< UJohane 4 >
1 Kwathi-ke iNkosi isisazi ukuthi abaFarisi sebezwile ukuthi uJesu wenza wabhabhathiza abafundi abanengi kuloJohane,
Farisitɔwo se be Yesu le nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔm fũu, eye wòle mawutsi dem ta na amewo tsɔ wu Yohanes,
2 lanxa uJesu ngokwakhe wayengabhabhathizi, kodwa abafundi bakhe,
togbɔ be menye Yesu ŋutɔe le mawutsi dem ta na amewo o, ke boŋ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawoe.
3 wasuka eJudiya, wasuka waya futhi eGalili.
Esi Yesu se nya sia la, edzo le Yudea, hetrɔ yi Galilea.
4 Kodwa kwakumele ukuthi adabule eSamariya.
Enɔ na Yesu be wòato Samaria hafi ayi Galilea.
5 Wafika-ke emzini weSamariya okuthiwa yiSikari, eduze lesiqinti uJakobe asinika indodana yakhe uJosefa;
Le ŋdɔ ga wuieve me lɔƒo la, eva ɖo Samariatɔwo ƒe du aɖe si woyɔna be Sikar la me, si te ɖe anyigba si Yakob na via Yosef la ŋu.
6 lomthombo kaJakobe wawulapho. Ngakho uJesu ekhathele ngohambo wahlala ngokunjalo emthonjeni. Kwakungaba lihola lesithupha.
Yakob ƒe vudo la le afi sia. Vudo sia le anyigba si Yakob tsɔ na via Yosef la dzi. Le mɔ legbe si wòzɔ kple ɖeɖiteameŋu ta la, Yesu nɔ anyi ɖe vudoa gbɔ be yeadzudzɔ. Anɔ gaƒoƒo adelia me.
7 Kwafika owesifazana evela eSamariya ukuzakukha amanzi; uJesu wathi kuye: Nginathisa.
Eteƒe medidi o la, Samaria nyɔnu aɖe va be yeadu tsi. Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Àte ŋu ana tsi aɖem manoa?”
8 (Ngoba abafundi bakhe babehambile baya emzini, ukuze bathenge ukudla.)
(Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo yi kɔƒea me yi nuɖuɖu ƒle ge.)
9 Ngakho owesifazana umSamariya wathi kuye: Kungani wena ungumJuda ucela ukunatha kimi, owesifazana ongumSamariya? Ngoba amaJuda awalabudlelwano lamaSamariya.
Samaria nyɔnu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Yudatɔ nènye, eye menye Samariatɔ. Aleke wò Yudatɔ, nèle tsi biam nye Samaria nyɔnu be yeano?” (Elabena Yudatɔwo kple Samariatɔwo menyina o.)
10 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Aluba ubusazi isipho sikaNkulunkulu, lokuthi ungubani othi kuwe: Nginathisa; ubuzacela kuye, njalo ubezakunika amanzi aphilayo.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ne ɖe nènya Mawu ƒe nunana kple ame si ƒomevi le tsi biam wò la, anye ne èbiae, eye wòana agbetsi wò.”
11 Owesifazana wathi kuye: Nkosi, kawulalutho lokukha, lomgodi uyatshona; uwathethe ngaphi pho amanzi aphilayo?
Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, vudo sia goglo, eye tsikunu mele asiwò be nàtsɔ aku tsii le eme o. Afi ka nèle agbetsi la kpɔ ge le?
12 Wena umkhulu yini kulobaba wethu uJakobe, owasinika umgodi, wanatha kuwo yena, labantwana bakhe, lemihlambi yakhe?
Gawu la, ɖe nède ŋgɔ wu mía fofo Yakob, ame si ɖe vudo la na mí, eye eya ŋutɔ, viawo kple eƒe lãwo no tsi le emea?”
13 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Wonke onatha lamanzi, uzakoma futhi;
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame sia ame si no tsi sia la, tsikɔ agawui,
14 kodwa loba ngubani onatha amanzi mina engizamnika wona, kasoze ome kuze kube laphakade; kodwa amanzi engizamnika wona azakuba ngumthombo wamanzi phakathi kwakhe ogobhozela empilweni elaphakade. (aiōn , aiōnios )
gake ame si ano tsi si manae la, tsikɔ magawui o. Le nyateƒe me la, tsi si manae la azu agbetsi, anɔ sisim le eme si ahe agbe mavɔ vɛ.” (aiōn , aiōnios )
15 Owesifazana wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngipha lawomanzi, ukuze ngingomi, ngingabe ngiseza lapha ukukha.
