Yohannis 4
1 Egaa Yesuus Yohannis caalaa barattoota akka baayʼifatee fi akka cuuphe Fariisonni dhagaʼuu isaanii Gooftaan ni beeke;
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 taʼus barattoota isaatu cuuphaa ture malee Yesuus ofii isaatii hin cuuphine.
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Inni Yihuudaa dhiisee amma illee Galiilaatti deebiʼe.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Innis Samaariyaa keessa darbuu qaba ture.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Kanaafuu gara magaalaa Samaariyaa kan Siikaar jedhamu tokkoo dhufe; magaalaan sunis lafa Yaaqoob ilma isaa Yoosefiif kenne sanatti dhiʼoo dha.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Boolli bishaanii kan Yaaqoob tokko achi ture; Yesuusis waan karaa deemuudhaan dadhabeef boolla bishaanii sana bira taaʼe. Yeroonis gara saʼaatii jaʼaa ture.
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 Dubartiin Samaariyaa tokkos bishaan waraabbachuu dhufte; Yesuusis, “Mee na obaasi” jedheen.
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Barattoonni isaa nyaata bituuf gara magaalaa dhaqanii turaniitii.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Dubartiin Samaariyaa sunis Yesuusiin, “Ati utuu Yihuudii taatee jirtuu akkamitti ‘na obaasi’ jettee ana dubartii Samaariyaa kadhatta?” jetteen. Yihuudoonni warra Samaariyaa wajjin walitti dhufeenya hin qaban tureetii.
"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 Yesuusis deebisee, “Kennaa Waaqaatii fi inni, ‘na obaasi’ siin jedhu kun eenyu akka taʼe utuu beektee silaa situ isa kadhata ture; innis bishaan jireenyaa siif kenna ture” jedheen.
"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 Dubartittiinis akkana jetteen; “Yaa gooftaa, ati waan ittiin waraabbattu hin qabdu; boolli bishaanii kunis gad fagoo dha. Yoos bishaan jireenyaa eessaa argatta?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Ati abbaa keenya Yaaqoob isa boolla bishaanii kana nuu kenne caalta moo? Inni mataan isaa, ijoolleen isaatii fi horiin isaa boolla bishaanii kana keessaa dhugaa turan.”
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 Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Namni bishaan kana dhugu hundinuu deebiʼee ni dheebota;
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Dubartittiinis, “Yaa Gooftaa, akka ani hin dheebonneef, bishaan waraabuufis akka ani as hin dhufneef bishaan sana naa kenni” jetteen.
"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 Yesuus immoo, “Dhaqiitii dhirsa kee waamii kottu!” jedheen.
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Dubartittiin, “Ani dhirsa hin qabu” jetteen. Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Dhirsa hin qabu jechuun kee sirrii dha;
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 ati dhirsoota shan qabda turteetii; namichi amma si wajjin jirus dhirsa kee miti. Wanni ati amma dubbate dhugaa dha.”
"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 Dubartittiinis akkana jette; “Yaa Gooftaa, akka ati raajii taate nan hubadha.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Abbootiin keenya tulluu kana irratti sagadaa turan; isin Yihuudoonni garuu iddoon namni itti waaqeffachuu qabu Yerusaalem jettu.”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Dubartii nana, na amani; yeroon isin itti tulluu kana irrattis taʼu yookaan Yerusaalemitti Abbaa hin waaqeffanne tokko ni dhufa.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Isin waan hin beekne waaqeffattu; nu sababii fayyinni Yihuudoota keessaa dhufuuf kan beeknu waaqeffanna.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Warri dhugaan waaqeffatan yeroon isaan itti hafuuraa fi dhugaadhaan Abbaa waaqeffatan tokko ni dhufa; amma iyyuu dhufeera; Abbaan warra akkasitti isa waaqeffatan barbaada.
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 Waaqni hafuura; warri isa waaqeffatanis Hafuuraa fi dhugaadhaan waaqeffachuu qabu.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Dubartittiinis, “Ani akka Masiihiin Kiristoos jedhamu dhufu nan beeka. Inni yommuu dhufutti waan hunda nutti hima” jetteen.
"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 Yesuusis, “Ani, namni amma sitti dubbachaa jiru kun isuma” jedheen.
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Barattoonni isaa yommusuma deebiʼanii utuu inni dubartii tokko wajjin dubbatuu arganii dinqisiifatan. Garuu namni, “Maal barbaadda?” yookaan “Maaliif ishee wajjin haasofta?” jedhee isa gaafatu tokko iyyuu hin turre.
