Johani 4
1 VaFarisi vakanzwa kuti Jesu akanga achiteverwa navanhu vazhinji uye achibhabhatidza vadzidzi vakawanda kupfuura Johani,
When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
2 kunyange zvake akanga asiri Jesu aibhabhatidza, asi vadzidzi vake.
(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),
3 Ishe akati anzwa izvi, akabva kuJudhea akadzokera kuGarirea zvakare.
He left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4 Zvino akanga achifanira kupfuura nomuSamaria.
Now He had to pass through Samaria.
5 Saka akasvika paguta romuSamaria rainzi Saika, pedyo nomunda wakanga wapiwa kuna Josefa nababa vake Jakobho.
So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Tsime raJakobho raiva ipapo, uye Jesu, aneta sezvo akanga achibva parwendo, akagara pasi patsime ipapo. Yakanga iri nguva inenge yechitanhatu.
Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Mukadzi muSamaria akati auya kuzochera mvura, Jesu akati kwaari, “Ndipewo mvura yokunwa?”
When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
8 (Vadzidzi vake vakanga vapinda muguta kuti vandotenga zvokudya.)
(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 Mukadzi muSamaria akati kwaari, “Iwe uri muJudha uye ini ndiri muSamaria. Seiko uchikumbira kwandiri mvura yokunwa?” (Nokuti vaJudha havadyidzani navaSamaria.)
“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
10 Jesu akamupindura akati, “Dai waiziva chipo chaMwari uye kuti ndiani anokumbira mvura kwauri, ungadai wakumbira kwaari uye angadai akupa mvura mhenyu.”
Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
11 Mukadzi akati, “Ishe, hamuna chamungacheresa nacho uye tsime rakadzika. Ko, mvura mhenyu mungaiwanepi?
“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?
12 Ko, imi muri mukuru here, kuna baba vedu Jakobho, avo vakatipa tsime uye vakanwa pariri ivo pachavo, sezvakaitawo vanakomana vavo namakwai avo nemombe?”
Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ani naani anonwa mvura iyi achava nenyotazve,
Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
15 Mukadzi akati kwaari, “Ishe, ndipei mvura iyi kuitira kuti ndirege kuzova nenyotazve uye ndirege kuramba ndichingouya kuzochera mvura pano.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 Iye akati, “Enda, undodana murume wako ugodzoka pano.”
Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 Akapindura akati, “Handina murume.” Jesu akati kwaari, “Wareva zvakanaka pawati hauna murume.
“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.
18 Chokwadi ndeichi, wakava navarume vashanu, uye murume waunaye zvino haazi murume wako. Zvawabva mukutaura ndicho chokwadi.”
In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
19 Mukadzi akati, “Ishe, ndinoona kuti muri muprofita.
“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
20 Madzibaba edu ainamata pagomo iri, asi imi vaJudha munoti, nzvimbo yatinofanira kunamata tiri ndimo muJerusarema.”
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 Jesu akati, “Mai, nditendei, nguva inouya yamuchanamata Baba musiri pagomo rino kana muJerusarema.
“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Imi vaSamaria munonamata chamusingazivi; isu tinonamata chatinoziva, nokuti ruponeso runobva kuvaJudha.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Asi nguva inouya uye yatouya zvino apo vanamati vechokwadi vachanamata Baba mumweya nomuzvokwadi, nokuti ndivo vanamati vanotsvakwa naBaba kuti vamunamate.
But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.
24 Mwari mweya, uye vanomunamata vanofanira kumunamata mumweya nomuzvokwadi.”
God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
25 Mukadzi akati, “Ndinoziva kuti Mesiya, anonzi Kristu, ari kuuya. Paanouya, acharondedzera zvinhu zvose kwatiri.”
The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
26 Ipapo Jesu akataura akati, “Ini ndiri kutaura newe ndini iye.”
Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
27 Pakarepo vadzidzi vake vakadzokera kwaari uye vakashamiswa vachiona achitaura nomukadzi. Asi hapana akamubvunza kuti, “Unodei?” kana kuti “Munotaurireiko naye?”
Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
28 Ipapo, asiya chirongo chake, mukadzi akadzokera kuguta akandoti kuvanhu,
Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
29 “Uyai, muone murume anditaurira zvinhu zvose zvandakaita. Kuti uyu angava iye Kristu here?”
