Yohana 4
1 O Yesu na wamanya aje aMafalisayo bhomwezye aje amemile na bhozye ashile oYohana,
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 (japokuwa oYesu yoyo ali sahwonzya ila awanafunzi bhakwe),
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 afumile hu Yudea na bhale hu Galilaya.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Esho hwali muhimu ashilile hu Samaria.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Na afishile hunsi ye Samalia, yehwetwagasi Sikari, karibu no sehemu ela o Yakobo yapiye mwanawakwe oYusufu.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Eshi sima sha Yakobo shali epo. O Yesu ali alitile alengane ne safari na akhala karibu ne shi sima. Gwali muda wa gwa pasanya.
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 Oshe oSamalia ahenzele atape menze, no Yesu abhozye, “Mpele amenze emwele.”
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Afuatanaje abhanafunzi bhakwe abhafunzi bhali bhabhalile hujini akale esholye.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Ola oshe abhozya, “Shibha bhole awe wo Myahudi, kuniomba mimi mwanamke Msamaria, andabhe amenze ga mwele?” Afuatanaje Ayahudi sebhasangana na Samaria.
"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 O Yesu wayanga, “Ogamenye ashipawa sha Ngolobhe, nola wahubhozya aje, 'Mpele menze, 'handawalabhile, handapiye amenze ge womi.”
"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 Oshe ayanga, “'Gosi sagoli nidebe lya tapile, na eshisima shitali. Obhawapate hwi Amenze ge womi?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Aje awe oli gosi, ashile odaada wetu oYakobo, ola watipiye eshi sima eshi, na yeye mwenyewe na watoto wake pamoja na mifugo yake wakanywa maji ya kisima hiki?”
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 O Yesu wayanga, “Wawonti amwelile amenze obhapate eshomelwa nantele,
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Ola oshe wabhozya, “Ogosi, engalabha amenze ego nkengaje olole eshomelwa, na enganje alabhe ahenze epa atape menze.”
"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 O Yesu wabhozya, “bhala kwizye olume waho, nantele uyenzaje.”
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Oshe wabhozya wage, “Sendi nolume.” O Yesu wayanga, “Aje oyajile sawa, 'Aje sendi nolume;'
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 afuatanaje oli nalumo wa sanu, mo wope wolinawo esalaze se lume waho. Hweli oyanjile lyoli!”
"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 Oshe wabhozya, “Ogosi aje elole ajewe oli kuwa.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Yise bhetu bhaputile pigamba amwe mwiga aje Yerusalemu ndiyo sehemu ambayo awantu bhahwanzia waapute.”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 O Yesu ajile, “Weshe, niteshele, ensiku zihwenza nasemwaihuputa Daada huigamba eli au hu Yelusalemu.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Amwe mubhantu muputa hasemuhamanye, afuatanaje ofyilwe ufuma hwa Yaudi.”
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Hata sheshi, ensiku zihwenza, neshi zihweli epa, nabhaihuputa Daada hu shiroho ne lyoli, afuatanaje oDaada abhanza abhantu bhabhali esho aje abhantu bhakwe bhabhahuputa.
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 Ongolobhe weshi Roho, bhabhahuta bhahwanziwa bhaputaje hushiroho ne lyoli, afuatanaje odaada abhanza abhantu ebho bhabhahupata.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Oshe ola abhozya, “Emenye aje Yesu ohwenza, (wohwetwa Kilisiti). Ono nayenza aitibhozya gonti.”
"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 O Yesu abhozya, “Ane woyanga nane nene.”
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Insiku ezyo abhanafunzi bhakwe bhawela. Bhope bhaswigaga yenu ali ayanga noshe, ila nomo walenjele ahubhozye, “Ohwanza yenu?” au “Yenu ayanga nawo?”
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 Esho oshe ola ayileha ensonta yakwe abhalile husokoni abhabhozye abhantu,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Enzaji mwenye omuntu wambozezye enongwa zyane zyonti zyebhomba, aje egawezehana aje agabhayo Kilisiti?”
"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 Bhafumile hu sokoni bhenza hwamwene.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Pasanya abhanafunzi bhakwe bhalambile wajile, “Mwalimu alya eshalye.”
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 ila omwene abhabhozezye, “Ane endi nashalye shasemushimenye amwe.”
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Abhanafunzi bhabhozanya, nomo waleteye ahantu hahonti alye,” Aje bhaletile?”
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 O Yesu abhabhozya, “Eshalye shane hubhombe ensongwo zyakwe omwene wantumile nakamilisye embombo yakwe.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Aje, semuyanga, 'Bado mezi gasanu emvuna ebhabhe tayari?” Embabho enyaji amagonda shagali tayari hu mvuna!
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 Omwene wavuna aposhela na wonganye amatunda gewomi we wila wila, ili aje omwane watota na wope wavuna bhasongwe pandwemo. (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 Afuatanaje enjango ene ye lyoli, 'Omomo atotile awamwabho ayawila.'
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 Nabhatumile avune hasemwambeleye, Wamo bhabhombile embombo namwe mwinjiehulishimo lwe mbombo yabho.”
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 Asamaria abhinji munsi ela bhamwetesheye afwatane ne taarifa ele yashe wayangaga enongwa zyonti zyanabhombile.”
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 Shesho Asamaria bhahenzele bhahenzebhalambile aje akhale pamo na bhahale ahakhala hwa bhene ensiku kuni na mbili.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Abhinji bhonti bhamweteshela alengane ni izu lyakwe.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Bhabhozya ola oshe, “Tihweteshela sio aje hunongwa zyaho, afuatanaje ate tete tomvwezye, na esauti tihwelewa aje lyoli ono fyozi we nsi.”
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 Baada ye nsiku ezyo zibhele, asogoye na bhale hu Galilaya.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Afuatanaje omwane yoyo atangazezye aje okuwaa saline heshima munsi yakwe yoyo.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Nahenzele afume hu Galilaya, Bhahu Galilaya bhakaribisizye bhali bhalolile embombo zyonti zyabhombile hu Yelusalemu hwahwali eshikulukulu, afwataneje abhene bhahuruliye hushi kulu kulu.
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 Ahenzele nante hu Kana ye Galilaya ohwo hwaguzenye amenze abhe divai. Pali no afisa ambaye omwana wakwe ali winu ohwo hu Kaperanaumu.
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 Na homvezye aje oYesu afumile hu Yudea na abhalile hu Galilaya, abhalile hwa Yesu na hulambe aishe aponye omwana wakwe, wakati ali karibu afwe.
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 O Yesu nkabhozya, “Amwe nkasemloli ehalama na mahajabu semuwezizye ahweteshele.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Olongozi ahayanga, “Gosi iha pansi omwana wane sali seele nafwe.”
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 O Yesu ahabhozya, “Bhalaga omwana waho mwomi.” Ola omuntu aheteshela izu lyayanjile oYesu wabhala wahwisogolela.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Lwali ahwiha, abhomba mbombo bhakwe bhaposheye na hubhozye omwana waho ali mwomi.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Esho wabhabhozya muda nshi ou nafuu. Bhajibu, “Igamo umuda gwesa saba ehoma ehamalishe.”
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Eshi ogosi bhakwe ahamanya aje umuda gwagula oYesu gwayanjile, “Mwana waho mwomi.” Esho omwene ne familia yakwe bhaheteshela.
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 Ene yali halama yabhele yabhombile oYesu afumile hu Yudea abhale hu Galilaya.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
