Yohanes 4
1 Farisitɔwo se be Yesu le nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔm fũu, eye wòle mawutsi dem ta na amewo tsɔ wu Yohanes,
When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 togbɔ be menye Yesu ŋutɔe le mawutsi dem ta na amewo o, ke boŋ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawoe.
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, )
3 Esi Yesu se nya sia la, edzo le Yudea, hetrɔ yi Galilea.
He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Enɔ na Yesu be wòato Samaria hafi ayi Galilea.
And he must needs go 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 comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
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.
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.
7 Eteƒe medidi o la, Samaria nyɔnu aɖe va be yeadu tsi. Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Àte ŋu ana tsi aɖem manoa?”
There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
8 (Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yi kɔƒea me yi nuɖuɖu ƒle ge.)
(For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.)
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 says the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings 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.”
Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
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 says to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?
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?”
Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame sia ame si no tsi sia la, tsikɔ agawui,
Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
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 says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
16 Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàyɔ srɔ̃wò vɛ.”
Jesus says to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
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 said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband:
18 Elabena èɖe ŋutsu atɔ̃ kpɔ, eye ame si gbɔ nèle fifia hã la, menye srɔ̃wò wònye o.” Esia nye nyateƒe.
For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
19 Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, mexɔe se be Nyagblɔɖilae nènye.
The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that you are 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 mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem 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.
Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Mi Samariatɔwo la, miesubɔa nu si mienya o, ke míawo la, míesubɔa nu si míenya, elabena xɔxɔ la tso Yudatɔwo gbɔ.
You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
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 hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks 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 Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
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 says to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee.”
Jesus says to her, I that speak to you am he.
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 on this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you 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 water pot, and went her way into the city, and says 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 told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Ale amewo tso dua me va be yewoakpɔe.
Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
31 Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe kuku nɛ bena, “Nufiala, va ɖu nu.”
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 Ke Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nuɖuɖu le asinye, esi ŋu miawo mienya nu le o.”
But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not of.
33 Ke nusrɔ̃lawo bia le wo nɔewo dome be, “Ɖe ame aɖe tsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ nɛa?”
Therefore says the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him something to eat?
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.
Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
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 you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
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 reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Esiae wɔe be nya si wogblɔ ɖi be, ‘Ame aɖe ƒãa nu, eye ame bubu va ŋena’ la nye nyateƒe.
And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.
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 reap that where on you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you are entered into their labors.
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.
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 Azɔ esi Samariatɔwo va egbɔ la, woɖe kuku nɛ be, wòanɔ yewo gbɔ, eye wònɔ wo gbɔ ŋkeke eve
So when the Samaritans were come to him, they sought him that he would tarry with them: and he stayed there two days.
41 Le eƒe nyawo ta la, ame geɖewo xɔ edzi se.
And many more believed because of his own 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 said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
43 Le ŋkeke eve megbe la, edzo yi Galilea.
Now after two days he departed there, and went into Galilee.
44 (Yesu ŋutɔ gblɔ be nyagblɔɖila aɖeke mekpɔa bubu le eya ŋutɔ dedu me o.)
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
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 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.
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.
So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick 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 Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and sought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mia dometɔ aɖeke maxɔ dzinye ase o, dzaa miekpɔ dzesi kple nukunuwo?”
Then said Jesus to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
49 Aʋafia la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, va míyi kaba hafi vinyea naku?”
The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
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.
Jesus says to him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he 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 now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives.
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 inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever 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.
So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 Esiae nye nukunu evelia si Yesu wɔ, esi wòtso Yudea va Galilea.
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
