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].
१फिर जब प्रभु को मालूम हुआ कि फरीसियों ने सुना है कि यीशु यूहन्ना से अधिक चेले बनाता और उन्हें बपतिस्मा देता है।
२(यद्यपि यीशु स्वयं नहीं वरन् उसके चेले बपतिस्मा देते 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.
३तब वह यहूदिया को छोड़कर फिर गलील को चला गया,
4 [He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
४और उसको सामरिया से होकर जाना अवश्य 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].
५इसलिए वह सूखार नामक सामरिया के एक नगर तक आया, जो उस भूमि के पास है जिसे याकूब ने अपने पुत्र यूसुफ को 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, )
६और याकूब का कुआँ भी वहीं था। यीशु मार्ग का थका हुआ उस कुएँ पर ऐसे ही बैठ गया। और यह बात दोपहर के समय हुई।
७इतने में एक सामरी स्त्री जल भरने को आई। यीशु ने उससे कहा, “मुझे पानी पिला।”
८क्योंकि उसके चेले तो नगर में भोजन मोल लेने को गए 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]”
९उस सामरी स्त्री ने उससे कहा, “तू यहूदी होकर मुझ सामरी स्त्री से पानी क्यों माँगता है?” क्योंकि यहूदी सामरियों के साथ किसी प्रकार का व्यवहार नहीं रखते।
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.”
१०यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, “यदि तू परमेश्वर के वरदान को जानती, और यह भी जानती कि वह कौन है जो तुझ से कहता है, ‘मुझे पानी पिला,’ तो तू उससे माँगती, और वह तुझेजीवन का जलदेता।”
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?
११स्त्री ने उससे कहा, “हे स्वामी, तेरे पास जल भरने को तो कुछ है भी नहीं, और कुआँ गहरा है; तो फिर वह जीवन का जल तेरे पास कहाँ से 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]?”
१२क्या तू हमारे पिता याकूब से बड़ा है, जिसने हमें यह कुआँ दिया; और आप ही अपनी सन्तान, और अपने पशुओं समेत उसमें से पीया?”
13 Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
१३यीशु ने उसको उत्तर दिया, “जो कोई यह जल पीएगा वह फिर प्यासा होगा,
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!”
१५स्त्री ने उससे कहा, “हे प्रभु, वह जल मुझे दे ताकि मैं प्यासी न होऊँ और न जल भरने को 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!”
१६यीशु ने उससे कहा, “जा, अपने पति को यहाँ बुला ला।”
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.
१७स्त्री ने उत्तर दिया, “मैं बिना पति की हूँ।” यीशु ने उससे कहा, “तू ठीक कहती है, ‘मैं बिना पति की हूँ।’
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.”
१८क्योंकि तू पाँच पति कर चुकी है, और जिसके पास तू अब है वह भी तेरा पति नहीं; यह तूने सच कहा है।”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
१९स्त्री ने उससे कहा, “हे प्रभु, मुझे लगता है कि तू भविष्यद्वक्ता है।
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]?”
२०हमारे पूर्वजों ने इसी पहाड़ पर भजन किया, और तुम कहते हो कि वह जगह जहाँ भजन करना चाहिए यरूशलेम में है।”
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].
२१यीशु ने उससे कहा, “हे नारी, मेरी बात का विश्वास कर कि वह समय आता है कि तुम न तो इस पहाड़ पर पिता का भजन करोगे, न यरूशलेम में।
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].
२२तुम जिसे नहीं जानते, उसका भजन करते हो; और हम जिसे जानते हैं, उसका भजन करते हैं; क्योंकि उद्धार यहूदियों में से है।
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.
२३परन्तु वह समय आता है, वरन् अब भी है, जिसमें सच्चे भक्त पिता परमेश्वर की आराधना आत्मा और सच्चाई से करेंगे, क्योंकि पिता अपने लिये ऐसे ही आराधकों को ढूँढ़ता है।
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.”
२४परमेश्वर आत्मा है, और अवश्य है कि उसकी आराधना करनेवाले आत्मा और सच्चाई से आराधना करें।”
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]’.)
२५स्त्री ने उससे कहा, “मैं जानती हूँ कि मसीह जो ख्रिस्त कहलाता है, आनेवाला है; जब वह आएगा, तो हमें सब बातें बता देगा।”
26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
२६यीशु ने उससे कहा, “मैं जो तुझ से बोल रहा हूँ, वही हूँ।”
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?”
२७इतने में उसके चेले आ गए, और अचम्भा करने लगे कि वह स्त्री से बातें कर रहा है; फिर भी किसी ने न पूछा, “तू क्या चाहता है?” या “किस लिये उससे बातें करता है?”
28 The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
२८तब स्त्री अपना घड़ा छोड़कर नगर में चली गई, और लोगों से कहने लगी,
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?”
