< John 4 >
1 [At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
फेर जिब यीशु नै बेरा पाट्या के फरीसियाँ नै सुण्या सै के यीशु यूहन्ना तै घणे चेल्लें बणावै सै अर उननै बपतिस्मा देवै सै।
(ऊतो यीशु खुद न्ही बल्कि उसके चेल्लें बपतिस्मा देवै थे)
3 When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
फेर वो यहूदिया परदेस नै छोड़कै दुबारै गलील परदेस म्ह चल्या गया,
4 [He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
इस बार उसनै सामरिया परदेस होकै जाणा पड्या था।
5 So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
इस करकै वो सामरिया परदेस के सूखार नामक एक नगर म्ह आया, यो नगर उस जगहां कै धोरै था जो याकूब नै अपणे बेट्टे यूसुफ ताहीं दिया था।
6 The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
अर याकूब का कुआँ भी ओड़ैए था। यीशु सफर का थक्या होड़ उस कुएँ पै न्यूए बैठग्या। दोपहर का बखत होरया था।
इतनै म्ह एक सामरी बिरबान्नी पाणी भरण आई। यीशु नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “मन्नै पाणी पिया।”
क्यूँके उसके चेल्लें नगर म्ह खाणा मोल लेण जारे थे।
9 so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
उस सामरी बिरबान्नी नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तू यहूदी होकै मेरे तै सामरी बिरबान्नी तै पाणी क्यांतै माँग्गै सै?” (क्यूँके यहूदी सामरियाँ तै नफरत करै थे।)
10 Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
यीशु नै जवाब दिया, “जै तू जाणदी के परमेसवर तन्नै के देणा चाहवै सै, अर वो कौण सै, जो तेरे तै कहवै सै, ‘मन्नै पाणी पिया,’ फेर तू उसतै माँगदी, अर वो तन्नै जीवन का पाणी देन्दा।”
11 She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
बिरबान्नी नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “हे प्रभु, तेरे धोरै पाणी भरण नै तो किमे सै भी कोनी, अर कुआँ डून्घा सै, तो फेर वो जीवन का पाणी तेरे धोरै कड़ै तै आया?
12 Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
के तू म्हारै पूर्वज याकूब तै बड्ड़ा सै, जिसनै म्हारै ताहीं यो कुआँ दिया, अर खुद भी अपणे ऊलादां, अर अपणे डान्गरां सुधा इस म्ह तै पिया?”
13 Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
यीशु नै उस ताहीं जवाब दिया, “जो कोए यो पाणी पीवैगा वो फेर तिसाया होगा,
14 But those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. On the contrary, the water that I give them will become in their inner beings like a spring of water that will enable them to have eternal life.” (aiōn , aiōnios )
पर जो कोए उस पाणी म्ह तै पीवैगा जो मै उस ताहीं दियुँगा वो फेर अनन्त काल ताहीं तिसाया कोनी होवैगा, बल्के जो पाणी मै उस ताहीं दियुँगा वो उस म्ह तै एक चोवा बण ज्यागा जो अनन्त जीवन खात्तर उमड़दा रहवैगा।” (aiōn , aiōnios )
15 The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
बिरबान्नी नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “हे प्रभु, वो पाणी मन्नै दे ताके मै तिसाई ना होऊँ अर ना पाणी भरण नै इतनी दूर आऊँ।”
16 [Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
यीशु नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “जा अपणे धणी नै याड़ै बुला ल्या।”
17 She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
बिरबान्नी नै जवाब दिया, “मै बिना धणी की सूं।” यीशु नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तू ठीक कहवै सै, ‘मै बिना धणी की सूं।’
18 It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
क्यूँके तन्नै पाँच धणी कर लिए सै, अर जिस माणस कै गेल्या तू इब सै वो भी तेरा धणी कोनी। या तन्नै साच्ची-ए कही सै।”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
बिरबान्नी नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “हे प्रभु, मन्नै लाग्गै सै तू नबी सै।
20 But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
म्हारै सामरी पूर्वजां नै इस्से पहाड़ पै भगति करी, अर यहूदी लोग कहवै सै, के वा जगहां जड़ै भगति करणी चाहिए यरुशलेम नगर म्ह सै।”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
यीशु नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “हे नारी,” मेरी बात का भरोस्सा कर, के वो बखत आवै सै, के थम ना तो इस पहाड़ पै पिता की भगति करोगे, ना यरुशलेम म्ह।
22 You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
थम जिसनै कोनी जाणदे, उसकी भगति करो सो, अर हम यहूदी लोग जिसनै जाणा सा उसकी भगति करा सां, क्यूँके उद्धार यहूदियाँ म्ह तै सै।
23 However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
पर वो बखत आवै सै, बल्कि इब भी सै, जिसम्ह सच्चे भगत पिता की भगति आत्मा अर सच्चाई तै करैगें, क्यूँके पिता अपणे खात्तर इसेए भगतां नै टोहवै सै।
24 God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
परमेसवर आत्मा सै अर जरूरी सै के उसकी भगति करण आळे आत्मा अर सच्चाई तै उसकी भगति करै।
25 The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
बिरबान्नी नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “मै जांणु सूं के मसीह” जो ख्रिस्त कुहावै सै, “आण आळा सै, जिब वो आवैगा, फेर म्हारै ताहीं सारी बात बता देवैगा।”
26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
यीशु नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “मै जो तेरे तै बोल्लण लागरया सूं, मै वोए सूं।”
27 Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
इतनै म्ह उसके चेल्लें आण पोहचे, अर हैरान होण लागगे के वो बिरबान्नी तै बतळावै था, फेर भी किसे नै कोनी बुझ्झया, “तू के चाहवै सै? या क्यातै उसतै बतळावै सै?”
