< Johani 4 >
1 Naizvozvo Ishe paakaziva kuti VaFarisi vakange vanzwa kuti Jesu anoita nekubhabhatidza vadzidzi vakawanda kupfuura Johwani,
When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John
2 kunyange Jesu pachake wakange asingabhabhatidzi, asi vadzidzi vake,
(although Jesus himself did not immerse, but his disciples),
3 akabva Judhiya, akaendazve muGarirea.
he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
4 Asi wakange achifanira kugura neSamaria.
And it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.
5 Zvino wakasvika paguta reSamaria rinonzi Sikari, pedo nedunhu Jakobho raakange apa Josefa mwanakomana wake.
So he comes to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Zvino chitubu chaJakobho chakange chiripo. Naizvozvo Jesu aneta nerwendo wakagara saizvozvo pachitubu. Raiva awa rinenge rechitanhatu.
And Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied from the journey, thus was sitting on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Kwakasvika mukadzi achibva muSamaria kuzochera mvura; Jesu akati kwaari: Ndipe ndinwe.
A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
8 (Nokuti vadzidzi vake vakange vaenda muguta kunotenga kudya).
For his disciples had gone away into the city so that they might buy food.
9 Naizvozvo mukadzi ari muSamaria wakati kwaari: Sei iwe uri muJudha uchikumbira kunwa kwandiri, mukadzi muSamaria? Nokuti VaJudha havadyidzani neVaSamaria.
The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How do thou, being Jewish, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman, for Jews do not associate with Samaritans?
10 Jesu akapindura akati kwaari: Dai waiziva chipo chaMwari, uye kuti ndiani anoti kwauri: Ndipe ndinwe; ungadai waikumbira kwaari, uye ungadai akupa mvura mhenyu.
Jesus answered and said to her, If thou had known the gift of God, and who it is who says to thee, Give me to drink, thou would have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, hamuna chinhu chekucheresa, uye tsime rakadzika; zvino munoitora kupi mvura mhenyu?
The woman says to him, Sir, thou have not even a container, and the well is deep. From where then have thou the living water?
12 Imwi muri mukuru kuna baba vedu Jakobho, vakatipa tsime, vakanwa pariri ivo, nevana vavo, nezvipfuwo zvavo here?
Are thou greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his livestock?
13 Jesu akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Ani nani anonwa pamvura iyi, achava nenyotazve;
Jesus answered and said to her, Every man who drinks of this water will thirst again,
14 asi ani nani anonwa pamvura yandichamupa ini, haachatongozovi nenyota nekusingaperi; asi mvura yandichamupa ichava maari chitubu chemvura, inodzutukira kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōn , aiōnios )
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will, no, not thirst into the age. But the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life. (aiōn , aiōnios )
15 Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndipei mvura iyi, kuti ndirege kuva nenyota, kana kuuya pano kuzochera.
The woman says to him, Give me this water, sir, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw out.
16 Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, unodana murume wako, ugouya pano.
Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
17 Mukadzi akapindura ndokuti: Handina murume. Jesu akati kwaari: Wareva zvakanaka kuti: Handina murume.
The woman answered and said to him, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Thou said correctly, I have no husband.
18 Nokuti wakava nevarume vashanu, uyo waunaye ikozvino haasi murume wako; apa wareva chokwadi.
For thou have had five husbands, and he whom thou now have is not thy husband. This thou have said true.
19 Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndinoona kuti imwi muri muporofita.
The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that thou are a prophet.
20 Madzibaba edu ainamata mugomo iri; asi imwi munoti muJerusarema ndimo munzvimbo munhu yaanofanira kunamatapo.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.
21 Jesu akati kwaari: Mukadzi, nditende, kuti awa rinouya, ramuchashumira Baba musiri mugomo iri, kana paJerusarema.
Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour is coming when neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem will ye worship the Father.
22 Imwi munonamata chamusingazivi; isu tinoshumira chatinoziva; nokuti ruponeso rwunobva kuVaJudha.
Ye worship what ye do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
23 Asi awa rinouya, uye ratova iro, apo vanamati vechokwadi vachanamata Baba mumweya nemuchokwadi; nokutiwo Baba vanotsvaka vakadaro kuti vavanamate.
But an hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for also the Father seeks such kind who worship him.
24 Mwari Mweya; neavo vanomunamata vanofanira kunamata mumweya nemuchokwadi.
God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
25 Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ndinoziva kuti Mesiasi anouya anonzi Kristu; kana iye asvika, achatiudza zvinhu zvese.
The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When that man comes he will declare all things to us.
26 Jesu akati kwaari: Ini ndinotaura kwauri, ndini.
Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am the man.
27 Zvino nenguva iyi vadzidzi vake vakasvika, vakashamisika kuti anotaura nemukadzi; asi hakuna umwe wakati: Munotsvakei? Kana: Munotaurirei naye?
