Yoana 4
1 Mbe Yesu aliga amenyele ati Abhafarisayo bhonguwe ati Yesu aliga neigisha no kubhatija kukila Yohana,
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 (Nawe Yesu omwene aliga atakubhatija nawe abheigisibhwa bhaye)
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Asokele Judea na nagenda Galilaya.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Kutyo yaliga bhusibhuai okolabha Samaria.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Nakinga ku musi gwa Samaria, gunu ogutogwa, Sikari, ayei na libhala linu Yakobo ayanile omwana waye Yusufu.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Ne chinywo cha Yakobo chaliga ao. Yesu aliga ayigilwe kwo kubha aliga no ligendo na neanja kuchinyo gwaliga mwanya gwa mumwisi.
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 Omugasi omusamalia naja okutaya amanji na Yesu na mwibwila ati,”Naneko amanji ninywe.”
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Kwo kubha abeigisibwa bhae bhajie jebwe mu musi okugula ebhilo
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Oyo omugasi namubwila ati,”Ejibhakutiki awe Omuyaudi okusabwa anye omugasi Msamaria, echinu cho kunywa?” Kwo kubha Abhayaudi bhatakusasikana na Abhasamalia.
"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 Yesu namusubya ati,”Alabha umenyele echiyanwa cha Nyamuanga, na unu kakwibwila ati 'Nana amanji, 'wakamusabwilwe akakuyaye amanji go bhuanga.”
"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 Omugasi nasubya ati, “Lata bhugenyi utali na indobho yokuataila amanji ne chinyo ni chilela. Ugabhona aki amanji go bhuanga?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Mbe awe ni mkulu, okukila Lata weswe Yakobo, unu achiyanile echinyo chinu, no mwene na bhana bhaye amwi na myandu jaye nibanywa amanji ge chinyo chinu?”
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 Yesu nasubya, “wonawana oyo kanywa amanji ganu kabhona obhulilo lindi,
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Omugasi uliya namubwila ati, “Lata bhugenyi enisabwa amanji ago koleleki nitabhona obhulilo, nanitanyaka okuja anu okutaya amanji.”
"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 Yesu na mubwila ati, “Genda umubhilikile omulume wao, mbe usubhe.”
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Omugasi namubwila ati, “Nitali na mulume.” Yesu nasubya ati, “Waika kisi, 'Nitali na mulume;'
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Kwo kubha weyishe abhalume bhatanu, oumwi unu ulinage olyanu atali mulume wao ku linu waika echimali!”
"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 Omugasi namubwila ati, “Lata bhugenyi anilola ati awe uli mulagi.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Bhasaja bheswe bhalamyaga kuchima chinu. Nawe emwe omwaika ati Yerusalemu niyo eyo abhanu bheile okulamya.”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Yesu namusubya ati, “Omugasi, nyikilisha, omwanya oguja gunu bhatalilamisha Lata kuchima chinu Cha Yerusalemu.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Emwe abhanu omulamya chinu mtakumenya, nawe eswe echilamya chinu echimenya, kokubha omwilulo ogusoka mu Bhayaudi.”
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Nolwo kutyo, omwanya oguja, naoli gulio anu omwanya abhanu bhalilamya echimali, bhalilamya Lata mu mwoyo ne chimali, kwokubha Lata kabhayenja abhanu koleleki abahu bhaye abho abhamulamya.
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 Nyaamunga ni mwoyo na bhaliya abho abhamulamya bheile okumulamya mu mwoyo gwe chimali.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Omugasi namubwila ati, “Enimenya kubha Masiya kaja, (katogwa Kristo). Oyo alibhaja alichibwila jone.”
"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 Yesu namubwila ati, “Anye oyo owaika nage niwe.”
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Omwanya ogwo ogwo abheisigibwa bhaye nibhasubha. Nabho nibhatang'alang'ala ni kulwaki aliga naloma no mugasi, nawe atalio unu alegejele okubhusya, “Oyenjaki?” amwi “Ni kulwaki owaika nage?”
