Johane 4
1 Erile Morena a itse gore Bafarasai ba utlwile kaga bontsintsi jo bo yang kwa go ene go na le kwa go Johane go kolobediwa le go nna barutwa ba gagwe
When therefore Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (ntswa Jesu ene ka boene a ne a sa ba kolobetse, go ne go kolobetsa barutwa ba gagwe).
(though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples, )
3 A tswa mo Judea mme a boela kwa kgaolong ya Galalea.
he left Judaea, and went again to Galilee.
4 Mme a tshwanelwa ke go ralala Samaria a le mo tseleng.
And he must necessarily pass through Samaria.
5 Mme erile motshegare wa sethoboloko, fa a atamela motse wa Sikara, a goroga fa Sedibeng sa ga Jakobe se se neng se le mo setsheng sa lefatshe se Jakobe a neng a se neile morwawe Josefe.
He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Jesu o ne a lapisitswe ke go tsamaya mo mogoteng wa letsatsi sekgala se se leele, hong a nna fa thoko ga sediba a lapile thata.
And Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with the journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Mme ka bofefo ga tla mosadi wa Mosamaria a tla go ga metsi, mme Jesu a mo kopa metse a go nwa.
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.
8 O ne a le nosi ka nako eo, barutwa ba gagwe ba ile kwa motseng go reka dijo.
For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Mosadi a gakgamala gore a Mojuta o ka kopa “Mosamaria yo o nyatsegang” sengwe, ka tlwaelo ba ne ba sa buisanye! Mme a bua kaga selo se le Jesu.
The Samaritan woman saith to him, How is it that thou, who art a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
10 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Fa o ne o itsile gore Modimo o go tsholetse neo e e gakgamatsang jang, le gore ke nna mang, o kabo o nkopile metse a botshelo!”
Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 Mme mosadi a re, “Ga o na segelelo, le gone sediba se se boteng thata! O ne o tlaa tsaya kae metse a botshelo?
The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Whence hast thou the living water?
12 Kwa ntle ga moo, a o mogolo mo go rraarona mogolwagolwane Jakobe? O ka mpha metse a a botoka jang go na le a Jakobe le bo morwawe le dikgomo tsa bone di a noleng ka boitumelo?”
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Jesu a fetola a re, “Batho ba tshwarwa ke lenyora ka bofefo fa ba sena go nwa metsi a.
Jesus answered and said to her, Every one that drinketh of this water, will thirst again;
15 Mme mosadi a mo raya a re, “Tswee-tswee rra, nnosa metsi ao! Hong ga ke na go tlhola ke nyorwa gape, le fa e le go tsamaya mosepele o moleele o wa go tla go ga metse fano malatsi otlhe.”
The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Tsamaya o ye go tla le monna wa gago.”
He saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Mme mosadi a mo fetola a re, “Kana ga ke a nyalwa.”
The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidst well, that thou hast no husband.
18 Jesu a re, “O bua boammaaruri Ka gore o kile wa nna le banna ba le batlhano, mme monna yo o nnang le ene gompieno jaana ga a go nyala.”
For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in this thou hast spoken truly.
19 Mme mosadi a mo raya a re, “Rra, o tshwa-netse wa bo o le moporofiti.
The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Mme he, mpolelela, ke eng fa lona Bajuta lo re Jerusalema ke lone fela lefelo la kobamelo-Modimo, fa rona Basamaria re re ke fano [mo Thabeng ya Gerasime] kwa borraa-rona mogolwagolwane ba neng ba obamela teng?”
Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesu a fetola a re, “Nako e e tla, mma, fa re tlaa bong re sa tlhole re tshwenyega ka gore a re obamela Rara fano kgotsa mo Jerusalema.
Jesus saith to her, Believe me, woman, the hour is coming, when ye shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Gonne ga go mo go reng re obamela kae, fa e se gore re obama jang, ebong gore a kobamelo ya rona ke ya semowa le ya boammaaruri? A re na le thuso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo?
Ye worship that which ye know not; we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Gonne Modimo ke Mowa, jalo re tshwanetse go nna le thuso ya one go o obamela jaaka re tshwanetse. Rara o batla one mofuta o wa kobamelo mo go rona.
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for such worshippers the Father seeketh.
24 Mme lona Basamaria lo itse go se kae fela kaga gagwe, lo obamela ka bofofu fa rona Bajuta re itse gotlhe kaga gagwe, gonne poloko e tla mo lefatsheng ka Bajuta.”
God is a spirit; and they who worship must worship in spirit and in truth.
25 Mosadi a re, “Go siame, le fa go ntse jalo ke itse gore Mesia o tlaa tla, yo ba mmitsang Keresete, mme fa a tla o tlaa re tlhalosetsa sengwe le sengwe.”
The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ); when he hath come, he will tell us all things.
26 Hong Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ke nna Mesia!”
Jesus saith to her, I who speak to thee am he.
27 Mme erile gone foo fela barutwa ba gagwe ba goroga. Ba gakgamalela go mmona a bua le mosadi, mme le fa e le ope wa bone a se ka a mmotsa gore ke eng.
And upon this his disciples came, and marveled that he was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?
28 Mme mosadi a tsamaya a tlogela nkgwana ya gagwe ya metsi fa thoko ga sediba a boela kwa motseng mme a feta a bolelela mongwe le mongwe jaana,
The woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
29 “Tlang lo bone monna yo o mpoleletseng sengwe le sengwe se ke neng ke tshela ke se dira! A e ka ne e le ene Mesia?”
Come, see a man who told me all things which I have done. Is this the Christ?
30 Mme batho ba motse ba tla ba tsositse modumo ba ya go mmona.
They went out of the city, and came to him.
