John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,
Awo Yesu bwe yamanya nti Abafalisaayo bategedde nti abantu bangi bafuuse bayigirizwa be, era ng’abatiza bangi okusinga Yokaana,
2 (though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples, )
newaakubadde nga Yesu yennyini teyabatiza wabula abayigirizwa be, be baabatizanga,
3 he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,
n’ava e Buyudaaya n’addayo e Ggaliraaya.
4 and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.
Kyali kimugwanira okuyita mu Samaliya.
5 He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;
Awo n’atuuka mu kibuga ky’e Samaliya ekiyitibwa Sukali, nga kiri kumpi n’ekibanja Yakobo kye yawa mutabani we Yusufu.
6 and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;
Awo we waali oluzzi lwa Yakobo. Yesu yali akooye olw’olugendo lwe yatambula, n’atuula awo ku luzzi. Obudde bwali ng’essaawa mukaaga ez’omu ttuntu.
7 there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, 'Give me to drink;'
Awo omukazi Omusamaliya bwe yajja okukima amazzi, Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mpa ku mazzi nnyweko.”
8 for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;
Mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa be baali bagenze mu kibuga okugulayo ku mmere.
9 the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, 'How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.
Awo omukazi Omusamaliya n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe Omuyudaaya oyinza otya okusaba nze Omusamaliya amazzi okunywa?” Kubanga Abayudaaya nga tebakolagana na Basamaliya.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, 'If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Singa obadde omanyi ekirabo kya Katonda, n’oyo akugamba nti mpa nnywe ku mazzi bw’ali ggwe wandimusabye, naye yandikuwadde amazzi amalamu.”
11 The woman saith to him, 'Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?
Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Ssebo, tolina kalobo, n’oluzzi luwanvu nnyo.
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?'
Ate n’ekirala, ggwe oli mukulu okusinga jjajjaffe Yakobo eyatuwa oluzzi luno ate nga yanywangamu ye n’abaana be n’ensolo ze?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, 'Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again;
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Buli muntu yenna anywa ku mazzi gano ennyonta eriddamu okumuluma.
15 The woman saith unto him, 'Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.'
Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Ssebo, mpa ku mazzi ago, ennyonta eremenga kunnuma era nneme kujjanga wano kukima mazzi.”
16 Jesus saith to her, 'Go, call thy husband, and come hither;'
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Genda oyite balo, okomewo.”
17 the woman answered and said, 'I have not a husband.' Jesus saith to her, 'Well didst thou say — A husband I have not;
Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Sirina baze!” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Oyogedde kituufu nti tolina balo.
18 for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.'
Kubanga walina babalo bataano, naye oyo gw’olina kaakano si balo. Ekyo oyogedde mazima.”
19 The woman saith to him, 'Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;
Omukazi n’agamba Yesu nti, “Ssebo, ndaba ng’oli nnabbi.
20 our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye — ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'
Ku lusozi luno bajjajjaffe kwe baasinzizanga. Naye mmwe mugamba nti, Yerusaalemi kye kifo ekigwana okusinzizangamu.”
21 Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mukazi wattu nzikiriza, kubanga ekiseera kijja kye mutalisinzizangamu Kitaffe ku lusozi luno wadde mu Yerusaalemi.
22 ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;
Mmwe musinza kye mutamanyi; ffe tusinza kye tumanyi kubanga obulokozi buva mu Buyudaaya.
23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;
Naye ekiseera kijja, era kituuse, abo abasinziza mu mazima bwe banaasinzizanga Kitaffe mu mwoyo ne mu mazima. Kubanga Kitaffe anoonya abo abamusinza era n’abo abamusinza kibagwanira okumusinzanga mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.
24 God [is] a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'
Kubanga Katonda Mwoyo n’abo abamusinza kibagwanira okumusinza mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.”
25 The woman saith to him, 'I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'
Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Weewaawo, mmanyi nti Masiya, gwe bayita Kristo, ajja. Ye bw’alijja, alitutegeeza ebintu byonna.”
26 Jesus saith to her, 'I am [he], who am speaking to thee.'
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nze nzuuno ayogera naawe.”
27 And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, 'What seekest thou?' or 'Why speakest thou with her?'
Awo mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa ba Yesu ne bakomawo. Ne beewuunya okulaba ng’ayogera n’omukazi. Kyokka ne watabaawo amubuuza nsonga emwogezezza naye wadde bye babadde boogerako.
28 The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men,
Awo omukazi n’aleka awo ensuwa ye n’agenda mu kibuga n’ategeeza abantu nti,
29 'Come, see a man, who told me all things — as many as I did; is this the Christ?'
“Mujje mulabe omuntu antegeezezza buli kye nnali nkoze. Ayinza okuba nga ye Kristo?”
