Yohannis 4
1 Egaa Yesuus Yohannis caalaa barattoota akka baayʼifatee fi akka cuuphe Fariisonni dhagaʼuu isaanii Gooftaan ni beeke;
Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 taʼus barattoota isaatu cuuphaa ture malee Yesuus ofii isaatii hin cuuphine.
(although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
3 Inni Yihuudaa dhiisee amma illee Galiilaatti deebiʼe.
he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
4 Innis Samaariyaa keessa darbuu qaba ture.
He needed to pass through Samaria.
5 Kanaafuu gara magaalaa Samaariyaa kan Siikaar jedhamu tokkoo dhufe; magaalaan sunis lafa Yaaqoob ilma isaa Yoosefiif kenne sanatti dhiʼoo dha.
So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground 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. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Dubartiin Samaariyaa tokkos bishaan waraabbachuu dhufte; Yesuusis, “Mee na obaasi” jedheen.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
8 Barattoonni isaa nyaata bituuf gara magaalaa dhaqanii turaniitii.
For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
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.
The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (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.
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ 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?
The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
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 father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
13 Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Namni bishaan kana dhugu hundinuu deebiʼee ni dheebota;
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
15 Dubartittiinis, “Yaa Gooftaa, akka ani hin dheebonneef, bishaan waraabuufis akka ani as hin dhufneef bishaan sana naa kenni” jetteen.
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
16 Yesuus immoo, “Dhaqiitii dhirsa kee waamii kottu!” jedheen.
Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 Dubartittiin, “Ani dhirsa hin qabu” jetteen. Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Dhirsa hin qabu jechuun kee sirrii dha;
The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
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 he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
19 Dubartittiinis akkana jette; “Yaa Gooftaa, akka ati raajii taate nan hubadha.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Abbootiin keenya tulluu kana irratti sagadaa turan; isin Yihuudoonni garuu iddoon namni itti waaqeffachuu qabu Yerusaalem jettu.”
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
21 Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Dubartii nana, na amani; yeroon isin itti tulluu kana irrattis taʼu yookaan Yerusaalemitti Abbaa hin waaqeffanne tokko ni dhufa.
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 Isin waan hin beekne waaqeffattu; nu sababii fayyinni Yihuudoota keessaa dhufuuf kan beeknu waaqeffanna.
You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is 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 the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
24 Waaqni hafuura; warri isa waaqeffatanis Hafuuraa fi dhugaadhaan waaqeffachuu qabu.”
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 Dubartittiinis, “Ani akka Masiihiin Kiristoos jedhamu dhufu nan beeka. Inni yommuu dhufutti waan hunda nutti hima” jetteen.
The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
26 Yesuusis, “Ani, namni amma sitti dubbachaa jiru kun isuma” jedheen.
Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks 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. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
28 Dubartiin sunis okkotee ishee dhiiftee gara magaalaatti deebite; namootaanis akkana jette;
So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
29 “Kottaatii nama waan ani hojjedhe hunda natti hime tokko ilaalaa! Tarii inni Kiristoos taʼinnaa?”
“Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
30 Isaanis magaalaa keessaa baʼanii Yesuus bira dhufan.
They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 Kana gidduutti barattoonni isaa, “Yaa barsiisaa, mee waa nyaadhu!” jedhanii isa kadhatan.
In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Inni garuu, “Ani nyaata isin hin beekne kanan nyaadhu qaba” jedheen.
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 Barattoonni isaas, “Namatu nyaata fideefii laata?” jedhanii wal gaafatan.
The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
34 Yesuus immoo akkana jedheen; “Nyaanni koo fedhii isa na ergee guutuu fi hojii isaa raawwachuu dha.
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and 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!
Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
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)
He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Haala kanaan mammaaksi, ‘Inni tokko ni facaasa; kaan immoo ni haama’ jedhu sun dhugaa dha.
For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
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 that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Sababii dubartittiin, “Inni waan ani hojjedhe hunda natti hime” jettee dhugaa baateef namoonni Samaariyaa warri magaalaa sanaa baayʼeen isatti amanan.
From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
40 Kanaafuu namoonni Samaariyaa yommuu gara isaa dhufanitti akka inni isaan wajjin turuuf isa kadhatan; innis guyyaa lama achi ture.
So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
41 Sababii dubbii isaatiinis namoonni biraa baayʼeen isatti amanan.
Many more believed because of his word.
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.
They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
43 Guyyaa lamaan sana booddee Yesuus Galiilaa dhaqe.
After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
44 Yesuus mataan isaa iyyuu akka raajiin tokko biyya isaa keessatti kabaja hin qabne dubbatee tureetii.
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor 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.
So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
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.
Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick 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.
When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal 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.
Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
49 Qondaaltichis, “Yaa Gooftaa, maaloo utuu mucaan koo hin duʼin naa qaqqabi” jedheen.
The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 Yesuusis, “Ilmi kee ni jiraataatii gali!” jedheen. Namichis waan Yesuus isatti dubbate amanee deeme.
Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
51 Utuu inni deemaa jiruus tajaajiltoonni isaa itti dhufanii akka ilmi isaa lubbuun jiru itti himan.
As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
52 Innis yeroo itti mucaa isaatti wayyaaʼe gaafate; isaanis, “Kaleessa saʼaatii torbatti dhagna gubaan isa dhiise” jedhaniin.
So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, 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.
So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
54 Kun mallattoo lammaffaa Yesuus erga Yihuudaadhaa Galiilaa dhufee hojjetee dha.
This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