“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
30 Vakabuda muguta vakapinda munzira yavo vakananga kwaari.
So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
31 Vanhu vasati vasvika, vadzidzi vake vakafanomukurudzira vachiti, “Rabhi, imbowanai chamungadya.”
Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32 Asi iye akati kwavari, “Ndine chokudya chandinodya chamusingazivi.”
But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33 Ipapo vadzidzi vake vakati kuno mumwe nomumwe wavo, “Asi pano munhu amuvigira zvokudya kanhi?”
So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
34 Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvokudya zvangu ndiko kuita kuda kwowakandituma uye nokupedza basa rake.
Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
35 Ko, imi hamuti here, ‘Kwasara mwedzi mina ipapo kucheka kwobva kwasvika?’ Ndinoti kwamuri, svinurai meso enyu uye mutarise kuminda! Yatoibva kuti ikohwewe.
Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.
36 Kunyange iye zvino mukohwi anopiwa mubayiro wake, kunyange izvozvi anokohwa zvibereko zvoupenyu husingaperi, kuitira kuti mukushi nomukohwi vagofara pamwe chete. (aiōnios g166)
Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Nokuti tsumo inoti, ‘Mumwe anokusha uye mumwe anokohwa ndeyezvokwadi.’
For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
38 Ndakakutumai kunokohwa zvamusina kushandira. Vamwe vakaita basa rakaoma, uye imi makakohwa mubayiro wokubata kwavo.”
I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”
39 VaSamaria vazhinji vaibva muguta iro vakatenda kwaari nokuda kwouchapupu hwomukadzi hwokuti, “Akanditaurira zvose zvandakaita.”
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
40 Saka vaSamaria vakasvika kwaari, vakamukumbira kuti agare navo, nokudaro akagarapo kwamazuva maviri.
So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
41 Uye nokuda kwamashoko ake vamwezve vazhinji vakava vatendi.
And many more believed because of His message.
42 Vakati kumukadzi uya, “Hatichatongotendi nokuda kwezvawataura chete; zvino tazvinzwira pachedu, uye tinoziva kuti murume uyu chokwadi ndiye Muponesi wenyika.”
They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”
43 Mazuva maviri akati apfuura, akabva akaenda kuGarirea.
After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
44 Zvino Jesu pachake akanga ambopupura kuti muprofita haakudzwi munyika yokwake.
Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
45 Akati asvika muGarirea, vaGarirea vakamugamuchira. Vakanga vaona zvose zvaakanga aita muJerusarema pamutambo wePasika, nokuti naivowo vaivapo.
Yet when He arrived, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.
46 Akashanyirazve Kana yomuGarirea, uko kwaakanga ashandura mvura ikava waini. Uye ikoko kwakanga kuno mumwe mutariri wamambo akanga ane mwanakomana wake akanga avete achirwara paKapenaume.
So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
47 Murume uyu akati anzwa kuti Jesu asvika muGarirea achibva kuJudhea, akaenda kwaari akandomukumbira kuti auye azoporesa mwanakomana wake, uyo akanga ava pedyo nokufa.
When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
48 Jesu akati kwaari, “Kana imi vanhu musina kuona zviratidzo nezvishamiso, hamungatongotendi.”
Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
49 Mutariri wamambo akati, “Ishe, burukai muuye mwana wangu asati afa.”
“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
50 Jesu akapindura akati, “Enda hako. Mwanakomana wako achararama.” Murume uyu akagamuchira shoko raJesu akaenda.
“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.
51 Achiri munzira varanda vake vakasangana naye namashoko okuti mukomana akanga apora.
And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
52 Akati abvunza nguva yakatanga mwana kunzwa zviri nani, ivo vakati kwaari, “Fivha yakabva paari nezuro panguva dzechinomwe.”
So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”
53 Ipapo baba vaya vakayeuka kuti ndiyo yakanga iri nguva chaiyo paakanzi naJesu, “Mwanakomana wako achararama.” Saka iye neimba yake yose vakatenda.
Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed.
54 Ichi ndicho chakanga chiri chiratidzo chechipiri chakaitwa naJesu, abva kuJudhea ava kuGarirea.
This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
