John 4
1 Phariseengei han John nêkin Jisua ruoisi atam uol, ama'n tui leh mi a baptis a min tam uol ti an riet zoia.
Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (Adikin, Jisua'n chu tute baptis maka; a ruoisingei vaiin ke mi an baptis ngâi ani.)
(Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),
3 Masikin Jisua'n ha anga an ti hah a rietin chu Judea ram a mâka Galilee tieng a kîr nôka;
he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.
4 a se tieng Samaria ram palin a se rang anâng ani.
He had to pass through Samaria,
5 Samaria ram sûnga han khopui inkhat Sychar an ti han a hong tunga, Jacob'n a nâi Joseph mun a pêkna kôl hah ani.
and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Jacob tuikuong khom mahan aoma, Jisua'n a lam lônna a sôl sikin ha tuikuong kôla han ânsung raka, ma hah sûnchimripa ani.
Jacob’s Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about midday.
7 Samaria nupang inkhat tuithâl rangin a honga, male Jisua'n a kôm, “Tui nêk rang mi pêk roh,” a tipea.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her – “Give me some to drink,”
8 (A ruoisingei chu sâkruo rochôk rangin khopui sûnga an sea).
For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food.
9 Nupangnu han a kôm, “Nangma Juda mi ni nia, keima Samaria nupang ki nia, kho-angin mo tui nêk rang mi ni zong hi?” (Judangei han khuri mo, khuriâi mo, Samaria mingeiin an mangna chu mang ngâi khâi mak ngei.)
“How is it,” replied the Samaritan woman, “that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).
10 Hanchu Jisua'n a thuona, “Pathien neinunpêk le buong rang mi pêk roh tipu hi ni riet nisenla chu, nangman keng a kôm zong na ta; hanchu, ama'n ringna-tui nang a pêk rang ani,” a tia.
“If you knew of the gift of God,” replied Jesus, “and who it is that is saying to you ‘Give me some water,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 Nupangnu han a kôm, “Pu, tui thâlna laka ite dôn mak chea, tuikuong lak ânthûk zana. Khotieng mo ringna-tui na man rang?
“You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep,” she said. “Where did you get that ‘living water?’
12 Kin pu Jacob'n hi tuikuong hih mi pêka; ama le a nâingei le a sâ vâi ngei murdi khom ma renga hih an lei nêk ngâi ani. Kin pu Jacob nêkin no roiinpui uol mo?”
Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!”
13 Jisua'n a thuona, “Tutu khom hi tui nêk ngei chu an tui lân râl nôk a ta,
“All who drink of this water,” replied Jesus, “will be thirsty again;
15 Nupangnu han a kôm, “Pu, ma tui hah ni pêk roh! ku tui ânrâl khâi loina rang le hi tena lâ tuithâl ko hong khâi loina rangin,” a tia.
“Give me this water, Sir,” said the woman, “so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water.”
16 Jisua'n ha nu kôm han, “Sênla, no lômpa va koi inla, hong nôk roh,” a tipea.
“Go and call your husband,” said Jesus, “and then come back.”
17 Nupangnu'n a kôm, “Lômpa la dôn mu-ung,” tiin amanu han a thuona. Jisua'n chong a melea, “Lômpa dôn mu-ung, ni ti hih, ni ti mindik ani.
“I have no husband,” answered the woman. “You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’” replied Jesus,
18 Pasal rangnga in ne neipui zoia, male atûna no ompuipa khom hih no lômpa tatak nimak. Chongdiktak ni ni ril ani,” a tia.
“For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.”
19 Nupangnu han a tia, “Pu, dêipu ni ni ti ki riet.”
“I see, Sir, that you are a prophet!” exclaimed the woman.
20 “Kin Samari richibulngeiin chu hi tânga hin Pathien chubai an mûk ngâi, aniatachu, nangni Judangeiin chu Jerusalema Pathien chubai kin mûk ngâi ani, nin ti ngâi.”
“It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshiped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 Jisua'n, nupangnu kôm han a tipea, “Nupangnu, keima mi iem roh, hi tâng le Jerusalem ngêt ni loi khomin mingeiin Pa chubai an mûk zora la tung atih.
“Believe me,” replied Jesus, “a time is coming when it will be neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you will worship the Father.
22 Nangni Samari mingeiin chu nin riet loi chubai nin mûk ngâi; aniatachu keini Judangeiin chu kin riet ke chubai kin mûk ngâi ani, sanminringna hih Judangei renga hong suok kêng ani sikin.
You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Hannirese azora atung rang ani zoi, male atûn khom atung tir ani zoi, ma tikin chu Pathien chubaimûk ngeiin Ratha le Chongtakin Pa chubaimûk an tih, Pa'n ma anga mingei ha ama chubaimûk rangin a nuom ngâi ani.
But a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father spiritually and truly; for such are the worshipers that the Father desires.
24 Pathien chu Ratha ania, ama chubai mûk ngeiin Ratha le chongtakin chubai an mûk rang ani,” a tia.
God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly.”
25 Nupangnu han a kôm, “Messiah la juong atih, ti ki riet, a juong tikin chu neinunngei murdi mi ril atih,” a tia.
“I know,” answered the woman, “that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything.”
26 Jisua'n a thuona, “Keima nang chongpuipa hih, ama hah ki ni,” a tia.
“I am he,” Jesus said to her, “I who am speaking to you.”
27 Ma lâitak han a ruoisingei an hong kîr nôka, nupang leh an chong an mua an kamâm sabaka. Aniatachu, tutên ha nu kôm han, “Imo no zong?” aninônchu ama kôm, “Ithomo nupang no chongpuia?” tiin khom ite rekel mak ngei.
At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked ‘What do you want?’ or ‘Why are you talking with her?’
