John 4
1 Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
yIshuH svayaM nAmajjayat kevalaM tasya shiShyA amajjayat kintu yohano. adhikashiShyAn sa karoti majjayati cha,
2 though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
phirUshina imAM vArttAmashR^iNvan iti prabhuravagatya
3 He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.

4 His road lay through Samaria,
tataH shomiroNapradeshasya madyena tena gantavye sati
5 and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.

7 Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
etarhi kAchit shomiroNIyA yoShit toyottolanArtham tatrAgamat
8 for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
tadA shiShyAH khAdyadravyANi kretuM nagaram agachChan|
9 "How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

10 "If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

11 "Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
tadA sA sImantinI bhAShitavati, he mahechCha prahirgambhIro bhavato nIrottolanapAtraM nAstI cha tasmAt tadamR^itaM kIlAlaM kutaH prApsyasi?
12 Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"

13 "Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
tato yIshurakathayad idaM pAnIyaM saH pivati sa punastR^iShArtto bhaviShyati,
15 "Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."

16 "Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
tato yIshUravadadyAhi tava patimAhUya sthAne. atrAgachCha|
17 "I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
sA vAmAvadat mama patirnAsti| yIshuravadat mama patirnAstIti vAkyaM bhadramavochaH|
18 "for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that."
yatastava pa ncha patayobhavan adhunA tu tvayA sArddhaM yastiShThati sa tava bharttA na vAkyamidaM satyamavAdiH|
19 "Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.

20 Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
asmAkaM pitR^ilokA etasmin shilochchaye. abhajanta, kintu bhavadbhiruchyate yirUshAlam nagare bhajanayogyaM sthAnamAste|
21 "Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
yIshuravochat he yoShit mama vAkye vishvasihi yadA yUyaM kevalashaile. asmin vA yirUshAlam nagare piturbhajanaM na kariShyadhve kAla etAdR^isha AyAti|
22 You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
yUyaM yaM bhajadhve taM na jAnItha, kintu vayaM yaM bhajAmahe taM jAnImahe, yato yihUdIyalokAnAM madhyAt paritrANaM jAyate|
23 But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.
kintu yadA satyabhaktA AtmanA satyarUpeNa cha piturbhajanaM kariShyante samaya etAdR^isha AyAti, varam idAnImapi vidyate; yata etAdR^isho bhatkAn pitA cheShTate|
24 God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
Ishvara AtmA; tatastasya ye bhaktAstaiH sa AtmanA satyarUpeNa cha bhajanIyaH|
25 "I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."
tadA sA mahilAvAdIt khrIShTanAmnA vikhyAto. abhiShiktaH puruSha AgamiShyatIti jAnAmi sa cha sarvvAH kathA asmAn j nApayiShyati|
26 "I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
tato yIshuravadat tvayA sArddhaM kathanaM karomi yo. aham ahameva sa puruShaH|
27 Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
etasmin samaye shiShyA Agatya tathA striyA sArddhaM tasya kathopakathane mahAshcharyyam amanyanta tathApi bhavAn kimichChati? yadvA kimartham etayA sArddhaM kathAM kathayati? iti kopi nApR^ichChat|
28 The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
tataH paraM sA nArI kalashaM sthApayitvA nagaramadhyaM gatvA lokebhyokathAyad
29 "Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
ahaM yadyat karmmAkaravaM tatsarvvaM mahyamakathayad etAdR^ishaM mAnavamekam Agatya pashyata ru kim abhiShikto na bhavati?
30 They left the town and set out to go to Him.
tataste nagarAd bahirAgatya tAtasya samIpam Ayan|
31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
etarhi shiShyAH sAdhayitvA taM vyAhArShuH he guro bhavAn ki nchid bhUktAM|
32 "I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
tataH sovadad yuShmAbhiryanna j nAyate tAdR^ishaM bhakShyaM mamAste|
33 So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
tadA shiShyAH parasparaM praShTum Arambhanta, kimasmai kopi kimapi bhakShyamAnIya dattavAn?
34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.

35 Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.

36 The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
yashChinatti sa vetanaM labhate anantAyuHsvarUpaM shasyaM sa gR^ihlAti cha, tenaiva vaptA ChettA cha yugapad AnandataH| (aiōnios g166)
37 For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
itthaM sati vapatyekashChinatyanya iti vachanaM siddhyati|
38 I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours."
yatra yUyaM na paryyashrAmyata tAdR^ishaM shasyaM ChettuM yuShmAn prairayam anye janAHparyyashrAmyan yUyaM teShAM shragasya phalam alabhadhvam|
39 Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done."
yasmin kAle yadyat karmmAkArShaM tatsarvvaM sa mahyam akathayat tasyA vanitAyA idaM sAkShyavAkyaM shrutvA tannagaranivAsino bahavaH shomiroNIyalokA vyashvasan|
40 When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
tathA cha tasyAntike samupasthAya sveShAM sannidhau katichid dinAni sthAtuM tasmin vinayam akurvvAna tasmAt sa dinadvayaM tatsthAne nyavaShTat
41 Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
tatastasyopadeshena bahavo. apare vishvasya
42 and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."
tAM yoShAmavadan kevalaM tava vAkyena pratIma iti na, kintu sa jagato. abhiShiktastrAteti tasya kathAM shrutvA vayaM svayamevAj nAsamahi|
43 After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
svadeshe bhaviShyadvaktuH satkAro nAstIti yadyapi yIshuH pramANaM datvAkathayat
44 though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
tathApi divasadvayAt paraM sa tasmAt sthAnAd gAlIlaM gatavAn|
45 When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
anantaraM ye gAlIlI liyalokA utsave gatA utsavasamaye yirUshalam nagare tasya sarvvAH kriyA apashyan te gAlIlam AgataM tam AgR^ihlan|
46 So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
tataH param yIshu ryasmin kAnnAnagare jalaM drAkShArasam Akarot tat sthAnaM punaragAt| tasminneva samaye kasyachid rAjasabhAstArasya putraH kapharnAhUmapurI rogagrasta AsIt|
47 Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
sa yehUdIyadeshAd yIsho rgAlIlAgamanavArttAM nishamya tasya samIpaM gatvA prArthya vyAhR^itavAn mama putrasya prAyeNa kAla AsannaH bhavAn Agatya taM svasthaM karotu|
48 "Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
tadA yIshurakathayad AshcharyyaM karmma chitraM chihnaM cha na dR^iShTA yUyaM na pratyeShyatha|
49 "Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
tataH sa sabhAsadavadat he mahechCha mama putre na mR^ite bhavAnAgachChatu|
50 "You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
yIshustamavadad gachCha tava putro. ajIvIt tadA yIshunoktavAkye sa vishvasya gatavAn|
51 and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
gamanakAle mArgamadhye dAsAstaM sAkShAtprApyAvadan bhavataH putro. ajIvIt|
52 So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
tataH kaM kAlamArabhya rogapratIkArArambho jAtA iti pR^iShTe tairuktaM hyaH sArddhadaNDadvayAdhikadvitIyayAme tasya jvaratyAgo. abhavat|
53 Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.
tadA yIshustasmin kShaNe proktavAn tava putro. ajIvIt pitA tadbuddhvA saparivAro vyashvasIt|
54 This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