Nyɔnu la gblɔ na Yesu be, “Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, na tsi sia ƒe ɖem, be tsikɔ magawum ne mava nɔ tsi kum le afi sia gbe sia gbe o.”
16 UJesu wathi kuye: Hamba, ubize umkakho, uze lapha.
Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàyɔ srɔ̃wò vɛ.”
17 Owesifazana waphendula wathi: Kangilandoda. UJesu wathi kuye: Utsho kuhle ukuthi: Kangilandoda;
Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Srɔ̃ mele asinye o.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Èto nyateƒe esi nègblɔ be srɔ̃ mele ye si o.
18 ngoba usuke waba lamadoda amahlanu, le olayo khathesi kayisiyo indoda yakho; lokhu ukutsho uqinisile.
Elabena èɖe ŋutsu atɔ̃ kpɔ, eye ame si gbɔ nèle fifia hã la, menye srɔ̃wò wònye o.” Esia nye nyateƒe.
19 Owesifazana wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngiyabona ukuthi wena ungumprofethi.
Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, mexɔe se be Nyagblɔɖilae nènye.
20 Obaba bethu babekhonza kulintaba; kodwa lina lithi iseJerusalema indawo lapho okufanele umuntu akhonze khona.
Nu ka ta mi Yudatɔwo miegblɔna be Yerusalem kokoko wòle be woasubɔ Mawu le, evɔ mí Samariatɔwo hã míebe ele be woasubɔ Mawu le to sia dzi, elabena afi siae mía tɔgbuiwo subɔ Mawu le?”
21 UJesu wathi kuye: Mama, kholwa kimi, ukuthi ihola liyeza, lapho elizakhonza uBaba kungeyisikho kulintaba, kumbe eJerusalema.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyɔnu, xɔ dzinye se be ɣeyiɣi aɖe gbɔna, esi womagasubɔ Fofo la le to sia dzi alo le Yerusalem o.
22 Lina likhonza elingakwaziyo; thina sikhonza esikwaziyo; ngoba usindiso luvela kumaJuda.
Mi Samariatɔwo la, miesubɔa nu si mienya o, ke míawo la, míesubɔa nu si míenya, elabena xɔxɔ la tso Yudatɔwo gbɔ.
23 Kodwa ihola liyeza njalo seliyilo, lapho abakhonzi abaqotho bazakhonza uBaba ngomoya langeqiniso; ngoba-ke uBaba udinga abanjalo abamkhonzayo.
Gake ɣeyiɣi aɖe gbɔna, eye wòde azɔ be nyateƒe subɔsubɔwɔlawo woasubɔ Fofo la le gbɔgbɔ kple nyateƒe me, elabena Fofo la dia subɔla siawo tɔgbi.
24 UNkulunkulu unguMoya; lalabo abamkhonzayo, bafanele ukukhonza ngomoya langeqiniso.
Mawu nye Gbɔgbɔ, eye ame siwo le esubɔm la, ele be woasubɔe le gbɔgbɔ kple nyateƒe me.”
25 Owesifazana wathi kuye: Ngiyazi ukuthi uMesiya uyeza okuthiwa nguKristu; nxa lo esefikile, uzasitshela konke.
Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Menya be Mesia” (si woyɔna be Kristo la) “le vava ge. Ne eva la aɖe nu sia nu gɔme na mí.”
26 UJesu wathi kuye: Mina nginguye, okhuluma lawe.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee.”
27 Kwathi ngalesosikhathi bafika abafundi bakhe, bamangala ukuthi wayekhuluma lowesifazana; kodwa kakho owathi: Udingani? Kumbe: Ukhulumelani laye?
Esi wògblɔ nya sia vɔ teti ko la, eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va do, eye wòwɔ nuku na wo be Yesu nɔ dze ɖom kple nyɔnu aɖe, gake wo dometɔ aɖeke mebia be, “Nu ka dim nèle?” alo “Nu ka ta nèle dze ɖom kple nyɔnu la ɖo?” o.