28 Hanchu nupangnu hah a tuibêl mâkrakin khopui sûnga a kîra, male mingei kôm,
So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people,
29 “Ki sin lei tho ngei murdi a ril thei let mi inkhat a oma, hong en ta u, Messiah ni thei ni mo?” a tia.
“Come and see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?”
30 Masikin khopui renga an honga Jisua kôm an va se zoi.
And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.
31 Ma zoratak han ruoisingeiin, “Minchupu, sâk-sâk bak hi roh!” tiin an lei ngêna.
Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him, “Take something to eat, Rabbi.”
32 Nikhomsenla Jisua'n, “Nin riet loi bu nêk rang ko dôn,” tiin a thuona.
“I have food to eat,” he answered, “of which you know nothing.”
33 Masikin ruoisingei han anni leh anni anin rekela, “Mîn bu an hong chôi pe mini?” an tia.
“Can anyone have brought him anything to eat?” the disciples said to one another.
34 Jisua'n an kôm, “Mi tîrpu lungdo sin le a sin zoi rang hi ku bu tuitak ani, a tipe ngeia.
“My food,” replied Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 Nangnin chu, ‘Bu âtna rang tha minli ala om nin tia.’ Aniatachu nangni ki ril, loingei so en sabak ta u; atûn renga ât rangin bungei an min zoi!
Don’t you say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are for harvest!
36 A âtpu'n chu rathaman a man ngâia, kumtuong ringna dêna om rangin amara a mintûp ngâi; masikin a lingpu le a âtpu an râisân ânruol theina rangin. (aiōnios g166)
Already the reaper is receiving wages and gathering in sheaves for eternal life, so that sower and reaper rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 ‘Mi inkhatin a linga, mi dangin a ât ngâi,’ ti hi adik ani.
For here the proverb holds good – ‘One sows, another reaps.’
38 Nin sin loina muna nangni ki tîr; mi dangin an sina, an sin sai hah nin ât ani,” a tia.
I have sent you to reap that on which you have spent no labor; others have labored, and you have reaped the results of their labor.”
39 Nupangnu han, “Ki sin lei tho ngei murdi ni ril let,” tiin a thurchi a misîr pe ngei sikin Samari khopui mingei, mi tamtakin Jisua an iem zoi.
Many from that town came to believe in Jesus – Samaritans though they were – because the woman had said, ‘He has told me everything that I have done.’
40 Masikin, Samari mingei ha Jisua kôm an honga, an kôm om rangin an ngêna, male Jisua'n ha khopui han sûnnik a châm zoi.
And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
41 Midang tamtakin khom a thurchi misîr sikin an iem sa zoia,
But far more came to believe in him because of what he said himself,
42 male anni ngei han nupangnu kôm, “Atûn chu mi ni misîr pe sika ni loiin keini lelên a thurchi misîr kin rieta, hi mi hih rammuol sanminringpu ani khet ti kin riet zoi,” an tia.
and they said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you say that we believe in him, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he really is the Savior of the world.”
43 Ma khopui han sûnnik a châm suole chu a mâka Galilee rama a se zoi.
After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;
44 Jisua'n ama rang nanâk ân tia, “Dêipungei chu an ram nanâka chu miritin om ngâi mak ngei,” tiin.
for he himself declared that ‘a prophet is not honored in his own country.’
45 Galilee rama a tungin chu mipuingeiin an lei phâm tataka, Jerusalema Kalkân Kût han inchelin Jisua sintho ngei murdi ha an mu sikin.
When he entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the Festival, at which they also had been present.
46 Hanchu, Jisua ha Galilee rama Cana khuoa tui uain a min changna han a hong nôka, sorkâr ulien inkhat a oma, a nâipasal Capernaum khuoa dam loiin a om ani.
So Jesus came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was one of the king’s officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.
47 Jisua Judea ram renga Galilee rama a hong ti a riet lehan a kôm a sea, Capernaum khuoa sea, a nâipasal juong mindam rangin Jisua a ngêna, a nâipasal hah a thi vang zoi ani.
When this man heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Jisua'n an kôm, “Sininkhêlngei le neinun kamâmomngei nin mu nônchu tutên iem no tu nui,” a tipe ngeia.
Jesus answered, “Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 Sorkâr ulien han, “Pu, ka nâipasal a thi mân ni juong pe roh,” tiin a thuona.
“Sir,” said the officer, “come down before my child dies.” And Jesus answered, “Go, your son is living.”
50 Jisua'n a kôm, “Se nôk ta roh, na nâipasal a dam zoi!” a tipea. Ha mi han Jisua chongngei ha iem pumin a se zoi.
The man believed what Jesus said to him, and went;
51 Hanchu a in a pan lâiin lampuia a tîrlâmngei leh annin tonga, “Na nâipasal a dam zoi!” an tipea.
and, while he was on his way down, his servants met him, and told him that his child was living.
52 Ama'n an kôm, a nâipasal lei dam zora tak hah a rekel ngeia, annin a kôm, “Mazan chonûktieng dârkhat inring han a mintun a lei mathân zoi,” an tipea.
So he asked them at what time the boy began to get better. “It was yesterday, about one o’clock,” they said, “that the fever left him.”
53 Hanchu, a pa han Jisua'n a kôm, “Na nâipasal a dam zoi,” a tipe zora tak hah ani ti a riet zoi. Masikin ama le a inmingei anrêngin an iem zoi ani.
By this the father knew that it was at the very time when Jesus had said to him ‘Your son is living’; and he himself, with all his household, believed in Jesus.
54 Ma hah Jisua'n Judea ram renga Galilee rama a hong suo nûka a sininkhêl sin avoinikna ani.
This was the second occasion on which Jesus gave a sign of his mission on coming from Judea to Galilee.
