Yohani 4
1 Vafalisayu vayuwini kuvya Yesu avi mukupata vawuliwa vamahele na kuvabatiza kuliku Yohani.
Now when the Lord learned that the Pharisees heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 Ndi chakaka kuvya Yesu mwene abatiza lepi, nambu vawuliwa vaki ndi vevabatizayi vandu.
(although it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples),
3 Hinu Yesu peagayuwini genago, akawuka ku Yudea na kuwuya ku Galilaya.
he left Judea and went away to Galilee.
4 Mulugendu lwenulo yamganili kuvedukila kumulima wa Samaliya.
But he had to pass through Samaria.
5 Ndi peahikili muji umonga pamulima wa Samaliya weukemiwa Sikali, papipi na mgunda wa Yakobo weampelilli mwana waki, mweikemiwa Yosefu.
So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Pandu penapo pavi na chiliva cha Yakobo, na Yesu ndava ya kutotokela na lugendu, akatama pamuhana ya chiliva. Yavili ngati lukumbi lwa muhi.
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 Kangi, akabwela mdala mmonga mkolonjinji wa ku Samaliya kunega manji. Yesu akamjovela, “Nipelayi manji ninywayi.”
When a woman from Samaria came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
8 Lukumbi lwenulo vawuliwa vaki vahambili kumuji kugula chakulya.
(For his disciples had gone into the city to buy food.)
9 Nambu mdala yula akamjovela, “Veve wa Myawudi, na nene namdala msamaliya! Uhotola wuli kuniyupa manji?” Muni Vayawudi na Vasamaliya katu vitama lepi pamonga.
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 Yesu akamyangula, “Ngati kuvya umanyayi chindu chechiwusiwa na Chapanga ndi yani mweakukujovela, ‘nipelayi manji ninywai,’ Ngawamali, kumuyupa manji gegileta wumi.”
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 Mdala yula akamjovela, “Bambu, veve wangali ndeve ya kunegela manji, na chiliva chinyoliki. Ugapata koki manji gegavi na wumi?
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 Wu, veve ukujikita wa mkulu kuliku dadi witu Yakobo? Mwene ndi mweatipelili chiliva ichi, mwene na vana vaki pamonga na mifuya yaki vanywayi manji ga chiliva ichi.”
Are yoʋ greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock?”
13 Yesu akamyangula, “Yoyoha mweinywa manji aga yati ivya na njota kavili.
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will thirst again,
15 Mdala mwenuyo akamjovela, “Bambu, unipela manji genago muni nikotoka kuvya na njota kavili na nikotoka kubwela penapa kunega manji.”
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 Yesu akamjovela, “Uhamba ukamkemela mngwana waku, ubwela nayu penapa.”
Jesus said to her, “Go call yoʋr husband and come back here.”
17 Mdala yula akayangula, “Nene nangali mgosi.” Yesu akamjovela “Uyangwili chakaka, wangali mgosi.
The woman said in response, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Yoʋ have rightly said, ‘I have no husband,’
18 Muni wavi na vagosi mhanu, na mgosi mweutama nayu hinu mgosi waku lepi. Penapo ujovili chakaka.”
for yoʋ have had five husbands, and the man yoʋ now have is not yoʋr husband; what yoʋ have said is true.”
19 Mdala yula akamjovela, “Bambu, niwona kuvya veve wa mlota wa Chapanga.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that yoʋ are a prophet.
20 Vagogo vitu vamufugamila Chapanga kuchitumbi ichi, nambu nyenye mwijova kuvya pandu pa kumuyupila Chapanga ndi ku Yelusalemu.”
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 Yesu akamjovela “Unisadika chenijova lwalabwela lukumbi nakumfugamila Dadi, panani ya chitumbi amala ku Yelusalemu kula.
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 Nyenye Vasamaliya mukumfugamila yula mwangammanya, nambu tete tikumfugamila yula mwetimumanyili, ndava muni usangula wihuma kwa Vayawudi.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
23 Nambu lukumbi lubwela, kangi lumali kubwela ndi vala vandu vevakumfugamila kwa uchakaka, yati vamfugamila Dadi mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi na chakaka. Muni dadi akuvagana vandu vamfugamila chenicho.
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 Chapanga ndi Mpungu na vandu vevamfugamila yikuvagana vamfugamila Dadi mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi na kuumanya uchakaka.”
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 Mdala yula akamjovela, “Nimanyili kuvya Msangula mweikemiwa Kilisitu ibwela. Peibwela yati akutimanyisa tete kila chindu.”
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 Yesu akamjovela, “Nene mwenilongela na veve ndi mwene.”
Jesus said to her, “I who speak to yoʋ am he.”
27 Bahapo vawuliwa vaki vakawuya, na kukangasa neju pavamuweni ilongela na mdala. Nambu kawaka mundu mweajovili, “Ugana kyani?” Amala, “Ndava kyani wilongela na mdala?”
