Yohanes 4
1 Farisitɔwo se be Yesu le nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔm fũu, eye wòle mawutsi dem ta na amewo tsɔ wu Yohanes,
Nowe when the Lord knew, how the Pharises had heard, that Iesus made and baptized moe disciples then Iohn,
2 togbɔ be menye Yesu ŋutɔe le mawutsi dem ta na amewo o, ke boŋ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawoe.
(Though Iesus himselfe baptized not: but his disciples)
3 Esi Yesu se nya sia la, edzo le Yudea, hetrɔ yi Galilea.
Hee left Iudea, and departed againe into Galile.
4 Enɔ na Yesu be wòato Samaria hafi ayi Galilea.
And he must needes goe through Samaria.
5 Le ŋdɔ ga wuieve me lɔƒo la, eva ɖo Samariatɔwo ƒe du aɖe si woyɔna be Sikar la me, si te ɖe anyigba si Yakob na via Yosef la ŋu.
Then came hee to a citie of Samaria called Sychar, neere vnto the possession that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph.
6 Yakob ƒe vudo la le afi sia. Vudo sia le anyigba si Yakob tsɔ na via Yosef la dzi. Le mɔ legbe si wòzɔ kple ɖeɖiteameŋu ta la, Yesu nɔ anyi ɖe vudoa gbɔ be yeadzudzɔ. Anɔ gaƒoƒo adelia me.
And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then wearied in the iourney, sate thus on the well: it was about the sixt houre.
7 Eteƒe medidi o la, Samaria nyɔnu aɖe va be yeadu tsi. Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Àte ŋu ana tsi aɖem manoa?”
There came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayd vnto her, Giue me drinke.
8 (Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yi kɔƒea me yi nuɖuɖu ƒle ge.)
For his disciples were gone away into the citie, to buy meate.
9 Samaria nyɔnu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Yudatɔ nènye, eye menye Samariatɔ. Aleke wò Yudatɔ, nèle tsi biam nye Samaria nyɔnu be yeano?” (Elabena Yudatɔwo kple Samariatɔwo menyina o.)
Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him, Howe is it, that thou being a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes meddle not with the Samaritans.
10 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ne ɖe nènya Mawu ƒe nunana kple ame si ƒomevi le tsi biam wò la, anye ne èbiae, eye wòana agbetsi wò.”
Iesus answered and saide vnto her, If thou knewest that gift of God, and who it is that saieth to thee, Giue mee drinke, thou wouldest haue asked of him, and hee woulde haue giuen thee, water of life.
11 Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, vudo sia goglo, eye tsikunu mele asiwò be nàtsɔ aku tsii le eme o. Afi ka nèle agbetsi la kpɔ ge le?
The woman saide vnto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to drawe with, and the well is deepe: from whence then hast thou that water of life?
12 Gawu la, ɖe nède ŋgɔ wu mía fofo Yakob, ame si ɖe vudo la na mí, eye eya ŋutɔ, viawo kple eƒe lãwo no tsi le emea?”
Art thou greater then our father Iacob, which gaue vs the well, and hee himselfe dranke thereof, and his sonnes, and his cattell?
13 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame sia ame si no tsi sia la, tsikɔ agawui,
Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water, shall thirst againe:
15 Nyɔnu la gblɔ na Yesu be, “Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, na tsi sia ƒe ɖem, be tsikɔ magawum ne mava nɔ tsi kum le afi sia gbe sia gbe o.”
The woman said vnto him, Syr, giue me of that water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to drawe.
16 Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàyɔ srɔ̃wò vɛ.”
Iesus said vnto her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.
17 Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Srɔ̃ mele asinye o.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Èto nyateƒe esi nègblɔ be srɔ̃ mele ye si o.
The woman answered, and saide, I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto her, Thou hast well said, I haue no husband.
18 Elabena èɖe ŋutsu atɔ̃ kpɔ, eye ame si gbɔ nèle fifia hã la, menye srɔ̃wò wònye o.” Esia nye nyateƒe.
For thou hast had fiue husbands, and he whom thou nowe hast, is not thine husband: that saidest thou truely.
19 Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, mexɔe se be Nyagblɔɖilae nènye.
The woman saide vnto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.
20 Nu ka ta mi Yudatɔwo miegblɔna be Yerusalem kokoko wòle be woasubɔ Mawu le, evɔ mí Samariatɔwo hã míebe ele be woasubɔ Mawu le to sia dzi, elabena afi siae mía tɔgbuiwo subɔ Mawu le?”
