< Iohannem 4 >

1 Ut ergo cognovit Iesus quia audierunt Pharisaei quod Iesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Ioannes,
When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John
2 (quamquam Iesus non baptizaret, sed discipuli eius)
(although Jesus himself did not immerse, but his disciples),
3 reliquit Iudaeam, et abiit iterum in Galilaeam.
he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
4 oportebat autem eum transire per mediam Samariam.
And it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.
5 Venit ergo in civitatem Samariae, quae dicitur Sichar: iuxta praedium, quod dedit Iacob Ioseph filio suo.
So he comes to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Erat autem ibi fons Iacob. Iesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere, sedebat sic supra fontem. Hora autem erat quasi sexta.
And Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied from the journey, thus was sitting on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Iesus: Da mihi bibere.
A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
8 (Discipuli enim eius abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.)
For his disciples had gone away into the city so that they might buy food.
9 Dicit ergo ei mulier illa Samaritana: Quomodo tu Iudaeus cum sis, bibere a me poscis, quae sum mulier Samaritana? non enim coutuntur Iudaei Samaritanis.
The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How do thou, being Jewish, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman, for Jews do not associate with Samaritans?
10 Respondit Iesus, 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 to her, If thou had known the gift of God, and who it is who says to thee, Give me to drink, thou would have asked 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 says to him, Sir, thou have not even a container, and the well is deep. From where then have thou the living water?
12 Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Iacob, qui dedit nobis puteum, et ipse ex eo bibit, et filii eius, et pecora eius?
Are thou greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his livestock?
13 Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Omnis, qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum:
Jesus answered and said to her, Every man who drinks of this water will thirst again,
14 qui autem biberit ex aqua, quam ego dabo ei, non sitiet in aeternum: sed aqua, quam ego dabo ei, fiet in eo fons aquae salientis in vitam aeternam. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will, no, not thirst into the age. But the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to 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 says to him, Give me this water, sir, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw out.
16 Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc.
Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
17 Respondit mulier, et dixit: Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Iesus: Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum:
The woman answered and said to him, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Thou said correctly, I have no husband.
18 quinque enim viros habuisti, et hunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir: hoc vere dixisti.
For thou have had five husbands, and he whom thou now have is not thy husband. This thou have said true.
19 Dicit ei mulier: Domine, video quia Propheta es tu.
The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that thou are a prophet.
20 Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Ierosolymis est locus, ubi adorare oportet.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.
21 Dicit ei Iesus: Mulier crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Ierosolymis adorabitis Patrem.
Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour is coming when neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem will ye worship the Father.
22 Vos adoratis quod nescitis: nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Iudaeis est.
Ye worship what ye do not know. We worship what we know, because 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 quaerit, qui adorent eum.
But an hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for also the Father seeks such kind who worship him.
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 annunciabit omnia.
The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When that man comes he will declare all things to us.
26 Dicit ei Iesus: Ego sum, qui loquor tecum.
Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am the man.
27 Et continuo venerunt discipuli eius: et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur. Nemo tamen dixit: Quid quaeris, aut quid loqueris cum ea?
And upon this his disciples came. And they marveled that he spoke with the woman, yet no man said, What seek thou? or, Why do thou speak with her?
28 Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus:
The woman therefore left her water pot, and departed into the city, and says to the men,
29 Venite, et videte hominem, qui dixit mihi omnia quaecumque feci: numquid ipse est Christus?
Come, see a man who told me all, as many things as I did. Is not this the Christ?
30 Exierunt ergo de civitate, et veniebant ad eum.
They went out of the city, and came to him.
31 Interea rogabant eum discipuli, dicentes: Rabbi, manduca.
In the meanwhile the disciples asked 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 ye know not.
33 Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem: Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare?
The disciples therefore said to each other, Did any man bring him to eat?
34 Dicit eis Iesus: Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem eius, qui misit me, ut perficiam opus eius.
Jesus says to them, My food is that I do the will of him who sent me, and may finish his work.
35 Nonne vos dicitis, quod adhuc quattuor menses sunt, et messis venit? Ecce dico vobis: Levate oculos vestros, et videte regiones, quia albae sunt iam ad messem.
Do ye not say, There are still four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are already white for harvest.
36 Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam aeternam: ut, et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit. (aiōnios g166)
And he who reaps receives a wage and gathers fruit for eternal life, so 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 is who sows, and another who reaps.
38 Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis: alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis.
I sent you to reap what ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.
39 Ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum, propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis: Quia dixit mihi omnia quaecumque feci.
And many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all, as many things as I did.
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 asked him to remain with them, and he remained there two days.
41 Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem eius.
And many more believed because of his word.
42 Et mulieri dicebant: Quia iam non propter tuam loquelam credimus: ipsi enim audivimus, et scimus quia hic est vere Salvator mundi.
And they said to the woman, We no longer believe because of thy speaking, for we have heard ourselves, and know that this really is the Savior of the world, the Christ.
43 Post duos autem dies exiit inde: et abiit in Galilaeam.
And after the two days he departed from there and went into Galilee.
44 Ipse enim Iesus testimonium perhibuit quia Propheta in sua patria honorem non habet.
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own fatherland.
45 Cum ergo venisset in Galilaeam, exceperunt eum Galilaei, cum omnia vidissent quae fecerat Ierosolymis 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 Galilaeae, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cuius filius infirmabatur Capharnaum.
Jesus therefore came again to 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 Iesus adveniret a Iudaea in Galilaeam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium eius: incipiebat enim mori.
This man having heard that Jesus comes out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was going to die.
48 Dixit ergo Iesus ad eum: Nisi signa, et prodigia videritis, non creditis.
Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye may see signs and wonders, ye will, no, not believe.
49 Dicit ad eum regulus: Domine, descende prius quam moriatur filius meus.
The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
50 Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni, quem dixit ei Iesus, et ibat.
Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and he departed.
51 Iam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nunciaverunt dicentes, quia filius eius viveret.
And as he was now going down, his bondmen met him and reported, saying, Thy boy 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 in which he fared well. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat, in qua dixit ei Iesus: Filius tuus vivit: et credidit ipse, et domus eius tota.
So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives. And he himself believed and his whole house.
54 Hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Iesus, cum venisset a Iudaea in Galilaeam.
This again is a second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
