Jaona 4
1 Aa ie niarofoana’ i Talè te jinanji’ o Fariseoo te namory naho nandipotse mpioke maro te amy Jaona t’Iesoà,
Now when the Lord learned that the Pharisees heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (Toe tsy nampilipotse t’Iesoà, fa o mpiama’eo.)
(although it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples),
3 le nienga Iehodà re nibalike mb’e Galilia añe,
he left Judea and went away to Galilee.
4 f’ie tsi-mete tsy niranga i Samaria;
But he had to pass through Samaria.
5 aa le nivotrak’ an-drova’ i Samaria atao Sikara re, marine’ ty toetse natolo’ Iakobe am’ Iosefe ana’e.
So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Teo ty vovo’ Iakobe. Nivozak’ amy fañavelo’ey t’Iesoà le niambesatse amy vovoñey; ie fa ho oram-paheneñe.
Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, wearied as he was from the journey, sat by 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.
When a woman from Samaria came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
8 (fa nihitrik’ mb’an-drova añe o mpiama’eo hikalo mahakama.)
(For his disciples had gone into the city to buy food.)
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.)
So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that yoʋ, a Jew, ask for water to drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings 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 her, “If yoʋ knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to yoʋ, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ yoʋ would have asked him, and he would have given yoʋ living 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 said to him, “Sir, yoʋ do not even have a bucket to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then can yoʋ get this living water?
12 Ihe hao ro bey te am’ Iakobe raen-tika nanolots’ anay ty vovoñe tìañe, ie nikamae’ o ana’eo naho o hare’eo?
Are yoʋ greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock?”
13 Natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe, Ze minoñe ty rano toy mbe haran-drano avao,
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will 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 said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty again and have to come here to draw water.”
16 Hoe re tama’e: Akia, kanjio ty vali’o le mb’etoa.
Jesus said to her, “Go call yoʋr husband and come back here.”
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 said in response, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Yoʋ have rightly said, ‘I have no husband,’
18 ie nanam-baly lime naho tsy vali’o i ama’o henaneoy. Mahity i enta’oy.
for yoʋ have had five husbands, and the man yoʋ now have is not yoʋr husband; what yoʋ have said is true.”
19 Hoe i rakembay tama’e, O Aba, apotako te mpitoky irehe.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that yoʋ are a prophet.
20 Fitalahoan-droae’ay ty vohitse toy, fa hoe ka nahareo te e Ierosaleme ao ty toem-pitalahoa’ ondatio.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in 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 said to her, “Woman, believe me, an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 Tsy fohi’ areo ty iambanea’ areo fe fanta’ay ty italahoa’ay amy te boak’ amo Jiosio ty fandrombahañe.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation is 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 an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such people to worship him.
24 Arofo t’i Andrianañahare, le tsi-mahay tsy hitalaho añ’ arofo naho an-katò o mpitalaho ama’eo.
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and 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 said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Ie izaho mirehak’ ama’o.
Jesus said to her, “I who speak to yoʋ 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?
Just then his disciples came back, and they were amazed that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, “What do yoʋ want?” or, “Why are yoʋ speaking 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 water jar, went into the town, and said to the people,
29 Antao hahaoniñe t’indaty nitalily amako ze fonga satako. Hera ie i Norizañey?
“Come see a man who told me everything I have ever done. Could this be the Christ?”
30 Niakatse i rovay iereo, nimb’ama’e mb’eo.
So they left the town and began coming to him.
31 Nanohiñ’ aze amy zao o mpiama’eo, nanao ty hoe: O Talè, mikamà.
In the meantime the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Fe hoe ty nanoa’e: Aman-kànen-ko haneñe tsy fohi’ areo iraho.
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
33 Aa le nifamesoveso ty hoe o mpiama’eo: Hera teo ty nanjotso ama’e?
So the disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something 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 said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete 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 you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and see that the fields are already ripe 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)
He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Izay ty mahatò ty tsara manao ty hoe: Mitongy ty raike vaho manatake ty ila’e.
For in this the true saying is verified: ‘One sows and another reaps.’
38 Nahitriko hanatake ty tsy nimokora’ areo; o ila’eo ty nifanehake vaho niziliha’areo i nivozaha’ iareoy.
I sent you to reap what you have not labored for; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
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.
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman's testimony: “He told me everything I have ever 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 when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there for two days.
41 Maro ka ty niantoke ty amo tsara’eo,
And many more believed because of his 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.
So they said to the woman, “It is no longer because of yoʋr report that we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
43 Ie heròne, le nienga mb’e Galilia añe.
After two days, he departed from there and went to Galilee.
44 (Toe fa natalili’ Iesoà te tsi-vara an-tane’e ty mpitoky.)
(For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.)
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 he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him because they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem 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.
Once more Jesus went to Cana of Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in 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.
When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for his son was about to die.
48 Le hoe t’Iesoà tama’e: Naho tsy mahaonim-biloñe naho halatsàñe nahareo, le tsy miantok’ avao.
Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will certainly not believe.”
49 Fe nanoa’ i roandriañey ty hoe: O Aba, ehe mizotsoa, tsy mone hivetrake i anakoy.
The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my boy dies.”
50 Hoe t’Iesoà ama’e: Akia, veloñe i ana’oy. Natokisa’ indatiy i nitsaràe’ Iesoà ama’ey le nimpoly.
Jesus said to him, “Go; yoʋr son will live.” And the man believed what Jesus said to him and went on his way.
51 Ie nizotso mb’eo, le nifanalaka ama’e o mpitoro’eo, nitalily te veloñe i ana’ey.
As he was going back down to his house, his servants met him and told him, “Yoʋr son is alive.”
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.
So he asked them the hour when he began to get better. They said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour 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 realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Yoʋr son will live.” So he believed, along with his entire household.
54 Izay ty viloñe faha-roe nanoe’ Iesoà sikal’ amy niakara’e Iehodà mb’e Galilia añey.
This was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