Our fathers worshipped in this mountaine, and ye say, that in Ierusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyɔnu, xɔ dzinye se be ɣeyiɣi aɖe gbɔna, esi womagasubɔ Fofo la le to sia dzi alo le Yerusalem o.
Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, beleeue me, the houre commeth, when ye shall neither in this mountaine, nor at Hierusalem worship ye Father.
22 Mi Samariatɔwo la, miesubɔa nu si mienya o, ke míawo la, míesubɔa nu si míenya, elabena xɔxɔ la tso Yudatɔwo gbɔ.
Ye worship that which ye knowe not: we worship that which we knowe: for saluation is of the Iewes.
23 Gake ɣeyiɣi aɖe gbɔna, eye wòde azɔ be nyateƒe subɔsubɔwɔlawo woasubɔ Fofo la le gbɔgbɔ kple nyateƒe me, elabena Fofo la dia subɔla siawo tɔgbi.
But the houre commeth, and nowe is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit, and trueth: for the Father requireth euen such to worship him.
24 Mawu nye Gbɔgbɔ, eye ame siwo le esubɔm la, ele be woasubɔe le gbɔgbɔ kple nyateƒe me.”
God is a Spirite, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and trueth.
25 Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Menya be Mesia” (si woyɔna be Kristo la) “le vava ge. Ne eva la aɖe nu sia nu gɔme na mí.”
The woman said vnto him, I knowe well that Messias shall come which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell vs all things.
26 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee.”
Iesus said vnto her, I am he, that speake vnto thee.
27 Esi wògblɔ nya sia vɔ teti ko la, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va do, eye wòwɔ nuku na wo be Yesu nɔ dze ɖom kple nyɔnu aɖe, gake wo dometɔ aɖeke mebia be, “Nu ka dim nèle?” alo “Nu ka ta nèle dze ɖom kple nyɔnu la ɖo?” o.
And vpon that, came his disciples, and marueiled that he talked with a woman: yet no man said vnto him, What askest thou? or why talkest thou with her?
28 Nyɔnu la gblẽ eƒe tsize la ɖe vudoa to, eye wòtrɔ yi dua me ɖagblɔ na amewo be,
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the citie, and said to the men,
29 “Miva kpɔ ŋutsu aɖe si gblɔ nu siwo katã mewɔ kpɔ la nam ɖa. Ɖe manye eyae nye Kristo la oa?”
Come, see a man which hath tolde me all things that euer I did: is not he that Christ?
30 Ale amewo tso dua me va be yewoakpɔe.
Then they went out of the citie, and came vnto him.
31 Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe kuku nɛ bena, “Nufiala, va ɖu nu.”
In the meane while, the disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eate.
32 Ke Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nuɖuɖu le asinye, esi ŋu miawo mienya nu le o.”
But he said vnto them, I haue meate to eate that ye know not of.
33 Ke nusrɔ̃lawo bia le wo nɔewo dome be, “Ɖe ame aɖe tsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ nɛa?”
Then said ye disciples betweene themselues, Hath any man brought him meate?
34 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nye nuɖuɖue nye be mawɔ Mawu, ame si dɔm ɖa la ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu, eye mawu dɔ si wòdɔm la wɔwɔ nu.
Iesus saide vnto them, My meate is that I may doe the will of him that sent me, and finish his worke.
35 Menye miawoe gblɔna be, ‘Esusɔ ɣleti ene ne nuŋeɣi naɖo oa’? Miwu mo dzi ne miakpɔ agblewo dzi ɖa! Nukuawo tsi na ŋeŋe.
Say not ye, There are yet foure moneths, and then commeth haruest? Beholde, I say vnto you, Lift vp your eyes, and looke on the regions: for they are white alreadie vnto haruest.
36 Fifia gɔ̃ hã la, ame si ŋea nu la xɔa fetu, eye wòŋea nukuwo hena agbe mavɔ la, be nuƒãla kple nuŋela siaa nakpɔ dzidzɔ. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reapeth, receiueth rewarde, and gathereth fruite vnto life eternall, that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, might reioyce together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Esiae wɔe be nya si wogblɔ ɖi be, ‘Ame aɖe ƒãa nu, eye ame bubu va ŋena’ la nye nyateƒe.
For herein is the saying true, that one soweth, and an other reapeth.
38 Nye la, medɔ mi be miayi aɖaŋe nu le afi si mieƒã nu ɖo o la; ame bubuwoe ƒã nua hafi miawo mieyi ɖaŋe.”
I sent you to reape that, whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entred into their labours.
