< John 4 >

1 When therefore Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
अब जब यूहन्‍नाले भन्‍दा येशूले धेरै चेलाहरू बनाउँदै हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो र बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो भनी फरिसीहरूले सुने भन्‍ने उहाँले थाहा गर्नुभयो,
2 (though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples, )
(यद्यपि येशू आफैँले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्‍नथ्यो, तर उहाँका चेलाहरूले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै थिए)
3 he left Judaea, and went again to Galilee.
उहाँ यहूदिया छोडेर गालीलतिर जानुभयो ।
4 And he must necessarily pass through Samaria.
तर उहाँ सामरिया भएर जानु आवश्‍यक थियो ।
5 He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
त्‍यसैले, उहाँ याकूबले आफ्नो छोरा योसेफलाई दिएका जग्‍गाको टुक्रा नजिक रहेको सामरियाको सुखार भनिने एउटा सहरमा आउनुभयो ।
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.
त्यहाँ याकूबको इनार थियो । येशू आफ्नो यात्राले थाक्‍नुभयो र इनारको छेउमा बस्‍नुभयो । यो छैठौँ घडीतिरको कुरा थियो ।
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.
एक जना सामरी स्‍त्री पानी लिन आइन् र येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई पिउन थोरै पानी देऊ ।”
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
किनभने उहाँका चेलाहरू खानेकुरा किन्‍न सहरतिर गएका थिए ।
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.
त्‍यसपछि सामरी स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “तपाईं एक जना यहूदी भएर पनि म एउटी सामरी स्‍त्रीसँग कसरी पिउने कुरा माग्‍नुभएको?” किनकि यहूदीहरूले समारीहरूसँग कुनै किसिमको लेनदेन गर्दैनन् ।
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.
येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्‍नुभयो, “यदि तिमीले परमेश्‍वरको वरदानलाई चिनेकी भए र ‘मलाई पिउन देऊ’ भनिरहनुहुनेलाई चिनेकी भए, तिमीले चाहिँ उनीसँग माग्‍ने थियौ, र उनले तिमीलाई जिउँदो पानी दिने थिए ।”
11 The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Whence hast thou the living water?
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन्, “महाशय, तपाईंसित बाल्‍टिन छैन; इनार पनि गहिरो छ । अनि तपाईंसँग जिउँदो पानी कहाँ छ त?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
के तपाईं हाम्रा पुर्खा याकूबभन्‍दा महान् हुनुहुन्‍छ जसले हामीलाई इनार दिनुभयो र उहाँ आफैँले पनि यही इनारबाट पानी पिउनुभयो र उहाँका सन्‍तानहरू र उहाँका गाईवस्‍तुहरूले पनि पिए?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Every one that drinketh of this water, will thirst again;
येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्‍नुभयो, “हरेक जस‍ले यो पानी पिउँछ, त्यो फेरि तिर्खाउनेछ,
14 but whoever drinketh of the water that I will give him, will never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become within him a well of water springing up to everlasting life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
तर जसले मैले दिने पानी पिउँछ, त्यो फेरि कहिल्यै तिर्खाउनेछैन । बरु, मैले दिने त्यो पानी त्‍यसको अन्‍तस्‍करणमा अनन्‍त जीवनसम्‍मै उम्रिरहने पानीको मूल बन्‍नेछ ।” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, मलाई यो पानी दिनुहोस्, ताकि म फेरि तिर्खाउनेछैन र यहाँ पानी लिन आउनुपर्नेछैन ।”
16 He saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो लोग्‍नेलाई बोलाऊ, र यहाँ आऊ ।”
17 The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidst well, that thou hast no husband.
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन् र भनिन्, “मेरो लोग्‍ने छैन ।” येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “‘मेरो लोग्‍ने छैन’ भनी तिमीले साँचो भनेकी छ्यौ ।
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in this thou hast spoken truly.
