यूहन्ना 4
1 अब जब यूहन्नाले भन्दा येशूले धेरै चेलाहरू बनाउँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो र बप्तिस्मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी फरिसीहरूले सुने भन्ने उहाँले थाहा गर्नुभयो,
When Jesus realized that the Pharisees had discovered that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John,
2 (यद्यपि येशू आफैँले बप्तिस्मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्नथ्यो, तर उहाँका चेलाहरूले बप्तिस्मा दिँदै थिए)
(although it wasn't Jesus who was baptizing, but his disciples),
3 उहाँ यहूदिया छोडेर गालीलतिर जानुभयो ।
he left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4 तर उहाँ सामरिया भएर जानु आवश्यक थियो ।
On the way he had to pass through Samaria.
5 त्यसैले, उहाँ याकूबले आफ्नो छोरा योसेफलाई दिएका जग्गाको टुक्रा नजिक रहेको सामरियाको सुखार भनिने एउटा सहरमा आउनुभयो ।
So he came to the Samaritan city of Sychar, near to the field that Jacob had given his son Joseph.
6 त्यहाँ याकूबको इनार थियो । येशू आफ्नो यात्राले थाक्नुभयो र इनारको छेउमा बस्नुभयो । यो छैठौँ घडीतिरको कुरा थियो ।
Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, who was tired from the journey, sat straight down beside the well. It was around noon.
7 एक जना सामरी स्त्री पानी लिन आइन् र येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मलाई पिउन थोरै पानी देऊ ।”
A Samaritan woman came to fetch water. Jesus said to her, “Please could you give me a drink?”
8 किनभने उहाँका चेलाहरू खानेकुरा किन्न सहरतिर गएका थिए ।
for his disciples had gone to the town to buy food.
9 त्यसपछि सामरी स्त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “तपाईं एक जना यहूदी भएर पनि म एउटी सामरी स्त्रीसँग कसरी पिउने कुरा माग्नुभएको?” किनकि यहूदीहरूले समारीहरूसँग कुनै किसिमको लेनदेन गर्दैनन् ।
“You're a Jew, and I'm a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” the woman replied, for Jews don't associate with Samaritans.
10 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्नुभयो, “यदि तिमीले परमेश्वरको वरदानलाई चिनेकी भए र ‘मलाई पिउन देऊ’ भनिरहनुहुनेलाई चिनेकी भए, तिमीले चाहिँ उनीसँग माग्ने थियौ, र उनले तिमीलाई जिउँदो पानी दिने थिए ।”
Jesus answered her, “If you only recognized God's gift, and who is asking you, ‘Please could you give me a drink?’ you would have asked him and he would have given you the water of life.”
11 स्त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन्, “महाशय, तपाईंसित बाल्टिन छैन; इनार पनि गहिरो छ । अनि तपाईंसँग जिउँदो पानी कहाँ छ त?
“Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get the water of life from?” she replied.
12 के तपाईं हाम्रा पुर्खा याकूबभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ जसले हामीलाई इनार दिनुभयो र उहाँ आफैँले पनि यही इनारबाट पानी पिउनुभयो र उहाँका सन्तानहरू र उहाँका गाईवस्तुहरूले पनि पिए?”
“Our father Jacob gave us the well. He drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock. Are you greater than he?”
13 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्नुभयो, “हरेक जसले यो पानी पिउँछ, त्यो फेरि तिर्खाउनेछ,
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks water from this well will become thirsty again.
15 स्त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, मलाई यो पानी दिनुहोस्, ताकि म फेरि तिर्खाउनेछैन र यहाँ पानी लिन आउनुपर्नेछैन ।”
“Sir,” replied the woman, “Please give me this water so I won't be thirsty, and I won't have to come here to fetch water!”
16 येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो लोग्नेलाई बोलाऊ, र यहाँ आऊ ।”
“Go and call your husband, and come back here,” Jesus told her.
17 स्त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन् र भनिन्, “मेरो लोग्ने छैन ।” येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “‘मेरो लोग्ने छैन’ भनी तिमीले साँचो भनेकी छ्यौ ।
“I don't have a husband,” the woman answered. “You're right in saying you don't have a husband,” Jesus told her.
18 किनकि तिम्रा पाँच जना लोग्ने भइसकेका छन् र अहिले भएको पनि तिम्रो लोग्ने होइन । तिमीले भनेकी कुरो साँचो हो ।”
“You've had five husbands, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. So what you say is true!”
19 स्त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, तपाईं अगमवक्ता हुनुहुन्छ भनी म देख्छु ।
“I can see you're a prophet, sir,” the woman replied.
