< Johana 4 >

1 Afarisai nĩmaiguire atĩ Jesũ nĩagĩĩaga na arutwo aingĩ gũkĩra Johana na akamabatithia,
Thus when the Lord knew when the Pharisees heard that Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 o na gũtuĩka, ti Jesũ wabatithanagia, no nĩ arutwo ake.
(truly Jesus himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),
3 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mwathani aamenyire ũhoro ũcio, akiuma Judea na agĩcooka Galili o rĩngĩ.
He left Judea and came again into Galilee.
4 Na rĩrĩ, no nginya angĩatuĩkanĩirie bũrũri wa Samaria.
And it behooved Him to go through Samaria.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, agĩkinya itũũra rĩarĩ Samaria rĩetagwo Sukaru, hakuhĩ na gĩthaka kĩrĩa Jakubu aaheete mũriũ Jusufu.
Then He comes into a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Nakĩo gĩthima kĩa Jakubu nĩkuo kĩarĩ, nake Jesũ, tondũ wa kũnoga nĩ rũgendo, agĩikara thĩ hau gĩthima-inĩ. Na kwarĩ ta thaa thita.
And the well of Jacob was there. Then Jesus having become weary from the journey, was sitting thus by the well: it was about the sixth hour.
7 Na rĩrĩa mũtumia ũmwe Mũsamaria okire gũtaha maaĩ-rĩ, Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “No ũũhe maaĩ ma kũnyua?”
A woman comes from Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
8 (Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo ake nĩmathiĩte kũgũra irio itũũra-inĩ.)
For His disciples had gone into the city, that they might purchase food.
9 Nake mũtumia ũcio Mũsamaria akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ Mũyahudi na niĩ ndĩ mũtumia Mũsamaria. Ũngĩkĩĩhooya gĩa kũnyua atĩa?” (Nĩgũkorwo Ayahudi matirĩ ngwatanĩro na Asamaria.)
A Samaritan woman says to Him, How do you, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?
10 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Korwo nĩũũĩ kĩheo kĩa Ngai na ũkamenya nũũ ũrakũhooya maaĩ ma kũnyua, wee nĩwe ũngĩamũhooya nake nĩangĩakũhe maaĩ ma muoyo.”
And Jesus responded and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and the one who is speaking to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.
11 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, ndũrĩ na kĩndũ gĩa gũtaha maaĩ nakĩo, na gĩthima gĩkĩ nĩ kĩriku. Ũngĩkĩruta kũ maaĩ macio ma muoyo?
The woman says to Him, Sir, thou hast no windlass, and the well is deep: whence hast thou living water?
12 Anga ũkĩrĩ mũnene gũkĩra ithe witũ Jakubu ũrĩa watũheire gĩthima gĩkĩ, na we mwene aatũũrĩte anyuuaga maaĩ kuuma kĩo o hamwe na ariũ ake na ndũũru ciake cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe?”
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself and his sons, and his herds, drank of it?
13 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũnyuuaga maaĩ maya nĩanyootaga rĩngĩ,
Jesus responded and said to her, Every one drinking of this water shall thirst again:
14 no ũrĩa wothe ũkũnyua maaĩ marĩa ngaamũhe ndarĩ hĩndĩ akaanyoota. Ti-itherũ, maaĩ marĩa ngũmũhe megũtuĩka gĩthima kĩa maaĩ thĩinĩ wake, gĩtherũkage muoyo wa tene na tene.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whosoever may drink of the water that I shall give to him shall never thirst; but the water which I shall give to him shall be in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, he maaĩ macio nĩguo ndikananyoote rĩngĩ, na ndige gũũkaga haha gũtaha maaĩ.”
Then the woman says to Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ wĩte mũthuuriguo mũũke nake.”
He says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na mũthuuri.” Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ waria ma rĩrĩa woiga atĩ ndũrĩ na mũthuuri.
The woman responded and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Well didst thou say, I have no husband:
18 Ũhoro wa ma nĩ atĩ ũkoretwo ũrĩ na athuuri atano, na mũndũ mũrũme ũrĩa ũrĩ nake rĩu ti mũthuuriguo. Ũguo woiga nĩ ũhoro wa ma.”
for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: thou hast spoken this truly.
