Yohana 4
1 Basi Yesu bho amanyili kujha Mafarisayo bhap'eliki kujha Yesu ajhele ni bhafuasi ni kubhabatisya zaidi jha 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 (ingabhwa Yesu muene abatisighe lepi bali bhanafunzi bha muene),
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 abhoki Yudea ni kulota Galilaya.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Hivyo jhajhele muhimu kup'etela Samaria.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Ni kufika ku mji ghwa Samaria, ghwaghwikutibhwa Sikari, karibu ni lieneo ambalyo Yakobo ampelili mwanamunu Yusufu.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Ni kisima kya Yakobo kyajhele apu. Yesu ajhele atondili kwa ndabha jha safuari ni kutama karibu ni kisima. Ghwajhele muda ghwa pamusi.
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 N'dala n'samaria ahidili kunegha masi, ni Yesu akan'jobhela, “Nipelayi masi ninyuayi.”
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Kwa ndabha bhanafunzi bha muene bhalotili kumjini kuh'emela kya kulya.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 N'dala y'ola akan'jobhela, “Jhijhabhuli bhebhe Myahudi, kunisoma nene masi n'dala N'samaria, khenu kya kunywa?” Kwandabha Bhayahudi bhichangamana lepi ni Bhasamaria.
"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 akan'jibu, “Kama ngaumanyi karama jha K'yara, ni jhola jhaikujobhela 'Nipelayi masi,' ngaun'somili, na ngaakupelili masi gha uzima.”
"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 N'dala akajibu, “Bwana ujhelepi ni lidoo lya kuneghela, ni kisima kitali. Ghwibeta kughakabha ndaku masi gha uzima?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Je bhebhe ndo mbaha, kuliko dadi jhitu Yakobo, ambajhe atupelili kisima ekhe ni muene ni bhanamunu pamonga ni mifugo ghya muene kunywa masi gha kisima 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 Yesu akajibu, “Jhejhioha jha ibetakunywa masi agha ibetakukabha kiu kabhele,
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 N'dala jhola akan'jobhela, “Bwana, nikaghas'oma masi aghu ili nisikabhi kiu kabhele, na nisihangaiki kuhida apa kunenga masi.”
"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 akan'jobhela, “Lotayi kan'kutayi n'gosibhu, kisha kerebhutayi.”
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 N'dala akan'jobhela, “Nijhelepi ni n'gosi.” Yesu akajibu, “Ujobhili kinofu, 'Nijhelepi n'gosi;'
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 kwa maana ujhele ni bhagosi bhahanu, ni mmonga ambajhe ujhe naku henu n'gosibhu lepi. Kwa e'le ujobhi bhukweli!”
"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 N'dala akan'jobhela, “Bwana nibhona kujha bhebhe ndo nabii.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Bha dadijhitu bhaabuduili pa kid'onda ekhe. Lakini muenga mwijobha kujha Yerusalemu ndiyo sehemu ambajho bhanu bhilondeka kuabudu.”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Yesu akan'jibu, “N'dala, niaminiayi, wakati wihida ambapo mwibetalepi kumwabudu dadi pa kid'onda 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 Muenga bhanu mwiabudu khila kyamukimanyi lepi, lakini tete twiabudu kyatukimanyili, kwa ndabha bhwokovu bhwihoma kwa bhayahudi.”
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Hata ivyo, wakati ihida, na henu ujhele apa, wakati bhabhiabudu kweli bhibeta kumwabudu Dadi mu roho ni kweli, kwa ndabha Dadi akabhalonda bhanu bha namna ejhu kujha bhanu bha muene bhabhikamwabudu.
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 K'yara ndo roho, ni bhala bhobhakamwabudu bhilondeka kumwabudu kwa roho ni kweli.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 N'dala akan'jobhela, “Nimanyili kujha Masihi ihida, (jhaikutibhwa Kristu). Ojhu pa ibetakuhida ibetakutujobhela ghoha.”
"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 akan'jobhela, “Nene jhaghwijobha nani ndo nene.”
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Wakati bhobhuobhu bhanafunzi bha muene bhakakerebhuka. Ni bhene bhakasyangala kwa ndabha jhakiki alongeleghe ni n'dala, lakini ajhelepi jhaathubutu ili kun'kota, “Ghwilonda kiki?” au “Kwa ndabha jhakiki ghwilonda nakhu?”