28 Ngakho owesifazana wasetshiya inkonxa yakhe, wasesuka waya emzini, wathi ebantwini:
Nyɔnu la gblẽ eƒe tsize la ɖe vudoa to, eye wòtrɔ yi dua me ɖagblɔ na amewo be,
29 Wozani, libone umuntu, ongitshele konke engakwenzayo; kambe kayisuye yini uKristu lo?
“Miva kpɔ ŋutsu aɖe si gblɔ nu siwo katã mewɔ kpɔ la nam ɖa. Ɖe manye eyae nye Kristo la oa?”
30 Ngakho baphuma emzini, beza kuye.
Ale amewo tso dua me va be yewoakpɔe.
31 Kusenjalo abafundi bamncenga besithi: Rabi, dlana.
Yesu ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe kuku nɛ bena, “Nufiala, va ɖu nu.”
32 Kodwa wathi kubo: Mina ngilokudla engikudlayo lina elingakwaziyo.
Ke Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nuɖuɖu le asinye, esi ŋu miawo mienya nu le o.”
33 Basebekhulumisana abafundi besithi: Kambe ukhona omlethele ukudla?
Ke nusrɔ̃lawo bia le wo nɔewo dome be, “Ɖe ame aɖe tsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ nɛa?”
34 UJesu wathi kubo: Ukudla kwami kuyikuthi ngenze intando yongithumileyo, lokuthi ngiqede umsebenzi wakhe.
Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nye nuɖuɖue nye be mawɔ Mawu, ame si dɔm ɖa la ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu, eye mawu dɔ si wòdɔm la wɔwɔ nu.
35 Kalitsho yini ukuthi: Kuseselenyanga ezine ukuthi kufike ukuvuna? Khangelani, ngithi kini: Phakamisani amehlo enu, libone amasimu, ngoba asehle emhlophe elungele isivuno.
Menye miawoe gblɔna be, ‘Esusɔ ɣleti ene ne nuŋeɣi naɖo oa’? Miwu mo dzi ne miakpɔ agblewo dzi ɖa! Nukuawo tsi na ŋeŋe.
36 Njalo ovunayo wemukela umvuzo, njalo abuthe isithelo empilweni elaphakade; ukuze bobabili ohlanyelayo lovunayo bathokoze bendawonye. (aiōnios )
Fifia gɔ̃ hã la, ame si ŋea nu la xɔa fetu, eye wòŋea nukuwo hena agbe mavɔ la, be nuƒãla kple nuŋela siaa nakpɔ dzidzɔ. (aiōnios )
37 Ngoba kulokhu ilizwi liqinisile elokuthi: Omunye ngohlanyelayo, lomunye ngovunayo.
Esiae wɔe be nya si wogblɔ ɖi be, ‘Ame aɖe ƒãa nu, eye ame bubu va ŋena’ la nye nyateƒe.
38 Mina ngalithuma ukuvuna lokho elingakusebenzelanga; abanye basebenzile, lina-ke selingenile emsebenzini wabo.
Nye la, medɔ mi be miayi aɖaŋe nu le afi si mieƒã nu ɖo o la; ame bubuwoe ƒã nua hafi miawo mieyi ɖaŋe.”
39 Njalo amaSamariya amanengi akulowomuzi akholwa kuye ngenxa yelizwi lowesifazana, owafakaza esithi: Ungitshele konke engikwenzileyo.
Samariatɔ geɖewo xɔ Yesu dzi se ɖe nya si nyɔnu la gblɔ na wo be, “Egblɔ nu sia nu si mewɔ kpɔ la nam la ta.” la ta.
40 Kwathi esefikile kuye amaSamariya, amncenga ukuthi ahlale lawo; wasehlala khona insuku ezimbili.
Azɔ esi Samariatɔwo va egbɔ la, woɖe kuku nɛ be, wòanɔ yewo gbɔ, eye wònɔ wo gbɔ ŋkeke eve
41 Abanengi bengezelelwa bakholwa ngenxa yelizwi lakhe.
Le eƒe nyawo ta la, ame geɖewo xɔ edzi se.
42 Basebesithi kowesifazana: Kasisakholwa ngenxa yokutsho kwakho; ngoba sesizizwele thina, siyazi ukuthi oqotho lo unguMsindisi womhlaba, uKristu.