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 Dubartiin sunis okkotee ishee dhiiftee gara magaalaatti deebite; namootaanis akkana jette;
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Kottaatii nama waan ani hojjedhe hunda natti hime tokko ilaalaa! Tarii inni Kiristoos taʼinnaa?”
"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 Isaanis magaalaa keessaa baʼanii Yesuus bira dhufan.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Kana gidduutti barattoonni isaa, “Yaa barsiisaa, mee waa nyaadhu!” jedhanii isa kadhatan.
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Inni garuu, “Ani nyaata isin hin beekne kanan nyaadhu qaba” jedheen.
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Barattoonni isaas, “Namatu nyaata fideefii laata?” jedhanii wal gaafatan.
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Yesuus immoo akkana jedheen; “Nyaanni koo fedhii isa na ergee guutuu fi hojii isaa raawwachuu dha.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Isin, ‘Jiʼa afurtu hafe; ergasii midhaan walitti qabama’ jettu mitii? Kunoo, ani isinittan hima; akka midhaan bilchaatee walitti qabamuu gaʼe mee ol jedhaatii lafa qotiisaa ilaalaa!
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 Inni midhaan haamu amma iyyuu mindaa ni argata; jireenya bara baraatiif ija walitti ni qaba; kunis akka inni facaasuu fi inni walitti qabu waliin gammadaniif. (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 Haala kanaan mammaaksi, ‘Inni tokko ni facaasa; kaan immoo ni haama’ jedhu sun dhugaa dha.
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 Ani akka isin waan itti hin dadhabin haammattaniifan isin erge. Warri kaan itti dadhabaniiru; isin garuu buʼaa dadhabbii isaanii galfattu.”
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 Sababii dubartittiin, “Inni waan ani hojjedhe hunda natti hime” jettee dhugaa baateef namoonni Samaariyaa warri magaalaa sanaa baayʼeen isatti amanan.
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 Kanaafuu namoonni Samaariyaa yommuu gara isaa dhufanitti akka inni isaan wajjin turuuf isa kadhatan; innis guyyaa lama achi ture.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Sababii dubbii isaatiinis namoonni biraa baayʼeen isatti amanan.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Isaanis dubartittiidhaan, “Siʼachi wanni nu amannuuf sababii dubbii ati nutti himte sanaatiif miti; nu mataan keenya iyyuu isa dhageenyeerraatii; akka inni dhugumaan Fayyisaa addunyaa taʼes beekneerra” jedhan.
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 Guyyaa lamaan sana booddee Yesuus Galiilaa dhaqe.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Yesuus mataan isaa iyyuu akka raajiin tokko biyya isaa keessatti kabaja hin qabne dubbatee tureetii.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Yommuu inni Galiilaa gaʼettis warri Galiilaa isa simatan. Isaanis sababii Yerusaalem turaniif waan inni yeroo Ayyaana Faasiikaatti achitti hojjete hunda arganii turan.
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 Kanaafuu inni deebiʼee gara Qaanaa ishee Galiilaa keessaa iddoo itti bishaan gara daadhii wayiniitti geeddaree ture sanaa dhaqe. Qondaalli mootii kan ilmi isaa dhukkubsate tokkos Qifirnaahom keessa ture.
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 Namichi kunis yommuu akka Yesuus Yihuudaadhaa kaʼee Galiilaa dhufe dhagaʼetti isa bira dhaqee akka inni dhufee ilma isaa kan duʼuu gaʼe sana fayyisu isa kadhate.
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 Kana irratti Yesuus, “Isin yoo mallattoo fi dinqii argitan malee hin amantan!” isaan jedhe.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Qondaaltichis, “Yaa Gooftaa, maaloo utuu mucaan koo hin duʼin naa qaqqabi” jedheen.
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Yesuusis, “Ilmi kee ni jiraataatii gali!” jedheen. Namichis waan Yesuus isatti dubbate amanee deeme.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Utuu inni deemaa jiruus tajaajiltoonni isaa itti dhufanii akka ilmi isaa lubbuun jiru itti himan.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Innis yeroo itti mucaa isaatti wayyaaʼe gaafate; isaanis, “Kaleessa saʼaatii torbatti dhagna gubaan isa dhiise” jedhaniin.
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Abbaan mucichaas akka yeroon sun yeroo Yesuus itti, “Ilmi kee ni jiraata” jedheen taʼe hubate. Kanaafuu innis, warri mana isaa hundinuus ni amanan.
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 Kun mallattoo lammaffaa Yesuus erga Yihuudaadhaa Galiilaa dhufee hojjetee dha.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
