John 4
1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Awo Jesu nakaziba kuti ba Falisi bakamvwa kuti wakalikuba abasikwiya biingi mbakali kubbabaatizya kwinda Joni
2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
(nekuba kuti welwakwe mwini tensi wakali kubbabbatizya pe, pesi basikwiya bakwe mbabo bakali kubbabbatizya),
3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.
wakazwa mu Judiya wabweda lubo ku Galilaya.
4 But it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
Pesi chakalelede kuti ayinde mu Samaliya.
5 So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
Elyo wakasika mumunzi wamu Samaliya utegwa Sychal afwifwi achipanzi chanyika eyo Jakobo njakali wapa mwanakwe Josefa.
6 The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Chikala cha Jakobo chakaliwo. Jesu wakali wakatala kuzwa mulwendo lwakwe mpawo wakakkala kumbali achikala. Lyakali sikati.
7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
Umwi mukayintu mu Samaliya wakaza kuzoteka manzi, elyo Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Ndipe manzi nwe”.
8 For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
Nkambo basikwiya bakwe bakali banjila mumunzi kuyowula kulya.
9 Then the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, are asking me, being a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
Mpawo mukayintu mu Samaliya wakamwambila kuti, “Chikonzeka buti, kuti webo nomu Juda undikumbile chakunywa imebo ndemukayintu mu Samaliya”. nkambo ma Juda tabakwe bulidilano pe ama Samaliya.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
Jesu wakasandula wati, “anoli walizi chipo cha Leza, akuti ngwani ukukumbila manzi, wayinokumbila nduwe, nkekupa manzi mawumi”.
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket and the well is deep. Where then do you have the living water?
Mukayintu, wakati kulinguwe, “Yomwalumi, tokwe chakutesya pe mpawo chikala nchilamfu. Ani mpo ulaajanayi ayo manzi abuumi?
12 You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his cattle?”
Tooli mupati, mbubo na, kwinda taata Jakobo, wakatupa chikala akunwa kuli nchicho lwakwe mwini, abana bakwe ambono zyabo?
13 Jesus replied and said to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again,
Jesu wakasandula wati kulinguwe, “woonse unywa manzi amuchikala echi uyoba anyota lubo. Kufumbwa unywa manzi nginjomupa takoyoba a nyota limbi.
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I may not become thirsty and not have to come here to draw water.”
Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, ndipe manzi ayo kuchitilakuti nsikabi anyota akuti nsizoboli lubo kuzoteka manzi awa.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back here.”
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “koya, ukite mulumako, mpawo ubolano”
17 The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus replied, “You are right in saying, 'I have no husband,'
Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “nsikwe mulumi pe”. Jesu wakati, “waamba kasimpe kuti nsijisi mulumi pe”.
18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
Nkambo wakala baalumi musanu, ooyo ngolawe lino temulumako pe. Nzwawamba zilisinizizye.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “mwami ndabona kuti ulimusinsimi.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have to worship.”
Mataata esu bakali kukomba muchilundu echi pesi muti Jelusalema mbobusena bantu nkubelede kukombela.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “yomukayintu ndisyome, chindi chilasika awo nemutakakombe Taata kutali muchilundu echi nabi mu Jelusalemu.
22 You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
Mukomba nchomutazi. Swebo tukomba nchetuzi, nkambo lufutuko luzwa kuba Juda.
23 However, the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.
Nekubaboobo chindi chilasika, nchenchichechi, awo bakomba mukasimpe mpobayomukomba Taata mumuya amubwini, nkambo Taata mbembabo bantu mbayandula kuti babe basikumukomba.
24 God is Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Leza ngumuya, aboobo bantu bamukomba belede kumukomba mumuya amubwini”.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming (the one called Christ). When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
Mukayintu wakamwambila kuti, “ndilizi kuti Mesiya uyobuza( ooyo utegwa Kilisito)”. Nazosika uzotupandulwida zyonse.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one speaking to you.”
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “ndendime nguwe oyu uwambula ayebo”.
27 At that moment his disciples returned. Now they were wondering why he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are you speaking with her?”
Aleecho chindi basikwiya bakwe bakaboola. Elyo bakagamba kuti nkamboyi nambula amukayintu, pesi taakwe wakamba kuti, “uyandayi?” na kuti “Nkamboyi nambula awe?”
28 So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,
Awo mukayintu ooyu wakasiya noongo yakwe yamanzi, wabweda kumunzi, wakwambila bantu,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have ever done. This could not be the Christ, could it?”
“kamuza, muzobone mwalumi wandambila zintu zyonse nzendakachita. Oyu tekujana waba Kilisito na, nkujana waba nguwe?”
