John 4
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptising more disciples than John
Jesuh naw Johana kthaka Baptican jah pe lü, axüisaw hea jah pyangki tia mawng, Pharisee naw ngjakie.
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptise, but his disciples),
(Akcanga ta, Jesuh amät naw baptican am jah pe, axüisaw he naw ami jah peta kyaki),
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
Ami pyena mawng Jesuh naw a ngjak ja Judah khaw ceh ta lü, Kalile khaw da,
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
Samarih khaw sunpah lü cit yahki.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Jakop naw a capa Josep üng a peta khaw pei, Samarih khaw hne Sukhar mlüha pha lawki.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Acuia Jakopa tuikhui veki. Jesuh lam a lawnak bawngbai lü, tuikhui peia ngawki. Acun cun mhnüp ngsunga kyaki.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
Samarih nghnumi tui than khaia law se Jesuh naw, “Ka awk vai tui na pea,” a ti.
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
(Acun k'um üng, axüisaw he cun mlüh k’uma ei vai khyäi acun hea citkie.)
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Samarih nghnumi naw, “Ihawkba, nang Judah khyang naw, kei Samarih nghnumia veia tui na awk vai na täeiki ni?” ti lü, a kthäh be. (Judah khyang mjüe cun Samarih khyangea eiawknak tuikhawt üng eiawk am thum na u.)
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnam naw nang üng i ning pet hlüki ti am ksingki, u naw tui ning täeiki ti pi am ksingki. Na ksinga ta, angsäia xünnak tui ning pet vaia na na täei khai sü,” a ti.
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
Nghnumi naw, “Saja aw, tuikhui thuki, vähnak vai tuipung pi am na taki. Hawia kaa xünnak tui na taki ni?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
“Hina tuikhui, amät naw aw khawi lü, a cae ja, a khyüngseie naw pi ami awk khawi, kami pu Jakop naw a jah pet, nang ania kthaka kyäp bawk aih lü,” a ti.
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jesuh naw msang lü, “Hina tui awki naküt ta, tui cawi be ham khai.
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
Nghnumi naw, “Saja aw, tui am cawi ti lü, tui than khaia hia käh ka law be ti vaia, acuna tui na pea,” a ti.
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Jesuh naw, “Cita, na cei va khü lü, law bea,” a ti.
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Nghnumi naw, “Ka cei am ve,” ti se, Jesuh naw, “Ka cei am ve na ti cang veki,
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Na cei mhma ve pängki, tuh na vepüi pi na ceia am kya; acen üng akcang pyen veki,” a ti.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Nghnumi naw, “Saja aw, sahma mata na kya khaia ning ksing veng.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
“Kami pupae naw hina mcung üng Pamhnam a na hjawkhah khawikie. Nangmi Judahe naw, ‘Jerusalema ni Pamhnam hjawkhahnak’ nami tiki” a ti.
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Jesuh naw, “Nghnumi aw, ka pyen hin juma. Khyang he naw Pa cun ahina mcung ja Jerusalem mlüha am ami hjawkhahnak tia kcün pha law khai.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
“Nangmi Samarihe naw nami hjawkhah am ksing uki. Cunüngpi, keimi Judahe naw ta u kami hjawkhahki ti kami ksingki. Isetiakyaküng, küikyannak cun Judahe üngka naw lawkia kyaki.
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
“Acunsepi, akcün pha law khai, hjawkhahkie naw Ngmüimkhya ja akcanga ami hjawkhah vai cun tukbäih yea kya ve. Pa naw acukba hjawkhah khaie jah hlüeiki.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
“Mhnam cun Ngmüimkhyaa kyaki. Hjawkhahki naküt naw Ngmüimkhya ja ngthungtak am hjawkhah yah vai,” a ti.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
Nghnumi naw, “Mesijah law khai ti ka ksingki. Ani a law üng, ani naw ahmäi naküt jah mtheh law khai,” a ti.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Jesuh naw, “Nang ning ngthuheipüiki hin ani ni,” a ti.
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
Acunüng axüisaw he law bekie naw nghnumi am a na ngthuhei se hmuh u lü müncankie. Acunsepi, u naw pi, “I na ngaihki? Ise hina nghnumi na ngthuheipüiki ni?” ti lü, am kthäh u.
