Iohannem 4
1 Ut ergo cognovit Jesus quia audierunt pharisæi quod Jesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Joannes
Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (quamquam Jesus non baptizaret, sed discipuli ejus),
(although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
3 reliquit Judæam, et abiit iterum in Galilæam.
he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
4 Oportebat autem eum transire per Samariam.
He needed to pass through Samaria.
5 Venit ergo in civitatem Samariæ, quæ dicitur Sichar, juxta prædium quod dedit Jacob Joseph filio suo.
So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Erat autem ibi fons Jacob. Jesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere, sedebat sic supra fontem. Hora erat quasi sexta.
Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Jesus: Da mihi bibere.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
8 (Discipuli enim ejus abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.)
For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Dicit ergo ei mulier illa Samaritana: Quomodo tu, Judæus cum sis, bibere a me poscis, quæ sum mulier Samaritana? non enim coutuntur Judæi Samaritanis.
The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Si scires donum Dei, et quis est qui dicit tibi: Da mihi bibere, tu forsitan petisses ab eo, et dedisset tibi aquam vivam.
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 Dicit ei mulier: Domine, neque in quo haurias habes, et puteus altus est: unde ergo habes aquam vivam?
The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
12 Numquid tu major es patre nostro Jacob, qui dedit nobis puteum, et ipse ex eo bibit, et filii ejus, et pecora ejus?
Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
13 Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Omnis qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum;
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
15 Dicit ad eum mulier: Domine, da mihi hanc aquam, ut non sitiam, neque veniam huc haurire.
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
16 Dicit ei Jesus: Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc.
Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 Respondit mulier, et dixit: Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Jesus: Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum;
The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
18 quinque enim viros habuisti, et nunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir: hoc vere dixisti.
for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
19 Dicit ei mulier: Domine, video quia propheta es tu.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Jerosolymis est locus ubi adorare oportet.
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
21 Dicit ei Jesus: Mulier, crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Jerosolymis adorabitis Patrem.
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 Vos adoratis quod nescitis: nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Judæis est.
You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Sed venit hora, et nunc est, quando veri adoratores adorabunt Patrem in spiritu et veritate. Nam et Pater tales quærit, qui adorent eum.
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
24 Spiritus est Deus: et eos qui adorant eum, in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare.
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 Dicit ei mulier: Scio quia Messias venit (qui dicitur Christus): cum ergo venerit ille, nobis annuntiabit omnia.
The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
26 Dicit ei Jesus: Ego sum, qui loquor tecum.
Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
27 Et continuo venerunt discipuli ejus, et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur. Nemo tamen dixit: Quid quæris? aut, Quid loqueris cum ea?
Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
28 Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus:
So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
29 Venite, et videte hominem qui dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci: numquid ipse est Christus?
“Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
30 Exierunt ergo de civitate et veniebant ad eum.
They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 Interea rogabant eum discipuli, dicentes: Rabbi, manduca.
In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Ille autem dicit eis: Ego cibum habeo manducare, quem vos nescitis.
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem: Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare?
The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
34 Dicit eis Jesus: Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem ejus qui misit me, ut perficiam opus ejus.
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
35 Nonne vos dicitis quod adhuc quatuor menses sunt, et messis venit? Ecce dico vobis: levate oculos vestros, et videte regiones, quia albæ sunt jam ad messem.
Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
36 Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam æternam: ut et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit. (aiōnios g166)
He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 In hoc enim est verbum verum: quia alius est qui seminat, et alius est qui metit.
For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
38 Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis: alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis.
I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum, propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis: Quia dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci.
From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
40 Cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani, rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret. Et mansit ibi duos dies.
So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
41 Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem ejus.
Many more believed because of his word.
42 Et mulieri dicebant: Quia jam non propter tuam loquelam credimus: ipsi enim audivimus, et scimus quia hic est vere Salvator mundi.
They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
43 Post duos autem dies exiit inde, et abiit in Galilæam.
After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
44 Ipse enim Jesus testimonium perhibuit, quia propheta in sua patria honorem non habet.
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Cum ergo venisset in Galilæam, exceperunt eum Galilæi, cum omnia vidissent quæ fecerat Jerosolymis in die festo: et ipsi enim venerant ad diem festum.
So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
46 Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilææ, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cujus filius infirmabatur Capharnaum.
Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Hic cum audisset quia Jesus adveniret a Judæa in Galilæam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium ejus: incipiebat enim mori.
When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
48 Dixit ergo Jesus ad eum: Nisi signa et prodigia videritis, non creditis.
Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
49 Dicit ad eum regulus: Domine, descende priusquam moriatur filius meus.
The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 Dicit ei Jesus: Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat.
Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
51 Jam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nuntiaverunt dicentes, quia filius ejus viveret.
As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
52 Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei: Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris.
So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
53 Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Jesus: Filius tuus vivit; et credidit ipse et domus ejus tota.
So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
54 Hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Jesus, cum venisset a Judæa in Galilæam.
This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
