John 4
1 When therefore Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
Yesu huu se Farisifo no ate sɛ nnipa pii reba ne nkyɛn ama wabɔ wɔn asu sen sɛnea nnipa kɔ Yohane nkyɛn,
2 (though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples, )
a na ɛnyɛ Yesu ankasa na ɔbɔ asu no, na mmom nʼasuafo no na wɔbɔ asu.
3 he left Judaea, and went again to Galilee.
Enti ofii Yudea san kɔɔ Galilea.
4 And he must necessarily pass through Samaria.
Ɔrekɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa Samaria.
5 He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Ɛbɛyɛ sɛ owigyinae no, na Yesu abɛn Samaria kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Sikar a ɛbɛn asase bi a Yakob de maa ne ba Yosef no ho.
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.
Ɛhɔ na na Yakob abura wɔ. Esiane ɔbrɛ a na Yesu abrɛ nti, ɔtenaa abura no ho sɛ ɔregye nʼahome. Na saa bere no bɛyɛ awia nnɔndumien.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.
Ankyɛ na Samarianibea bi baa hɔ bɛtow nsu maa Yesu srɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma me nsu no bi nnom.”
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Saa bere no na Yesu asuafo no kɔ kurow no mu akɔtɔ aduan.
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.
Samarianibea no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Ɛyɛ me nwonwa sɛ wo a woyɛ Yudani rebisa nsu afi me a meyɛ Samariani nkyɛn.” Na Yudafo ne Samariafo nni hwee yɛ.
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.
Yesu buaa no se, “Sɛ wunim akyɛde a Onyankopɔn de ma onipa anaa onipa ko a ɔresrɛ wo nsu yi a anka wobɛsrɛ no na wama wo nkwa nsu.”
11 The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Whence hast thou the living water?
Ɔbea no bisae se, “Owura, wunni hama, nni bokiti; abura yi mu nso dɔ yiye, na ɛhe na wubenya saa nkwa nsu no afi?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Woyɛ ɔkɛse sen yɛn agya Yakob a otuu abura yi maa yɛn na ɔne ne mma, ne nguan ne nʼanantwi nom mu nsu bi no ana?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Every one that drinketh of this water, will thirst again;
Yesu buaa no se, “Obiara a ɔnom saa nsu yi bi no, osukɔm de no bio,
15 The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
Ɔbea no srɛɛ no se, “Owura, ma me saa nkwa nsu yi bi na osukɔm anne me bio, na daa mantwa kwan ammɛtow nsu.”
16 He saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔfrɛ wo kunu na wo ne no mmra.”
17 The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidst well, that thou hast no husband.
Ɔbea no buaa no se, “Me wura, minni kunu.” Yesu nso kae se, “Asɛm a woaka no yɛ nokware, sɛ wunni kunu no.
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in this thou hast spoken truly.
Woaware mmarima baanum agyae na ɔbarima a wo ne no wɔ hɔ mprempren no nyɛ wo kunu mpo.”
19 The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Ɔbea no kae se, “Owura, mihu sɛ woyɛ odiyifo.
20 Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Yɛn agyanom Samariafo som Onyankopɔn wɔ saa bepɔw yi so, nanso mo Yudafo de, moka se Yerusalem nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsom Nyankopɔn.”
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.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Merema woate ase sɛ bere bi bɛba a nnipa rensom Agya no wɔ saa bepɔw yi so anaa Yerusalem.”
22 Ye worship that which ye know not; we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Mo Samariafo nnim nea mosom no. Nanso yɛn Yudafo de, yenim nea yɛsom no, efisɛ Yudafo so na nkwagye nam ba.
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.
Nna bi reba, na mpo aba dedaw, sɛ nokware asomfo bɛsɔre Agya no wɔ Honhom ne nokware mu. Eyinom ne asomfo a Agya no hwehwɛ.
24 God is a spirit; and they who worship must worship in spirit and in truth.
Onyankopɔn yɛ Honhom, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔsom no no som no wɔ Honhom ne nokware mu.
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.
Ɔbea no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Minim sɛ Agyenkwa no a wɔfrɛ no Kristo no bɛba, na sɛ ɔba a ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn biribiara mu.”
26 Jesus saith to her, I who speak to thee am he.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me a me ne wo rekasa yi, mene Kristo no.”
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?
Yesu ano sii pɛ na nʼasuafo no san bae. Ɛyɛɛ asuafo no nwonwa sɛ wɔbɛtoo Yesu sɛ ɔne ɔbea bi redi nkɔmmɔ. Nanso wɔn mu biara ammisa ɔbea no nea ɔrehwehwɛ ne Yesu nso, nea enti a ɔne saa ɔbea no redi nkɔmmɔ no.