39 Samariatɔ geɖewo xɔ Yesu dzi se ɖe nya si nyɔnu la gblɔ na wo be, “Egblɔ nu sia nu si mewɔ kpɔ la nam la ta.” la ta.
Nowe many of the Samaritans of that citie beleeued in him, for the saying of the woman which testified, He hath tolde me all things that euer I did.
40 Azɔ esi Samariatɔwo va egbɔ la, woɖe kuku nɛ be, wòanɔ yewo gbɔ, eye wònɔ wo gbɔ ŋkeke eve
Then when the Samaritans were come vnto him, they besought him, that he woulde tarie with them: and he abode there two dayes.
41 Le eƒe nyawo ta la, ame geɖewo xɔ edzi se.
And many moe beleeued because of his owne word.
42 Ale wova gblɔ na nyɔnu si do goe gbã le vudoa to la be, “Míawo hã míexɔ edzi se, elabena míawo ŋutɔ hã míese nya geɖewo tso eƒe nu me, ke menye le wò ɖaseɖiɖi ɖeɖe ko ta o. Míenya be ame siae nye xexea me ƒe Ɖela la vavã.”
And they said vnto the woman, Nowe we beleeue, not because of thy saying: for we haue heard him our selues, and knowe that this is in deede that Christ the Sauiour of the world.
43 Le ŋkeke eve megbe la, edzo yi Galilea.
So two dayes after he departed thence, and went into Galile.
44 (Yesu ŋutɔ gblɔ be nyagblɔɖila aɖeke mekpɔa bubu le eya ŋutɔ dedu me o.)
For Iesus himselfe had testified, that a Prophet hath none honour in his owne countrey.
45 Esi wòyi Galilea la, Galileatɔwo xɔe nyuie, elabena wokpɔ nukunu siwo katã wòwɔ le Yerusalem, esi woyi ɖaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le afi ma.
Then when he was come into Galile, the Galileans receiued him, which had seene all the things that he did at Hierusalem at the feast: for they went also vnto the feast.
46 Yesu gava Kana le Galilea, afi si wòtrɔ tsi wòzu wain le la. Afi ma wòdo go aʋafia aɖe le. Ŋutsu sia ƒe vi le dɔ lém le Kapernaum.
And Iesus came againe into Cana a towne of Galile, where he had made of water, wine. And there was a certaine ruler, whose sonne was sicke at Capernaum.
47 Esi ŋutsu sia se be Yesu tso Yudea va ɖo Galilea la, eyi egbɔ heɖe kuku nɛ be wòava yɔ dɔ ye viŋutsuvi si ɖo kudo nu la na ye.
When he heard that Iesus was come out of Iudea into Galile, he went vnto him, and besought him that he would goe downe, and heale his sonne: for he was euen ready to die.
48 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mia dometɔ aɖeke maxɔ dzinye ase o, dzaa miekpɔ dzesi kple nukunuwo?”
Then saide Iesus vnto him, Except ye see signes and wonders, ye will not beleeue.
49 Aʋafia la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, va míyi kaba hafi vinyea naku?”
The ruler said vnto him, Syr, goe downe before my sonne dye.
50 Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi aƒe me, elabena viwò la ƒe lãme sẽ.” Aʋafia la xɔ nya si Yesu gblɔ nɛ la dzi se, eye wòtrɔ dzo yina aƒe me.
Iesus said vnto him, Go thy way, thy sonne liueth: and the man beleeued the worde that Iesus had spoken vnto him, and went his way.
51 Esi wònɔ mɔa dzi yina la, eƒe dɔla aɖewo va kpee hegblɔ nɛ be via ƒe lãme sẽ.
And as he was nowe going downe, his seruants met him, saying, Thy sonne liueth.
52 Aʋafia la bia gaƒoƒo si me tututu via ƒe lãme sẽ la wo. Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Etsɔ, anɔ abe ŋdɔ ga ɖeka me ene la, asrã la vɔ nɛ.”
Then enquired he of them the houre when he began to amend. And they said vnto him, Yesterday the seuenth houre the feuer left him.
53 Aʋafia la ɖo ŋku edzi be gaƒoƒo ma me tututue Yesu gblɔ na ye be, “Viwò la ƒe lãme sẽ.” Ale aʋafia la kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo katã xɔ Yesu dzi se.
Then the father knew, that it was the same houre in the which Iesus had said vnto him, Thy sonne liueth. And he beleeued, and all his houshold.
54 Esiae nye nukunu evelia si Yesu wɔ, esi wòtso Yudea va Galilea.
This second miracle did Iesus againe, after he was come out of Iudea into Galile.
