Hoani 4
1 A, no ka mohio te Ariki, kua rongo nga Parihi, ko nga akonga a Ihu i mea ai, i iriiri ai, he tokomaha atu i a Hoani,
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 He ahakoa ra ehara i a Ihu nana i iriiri, na ana akonga ia,
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Ka mahue a Huria i a ia, a hoki ana ano ki Kariri.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Na, ko te ara mona i tika na Hamaria.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 A ka haere ia ki tetahi pa o Hamaria, ko Haika te ingoa, e patata ana ki te wahi i hoatu e Hakopa ki tana tama, ki a Hohepa.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Kei reira hoki te puna a Hakopa. Na kua ngenge a Ihu i te haerenga, heoi noho ana ia ki te taha o te puna: a meake ko te ono o nga haora.
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 Ka haere mai tetahi wahine o Hamaria ki te utu wai: ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Homai he wai moku.
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Kua riro hoki ana akonga ki te pa, ki te hoko kai.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Na ko te meatanga a te wahine o Hamaria ki a ia, he aha koe, he Hurai na koe, ka tono mai ai i te wai i ahau, he wahine nei ahau no Hamaria? kahore hoki e tata ana nga Hurai ki nga Hamarai.
"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 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Me i matau koe ki ta te Atua e homai ai, ki tenei hoki e mea nei ki a koe, Homai he wai moku; penei kua tono koe ki a ia, a kua hoatu e ia te wai ora ki a koe.
"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 Ka mea te wahine ki a ia, E kara, kahore au mea hei utu wai, he hohonu ano te puna: no hea tena wai ora au?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 He nui oti koe i to matou matua, i a Hakopa, i homai ai te puna ki a matou, inu ana ia i konei, ratou ko ana tamariki, me ana kararehe?
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 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E mate ano i te wai te tangata e inu ana i tenei wai:
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Ka mea te wahine ki a ia, E kara, homai ki ahau tenei wai, kei mate ahau i te wai, kei haere mai hoki ki konei rawa utu ai
"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 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Tikina, karangatia to tahu, ka hoki mai ai.
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Ka whakahoki te wahine, ka mea, Kahore aku tahu. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, He korero tika tau, Kahore aku tahu:
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Ina hoki kua tokorima au tahu; ko ia i a koe nei ehara i te tahu nau: he pono tenei korero au.
"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 Ka mea te wahine ki a ia, E kara, e kite ana ahau he poropiti koe.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 I karakia o matou matua i runga i tenei maunga; a e mea ana koutou, Ko Hiruharama te wahi e tika ai te karakia.
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E tai, whakapono ki ahau, meake puta te wa, e kore ai koutou e karakia ki te Matua i runga i tenei maunga, e kore ano i Hiruharama.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Kahore koutou e mohio ki ta koutou e karakia nei: e matau ana matou ki ta matou e karakia nei; no nga Hurai nei hoki te ora.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Otira meake puta te wa, a tenei ano, e karakia ai nga kaikarakia pono ki te Matua i runga i te wairua, i te pono: e rapu ana hoki te Matua ki te pera hei karakia ki a ia.
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 He Wairua te Atua: me karakia hoki nga kaikarakia ki a ia i runga i te wairua, i te pono.
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Ka mea te wahine ki a ia, E matau ana ahau kei te haere mai te Mihaia, e kiia nei ko te Karaiti, ka tae mai ia, mana nga mea katoa e korero ki a tatou.
"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 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ko ahau ano ia e korero nei ki a koe.
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Na ka puta i reira ana akonga, ka miharo ki tana korerotanga ki te wahine: heoi kihai tetahi i mea, He aha tau e rapu? he aha koe ka korero ai ki a ia?
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 Na ka whakarerea e te wahine tana ipu, a haere ana ki te pa, ka mea ki nga tangata,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 Haere mai, kia kite i te tangata i korerotia mai ai ki ahau nga mea katoa i mea ai ahau: ehara ranei tenei i a te Karaiti?
"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 Ka puta ratou ki waho o te pa, a ka ahu mai ki a ia.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 I taua takiwa ano ka tohe nga akonga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e kai ra.
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Otira ka mea ia ki a ratou, he kai ano taku hei kai maku, kahore koutou e matau.
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Na ka mea nga akonga tetahi ki tetahi, I kawea mai ranei e tetahi he kai mana?
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ko taku kai tenei, ko te mea i ta toku kaitono e pai ai, kia whakaotia hoki tana mahi.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 E kore ianei koutou e mea, Kia wha atu nga marama, a ka taea te kotinga? Nana, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kia ara ake o koutou kanohi, titiro ki nga mara; kua ma noa ake: ko te kotinga tenei.
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 Ka whiwhi te kaikokoti ki te utu, ka kohia ano hoki e ia nga hua mo te ora tonu: kia hari tahi ai te kairui raua ko te kaikokoti. (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 Na konei hoki i pono ai taua ki, E rui ana tetahi, e kokoti ana tetahi.
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 I tonoa koutou e ahau ki te kokoti i te mea kihai i mahia e koutou: he tangata ke nana i mahi, a kua uru koutou ki a ratou mahi.
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 A he tokomaha nga Hamari o taua pa i whakapono ki a ia, mo te ki a te wahine i mea ra, I korerotia mai e ia ki ahau nga mea katoa i mea ai ahau.
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 A, no ka tae nga Hamari ki a ia, ka mea kia noho ia ki a ratou: a e rua nga ra i noho ai ia ki reira.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Na hira noa ake nga tangata i whakapono, he mea hoki na tana kupu;
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 I mea ano ki te wahine, Ehara i te mea na tau kupu i whakapono ai matou inaianei: kua rongo nei hoki matou ake, a ka matau, ko te Karaiti pu tenei, ko te Kaiwhakaora o te ao.
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 Ka pahure aua ra e rua, ka turia atu e ia i reira, a haere ana ki Kariri.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Ko Ihu tonu hoki nana te ki, Kahore he honore o te poropiti i tona kainga ake.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Heoi, i tona taenga ki Kariri, ka whakamanuhiritia ia e nga tangata o Kariri, i kite hoki ratou i nga mea katoa i meatia e ia ki Hiruharama i te hakari: i haere hoki ratou ki te hakari.
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 A ka tae ano a Ihu ki Kana o Kariri, ki te wahi i meatia ai e ia te wai hei waina. Na ko tetahi tangata a te kingi, kei Kaperenauma tana tama e mate ana.
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 A, no ka rongo ia kua tae mai a Ihu i Huria ki Kariri, ka haere ki a ia, ka inoi ki a ia kia haere ia ki te whakaora i tana tama; meake hoki marere.
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 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te kahore koutou e kite i nga tohu, i nga merekara, e kore rawa koutou e whakapono.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Ka mea te tangata a te kingi ki a ia, E te Ariki, haere iho i te mea kahore ano kia mate noa taku tamaiti.
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Haere; kua ora tau tama. Na whakapono ana te tangata ki te kupu i korerotia e Ihu ki a ia, a haere ana.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 A, i a ia e haere ana, ka tutaki ana pononga ki a ia, ka korero, Kua ora tau tamaiti.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Na ka ui ia ki a ratou ki te haora i matutu ake ai ia. Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Nonanahi, no te whitu o nga haora, i mutu ai tona ka.
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Na ka mohio te papa, ko te tino haora ia i mea ai a Ihu ki a ia, Kua ora tau tama: a whakapono ana ia, ratou ko tona whare katoa.
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 Ko te rua ano tenei o nga merekara i meatia e Ihu, i muri i tona haerenga i Huria ki Kariri.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
