana.
2 (though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples, )
Nambo Che Yesu nsyene nganiŵabatisya ŵandu, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni ŵaŵabatisyaga ŵandu.
3 he left Judaea, and went again to Galilee.
Nipele, Che Yesu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatyosile ku Yudea ni kuuja ku Galilaya.
4 And he must necessarily pass through Samaria.
Mu ulendo wao ŵasachilwe kupita ku Samalia.
5 He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Nipele, ŵaiche ku Sikali musi umo wa ku Samalia, pachiŵandi ngunda u che Yusufu wapegwilwe ni che Yakobo atatigwe.
6 And Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with the journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Pelepo paliji ni chisima chi che Yakobo, nombe Che Yesu pakuŵa ŵapesile ni ulendo, ŵatemi mungulugulu chisima. Yaliji muusi lyuŵa pantwe.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.
Nipele jwankongwe jumo Msamalia ŵaiche kukuteka meesi. Ni Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Nguŵenda meesi gakung'wa.”
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Katema ko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵajile mu mmusi kukusuma yakulya.
9 The Samaritan woman saith to him, How is it that thou, who art a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
Nambo jwankongwe jo ŵatite, “Mmwejo Myahudi, ana nkukombola chinauli kuumenda meesi gakung'wa uneji jwankongwe Msamalia?” Ŵatite yele pakuŵa Ŵayahudi ngakukamulangana ni Ŵasamalia.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nkachimanyi chichi chakusaka Akunnungu kumpa ni ŵaani ŵakummenda meesi gakung'wa, nkammendile jwelejo, nombejo akampele meesi gagakwikanawo umi.”
11 The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Whence hast thou the living water?
Jwankongwe jo ŵatite, “Ambuje, mmwe nganinkola ngao ni chisima chi chilewipe nnope. Ana mpatile kwapi meesi gagakwikanawo umi go?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Ambuje ŵetu che Yakobo ni ŵatupele uweji chisima chi, nsyene ni ŵanagwe ni ilango yakwe ŵang'wele meesi ga chisima chi. Ana mmwejo nkulitenda jwankulu nnope kwapunda che Yakobo?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Every one that drinketh of this water, will thirst again;
Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Jwalijose juchang'we meesi ga chisima chi chijakole njota sooni.
15 The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
Jwankongwe jo ŵansalile, “Ambuje, nguŵenda meesi go kuti jinangole njota sooni ni ninaiche sooni pelepa kukuteka meesi.”
16 He saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Njaule nkaaŵilanje ŵankwenu, nkaiche pamo nawo pelepa.”
17 The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidst well, that thou hast no husband.
Jwankongwe jo ŵajanjile, “Uneji nganingola ŵalume.” Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njanjile yambone kuti nganinkola ŵalume.
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in this thou hast spoken truly.
Pakuŵa mwalombilwe kasano, ni jwannume junkutama nawo sambano jo nganaŵa ŵankwenu. Pelepo chinsasile cho chili chisyene.”
19 The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Jwankongwe jo ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, nguwona kuti mmwejo ndi jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
20 Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Achambuje ŵetu ŵa Chisamalia ŵaapopelele Akunnungu mwinani mwa chitumbi chi, nambo ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi nkuti, tukusachilwa kwapopelela Akunnungu ku Yelusalemu.”
21 Jesus saith to her, Believe me, woman, the hour is coming, when ye shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Amao, nkulupilile chinguchisala, chikaiche katema ngamwapopelela Atati mwinani mwa chitumbi chi atamuno ku Yelusalemu kula.
22 Ye worship that which ye know not; we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Ŵanyamwe Ŵasamalia nkwapopelela ŵangankwamanyilila, nambo uweji Ŵayahudi tukwamanyilila ŵatukwapopelela, pakuŵa ukulupusyo wa Akunnungu chiutyochele kwa litala lya Ŵayahudi.
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for such worshippers the Father seeketh.
Nambo chikaiche katema, sooni kaiche, ŵakupopelela kwa usyene chiŵaapopelele Atati achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni usyene. Pakuŵa Atati akwasaka ŵandu ŵakwapopelela chanti yeleyo.
24 God is a spirit; and they who worship must worship in spirit and in truth.
Akunnungu ali Mbumu, ni ŵakwapopelela ŵelewo ŵapopeleleje achilongoswaga ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kuumanyilila usyene.”
25 The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ); when he hath come, he will tell us all things.
Jwankongwe jo ŵansalile, “Ngumanyilila kuti chaiche Masiya jwakuŵilanjikwa Kilisito Jwakuwombola. Pachaiche chatumanyisye inayose.”
26 Jesus saith to her, I who speak to thee am he.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Uneji junguŵecheta nomwe ndili jwelejo.”
27 And upon this his disciples came, and marveled that he was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?
Papopo ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵausile, ŵasimosile ligongo ŵaasimene Che Yesu alinkukunguluka ni jwankongwe. Nambo ngapagwa jwalijose juŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Ana nkusaka chichi? Pane kwaligongo chi nkukunguluka ni jwankongwe?”
28 The woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
Jwankongwe jo ŵalesile lulo lwakwe palapala, ŵajawile mmusi ni kwasalila ŵandu achitiji,
29 Come, see a man who told me all things which I have done. Is this the Christ?
“Njisangane nkannole mundu jwasalile yanayose imbanganyisye! Ikukomboleka kuti jweleju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola?”