किनकि तिम्रा पाँच जना लोग्‍ने भइसकेका छन् र अहिले भएको पनि तिम्रो लोग्‍ने होइन । तिमीले भनेकी कुरो साँचो हो ।”
19 The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, तपाईं अगमवक्‍ता हुनुहुन्छ भनी म देख्‍छु ।
20 Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले यही पर्वतमा आराधना गरे, तर मानिसहरूले आराधना गर्नुपर्ने स्‍थान यरूशलेम नै हो भनी तपाईंहरू भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।”
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.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हे नारी, मलाई विश्‍वास गर । समय आइरहेको छ, तिमीहरूले पितालाई न यो पर्वतमा न त यरूशलेममा नै आराधना गर्नेछौ ।
22 Ye worship that which ye know not; we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
तिमीहरूले जे जान्दैनौ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौ । हामी जे जान्दछौँ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौं, किनकि उद्धार यहूदीहरूबाट नै आउँछ ।
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.
तापनि, साँचा आराधकहरूले पितालाई आत्‍मा र सत्‍यतामा आराधना गर्ने बेला आइरहेको छ र त्यो अहिले नै हो, किनकि पिताले आफ्ना आराधकहरू हुन यस्‍ता मानिसहरूको खोजी गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍छ ।
24 God is a spirit; and they who worship must worship in spirit and in truth.
परमेश्‍वर आत्‍मा हुनुहुन्‍छ र उहाँलाई आराधना गर्ने मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई आत्‍मा र सत्‍यतामा आराधना गर्नुपर्छ ।”
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.
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “(ख्रीष्‍ट भनिने) मसीह आउँदै हुनुहुन्‍छ भन्‍ने मलाई थाहा छ, जब उहाँ आउनुहुन्‍छ, उहाँले हामीलाई सबै कुरा बताउनुहुनेछ ।”
26 Jesus saith to her, I who speak to thee am he.
येशूले त्यसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीसँग कुराकानी गरिरहने, म उही नै हुँ ।”
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?
त्‍यही बेला उहाँका चेलाहरू आइपुगे । उहाँ स्‍त्रीसित किन कुराकानी गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍थ्यो भनी तिनीहरू चकित भइरहेका थिए, तर “तपाईं के चाहनुहुन्‍छ?” वा “किन तपाईं त्‍यससँग कुराकानी गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍छ?” भनी कसैले पनि भनेन ।
28 The woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
त्‍यसैले, ती स्‍त्रीले आफ्नो गाग्रो छोडेर सहरतिर गइन् र मानिसहरूलाई भनिन्,
29 Come, see a man who told me all things which I have done. Is this the Christ?
“आओ, मैले गरेका सबै कुराहरू मलाई बताइदिनुहुने मानिसलाई हेर । उहाँ नै ख्रीष्‍ट हुन सक्छ, हुन सक्दैन त?”
30 They went out of the city, and came to him.
तिनीहरू सहरबाट उहाँकहाँ आए ।
31 In the mean while the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
त्‍यसै बेला चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यसो भन्‍दै अनुरोध गरिरहेका थिए, “रब्‍बी, खानुहोस् ।”
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not of.
तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मसँग खानेकुरा छ जुन तिमीहरू जान्दैनौ ।”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, Hath any one brought him anything to eat?
त्‍यसकारण, चेलाहरूले एक आपसमा भने, “उहाँलाई कुनै खानेकुरा कसैले ल्‍याएको छैन, ल्‍याएको छ र?”
34 Jesus saith to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जसले मलाई पठाउनुभयो, उहाँको इच्‍छा र उहाँको काम पुरा गर्नु नै मेरो खानेकुरा हो ।
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.
अझ पनि चार महिना छ र त्‍यसपछि कटनी गर्ने समय आउनेछ भनी के तिमीहरू भन्‍दैनौ? म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍दै छु, हेर र खेतलाई देख, किनकि तिनीहरू कटनीको निम्‍ति अगि नै पाकिसकेका छन् ।
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)
जसले कटनी गर्छ, त्यसले ज्याला पाउँछ र अनन्‍त जीवनको निम्‍ति फल बटुल्‍छ, ताकि छर्ने र कटनी गर्ने सँगसँगै रमाउन सकून् । (aiōnios g166)
37 And herein is fulfilled the true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth.
किनकि एउटाले छर्छ र अर्काले कटनी गर्छ भन्‍ने यो भनाइ यसैमा साँचो छ ।
38 I have sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.
तिमीहरूले काम नगरेका कुरा कटनी गर्न मैले तिमीहरूलाई पठाएँ । अरूहरूले काम गरेका छन्, र तिमीहरू उनीहरूका श्रममा प्रवेश गरेका छौ ।”
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.
