< Joni 4 >

1 Hagi Jisasi'a antahiama Farisi vahe'mo'za hu'za Jisasi'a, Jonina agatereno rama'a amage antesaza disaipol nagara zamazeritru huno, mono tina frenezmante hu'za nehazanke antahi'ne.
Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
2 (Anage hazanagi Jisas'a Agra'a mono tina freozmante'ne. Hagi Agri'ma amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za mono tina fre zamante'naze.)
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Judia kaziga atreno Agra mago'ene Galili vu'ne.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Galilima vunakura Sameria mopa kazigati nevaza kantega rugitagino vu'ne.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Anante Sameria mopa kaziga nevuno, ana mopafi mago kuma agi'a Sika nehazare uhanati'ne. Korapara Jekopu'a ana mopa tva'oma'are me'nea mopa, Josefena ami'neane.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Ana kuma tva'onte Jekopuna tinkeri'a me'ne. Hagi Jisasi'a kama e'nea zamo avesra higeno ana tinkerire umanigsa hu'ne. Feru avame zageha higeno anante umani'ne.
Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.
7 Anante mago Sameria a'mo ti afinaku ana tinkerire egeno, Jisasi'a ana a'mofonku huno, Tina afi namio huno hu'ne.
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Na'ankure Agri amage nentaza disaipol nagara rankumategati ne'za mizasenaku zamagra vu'nazageno mani'neno anagea hu'ne.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Anage higeno ana Sameria a'mo Jisasinku huno, Kagra Jiu ne' mani'nananki nahigenka Sameria a' monagura, tina afi namio hunka nantahi'negane? (Na'ankure Jiu vahe'mo'za Sameria vahe'enena tragote'za nomanize.)
"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jisasi'a ana ke nona'a anage huno asami'ne, Anumzamo negamia musezama antahi'nenkasina, iza'o kantahigeno kagriku'ma, tina afi namige'na na'neno nehia ne'ma kagra antahigankeno, Agra asimu eri tina kamisine.
"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
11 Ana a'mo Agriku huno, Ra ne'moke Kagra tima afisana tafena e'ori'nankeno tinkerimo'a zaza huno urami'ne. Hagi Kagra igati ana asimu eri tina afigahane?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Jekopu neragehona Kagra agterenka onaga'a mani'nampi? Na'ankure agra ama tinkeria tamine, agra ana tinkerifinti nenege'za, mofavre naga'amozane afu'zaga'amoza ne'naza tine.
Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"
13 Higeno Jisasi'a ana a'mofo ke nona'a huno asmi'ne, Maka'mo'za ama tima nesanuza ete ru'ene tinkura zamesigahie.
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
14 Hianagi izano Nagrama amisua tima nesuno'a, mago'ene tinkura ave'osigahie. Hianagi Nagrama aminaku nehua timo'a, kampu'i timo hiaza huno agu'afi me'neno, evava nehuno manivava asimu amigahie. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages." (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 Higeno ana a'mo Agriku amanage hu'ne, Ra nemoka, ana tina namigeno, nagrira tinkura nave'osisige'na tima afi'zantera oma'neno, huno hu'ne.
"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."
16 Agra ana akura huno, Vunka, negavena ome ke hunka avrenka amare eno.
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Higeno ana a'mo kenona'a huno asmi'ne, Nagra ve onte'noe higeno, Jisasi'a ana ara anage huno asmi'ne, Kagra vema onte'noe hunkama nehanana tamage hunka nehane,
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 na'ankure kagra kotenka 5fu'a ve eri'nane, hagi menima kagrane mani'nea vea negave'a omani'ne. E'igu kagra tamage hunka nenasmine.
"for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that."
19 Higeno ana a'mo Agrira asmino, Ra nemoke, nagrama negagoana Kagra mago kasnampa ne' mani'nane.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Tagrira tafahe'za ama agonafi monora hunte'naze. Jiu vahe'motma Jerusalemi kumateke monora huntegahaze hutma tamagra nehaze.
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Higeno Jisasi'a amanage huno ana ara asami'ne, Ama a'moka, kema hanua kerera kamentinti huo, mago kna ne-eankino efore'mahina, ama agonafino, Jerusalemi kumatero tamagra Nerfantera monora huontegahaze.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Tamagra ontahi'naza zante monora nehaze, tagra antahi'nona zante monora nehune. Na'ankure vahe'ma zamagu'vazizana Jiu vahe'motafi me'ne.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Hianagi mago kna ne-ea knamo'a hago menina ama fore hu'ne. Nenfama tamage mono hunteku hanamo'za, avamupi tamage avu'avateti monora huntegahaze. E'inahu hu'za mono'ma huntesaza vaheku Nenfa'a nehakre.
But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.
24 Na'ankure Anumzana Agra Avamure, hu'negu mono'ma hunteku hanamo'za, zamagra zamagu'areti avamuzmifi tamage monora huntegahaze.
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Higeno ana a'mo Agrira amanage huno asmi'ne, Nagra antahi'noe Mesaia'a (tazahu ne') egahie, (Kraisi'e hu'zama agima ante'naza nera), ana ne'ma esnuno'a, maka'zana tasmi ama hanigeta antahi'gahune.
"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."
26 Jisasi'a ana ara asmino, Ama nanekema nehua ne'mona ana ne' Mesaia'ne.
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Anage nehakeno Jisasima amage'ma nentaza disaipol nagara anante enehanatiza ana a'ene naneke nehige'za nege'za antri nehu'za hakare antahintahi hu'nazanagi, nazanku nehakre huge, nazanku a'ene kegaga nehie? Hunora mago'mo'a antahi onke'ne.
Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Anante ana a'mo tinkavo'a netreno, rankumatega viazamo vene'ne zaga ome zamasmino,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 Eta eme keho, maka'zama hu'noa zanku'ma huama huno nasmi'nea nera, Kraisi'ema hu'naza ne' e'negahie?
"Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
30 Ome zamasmige'za, rankumara atre'za zamagra atirami'za Agritega e'naze.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Vahe'ma zamarenaku vu'nege'za amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za Jisasina tutu hunte'za, hurami ne'moka (Rabbai), ne'zana no hu'naze.
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Hianagi Jisasi'a zamasmi'no, Nagrama nesua ne'zama me'neana tamagra onke'naze, huno zamasmi'ne.
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Anage hige'za amagema nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za, ke ohumi ahumi nehu'za, zamagra hu'za mago'mo ne'zana eme amigeno ne'neno Agra nehifi?
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Jisasi'a amanage huno zamagrira zamasmi'ne, Nagri ne'zana aza'o hunantege'na e'nomofo avesite eri'zama'a eri vagaresanugu hunantege'na e'noe.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 4'a ika maniteta tamagra hozama hamare kna me'ne huta nosafi? Nagra neramasmuanki keho, kesga hutma hozafina tmua keho, ne'zamo afureno ta'nefa ruherafino hoza hamare kna kofta nehie.
Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.
36 Ana ne'zama hamare'namo'za hago mizazamia knare hu'za eri'naze. Hagi ana raga'ama hamare'nazana manivava mani'zante vahera zamare'za vu'naze, ana nehina aza'o hozama nehankremo'ene, hozama nehamremokea, zanagu'a musena magoka hugaha'e. (aiōnios g166)
The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Na'ankure ama ana nanekea tamage ke me'ne. Mago'mo hoza hankretegeno, rumo hoza nehamare hu'za nehaze.
For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
38 Tamagra zamaza hutma avimzana ose'naza hozafi Nagra huneramantoe, rumo'za amuho hu'za eri'za hankre'naza hozafi, tamagra ne'za hamare'sagu huneramantoe.
I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours."
39 Sameria rankumateti hakare vahe'mo'za Agrite zamentinti hu'naze. Na'ankure ana a'mo'ma huno maka'zama nagra ko'ma hu'noa zana, Agra huama hunante'ne.
Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done."
40 E'inage hige'za, Sameria vahe'mo'za Jisasinte e'za, tagrane manigahane hu'za hanaveti'za antahigageno, Agra tare zagegna zamagrane mani'ne.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Hagi Jisasi'ma zamasmia ke nentahi'za, hakare'a ontahi'naza vahe'mo'zane zamentinti hu'naze.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Zamagra ana ara amanage hu'za asmi'naze, kagrama hana kegukera tamentinti nosune, hagi tagra tagesafinti antahita tamentinti nehune. Agra tamage maka kokankoka vahe'mota tazahu nere.
and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."
43 Tare zage knama maniteno, Jisasi'a ana kumara atreno Galili vu'ne.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Na'ankure Jisasi'a Agra'a huama huno, Kasnampa (profet) vahe agi'a mopa agafa'arera erisaga osugahaze huno hu'ne.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Hagi anante Galilima ehanatige'za, kinafinti zamare'nea knagu nentahiza muse ne'za kreza nenaza knarera (pasova) Jerusalemi vu'ne'za ke'naza vahe'mo'za musena hunte'naze.
When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
46 Ana hazageno Kana Galili kaziga, tinteti waini'ma trohu'nea kumate eteno e'ne. Anante mago kamani eri'za ne'mofo mofavre'mo Kapenium kumate kri erino mase'ne.
So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
47 Jisasi'a Judia atreno Galili kaziga ehanatia kema nentahino'a, kri eri'nea mofavre'mofo nefa'a Agrite viazamo asuragi kefinti, Enka mofavre ni'a eme azeri so'e huo huno nemofo'a fri'kante mase'negeno antahige'ne.
Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Anage higeno Jisasi'a asmino, Avame'zane kaguvaza hanuazana ketetage'za, tamagra tamentintia hugahazo!
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Ana kamani eri'za ne'mo'a Jisasinkura huno, Ramoke mofavreni'a frisanigi ko eramio.
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Higeno Jisasi'a ana nera asmino, Nonkarega vuo, negamofo'a ofrino amne mani'ne. Ana ne'mo tamage Jisasi'a nehie huno amentinti nehuno atreno ete noma'arega vu'ne.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Atreno kantega uneramige'za, kazokzo eri'za vahe'amo'za eme asami'za, negamofona kri'a atrentegeno mani'ne hu'za eme asmi'naze.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Anagema hu'za asmizageno kri'ama atrente'nea knagu zamantahigege'za zamagra asami'za, Okina wan kiloki higeno avufa teve ha'zamo'a atrente'ne.
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Anagema nehazageno nefa'a agesa antahi'ne, Jisasi'a ana knareku huno, Negamofo'a ofri amne mani'ne huno hu'ne, nehuno agrane noma'afi nemaniza naga'ane, maka'moza zamentinti hu'naze.
Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.
54 Jisasi'ma Judia kazigama atreno Galilima emanineno'a, ama'i nampa 2 avame'za eri fore hu'ne.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
