János 4
1 Amint azért megtudta Jézus, hogy a farizeusok meghallották, hogy ő több tanítványt szerez és keresztel, mint János –
[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 jóllehet Jézus maga nem keresztelt, hanem a tanítványai –,
3 elhagyta Júdeát, és elment ismét Galileába.
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 Samárián kellett pedig átmennie.
[He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
5 Elment tehát Samáriának Sikár nevű városába, annak a teleknek szomszédjába, amelyet Jákób adott fiának, Józsefnek.
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 Ott volt pedig Jákób forrása. Jézus, az utazástól elfáradva, azonnal leült a forráshoz. Mintegy hat óra volt.
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 Odajött egy samáriai asszony vizet meríteni, és Jézus ezt mondta neki: „Adj innom!“
8 A tanítványai ugyanis elmentek a városba, hogy ennivalót vegyenek.
9 A samáriai asszony pedig ezt mondta neki: „Hogyan kérhetsz inni zsidó létedre tőlem, aki samáriai asszony vagyok?!“Mert a zsidók nem barátkoznak a samáriaiakkal.
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 Jézus így felelt neki: „Ha ismernéd az Isten ajándékát, és hogy ki az, aki ezt mondja neked: Adj innom!, te kérted volna őt, és adott volna neked élő vizet.“
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 Mondta neki az asszony: „Uram, nincs mivel merítened, és a kút mély: honnan vennéd tehát az élő vizet?
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 Talán nagyobb vagy te a mi atyánknál, Jákobnál, aki nekünk adta ezt a kutat, és ebből ivott ő is, a fiai is és jószágai is?“
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 Jézus így felelt neki: „Mindenki, aki ebből a vízből iszik, ismét megszomjazik,
Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
15 Mondta neki az asszony: „Uram, add nekem azt a vizet, hogy meg ne szomjazzam, és ne jöjjek ide meríteni!“
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 Mondta neki Jézus: „Menj el, hívd a férjedet, és jöjj ide!“
[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 Az asszony így felelt: „Nincs férjem.“Jézus ezt mondta nekik: „Jól mondod, hogy nincs férjed,
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 mert öt férjed volt, és a mostani nem férjed: ezt igazán mondtad.“
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 Mondta neki az asszony: „Uram, látom, hogy te próféta vagy.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
20 A mi atyáink ezen a hegyen imádkoztak, és ti azt mondjátok, hogy Jeruzsálemben van az a hely, ahol imádkozni kell.“
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 Mondta neki Jézus: „Asszony, hidd el nekem, hogy eljön az óra, amikor sem ezen a hegyen, sem Jeruzsálemben imádjátok az Atyát.
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 Ti azt imádjátok, amit nem ismertek, mi azt imádjuk, amit ismerünk: mert az üdvösség a zsidók közül támadt.
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 De eljön az óra, és az most van, amikor az igazi imádók lélekben és igazságban imádják az Atyát: mert az Atya is ilyen imádókat keres magának.
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 Az Isten Lélek: és akik őt imádják, szükséges, hogy lélekben és igazságban imádják.“
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 Mondta neki az asszony: „Tudom, hogy Messiás jön, akit Krisztusnak mondanak, és amikor eljön, megjelent nekünk mindent.“
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 Mondta neki Jézus: „Én vagyok az, aki veled beszélek.“
Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
27 Eközben megjöttek a tanítványai, és csodálkoztak, hogy asszonnyal beszélt, de egyik sem mondta: „Mit keresel, vagy mit beszélsz vele?“
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 Az asszony pedig otthagyta a vedrét, és elment a városba, és ezt mondta az embereknek:
The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
29 „Gyertek, lássatok egy embert, aki megmondott nekem mindent, amit cselekedtem. Nem ez-e a Krisztus?“
“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 Kimentek tehát a városból, és odamentek hozzá.
So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
31 Eközben pedig kérték őt a tanítványok, ezt mondva: „Mester, egyél!“
Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
32 Ő pedig mondta nekik: „Van nekem eledelem, amit egyek, amiről ti nem tudtok.“
But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
33 A tanítványok ezt mondták egymásnak: „Hozott neki valaki enni?“
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 Jézus ezt mondta nekik: „Az én eledelem az, hogy annak akaratát cselekedjem, aki elküldött engem, és az ő munkáját bevégezzem.
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 Ti nem azt mondjátok-e, hogy még négy hónap, és eljön az aratás? Íme, mondom néktek: Emeljétek fel szemeiteket, és nézzétek meg a tájakat, már fehérek az aratásra.
[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 Aki arat, jutalmat nyer, és az örök életre gyümölcsöt gyűjt, hogy mind a vető, mind az arató együtt örvendezzen. (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 Mert ebben az a mondás igaz, hogy más a vető, más az arató.
As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
38 Én annak az aratására küldtelek titeket, amit nem ti munkáltatok, mások munkálták, és ti a mások munkájába álltatok.“
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 Abból a városból pedig sokan hittek benne a samáriaiak közül annak az asszonynak beszédéért, aki bizonyságot tett: „Mindent megmondott nekem, amit cselekedtem.“
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 Amint azért odamentek hozzá a samáriaiak, kérték őt, hogy maradjon náluk, és ott maradt két napig.
So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
41 Még sokkal többen hittek az ő beszédéért,
Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
42 és azt mondták az asszonynak: „Nem a te beszédedért hiszünk immár, hanem magunk hallottuk, és tudjuk, hogy bizonnyal ő a világ üdvözítője, a Krisztus.“
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 Két nap múlva pedig kiment onnan, és elment Galileába.
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 Mert Jézus maga tett bizonyságot arról, hogy a prófétának nincs tisztessége a maga hazájában.
45 Mikor azért bement Galileába, befogadták őt a galileabeliek, mert látták mindazt, amit Jeruzsálemben cselekedett az ünnepen, mert ők is elmentek az ünnepre.
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 Ismét a galileai Kánába ment Jézus, ahol a vizet borrá változtatta. És volt Kapernaumban egy királyi ember, akinek a fia beteg volt.
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 Mikor meghallotta, hogy Jézus Júdeából Galileába érkezett, odament hozzá, és arra kérte, hogy menjen el, és gyógyítsa meg az ő fiát, mert halálán volt.
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 Jézus ez mondta neki: „Ha jeleket és csodákat nem láttok, nem hisztek.“
Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
49 A királyi ember ezt mondta neki: „Uram, jöjj, mielőtt a gyermekem meghal.“
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 Jézus ezt mondta neki: „Menj el, a te fiad él.“És hitt az ember a szónak, amit Jézus mondott neki, és elment.
Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
51 Amint pedig már ment, elébe jöttek az ő szolgái, és hírt hoztak, mondván: „A te fiad él.“
[The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
52 Megtudakozta azért tőlük az órát, amelyben jobban lett, és mondták neki: „Tegnap hét órakor hagyta el őt a láz.“
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 Megértette ekkor az atya, hogy abban az órában, amelyben azt mondta neki Jézus: „A te fiad él.“És hitt ő, és az ő egész háza népe.
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 Ezt pedig második jel gyanánt tette Jézus, mikor Júdeából Galileába ment.
That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
