Jọn 4
1 Ugbu a, Jisọs matara na ndị Farisii anụla na ọ na-eme ka ọtụtụ mmadụ bụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na-emekwa baptizim karịa Jọn.
Therefore when the Lord knew, the pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 Ma ọ bụkwaghị Jisọs na onwe ya na-eme baptizim kama ọ bụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya mere ha baptizim.
(though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but his disciples, )
3 Ọ hapụrụ Judịa laghachi azụ na Galili.
He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Ma ọ ga-esite nʼetiti Sameria gafee.
And as He must pass through the country of Samaria, He came to a Samaritan city called Sichar,
5 Ya mere, ọ batara nʼotu obodo nta dị na Sameria a na-akpọ Saika, nʼakụkụ ala ahụ Jekọb nyere Josef nwa ya nwoke.
near the piece of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Olulu mmiri Jekọb dị nʼebe ahụ, ma ebe ọ bụ na ike gwụrụ Jisọs nʼije ya, ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼakụkụ olulu mmiri ahụ. Ọ bụ ihe dị ka oge ehihie.
And Jacob's well was there. Now Jesus was tired with his journey, and sat down at the well: and it was about the sixth hour of the day,
7 Otu nwanyị onye Sameria bịara ịdọrọ mmiri, Jisọs sịrị ya, “Nyetụ m mmiri ka m ṅụọ.”
when a woman of Samaria coming to draw water, Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya abaala nʼime obodo ịga zụta nri.)
(For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy food.)
9 Nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Olee otu gị bụ onye Juu si arịọ m bụ nwanyị Sameria mmiri ka ị ṅụọ?” (Nʼihi na ndị Juu na ndị Sameria anaghị emekọrịta ihe ọbụla.)
But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.
10 Jisọs zara sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị matara onyinye Chineke, na onye ahụ na-arịọ gị mmiri, ị gaara arịọ ya, ọ gakwara enye gị mmiri nke ndụ.”
Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water.
11 Nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Nna anyị ukwu, o nweghị ihe ọbụla i ji ị ga-eji dọrọ mmiri, olulu a dịkwa omimi. Oleekwanụ ebe ị ga-eweta mmiri ndụ a.
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?
12 Ọ bụ na ị ka nna nna anyị Jekọb ukwuu, onye gwuuru anyị olulu mmiri a? Ya onwe ya na ụmụ ya na igwe ehi na atụrụ ya ṅụkwara mmiri sitere na ya?”
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jisọs zara sị, “Onye ọbụla ṅụrụ mmiri a, akpịrị ga-akpọ ya nkụ ọzọ.
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst again;
15 Mgbe ahụ nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị nye m mmiri a, ka akpịrị ghara ịkpọ m nkụ ọzọ, ka m gharakwa ịdị na-abịa ebe a ịdọrọ mmiri.”
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Ọ gwara ya sị, “Gaa kpọta di gị ma lọghachi.”
Jesus saith unto her, Go call thine husband, and come hither.
17 Nwanyị ahụ zaghachiri ya sị, “Enweghị m dị.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “I kwuru eziokwu mgbe ị sịrị na i nweghị di.
The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou hast said right, I have no husband:
18 I nweela di ise, ma nwoke gị na ya bi ugbu a abụghị di gị. Ihe kwuru bụ nnọọ eziokwu.”
for thou hast had five husbands; and he, whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: this thou hast said true.
19 Nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya “Nna anyị ukwu, ahụrụ m na ị bụ onye amụma.
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Nna nna anyị ha fere ofufe nʼugwu a, ma unu na-ekwu nʼebe ndị mmadụ ga-eferịrị ofufe bụ naanị na Jerusalem.”
Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Nwanyị kwere okwu m, oge na-abịa mgbe ị na-agaghị akpọ isiala nye Nna, maọbụ nʼugwu a ma ọ bụkwanụ na Jerusalem.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the time is coming, when ye shall worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Unu na-efe ihe unu na-amaghị ma anyị na-efe ihe anyị matara, nʼihi na nzọpụta sitere nʼaka ndị Juu.