28 The woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
Afei ɔbea yi gyaw nʼasuhina no hɔ san kɔɔ kurow no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfo se,
29 Come, see a man who told me all things which I have done. Is this the Christ?
“Mommra mmɛhwɛ ɔbarima bi a waka kokoa mu nneɛma a mayɛ akyerɛ me! Anaa ɔno ne Agyenkwa no?”
30 They went out of the city, and came to him.
Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm yi nyinaa bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ Yesu.
31 In the mean while the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Afei asuafo no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, didi.”
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not of.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mewɔ aduan a midi a munnim ho hwee.”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, Hath any one brought him anything to eat?
Ɛmaa asuafo no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Obi abrɛ no aduan bi ana?”
34 Jesus saith to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Yesu buae se, “Mʼaduan ne sɛ meyɛ nea ɔsomaa me no apɛde, na miwie dwuma a ɔde maa me sɛ mimmedi no.
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.
Moka se, ‘Asram anan mu, otwabere bedu.’ Mummue mo ani nhwɛ mo ho nhyia, na muhu sɛ aburow awo a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, otwabere adu!
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)
Otwafo nya nʼakatua a ɛsɛ no, na ɔboaboa nea watwa no ano ma nkwa a ɛnsa da. Eyi ma nea odua ne nea otwa no nyinaa ani gye. (aiōnios g166)
37 And herein is fulfilled the true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Ɛyɛ nokware pefee sɛ, ‘Obi dua na obi twa.’
38 I have sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.
Mesomaa mo kɔɔ baabi sɛ munkotwa nea monyɛe ho adwuma ɛ. Nnipa afoforo na wɔayɛ adwumaden, na mo de, moanya mfaso afi adwuma a wɔayɛ no mu.”
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.
Esiane adanse a Samarianibea no di faa Yesu ho se, “Waka biribiara a mayɛ akyerɛ me” no nti, kurow no mu hɔfo pii gyee Yesu dii sɛ ɔno ne Mesaia no.
40 When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to remain with them; and he remained there two days.
Enti bere a Samariafo no baa Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena wɔn nkyɛn. Ɔpenee so dii nnaanu wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
41 And many more believed on account of his word;
Ne nsɛm no nti nnipa bebree gyee no dii.
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.
Nnipa a wogyee no dii no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Ɛnyɛ adanse a wubedii no nti na yegye no di, na mmom nsɛm a yɛate sɛ ɔka no nti na yɛagye no adi. Na yenim sɛ ɔno ne wiase Agyenkwa no.”
43 And after the two days he went from that place into Galilee.
Nnaanu akyi no, Yesu fii kurow no mu kɔɔ Galilea.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Yesu aka se, “Odiyifo biara nni anuonyam wɔ ne man mu” de, nanso
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.
esiane nea Galileafo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem wɔ Twam Afahyɛ bere no mu no huu nea Yesu yɛe no nti, oduu Galilea no wogyee no.
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.
Ɔsan kɔɔ Kana a ɛwɔ Galilea, faako a ɔmaa nsu dan nsa hɔ no bio. Yesu wɔ hɔ no ɔhene somfo panyin bi a na ne ba yare wɔ Kapernaum no
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.
tee ne nka sɛ ofi Yudea aba Galilea hɔ. Saa ɔbarima yi kɔɔ Kana kohuu Yesu, srɛɛ no se ɔne no nkɔ Kapernaum nkɔsa ne ba a na ɔyare a ɔreyɛ awu no yare mma no.
48 Then Jesus said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
Yesu kae se, “Menyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne nkyerɛ mo ansa na moagye me adi ana?”
49 The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down before my child die.
Ɔsomfo panyin no de ahoyeraw ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, ma yɛnkɔ ntɛm, anyɛ saa a me ba no bewu.”
50 Jesus saith to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and went away.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ fie na wo ba no ho ayɛ no den!” Ɔsomfo panyin no gyee asɛm a Yesu kae no dii na osii mu sɛ ɔrekɔ fie.
51 And as he was now going down, the servants met him, and brought word that his child was living.
Ɔnam kwan so no, nʼasomfo bi behyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no se ne ba no ho atɔ no.
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.
Ɔbarima no bisaa nʼasomfo no se, “Bere bɛn na ne ho tɔɔ no?” Asomfo no buaa no se, “Nnɛra awia bɛyɛ dɔnkoro bere mu na atiridiinini a na abɔ no no gyaee.”
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.
Ɔbarima no tee asɛm no pɛ na ɔkaa se ɛyɛ saa bere koro no ara mu na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ fie na wo ba no ho atɔ no” no. Eyi maa ɔbarima no ne ne fifo nyinaa gyee Yesu dii.
54 This again, a second sign, Jesus wrought, when he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Eyi ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛto so abien a Yesu fii Yudea baa Galilea no ɔyɛe.