19 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, nĩndĩrona atĩ wee ũrĩ mũnabii.
The woman says to Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Maithe maitũ maahooyagĩra Ngai kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ, no inyuĩ Ayahudi muugaga atĩ Jerusalemu nokuo kũndũ kũrĩa twagĩrĩirwo nĩkũhooyagĩra Ngai.”
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where it behooveth to worship.
21 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, njĩtĩkia, kũrĩ ihinda rĩroka rĩrĩa mũtakaahooyagĩra Baba kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ o na kana Jerusalemu.
Jesus says to her, Believe me, woman, that the hour cometh, you will worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.
22 Inyuĩ Asamaria mũhooyaga kĩrĩa mũtooĩ; no ithuĩ tũhooyaga kĩrĩa tũũĩ, nĩgũkorwo ũhonokio uumĩte kũrĩ Ayahudi.
You worship, you know not what: we worship that which we know: because salvation is of the Jews.
23 No ihinda nĩrĩroka na rĩu nĩrĩkinyu, rĩrĩa arĩa mahooyaga na ma makaahooyaga Baba na roho, na mamũhooyage na ma, nĩgũkorwo nĩ andũ ta acio Baba acaragia a kũmũhooyaga.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshiping Him.
24 Ngai nĩ roho, nao arĩa mamũhooyaga no nginya mamũhooyage na roho, na mamũhooyage na ma.”
God is a Spirit, and it behooveth those who worship Him to worship in spirit and in truth.
25 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Mesia” (ũrĩa wĩtagwo Kristũ) “nĩarooka. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa agooka nĩagatũtaarĩria maũndũ mothe.”
The woman says to Him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ): when He may come, He will proclaim to us all things.
26 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩrakwarĩria nĩ niĩ we.”
Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am He.
27 O ihinda-inĩ rĩu arutwo ake magĩũka, na makĩgega maakora akĩaranĩria na mũtumia. No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe woririe atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ũrenda?” kana akĩũria, “Ũraaranĩria nake nĩkĩ?”
And at this time His disciples came, and were wondering because He was speaking with the woman; no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why do you speak with her?
28 O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtumia ũcio agĩtiga ndigithũ yake ya maaĩ, agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ, akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ,
Then the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and says to the men,
29 “Ũkai, mũkone mũndũ wanjĩĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe ndaaneka. Ũcio no akorwo nĩwe Kristũ?”
Come hither, see the man who told me all things which I did: Is not He the Christ?
30 Nao makiuma kũu itũũra-inĩ, magĩthiĩ harĩa Jesũ aarĩ.
They came out from the city, and came to Him.
31 Mũira wa makinye, arutwo ake makĩmũringĩrĩria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rabii, rĩa irio.”
Meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, Master eat.
32 Nowe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na irio cia kũrĩa, iria mũtarĩ ũndũ wacio mũũĩ.”
He said to them, I have meat to eat, which you know not.
33 Nao arutwo ake makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ hihi harĩ mũndũ ũmũreheire irio?”
Then His disciples were speaking to one another, Whether has any one brought Him something to eat?
34 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Irio ciakwa nĩ gwĩka wendi wa ũrĩa wandũmire na kũrĩĩkia wĩra wake.
Jesus says to them, My food is that I may do the will of Him that sent me, and finish His work.
35 Githĩ mũtiugaga atĩ, ‘Nĩ mĩeri ĩna ĩtigarĩte magetha makinye’? Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, hingũrai maitho manyu muone mĩgũnda! Magetha nĩmakinyu.
Do you not say, That it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and see the fields, because they are white unto the harvest
36 O na rĩu mũgethi nĩagĩĩaga na mũcaara wake, o na nĩagethaga magetha ma muoyo wa tene na tene, nĩgeetha mũhaandi na mũgethi makenanĩre hamwe. (aiōnios g166)
already. He that reapeth receiveth reward, and gathereth fruit unto eternal life; in order that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Amu nĩ ũhoro wa ma ũrĩa uugaga atĩ, ‘Ũmwe ahaandaga, nake ũngĩ akagetha.’
For in this the word is true, that there is one sowing, and another reaping.