20 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले यही पर्वतमा आराधना गरे, तर मानिसहरूले आराधना गर्नुपर्ने स्थान यरूशलेम नै हो भनी तपाईंहरू भन्नुहुन्छ ।”
“Tell me this: our ancestors worshiped here on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is where we must worship.”
21 येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “हे नारी, मलाई विश्वास गर । समय आइरहेको छ, तिमीहरूले पितालाई न यो पर्वतमा न त यरूशलेममा नै आराधना गर्नेछौ ।
Jesus replied, “Believe me the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 तिमीहरूले जे जान्दैनौ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौ । हामी जे जान्दछौँ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौं, किनकि उद्धार यहूदीहरूबाट नै आउँछ ।
You really don't know the God you're worshiping, while we worship the God we know, for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 तापनि, साँचा आराधकहरूले पितालाई आत्मा र सत्यतामा आराधना गर्ने बेला आइरहेको छ र त्यो अहिले नै हो, किनकि पिताले आफ्ना आराधकहरू हुन यस्ता मानिसहरूको खोजी गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।
But the time is coming—and in fact it's here already—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for these are the kind of worshipers the Father wants.
24 परमेश्वर आत्मा हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँलाई आराधना गर्ने मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई आत्मा र सत्यतामा आराधना गर्नुपर्छ ।”
God is Spirit, so worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
25 स्त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “(ख्रीष्ट भनिने) मसीह आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने मलाई थाहा छ, जब उहाँ आउनुहुन्छ, उहाँले हामीलाई सबै कुरा बताउनुहुनेछ ।”
The woman said, “Well, I know that the Messiah is coming,” (the one who is called Christ). “When he comes he will explain it all to us.”
26 येशूले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीसँग कुराकानी गरिरहने, म उही नै हुँ ।”
Jesus replied, “I AM—the one who is speaking to you.”
27 त्यही बेला उहाँका चेलाहरू आइपुगे । उहाँ स्त्रीसित किन कुराकानी गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी तिनीहरू चकित भइरहेका थिए, तर “तपाईं के चाहनुहुन्छ?” वा “किन तपाईं त्यससँग कुराकानी गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ?” भनी कसैले पनि भनेन ।
Just then the disciples returned. They were shocked that he was talking to a woman, but none of them asked “What are you doing?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 त्यसैले, ती स्त्रीले आफ्नो गाग्रो छोडेर सहरतिर गइन् र मानिसहरूलाई भनिन्,
The woman left her water jar behind and ran back to the town, telling the people,
29 “आओ, मैले गरेका सबै कुराहरू मलाई बताइदिनुहुने मानिसलाई हेर । उहाँ नै ख्रीष्ट हुन सक्छ, हुन सक्दैन त?”
“Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”
30 तिनीहरू सहरबाट उहाँकहाँ आए ।
So they went out of the town to go and see him.
31 त्यसै बेला चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यसो भन्दै अनुरोध गरिरहेका थिए, “रब्बी, खानुहोस् ।”
Meanwhile Jesus' disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, please eat something!”
32 तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “मसँग खानेकुरा छ जुन तिमीहरू जान्दैनौ ।”
But Jesus replied, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33 त्यसकारण, चेलाहरूले एक आपसमा भने, “उहाँलाई कुनै खानेकुरा कसैले ल्याएको छैन, ल्याएको छ र?”
“Did someone bring him food?” the disciples asked one another.
34 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “जसले मलाई पठाउनुभयो, उहाँको इच्छा र उहाँको काम पुरा गर्नु नै मेरो खानेकुरा हो ।
Jesus told them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 अझ पनि चार महिना छ र त्यसपछि कटनी गर्ने समय आउनेछ भनी के तिमीहरू भन्दैनौ? म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दै छु, हेर र खेतलाई देख, किनकि तिनीहरू कटनीको निम्ति अगि नै पाकिसकेका छन् ।
Don't you have a saying, ‘four more months until harvest?’ Open your eyes and look around! The crops in the fields are ripe, ready for harvest.
36 जसले कटनी गर्छ, त्यसले ज्याला पाउँछ र अनन्त जीवनको निम्ति फल बटुल्छ, ताकि छर्ने र कटनी गर्ने सँगसँगै रमाउन सकून् । (aiōnios g166)
The reaper is being paid and harvesting a crop for eternal life so that both the sower and the reaper can celebrate. (aiōnios g166)
37 किनकि एउटाले छर्छ र अर्काले कटनी गर्छ भन्ने यो भनाइ यसैमा साँचो छ ।
So the proverb ‘one sows, another reaps,’ is true.