30 They left the town and came to him.
Bakazwa mumunzi baza kulinguwe.
31 In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Achindi nchichecho, basikwiya bakwe bakali kumukombelezya kuti “Rabbi, lya”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
Pesi wakati kulinguwe, “Ime ndakulya nkomutazi atala ankuko.”
33 So the disciples said to each other, “No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?”
Awo basikwiya bakakazyania akati kabo, “Takwe muntu wamwetela kulya pe, mpali na?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “kulya kwangu nkuchita luyando lwayoyo wakandituma akumaninsizya mulimu wakwe.
35 Do you not say, 'There are four more months and then the harvest comes'? I am saying to you, look up and see the fields, for they are already ripe for harvest!
Sa tamwambi kuti, 'kuchili myezi yoone nekutakabe goloka'? Ndokumwambila kuti, amunyampule meso anu mulange myunda, nkambo yabizwa kale yelela kutebulwa!
36 He who is harvesting receives wages and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that he who sows and he who harvests may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Oyo utebula utambula chakufola akubungika michelo yabumi butamani, kuchitila kuti oyo ubyala ayooyo utebula bakakondwe antomwe. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying, 'One sows, and another harvests,' is true.
Mulichechi kalasinizya kambyo kati, “umwi ulabyala utebula ngumbi”.
38 I sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have entered into their labor.”
Ndakamutuma kuyotebula nchemwakata lima. Bamwi bakalima, inywe mwakanjila mumilimu yabo.
39 Many of the Samaritans in that city believed in him because of the report of the woman who was testifying, “He told me everything that I have done.”
Bantu biingi bamu Samaliya bamumunzi oyu bakamusyoma nkambo ka mbakalungulula mukayintu wakali kupa bukamboni, “wandambila zyonse nzendakachita”.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
Bantu bamu Samaliya nibakasika kulinguwe, bakamu kumbila kuti akkale aboo, wakakkala mumunzi oyu kwamazuba aabili.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Kwakaba bambi biingibakamusyoma nkambo kajwi lyakwe.
42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is indeed the savior of the world.”
Bakati kumukayintu ooyu, “Tatuchisyomi nkambo kanzwawamba pe, pesi nkambo swebo tobeni twalimvwida, mpawo twaziba kuti nsonzyo oyu mufutuli wanyika”
43 After those two days, he departed from there for Galilee.
Nakiinda mazuba aya obile oko waya ku Galilaya.
44 For Jesus himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Nkambo Jesu lwakwe mwini wakamba kuti musinsimi takwe bulemu muchisi mwazwa.
45 When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the festival, for they had also gone to the festival.
Nakasika mu Galilaya, bantu bamu Galilaya bakamutambula. Bakali bazibona zyonse nzyakali wachita mu Jelusalemu chindi chapobwe, nkambo abalabo bakaliko kupobwe
46 Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. There was a certain royal official whose son in Capernaum was ill.
Alimwi wakaboola lubo ku Kenani mu Galilaya, oko nkwaka sandula manzi kuba wayini. Elyo kwakali umwi sichuno ulemekwa wakala mwana wakali kuchiswa mu Kapenawume.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
Nakamvwa kuti Jesu wasika mu Galilaya kuzwa mu Judiya, wakaya kuli Jesu akumukumbila kuti aakaponie mwana wakwe, wakali wamba kufwa.
48 Jesus then said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
Jesu mpawo wakati kuli kulinguwe, “Ado mubone zitondezyo azigambyo, tamukosyoma”.
49 The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Ooyu sichuno wakamwambila kuti, “Mwami, boola natana fwa mwanangu”.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went away.
Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “kooy. Mwanako ulapona”. Ooyu mwalumi wakasyoma majwi Jesu ngakamba kulinguwe, mpawo wakenda.
51 While he was going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
Nakachili kuyobwenda wakaswanana aabalanda bakwe, bakamwambila kuti, mwanakwe muponi.
52 So he asked them the hour when he began to improve. They replied to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”
Elyo wakababuzya chindi mwanakwe nakatalika kumvwa kabotu. Bakamwambila kuti, “jilo sikati nakapona”
53 Then the father realized that it was at that hour that Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” So he himself and his whole household believed.
Mpawo wisi wakayibalukwa kuti nchechindi awo Jesu, “Mwana wako wapona.” Elyo we lwakwe mwini abanganda yakwe bakasyoma.
54 This was the second sign that Jesus did when he came out of Judea to Galilee.
Echi chakaba chitondezyo chabili echo Jesu nchakachita nakazwa mu Judiya kaya mu Galilay.
