John 4
1 Ibungona John-dagi mi masing henna tung-inbasing semduna baptize toure haiba Pharisee-singna tare haibasi Jisuna khangle.
Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
2 Asengbamakti Jisu masanadi makhoibu baptize touba natte mahakki tung inbasingna toubani.
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Maram asina Ibungona Judea thadoktuna Galilee-da amuk hallammi.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Ibungogi khongchat adu Samaria phaoduna chatpa tarammi.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Ibungona asum lakpada Sychar kouba Samaria-gi sahar amada thunglammi. Mapham adu Jacob-na mahakki machanupa Joseph-ta pikhiba lam machet adugi manaktani.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Jacob-ki oiramba guha adu mapham aduda leirammi; Ibungona lamsang chatpadagi waraduna guha adugi manakta phamthare. Pungpham adu numit yungba matamni.
Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.
7 Tanja aduda Samaria-gi nupi amana mapham aduda ising sokpa laklammi, maduda Ibungona mangonda hairak-i, “Eingonda thaknaba ising khara pibiyu.”
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 (Matamdu Ibungogi tung-inbasingna khunggang aduda chana thaknaba leiba chatkhibagi maramna Ibungo mathantamak leirammi.)
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Maduda nupi aduna hairak-i, “Nahakti Jihudini aduga eina Samaria-gi nupini aduga kamdouna nahakna eingonda thaknaba ising piyu hairibano?” (Jihudisingdi Samaria-gi misingna sijinnaba kol-lik sijinnade.)
"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jisuna khumlak-i, “Nahakna Tengban Mapugi khudol adu khanglamlaba aduga nangonda thaknaba ising piyu hairiba mahak adu kanano haiba khanglamlabadi, nahakna mangonda nijaramgadabani aduga mahakna nangonda hingba piba ising adu pibiramgadabani.”
"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
11 Nupi aduna hairak-i, “Ibungo, guha asisu yamna lui aduga nangonda ising sokkatnaba kon amattasu yaode aduga kadaidagi hingba piba ising adu lougadouribano?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Guha asibu piramba eikhoigi ipa ipu oiriba Jacob-tagi nahakna henna chaobra? Mahak masamak, machasing amadi mahakki sa sansingsu guha asigi ising thakkhi.”
Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"
13 Maduda Jisuna khumlak-i, “Guha asigi ising thakpa mi khudingmak amuk khouranglakkani
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Nupi aduna hairak-i, “Ibungo, eingonda khourangba amuk leitanaba aduga mapham asida ising sokpa amuk laktanaba eingonda ising adu pibiyu.”
"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."
16 Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Chatlu, nahakki napuroiba kouraklaga mapham asida lak-u.”
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Nupi aduna khumlak-i, “Eigi ipuroiba leijade.” Maduda Jisuna hairak-i, “Nahakki napuroiba leite haibadu achumbani.
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Achumbamakti, nahakki napuroiba manga leirammi aduga nahakka houjik leiminnariba nupa adusu nahakki napuroiba natte. Nahakna houjik haikhibadu yamna chummi.”
"for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that."
19 Nupi aduna hairak-i, “Ibungo, nahak asi Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichou ama oigani haiba eina khangjare.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Eikhoi Samaria-gi ipa ipusingnadi Gerizim chingthak asida Tengban Mapubu khurumjei adubu nakhoi Jihudisingnadi Tengban Mapu khurumgadaba maphamdi Jerusalem-da oigadabani haina karigi hairibano?”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nupi, eibu thajou, nakhoina Ipa adubu ching asida chatlaga nattraga Jerusalem-da chatlaga khurumloidaba matam adu lakli.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Nakhoi Samaria-singdi nakhoina khurumliba Mapu Ibungo mahakpu munna khangde adubu eikhoi Jihudisingdi eikhoina khurumliba Mapu Ibungo mahakpu khang-i maramdi aran-khubham asi Jihudisingdagi lakpani.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Thamoi sengna khurumjaribasingna Ipa adubu thawaida amadi achumbada khurumgadaba matam adu lakli aduga matam adu houjik oisu oiri. Ipa aduna adugumna khurumjabasing adubu thiri.
But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.
24 Tengban Mapudi Thawaini maram aduna Ibungo mahakpu khurumjabasingna thawaida amadi achumbada khurumjagadabani.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Nupi aduna Ibungoda hairak-i, “Christta kouba Messiah adu lakkani haiba eina khang-i aduga mahakna lakpa matamda mahakna eikhoida maram pumnamak loina sandokna takpigani.”
"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."
26 Adudagi Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nangonda wari sariba eihak asi mahak aduni.”
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Tanja adumaktada Jisugi tung-inbasing adu mapham aduda hallaklammi. Ibungona nupi amaga wari sanaramba adu ubada makhoi yamna ngaklammi adum oinamak “Ibungona mangondagi kari pambage?” nattraga “Ibungona karigi mahakka wari saribano?” haina makhoina Ibungoda hanglamde.
Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Nupi aduna mahakki ising pun adu guha manakta thanamlaga mahakki khunda chenkhiduna khundugi misingda hairammi,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Eina toukhi toukhiba khudingmak eingonda loina haibiba nupa ama yeng-u lao. Mahaksibu Christta adu oiramgadra?”
"Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
30 Maram aduna miyam aduna khun adudagi thoraktuna Jisugi manakta laklammi.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Cheirak aduda Jisugi tung-inbasingna Jisuda kanna haijarammi, “Oja Ibungo, khara chabiyu.”
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Maduda Ibungona khumlak-i, “Nakhoina sungkhang khangdaba eigi chanaba chinjak leire.”
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Maram aduna Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna makhoi masel amaga amaga hangnarammi, “Eikhoina chatthoklingeida kanagumba amana Ibungogi chanaba puraklamba oigadra?”
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Eigi chinjakti eibu thabirakpa Ibungo mahakki aningba touba amadi mahakki thabakpu mapung phana loisinba aduni.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Nakhoina asumna hainaba nattra, ‘Tha mari leiraga lourok tha oirani?’ Adubu eina nakhoida hairi, loubuksing asida yeng-u! Makhoi khoingang sare khaoba yare.
Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.
36 Maru hunba mahakka akhaoba mahakka punna haraominnanaba, akhaoba mahak adu khutsuman phang-i amasung lomba naidaba hingbagi mahei khomjilli. (aiōnios g166)
The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Hainaba asi achumbani, ‘Kanagumba mi amana maru hulli aduga atoppa kanagumba mi amana khao-i.’
For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
38 Nakhoina thabak suba yaorudaba loubukta khaorunanaba eina nakhoibu thare. Atoppa misingna awaba thabaksing adu subiramle aduga makhoina subirambagi kannaba adu nakhoina phangle.”
I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours."
39 “Eina toukhi toukhiba khudingmak mahakna eingonda loina haibi” haina nupi aduna haibagi maramna khun adugi Samaria macha mayam amana Jisubu thajarammi.
Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done."
40 Makhoina Ibungogi manakta lakpa matamda, Ibungobu makhoiga leiminnanaba makhoina Ibungoda kanna haijarammi, maram aduna Ibungona mapham aduda numit nini amaga leire.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Aduga atoppa mi mayam amasu Ibungona haiba wa tabadagi thajare.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Makhoina nupi aduda hairak-i, “Houjikti nahakna haiba khaktadagi eikhoina thajaba nattre adubu eikhoi isamak Ibungona haiba tajare. Tasengnamak Ibungo mahak asi taibangpan asigi Kanbiba Mapu aduni.”
and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."
43 Mapham aduda numit nini leiramlaba matungda, Jisuna Galilee-da chatlammi.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Ibungo masamakna asumna haikhi, “Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichousingdi makhoi masagi lamsingda ikai khumnabide.”
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Ibungona Galilee-da thungba matamda mapham adugi misingna Ibungobu taramna oklammi maramdi makhoina Lanthokpibagi chakkhangbagi thouramgidamak Jerusalem-da chatlubada mapham aduda Ibungona toukhiba thabak pumnamak loina makhoina ukhibagini.
When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
46 Jisuna isingbu anggur mahi olhanbikhiba mapham Galilee-gi Cana kouba khun aduda Ibungona amuk hanna chatlammi. Aduga Capernaum-da leiba ningthougi phamnaiba amagi machanupa ama narammi.
So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
47 Jisuna Judea-dagi Galilee-da lakle haiba tabadagi mahakki sigadabagi phibamda nariba machanupa adubu phahanbinaba mahakna Jisugi manakta chattuna Capernaum-da lakpinanaba haijarammi.
Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nakhoina khudamsing amadi angak angakpasing udriba phaoba nakhoina keidounungda thajaroi.”
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Phamnaiba aduna khumlak-i, “Ibungo, eigi angang adu sidringeida lakpiyu.”
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nayumda hallo, nahakki nachanupa naba pharagani.” Maduda phamnaiba aduna Jisuna mangonda haibiba wahei adu thajaduna mahakki mayumda chatpa hourammi.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Mahakna hallakpagi lambida leireingeida mahakki macha adu naba phaduna hingle haibagi pao mahakki manaisingna mangonda puraklammi.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Karamba matamda angang adu phagatlakkhibage hangbada makhoina khumlak-i, “Ngarang numit yungba matung pung ama taba matamda mahakki laihou adu khanghoudana thakhre.”
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Maduda Jisuna mangonda, “Nahakki nachanupa adu pharagani” haibikhiba pungja adumaktadani haiba mapa aduna khangle. Maram aduna mahak amadi mahakki imung manung loina Jisubu thajare.
Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.
54 Masi Jisuna Judea-dagi Galilee-da laklaba matungda touba anisuba angakpa khudamni.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