31 Erile ka lobakanyana fa mosadi a sa ntse a ile go bolelela batho kwa motseng, barutwa ba sala ba leka go kgothaletsa Jesu go ja.
In the mean while the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
32 Mme Jesu a ba fetola a re, “Nnyaa, ke na le dijo tse lo sa itseng kaga tsone.”
But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not of.
33 Mme barutwa ba botsanya ba re, “Yo o di mo lereditseng ke mang?”
The disciples therefore said to one another, Hath any one brought him anything to eat?
34 Mme Jesu a ba tlhalosetsa jaana a re: “Dikotla tsa me di mo go direng go rata ga Modimo o o nthomileng, le mo go fetseng tiro ya One.
Jesus saith to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 A lo gopola gore tiro ya thobo ga e na go simolola go fitlhelela selemo se fela mo dikgweding tse nne go simolola jaanong jaana? Lebang mo tikologong! Masimo a magolo a e leng mewa ya batho, a simolola go butswa mo tikologong yotlhe ya rona, ebile a setse a ka rojwa.
Do ye not say, There are yet four months, and the harvest cometh? Lo! I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.
36 Barobi ba tlaa duelwa tuelo e ntle, mme ba tlaa phuthela mewa e e bolokwang mo difalaneng tsa legodimo! Ke boitumelo jo bogolo jang jo bo letileng mojadi le morobi! (aiōnios g166)
Already is the reaper receiving wages, and gathering fruit unto everlasting life; that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Gonne ke boammaaruri gore mongwe o a jala mme yo mongwe o a roba.
And herein is fulfilled the true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 Ke lo romile go roba kwa lo sa jalang teng; ba bangwe ba dirile tiro ya bone mme lona lwa amogela thobo.”
I have sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.
39 Batho ba le bantsi ba ba tswang mo motseng wa Samarea, ba dumela gore ke Mesia ka ntlha ya polelo ya mosadi e e reng, “O mpoleletse sengwe le sengwe se ke neng ke aga ke se dira!”
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him because of the words of the woman, who testified, He told me all things which I have done.
40 Erile ba ya go mmona kwa sedibeng, ba feta ba mo kopa go ya go nna mo motseng wa bone; mme a dira jalo, a nna malatsi a le mabedi,
When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to remain with them; and he remained there two days.
41 a a neng a lekanye ba le bantsi go dumela mo go ene ba sena go mo utlwa.
And many more believed on account of his word;
42 Mme ba raya mosadi ba re, “Jaanong re a dumela gonne re mo ikutlwetse, e seng fela ka ntlha ya se wena o se re boleletseng. Ke ene tota Mmoloki wa lefatshe.”
and said to the woman, No longer do we believe on account of what thou hast told us; for we have ourselves heard him, and know that this is in truth the Saviour of the world.
43 Erile a sena go nna malatsi a mabedi, a ya Galalea
And after the two days he went from that place into Galilee.
44 fela jaaka a ne a tle a re, “Moporofiti o tlotlega gongwe le gongwe fa e se fela mo lefatsheng la ga gabo!”
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.
45 Mme Bagalalea ba feta ba mo amogela sentle ka diatla tsoo pedi gonne ba ne ba le mo Jerusalema ka moletlo wa Tlolaganyo le gore ba ne ba bonye dikgakgamatso dingwe tsa gagwe.
When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also went to the feast.
46 Mo lobakeng lwa loeto lwa gagwe a raletse Galalea, o ne a goroga mo motseng wa Kana kwa a neng a kile a fetola metsi mofine teng. Erile a sale teng koo, monna mongwe mo motseng wa Kaperenama, yo e neng e le kgosana, yo morwawe o neng a lwala thata,
So he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick, at Capernaum.
47 a utlwa gore Jesu o boile kwa Judea jaanong o mo Galalea. Monna yo a ya kwa Kana, a fitlhela Jesu, mme a kopa gore a ye le ene kwa Kaperenama go ya go fodisa morwawe yo a neng a le fa gare ga loso le botshelo.
He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him, and asked him to go down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Mme Jesu a mmotsa a re, “A ga gona ope wa lona yo o dumelang mo go nna fa e se ke tswelela ka go dira dikgakgamatso?”
Then Jesus said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 Kgosana ya mo rapela ya re, “Rra, tswee-tswee itlhaganele pele ngwanake o a swa.”
The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down before my child die.
50 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Boela kwa gae. Morwao o fodile!” Mme kgosana ya dumela Jesu ya boela kwa gae.
Jesus saith to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and went away.
51 Mme ya re fa a sale mo tseleng, bangwe ba batlhanka ba gagwe ba mo rakantsha ka mafoko a a reng sengwe le sengwe se siame, morwao o namologile mo bolwetseng.
And as he was now going down, the servants met him, and brought word that his child was living.
52 A ba botsa gore mosimanyana o sale a simolola go ikutlwa botoka leng? Mme ba mo fetola ba re, “Erile maabane mo tshokologong nako e ka nna ya bongwe, letshoroma la gagwe la bo le nyelela!”
Then he inquired of them the hour when he began to mend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Hong rraagwe a lemoga gore e ne e le ka lone lobaka lo Jesu a neng a mo raya a re, “Morwao o fodile.” Mme Kgosana le bantlo ya gagwe ba dumela gore Jesu ke Mesia.
So the father knew that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son is living. And he himself believed, and his whole house.
54 Se e ne e le kgakgamatso ya bobedi mo Ga-lalea morago ga go boa ga ga Jesu kwa Judea.
This again, a second sign, Jesus wrought, when he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.
