Yokaana 4
1 Awo Yesu bwe yamanya nti Abafalisaayo bategedde nti abantu bangi bafuuse bayigirizwa be, era ng’abatiza bangi okusinga Yokaana,
When, therefore, the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John,
2 newaakubadde nga Yesu yennyini teyabatiza wabula abayigirizwa be, be baabatizanga,
(though not Jesus himself, but his disciples immersed, )
3 n’ava e Buyudaaya n’addayo e Ggaliraaya.
he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
4 Kyali kimugwanira okuyita mu Samaliya.
And it was necessary that he should go through Samaria.
5 Awo n’atuuka mu kibuga ky’e Samaliya ekiyitibwa Sukali, nga kiri kumpi n’ekibanja Yakobo kye yawa mutabani we Yusufu.
He came, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Awo we waali oluzzi lwa Yakobo. Yesu yali akooye olw’olugendo lwe yatambula, n’atuula awo ku luzzi. Obudde bwali ng’essaawa mukaaga ez’omu ttuntu.
And Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, therefore, wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Awo omukazi Omusamaliya bwe yajja okukima amazzi, Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mpa ku mazzi nnyweko.”
There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. And Jesus said to her: Give me to drink.
8 Mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa be baali bagenze mu kibuga okugulayo ku mmere.
For his disciples had gone into the city to buy food.
9 Awo omukazi Omusamaliya n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe Omuyudaaya oyinza otya okusaba nze Omusamaliya amazzi okunywa?” Kubanga Abayudaaya nga tebakolagana na Basamaliya.
Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)
10 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Singa obadde omanyi ekirabo kya Katonda, n’oyo akugamba nti mpa nnywe ku mazzi bw’ali ggwe wandimusabye, naye yandikuwadde amazzi amalamu.”
Jesus answered and said to her: If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
11 Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Ssebo, tolina kalobo, n’oluzzi luwanvu nnyo.
The woman said to him: Sir, you have no vessel with which you can draw, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water?
12 Ate n’ekirala, ggwe oli mukulu okusinga jjajjaffe Yakobo eyatuwa oluzzi luno ate nga yanywangamu ye n’abaana be n’ensolo ze?”
Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Buli muntu yenna anywa ku mazzi gano ennyonta eriddamu okumuluma.
Jesus answered and said to her: Whoever drinks of this water, will thirst again;
15 Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Ssebo, mpa ku mazzi ago, ennyonta eremenga kunnuma era nneme kujjanga wano kukima mazzi.”
The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Genda oyite balo, okomewo.”
Jesus said to her: Go, call your husband, and come hither.
17 Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Sirina baze!” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Oyogedde kituufu nti tolina balo.
The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: You have well said. I have no husband;
18 Kubanga walina babalo bataano, naye oyo gw’olina kaakano si balo. Ekyo oyogedde mazima.”
for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.
19 Omukazi n’agamba Yesu nti, “Ssebo, ndaba ng’oli nnabbi.
The woman said to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Ku lusozi luno bajjajjaffe kwe baasinzizanga. Naye mmwe mugamba nti, Yerusaalemi kye kifo ekigwana okusinzizangamu.”
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where we ought to worship.
21 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mukazi wattu nzikiriza, kubanga ekiseera kijja kye mutalisinzizangamu Kitaffe ku lusozi luno wadde mu Yerusaalemi.
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 Mmwe musinza kye mutamanyi; ffe tusinza kye tumanyi kubanga obulokozi buva mu Buyudaaya.
You worship you know not what; we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews.
23 Naye ekiseera kijja, era kituuse, abo abasinziza mu mazima bwe banaasinzizanga Kitaffe mu mwoyo ne mu mazima. Kubanga Kitaffe anoonya abo abamusinza era n’abo abamusinza kibagwanira okumusinzanga mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeks such to worship him.
24 Kubanga Katonda Mwoyo n’abo abamusinza kibagwanira okumusinza mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.”
God is spirit; and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Weewaawo, mmanyi nti Masiya, gwe bayita Kristo, ajja. Ye bw’alijja, alitutegeeza ebintu byonna.”
The woman said to him: I know that Messiah (who is called Christ) is coming; when he comes, he will tell us all things.
26 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nze nzuuno ayogera naawe.”
Jesus said to her: I who speak to you am he.
27 Awo mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa ba Yesu ne bakomawo. Ne beewuunya okulaba ng’ayogera n’omukazi. Kyokka ne watabaawo amubuuza nsonga emwogezezza naye wadde bye babadde boogerako.
And upon this his disciples came, and were astonished that he was talking with the woman. Yet no one said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?
28 Awo omukazi n’aleka awo ensuwa ye n’agenda mu kibuga n’ategeeza abantu nti,
Then the woman left her water-pot, and went into the city, and said to the men:
29 “Mujje mulabe omuntu antegeezezza buli kye nnali nkoze. Ayinza okuba nga ye Kristo?”
Come, see a man who has told me all things that I ever did. Is not this the Christ?
30 Ne bava mu kibuga ne bajja eri Yesu.
Then they went out of the city and came to him.