Ye worship ye know not what; but we worship what we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Ma oge na-abịa, ugbu a ọ bịala, mgbe ndị na-efe Nna ahụ nʼeziokwu ga-efe ya nʼime mmụọ na nʼeziokwu. Nʼihi na ọ bụ ndị dị otu a ka Nna chọrọ ka ha na-efe ya.
But the time is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father requireth such worshippers of Him.
24 Chineke bụ mmụọ ndị niile na-efe ya ga-eferịrị ya nʼime mmụọ na eziokwu.”
God is a spirit, and they that worship Him, must worship in spirit and truth.
25 Nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Amaara m na Mezaya” (onye a na-akpọ Kraịst) “na-abịa. Mgbe ọ bịara, ọ ga-akọwaziri anyị ihe niile.”
Then saith the woman unto Him, I know that the Messiah, that is to say the Christ, is coming; and when He comes, He will tell us all things.
26 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Mụ, onye na-agwa gị okwu, abụ m ya.”
Jesus saith unto her, I, who am talking to thee, am He.
27 Nʼoge ahụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya lọghachitara. Ọ gbagwojukwara ha anya nke ukwuu ịhụ na ya na nwanyị na-ekwurịta okwu. Ma o nweghị onye nʼime ha jụrụ nwanyị ahụ sị, “Gịnị ka ị chọrọ?” ma ọ bụkwanụ, “Gịnị kpatara gị na ya ji na-ekwurịta okwu?”
And upon this came his disciples and wondered that He talked with the woman: (though none of them said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?)
28 Mgbe ahụ, nwanyị ahụ hapụrụ ite mmiri ya laghachi nʼime obodo ga gwa ndị mmadụ,
therefore the woman left her water-pot, and went away into the city,
29 “Bịanụ lee otu nwoke onye gwara m ihe niile m merela. Ọ ga-abụ na ọ bụ ya bụ Kraịst ahụ?”
and saith to the people, Come, see a man who hath told me all that ever I did; is not this the Christ?
30 Ha sitere nʼobodo ahụ gbapụtasịa soro ụzọ ahụ, ka ha gakwuru ya.
They therefore went out of the city, and came to Him.
31 Ma otu ọ dị, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya rịọrọ ya sị, “Onye ozizi rienụ nri.”
In the mean time his disciples addressed Him, saying, Master, eat.
32 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Enwere m nri m na-eri nke unu na-amaghị maka ya.”
But He said unto them, I have food to eat, which ye know not of.
33 Mgbe ahụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sịrịtara onwe ha, “Ọ ga-abụ na o nwere onye butere ya nri?”
Therefore the disciples said one to another, Hath any one brought Him aught to eat?
34 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nri m bụ ime uche onye ahụ zitere m nakwa ịrụcha ọrụ ya.
Jesus saith unto them, My food is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Unu na-asị, ‘ọ fọdụghị ọnwa anọ ka ịghọ mkpụrụ nʼubi ruo?’ Ma ana m agwa unu, megheenụ anya unu lee ubi ahụ, ha achaala maka ọghụghọ.
Do not ye say, it is yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, lift up your eyes, and see the fields, they are already white for harvest.
36 Ọ bụladị ugbu a, onye na-aghọ mkpụrụ na-anata ụgwọ ọrụ, ọ na-achịkọta mkpụrụ ahụ maka ndụ ebighị ebi, ka onye ghara mkpụrụ na onye ghọrọ ya nwee ike ịṅụrịkọta ọṅụ. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth the fruit together unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together; (aiōnios g166)
37 Ya mere okwu ahụ nke na-asị, ‘Otu onye na-agha mkpụrụ, onye ọzọ na-aghọkwa ya bụ eziokwu.’
for herein the saying is verified, that one soweth, and another reapeth,
38 E zigara m unu ka unu gaa ghọta ihe unu na-arụghị ọrụ maka ya. Ndị ọzọ rụrụ ọrụ a, ma unu ewe uru dị nʼọrụ ha.”
in as much as I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labors.
