Jaona 4
1 Aa ie niarofoana’ i Talè te jinanji’ o Fariseoo te namory naho nandipotse mpioke maro te amy Jaona t’Iesoà,
AS soon then as the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John
2 (Toe tsy nampilipotse t’Iesoà, fa o mpiama’eo.)
(though Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),
3 le nienga Iehodà re nibalike mb’e Galilia añe,
he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
4 f’ie tsi-mete tsy niranga i Samaria;
Now he must necessarily pass through Samaria.
5 aa le nivotrak’ an-drova’ i Samaria atao Sikara re, marine’ ty toetse natolo’ Iakobe am’ Iosefe ana’e.
Then he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sichar, near the spot of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Teo ty vovo’ Iakobe. Nivozak’ amy fañavelo’ey t’Iesoà le niambesatse amy vovoñey; ie fa ho oram-paheneñe.
And Jacob’s well was there. Therefore Jesus, weary with his journey, e’en sat himself down on the well: it was about the sixth hour.
7 Nimb’eo amy zao ty rakemba nte-Samaria hitari-drano, le hoe t’Iesoà ama’e: Anjotsò rano iraho.
A woman of Samaria comes to draw water: Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.
8 (fa nihitrik’ mb’an-drova añe o mpiama’eo hikalo mahakama.)
(For his disciples were gone into the city to buy provisions.)
9 Aa hoe i rakemba nte-Samariay ama’e: Aa vaho akore te Ihe Jiosy, ro mipay rano amako: izaho ampela nte Samaria? (amy te tsy mifañaoñe amo nte-Samariao o Jiosio.)
The Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, How canst thou, a Jew, ask of me, who am a Samaritan woman, to drink? for Jews avoid all intercourse with Samaritans.
10 Le hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà, Naho nifohi’o ty falalàn’ Añahare naho o nanao ama’o ty hoe: Anjotsò rano, le ho nihalalia’o vaho ho nanjotsoa’e rano veloñe.
Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that speaketh to thee, thou wouldest have requested him, and he would have given thee life-giving water.
11 Hoe re tama’e: O Aba, tsy amam-pavintan-dRehe, laleke o vovoñeo, aia ty hahazoa’o ze o ranon-kaveloñe zao?
The woman saith unto him, Thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: whence then canst thou have this water that giveth life?
12 Ihe hao ro bey te am’ Iakobe raen-tika nanolots’ anay ty vovoñe tìañe, ie nikamae’ o ana’eo naho o hare’eo?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe, Ze minoñe ty rano toy mbe haran-drano avao,
Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one who drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
15 Hoe i rakembay tama’e, O Aba, meo ahy i rano zay tsy haran-dranoako naho tsy hitohàko mb’etoa hitarike.
The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may no more thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Hoe re tama’e: Akia, kanjio ty vali’o le mb’etoa.
Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Tinoi’ i rakembay ty hoe: Tsy amam-baly iraho. Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: To i asa’oy te tsy amam-baly;
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou hast spoken right, that thou hast no husband:
18 ie nanam-baly lime naho tsy vali’o i ama’o henaneoy. Mahity i enta’oy.
for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in this thou hast spoken true.
19 Hoe i rakembay tama’e, O Aba, apotako te mpitoky irehe.
The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Fitalahoan-droae’ay ty vohitse toy, fa hoe ka nahareo te e Ierosaleme ao ty toem-pitalahoa’ ondatio.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye affirm, That the place where we ought to worship is at Jerusalem.
21 Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: O rakembao, atokiso, ho tondroke ty sa tsy hitalahoa’ areo aman-dRae, ke ami’ty vohitse toy he e Ierosaleme ao.
Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour approaches, when ye shall worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem.
22 Tsy fohi’ areo ty iambanea’ areo fe fanta’ay ty italahoa’ay amy te boak’ amo Jiosio ty fandrombahañe.
Ye worship ye know not what: we worship what we do know: for salvation cometh from the Jews.
23 Fa ho tendreke ty ora, naho toe ie henaneo, te hitalaho aman-dRae an-troke naho an-katò o toe mpitalahoo; ie ro paian-dRae hitalaho ama’e.
But the hour is coming, yea, is now come, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshippers of him.
24 Arofo t’i Andrianañahare, le tsi-mahay tsy hitalaho añ’ arofo naho an-katò o mpitalaho ama’eo.
God is a Spirit: and they who worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 Hoe i rakembay tama’e: Apotako te hitotsak’ atoy t’i Mesia (i atao Norizañey); ie avy ro ho taroñe’e amantika ze he’e.
The woman saith, I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ): when he cometh, he will inform us of all things.
26 Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Ie izaho mirehak’ ama’o.
Jesus saith unto her, I that am speaking to thee am he.
27 Niloneak’ amy zao o mpiama’eo le nilatsa te ie nifanaontsy ami’ty rakemba, fe leo raike tsy nañontane aze ty hoe: Ino ty paia’o? ndra: Akore te isaontsia’o?
And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no one said, What art thou seeking? or, Why art thou talking with her?