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 Naha n'dala akabhuleka pala kibhegha kya masi ni kulota kumjini ni kubhajobhela bhanu,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Muhidayi mundangayi munu jha anijobhili mambo gha nene ghoha ghanighabhombili, je jhibhwesekana kujha ndo Kristu?”
"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 Bhakabhoka ku mjini bhakahida kwa muene.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Wakati ghwa pamusi bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'sihi bhakajobha, “Rabi lyajhi kyakulya.”
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 lakini muene abhajobhili, “Nene ni jhele ni kyakulya kya mukimanyilepi muenga.”
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Bhanafunzi bhakajobhesana, ajhelepi munu jha andetili khenu kyokyoha kulya, “Je bhalatili?”
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Yesu akabhajobhela, “Kyakulya kya nene ndo kubhomba mapenzi gha muene jha anitumili ni kutimisya mbombo jha muene.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Je, mwijobhalepi, 'Jhakhona miesi mihanu ni mavuno ghibetakujha tayari?' Nikabhajobhela mulangayi mig'onda kyaghijha tayari kwa mavuno!
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 Muene jhaivuna ipokela mishahara ni kukusanya matunda kwa ndabha jha bhusima bhwa milele, ili kwamba muene jha ipanda ni jha ivuna bhahobhelelayi pamonga. (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 Kwa kujha msemo obho ni wa bhukweli, 'Mmonga ipanda ni jhongi ivuna.'
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 Nikabhatumili kuvuna ambakyo mkakihangaikili lepi, bhangi bhabhombili mbombo ni muenga mujhingili mu furaha jha kazi jha bhene.”
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 Bhasamaria bhingi mu mji bhola bha mwamini kwa ndabha jha taarifa jha n'dala jhola jhaashuhudili, “Jhaanijobhili mambo ghoha ghanighabhombili.”
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 Hivyo bhasamaria bho bhahidili bhan'sokili atamayi naku na atamili kwa bhene kwa magono mabhele.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Ni bhingi zaidi bhakajhanda kumwamini kwa ndabha jha lilobhi lya muene.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 bhakan'jobhela muene n'dala, “Tunaamini sio tu kwa maneno yak0o, kwa ndabha twebhene tup'eliki, ni henu tumanyili kujha hakika muene ndo mwokozi ghwa bhulimwengu.”
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 Baada jha magono aghu mabhele, akabhoka ni kulota Galilaya.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Kwandabha muene atangasili kujha nabii ajhelepi ni heshima mu hali jha muene.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Bho ahidili kuh'oma Galilaya, Bhagalilaya bhakan'karibisya. Bhabhuene mambo ghoha gha aghabhombili Yerusalemu ku sikukuu, kwa ndabha ni bhene pia bhahuzulili ku sikukuu.
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 Ahidili kabhele Kana jha Galilaya okhu aghabadilisi masi kujha divai. Pajhele ni ofisa ambajhe mwana munu ajhele n'tamu okhu 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 Bho ap'eliki Yesu ah'omili Yudea ni kulota Galilaya, akalota kwa Yesu ni kun'sihi aselelayi amponesi mwanamunu, ambajhe ajhele karibu kufwa.
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 Ndipo Yesu akan'jobhela, “Muenga mukabelayi kubhona ishara ni maajabu mwibhwesya lepi kuamini.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Nndongosi akajobha, “Bwana selelayi pasi kabla mwanabhangu kufwa.”
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Yesu akan'jobhela, “Lotayi mwanabhu mzima.” Munu jhola akaamini lilobhi lyaalijobhili Yesu ni kwilotela.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Bho iselela, bhatumishi bha muene bhakampokelela ni kun'jobhela mwanamunu ajhe n'sima.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Hivyo akabhakhota ndo mda bholoki ghwa kabhili nafuu. Bhakajibu, “Golo muda ghwa saa saba homa jhagudeme.”
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Ndipo dadimunu akamanya kujha ndo muda bholabhola Yesu pa ajobhili, “Mwana ghwa jhobhi ndo n'sima.” Hivyo muene ni familia jha muene bhakaamini.
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 Ejhe jhajhele ndo ishara jha bhubhele jhaajhibhombili Yesu bhoahomili Yudea kul'ota Galilaya.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