39 Ọtụtụ ndị obodo Sameria kweere na ya nʼihi ama ahụ nwanyị ahụ gbara, “Ọ gwara m ihe niile m mere.”
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on Him, because of what the woman said, testifying, He told me all that ever I did.
40 Ya mere mgbe ndị Sameria bịakwutere ya, ha rịọrọ ya ka ọ nọnyetụrụ ha, ọ nọnyekwaara ha ụbọchị abụọ.
Therefore when the Samaritans came to Him, they desired Him to stay with them: and He staid there two days.
41 Ọtụtụ ndị ọzọ kwerekwara na ya nʼihi okwu ya.
And many more believed on account of his own discourse:
42 Ha gwara nwanyị ahụ, “Ihe anyị jiri kwere ugbu a abụghị ihe i kwuru, kama ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị onwe anyị anụla olu ya, matakwa na onye a bụ Onye nzọpụta nke ụwa nʼeziokwu.”
and said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what thou hast spoken; for we ourselves have heard Him, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 Mgbe ụbọchị abụọ ahụ gasịrị, ọ hapụrụ ebe ahụ gawa Galili.
And after two days he departed thence, and went into Cana of Galilee.
44 (Jisọs nʼonwe ya ekwuola na onye amụma anaghị enwe ugwu nʼobodo ya.)
For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.
45 Mgbe ọ bịaruru Galili, ndị Galili nabatara ya ebe ha onwe ha gara mmemme na Jerusalem, ma hụkwa ọtụtụ ọrụ ebube ọ rụrụ nʼoge mmemme ahụ.
And when He was come into Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.
46 Ọzọkwa, ọ bịaruru Kena nke Galili bụ ebe ahụ o mere mmiri ka ọ ghọọ mmanya. E nwekwara otu onye na-arụ ọrụ nʼụlọeze nọ nʼebe ahụ, nke ahụ na-adịghị nwa ya nwoke ike na Kapanọm.
Therefore Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine.
47 Mgbe ọ nụrụ na Jisọs esitela na Judịa bịarute na Galili, o jekwuuru ya rịọ ya ka ọ bịa gwọọ nwa ya, nʼihi na ọ nọ nʼọnụ ọnwụ.
And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum: who, when he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him, and intreated Him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na unu ahụghị ọrụ ebube na ihe ịrịbama, unu agaghị ekwe ma ọlị.”
Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe.
49 Onye a na-arụ ọrụ nʼụlọeze sịrị ya, “Nna m ukwu, biko bịa tupu nwa m a nwụọ.”
The nobleman saith unto Him, Lord, come down before my child die.
50 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Laa, nwa gị nwoke ga-adị ndụ.” Nwoke ahụ kweere nʼihe Jisọs kwuru laa.
Jesus saith unto him, Go, thy son is well. And the man believed what Jesus said unto him, and went his way.
51 Mgbe ọ ka nọ nʼụzọ, ndị ohu ya zutere ya kọọrọ ya na ahụ adịla nwa ya nwoke mma.
And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, Thy son is well.
52 Mgbe ọ jụrụ ha oge nwa ya jiri gbakee, ha sịrị ya, “Oke ahụ ọkụ ahụ kwụsịrị ya ụnyaahụ nʼelekere mbụ nke ehihie.”
He inquired therefore of them the hour in which he grew better: and they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Nwoke ahụ ghọtara na ọ bụ kpomkwem nʼoge awa ahụ Jisọs gwara ya, “Nwa gị nwoke ga-adị ndụ.” Ya mere ya na ezinaụlọ ya niile kwenyere.
So the father knew that it was in that same hour, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son is well. And he and his whole family believed.
54 Nke a bụ ihe ịrịbama nke abụọ Jisọs rụrụ na Galili mgbe o siri Judịa bịa.
This is the second miracle that Jesus wrought, upon coming out of Judea into Galilee.