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
Nghnumi naw a tui um hawih hüt lü, a lawnak khaw da citki naw khyange üng jah mtheh lü,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
“Law ua, ka awmih khawi naküt ksingkia khyang mat ve ve, teng law u. Mesijah am niki aw?” a ti.
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Mlüh ceh ta u lü, Jesuha veia citkie.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Acun k'um üng axüisaw he naw, “Rabbi, na ei eia” ti lü, ami mtheh.
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
Acunsepi Jesuh naw, “Nangmi naw am nami ksing ka ei vai ta veng,” a ti.
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Axüisawe amimät üng, “A ei vai tha lawki veki aw” ti lü, ngthähkie.
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Jesuh naw, “Na tüih lawkia a ngjak hlü bilawh ja, a khut kpäng vai cun keia eiawka kyaki ni.
35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
“‘Khya kphyü ve hamki, acun käna cang ahnaka kcün pha law khai’ am nami ti khawiki aw? Teng u, ka ning jah mthehki, mang hü u lü, loe jah teng süm ua, hmin päng lü, ah vai kcün ve u.
36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
“Atki naw ngkhyengnak yah lü anglät xünnak vaia a ktheipai mcun ve, sawki ja atki ani nghngih atänga je yüm khai xawi. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
“Ahin üng, ‘mat naw saw se, mat naw atki’ tia khuisui cun cang ve.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t laboured. Others have laboured, and you have entered into their labour.”
“Am nami khüinak khawia loa cang at khaia ka ning jah tüihki. Acuia akce he naw khüi u se, ami khüinak kce cun nangmia ngmangnak ni,” a ti.
39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
Acunüng, “Ka awmih naküt ksingki ve ve,” tia, ngthu, nghnumi naw a pyena phäha Samarih khyang khawhah naw Jesuh jum lawkie.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Samarih khyange Jesuh veia ami law üng ami veia a ve vaia nghui na u se, acuia Jesuh cun mhnüp nghngih awmki.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Jesuh a ngthu pyena phäh khyang khawkän naw jum lawkie.
42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.”
Acunakyase, nghnumia veia, “Tuh ta, nanga pyena phäha am kya lü, kamimät naw kami ngjak ja akcanga hin hin khawmdeka Küikyan Bawia kyaki ti, kami ksinga phäha kami jumki,” ami ti.
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Amhnüp nghngih käna, acun üngka naw Kalile hne da citki.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
Isetiakyaküng, Jesuh amät naw, “Sahma cun amäta hminaka khawa mhlünmtainak am yah khawi naw,” a ti.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
Jerusalem Lätnak Pawia cit u lü Pawi k’um üng Jesuh naw a jah pawhmsah naküt jah hmukie naw ta, Kalile khawa Jesuh a law üng, Kalile khyange naw dokhamkie.
46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Acun käna Jesuh Kalile khaw Kana, tui cun capyituia a nglatnak sak hnüna law beki. Acuia khyang ngvai mat a capa Kapenawm mlüha a mhnatei veki.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
Ani naw Jesuh Judah khaw üngka naw Kalile khawa lawki ti a ngjak üng, a capa thih law hlüki, law lü a mdaw law be vaia cit lü a va nghuinak.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Jesuh naw, “U naw pi müncanksee ja cäiletnake am nami hmuh üng amdanga am jum hlü uki,” a ti.
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Khyang ngvai naw, “Saja aw, ka ca am a thih ham üng akjanga lawa,” a ti.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
Jesuh naw, “Cit bea, na capa daw be khai ni,” a ti. Khyang ngvai cun Jesuha pyen jum lü nghlat beki.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
A nghlat be lama a mpyae naw a na khyum u lü, “Na capa dawei law be ve,” ti lü, ami mtheh.
52 So he enquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
Ngvai naw iti üng a capa a daw law bea mawng jah kthäh se, amimi naw, “Müta, mü lam naji mat üng mhnat naw khyah ve,” ti lü, ami mtheh.
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
Jesuh naw, “Na capa daw be khai ni,” a tinaka kcüna kyaki ti a ksing. Acunakyase, amät ja a khuiim kyawnglawng ami van naw jumkie.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Ahin cun Jesuh Judah khaw üngka naw Kalile khawa a law käna anghngihnak müncankse a pawha kyaki.