२९“आओ, एक मनुष्य को देखो, जिसने सब कुछ जो मैंने किया मुझे बता दिया। कहीं यही तो मसीह नहीं है?”
30 So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
३०तब वे नगर से निकलकर उसके पास आने लगे।
31 Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
३१इतने में उसके चेले यीशु से यह विनती करने लगे, “हे रब्बी, कुछ खा ले।”
32 But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
३२परन्तु उसने उनसे कहा, “मेरे पास खाने के लिये ऐसा भोजन है जिसे तुम नहीं जानते।”
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]”
३३तब चेलों ने आपस में कहा, “क्या कोई उसके लिये कुछ खाने को लाया है?”
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].
३४यीशु ने उनसे कहा, “मेरा भोजन यह है, कि अपने भेजनेवाले की इच्छा के अनुसार चलूँ और उसका काम पूरा करूँ।
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.
३५क्या तुम नहीं कहते, ‘कटनी होने में अब भी चार महीने पड़े हैं?’ देखो, मैं तुम से कहता हूँ, अपनी आँखें उठाकर खेतों पर दृष्टि डालो, कि वे कटनी के लिये पक चुके हैं।
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 g166)
३६और काटनेवाला मजदूरी पाता, और अनन्त जीवन के लिये फल बटोरता है, ताकि बोनेवाला और काटनेवाला दोनों मिलकर आनन्द करें। (aiōnios g166)
37 As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
३७क्योंकि इस पर यह कहावत ठीक बैठती है: ‘बोनेवाला और है और काटनेवाला 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.”
३८मैंने तुम्हें वह खेत काटने के लिये भेजा जिसमें तुम ने परिश्रम नहीं किया औरों ने परिश्रम किया और तुम उनके परिश्रम के फल में भागी हुए।”
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]!”
३९और उस नगर के बहुत से सामरियों ने उस स्त्री के कहने से यीशु पर विश्वास किया; जिसने यह गवाही दी थी, कि उसने सब कुछ जो मैंने किया है, मुझे 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.
४०तब जब ये सामरी उसके पास आए, तो उससे विनती करने लगे कि हमारे यहाँ रह, और वह वहाँ दो दिन तक रहा।
41 Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
४१और उसके वचन के कारण और भी बहुतों ने विश्वास किया।
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].”
४२और उस स्त्री से कहा, “अब हम तेरे कहने ही से विश्वास नहीं करते; क्योंकि हमने आप ही सुन लिया, और जानते हैं कि यही सचमुच में जगत का उद्धारकर्ता है।”
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].
४३फिर उन दो दिनों के बाद वह वहाँ से निकलकर गलील को गया।
४४क्योंकि यीशु ने आप ही साक्षी दी कि भविष्यद्वक्ता अपने देश में आदर नहीं पाता।
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.
४५जब वह गलील में आया, तो गलीली आनन्द के साथ उससे मिले; क्योंकि जितने काम उसने यरूशलेम में पर्व के समय किए थे, उन्होंने उन सब को देखा था, क्योंकि वे भी पर्व में गए 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.
४६तब वह फिर गलील के काना में आया, जहाँ उसने पानी को दाखरस बनाया था। वहाँ राजा का एक कर्मचारी था जिसका पुत्र कफरनहूम में 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!”
४७वह यह सुनकर कि यीशु यहूदिया से गलील में आ गया है, उसके पास गया और उससे विनती करने लगा कि चलकर मेरे पुत्र को चंगा कर दे: क्योंकि वह मरने पर था।
48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
४८यीशु ने उससे कहा, “जब तक तुम चिन्ह और अद्भुत काम न देखोगे तब तक कदापि विश्वास न 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!”
४९राजा के कर्मचारी ने उससे कहा, “हे प्रभु, मेरे बालक की मृत्यु होने से पहले चल।”
50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
५०यीशु ने उससे कहा, “जा, तेरा पुत्र जीवित है।” उस मनुष्य ने यीशु की कही हुई बात पर विश्वास किया और चला 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!”
५१वह मार्ग में जा ही रहा था, कि उसके दास उससे आ मिले और कहने लगे, “तेरा लड़का जीवित है।”
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.”
५२उसने उनसे पूछा, “किस घड़ी वह अच्छा होने लगा?” उन्होंने उससे कहा, “कल सातवें घण्टे में उसका ज्वर 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].
५३तब पिता जान गया कि यह उसी घड़ी हुआ जिस घड़ी यीशु ने उससे कहा, “तेरा पुत्र जीवित है,” और उसने और उसके सारे घराने ने विश्वास किया।
54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
५४यह दूसरा चिन्ह था जो यीशु ने यहूदिया से गलील में आकर दिखाया।
