John 4
1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Ut ergo cognovit Iesus quia audierunt Pharisaei quod Iesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Ioannes,
2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
(quamquam Iesus non baptizaret, sed discipuli eius)
3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.
reliquit Iudaeam, et abiit iterum in Galilaeam.
4 But it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
oportebat autem eum transire per mediam Samariam.
5 So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
Venit ergo in civitatem Samariae, quae dicitur Sichar: iuxta praedium, quod dedit Iacob Ioseph filio suo.
6 The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Erat autem ibi fons Iacob. Iesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere, sedebat sic supra fontem. Hora autem erat quasi sexta.
7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Iesus: Da mihi bibere.
8 For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
(Discipuli enim eius abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.)
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.
Dicit ergo ei mulier illa Samaritana: Quomodo tu Iudaeus cum sis, bibere a me poscis, quae sum mulier Samaritana? non enim coutuntur Iudaei Samaritanis.
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.”
Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Si scires donum Dei, et quis est, qui dicit tibi: Da mihi bibere: tu forsitan petisses ab eo, et dedisset tibi aquam vivam.
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?
Dicit ei mulier: Domine, neque in quo haurias habes, et puteus altus est: unde ergo habes aquam vivam?
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?”
Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Iacob, qui dedit nobis puteum, et ipse ex eo bibit, et filii eius, et pecora eius?
13 Jesus replied and said to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again,
Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Omnis, qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum:
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.”
Dicit ad eum mulier: Domine, da mihi hanc aquam, ut non sitiam: neque veniam huc haurire.
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back here.”
Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc.
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,'
Respondit mulier, et dixit: Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Iesus: Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum:
18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
quinque enim viros habuisti, et hunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir: hoc vere dixisti.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
Dicit ei mulier: Domine, video quia Propheta es tu.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have to worship.”
Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Ierosolymis est locus, ubi adorare oportet.
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.
Dicit ei Iesus: Mulier crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Ierosolymis adorabitis Patrem.
22 You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
Vos adoratis quod nescitis: nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Iudaeis est.
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.
Sed venit hora, et nunc est, quando veri adoratores adorabunt Patrem in spiritu et veritate. Nam et Pater tales quaerit, qui adorent eum.
24 God is Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Spiritus est Deus: et eos qui adorant eum, in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare.
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.”
Dicit ei mulier: Scio quia Messias venit, (qui dicitur Christus.) cum ergo venerit ille, nobis annunciabit omnia.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one speaking to you.”
Dicit ei Iesus: Ego sum, qui loquor tecum.
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?”
Et continuo venerunt discipuli eius: et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur. Nemo tamen dixit: Quid quaeris, aut quid loqueris cum ea?
28 So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,
Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus:
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have ever done. This could not be the Christ, could it?”
Venite, et videte hominem, qui dixit mihi omnia quaecumque feci: numquid ipse est Christus?
30 They left the town and came to him.
Exierunt ergo de civitate, et veniebant ad eum.
31 In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Interea rogabant eum discipuli, dicentes: Rabbi, manduca.
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
Ille autem dicit eis: Ego cibum habeo manducare, quem vos nescitis.
33 So the disciples said to each other, “No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?”
Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem: Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare?
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.
Dicit eis Iesus: Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem eius, qui misit me, ut perficiam opus eius.
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!
Nonne vos dicitis, quod adhuc quattuor menses sunt, et messis venit? Ecce dico vobis: Levate oculos vestros, et videte regiones, quia albae sunt iam ad messem.
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)
Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam aeternam: ut, et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying, 'One sows, and another harvests,' is true.
In hoc enim est verbum verum: quia alius est qui seminat, et alius est qui metit.
38 I sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have entered into their labor.”
Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis: alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis.
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.”
Ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum, propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis: Quia dixit mihi omnia quaecumque feci.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
Cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani, rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret. Et mansit ibi duos dies.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem eius.
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.”
Et mulieri dicebant: Quia iam non propter tuam loquelam credimus: ipsi enim audivimus, et scimus quia hic est vere Salvator mundi.
43 After those two days, he departed from there for Galilee.
Post duos autem dies exiit inde: et abiit in Galilaeam.
44 For Jesus himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Ipse enim Iesus testimonium perhibuit quia Propheta in sua patria honorem non habet.
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.
Cum ergo venisset in Galilaeam, exceperunt eum Galilaei, cum omnia vidissent quae fecerat Ierosolymis in die festo: et ipsi enim venerant ad diem festum.
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.
Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilaeae, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cuius filius infirmabatur Capharnaum.
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.
Hic cum audisset quia Iesus adveniret a Iudaea in Galilaeam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium eius: incipiebat enim mori.
48 Jesus then said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
Dixit ergo Iesus ad eum: Nisi signa, et prodigia videritis, non creditis.
49 The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Dicit ad eum regulus: Domine, descende prius quam moriatur filius meus.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went away.
Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni, quem dixit ei Iesus, et ibat.
51 While he was going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
Iam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nunciaverunt dicentes, quia filius eius viveret.
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.”
Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis, in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei: Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris.
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.
Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat, in qua dixit ei Iesus: Filius tuus vivit: et credidit ipse, et domus eius tota.
54 This was the second sign that Jesus did when he came out of Judea to Galilee.
Hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Iesus, cum venisset a Iudaea in Galilaeam.