31 Mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa baali beegayirira Yesu alye ku mmere, nga bagamba nti, “Labbi lya ku mmere.”
In the mean time, the disciples besought him, saying: Rabbi, eat.
32 N’abaddamu nti, “Nze nnina ekyokulya mmwe kye mutamanyi.”
But he said to them: I have food to eat of which you know not.
33 Awo abayigirizwa ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Waliwo omuntu amuleetedde ekyokulya?”
Then the disciples said one to another: Has any one brought him food?
34 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekyokulya kyange kwe kukola eyantuma by’ayagala, era n’okutuukiriza omulimu gwe.
Jesus said to them: My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Mmwe temugamba nti, ‘Ekyasigaddeyo emyezi ena amakungula gatuuke?’ Kale muyimuse amaaso gammwe, mutunuulire ennimiro! Amakungula gatuuse.
Do you not say, There are yet four months, and harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, for they are already white for the harvest.
36 Akungula asasulwa empeera ye era n’akuŋŋaanyiza ebibala mu bulamu obutaggwaawo, olwo asiga n’akungula balyoke basanyukire wamu. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for life eternal; that he that sows, and he that reaps, may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Bwe kityo ekigambo nti, ‘Omu asiga omulala n’akungula,’ kyekiva kiba eky’amazima.
For in this is the saying true, One sows and another reaps.
38 Mbatumye mmwe okukungula kye mutaasiga. Abalala be baasiga naye mmwe mugobolodde.”
I have sent you to reap that on which you bestowed no labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.
39 Abasamaliya bangi ab’omu kibuga abaamukkiririzaamu olw’ebyo omukazi bye yabategeeza, ng’abagamba nti, “Antegeezezza buli kye nnali nkoze!”
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, because of the word of the woman who testified, He told me all things that I ever did.
40 Awo Abasamaliya bwe bajja eri Yesu ne bamwegayirira yeeyongere okubeera nabo, n’abeera nabo ennaku bbiri.
When, therefore, the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to abide with them. And he abode there two days.
41 Bangi ne bakkiriza olw’ebyo bye yabategeeza.
And many more believed because of his own word;
42 Awo ne bagamba omukazi nti, “Tumukkiriza si lwa bigambo byo byokka, naye naffe twewuliridde ebigambo bye. Ddala tutegedde nga ye Mulokozi w’ensi.”
and they said to the woman: We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is in truth the Savior of the world, the Christ.
43 Ennaku ezo ebbiri bwe zaggwaako, Yesu n’ava e Samaliya n’alaga e Ggaliraaya.
And after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee;
44 Ye yennyini yagamba nti, “Nnabbi taweebwa kitiibwa mu nsi gy’asibuka.”
for Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Awo Abagaliraaya ne bamwaniriza n’essanyu lingi nnyo, kubanga baali bamaze okulaba eby’amagero bye yakolera mu Yerusaalemi bwe baali ku Mbaga ey’Okuyitako.
Therefore, when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, because they had seen all things that he had done in Jerusalem during the feast; for they themselves had gone to the feast.
46 Yesu n’akomawo mu Kaana eky’e Ggaliraaya, gye yafuulira amazzi wayini. Waaliyo omukungu wa gavumenti ow’e Kaperunawumu eyalina mutabani we nga mulwadde.
Then Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose sou was sick in Capernaum.
47 Omukungu bwe yawulira nga Yesu avudde e Buyudaaya azze e Ggaliraaya, n’agenda gy’ali n’amusaba agende amuwonyeze mutabani we eyali okumpi n’okufa.
When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him that he would come down, and restore his son to health, for he was about to die.
48 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Temusobola kunzikiriza nga temulabye ku bubonero na byamagero?”
Then said Jesus to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
49 Omukungu n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, nkusaba oserengete ojje ng’omwana wange tannafa!”
The courtier said to him: Sir, come down before my child die.
50 Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ggenda mutabani wo awonye!” Omusajja n’akkiriza Yesu ky’amugambye n’agenda.
Jesus said to him: Go, your child lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke, and departed.
51 Naye bwe yali ng’akyali mu kkubo abaddu be ne bamusisinkana ne bamutegeeza nti mutabani we awonye.
And as he was going down, his servants met him, and said: Your son lives.
52 N’ababuuza ekiseera omulenzi we yassuukidde. Ne bamuddamu nti, “Jjo olw’eggulo essaawa nga musanvu omusujja ne gumuwonako!”
Then he inquired of them the hour in which he was restored to health. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
53 Awo Kitaawe w’omulenzi n’ajjukira nga ky’ekiseera ekyo Yesu we yamugambira nti, “Mutabani wo awonye.” Awo omukungu oyo n’ab’enju ye bonna ne bakkiriza.
Then his father knew that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives. And he himself, and all his house, believed.
54 Kino kye kyamagero ekyokubiri Yesu kye yakola ng’akomyewo e Ggaliraaya ng’avudde e Buyudaaya.
This is the second sign which Jesus did, when he came out of Judea into Galilee.