38 Niĩ ndaamũtũmire mũkagethe kĩrĩa mũtarutĩire wĩra. Angĩ nĩo marutĩte wĩra mũritũ, na inyuĩ mũkagetha uumithio wa wĩra wao.”
I have sent you to reap that upon which you have never labored: others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.
39 Nao Asamaria aingĩ kuuma itũũra rĩu makĩmwĩtĩkia nĩ ũndũ wa ũira wa mũtumia ũcio, tondũ nĩameerire atĩrĩ, “Nĩanjĩĩrire maũndũ marĩa mothe ndaneeka.”
But many of the Samaritans from that city believed on Him through the word of the woman, testifying that, He told me all things which I did. Then when the Samaritans came to Him they asked Him to abide with them:
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Asamaria mokire kũrĩ Jesũ, makĩmũringĩrĩria aikaranie nao, nake agĩikara mĩthenya ĩĩrĩ.
and He remained there two days:
41 Na tondũ wa ciugo ciake, andũ angĩ aingĩ magĩĩtĩkia.
and many more believed on Him through His word;
42 Magĩkĩĩra mũtumia ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtiretĩkia no ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũratwĩrire; rĩu nĩtwĩiguĩrĩire ithuĩ ene na tũkamenya atĩ mũndũ ũyũ ti-itherũ nĩwe Mũhonokia wa kĩrĩndĩ.”
and they continued to say to the woman, We no longer believe through your talk; for we have heard and we know that He is truly the Savior of the world.
43 Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩyo ĩĩrĩ, akiumagara agĩthiĩ Galili.
And after two days He departed thence into Galilee.
44 (Amu Jesũ we mwene nĩoigĩte atĩ mũnabii ndatĩĩagwo bũrũri-inĩ wake mwene.)
And Jesus Himself witnessed, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Rĩrĩa aakinyire Galili, andũ a Galili makĩmũnyiita ũgeni. Nĩmonete ũrĩa wothe ekĩte Jerusalemu hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ gĩa Bathaka, nĩgũkorwo o nao maarĩ kuo.
And when He came into Galilee, Galileans received Him, having seen all things which He did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also came to the feast.
46 O rĩngĩ agĩceera Kana ya Galili, kũrĩa aagarũrĩte maaĩ magatuĩka ndibei. Na kũu Kaperinaumu nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ ũmwe mũnene warĩ na mũriũ mũrũaru.
Then He came again into Cana of Galilee, where He turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royalist, whose son was sick in Capernaum;
47 Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio aaiguire atĩ Jesũ nĩoimĩte Judea agooka Galili, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, akĩmũthaitha athiĩ akahonie mũriũ, ũrĩa warĩ hakuhĩ gũkua.
he having heard that Jesus has come out of Judea into Galilee, came away to Him, and continued to ask Him that He may come down and heal his son; for He was about to die.
48 Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũtangĩona ciama na morirũ, mũtingĩtĩkia.”
Then Jesus said to him, Unless you may see signs and wonders, you can not believe.
49 Nake mũnene ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, nĩtũikũrũke mwana wakwa atanakua.”
The nobleman says to Him, Lord, come down before my little child dies.
50 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Inũka. Mũrũguo nĩekũhona.” Mũndũ ũcio agĩĩtĩkia ũguo Jesũ aamwĩrire, na akĩinũka.
Jesus says to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and departed.
51 Naarĩ njĩra akĩinũka, ndungata ciake ikĩmũtũnga na ndũmĩrĩri atĩ mũrũwe arĩ o muoyo.
And he already coming down, the servants met him, and reported, that the child lives.
52 Rĩrĩa aamooririe nĩ ta thaa ciigana mũriũ aambĩrĩirie kũigua wega, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ira thaa mũgwanja nĩguo araahonire.”
Then he inquired the hour at which he began to improve; and they said to him, The fever left him at the seventh hour yesterday.
53 Nake ithe akĩmenya atĩ thaa icio nocio Jesũ aramwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Mũrũguo nĩekũhona.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio we na nyũmba yake yothe magĩĩtĩkia.
Then the father knew that it was at that hour at which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and he and all his house believed.
54 Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩarĩ kĩama gĩa keerĩ kĩrĩa Jesũ aaringire kũu Galili, oimĩte Judea.
Jesus, having again come out of Judea into Galilee, wrought this second miracle.
