Johana 4
1 Afarisai nĩmaiguire atĩ Jesũ nĩagĩĩaga na arutwo aingĩ gũkĩra Johana na akamabatithia,
Jesus, knowing that the Pharisees were informed that he made and immersed more disciples than John,
2 o na gũtuĩka, ti Jesũ wabatithanagia, no nĩ arutwo ake.
(though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who immersed, )
3 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mwathani aamenyire ũhoro ũcio, akiuma Judea na agĩcooka Galili o rĩngĩ.
left Judea, and returned to Galilee.
4 Na rĩrĩ, no nginya angĩatuĩkanĩirie bũrũri wa Samaria.
Being obliged to pass through Samaria,
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, agĩkinya itũũra rĩarĩ Samaria rĩetagwo Sukaru, hakuhĩ na gĩthaka kĩrĩa Jakubu aaheete mũriũ Jusufu.
he came to a Samaritan city, called Sychar, near the heritage which Jacob gave 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.
Now Jacob's well was there. And Jesus, wearied with the journey, sat down by the well, it being about the sixth hour.
7 Na rĩrĩa mũtumia ũmwe Mũsamaria okire gũtaha maaĩ-rĩ, Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “No ũũhe maaĩ ma kũnyua?”
A woman of Samaria, having come to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give me some drink,
8 (Hĩndĩ ĩyo arutwo ake nĩmathiĩte kũgũra irio itũũra-inĩ.)
(for his disciples were gone into the city to buy 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.)
the Samaritan woman answered, How is it, that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (For the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)
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.”
Jesus replied, If you knew the bounty of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me some 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?
She answered, Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep: whence, then, have you the 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?”
Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe ũnyuuaga maaĩ maya nĩanyootaga rĩngĩ,
Jesus replied, Whosoever drinks of this water, will thirst again;
15 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, he maaĩ macio nĩguo ndikananyoote rĩngĩ, na ndige gũũkaga haha gũtaha maaĩ.”
The woman answered, Sir, give me this water, that I may never be thirsty, nor come hither to draw.
16 Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ wĩte mũthuuriguo mũũke nake.”
Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come back.
17 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na mũthuuri.” Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ waria ma rĩrĩa woiga atĩ ndũrĩ na mũthuuri.
She answered, I have no husband. Jesus replied, You say well, 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 you have have had five husbands; and he whom you now have, is not your husband. In this, you have spoken truth.
19 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, nĩndĩrona atĩ wee ũrĩ mũnabii.
The woman said, Sir, I perceive that you are 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 on this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place, where me ought to worship.
21 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, njĩtĩkia, kũrĩ ihinda rĩroka rĩrĩa mũtakaahooyagĩra Baba kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ o na kana Jerusalemu.
Jesus answered, Woman, believe me, the time approaches when you shall neither come to this mountain, nor go to Jerusalem, to worship the Father.
22 Inyuĩ Asamaria mũhooyaga kĩrĩa mũtooĩ; no ithuĩ tũhooyaga kĩrĩa tũũĩ, nĩgũkorwo ũhonokio uumĩte kũrĩ Ayahudi.
You worship what you know not, we worship what we know: for salvation is from 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 time comes, or, rather, is come, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such are the worshipers whom the Father requires.
24 Ngai nĩ roho, nao arĩa mamũhooyaga no nginya mamũhooyage na roho, na mamũhooyage na ma.”
God is Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and truth.
25 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Mesia” (ũrĩa wĩtagwo Kristũ) “nĩarooka. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa agooka nĩagatũtaarĩria maũndũ mothe.”
The woman replied, I know that the Messiah comes, (that is, Christ; ) when he is come, he will teach us all things.
26 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩrakwarĩria nĩ niĩ we.”
Jesus said to her, I who speak to you, 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?”
Upon this, his disciples came, and wondered that he talked with a woman; yet none of them said, What do you seek? or, Why do you talk with her?
28 O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtumia ũcio agĩtiga ndigithũ yake ya maaĩ, agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ, akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ,
Then the woman left her pitcher, and having gone into the city, said to the people,
29 “Ũkai, mũkone mũndũ wanjĩĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe ndaaneka. Ũcio no akorwo nĩwe Kristũ?”
Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is this not the Messiah?
