Yanisa Mishiracho 4
1 He woode Yesussay Yanssapa bollara daaro asa bena kalizadey othizayssane xammaqzayssa Paarssaweti siyyda.
[At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
2 Gido attn xmmaqizayti iza kalizzytape atin izi xmmaxxbeyna.
3 Iza gish hasettizaysa Paarsaweti siyydayssa Yesussay eerdi Yihhudda derre aggdi Gaalia dere simmi bidees.
When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
4 Izi he bishshin Sammaryara adhi busi izas dosa gidoonta maane gidides.
[He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
5 Heesa gissh Sikkaro getettizzaso Smmarya Katamma bidees. Sikkara Yaqoobeey ba naa Yoosehaaththaos imida bita achan daysu.
So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
6 Henika Yaaqobbe hatha olay dees. Yesussay o7gge haamutti dabburidi gish he o7llay achchan uttidees. Wodeykka gllassape usuppune Ssaate mala.
The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
7 Hesaa woode isi Saammarya dere Mccash dizaara haathe tikkanas he hatha tikanas he hatha olakko yaddus. Yesussyka izo “tana haath ushsha” gides.
8 Hessi hanishin Yesusaa kallizzayta qumma shshamana kattamma bida.
9 Hinna sammarrya Maacashaya Yesussa “ne Ayyhhuda Assi gida utada waanaada tana saammariyya machchas (hathe ushsha) ga o7ychazii?” gadus. Iza hessa gidaay Ayyhhudda Assasinne Sammarriya asa gagoteththi donnta gishasa.
so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
10 Yesussayka Izis “Xoossa iimotaayne nena (tana hathe uusha) gizzadey izi o7naakone ne eeriazzko ne iza woosana beses. Izika ness deeyo hath nees immanakoshin” gides.
Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
11 Izaka Izas hizgadus. “Goodo nees hath duqqza miishi deena haththa olaykka darro cimma, histin ne deeyo hatha Awaappe demmane?
She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
12 Ne haayssa haththa o7llazza nuus immida nu Aawwa Yiqqoobeppe Addazzi Izzine iza nayti iza mmhhetikka haaysa ha o7llape haath uyydaa.”
Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
13 Yesussay izis hizgidees “hayyssa ha haththafe uyzzaye wuri namma7nthoo ssamottidi zari hara uyaanashshn.
Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
15 Maccashshayaka “Goodo heeyssafe guye tanna heththi saammonta mallane qaseesaka ta heththi tikkana ha yonnta mmalla hessa ne giza haththa malla hathth tass imaarrkii!” gadus.
The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
16 Yesussayka izo “baadane ne azzinna xega ekkada ya” gides.
[Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
17 Maaccashayakka zaradaa “tas azinnay deena” hizgiin Yesussay hizgidees “(ne tas azzinay deena) guussay tumukko.”
She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
18 Gasooykka kase nes iichachuu azznati detes, qasse ha7i nenara dizzayyssi ne azzina giddenaa, hessa gish ne tummu gaddasa.”
It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
19 Maccashaya izas hizgadus “Goodo neni nabe gdisayssa ta ha7i erraddis.”
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
20 Kasse nu awwatti haayssa zumaa bolla gooynidaa. Innte qasse “Assaye gooynnanass besizzasay Yerrussallamekko geista.”
But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
21 Yesussaykka izzis hizgides “hanne maaccashshaye Xoossa aawas haayysa zuma boolla woykko Yerrussallamen inte gooynnota wodey yanaysa amaana”
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
22 Intene inte eroonta Xoossas goyynetta. Nu gidikko asas atootethi Ayyhudeppe giddida gishsha nuni nu erriza Xoossas goyynos.
You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
23 Gido atin tuumu goynnizzayti Xoossa aawas Ayyananinne tumatethan goynizza woddey buuro yaanna. Haray atoshshn haiikka yiddes. Xoossa aawaykka kooyzay heesa malla gooyniizaytta.
However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
24 “Xossi ba hu7es a7yanna. Iza goynizayti aynaninne tumatethan gooynanass beesees.”
God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
25 Macashayakka “Xossay tiyidade Kirstosay yanaassa ta errayys, izi yiidi haniizzaz wurrsi nuus yoottana” gaddus.
The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
26 Yesussayka izis “hii neenara hssaizzay ta izzakko.” giddes.
Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
27 Hessi haniishshin izza kallizzayta ba biddassoppe simmida. Yesussay Maaccashshara hassa7izaysa maallalletida. Giddo atiin “hane a77y kooyazi? wykko haniira a7zzas hassazz?” giiddi o77nikka oychchana.
Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Hessafe guuyye Mccashshaya otooza hen agagada geede kattama bada, asas.
The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
29 “Ta oththidaz wurrssi tass yottdadey ha yiddi beeyte, oone erazzy yanna Xossay tiyida Kirstosay izakkonne!” gadus.
“Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
30 Assayka kattamape kezzidi Yessusako bides.
So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
31 He wode Yesussa kalizzyti Yesussa “Asstamarre qumma ma” gdii wossida.
Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
32 Izi qaas “inte eronttay ta mizza qummay tas dees.” gidees.
But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
33 Hssa gsha iza kalizayti “aykko miza kathth asii izas ehideshsh” giidi ba grrssan hasaeetda.
So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
34 “Yesussayka istas zaridi ta quumay tana kiitda ta aawa shene o7thone iza ootho polo” gides.
Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
35 Inte qaas “kaththa mxxay gkkans buro o7yddu agnna a7tddes gista gideketi? Qaas ta gidikko intena (doqu giidi kaththay maxaa gakiidaysa xeelitee.) gays.
[At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
36 Maxxizadey ba damussa ekaana, medhianas gidizza ayfe shishana, hessagish zerizzadeynne maxizadeey isfe ufe7istana. (aiōnios g166)
[If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
37 Hesa gsha isadey zerana hara uray maxxana getettiza lemusooy tuuma.
As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
38 Ta intena inte daburontayssa maxnamalla yedadis. Harati oothon daburida gido attin inte ista dabursan go7etidista.”
I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
39 Mcashaya “ta oothidazi wurrsi tas izi yootides” gada asas marrkatida malla katamape daroo Samariya asay izan amanides.
Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
40 Hesagisha Samarriya asay Yesussako yidine istakoon gmaa7nmalla wosiida. Izikka nma7u gallas hen gamides.
So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
41 Iza Qalla siydi daroo asay Iza amaanides.
Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
42 Macashayokka “ha7i nu iza amanizzay ne yootida qalla gish xalla gidonta nuuka nu baggra izape siyyda gishane tumaappe izi derre ashshizade gididaysa erida gishasa” gida.
They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
43 Yesusay Samariyan nm77u gallasa gam7idappe guye Galillaa bidess.
Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
44 Izi ba baggra “nabey ba derren boonchistan” gi yootides.
45 Gido atn izi Gallila bin Gallia asay Iza loo7ethi mooki ekkides. Gasoykka pazziga Ba7ale boonchana Yerusalame bidason hen dishshin izi oothidaysa wurrsi deyyda gishshasa.
However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
46 Hessafe guye yesussay hathe Wayyne cajje oothida Gllilla derre garrsan dzza Qanna getittza ktama namantho bidees. He wode Qifrnahomen izas nay sakettida isi kawo shuumey dees.
Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
47 Izika Yesussay Yihudda dereppe gede Galilla yidayysa siydi Yesussako bidees. Yesussay dugge Qifrnahoome wodhanmallane daroo saketdii haykqqana gizza naaza pathanamalla Yesussa woossidees.
When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
48 Yesussaka izas “inte gita malatatanne malallsizaaz beyoonta aykokka amanekkta” gidees.
Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
49 Shumezikka zaridi “Godoo ta naazi hayyqoonta elela woodharkki?” gides.
But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
50 Yesussaka iza “neni ne soo ba nazi paxideess.” gidess. Adezikka Yesussay izas yootida Qalla amaniidi soo smmi bides.
Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
51 Izi soo bishshn iza ahskkarati izara ogen gagidi “ne nazi paxideskoo.” gidi izas yootida.
[The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
52 Shumezika nazi ay saten paxxidakoone issta zari oychchides. isstikka izazs “qama gllasappe Lapuun Saten iza michchizayssi agides” gida.
He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
53 Naza awaykka Yesussay “ne naazi paxidees” giday he issti izass yotizza woode gidaysa eriddess. Hessa gshsha he galassfe oykkdi izine iza so asay wuri Yesussa ammidda.
Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
54 Hayssi malattay Yesussay Yihudappe Galila yiidi oothida nma77antho malata.
That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
