योहनः 4
1 यीशुः स्वयं नामज्जयत् केवलं तस्य शिष्या अमज्जयत् किन्तु योहनोऽधिकशिष्यान् स करोति मज्जयति च,
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 फिरूशिन इमां वार्त्तामशृण्वन् इति प्रभुरवगत्य
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 यिहूदीयदेशं विहाय पुन र्गालीलम् आगत्।
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 ततः शोमिरोणप्रदेशस्य मद्येन तेन गन्तव्ये सति
His road lay through Samaria,
5 याकूब् निजपुत्राय यूषफे यां भूमिम् अददात् तत्समीपस्थायि शोमिरोणप्रदेशस्य सुखार् नाम्ना विख्यातस्य नगरस्य सन्निधावुपास्थात्।
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 तत्र याकूबः प्रहिरासीत्; तदा द्वितीययामवेलायां जातायां स मार्गे श्रमापन्नस्तस्य प्रहेः पार्श्वे उपाविशत्।
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 एतर्हि काचित् शोमिरोणीया योषित् तोयोत्तोलनार्थम् तत्रागमत्
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 तदा शिष्याः खाद्यद्रव्याणि क्रेतुं नगरम् अगच्छन्।
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 यीशुः शोमिरोणीयां तां योषितम् व्याहार्षीत् मह्यं किञ्चित् पानीयं पातुं देहि। किन्तु शोमिरोणीयैः साकं यिहूदीयलोका न व्यवाहरन् तस्माद्धेतोः साकथयत् शोमिरोणीया योषितदहं त्वं यिहूदीयोसि कथं मत्तः पानीयं पातुम् इच्छसि?
"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 ततो यीशुरवदद् ईश्वरस्य यद्दानं तत्कीदृक् पानीयं पातुं मह्यं देहि य इत्थं त्वां याचते स वा क इति चेदज्ञास्यथास्तर्हि तमयाचिष्यथाः स च तुभ्यममृतं तोयमदास्यत्।
"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 तदा सा सीमन्तिनी भाषितवति, हे महेच्छ प्रहिर्गम्भीरो भवतो नीरोत्तोलनपात्रं नास्ती च तस्मात् तदमृतं कीलालं कुतः प्राप्स्यसि?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 योस्मभ्यम् इममन्धूं ददौ, यस्य च परिजना गोमेषादयश्च सर्व्वेऽस्य प्रहेः पानीयं पपुरेतादृशो योस्माकं पूर्व्वपुरुषो याकूब् तस्मादपि भवान् महान् किं?
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 ततो यीशुरकथयद् इदं पानीयं सः पिवति स पुनस्तृषार्त्तो भविष्यति,
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 तदा सा वनिताकथयत् हे महेच्छ तर्हि मम पुनः पीपासा यथा न जायते तोयोत्तोलनाय यथात्रागमनं न भवति च तदर्थं मह्यं तत्तोयं देही।
"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 ततो यीशूरवदद्याहि तव पतिमाहूय स्थानेऽत्रागच्छ।
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 सा वामावदत् मम पतिर्नास्ति। यीशुरवदत् मम पतिर्नास्तीति वाक्यं भद्रमवोचः।
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 यतस्तव पञ्च पतयोभवन् अधुना तु त्वया सार्द्धं यस्तिष्ठति स तव भर्त्ता न वाक्यमिदं सत्यमवादिः।
"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 तदा सा महिला गदितवति हे महेच्छ भवान् एको भविष्यद्वादीति बुद्धं मया।
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 अस्माकं पितृलोका एतस्मिन् शिलोच्चयेऽभजन्त, किन्तु भवद्भिरुच्यते यिरूशालम् नगरे भजनयोग्यं स्थानमास्ते।
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 यीशुरवोचत् हे योषित् मम वाक्ये विश्वसिहि यदा यूयं केवलशैलेऽस्मिन् वा यिरूशालम् नगरे पितुर्भजनं न करिष्यध्वे काल एतादृश आयाति।
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 यूयं यं भजध्वे तं न जानीथ, किन्तु वयं यं भजामहे तं जानीमहे, यतो यिहूदीयलोकानां मध्यात् परित्राणं जायते।
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 किन्तु यदा सत्यभक्ता आत्मना सत्यरूपेण च पितुर्भजनं करिष्यन्ते समय एतादृश आयाति, वरम् इदानीमपि विद्यते; यत एतादृशो भत्कान् पिता चेष्टते।
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 ईश्वर आत्मा; ततस्तस्य ये भक्तास्तैः स आत्मना सत्यरूपेण च भजनीयः।
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 तदा सा महिलावादीत् ख्रीष्टनाम्ना विख्यातोऽभिषिक्तः पुरुष आगमिष्यतीति जानामि स च सर्व्वाः कथा अस्मान् ज्ञापयिष्यति।
"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 ततो यीशुरवदत् त्वया सार्द्धं कथनं करोमि योऽहम् अहमेव स पुरुषः।
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 एतस्मिन् समये शिष्या आगत्य तथा स्त्रिया सार्द्धं तस्य कथोपकथने महाश्चर्य्यम् अमन्यन्त तथापि भवान् किमिच्छति? यद्वा किमर्थम् एतया सार्द्धं कथां कथयति? इति कोपि नापृच्छत्।
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 ततः परं सा नारी कलशं स्थापयित्वा नगरमध्यं गत्वा लोकेभ्योकथायद्
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 अहं यद्यत् कर्म्माकरवं तत्सर्व्वं मह्यमकथयद् एतादृशं मानवमेकम् आगत्य पश्यत रु किम् अभिषिक्तो न भवति?
