Yoane 4
1 Yesu ayokaki ete Bafarizeo bazwi sango oyo ezali koloba ete akomi na bayekoli ebele koleka Yoane mpe azali kobatisa bato mingi koleka Yoane.
When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John,
2 (Nzokande, Yesu Ye moko azalaki kobatisa te, kasi ezalaki nde bayekoli na Ye.)
(Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples, )
3 Boye, alongwaki na Yuda mpe azongaki na Galile.
He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
4 Lokola asengelaki kolekela na Samari,
And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.
5 akomaki na engumba Sishari ya Samari, oyo ezalaki mosika te na elanga oyo Jakobi apesaki epai ya mwana na ye, Jozefi.
He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Nzokande libulu ya mayi ya Jakobi ezalaki kati na elanga yango. Boye lokola Yesu alembaki nzoto mpo na mobembo, avandaki pembeni ya libulu yango. Ezalaki pene ya ngonga ya midi.
Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Tango mwasi moko ya engumba Samari akendeki kotoka mayi, Yesu alobaki na ye: — Pesa Ngai mayi mpo ete namela.
There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.
8 (Bayekoli ya Yesu bakendeki na engumba mpo na kosomba biloko ya kolia).
For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.
9 Kasi mwasi yango alobaki: — Ebandi ndenge nini yo oyo ozali Moyuda osenga ngai, mwasi ya engumba Samari, mayi mpo ete omela? —Pamba te Bayuda bazalaki koyokana te na bato ya Samari.—
Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.
10 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Soki oyebaki likabo ya Nzambe mpe nani oyo asengi yo mayi, ezali yo nde olingaki kosenga Ye mayi mpo ete omela, mpe Ye alingaki kopesa yo mayi ya bomoi.
Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 Mwasi alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, ozali na eloko moko te mpo na kotoka mayi, mpe libulu ezali mozindo; bongo mayi yango ya bomoi, olingaki kozwa yango wapi?
The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?
12 Koko na biso, Jakobi, apesa biso libulu oyo; ye moko mpe amela mayi na yango, elongo na bana na ye mpe bibwele na ye. Boni, okanisi ete oleki ye?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Moto nyonso oyo amelaka mayi oyo, ayokaka lisusu posa ya mayi;
Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;
15 Mwasi yango alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, pesa ngai mayi yango mpo ete nayokaka lisusu posa ya mayi te mpe nazonga lisusu awa te mpo na kotoka mayi.
The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Kende, benga mobali na yo mpe zonga awa.
Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Mwasi azongisaki: — Nazali na mobali te. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Ozali koloba penza ya solo ete ozali na mobali te,
The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:
18 pamba te ozalaki na mibali mitano; mpe ye oyo ozali na ye sik’oyo azali mpe mobali na yo te. Boye likambo oyo owuti koloba ezali ya solo.
For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.
19 Mwasi yango alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, namoni ete ozali mosakoli.
The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Bakoko na biso, bato ya Samari, bagumbamelaki Nzambe na likolo ya ngomba oyo; kasi bino, Bayuda, bolobaka ete esika epai wapi tosengeli kogumbamela ezali kati na Yelusalemi.
Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.
21 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Mwasi, ndima Ngai: tango ezali koya, tango oyo bakogumbamela lisusu Tata te na likolo ya ngomba oyo to kati na Yelusalemi.
Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.
22 Bino, bato ya Samari, bogumbamelaka nzambe oyo boyebi te; kasi biso, togumbamelaka Nzambe oyo toyebi, pamba te lobiko ewuti epai ya Bayuda.
You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.
23 Kasi tango ezali koya mpe esili na yango kokoka, tango oyo bagumbameli ya solo bokogumbamela Tata, kati na Molimo mpe kati na solo; pamba te Tata alukaka bato oyo bogumbamelaka Ye na lolenge wana.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.
24 Nzambe azali Molimo; esengeli ete bato oyo bagumbamelaka Ye bagumbamela Ye kati na Molimo mpe kati na solo.
God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.
25 Mwasi alobaki na Yesu: — Nayebi ete Masiya azali koya, Ye oyo babengaka Klisto; mpe tango akoya, akoyebisa biso makambo nyonso.
The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ). Therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Nazali Masiya, Ngai oyo nazali koloba na yo.
Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
27 Kaka na tango yango, bayekoli ya Yesu bazongaki. Bakamwaki mingi komona Yesu kosolola na mwasi. Kasi moko te kati na bango amekaki kotuna Ye: « Ozali koluka nini? » to « Mpo na nini ozali kosolola na ye? »
And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?