“मैले गरेका सबै कुरा उहाँले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो” भनी स्‍त्रीले दिएको गवाहीले गर्दा त्‍यस सहरमा बसोबास गर्ने धेरै सामरीहरूले उहाँमा विश्‍वास गरे ।
40 When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to remain with them; and he remained there two days.
त्यसैले, जब सामरीहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूसँग बस्‍न आग्रह गरे र उहाँ त्‍यहाँ दुई दिन बस्‍नुभयो ।
41 And many more believed on account of his word;
उहाँको वचनको कारणले गर्दा धेरै जनाले विश्‍वास गरे ।
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.
तिनीहरूले ती स्‍त्रीलाई भने, “तिमीले भनेकी कारणले हामी विश्‍वास गर्दैनौँ, किनकि हामी आफैँले सुनेका छौँ र हामी जान्दछौँ, कि उहाँ नै संसारका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्‍छ ।”
43 And after the two days he went from that place into Galilee.
दुई दिनपछि उहाँ त्‍यहाँबाट गालील प्रस्थान गर्नुभयो ।
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.
किनकि येशू आफैँले घोषणा गर्नुभयो, कि अगमवक्‍तालाई उसको आफ्नै गाउँमा आदर गरिँदैन ।
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.
जब उहाँ गालीलमा आउनुभयो, गालीलीहरूले उहाँलाई स्‍वागत गरे । यरूशलेमको चाडमा उहाँले गर्नुभएका सबै कुराहरू तिनीहरूले देखेका थिए, किनकि तिनीहरू पनि चाडमा गएका थिए ।
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.
अब उहाँले पानीलाई दाखमद्यमा परिणत गर्नुभएको गालीलको काना सहरमा उहाँ फेरि आउनुभयो । त्यहाँ एक जना राजकीय अधिकारी थिए जसको छोरा कर्फनहुममा बिरामी थिए ।
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.
जब येशू यहूदियाबाट गालील आउनुभएको तिनले सुने, तिनी येशूकहाँ गए र उहाँ आएर तिनका मर्न लागेका छोरालाई निको पारिदिनुहोस् भनी उहाँलाई बिन्‍ती गरे ।
48 Then Jesus said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
तब येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “चिह्न‍हरू र आश्‍चर्यकर्महरू नदेखेसम्‍म तिमीहरूले विश्‍वास गर्नेछैनौ ।”
49 The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down before my child die.
ती अधिकारीले उहाँलाई भने, “महाशय, मेरो छोरो मर्नुअगावै आउनुहोस् ।”
50 Jesus saith to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and went away.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्‍छ ।” येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभएको वचन तिनले विश्‍वास गरे, र तिनी आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
51 And as he was now going down, the servants met him, and brought word that his child was living.
तिनी जाँदै गर्दा, तिनका छोरो जीवित भए भन्दै तिनका नोकरहरूले तिनलाई भेटे ।
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.
यसकारण, उसको सुधार कति बेलादेखि भएको थियो भनी तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हिजो सातौँ घडीमा उसलाई ज्‍वरोले छोड्यो ।”
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.
त्‍यसपछि यो येशूले “तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्‍छ” भन्‍नुभएको घडी थियो भन्‍ने ती बुबाले महसुस गरे । यसकारण तिनी र तिनका आफ्ना सम्‍पूर्ण घरानाले विश्‍वास गरे ।
54 This again, a second sign, Jesus wrought, when he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.
येशू यहूदियाबाट गालीलमा आउँनुहुँदा उहाँले गर्नुभएको यो दोस्रो चिह्न‍ थियो ।
