< John 4 >

1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
Mbe Yesu aliga amenyele ati Abhafarisayo bhonguwe ati Yesu aliga neigisha no kubhatija kukila Yohana,
2 ( Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, )
(Nawe Yesu omwene aliga atakubhatija nawe abheigisibhwa bhaye)
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Asokele Judea na nagenda Galilaya.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
Kutyo yaliga bhusibhuai okolabha Samaria.
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.
Nakinga ku musi gwa Samaria, gunu ogutogwa, Sikari, ayei na libhala linu Yakobo ayanile omwana waye Yusufu.
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.
Ne chinywo cha Yakobo chaliga ao. Yesu aliga ayigilwe kwo kubha aliga no ligendo na neanja kuchinyo gwaliga mwanya gwa mumwisi.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.
Omugasi omusamalia naja okutaya amanji na Yesu na mwibwila ati,”Naneko amanji ninywe.”
8 ( For his disciples had gone away to the city to buy food.)
Kwo kubha abeigisibwa bhae bhajie jebwe mu musi okugula ebhilo
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.
Oyo omugasi namubwila ati,”Ejibhakutiki awe Omuyaudi okusabwa anye omugasi Msamaria, echinu cho kunywa?” Kwo kubha Abhayaudi bhatakusasikana na Abhasamalia.
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.
Yesu namusubya ati,”Alabha umenyele echiyanwa cha Nyamuanga, na unu kakwibwila ati 'Nana amanji, 'wakamusabwilwe akakuyaye amanji go bhuanga.”
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?
Omugasi nasubya ati, “Lata bhugenyi utali na indobho yokuataila amanji ne chinyo ni chilela. Ugabhona aki amanji go bhuanga?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Mbe awe ni mkulu, okukila Lata weswe Yakobo, unu achiyanile echinyo chinu, no mwene na bhana bhaye amwi na myandu jaye nibanywa amanji ge chinyo chinu?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Yesu nasubya, “wonawana oyo kanywa amanji ganu kabhona obhulilo lindi,
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)
Nawe unu kunywa amanji agondimuyana atalibhona obhulilo lindi. Kwo kubha amanji ganu ndimuyana alibha ngafukula nolwo kajanende.” (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.
Omugasi uliya namubwila ati, “Lata bhugenyi enisabwa amanji ago koleleki nitabhona obhulilo, nanitanyaka okuja anu okutaya amanji.”
16 Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
Yesu na mubwila ati, “Genda umubhilikile omulume wao, mbe usubhe.”
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
Omugasi namubwila ati, “Nitali na mulume.” Yesu nasubya ati, “Waika kisi, 'Nitali na mulume;'
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that thou hast spoken truth.
Kwo kubha weyishe abhalume bhatanu, oumwi unu ulinage olyanu atali mulume wao ku linu waika echimali!”
19 The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Omugasi namubwila ati, “Lata bhugenyi anilola ati awe uli mulagi.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Bhasaja bheswe bhalamyaga kuchima chinu. Nawe emwe omwaika ati Yerusalemu niyo eyo abhanu bheile okulamya.”
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.
Yesu namusubya ati, “Omugasi, nyikilisha, omwanya oguja gunu bhatalilamisha Lata kuchima chinu Cha Yerusalemu.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is from the Jews.
Emwe abhanu omulamya chinu mtakumenya, nawe eswe echilamya chinu echimenya, kokubha omwilulo ogusoka mu Bhayaudi.”
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.
Nolwo kutyo, omwanya oguja, naoli gulio anu omwanya abhanu bhalilamya echimali, bhalilamya Lata mu mwoyo ne chimali, kwokubha Lata kabhayenja abhanu koleleki abahu bhaye abho abhamulamya.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Nyaamunga ni mwoyo na bhaliya abho abhamulamya bheile okumulamya mu mwoyo gwe chimali.”
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.
Omugasi namubwila ati, “Enimenya kubha Masiya kaja, (katogwa Kristo). Oyo alibhaja alichibwila jone.”
26 Jesus saith to her, I that speak to thee am he.
Yesu namubwila ati, “Anye oyo owaika nage niwe.”
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?
Omwanya ogwo ogwo abheisigibwa bhaye nibhasubha. Nabho nibhatang'alang'ala ni kulwaki aliga naloma no mugasi, nawe atalio unu alegejele okubhusya, “Oyenjaki?” amwi “Ni kulwaki owaika nage?”