38 तिमीहरूले काम नगरेका कुरा कटनी गर्न मैले तिमीहरूलाई पठाएँ । अरूहरूले काम गरेका छन्, र तिमीहरू उनीहरूका श्रममा प्रवेश गरेका छौ ।”
I sent you to reap what you didn't work for. Others did the hard work and you have reaped the benefits of what they did.”
39 “मैले गरेका सबै कुरा उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो” भनी स्त्रीले दिएको गवाहीले गर्दा त्यस सहरमा बसोबास गर्ने धेरै सामरीहरूले उहाँमा विश्वास गरे ।
Many Samaritans from that town trusted in him because of what the woman said: “He told me everything I ever did.”
40 त्यसैले, जब सामरीहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूसँग बस्न आग्रह गरे र उहाँ त्यहाँ दुई दिन बस्नुभयो ।
So when they came to see him they pleaded with him to stay with them. He stayed for two days,
41 उहाँको वचनको कारणले गर्दा धेरै जनाले विश्वास गरे ।
and because of what he told them many more trusted in him.
42 तिनीहरूले ती स्त्रीलाई भने, “तिमीले भनेकी कारणले हामी विश्वास गर्दैनौँ, किनकि हामी आफैँले सुनेका छौँ र हामी जान्दछौँ, कि उहाँ नै संसारका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ ।”
They said to the woman, “Now our trust in him isn't just because of what you told us but because we have heard him for ourselves. We're convinced that he really is the Savior of the world.”
43 दुई दिनपछि उहाँ त्यहाँबाट गालील प्रस्थान गर्नुभयो ।
After the two days he continued on to Galilee.
44 किनकि येशू आफैँले घोषणा गर्नुभयो, कि अगमवक्तालाई उसको आफ्नै गाउँमा आदर गरिँदैन ।
Jesus himself had made the comment that a prophet is not respected in his own country.
45 जब उहाँ गालीलमा आउनुभयो, गालीलीहरूले उहाँलाई स्वागत गरे । यरूशलेमको चाडमा उहाँले गर्नुभएका सबै कुराहरू तिनीहरूले देखेका थिए, किनकि तिनीहरू पनि चाडमा गएका थिए ।
But when he arrived in Galilee, the people welcomed him, because they had also been at the Passover feast and had seen everything he'd done in Jerusalem.
46 अब उहाँले पानीलाई दाखमद्यमा परिणत गर्नुभएको गालीलको काना सहरमा उहाँ फेरि आउनुभयो । त्यहाँ एक जना राजकीय अधिकारी थिए जसको छोरा कर्फनहुममा बिरामी थिए ।
He visited Cana in Galilee again, where he had turned water into wine. Nearby in the town of Capernaum lived a royal official whose son was very sick.
47 जब येशू यहूदियाबाट गालील आउनुभएको तिनले सुने, तिनी येशूकहाँ गए र उहाँ आएर तिनका मर्न लागेका छोरालाई निको पारिदिनुहोस् भनी उहाँलाई बिन्ती गरे ।
When he heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and begged him to come and heal his son who was close to death.
48 तब येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “चिह्नहरू र आश्चर्यकर्महरू नदेखेसम्म तिमीहरूले विश्वास गर्नेछैनौ ।”
“Unless you see signs and wonders you people really won't trust me,” said Jesus.
49 ती अधिकारीले उहाँलाई भने, “महाशय, मेरो छोरो मर्नुअगावै आउनुहोस् ।”
“Lord, just come before my child dies,” the official pleaded.
50 येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्छ ।” येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभएको वचन तिनले विश्वास गरे, र तिनी आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
“Go on home,” Jesus told him. “Your son will live!” The man trusted what Jesus told him and left for home.
51 तिनी जाँदै गर्दा, तिनका छोरो जीवित भए भन्दै तिनका नोकरहरूले तिनलाई भेटे ।
While he was on his way, his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and recovering.
52 यसकारण, उसको सुधार कति बेलादेखि भएको थियो भनी तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हिजो सातौँ घडीमा उसलाई ज्वरोले छोड्यो ।”
He asked them what time it was when his son began to get better. “Yesterday at one p.m. the fever left him,” they told him.
53 त्यसपछि यो येशूले “तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्छ” भन्नुभएको घडी थियो भन्ने ती बुबाले महसुस गरे । यसकारण तिनी र तिनका आफ्ना सम्पूर्ण घरानाले विश्वास गरे ।
Then the father realized this was the precise time when Jesus had told him, “Your son will live!” So he and everyone in his household trusted in Jesus.
54 येशू यहूदियाबाट गालीलमा आउँनुहुँदा उहाँले गर्नुभएको यो दोस्रो चिह्न थियो ।
This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