30 They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him.
Ne bava mu kibuga ne bajja eri Yesu.
31 And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, 'Rabbi, eat;'
Mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa baali beegayirira Yesu alye ku mmere, nga bagamba nti, “Labbi lya ku mmere.”
32 and he said to them, 'I have food to eat that ye have not known.'
N’abaddamu nti, “Nze nnina ekyokulya mmwe kye mutamanyi.”
33 The disciples then said one to another, 'Did any one bring him anything to eat?'
Awo abayigirizwa ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Waliwo omuntu amuleetedde ekyokulya?”
34 Jesus saith to them, 'My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekyokulya kyange kwe kukola eyantuma by’ayagala, era n’okutuukiriza omulimu gwe.
35 do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.
Mmwe temugamba nti, ‘Ekyasigaddeyo emyezi ena amakungula gatuuke?’ Kale muyimuse amaaso gammwe, mutunuulire ennimiro! Amakungula gatuuse.
36 'And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together; (aiōnios g166)
Akungula asasulwa empeera ye era n’akuŋŋaanyiza ebibala mu bulamu obutaggwaawo, olwo asiga n’akungula balyoke basanyukire wamu. (aiōnios g166)
37 for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.
Bwe kityo ekigambo nti, ‘Omu asiga omulala n’akungula,’ kyekiva kiba eky’amazima.
38 I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered.
Mbatumye mmwe okukungula kye mutaasiga. Abalala be baasiga naye mmwe mugobolodde.”
39 And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, — 'He told me all things — as many as I did.'
Abasamaliya bangi ab’omu kibuga abaamukkiririzaamu olw’ebyo omukazi bye yabategeeza, ng’abagamba nti, “Antegeezezza buli kye nnali nkoze!”
40 When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days;
Awo Abasamaliya bwe bajja eri Yesu ne bamwegayirira yeeyongere okubeera nabo, n’abeera nabo ennaku bbiri.
41 and many more did believe because of his word,
Bangi ne bakkiriza olw’ebyo bye yabategeeza.
42 and said to the woman — 'No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world — the Christ.'
Awo ne bagamba omukazi nti, “Tumukkiriza si lwa bigambo byo byokka, naye naffe twewuliridde ebigambo bye. Ddala tutegedde nga ye Mulokozi w’ensi.”
43 And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee,
Ennaku ezo ebbiri bwe zaggwaako, Yesu n’ava e Samaliya n’alaga e Ggaliraaya.
44 for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;
Ye yennyini yagamba nti, “Nnabbi taweebwa kitiibwa mu nsi gy’asibuka.”
45 when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast — for they also went to the feast.
Awo Abagaliraaya ne bamwaniriza n’essanyu lingi nnyo, kubanga baali bamaze okulaba eby’amagero bye yakolera mu Yerusaalemi bwe baali ku Mbaga ey’Okuyitako.
46 Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,
Yesu n’akomawo mu Kaana eky’e Ggaliraaya, gye yafuulira amazzi wayini. Waaliyo omukungu wa gavumenti ow’e Kaperunawumu eyalina mutabani we nga mulwadde.
47 he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.
Omukungu bwe yawulira nga Yesu avudde e Buyudaaya azze e Ggaliraaya, n’agenda gy’ali n’amusaba agende amuwonyeze mutabani we eyali okumpi n’okufa.
48 Jesus then said unto him, 'If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.'
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Temusobola kunzikiriza nga temulabye ku bubonero na byamagero?”
49 The courtier saith unto him, 'Sir, come down before my child die;'
Omukungu n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, nkusaba oserengete ojje ng’omwana wange tannafa!”
50 Jesus saith to him, 'Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,
Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ggenda mutabani wo awonye!” Omusajja n’akkiriza Yesu ky’amugambye n’agenda.
51 and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying — 'Thy child doth live;'
Naye bwe yali ng’akyali mu kkubo abaddu be ne bamusisinkana ne bamutegeeza nti mutabani we awonye.
52 he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him — 'Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;'
N’ababuuza ekiseera omulenzi we yassuukidde. Ne bamuddamu nti, “Jjo olw’eggulo essaawa nga musanvu omusujja ne gumuwonako!”
53 then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him — 'Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;
Awo Kitaawe w’omulenzi n’ajjukira nga ky’ekiseera ekyo Yesu we yamugambira nti, “Mutabani wo awonye.” Awo omukungu oyo n’ab’enju ye bonna ne bakkiriza.
54 this again a second sign did Jesus, having come out of Judea to Galilee.
Kino kye kyamagero ekyokubiri Yesu kye yakola ng’akomyewo e Ggaliraaya ng’avudde e Buyudaaya.