30 They went out of the city, and came to him.
Nipele ŵandu ŵakopweche mmusi ula ni kwajaulila Che Yesu.
31 In the mean while the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Katema kakoko ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵaliji nkwachondelela Che Yesu achitiji, “Chondechonde Jwakwiganya, ndye.”
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not of.
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uneji ngwete chakulya chingankuchimanyilila ŵanyamwe.”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, Hath any one brought him anything to eat?
Ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵatandite kuusyana achinsyene pe, “Ana kwana mundu jwanjigalile chakulya?”
34 Jesus saith to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Chakulya changu chili kutendekanya chakusaka aŵala ŵandumile ni kugamalisya masengo gao.
35 Do ye not say, There are yet four months, and the harvest cometh? Lo! I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.
Ŵanyamwe ngankuti, ‘Jisigalile miesi ncheche, pakwika katema ka kugungula?’ Nambo uneji ngunsalila nnole migunda ji jili chile kwa kugungula.
36 Already is the reaper receiving wages, and gathering fruit unto everlasting life; that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Jwakugungula akupochela mbote ni akukumbikanya pamo magungulo kuti gakole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, nipele jwakupanda asengwe yalumo ni jwakugungula. (aiōnios g166)
37 And herein is fulfilled the true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Chiŵecheto chi chili chisyene, ‘Jumo akupanda ni jwine akugungula.’
38 I have sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.
Uneji nantumile nkagungule magowolo ganganimpande ŵanyamwe, ŵane ŵapanganyisye masengo gakulimba, nambo gelego ginkupata ŵanyamwe gali kwa ligongo lya masengo gao.”
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him because of the words of the woman, who testified, He told me all things which I have done.
Ŵasamalia ŵajinji ŵa musi ula ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu kwa ligongo lya umboni wa maloŵe gaŵaŵechete jwankongwe jo gagakuti, “Asalile inayose imbanganyisye.”
40 When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to remain with them; and he remained there two days.
Ŵasamalia ŵajaulile Che Yesu ni kwachondelela atame pamo nawo, nombejo ŵatemi pepala moŵa gaŵili.
41 And many more believed on account of his word;
Nipele ŵandu ŵajinji nnope ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu ligongo lya maloŵe gao.
42 and said to the woman, No longer do we believe on account of what thou hast told us; for we have ourselves heard him, and know that this is in truth the Saviour of the world.
Ŵansalile jwankongwe jo, “Sano tukukulupilila ngaŵa kwaligongo lya kuŵecheta kwenu pe, nambo pakuŵa tupilikene twachinsyene, ni tukumanyilila kuti isyene ajuju ni Nkulupusyo jwa ŵandu ŵapachilambo.”
43 And after the two days he went from that place into Galilee.
Pagapite moŵa gaŵili Che Yesu ŵausile sooni ku Galilaya.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.
Pakuŵa Che Yesu nsyene ŵasasile pangasisa kuti, “Jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu ngakuchimbichikwa mchilambo chakwe nsyene.”
45 When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also went to the feast.
Paŵaiche ku Galilaya, ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakweleko ŵapochele, pakuŵa ŵanyawo nombe ŵaliji ku Yelusalemu kuchindimba cha Pasaka, ŵaiweni yose yaitesileje Che Yesu pachindimba.
46 So he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick, at Capernaum.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaujile sooni mmusi wa ku Kana, chilambo cha ku Galilaya, peuto paŵagatesile meesi gaŵe divai pala. Pepala paliji ni jwankulu jumo juŵaliji ni mwanache jwakulwala ku Kapelenaumu ko.
47 He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him, and asked him to go down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
Nipele jwankulu jo paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu atyosile ku Yudea ni kwika ku Galilaya, ŵajaulile ni kwachondelela ajaule ku Kapelenaumu akannamye mwanagwe juŵalwalaga kuŵandichila kuwa.
48 Then Jesus said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankwakulupilila Akunnungu pangaiwona imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka!”
49 The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down before my child die.
Jwankulu jo ŵanjanjile, “Ambuje, chondechonde tujaule mwanangu akanaŵe kuwa.”
50 Jesus saith to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and went away.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njauleje, mwanagwenu chalame.” Mundu jo ŵalikulupilile liloŵe liŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu ni ŵajawile.
51 And as he was now going down, the servants met him, and brought word that his child was living.
Paŵaliji nkutuluka, ŵasimene ni achikapolo ŵao ni ŵansalile kuti mwanache jwao alamile.
52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he began to mend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
Nombejo ŵausisye katema kaŵatandite mwanagwe kupata eja, ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Ulwele wannesile liiso saa saba ja musi.”
53 So the father knew that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son is living. And he himself believed, and his whole house.
Nipele atati jo ŵajimanyilile kuti jaliji saa jilajila jiŵasalilwe ni Che Yesu kuti, “Mwanagwenu chalame.” Pelepo nsyene pamo ni achalongo ŵakwe wose ŵankulupilile Che Yesu.
54 This again, a second sign, Jesus wrought, when he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Chelechi chaliji chimanyisyo cha kusimosya chaaŵili chiŵachipanganyisye Che Yesu paŵatyosile ku Yudea kuuja ku Galilaya.
