< Iohannem 4 >

1 Ut ergo cognovit Jesus quia audierunt pharisæi quod Jesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Joannes
When therefore 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 baptized not, but his disciples),
3 reliquit Judæam, et abiit iterum in Galilæam.
he left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Oportebat autem eum transire per Samariam.
And he must needs pass through Samaria.
5 Venit ergo in civitatem Samariæ, quæ dicitur Sichar, juxta prædium quod dedit Jacob Joseph filio suo.
So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to 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.
and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Jesus: Da mihi bibere.
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (Discipuli enim ejus abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.)
For his disciples were 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 saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am 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 and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 Dicit ei mulier: Domine, neque in quo haurias habes, et puteus altus est: unde ergo habes aquam vivam?
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou 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?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Omnis qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum;
Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 qui autem biberit ex aqua quam ego dabo ei, non sitiet in æternum: sed aqua quam ego dabo ei, fiet in eo fons aquæ salientis in vitam æternam. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 Dicit ad eum mulier: Domine, da mihi hanc aquam, ut non sitiam, neque veniam huc haurire.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
16 Dicit ei Jesus: Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc.
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Respondit mulier, et dixit: Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Jesus: Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum;
The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
18 quinque enim viros habuisti, et nunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir: hoc vere dixisti.
for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
19 Dicit ei mulier: Domine, video quia propheta es tu.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Jerosolymis est locus ubi adorare oportet.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Dicit ei Jesus: Mulier, crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Jerosolymis adorabitis Patrem.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
22 Vos adoratis quod nescitis: nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Judæis est.
Ye worship that which ye know not: 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 cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
24 Spiritus est Deus: et eos qui adorant eum, in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare.
God is a Spirit: and they that 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 saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.
26 Dicit ei Jesus: Ego sum, qui loquor tecum.
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
27 Et continuo venerunt discipuli ejus, et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur. Nemo tamen dixit: Quid quæris? aut, Quid loqueris cum ea?
And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?
28 Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus:
So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith 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 all things that [ever] I did: 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 mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
32 Ille autem dicit eis: Ego cibum habeo manducare, quem vos nescitis.
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
33 Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem: Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare?
The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
34 Dicit eis Jesus: Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem ejus qui misit me, ut perficiam opus ejus.
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that 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.
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.
36 Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam æternam: ut et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit. (aiōnios g166)
He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 In hoc enim est verbum verum: quia alius est qui seminat, et alius est qui metit.
For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis: alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis.
I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are 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.
And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that [ever] I did.
40 Cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani, rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret. Et mansit ibi duos dies.
So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
41 Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem ejus.
And 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.
and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
43 Post duos autem dies exiit inde, et abiit in Galilæam.
And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
44 Ipse enim Jesus testimonium perhibuit, quia propheta in sua patria honorem non habet.
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath 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 Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilææ, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cujus filius infirmabatur Capharnaum.
He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And 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 was come out of Judæa into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought [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 unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
49 Dicit ad eum regulus: Domine, descende priusquam moriatur filius meus.
The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Dicit ei Jesus: Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat.
Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.
51 Jam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nuntiaverunt dicentes, quia filius ejus viveret.
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
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 amend. They said therefore unto 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 unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and 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 Judæa into Galilee.
