Ioanej 4
1 KAUN lao kotin mani, me Parijar akan ronadar, me Iejuj kin wiada tounpadak kan o paptaij toto jan Ioanej,
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 Ari, pwe jota me pein Iejuj kotin paptaij, japwilim a tounpadak kan ta,
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Ap kotila jan Iudaa, kotin purelan Kalilaa.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 A a kotin weid nan wein Jamaria.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 I ap kotilan kanim en Jamaria eu, me adaneki Jikar, koren ion jap, me Iakop ki on na ol Iojep.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 lei waja en Iakop a parer eu mia. Iejuj ari nirekila a japajapal, ap kaipokedi pon parer o, ari mepukat wiauier impan auer kawonu.
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 A li en Jamaria amen ap kodon idip pil ia. Iejuj kotin majani on i: Kido lim ai kij pil en!
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Pwe japwilim a tounpadak kan ko on nan kanim, pan netiada jak arail.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Li en Jamaria ap indan i: Iaduen, komui kijan men Juj, ap poeki pil re i? Pwe nai li en Jamaria amen, pwe Juj akan jota kin waroki on men Jamaria.
"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 Iejuj kotin japen majani on i: Ma koe aja duen kijakij jan ren Kot o ij i, me indan uk: Kido lim ai kij pil en, koe pan poeki re a, a ap pan ki on uk pil memaur.
"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 Li o indan i: Main, jota japwilim omui men idip pil, a parer me lol, a ia waja, kom pan idip jan ia pil memaur?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 De komui lapa jan jam at Iakop, me kotiki on kit er parer en, o pein nima jan, o na kan, o na man akan?
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 Iejuj kotin japen majani on i: Karoj, me nima jan pil wet, pan pur on men nim pilada.
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Li o ap indai on i: Main, kom kotiki on ia kijan pil o, pwe I en jolar men nim pil, o jolar kodo o idipa jan met!
"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 Iejuj kotin majani on i: Kowei ukedo om paud!
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Li o japen indada: Jota ai paud. Iejuj kotin majani on i: Melel om lokaia: Jota ai paud.
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Pwe om paud me limen maj kokodo, a kaidik om paud, me koe paudeki met; iei melel, me koe indada.
"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 Li o indan i: Main, i ap ajaer, me jaukop amen komui.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Jam at akan kaukaudok pon nana wet, a komail kin inda dene Ierujalem eta waja me aramaj en kaudok ia.
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Iejuj kotin majani on i: Li, kamelele ia, a korendor anjaun omail pan jolar kaukaudok on Jam pon nana wet, pil jota Ierujalem.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Komail kin jaja, me komail kin kaukaudok on. A kit aja, me je kaukaudok on, pwe kamaur pwarado jan ren men Juj akan.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 A anjau korendor, ari a leler, me toun kaudok melel akan pan kaudok on Jam ni Nen o melel, pwe iei ta jon en toun kaudok kan, me Jam pil kotin kupura.
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 Nen eu Kot, a me kaudok on i, ren kaudokki Nen o melel.
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Li indai on i: I aja, me Mejiaj pan kotido, me maraneki Krijtuj. I lao kotido, a pan katiti on kit meakaroj.
"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 Iejuj kotin majani on i: Nai i, me lokelokaia on uk.
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 A japwilim a tounpadak kan ap purodo, puriamui a majan on li amen. Ari jo, jota me indada: Da me re kotin kainoma, de da me re kotin mamajani on i?
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 Li o ap pwilikidi potel en pil o, ap koieilan kanim o kajoi on aramaj akan:
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 Kodo, kilan aramaj amen, me kajale on ia karoj, me i wiadar, ma i kaidin Krijtuj?
"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 Rap koieila jan nan kanim o potodo re a.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Ni anjau ota japwilim a tounpadak kan poeki re a, potoan on: Rapi, re kotin konot!
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 A kotin majani on irail: Kan ai kijin mana mia, me komail jaja.
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Tounpadak kan ap kajokajoi nan pun arail: Muein amen wa don i jak.
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Iejuj kotin majani on irail: Wiawia kupur en me kadar ia do, o kapwaiada japwilim a dodok, iei kan ai,
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Komail jota kin indada: Jaunipon paieu mi mon rak? Kilan, I indai on komail, jarada, kilan matuel o pwe a malar.
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 Me dolun kin pwaipwai o nanak on maur joutuk, pwe ira karoj, me kamorok o me dolun en peren pena. (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 Pwe ni mepukat kajoi o pwaidar: Amen me kin kamo kamorok, a amen me kin dolun.
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 I kadar komail wei, en dolun pena, me komail jo doke, Akai me dodoker, a komail me id aneki arail rak.
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 Men Jamaria toto kijan kanim o pojonla i pweki kajoi en li o, me kadede: A kotin kajale on ia karoj, me i wiadar.
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 Men Jamaria kan lao pokon don i, rap poeki re a, en kotikot re’rail. I ari kotikot ia pon ria pon.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 A me toto me pojonlar pweki a majan,
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Ap indan li o: Je pojon kila kaidin om kajoi, pwe je pein ronadar o weweki, me i melel Jaunkamaur pan jappa.
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 Murin ran riau Iejuj kotila ian waia o, kotilan Kalilaa.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Pwe pein Iejuj kotin kadedeki, me jaukop amen jota kin mau nan udan japwe.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 A lao kotilan Kalilaa, men Kalilaa me kajamo i, pwe re ian kilaner me a kotin wiadar Ierujalem ni kamadip o, pwe re toun ian kamadip.
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 Iejuj ari kotin pure don Kana nan Kalilaa, waja a kotin kapikila pil wain. A monjap amen mia, me na ol jomau nan Kapernaum.
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 A lao ronadar, me Iejuj koti don Kalilaa jan Iudaa, ap poto don re a, poeki i en kotidi, kakelada na ol, pwe a koren ion mela.
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 Iejuj ap kotin majani on i: Ma komail jo kilan kilel o manaman akan komail jota pan pojon.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Monjap potoan on i: Main kotidi mon nai jeri mela!
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Iejuj kotin majani on i: U kowei, noum ol memaur. Ari aramaj o pojon majan o, me Iejuj kotin majani on i ap koieila.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 A ni a kodila, a ladu kan me tu on i, kajoi on i, me na putak mauredar.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 I ap kalelapok re’rail: Anjau da me a pikikidi maur? Irail indan i: Aio ni auer kaiju karakar ko janer.
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Jam o ap ajadar, me i anjau, me Iejuj kotin majani on i: Noum ol memaur. I ari o na kan me pojonla i.
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 let kilel kariau, me Iejuj kotin wiadar ni a koti don Kaliliia jan Iudaa.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
