Yohana 4
1 Pakhuva u Yesu avile alomanyile ukhuta Mafalisayo vapulikhe ukhuta u Yesu alena vakongi nukhuvoncha khulikho u 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 (pakhuva Yesu yumwene salekhwoncha ila avakongi vamwene),
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 akhumile khu Yudea akhaluta khu Galilaya.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Evo yale lasima okhugendela khu Samalia.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Pu akhafikha khukhelunga ekhwa Samalia, ekhekhikhelangiwa Siakari, uvuvubadaninie ne khelunga akhyapile u Yakobo oswambe u 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 khekholo khwa Yakobo khwalepo apo. U Yesu agatile nukhugenda pwa khatama palukanji pakhekhulu. Khale khasekhe khapa musi.
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 Udala Osamalia ainchile khunega amagasi, nu Yesu akhanchova, “Ime amagasi nenywe.”
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Pakhuva avakongi vamwene vakhalutile khujini khwigula ekhyakhula.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Udala ola akhambula, “Ndakhekhi uvenjahudi, akhondoma one nedala ne Samalia, akhenu ekhwa khunywa?” Pakhuva Avayahudi savikhekhanjanwa na Vasamalia.
"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 U Yesu akhanda, “Inave akhemanyile ekhikungelwa ekhwa Nguluve, nu munu avikhukhuvola, 'Ime magasi,' ukhalevukhodova, akhale ikhukhupa amagasi aga wumi.”
"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 Udala khanda, “Imbakha ulevovole endovo eyakhunegela, ne khekholo khetali. Vukhugavona ndakhu amagasi aga wumi?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Uveve ve mbakha, khuliko ababa veto o Yakobo, avakhatupile ekhekholo ekhe, yu mwene na vana va mwene voni paninie ni senga incha mwene nchikhanywa amagasi pa khekholo ekhe?”
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 UYesu akhanda, “vevoni uyinywa amagasi aga ipata ekhamu tena,
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Udala ola akhambula, “Imbakha nidove amagasi ago nelekhe okhwumila tena, nelekhe okhotesekha okhwincha apa khwinega amagasi.”
"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 U Yesu akhambula, “Luta khamwilango ogosi, pu vuye.”
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Udala akhambula, “Nelevovole ogosi.” UYesu akhanda, “Onchovile vononu, 'Ulevovole ugosi;'
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Pakhuva uvile na vagosi vakhano tena oveulenave leno sio igosi vakho, pakhuva unchovile lweli!”
"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 Udala akhambula, “Imbakha nivona ukhuta oveve ve nyamalago.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Ava baba veto vaisayile mukhe wamba ekhe. Pakhuva omwe mwinchova mwita Yelusalemu lyo lieneo alwa vanu lwa khwesayela.”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 U Yesu akhanda, “Ovedala, inyedekhe, akhasekhe khikhwincha sokhesaye khwa Baba pa khewa mba ekhe au Yerusalemu.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Mwe vanu mukhesaya ekhesa mukhevona, pakhuva twikhesaya ekhetukhevona, pakhuva ovolokhole vukhuma khu Vayahudi.”
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Inave evo, osekhe gukhwincha, leno ogo apa, osekhe ogu vovikhesaya elweli yuvikhesaya khwa Baba khu mepo nelweli, pakhuva u Baba ikhovalonda avanu ndava ukhuta vanu vamwene avavi khesaya.
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 U Nguluve ve Mepo, na avavikhesaya yenogelanile okhwesaya khu mepo ne lweli.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Udala akhambula, “Nelumanyile ukhuta u Yesu ikhwincha, (Ovikhelangiwa Klisiti). Oywa voikhwincha ikhotuvula gooni.” U Yesu akhavavola,
"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 “One vevunchova nene.”
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Osekhe gugugwa avakongi vamwene vakhakilivokha. Navope vakhaswiga khekhi inchoova nudala, pakhu akhasipali avakhavonchinche, “Vunogwa ekhekhi?” au khekhi vunchovanave oyo?”