28 Nado’ i rakembay i vatavo’ey vaho nienga mb’an-drova ao nitalily am’ondatio ty hoe:
Then the woman left her pitcher, and went into the city, and said to the men,
29 Antao hahaoniñe t’indaty nitalily amako ze fonga satako. Hera ie i Norizañey?
Come with me; behold a man, who told me all things that I ever did: is not this the Messiah?
30 Niakatse i rovay iereo, nimb’ama’e mb’eo.
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 Nanohiñ’ aze amy zao o mpiama’eo, nanao ty hoe: O Talè, mikamà.
In the mean time his disciples invited him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
32 Fe hoe ty nanoa’e: Aman-kànen-ko haneñe tsy fohi’ areo iraho.
But he said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Aa le nifamesoveso ty hoe o mpiama’eo: Hera teo ty nanjotso ama’e?
Then said his disciples to each other, Hath any person brought him ought to eat?
34 Hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iereo, Ty haneko, le ty manao ze satri’ i nañitrik’ Ahiy vaho ty hañeneke o fitoloña’eo.
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Tsy fisaontsi’ areo hao ty hoe: Mbe añe ty efa-bolañe vaho ho toly ty sabo? Inao ty itaroñako: ampiandrao fihaino, le taringìto o tetekeo t’ie rifo te ho tataheñe henanekeo.
Do ye not say, That yet there are four months, and then the harvest cometh? behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look upon the fields; for they are now white for harvest.
36 Fa mitakatse ty rima’e o mpanatakeo, naho manontom-boa ho an-kaveloñe nainai’e, soa te hitrao-pirebeke ty mpitongy naho ty mpanatake. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Izay ty mahatò ty tsara manao ty hoe: Mitongy ty raike vaho manatake ty ila’e.
For herein is the saying true, That one soweth and another reapeth.
38 Nahitriko hanatake ty tsy nimokora’ areo; o ila’eo ty nifanehake vaho niziliha’areo i nivozaha’ iareoy.
I have sent you to reap that on which ye have bestowed no labour: others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labour.
39 Aa le maro amo nte Samaria hirik’ amy rovaio ty niantok’ aze ty amy enta’ i rakembaiy nanao ty hoe: Natalili’e ahiko ze fonga sata nanoeko.
Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.
40 Aa le nimb’ ama’e mb’eo o nte Samariao nihalaly ama’e ty hañialo am’iereo, vaho niambesatse ao roe andro re.
So on this the Samaritans came to him, and besought him to abide with them: and he tarried there two days.
41 Maro ka ty niantoke ty amo tsara’eo,
And many more believed because of his own word;
42 naho nanao ty hoe amy rakembay: Tsy i saontsi’oy avao ty mampiantok’ anay, fa nahajanjiñe ka izahay, vaho rendre’ay te toe ie i Norizañey, i Mpandrombake ty voatse toiy.
and said to the woman, Now we believe, not merely on account of thy relation: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a certainty the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.
43 Ie heròne, le nienga mb’e Galilia añe.
Then after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 (Toe fa natalili’ Iesoà te tsi-vara an-tane’e ty mpitoky.)
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Aa ie nandoake e Galilia ao le nampihovae’ o nte Galiliao —ie fa niisa’ iareo o raha iaby nanoe’e e Ierosaleme añe amy sabadidakeio, toe namonje’ i sabadidakey ka iereo.
When therefore he was come into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all the things which he did at the feast: for they also had gone to the feast.
46 Aa le niherem-b’e Kana’ i Galilia t’Iesoà, mb’amy nanoe’e rano ho divay añey. Teo ty roandriañe, te natindri’ ty rare e Kapernaome ao ty ana-dahi’e.
Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain attendant on the king, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Aa ie jinanji’e te nienga Iehodà mb’e Galilia mb’eo t’Iesoà, le niheo mb’eo le nihalalia’e ty hizotso mb’eo hañafake i ana’e fa heta’ey.
This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Le hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Naho tsy mahaonim-biloñe naho halatsàñe nahareo, le tsy miantok’ avao.
Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 Fe nanoa’ i roandriañey ty hoe: O Aba, ehe mizotsoa, tsy mone hivetrake i anakoy.
The courtier said to him, Sir, come down before my child is dead.
50 Hoe t’Iesoà ama’e: Akia, veloñe i ana’oy. Natokisa’ indatiy i nitsaràe’ Iesoà ama’ey le nimpoly.
Jesus saith to him, Go home; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went home.
51 Ie nizotso mb’eo, le nifanalaka ama’e o mpitoro’eo, nitalily te veloñe i ana’ey.
And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son is recovered!
52 Aa le nañontanea’e ty ora nitsaitsaihe’e, le hoe iereo ama’e: Omale amy ora faha-fitoy te niafak’ ama’e i firemporempoañey.
Then inquired he of them the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him.
53 Nifohin-drae’e t’ie i ora nitsarà’ Iesoà ty hoe: Veloñe i ana’oy. Le niantoke re rekets’ o añ’anjomba’e iabio.
Then the father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole family.
54 Izay ty viloñe faha-roe nanoe’ Iesoà sikal’ amy niakara’e Iehodà mb’e Galilia añey.
This is again a second miracle which Jesus did, when he came from Judea into Galilee.
