Johani 4
1 VaFarisi vakanzwa kuti Jesu akanga achiteverwa navanhu vazhinji uye achibhabhatidza vadzidzi vakawanda kupfuura Johani,
Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism
2 kunyange zvake akanga asiri Jesu aibhabhatidza, asi vadzidzi vake.
(Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),
3 Ishe akati anzwa izvi, akabva kuJudhea akadzokera kuGarirea zvakare.
He went out of Judaea into Galilee again.
4 Zvino akanga achifanira kupfuura nomuSamaria.
And it was necessary for him to go 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 which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave 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.
Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Mukadzi muSamaria akati auya kuzochera mvura, Jesu akati kwaari, “Ndipewo mvura yokunwa?”
A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.
8 (Vadzidzi vake vakanga vapinda muguta kuti vandotenga zvokudya.)
For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.
9 Mukadzi muSamaria akati kwaari, “Iwe uri muJudha uye ini ndiri muSamaria. Seiko uchikumbira kwandiri mvura yokunwa?” (Nokuti vaJudha havadyidzani navaSamaria.)
The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.
10 Jesu akamupindura akati, “Dai waiziva chipo chaMwari uye kuti ndiani anokumbira mvura kwauri, ungadai wakumbira kwaari uye angadai akupa mvura mhenyu.”
In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.
11 Mukadzi akati, “Ishe, hamuna chamungacheresa nacho uye tsime rakadzika. Ko, mvura mhenyu mungaiwanepi?
The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the 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 the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?
13 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ani naani anonwa mvura iyi achava nenyotazve,
Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it 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 may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.
16 Iye akati, “Enda, undodana murume wako ugodzoka pano.”
Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.
17 Akapindura akati, “Handina murume.” Jesu akati kwaari, “Wareva zvakanaka pawati hauna murume.
In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:
18 Chokwadi ndeichi, wakava navarume vashanu, uye murume waunaye zvino haazi murume wako. Zvawabva mukutaura ndicho chokwadi.”
You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.
19 Mukadzi akati, “Ishe, ndinoona kuti muri muprofita.
The woman said to him, Sir, 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 gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.
21 Jesu akati, “Mai, nditendei, nguva inouya yamuchanamata Baba musiri pagomo rino kana muJerusarema.
Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 Imi vaSamaria munonamata chamusingazivi; isu tinonamata chatinoziva, nokuti ruponeso runobva kuvaJudha.
You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes 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 the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.
24 Mwari mweya, uye vanomunamata vanofanira kumunamata mumweya nomuzvokwadi.”
God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.
25 Mukadzi akati, “Ndinoziva kuti Mesiya, anonzi Kristu, ari kuuya. Paanouya, acharondedzera zvinhu zvose kwatiri.”
The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.
26 Ipapo Jesu akataura akati, “Ini ndiri kutaura newe ndini iye.”
Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he.
27 Pakarepo vadzidzi vake vakadzokera kwaari uye vakashamiswa vachiona achitaura nomukadzi. Asi hapana akamubvunza kuti, “Unodei?” kana kuti “Munotaurireiko naye?”
At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?
28 Ipapo, asiya chirongo chake, mukadzi akadzokera kuguta akandoti kuvanhu,
Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town, and said to the people,
29 “Uyai, muone murume anditaurira zvinhu zvose zvandakaita. Kuti uyu angava iye Kristu here?”
Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?
30 Vakabuda muguta vakapinda munzira yavo vakananga kwaari.
So they went out of the town and came to him.
31 Vanhu vasati vasvika, vadzidzi vake vakafanomukurudzira vachiti, “Rabhi, imbowanai chamungadya.”
While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.
32 Asi iye akati kwavari, “Ndine chokudya chandinodya chamusingazivi.”
But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.
33 Ipapo vadzidzi vake vakati kuno mumwe nomumwe wavo, “Asi pano munhu amuvigira zvokudya kanhi?”
So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?
34 Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvokudya zvangu ndiko kuita kuda kwowakandituma uye nokupedza basa rake.
Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.
35 Ko, imi hamuti here, ‘Kwasara mwedzi mina ipapo kucheka kwobva kwasvika?’ Ndinoti kwamuri, svinurai meso enyu uye mutarise kuminda! Yatoibva kuti ikohwewe.
You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.
36 Kunyange iye zvino mukohwi anopiwa mubayiro wake, kunyange izvozvi anokohwa zvibereko zvoupenyu husingaperi, kuitira kuti mukushi nomukohwi vagofara pamwe chete. (aiōnios g166)
He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Nokuti tsumo inoti, ‘Mumwe anokusha uye mumwe anokohwa ndeyezvokwadi.’
In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.
38 Ndakakutumai kunokohwa zvamusina kushandira. Vamwe vakaita basa rakaoma, uye imi makakohwa mubayiro wokubata kwavo.”
I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.
39 VaSamaria vazhinji vaibva muguta iro vakatenda kwaari nokuda kwouchapupu hwomukadzi hwokuti, “Akanditaurira zvose zvandakaita.”
Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.
40 Saka vaSamaria vakasvika kwaari, vakamukumbira kuti agare navo, nokudaro akagarapo kwamazuva maviri.
So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.
41 Uye nokuda kwamashoko ake vamwezve vazhinji vakava vatendi.
And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.
42 Vakati kumukadzi uya, “Hatichatongotendi nokuda kwezvawataura chete; zvino tazvinzwira pachedu, uye tinoziva kuti murume uyu chokwadi ndiye Muponesi wenyika.”
And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.
43 Mazuva maviri akati apfuura, akabva akaenda kuGarirea.
And after the two days he went on from there into Galilee.
44 Zvino Jesu pachake akanga ambopupura kuti muprofita haakudzwi munyika yokwake.
For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth.
45 Akati asvika muGarirea, vaGarirea vakamugamuchira. Vakanga vaona zvose zvaakanga aita muJerusarema pamutambo wePasika, nokuti naivowo vaivapo.
So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast — they themselves having been there at the feast.
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 he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill 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 it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.
48 Jesu akati kwaari, “Kana imi vanhu musina kuona zviratidzo nezvishamiso, hamungatongotendi.”
Then Jesus said to him, You will not have faith if you do not see signs and wonders.
49 Mutariri wamambo akati, “Ishe, burukai muuye mwana wangu asati afa.”
The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.
50 Jesu akapindura akati, “Enda hako. Mwanakomana wako achararama.” Murume uyu akagamuchira shoko raJesu akaenda.
And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.
51 Achiri munzira varanda vake vakasangana naye namashoko okuti mukomana akanga apora.
And while he was going down, his servants came to him and said, Your boy is living.
52 Akati abvunza nguva yakatanga mwana kunzwa zviri nani, ivo vakati kwaari, “Fivha yakabva paari nezuro panguva dzechinomwe.”
So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from 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.
It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.
54 Ichi ndicho chakanga chiri chiratidzo chechipiri chakaitwa naJesu, abva kuJudhea ava kuGarirea.
Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.
