Jan 4
1 Pou sa, lè Senyè a te konnen Farizyen yo te tande Jésus t ap batize plis disip pase Jean
Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (men Jésus Li menm pa t ap batize, men disip Li yo t ap fè l),
(Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),
3 li te kite Judée epi te pati ankò pou Galilée.
he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.
4 Konsa, Li te oblije pase nan Samarie.
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.
and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to 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 Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about midday.
7 Yon fanm Samariten te vini pou tire dlo nan pwi a. Jésus te di l: “Ban M bwè”.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her – “Give me some to drink,”
8 Paske disip li yo te ale nan vil la pou achte manje.
For his disciples had gone into 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.)
“How is it,” replied the Samaritan woman, “that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?” (For Jews do not 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.”
“If you knew of the gift of God,” replied Jesus, “and who it is that is saying to you ‘Give me some water,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
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?
“You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep,” she said. “Where did you get that ‘living water?’
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?”
Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!”
13 Jésus te reponn e te di li: “Tout moun ki bwè dlo sila a ap swaf ankò:
“All who drink of this water,” replied Jesus, “will be 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.”
“Give me this water, Sir,” said the woman, “so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water.”
16 Li te di li: “Ale rele Mari ou, epi vin isit la.”
“Go and call your husband,” said Jesus, “and then come back.”
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 have no husband,” answered the woman. “You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’” replied Jesus,
18 Paske ou te genyen senk mari, epi sila a ke ou gen koulye a se pa mari ou. Ou pale verite.”
“For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.”
19 Fanm nan te reponn Li: “Mesye mwen konsidere ke Ou menm se yon pwofèt.
“I see, Sir, that you are a prophet!” exclaimed the woman.
20 Papa zansèt nou yo te adore nan mòn sila a, men ou di ke se nan Jérusalem pou nou adore.”
“It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshiped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.”
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.
“Believe me,” replied Jesus, “a time is coming when it will be neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you will worship the Father.
22 Ou adore sa ke ou pa konnen, men nou adore sa ke nou konnen, paske sali a sòti nan Jwif yo.
You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, 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 a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father spiritually and truly; for such are the worshipers that the Father desires.
24 Bondye se lespri, e fòk sa yo ki adore Li, adore L an espri e anverite.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly.”
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.”
“I know,” answered the woman, “that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything.”
26 Jésus te di li: “Mwen Menm k ap pale avèk ou a se Li.”
“I am he,” Jesus said to her, “I who am 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.”
At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked ‘What do you want?’ 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:
So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to 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 see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?”
30 Yo te kite lavil la e t ap vin kote l.
And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.
31 Antre tan, disip yo t ap di L: “Rabbi, manje.”
Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him, “Take something to eat, Rabbi.”
32 Men Li te di yo: “Mwen gen manje ke nou pa konnen.”
“I have food to eat,” he answered, “of which you know nothing.”
33 Pou sa disip yo t ap di a youn lòt: “Èske ou kwè ke moun pote bay Li kèk bagay pou L manje?”
“Can anyone have brought him anything to eat?” the disciples said to 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.
“My food,” replied Jesus, “is to do the will of him 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 say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are 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)
Already the reaper is receiving wages and gathering in sheaves for eternal life, so that sower and reaper rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Paske nan sila a, pwovèb la vrè: ‘Youn ap simen epi yon lòt ap rekòlte.’
For here the proverb holds good – ‘One sows, another reaps.’
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 have sent you to reap that on which you have spent no labor; others have labored, and you have reaped the results of their labor.”
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 from that town came to believe in Jesus – Samaritans though they were – because the woman had said, ‘He has told me everything that I have done.’
40 Lè Samariten yo te vin kote L, yo t ap mande Li pou rete avèk yo. Li te rete la pou de jou.
And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
41 Anpil anplis te kwè nan Li akoz pawòl Li.
But far more came to believe in him because of what he said himself,
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.”
and they said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you say that we believe in him, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he really is the Savior of the world.”
43 Apre de jou Li te kite la, pou ale nan Galilée.
After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;
44 Paske Jésus Li menm te bay temwayaj ke yon pwofèt pa gen lonè nan pwòp peyi li.
for he himself declared that ‘a prophet is not honored 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.
When he entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the Festival, at which they also had been present.
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.
So Jesus came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was one of the king’s officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.
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 this man heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Pou sa, Jésus te di li: “Anmwenske nou wè sign ak mirak, nou p ap menm kwè.”
Jesus answered, “Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 Ofisye wayal la te di Li: “Mesye, vini avan pitit mwen an mouri.”
“Sir,” said the officer, “come down before my child dies.” And Jesus answered, “Go, your son is living.”
50 Jésus te di li: “Ou mèt ale. Pitit ou ap viv.” Mesye a te kwè Jésus epi te sòti.
The man believed what Jesus said to him, and went;
51 Pandan li t ap desann, esklav li yo te rankontre li pou di li ke pitit la te vivan.
and, while he was on his way down, his servants met him, and told him that his child was living.
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.”
So he asked them at what time the boy began to get better. “It was yesterday, about one o’clock,” they said, “that the fever left 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.
By this the father knew that it was at the very time when Jesus had said to him ‘Your son is living’; and he himself, with all his household, believed 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 occasion on which Jesus gave a sign of his mission on coming from Judea to Galilee.
