< Yohani 4 >

1 Mafalisayu wapikiniriti handa Yesu kaweriti kankubatiza na kankuwapata wafundwa wavuwa kuliku Yohani.
Therefore when Yeshua knew that the Pharisees had heard, "Yeshua is making and immersing more talmidim than John"
2 Kumbiti nakaka Yesu kawera ndiri kankubatiza ira wafundwa wakuwi ndo waweriti wankubatiza.
(although Yeshua himself did not immerse, but his talmidim),
3 Yesu pakapikaniriti aga, kalawa Yudeya kagenda Galilaya,
he left Judea, and departed again into Galil.
4 pamwanja gwakuwi kalazimika kupitila Samariya.
He needed to pass through Samaria.
5 Su kafikiti Sikari, lushi lumu lwa Samariya, pakwegera na lirambu lilii Yakobu lyakamupiti mwana gwakuwi Yosefu.
So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
6 Na panu paweriti na linegu lya Yakobu. Yesu kaweriti katoka toziya ya mwanja, su kalivagiti pasi pampenku pa linegu. Iweriti ipata saa sita paliwala.
Jacob's well was there. Yeshua therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Mdala Msamariya kiziti kuteka mashi na Yesu kamgambira, “Gunupi mashi nandi.”
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Yeshua said to her, "Give me a drink."
8 Wafundwa wakuwi wagenditi mulushi kuhemera shiboga.
For his talmidim had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Mdala uliya kamgambira, “Gwenga gwa Muyawudi, neni na Msamariya! Su guwezahashi kunduwa mashi ga kulanda?” Wayawudi hapeni watumii vikombi na vibakuli vyavihanganyikiti na vya wantu wa Samariya.
The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How can you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Yesu kamwankula, “Handa meguvimaniti mafupu ga Mlungu na gaa yakakuluwa mashi ga kulanda, megumluwi na yomberi mekakupi mashi ga ukomu.”
Yeshua 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 Mdala uliya kalonga, “Mtuwa, gwenga gwahera shintu sha kutekera mashi na linegu ndo litalipa. Su, hagupati koshi mashi gana ukomu?
The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where do you get that living water?
12 Mbuyi gwetu Yakobu ndo yakatupiti linegu ali, yomberi na wana wakuwi pamuhera na mifugu yakuwi yoseri walanditi mashi aga. Ashi gwenga gulitumba kuwera mkulu kuliku Yakobu?”
Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
13 Yesu kamwankula, “Woseri walanda mashi aga hawaweri na kwimiluwa kayi.
Yeshua answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
14 Kumbiti yoseri yakalanda mashi ganumupa neni, hapeni kaweri na kwimiluwa kayi. Mashi ganumupa hagaweri mngati mwakuwi mbwiru ya mashi ga ukomu na kumupa ukomu wa mashaka goseri.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to everlasting life." (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 Mdala uliya kamgambira, “Mtuwa, gunupi mashi aga! Shakapanu hapeni numuluwi kayi na hapeni nizi kayi panu kuteka mashi.”
The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."
16 Yesu kamgambira, “Gugendi gwakamshemi mpalu gwaku gwizi nayomberi.”
He said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
17 Mdala uliya kamwankula, “Neni nahera mpalu,” Yesu kamgambira, “Gutakula weri pagutakuliti gwahera mpalu.
The woman answered and said to him, "I have no husband." Yeshua said to her, "You said well, 'I have no husband,'
18 Guyugwa na wapalu wamuhanu, yomberi yagulikala nayu vinu, mpalu gwaku ndiri. Gung'ambira nakaka.”
for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."
19 Mdala uliya kamgambira, “Mtuwa, mona gwenga gwa mbuyi gwa Mlungu.
The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Wambuyi wangu wa Samariya wamguwiriti Mlungu mulugongu alu, su mwenga Wayawudi mlonga kuwera Yerusalemu ndo pahala pa kumwabudu Mlungu.”
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
21 Yesu kamgambira, “Mdala, gunjimira, shipindi shankwiza ndo sheni wantu hapeni wamguwira Tati mulugongu alu ama ku Yerusalemu.
Yeshua said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
22 Mwenga Wasamaliya muvimana ndiri nakaka yawamguwira, kumbiti twenga Wayawudi tumumana yatumguwira, toziya ulopoziya wiza kulawa kwa Wayawudi.
You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Kumbiti shipindi shankwiza na kayi shisoka kala, peni wawamguwira nakaka, hawamguwili Tati kwa likakala lya Rohu, wantu wamguwira hangu ndo Tati yakawafira.
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
24 Mlungu ndo Rohu, na wantu hawawezi hera kumwabudu nakaka kwa likakala lya Rowu gwakuwi.”
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
25 Mdala ulii kamgambira, “Nuvimana kuwera Kristu Mlopoziya yakasyagulitwi hakizi na pakiza hakatugambiri twenga kila shintu.”
The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes," (he who is called Anointed One). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."
26 Yesu kamgambira, “Neni, ndo yantakula na gwenga.”
Yeshua said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
27 Shipindi shila shilii wafundwa wa Yesu wawuyiti na waweriti na likangasha likulu pawamwona Yesu pakatakula na mdala. Kwehera yumu pakati pawu yakamgambiriti mdala ulii, “Gufira shishi?” Ama kumkosiya Yesu, “Iwera hashi gwankutakula na mdala ayu?”