Ale wova gblɔ na nyɔnu si do goe gbã le vudoa to la be, “Míawo hã míexɔ edzi se, elabena míawo ŋutɔ hã míese nya geɖewo tso eƒe nu me, ke menye le wò ɖaseɖiɖi ɖeɖe ko ta o. Míenya be ame siae nye xexea me ƒe Ɖela la vavã.”
43 Kwathi emva kwensuku ezimbili wasuka lapho, waya eGalili;
Le ŋkeke eve megbe la, edzo yi Galilea.
44 ngoba uJesu ngokwakhe wafakaza ukuthi umprofethi kaladumo elizweni lakibo.
(Yesu ŋutɔ gblɔ be nyagblɔɖila aɖeke mekpɔa bubu le eya ŋutɔ dedu me o.)
45 Wathi esefikile eGalili, amaGalili amemukela, ebonile konke akwenzayo eJerusalema emkhosini; ngoba lawo ayeyile emkhosini.
Esi wòyi Galilea la, Galileatɔwo xɔe nyuie, elabena wokpɔ nukunu siwo katã wòwɔ le Yerusalem, esi woyi ɖaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le afi ma.
46 UJesu wafika-ke futhi eKana yeGalili, lapho enza khona amanzi aba liwayini. Kwakukhona othile owesikhosini, ondodana yakhe yayigula eKapenawume.
Yesu gava Kana le Galilea, afi si wòtrɔ tsi wòzu wain le la. Afi ma wòdo go aʋafia aɖe le. Ŋutsu sia ƒe vi le dɔ lém le Kapernaum.
47 Esezwile ukuthi uJesu usefikile eGalili evela eJudiya, waya kuye, wamncenga ukuthi ehle, asilise indodana yakhe, ngoba yayisizaphela.
Esi ŋutsu sia se be Yesu tso Yudea va ɖo Galilea la, eyi egbɔ heɖe kuku nɛ be wòava yɔ dɔ ye viŋutsuvi si ɖo kudo nu la na ye.
48 Ngakho uJesu wathi kuye: Ngaphandle kokuthi libone izibonakaliso lezimangaliso, kalisoze likholwe.
Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mia dometɔ aɖeke maxɔ dzinye ase o, dzaa miekpɔ dzesi kple nukunuwo?”
49 Owesikhosini wathi kuye: Nkosi, yehla engakafi umntanami.
Aʋafia la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, va míyi kaba hafi vinyea naku?”
50 UJesu wathi kuye: Hamba; indodana yakho iyaphila. Umuntu wasekholwa ilizwi uJesu alikhuluma laye, wasuka wahamba.
Ke Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi aƒe me, elabena viwò la ƒe lãme sẽ.” Aʋafia la xɔ nya si Yesu gblɔ nɛ la dzi se, eye wòtrɔ dzo yina aƒe me.
51 Kwathi esesehla, inceku zakhe zamhlangabeza, zabika zathi: Umntanakho uyaphila.
Esi wònɔ mɔa dzi yina la, eƒe dɔla aɖewo va kpee hegblɔ nɛ be via ƒe lãme sẽ.
52 Wasezibuza ihola aqale ngalo ukuba ngcono. Zasezisithi kuye: Izolo ngehola lesikhombisa uqhuqho lumyekele.
Aʋafia la bia gaƒoƒo si me tututu via ƒe lãme sẽ la wo. Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Etsɔ, anɔ abe ŋdɔ ga ɖeka me ene la, asrã la vɔ nɛ.”
53 Ngakho uyise wazi ukuthi kwakungalelohola uJesu athi ngalo kuye: Indodana yakho iyaphila; wasekholwa yena lendlu yakhe yonke.
Aʋafia la ɖo ŋku edzi be gaƒoƒo ma me tututue Yesu gblɔ na ye be, “Viwò la ƒe lãme sẽ.” Ale aʋafia la kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo katã xɔ Yesu dzi se.
54 UJesu waphinda wakwenza lokhu kwaba yisibonakaliso sesibili, efikile eGalili evela eJudiya.
Esiae nye nukunu evelia si Yesu wɔ, esi wòtso Yudea va Galilea.