28 Bongo mwasi atikaki mbeki na ye wana, azongaki na engumba mpe alobaki na bato:
The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:
29 — Boya kotala moto oyo ayebisi ngai makambo nyonso oyo nasalaki. Akoki kozala Klisto te?
Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?
30 Bato babimaki longwa na engumba mpe bakendeki epai ya Yesu.
They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.
31 Na tango yango, bayekoli bazalaki kosenga na Yesu: — Rabi, lia.
In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.
32 Kasi Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Ngai, nakolia bilei oyo bino boyebi te.
But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.
33 Bongo bayekoli na Ye balobanaki bango na bango: — Boni, ekoki kozala na moto oyo amemelaki Ye bilei?
The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?
34 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bilei na Ngai ezali: kosala mokano ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai mpe kosilisa mosala oyo apesaki Ngai.
Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.
35 Bino bolobaka: « Etikali sanza minei mpo ete tobuka mbuma kati na bilanga. » Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: bofungola miso na bino mpe botala malamu bilanga; bambuma ekomeli mpe ekoki mpo na kobuka.
Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.
36 Moto oyo azali kobuka azali komizwela lifuti mpe kosangisa bambuma mpo na bomoi ya seko. Boye, moloni mpe mobuki mbuma bazali kosepela elongo, bango mibale. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Awa nde ekokisami bosolo ya lisese oyo elobaka: « Moko alonaka, mosusu abukaka. »
For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.
38 Natindaki bino kobuka bambuma ya elanga oyo bino bolonaki te; ezali bato mosusu nde basalaki mosala, mpe bino bozali bobele kosepela na motoki ya bato mosusu.
I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.
39 Bato mingi ya Samari, oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na engumba wana bandimelaki Yesu mpo na litatoli oyo mwasi azalaki kopesa: « Ayebisi ngai makambo nyonso oyo nasalaki. »
Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.
40 Tango bato ya Samari bayaki epai ya Yesu, basengaki na Ye ete avanda elongo na bango; mpe Yesu avandaki elongo na bango mikolo mibale.
So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.
41 Bato ebele koleka bakomaki kondimela Ye mpo na maloba oyo Ye moko azalaki koloba.
And many more believed in him because of his own word.
42 Bongo balobaki na mwasi wana: — Tondimi kaka te mpo na makambo oyo olobaki, pamba te biso moko toyoki sik’oyo mpe toyebi ete azali penza Mobikisi ya mokili.
And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
43 Sima na mikolo mibale, Yesu alongwaki wana mpe akendeki na Galile.
Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 Solo, Ye moko Yesu alobaki ete mosakoli azwaka lokumu te kati na ekolo na ye.
For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Tango akomaki na Galile, bato ya Galile bayambaki Ye, pamba te bango mpe bakendeki na Yelusalemi, na tango ya feti, mpe bamonaki makambo nyonso oyo asalaki kuna.
And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.
46 Yesu ayaki lisusu na Kana ya Galile, epai wapi abongolaki mayi vino. Nzokande, na Kapernawumi, ezalaki na mokonzi moko ya basoda oyo mwana na ye ya mobali azalaki kobela.
He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.
47 Tango ayokaki ete Yesu akomi na Galile longwa na Yuda, akendeki kokutana na Ye mpe asengaki na Ye ete akende kobikisa mwana na ye ya mobali oyo akomi pene ya kokufa.
He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Boni, bokondima kaka soki bomoni bilembo mpe bikamwa?
Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.
49 Mokonzi wana ya basoda alobaki: — Nkolo na ngai, yaka noki liboso ete mwana na ngai ya mobali akufa.
The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.
50 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Kende, mwana na yo ya mobali azali na bomoi. Moto yango andimaki maloba oyo Yesu alobaki mpe azongaki.
Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.
51 Wana azalaki kozonga, basali na ye bayaki kokutana na ye mpe bayebisaki ye: — Mwana na yo ya mobali abiki na bokono na ye.
And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.
52 Atunaki bango soki ezalaki na ngonga nini mwana abikaki. Bazongisaki: — Fievele etikaki ye lobi oyo eleki, na ngonga ya liboso sima na midi.
He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
53 Tata asosolaki ete ezalaki kaka na ngonga oyo Yesu alobaki na ye: « Mwana na yo ya mobali azali na bomoi. » Bongo ye elongo na bato nyonso ya ndako na ye bandimaki.
The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 Oyo nde ezalaki likamwisi ya mibale oyo Yesu asalaki sima na Ye kozonga na Galile longwa na Yuda.
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.