At this, his talmidim came. They were surprised that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"
28 Su, mdala uliya kaileka vulu yakuwi, kagenda mulushi na kuwagambira wantu,
So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
29 “Mwizi mloli muntu yakang'ambiriti vitwatira vyoseri vyantenditi. Hashi, iwezikana yomberi kawera Kristu yakasyagulitwi na Mlungu?”
"Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Messiah?"
30 Wantu walawa mulushi, wamgendera Yesu.
They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 Shipindi shila shiriya wafundwa waweriti wankumuhiga Yesu, “mfunda, gulii shiboga!”
In the meanwhile, the talmidim urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
32 Su Yesu kawankula, “Neni nana shiboga shamshimana ndiri.”
But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."
33 Wafundwa wakuwi walitakuziyana weni, “Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri yakamjegiriti shiboga?”
The talmidim therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"
34 Yesu kawagambira, “Shiboga shaneni ndo kugajimira gakafira ulii yakantumiti neni na kumalira lihengu lyakanupiti kutenda.
Yeshua said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
35 Mwenga mtakula, ‘Kunkali myezi ya msheshi hera, shipindi sha kubenanga hashisoki.’ Su nukugambirani, mloli marambu, viboga vinu vipiya kala na viwera kala kubenanga!
Do you not say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
36 Yakabena viboga kankupata shibenamgongu na kankujojinira viboga kwa mashaka goseri, su yumonga yakayala na ulii yakabena hawanemeleri pamuhera. (aiōnios g166)
He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to everlasting life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Kutakula aku kwa nakaka, ‘Yumu kayalaga na yumonga kabenaga.’
For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'
38 Neni nuwatumiti mwenga mwakabeni viboga mulirambu mtenda ndiri lihengu, wamonga watenditi lihengu kulii na mwenga muna mota kulawirana na lihengu lyawatenditi.”
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
39 Wasamariya wavuwa mulushi lulii wamjimiriti Yesu toziya mdala uliya katakuliti, “Kang'ambiriti neni shintu shoseri shantenditi.”
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 did."
40 Su Wasamariya pawamgendiriti Yesu, wamuluwiti yomberi kalikali pamuhera na womberi na Yesu kalikaliti kulii mashaka mawili.
So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
41 Wantu wavuwa wamjimiriti toziya ya ujumbi wakuwi,
Many more believed because of his word.
42 na womberi wamgambira mdala uliya, “Vinu twenga tujimira, toziya ndiri ya shilii shagutakuliti, ira toziya twenga tumpikanira twaweni na tuvimana kuwera nakaka ndo Mlopoziya gwa pasipanu.”
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 Savior of the world."
43 Pagapititi mashaka mawili, Yesu kawukiti paliya na kugenda Galilaya.
After the two days he departed from there to Galil.
44 Mana Yesu mweni katakuliti, “Mbuyi gwa Mlungu hapeni kapananwi ligoya muisi yakuwi.”
For Yeshua himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Pakafikiti Galilaya, wantu wa paliya wamshemiriti, toziya pawaweriti mumsambu gwa Pasaka kulii Yerusalemu wawonaga vitwatira vyoseri vyakatenditi Yesu shipindi sha msambu.
So when he came into Galil, 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 Su Yesu kawuyiti kayi Kana mumkowa gwa Galilaya, pahala pakagalambuziti mashi kuwera divayi. Afisa gwa sirikali kaweriti paliya mwana gwakuwi kaweriti kalwala ku Kafarinaumu.
Yeshua came therefore again to Cana of Galil, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Kfar-Nahum.
47 Pakapikaniriti handa Yesu kankwiza Galilaya pakalawila Yudeya, kamgendiriti yomberi na kumgambira kagendi Kaferinawumu na kamuponiziyi mwana gwakuwi, yakaweriti sambira kahowa.
When he heard that Yeshua had come out of Judea into Galil, he went to him, and pleaded with him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was close to death.
48 Yesu kamgambira, “Pamwona ndiri malangaliru na mauzauza, hapeni mjimiri!”
Yeshua therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."
49 Afisa ulii kamwankula, “Mtuwa, tugendi pamuhera vinu, mwana keni howi.”
The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
50 Yesu kamgambira, “Gugendi, mwana gwaku hakaweri mkomu!” Muntu uliya kavimaniti visoweru vya Yesu, su kagenda zakuwi.
Yeshua said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Yeshua spoke to him, and he went his way.
51 Pakaweriti kankali kamunjira kuwuya ukaya kaliwoniti na wantumintumi wakuwi pawamjegera visoweru, “Mndemba gwakuwi kawera mkomu!”
As he was now going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was alive.
52 Kawakosiya shipindi gaa mwana gwakuwi pakaweriti mkomu na womberi wamwankula, “Iweriti saa saba paliwala lishu nshimba kupyupa paimlekeziyiti.”
So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at one in the afternoon, the fever left him."
53 Tati uliya kaliholiti kuwera shipindi shiliya ndo Yesu pakamgambiriti, “Mwana gwaku hakaweri mkomu.” Su mweni pamuhera na kaya yakuwi yoseri wamjimira Yesu.
So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Yeshua said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.
54 Liuzauza ali ndo lya pili lyakatenditi Yesu pakaweriti kankulawa Yudeya na kugenda Galilaya.
This is again the second sign that Yeshua did, having come out of Judea into Galil.