"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 ततस्ते नगराद् बहिरागत्य तातस्य समीपम् आयन्।
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 एतर्हि शिष्याः साधयित्वा तं व्याहार्षुः हे गुरो भवान् किञ्चिद् भूक्तां।
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 ततः सोवदद् युष्माभिर्यन्न ज्ञायते तादृशं भक्ष्यं ममास्ते।
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 तदा शिष्याः परस्परं प्रष्टुम् आरम्भन्त, किमस्मै कोपि किमपि भक्ष्यमानीय दत्तवान्?
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 यीशुरवोचत् मत्प्रेरकस्याभिमतानुरूपकरणं तस्यैव कर्म्मसिद्धिकारणञ्च मम भक्ष्यं।
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 मासचतुष्टये जाते शस्यकर्त्तनसमयो भविष्यतीति वाक्यं युष्माभिः किं नोद्यते? किन्त्वहं वदामि, शिर उत्तोल्य क्षेत्राणि प्रति निरीक्ष्य पश्यत, इदानीं कर्त्तनयोग्यानि शुक्लवर्णान्यभवन्।
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 यश्छिनत्ति स वेतनं लभते अनन्तायुःस्वरूपं शस्यं स गृह्लाति च, तेनैव वप्ता छेत्ता च युगपद् आनन्दतः। (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 इत्थं सति वपत्येकश्छिनत्यन्य इति वचनं सिद्ध्यति।
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 यत्र यूयं न पर्य्यश्राम्यत तादृशं शस्यं छेत्तुं युष्मान् प्रैरयम् अन्ये जनाःपर्य्यश्राम्यन् यूयं तेषां श्रगस्य फलम् अलभध्वम्।
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 यस्मिन् काले यद्यत् कर्म्माकार्षं तत्सर्व्वं स मह्यम् अकथयत् तस्या वनिताया इदं साक्ष्यवाक्यं श्रुत्वा तन्नगरनिवासिनो बहवः शोमिरोणीयलोका व्यश्वसन्।
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 तथा च तस्यान्तिके समुपस्थाय स्वेषां सन्निधौ कतिचिद् दिनानि स्थातुं तस्मिन् विनयम् अकुर्व्वान तस्मात् स दिनद्वयं तत्स्थाने न्यवष्टत्
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 ततस्तस्योपदेशेन बहवोऽपरे विश्वस्य
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 तां योषामवदन् केवलं तव वाक्येन प्रतीम इति न, किन्तु स जगतोऽभिषिक्तस्त्रातेति तस्य कथां श्रुत्वा वयं स्वयमेवाज्ञासमहि।
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 स्वदेशे भविष्यद्वक्तुः सत्कारो नास्तीति यद्यपि यीशुः प्रमाणं दत्वाकथयत्
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 तथापि दिवसद्वयात् परं स तस्मात् स्थानाद् गालीलं गतवान्।
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 अनन्तरं ये गालीली लियलोका उत्सवे गता उत्सवसमये यिरूशलम् नगरे तस्य सर्व्वाः क्रिया अपश्यन् ते गालीलम् आगतं तम् आगृह्लन्।
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 ततः परम् यीशु र्यस्मिन् कान्नानगरे जलं द्राक्षारसम् आकरोत् तत् स्थानं पुनरगात्। तस्मिन्नेव समये कस्यचिद् राजसभास्तारस्य पुत्रः कफर्नाहूमपुरी रोगग्रस्त आसीत्।
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 स येहूदीयदेशाद् यीशो र्गालीलागमनवार्त्तां निशम्य तस्य समीपं गत्वा प्रार्थ्य व्याहृतवान् मम पुत्रस्य प्रायेण काल आसन्नः भवान् आगत्य तं स्वस्थं करोतु।
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 तदा यीशुरकथयद् आश्चर्य्यं कर्म्म चित्रं चिह्नं च न दृष्टा यूयं न प्रत्येष्यथ।
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 ततः स सभासदवदत् हे महेच्छ मम पुत्रे न मृते भवानागच्छतु।
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 यीशुस्तमवदद् गच्छ तव पुत्रोऽजीवीत् तदा यीशुनोक्तवाक्ये स विश्वस्य गतवान्।
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 गमनकाले मार्गमध्ये दासास्तं साक्षात्प्राप्यावदन् भवतः पुत्रोऽजीवीत्।
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 ततः कं कालमारभ्य रोगप्रतीकारारम्भो जाता इति पृष्टे तैरुक्तं ह्यः सार्द्धदण्डद्वयाधिकद्वितीययामे तस्य ज्वरत्यागोऽभवत्।
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 तदा यीशुस्तस्मिन् क्षणे प्रोक्तवान् तव पुत्रोऽजीवीत् पिता तद्बुद्ध्वा सपरिवारो व्यश्वसीत्।
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 यिहूदीयदेशाद् आगत्य गालीलि यीशुरेतद् द्वितीयम् आश्चर्य्यकर्म्माकरोत्।
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
