< John 4 >

1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
Jesuh loh Johan lakah hnukbang muep a khueh tih a nuem te Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh tila Jesuh loh a ming.
2 ( Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, )
Tedae Jesuh amah long ngawn moenih, a hnukbang rhoek long ni a nuem.
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Judea te pak a hlah tih Galilee la koep cet.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
Te vaengah Samaria te a hil phai ham a kuek.
5 Then he cometh to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Te dongah Sychar la a khue Samaria kho puei kah Jakob loh a capa Joseph a paek khohmuen taeng te a pha.
6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
Teah te Jakob tuisih om. Te vaengah Jesuh tah yincaehnah lamloh thakthae tih tuisih taengah ngol.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.
Khonoek parhuk tluk a lo vaengah Samaria nu tah tui than la ha pawk. Anih te Jesuh loh, “Ok ham kai m'pae lah,” a ti nah.
8 ( For his disciples had gone away to the city to buy food.)
Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek tah kho khuiah caak lai hamla cet uh.
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Te dongah amah te Samaria nu loh, “Nang tah Judah hlang la aka om loh balae tih Samaria nu la aka om kai taengah ok ham te nan bih,” a ti nah. Judah rhoek neh Samaria rhoek he a doca uh moenih.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.
Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Pathen kah kutdoe neh nang taengah aka cal te unim tila na ming koinih amah taengah ok ham kai pae lah,’ tila na bih sui tih tui hing nang m'paek suidae,” a ti nah.
11 The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then hast thou that living water?
Huta loh anih te, “Saya, tuiduen khaw na khueh pawh, tuito khaw a dung la om. Melam kah tui hing nim, na khueh tih?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
A pa Jakob lakah tanglue la na om pawtnim? Tuito he amah loh kaimih m'paek tih he lamkah te amah long khaw, a ca rhoek neh a saelhung long khaw a ok,” a ti nah.
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “He kah tui aka o boeih tah koep hal ni.
14 But whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
Tedae kai loh ka paek ham tui te aka o tah kumhal ah hal tlaih mahpawh. Te phoeiah anih ka paek ham tui te tah dungyan hingnah ham anih ah aka phuet tuisih tui la om ni,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come here to draw.
Amah te huta loh, “Saya, te tui te kai m'pae lah. Te daengah ni tui ka hal pawt vetih tuithan la ka pawk pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
16 Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
Amah te, “Cet, na va te khue lamtah hela ha lo,” a ti nah.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
Huta loh a doo tih, “Va ka khueh moenih,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh anih te, “Va ka khueh pawh balh na ti.
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that thou hast spoken truth.
Va panga na khueh coeng dae tahae kah na khueh te na va la a om moenih, oltak te thui saw,” a ti nah.
19 The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Huta loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, nang tah tonghma ni tila kan hmat coeng.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
A pa rhoek loh hekah tlang ah bawk uh. Tedae nangmih long tah Jerusalem kah aka om hmuen ah te a bawk ham a kuek na ti uh,” a ti nah.
21 Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Jesuh loh anih te, “Huta aw, kai he n'tangnah lah. Tekah a tue ha pawk vaengah hekah tlang pawt ah khaw, Jerusalem pawt ah khaw pa te na bawk uh bitni.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is from the Jews.
Nangmih loh na bawk uh te na ming uh pawh. Kaimih tah ka bawk uh te ka minguh. Khangnah khaw Judah rhoek lamkah ni a om.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Tedae a tue ha pai tih om coeng. Bawkkung taktak rhoek long tah pa te Mueihla neh oltak dongah a bawk uh ni. Amah aka bawk rhoek van te ni pa loh a toem.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Pathen tah Mueihla ni. Te dongah amah aka bawk loh mueihla neh oltak ah bawk ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
25 The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh, who is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Amah te huta loh, “Khrih la a khue Messiah te ha pawk tila ka ming. Te te ha pawk vaengah soeprhaep boeih te kaimih taengah ha puen ni,” a ti nah.
26 Jesus saith to her, I that speak to thee am he.
Jesuh loh anih te, “Te tah nang taengah aka cal kamah ni,” a ti nah.
27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
Te vaengah te a hnukbang rhoek te ha pawk uh tih huta taengah a cal te a ngaihmang uh. Tedae, “Balae na toem tih balae tih anih te na voek?” ti na uh pawh.
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went into the city, and saith to the men,
Te dongah huta loh a amrhaeng te a toeng tih kho khuila cet.