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 Hinu, mdala yula akachileka chihulu chaki palapala na kuhamba kumuji na kuvajovela vandu,
Then the woman left her water jar, went into the town, and said to the people,
29 “Mbwela mukamlola mundu mweanijovili mambu goha genikitili! Wu, yihotoleka kuvya ndi Kilisitu Msangula?”
“Come see a man who told me everything I have ever done. Could this be the Christ?”
30 Vandu vakawuka kumuji na kumuhambila Yesu.
So they left the town and began coming to him.
31 Lukumbi lwenulo vawuliwa vaki vamyupili neju Yesu, “Muwula, ulyayi chakulya.”
In the meantime the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Nene nivii nachu chakulya chemwangachimanya nyenye.”
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
33 Vawuliwa vaki vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Wu, avi mundu mweamletili chakulya?”
So the disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat?”
34 Yesu akavajovela, “Chakulya changu ndi kuhenga geigana yula mweanitumili na kumalakisa lihengu laki.
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.
35 Nyenye mwijova, ‘Yakona miheyi mcheche ndu na lukumbi lwa kubena yati lubwela!’ Nambu nene nikuvajovela, myinula mihu ginu mlola migunda, mabenu gakangili giganikiwa kubenwa!
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 Yula mweibena ipokela luhuna lweluganikiwa kupewa kwa lihengu laki, na kuyola mabenu ndava ya wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu, muni mweimija na mbenaji vihekelela pamonga. (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 Vandu pevijova kuvya ‘Mundu mmonga imija na mundu yungi ibena, luhumu ulu ndi chakaka.’
For in this the true saying is verified: ‘One sows and another reaps.’
38 Nene navatumili nyenye mkabena changali lihengu, vangi vahengili lihengu, nambu nyenye mupatili utangatila ndava ya lihengu lavi.”
I sent you to reap what you have not labored for; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Vasamaliya vamahele pachijiji chila vamsadiki Yesu ndava ya malovi geajovili mau yula, “Anijovili mambu goha genihengili.”
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 Vasamaliya vamhambili Yesu vakamuyupa neju atama navu, namwene akatama navu magono gavili.
So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there for two days.
41 Vandu vamahele, vamsadiki Yesu ndava ya malovi gaki.
And many more believed because of his word.
42 Vakamjovela mdala yula, “Tete tisadika, nambu lepi ndava ya malovi gaku, muni tavete tiyuwini na timanyili kuvya mwenuyu ndi chakaka Msangula wa vandu va pamulima.”
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 Pagamaliki magono gavili, Yesu akawuka penapo, akahamba ku Galilaya.
After two days, he departed from there and went to Galilee.
44 Muni Yesu mwene ajovili hotohoto kuvya, “Mlota wa Chapanga nakuyidakiliwa pamulima waki.”
(For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.)
45 Hinu peahikili ku Galilaya, Vagalilaya vamahele vampokili. Ndava vagawene goha geahengili ku Yelusalemu, muni navene vavi kukoko kumselebuko wa Pasaka.
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 Kangi Yesu ahikili kavili ku Kana, kumuji wa Galilaya, pandu peang'anamwisi manji kuvya divayi. Kwenuko kwavi na chilongosi mmonga wa chinkosi mweavi na mwana waki mtamu ku Kapelanaumu.
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 Chilongosi yula peayuwini kuvya Yesu ahumili ku Yudea na kuhika ku Galilaya, akamhambila na kumuyupa ahamba akamlamisa mwana waki mweavi mulung'olelu.
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 Yesu akamjovela, “Nyenye changalola ulangisu na gachinamtiti katu mwisadika lepi!”
Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will certainly not believe.”
49 Yula chilongosi akamjovela, “Bambu, chondi tihamba kwakona mwana vangu kufwa.”
The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my boy dies.”
50 Yesu akamjovela, “Uhambayi, mwana waku yati ilama.” Mundu yula akasadika malovi ga Yesu, akahamba.
Jesus said to him, “Go; yoʋr son will live.” And the man believed what Jesus said to him and went on his way.
51 Peavi akona munjila akakonganeka na vatumisi vaki, vakamjovela kuvya mwana waku alamili!
As he was going back down to his house, his servants met him and told him, “Yoʋr son is alive.”
52 Mwene akavakota lukumbi msongolo pealamili, vene vakamyangula, “Golo saa saba ya muhi, utamu wamuhumili.”
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 Dadi yula akamanya kuvya lwavi lukumbi lulolo, Yesu peamjovili “Mwana waku yati ilama.” Penapo mwene pamonga na valongo vaki vakamsadika Yesu.
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 Wenuwu wavi ulangisu wa kukangasa weahengili Yesu peawukili ku Yudea kuhamba ku Galilaya.
This was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