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 Pu dala akhalelekha elitenchi akhalula khujini khuvavola avanu,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Mwinche mulole umunu ovyanchovile imbombo nchooni inchinevombile, te yiwesekhana ukhuta ve Klisiti?”
"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 Vakhakhuma khumuji vakhincha khu mwene.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Akhasekhe khapamusi avakongi va mwene vakhanchova, “Rabi lwiya ekhwakhula.”
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Pakhuva omwene akhanchova, “One nelenakhwo ekhyakholwa ekhesamukhemanyile omwe.”
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Avakongi vakhavolana, asipali uva ndetile ekhenu khyokhyoni, “Je vakhaletite?”
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 U Yesu akhavavula, “Ekhyakholwa khyango khuvomba uvonogelanile vwa mwene avyasukhile nu khuvomba indagelo incha mwene.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Te, samunchova, 'Pakhuva akhasekhe khadebe uvubeni vyango vuva tayali?' Nikhuvavula lolaga ifyalo vofilitayali khu vubeni!
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 Omwene ovibena ikhupelela emisahala nukhuvundanwa isekhe incha wumi wa sikhu nchoni, pakhuva uyivilwa nu vibena va lakhekhelaga pupaninie. (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 Pakhuva ovonchovi ovu wayelweli, 'Oyunge iviala oyunge ibena.'
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 Navasukhile khwibene ekhe tava samukhavombele, avange vavombile embombo omwe mwingile ndo khekhelo olwa mbombo eyavene.”
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 Avasamalia vingi vakhamwedekha pakhuva khululagelo ulwa dala ole avale khunchova ne mivele, “Ovekhambulile imbombo nchooni inchine khavombile.”
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 Pakhuva Avasamalia vavile vinchile vakhadova okhutama navo pupaninie navene puakhatama khuvene isikhu ivele.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Vuvingi vakhamwedekha pakhuva khumamenyu gavene.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Vakhambula udala ola, “Tukhwekha sio khumamenyu gakho, pakhuva yufwe tupulikhe, leno putulumanyile ukhuta umwene ve mbakha va khelunga.”
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 Osekhe ogwa vigono vivele, akhakhega nukhuluta khu Galilaya.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Pakhuva yumwene akhanchovile ukhuta venyamalago alevovole ulwedekho khukhelunga khya mwene.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Vuinchile okhukhuma khu Galilaya, ava Galilaya vakhamwupelela, vakhanchiwene imbombo nchooni inchakhavombile khu Yerusalemu mu shelekhe, pakhuva navope vule muvale mushelekhe.
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 Akhincha tena khu Kana eya Galilaya ukhwa ukhwagewisye amagasi ukhuva inkisa. Palepo nu mbakha oswambe ale intamu khu Kapernaumu.
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 Vuapulikhe ukhuta u Yesu akhumile khu Yudea nu khuluta khu Galilaya, akhaluta khwa Yesu nu khudova amwokhole omuialeve, avale kholonda okhufwa.
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 Pu Yesu akhambula, “Umwe mungalekhe okholola ishara ne vidego samukhawesye ukhwedekha.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Ondongonchi akhanchova, “Imbakha ekha pasi khetave omwalevango safwile.”
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 U Yesu akhambula lutaga omwalevo inkafu, “Umunu ola akhedekha elimenyu alelekhanchoviwe nu Yesu akhekhegela.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Pu avile avavombi vamwene vakhamwopela nukhumbula umwaleve ale inkafu.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Pu akhavavuncha osekhe gule khu akhale khuba. Vakhanda, “Pamikhe akhasekhe akha saa saba ovotamu vokhandekha.”
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Pu babaye akhagundula okhuta akhasekhe khala khala akhanchovile uYesu, “Omwalevo inkafu.” Pu mwene na valokololwe vakhamwedekha.
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 Eye yale ishala ya vele eya vombile u Yesu voakhumile khu Yudea ukhuluta khu Galilaya.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