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went into the city, and saith to the men,
Kutyo omugasi nasiga isua yaye nagenda mu musi na bhabwila abhanu,
29 Come, see a man, who hath told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
“Muje mulole omunu unu ambwila emisango Jani jone jinu nakolele, mbe atakwitasha akabha Kristo?”
30 Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
Nibhasoka mu music nibhaja kumwene.
31 In the mean while his disciples urged him, saying, Master, eat.
Omwanya gwa mu musi abheigisibwa bhaye nibhamumbeleja nibhaika ati, “Lata nulye ebhilyo.
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not of.
“Nawe omwene na bhabwila ati, “Anye ninacho echokulya chinu mutakumenya emwe.”
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him any thing to eat?
Abheigisibhwa nibhaikana atalio unu amuletela chinu chonachona cho kulya, “Mbe bhaletele?”
34 Jesus saith to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Ebhilyo byani Ni kukola obwenji bhaye omwene unu atumile no kumalisha omulimu gwaye.
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.
Mbe, mutakwaika, gasigayeyo mesi gatano naligesa libhe lyeile?' Enibhabwila ati mulole amasambu kutyo geile kwo kugeswa!
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)
Oyo kagesa kalamila emiyelo no kukumanya amatwasho kulwo bhuanga bwa kajanende, koleleki kubha unu kabhibha unu kagegesa abhakondelelwa amwi. (aiōnios g166)
37 And in this case is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Kwo kubha omisango gunu ni gwe chimali, Oumwi kabhibha no undi nagesa.'
38 I sent you to reap that on which ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.
Nabhatumile okugesa chinu mutanyakiliye, Abhandi bhakolele emilimu nemwe mwengila mwikondelelwa lye milimu jebwe.”
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.
Abhasamaliya bhafu mu musi guliya nibhamwikilisha kwo kubha bhabhamenyesha eja uliya omugasi oyo aliga nabhambala, “Oyo namubwila ati emisango jona ejonakolele.”
40 So when the Samaritans had come to him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
Kutyo Abhasamalia bhejile bhaja nibhamumbeleja eyanje amwi nabho kwebwe kwa siku ebhili.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
Na bhafu muno nibhamwikilisha kwo kubha emisango jaye.
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.
Nibhamubwila uliya omugasi, “Echikilisha atali kwe misango jao, kwo kubha eswe bhenyele chonguwe, na woli echimenya kubha omwene ni mukisha we chalo.”
43 Now after two days he departed from there, and went into Galilee.
Jejile jisiku jinu ebwili, nasoka nagenda Galilaya.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Kwo kubha omwene aliga aikile kubha mulagi atana chibhalo kusi yae omwene.
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.
Ejile aja okusoka Galilaya, Abhagalilaya nibhamubwila nibhamukuma. Bhaliga bhalolele emisango jona ejonakolele akolele Yerusalemu ku malya, kwo kubha abhene ona bhaliga bhejile ku malya.
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.
Ejile lindi Kana ya Galilaya eyo againduye amanji kubha divai. Aligaalio musibha unu omwana waye aliga mulwaye ewo Kaprnaumu.
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.
Ejile ongwa ati Yesu asokele Judea na genda Galilaya, nageda ku Yesu namulembeleja atebhele amwiulishe omwana waye, unu aliga ayei okufwa.
48 Then said Jesus to him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
Niwo Yesu namubwila ati, “Emwe mukalema okulola ebhibhalikisho need bhilugulo mutakutula okwilisha.
49 The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down before my child dieth.
Omutangasha naika ati,” Lata bhugenyi utebhele emwalo kuchali omwana wani okufwa.”
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.
Yesu namubwila ati,” Genda omwana wao ni muanga.” Uliya omunu nikilisha omusango ogwo aikile Yesu na genda jaye.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
Anu aliga achatebhela, abhakosi bhae nibhamulamila nibhamubwila ati omwana waye aliga muanga.
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.
Kutyo nibhamubwila ni mwanyaki amaolelamo. Nibhasubya ati, “Ligolo omwanya uti saa ya katanu na kabhili libhili ndi musokako.”
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.
Niwo esemwene wae namenya kutyo ni mwanya ogwo ogwo Yesu amubwiliye ati.” omwana wao ni muanga.” kutyo omwene na bhamumusi gwae nibhekilisha.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus performed, when he had come from Judaea into Galilee.
Chinu chaliga chibhalikisho cha kabhili echoakolele Yesu kusoka Yudea okugenda Galilaya.
