Jan 4
1 Pou sa, lè Senyè a te konnen Farizyen yo te tande Jésus t ap batize plis disip pase Jean
When Jesus realized that the Pharisees had discovered that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John,
2 (men Jésus Li menm pa t ap batize, men disip Li yo t ap fè l),
(although it wasn't Jesus who was baptizing, but his disciples),
3 li te kite Judée epi te pati ankò pou Galilée.
he left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4 Konsa, Li te oblije pase nan Samarie.
On the way he had to pass through Samaria.
5 Li te vini nan yon vil Samarie yo rele Sychar, toupre moso tè ke Jacob te bay a Joseph, fis li.
So he came to the Samaritan city of Sychar, near to the field that Jacob had given his son Joseph.
6 Pwi a Jacob la te la. Jésus, akoz Li te byen fatige pa vwayaj la, te chita akote pwi a. Se te anviwon sizyèm lè.
Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, who was tired from the journey, sat straight down beside the well. It was around noon.
7 Yon fanm Samariten te vini pou tire dlo nan pwi a. Jésus te di l: “Ban M bwè”.
A Samaritan woman came to fetch water. Jesus said to her, “Please could you give me a drink?”
8 Paske disip li yo te ale nan vil la pou achte manje.
for his disciples had gone to the town to buy food.
9 Konsa, fanm Samariten nan te reponn Li: “Kòman Ou menm, ki se yon Jwif mande M pou bwè lè mwen menm se yon fanm Samariten?” (Paske Jwif yo pa gen bon relasyon avèk Samariten yo.)
“You're a Jew, and I'm a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” the woman replied, for Jews don't associate with Samaritans.
10 Jésus te reponn e te di l: “Si ou te konnen don Bondye a, epi ki moun ki di ou ‘Ban M bwè a’, ou t ap mande L, e Li t ap bay ou dlo vivan an.”
Jesus answered her, “If you only recognized God's gift, and who is asking you, ‘Please could you give me a drink?’ you would have asked him and he would have given you the water of life.”
11 Li te di L: “Mesye, ou pa gen anyen pou rale l, epi pwi a fon. Ki kote konsa W ap twouve dlo vivan sila a?
“Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get the water of life from?” she replied.
12 Èske Ou kapab pi gran pase papa zansèt nou yo Jacob, ki te bay nou pwi a, ki te bwè ladann li menm, avèk pitit li, ak bèt li yo?”
“Our father Jacob gave us the well. He drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock. Are you greater than he?”
13 Jésus te reponn e te di li: “Tout moun ki bwè dlo sila a ap swaf ankò:
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks water from this well will become thirsty again.
15 Fanm nan te di Li: “Mesye, ban m dlo sa a pou m pa swaf, ni pou m pa oblije vin jis isit la pou tire l.”
“Sir,” replied the woman, “Please give me this water so I won't be thirsty, and I won't have to come here to fetch water!”
16 Li te di li: “Ale rele Mari ou, epi vin isit la.”
“Go and call your husband, and come back here,” Jesus told her.
17 Fanm nan te reponn Li e te di: “Mwen pa gen mari.” Jésus te di li: “Ou pale byen: ‘Mwen pa gen mari.’
“I don't have a husband,” the woman answered. “You're right in saying you don't have a husband,” Jesus told her.
18 Paske ou te genyen senk mari, epi sila a ke ou gen koulye a se pa mari ou. Ou pale verite.”
“You've had five husbands, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. So what you say is true!”
19 Fanm nan te reponn Li: “Mesye mwen konsidere ke Ou menm se yon pwofèt.
“I can see you're a prophet, sir,” the woman replied.
20 Papa zansèt nou yo te adore nan mòn sila a, men ou di ke se nan Jérusalem pou nou adore.”
“Tell me this: our ancestors worshiped here on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is where we must worship.”
21 Jésus te di li: “Fanm, kwè M, yon lè ap vini lè se pa ni nan mòn sa a, ni nan Jérusalem ke ou va adore Papa a.
Jesus replied, “Believe me the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 Ou adore sa ke ou pa konnen, men nou adore sa ke nou konnen, paske sali a sòti nan Jwif yo.
You really don't know the God you're worshiping, while we worship the God we know, for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 “Men lè ap vini, e gen tan rive koulye a, lè vrè adoratè yo, va adore Papa a an espri, e anverite. Pwiske se moun konsa ke Papa a ap chache pou adore L.
But the time is coming—and in fact it's here already—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for these are the kind of worshipers the Father wants.
24 Bondye se lespri, e fòk sa yo ki adore Li, adore L an espri e anverite.”
God is Spirit, so worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
25 Fanm nan te di L: “Mwen konnen ke Mesye, (sila a ke yo rele Kris la) gen pou vini. Lè L vini, L ap deklare nou tout bagay.”
The woman said, “Well, I know that the Messiah is coming,” (the one who is called Christ). “When he comes he will explain it all to us.”
26 Jésus te di li: “Mwen Menm k ap pale avèk ou a se Li.”
Jesus replied, “I AM—the one who is speaking to you.”
27 Nan moman sa a, disip Li yo te vini. Yo te etone ke Li t ap pale avèk yon fanm, men pèsòn pa t mande l: “Kisa w ap chache” ni “Poukisa w ap pale avè L.”
Just then the disciples returned. They were shocked that he was talking to a woman, but none of them asked “What are you doing?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Konsa fanm nan te kite po dlo a e te antre nan vil la. Konsa, li te di a tout moun:
The woman left her water jar behind and ran back to the town, telling the people,
29 “Vin wè yon nonm ki te di mwen tout bagay ke mwen fè. Nou pa sipoze ke se Li menm ki Kris la?”
“Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”
30 Yo te kite lavil la e t ap vin kote l.
So they went out of the town to go and see him.
31 Antre tan, disip yo t ap di L: “Rabbi, manje.”
Meanwhile Jesus' disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, please eat something!”
32 Men Li te di yo: “Mwen gen manje ke nou pa konnen.”
But Jesus replied, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33 Pou sa disip yo t ap di a youn lòt: “Èske ou kwè ke moun pote bay Li kèk bagay pou L manje?”
“Did someone bring him food?” the disciples asked one another.
34 Jésus te di yo: “Manje M se pou fè volonte a Papa M ki voye Mwen an, e pou acheve travay Li a.
Jesus told them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 “Èske nou pa konn di: ‘Genyen toujou kat mwa, epi rekòlt la ap vini?’ Gade, Mwen di nou leve zye nou epi gade chan yo. Yo blan avèk rekòlt la.
Don't you have a saying, ‘four more months until harvest?’ Open your eyes and look around! The crops in the fields are ripe, ready for harvest.
36 “Deja sila a ki fè rekòlt la ap resevwa salè li, e l ap ranmase fwi pou lavi etènèl. Pou sila ki simen an, ak sila ki rekòlte a kapab rejwi ansanm. (aiōnios g166)
The reaper is being paid and harvesting a crop for eternal life so that both the sower and the reaper can celebrate. (aiōnios g166)
37 Paske nan sila a, pwovèb la vrè: ‘Youn ap simen epi yon lòt ap rekòlte.’
So the proverb ‘one sows, another reaps,’ is true.
38 “Mwen te voye nou pou rekòlte kote nou pa t simen. Se lòt ki te travay, epi nou te antre nan travay yo.”
I sent you to reap what you didn't work for. Others did the hard work and you have reaped the benefits of what they did.”
39 Anpil nan Samariten ki sòti nan vil sa a te kwè nan Li, akoz pawòl yo ke fanm nan te bay kon temwayaj “Li te di mwen tout bagay ke mwen fè”.
Many Samaritans from that town trusted in him because of what the woman said: “He told me everything I ever did.”
40 Lè Samariten yo te vin kote L, yo t ap mande Li pou rete avèk yo. Li te rete la pou de jou.
So when they came to see him they pleaded with him to stay with them. He stayed for two days,
41 Anpil anplis te kwè nan Li akoz pawòl Li.
and because of what he told them many more trusted in him.
42 Yo t ap di a fanm nan: “Se pa ankò akoz sa ou te di yo ke nou kwè. Nou te tande pou kont nou e konnen ke Sila a se Sovè a mond lan.”
They said to the woman, “Now our trust in him isn't just because of what you told us but because we have heard him for ourselves. We're convinced that he really is the Savior of the world.”
43 Apre de jou Li te kite la, pou ale nan Galilée.
After the two days he continued on to Galilee.
44 Paske Jésus Li menm te bay temwayaj ke yon pwofèt pa gen lonè nan pwòp peyi li.
Jesus himself had made the comment that a prophet is not respected in his own country.
45 Konsa, lè Li rive nan Galilée, Galileyen yo te resevwa Li, paske yo te wè tout bagay ke Li te fè nan Jérusalem pandan fèt la, pwiske yo tout te ale nan fèt la.
But when he arrived in Galilee, the people welcomed him, because they had also been at the Passover feast and had seen everything he'd done in Jerusalem.
46 Li te vini ankò nan vil Cana nan Galilée, kote Li te fè dlo tounen diven an. Te genyen yon ofisye wayal la, epi fis li te malad nan Capernaüm.
He visited Cana in Galilee again, where he had turned water into wine. Nearby in the town of Capernaum lived a royal official whose son was very sick.
47 Lè Li te tande ke Jésus te sòti Judée pou L antre nan Galilée, li te ale kote L e te mande L pou desann avèk li pou geri fis li a, paske li te prèt pou mouri.
When he heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and begged him to come and heal his son who was close to death.
48 Pou sa, Jésus te di li: “Anmwenske nou wè sign ak mirak, nou p ap menm kwè.”
“Unless you see signs and wonders you people really won't trust me,” said Jesus.
49 Ofisye wayal la te di Li: “Mesye, vini avan pitit mwen an mouri.”
“Lord, just come before my child dies,” the official pleaded.
50 Jésus te di li: “Ou mèt ale. Pitit ou ap viv.” Mesye a te kwè Jésus epi te sòti.
“Go on home,” Jesus told him. “Your son will live!” The man trusted what Jesus told him and left for home.
51 Pandan li t ap desann, esklav li yo te rankontre li pou di li ke pitit la te vivan.
While he was on his way, his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and recovering.
52 Li te mande yo kilè pitit la te kòmanse refè, e yo te di li: “Ayè sou setyèm lè lafyèv la te kite li.”
He asked them what time it was when his son began to get better. “Yesterday at one p.m. the fever left him,” they told him.
53 Konsa papa li te konnen ke se te nan menm lè sa ke Jésus te di li: “Pitit ou a ap viv.” E li menm te kwè, epi tout lakay li ansanm avèk li.
Then the father realized this was the precise time when Jesus had told him, “Your son will live!” So he and everyone in his household trusted in Jesus.
54 Sa se te ankò dezyèm sign ke Jésus te fè lè Li te kite Judée pou L antre nan Galilée.
This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