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 Kutyo omugasi nasiga isua yaye nagenda mu musi na bhabwila abhanu,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Muje mulole omunu unu ambwila emisango Jani jone jinu nakolele, mbe atakwitasha akabha Kristo?”
"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 Nibhasoka mu music nibhaja kumwene.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Omwanya gwa mu musi abheigisibwa bhaye nibhamumbeleja nibhaika ati, “Lata nulye ebhilyo.
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 “Nawe omwene na bhabwila ati, “Anye ninacho echokulya chinu mutakumenya emwe.”
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Abheigisibhwa nibhaikana atalio unu amuletela chinu chonachona cho kulya, “Mbe bhaletele?”
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Ebhilyo byani Ni kukola obwenji bhaye omwene unu atumile no kumalisha omulimu gwaye.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Mbe, mutakwaika, gasigayeyo mesi gatano naligesa libhe lyeile?' Enibhabwila ati mulole amasambu kutyo geile kwo kugeswa!
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 Oyo kagesa kalamila emiyelo no kukumanya amatwasho kulwo bhuanga bwa kajanende, koleleki kubha unu kabhibha unu kagegesa abhakondelelwa amwi. (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 Kwo kubha omisango gunu ni gwe chimali, Oumwi kabhibha no undi nagesa.'
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 Nabhatumile okugesa chinu mutanyakiliye, Abhandi bhakolele emilimu nemwe mwengila mwikondelelwa lye milimu jebwe.”
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 Abhasamaliya bhafu mu musi guliya nibhamwikilisha kwo kubha bhabhamenyesha eja uliya omugasi oyo aliga nabhambala, “Oyo namubwila ati emisango jona ejonakolele.”
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 Kutyo Abhasamalia bhejile bhaja nibhamumbeleja eyanje amwi nabho kwebwe kwa siku ebhili.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Na bhafu muno nibhamwikilisha kwo kubha emisango jaye.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Nibhamubwila uliya omugasi, “Echikilisha atali kwe misango jao, kwo kubha eswe bhenyele chonguwe, na woli echimenya kubha omwene ni mukisha we chalo.”
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 Jejile jisiku jinu ebwili, nasoka nagenda Galilaya.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Kwo kubha omwene aliga aikile kubha mulagi atana chibhalo kusi yae omwene.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Ejile aja okusoka Galilaya, Abhagalilaya nibhamubwila nibhamukuma. Bhaliga bhalolele emisango jona ejonakolele akolele Yerusalemu ku malya, kwo kubha abhene ona bhaliga bhejile ku malya.
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 Ejile lindi Kana ya Galilaya eyo againduye amanji kubha divai. Aligaalio musibha unu omwana waye aliga mulwaye ewo Kaprnaumu.
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 Ejile ongwa ati Yesu asokele Judea na genda Galilaya, nageda ku Yesu namulembeleja atebhele amwiulishe omwana waye, unu aliga ayei okufwa.
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 Niwo Yesu namubwila ati, “Emwe mukalema okulola ebhibhalikisho need bhilugulo mutakutula okwilisha.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Omutangasha naika ati,” Lata bhugenyi utebhele emwalo kuchali omwana wani okufwa.”
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Yesu namubwila ati,” Genda omwana wao ni muanga.” Uliya omunu nikilisha omusango ogwo aikile Yesu na genda jaye.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Anu aliga achatebhela, abhakosi bhae nibhamulamila nibhamubwila ati omwana waye aliga muanga.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Kutyo nibhamubwila ni mwanyaki amaolelamo. Nibhasubya ati, “Ligolo omwanya uti saa ya katanu na kabhili libhili ndi musokako.”
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Niwo esemwene wae namenya kutyo ni mwanya ogwo ogwo Yesu amubwiliye ati.” omwana wao ni muanga.” kutyo omwene na bhamumusi gwae nibhekilisha.
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 Chinu chaliga chibhalikisho cha kabhili echoakolele Yesu kusoka Yudea okugenda Galilaya.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
