Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ Sakachep---Sakachep-Bible ~ John Chapter 4

< 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 as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--

2 (Adikin, Jisua'n chu tute baptis maka; a ruoisingei vaiin ke mi an baptis ngâi ani.)

though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--

3 Masikin Jisua'n ha anga an ti hah a rietin chu Judea ram a mâka Galilee tieng a kîr nôka;

He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.

4 a se tieng Samaria ram palin a se rang anâng ani.

His road lay 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 so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece 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 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 Samaria nupang inkhat tuithâl rangin a honga, male Jisua'n a kôm, “Tui nêk rang mi pêk roh,” a tipea.

Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;

8 (A ruoisingei chu sâkruo rochôk rangin khopui sûnga an sea).

for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.

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 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 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 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 Nupangnu han a kôm, “Pu, tui thâlna laka ite dôn mak chea, tuikuong lak ânthûk zana. Khotieng mo ringna-tui na man rang?

"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?

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?”

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 Jisua'n a thuona, “Tutu khom hi tui nêk ngei chu an tui lân râl nôk a ta,

"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;

14 Hannirese, tukhom an kôma tui ke pêk rang a nêk ngei kai chu an tui inrâl nôk tet khâi no nih. Keiman tui ke pêk rang chu, an sûnga tuinâr hong chang a ta, tuinâr han ringna-tui le kumtuong ringna pêk atih,” a tia. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages." (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)

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.

"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 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 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," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said 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 you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that."

19 Nupangnu han a tia, “Pu, dêipu ni ni ti ki riet.”

"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.

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.”

Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must 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," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

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 worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; 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--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.

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 bring Him true spiritual worship."

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," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When 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," said Jesus--"I who am now talking 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.

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 Hanchu nupangnu hah a tuibêl mâkrakin khopui sûnga a kîra, male mingei kôm,

The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called 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," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"

30 Masikin khopui renga an honga Jisua kôm an va se zoi.

They left the town and set out to go to Him.

31 Ma zoratak han ruoisingeiin, “Minchupu, sâk-sâk bak hi roh!” tiin an lei ngêna.

Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."

32 Nikhomsenla Jisua'n, “Nin riet loi bu nêk rang ko dôn,” tiin a thuona.

"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."

33 Masikin ruoisingei han anni leh anni anin rekela, “Mîn bu an hong chôi pe mini?” an tia.

So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"

34 Jisua'n an kôm, “Mi tîrpu lungdo sin le a sin zoi rang hi ku bu tuitak ani, a tipe ngeia.

"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish 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!

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 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)

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 ‘Mi inkhatin a linga, mi dangin a ât ngâi,’ ti hi adik ani.

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 Nin sin loina muna nangni ki tîr; mi dangin an sina, an sin sai hah nin ât ani,” a tia.

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 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.

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 Masikin, Samari mingei ha Jisua kôm an honga, an kôm om rangin an ngêna, male Jisua'n ha khopui han sûnnik a châm zoi.

When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

41 Midang tamtakin khom a thurchi misîr sikin an iem sa zoia,

Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,

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, "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 Ma khopui han sûnnik a châm suole chu a mâka Galilee rama a se zoi.

After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;

44 Jisua'n ama rang nanâk ân tia, “Dêipungei chu an ram nanâka chu miritin om ngâi mak ngei,” tiin.

though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour 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 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 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 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 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.

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 Jisua'n an kôm, “Sininkhêlngei le neinun kamâmomngei nin mu nônchu tutên iem no tu nui,” a tipe ngeia.

"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."

49 Sorkâr ulien han, “Pu, ka nâipasal a thi mân ni juong pe roh,” tiin a thuona.

"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."

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.

"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;

51 Hanchu a in a pan lâiin lampuia a tîrlâmngei leh annin tonga, “Na nâipasal a dam zoi!” an tipea.

and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.

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 inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "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.

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 Ma hah Jisua'n Judea ram renga Galilee rama a hong suo nûka a sininkhêl sin avoinikna ani.

This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