28 The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
फेर बिरबान्नी अपणा पैंढ़ा छोड़कै नगर म्ह चली गई, अर माणसां तै कहण लाग्गी,
29 “Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
“आओ एक माणस नै देक्खो, जिसनै सारा किमे जो मन्नै करया मेरै तै बता दिया। कदे योए तो मसीह न्ही सै?”
30 So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
तब वे नगर के बासिन्दे गाम तै लिकड़कै यीशु कै धोरै आण लाग्गे।
31 Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
इस बिचाळै उसके चेल्यां नै यीशु तै या बिनती करी, “हे गुरु, किमे खा ले।”
32 But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
पर उसनै उन ताहीं कह्या, “मेरै धोरै खाण खात्तर इसा खाणा सै जिसनै थम कोनी जाणदे।”
33 So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
फेर चेल्यां नै आप्पस म्ह कह्या, “के कोए उसकै खात्तर खाणा लेकै आया सै?”
34 Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
यीशु नै उनतै कह्या, “मेरा खाणा यो सै के अपणे भेजण आळे की मर्जी कै मुताबिक चाल्लुँ अर उसके काम नै पूरा करुँ जो उसनै कह्या सै।
35 [At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
के थम कोनी कहन्दे, ‘लामणीयां के इब्बै चार महिन्ने रहरे सै?’ अपणी आँखां तै देक्खों जितने माणस आण लागरे सै, वो उस खेत की तरियां सै जो काट्टण खात्तर तैयार सै।
36 [If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios )
पैहले तै मजदूर काम करण लागरया सै अर अपणी मजदूरी पाण लागरया सै, इसका मतलब यो सै के वो माणसां नै कठ्ठा करण लागरया सै जो अनन्त जीवन पागे। (aiōnios )
37 As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
क्यूँके याड़ै या कहावत ठीक बेठ्ठै सैः बोणआळा और सै, अर काट्टण आळा और।
38 I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
मन्नै थारे ताहीं वो खेत काट्टण खात्तर भेज्या जिसम्ह थमनै मेहनत कोन्या करी दुसरयां नै मेहनत करी अर थम उनकी मेहनत कै फळ म्ह हिस्सेदार होए।”
39 Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
उस नगर के घणखरे सामरियाँ नै उस बिरबान्नी कै कहण तै यीशु पै बिश्वास करया, क्यूँके उसनै कह्या था, के “उसनै सारा किमे जो मन्नै करया सै, मेरै तै बता दिया।”
40 So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
ज्यांतै जिब सामरी उसकै धोरै आए, तो उसतै बिनती करण लागगे के म्हारै याड़ै रह। आखर म्ह वो ओड़ै दो दिन ताहीं रहया।
41 Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
उसके वचन कै कारण और भी घणखरे माणसां नै बिश्वास करया
42 They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
अर उस बिरबान्नी तै कह्या, “इब हम तेरे कहण तैए बिश्वास कोनी करदे, क्यूँके हमनै खुदे सुण लिया, अर जाणगे सा के योए साच्चए म्ह दुनिया का उद्धार करणीया सै।”
43 Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
फेर दो दिनां कै पाच्छै वो ओड़ै तै लिकड़कै गलील परदेस म्ह गया।
क्यूँके यीशु नै खुदे गवाही दी के नबी अपणे गाम म्ह आदर मान कोनी पान्दा।
45 However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
जिब वो गलील परदेस म्ह आया, तो गलील परदेस के माणस राज्जी होकै उसतै मिले, क्यूँके जितने काम उसनै यरुशलेम म्ह त्यौहार कै बखत करे थे, उननै उन सारया ताहीं देख्या था, क्यूँके वे भी त्यौहार म्ह जारे थे।
46 Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
फेर वो दुबारै गलील परदेस कै काना नगर म्ह आया, जड़ै उसनै पाणी ताहीं अंगूर का रस बणाया था। ओड़ै राजा का एक कर्मचारी था जिसका बेट्टा कफरनहूम नगर म्ह बीमार था।
47 When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
वो या सुणकै के यीशु यहूदिया परदेस तै गलील परदेस म्ह आ रहया सै, उसकै धोरै गया अर उसतै बिनती करण लागग्या के चालकै मेरै बेट्टै नै ठीक कर दे: क्यूँके वो मरण आळा था।
48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
यीशु नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “जिब ताहीं थम चमत्कार अर अचम्भे के काम कोनी देखदे जद ताहीं कदे भी बिश्वास कोनी करोगे।”
49 But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
राजा कै कर्मचारी नै उसतै कह्या, “हे प्रभु, मेरै बाळक की मौत होण तै पैहल्या चाल।”
50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
यीशु नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “जा, तेरा बेट्टा जिन्दा सै।” उस माणस नै यीशु की कही होई बात का बिश्वास करया अर चल्या गया।
51 [The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
वो रास्ते म्ह था के उसके नौक्कर उसतै आ मिले अर कहण लाग्गे, “तेरा छोरा जिन्दा सै।”
52 He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
उसनै उसतै बुझ्झया, “किस बखत वो ठीक होण लागग्या?” उननै उस ताहीं कह्या, “काल दोफहरै एक बजे उसका बुखार उतर गया।”
53 Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
फेर बाप जाण गया के यो उस्से बखत होया जिस बखत यीशु नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तेरा बेट्टा जिन्दा रहवैगा,” अर उसनै अर उसके सारे कुण्बे नै बिश्वास करया।
54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
यो दुसरा अचम्भे का काम था जो यीशु नै यहूदिया परदेस तै गलील परदेस म्ह आकै दिखाया।