30 Nao makiuma kũu itũũra-inĩ, magĩthiĩ harĩa Jesũ aarĩ.
They, accordingly, went out of the city, and came to him.
31 Mũira wa makinye, arutwo ake makĩmũringĩrĩria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rabii, rĩa irio.”
Meanwhile, the disciples entreating him, said, Rabbi, eat.
32 Nowe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na irio cia kũrĩa, iria mũtarĩ ũndũ wacio mũũĩ.”
He answered, I have food to eat which you know not.
33 Nao arutwo ake makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ hihi harĩ mũndũ ũmũreheire irio?”
Then said his disciples, one to another, Has any man brought him food?
34 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Irio ciakwa nĩ gwĩka wendi wa ũrĩa wandũmire na kũrĩĩkia wĩra wake.
Jesus answered, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to 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, After four months comes harvest? But I say, Lift up your eyes, and survey the fields; for they are already white enough for 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)
The reaper receives wages, and gathers the fruits of eternal life, 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 proverb is verified, One sows, and another reaps.
38 Niĩ ndaamũtũmire mũkagethe kĩrĩa mũtarutĩire wĩra. Angĩ nĩo marutĩte wĩra mũritũ, na inyuĩ mũkagetha uumithio wa wĩra wao.”
I sent you to reap that on which you have bestowed no labor: others labored, and you get possession of their labors.
39 Nao Asamaria aingĩ kuuma itũũra rĩu makĩmwĩtĩkia nĩ ũndũ wa ũira wa mũtumia ũcio, tondũ nĩameerire atĩrĩ, “Nĩanjĩĩrire maũndũ marĩa mothe ndaneeka.”
Now, many Samaritans of that city believed him, on the testimony of the woman, who said, He told me all that ever I did.
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Asamaria mokire kũrĩ Jesũ, makĩmũringĩrĩria aikaranie nao, nake agĩikara mĩthenya ĩĩrĩ.
When, therefore, they came to him, they besought him to stay with them; and he staid there two days.
41 Na tondũ wa ciugo ciake, andũ angĩ aingĩ magĩĩtĩkia.
And many more believed, because of what they heard from himself;
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 said to the woman, It is not, now, on account of what you have reported, that we believe; for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is truly the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.
43 Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩyo ĩĩrĩ, akiumagara agĩthiĩ Galili.
After the two days, Jesus departed, and went to Galilee,
44 (Amu Jesũ we mwene nĩoigĩte atĩ mũnabii ndatĩĩagwo bũrũri-inĩ wake mwene.)
for he had himself declared that a prophet is not regarded 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.
Being come into Galilee, he was well received by the Galileans, who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem, during the festival; for they likewise attended the festival.
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 Jesus returned to Cana, of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain officer of the court, whose son lay sick at Capernaum,
47 Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio aaiguire atĩ Jesũ nĩoimĩte Judea agooka Galili, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, akĩmũthaitha athiĩ akahonie mũriũ, ũrĩa warĩ hakuhĩ gũkua.
who having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and entreated him to come and cure his son, who was dying.
48 Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũtangĩona ciama na morirũ, mũtingĩtĩkia.”
Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and prodigies, you will not believe.
49 Nake mũnene ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, nĩtũikũrũke mwana wakwa atanakua.”
The officer answered, Come, Sir, before my child die.
50 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Inũka. Mũrũguo nĩekũhona.” Mũndũ ũcio agĩĩtĩkia ũguo Jesũ aamwĩrire, na akĩinũka.
Jesus replied, Go your way. Your son is well. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went his way.
51 Naarĩ njĩra akĩinũka, ndungata ciake ikĩmũtũnga na ndũmĩrĩri atĩ mũrũwe arĩ o muoyo.
As he was returning, his servants met him, and informed him that his son was well.
52 Rĩrĩa aamooririe nĩ ta thaa ciigana mũriũ aambĩrĩirie kũigua wega, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ira thaa mũgwanja nĩguo araahonire.”
He then inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They answered, Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
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 the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son is well; and he, and all his family, believed.
54 Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩarĩ kĩama gĩa keerĩ kĩrĩa Jesũ aaringire kũu Galili, oimĩte Judea.
This second miracle Jesus performed, after returning from Judea to Galilee.