29 Come, see a man, who hath told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
Te phoeiah a hlang rhoek te, “Halo uh lah, ka saii boeih aka thui hlang te so uh lah. Anih tah Khrih la om pawtnim?” a ti nah.
30 Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
Te dongah khopuei lamloh cet uh tih amah te a paan uh.
31 In the mean while his disciples urged him, saying, Master, eat.
Te rhuet ah amah te hnukbang rhoek loh a dawt uh tih, “Rhabbi, ca laeh saw,” a ti nauh.
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not of.
Tedae amih te, “Kai loh caak ham caak ka khueh te na ming uh moenih,” a ti nah.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him any thing to eat?
Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amamih te, “Khat khat loh a caak koi khuen pah pawtnim,” a ti uh.
34 Jesus saith to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai aka tueih kah kongaih saii ham neh amah kah bibi coeng ham te kai kah cakok la om.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Nangmih loh, 'Cangah pha ham hlali om pueng tila na ti uh moenih a? Nangmih taengah ka thui, na mik te dai uh lamtah dan uh, hmuenlung te cangaeng neh cangah ham om coeng ke.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit to life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Aka at loh thapang a dang tih dungyan hingnah dongah cangthaih a coi coeng. Te daengah ni aka tuh neh aka at loh thikat la a omngaih eh. (aiōnios g166)
37 And in this case is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Hekah ol tah oltak pai ni. Aka tuh khaw a tloe, aka at khaw a tloe la om pai.
38 I sent you to reap that on which ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.
Kai loh cangat la nangmih kan tueih te na thakthae moenih, a tloe rhoek tah thakthaeuh. Te dongah amih kah thakthaenah khuiah na kun uh coeng,” a ti nah.
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, who testified, He told me all that ever I did.
Huta loh, “Ka saii boeih te kamah taengah a thui coeng, “tila ol a phong. Te dongah kho khui lamkah Samaria rhoek loh Jesuh te muep a tangnah uh.
40 So when the Samaritans had come to him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
Te dongah Samaria rhoek loh amah taengla a pawk uh vaengah amah te amih taengah rhaeh sak ham a bih uh dongah hnin nit pahoi rhaeh.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
Te vaengah a ol aka tangnah khaw taoe yet.
42 And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
Te phoeiah huta te, “Na olcal dongah ka tangnah uh pawt dae kaimih loh ka yaak uh daengah ni he tah Diklai kah khangkung la om tangtang tila ka ming uh,” a ti nauh.
43 Now after two days he departed from there, and went into Galilee.
Hnin nit phoeiah te lamloh Galilee la cet.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Tonghma loh amah tolrhum ah hinyahnah a dang pawt te khaw Jesuh amah loh a phong coeng.
45 Then when he had come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.
Khotue vaengkah Jerusalem ah a saii boeih te a hmuh uh. Amih khaw khotue te a paan uh. Te dongah Galilee la ha pawk vaengah tah Galilee rhoek loh amah a doe uh.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Te dongah Galilee kah Kana la koep pawk. Te ah ni tui khaw misurtui la a saii. Te vaengah Kapernaum ah capa aka tlo rhalboei pakhat te ana om.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
Judea lamloh Galilee la Jesuh a pawk te anih loh a yaak vaengah a taeng la cet tih, “Duek hamla aka om a capa te hoeih sak ham ha suntla dae,” tila a bih.
48 Then said Jesus to him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te, “Miknoek neh khobae rhambae na hmuh uh pawt atah na tangnah uh tlaih pawh,” a ti nah.
49 The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down before my child dieth.
Rhalboei loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, ka capa te a duek hlan ah ha suntla dae,” a ti nah.
50 Jesus saith to him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he departed.
Jesuh loh anih te, “Cet laeh, na capa te hing coeng,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh anih taengah a thui olka te a tangnah dongah tekah hlang khaw cet.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
A suntlak neh anih te a sal rhoek loh oepsoeh la a doe uh tih a capa a hing pah te a thui pauh.
52 Then he enquired of them the hour when he began to get better. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
Te dongah a then la a om nah a tue te amih taengah a cae. Te vaengah, “Hlaem khonoek parhih vaengah a satloh loh a hlah,” a ti nauh.
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and he himself believed, and his whole house.
Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te, “Na capa te hing coeng,” a ti nah vaeng kah a tue te te vaeng ah ni tila ana pa loh a ming dongah amah neh a im pum loh a tangnah uh.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus performed, when he had come from Judaea into Galilee.
He he Judea lamkah loh Galilee la ha pawk vaengah Jesuh loh koep a saii a miknoek pabae ni.
