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.
Jesus, knowing that the Pharisees were informed that he made and immersed more disciples than John,
2 (Nzokande, Yesu Ye moko azalaki kobatisa te, kasi ezalaki nde bayekoli na Ye.)
(though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who immersed, )
3 Boye, alongwaki na Yuda mpe azongaki na Galile.
left Judea, and returned to Galilee.
4 Lokola asengelaki kolekela na Samari,
Being obliged 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 came to a Samaritan city, called Sychar, near the heritage which Jacob gave 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. And Jesus, wearied with the journey, sat down by the well, it being about the sixth hour.
7 Tango mwasi moko ya engumba Samari akendeki kotoka mayi, Yesu alobaki na ye: — Pesa Ngai mayi mpo ete namela.
A woman of Samaria, having come to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give me some drink,
8 (Bayekoli ya Yesu bakendeki na engumba mpo na kosomba biloko ya kolia).
(for his disciples were gone into the city to buy food; )
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.—
the Samaritan woman answered, How is it, that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (For the Jews have no friendly intercourse 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 replied, If you knew the bounty of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me some drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you 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?
She answered, Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep: whence, then, have you the 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?
Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Moto nyonso oyo amelaka mayi oyo, ayokaka lisusu posa ya mayi;
Jesus replied, Whosoever drinks of this water, will 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 answered, Sir, give me this water, that I may never be thirsty, nor come hither to draw.
16 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Kende, benga mobali na yo mpe zonga awa.
Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come back.
17 Mwasi azongisaki: — Nazali na mobali te. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Ozali koloba penza ya solo ete ozali na mobali te,
She answered, I have no husband. Jesus replied, You say 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 you have have had five husbands; and he whom you now have, is not your husband. In this, you have spoken truth.
19 Mwasi yango alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, namoni ete ozali mosakoli.
The woman said, Sir, I perceive that you are 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 worshiped on this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place, where me ought to worship.
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 answered, Woman, believe me, the time approaches when you shall neither come to this mountain, nor go to Jerusalem, to worship 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 worship what you know not, we worship what we know: for salvation is from 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 time comes, or, rather, is come, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such are the worshipers whom the Father requires.
24 Nzambe azali Molimo; esengeli ete bato oyo bagumbamelaka Ye bagumbamela Ye kati na Molimo mpe kati na solo.
God is Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and truth.
25 Mwasi alobaki na Yesu: — Nayebi ete Masiya azali koya, Ye oyo babengaka Klisto; mpe tango akoya, akoyebisa biso makambo nyonso.
The woman replied, I know that the Messiah comes, (that is, Christ; ) when he is come, he will teach us all things.
26 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Nazali Masiya, Ngai oyo nazali koloba na yo.
Jesus said to her, I who speak to you, am he.
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? »
Upon this, his disciples came, and wondered that he talked with a woman; yet none of them said, What do you seek? or, Why do you talk with her?
28 Bongo mwasi atikaki mbeki na ye wana, azongaki na engumba mpe alobaki na bato:
Then the woman left her pitcher, and having gone into the city, said to the people,
29 — Boya kotala moto oyo ayebisi ngai makambo nyonso oyo nasalaki. Akoki kozala Klisto te?
Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is this not the Messiah?
30 Bato babimaki longwa na engumba mpe bakendeki epai ya Yesu.
They, accordingly, went out of the city, and came to him.
31 Na tango yango, bayekoli bazalaki kosenga na Yesu: — Rabi, lia.
Meanwhile, the disciples entreating him, said, Rabbi, eat.
32 Kasi Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Ngai, nakolia bilei oyo bino boyebi te.
He answered, I have food to eat which you know not.
33 Bongo bayekoli na Ye balobanaki bango na bango: — Boni, ekoki kozala na moto oyo amemelaki Ye bilei?
Then said his disciples, one to another, Has any man brought him food?
34 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bilei na Ngai ezali: kosala mokano ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai mpe kosilisa mosala oyo apesaki Ngai.
Jesus answered, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish 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, After four months comes harvest? But I say, Lift up your eyes, and survey the fields; for they are already white enough for 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)
The reaper receives wages, and gathers the fruits of eternal life, that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Awa nde ekokisami bosolo ya lisese oyo elobaka: « Moko alonaka, mosusu abukaka. »
For in this, the proverb is verified, One sows, and another reaps.
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 sent you to reap that on which you have bestowed no labor: others labored, and you get possession of their labors.
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, many Samaritans of that city believed him, on the testimony of the woman, who said, He told me all that ever I did.
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.
When, therefore, they came to him, they besought him to stay with them; and he staid there two days.
41 Bato ebele koleka bakomaki kondimela Ye mpo na maloba oyo Ye moko azalaki koloba.
And many more believed, because of what they heard from himself;
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, It is not, now, on account of what you have reported, that we believe; for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is truly the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.
43 Sima na mikolo mibale, Yesu alongwaki wana mpe akendeki na Galile.
After the two days, Jesus departed, and went to Galilee,
44 Solo, Ye moko Yesu alobaki ete mosakoli azwaka lokumu te kati na ekolo na ye.
for he had himself declared that a prophet is not regarded 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.
Being come into Galilee, he was well received by the Galileans, who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem, during the festival; for they likewise attended the festival.
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.
Then Jesus returned to Cana, of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain officer of the court, whose son lay sick at Capernaum,
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.
who having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and entreated him to come and cure his son, who was dying.
48 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Boni, bokondima kaka soki bomoni bilembo mpe bikamwa?
Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and prodigies, you will not believe.
49 Mokonzi wana ya basoda alobaki: — Nkolo na ngai, yaka noki liboso ete mwana na ngai ya mobali akufa.
The officer answered, Come, Sir, before my child 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 replied, Go your way. Your son is well. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, 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.
As he was returning, his servants met him, and informed him that his son was well.
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 then inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They answered, 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.
Then the father knew, that it was the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son is well; and he, and all his family, believed.
54 Oyo nde ezalaki likamwisi ya mibale oyo Yesu asalaki sima na Ye kozonga na Galile longwa na Yuda.
This second miracle Jesus performed, after returning from Judea to Galilee.