And upon this his disciples came. And they marveled that he spoke with the woman, yet no man said, What seek thou? or, Why do thou speak with her?
28 Naizvozvo mukadzi akasiya chirongo chake, ndokubva oenda muguta, akati kuvanhu:
The woman therefore left her water pot, and departed into the city, and says to the men,
29 Uyai, muone munhu, wandiudza zvinhu zvese zvandakaita; ko uyu haasi iye Kristu here?
Come, see a man who told me all, as many things as I did. Is not this the Christ?
30 Naizvozvo vakabuda muguta, vakauya kwaari.
They went out of the city, and came to him.
31 Zvichakadaro vadzidzi vakamunyengetedza vachiti: Rabhi, idyai.
In the meanwhile the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
32 Asi iye wakati kwavari: Ini ndine kudya kwekudya kwamusingazivi imwi.
But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not.
33 Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakataurirana vachiti: Kuti pane umwe wamuvigira zvekudya?
The disciples therefore said to each other, Did any man bring him to eat?
34 Jesu akati kwavari: Zvekudya zvangu ndizvo kuti ndiite chido chewakandituma, nekupedza basa rake.
Jesus says to them, My food is that I do the will of him who sent me, and may finish his work.
35 Imwi hamutauri here kuti: Kuchine mwedzi mina, zvino kukohwa kunosvika? Tarirai, ndinoti kwamuri: Simudzai meso enyu, muone minda, kuti yatochenera kukohwa.
Do ye not say, There are still four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are already white for harvest.
36 Zvino anokohwa anogamuchira mubairo, uye anounganidza zvibereko muupenyu husingaperi; kuti vaviri anokusha neanokohwa vafare pamwe. (aiōnios )
And he who reaps receives a wage and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios )
37 Nokuti pane izvi shumo ndeyechokwadi inoti: Umwe anokusha, uye umwe anokohwa.
For in this the saying is true, One is who sows, and another who reaps.
38 Ini ndakakutumai kukohwa zvamusakashandira; vamwe vakashanda, zvino imwi mapinda pabasa ravo.
I sent you to reap what ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.
39 Zvino vazhinji veVaSamaria kubva muguta iro vakatenda kwaari nekuda kweshoko remukadzi, rakapupura richiti: Wandiudza zvese zvandakaita.
And many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all, as many things as I did.
40 Zvino VaSamaria vakati vachisvika kwaari, vakamunyengetedza kuti agare navo; ndokugarapo mazuva maviri.
So when the Samaritans came to him they asked him to remain with them, and he remained there two days.
41 Vazhinji vakawedzerwa vakatenda nekuda kweshoko rake.
And many more believed because of his word.
42 Zvino vakati kumukadzi: Hatichatendi nekuda kwekureva kwako; nokuti tazvinzwira, uye tinoziva kuti uyu ndiye zvirokwazvo Muponesi wenyika, Kristu.
And they said to the woman, We no longer believe because of thy speaking, for we have heard ourselves, and know that this really is the Savior of the world, the Christ.
43 Zvino shure kwemazuva maviri wakabvapo, ndokuenda kuGarirea;
And after the two days he departed from there and went into Galilee.
44 nokuti Jesu amene wakapupura kuti muporofita haana rukudzo munyika yekwake.
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own fatherland.
45 Zvino wakati asvika kuGarirea, VaGarirea vakamugamuchira, vaona zvinhu zvese zvaakaita paJerusarema pamabiko, nokuti naivo vakange vaenda kumabiko.
So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
46 Zvino Jesu wakasvikazve paKana yeGarirea, paakange aita mvura ive waini. Zvino pakange pane rimwe jinda, mwanakomana waro wakange achirwara paKapenaume.
Jesus therefore came again to Cana of Galilee where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Iro rakati richinzwa kuti Jesu wabva Judhiya akasvika kuGarirea, rikaenda kwaari, rikamugombedzera kuti aburukire aporese mwanakomana waro; nokuti wakange odofa.
This man having heard that Jesus comes out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was going to die.
48 Naizvozvo Jesu akati kwariri: Kunze kwekuti maona zviratidzo nezvishamiso, hamungatongotendi.
Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye may see signs and wonders, ye will, no, not believe.
49 Jinda rikati kwaari: Ishe, burukai mwana wangu asati afa.
The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
50 Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, mwanakomana wako anorarama. Munhu ndokutenda shoko Jesu raakareva kwaari, akaenda.
Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and he departed.
51 Zvino wakati oburuka, varanda vake vakamuchingamidza, vakamuudza vachiti: Mwana wenyu anorarama.
And as he was now going down, his bondmen met him and reported, saying, Thy boy lives.
52 Zvino akavabvunza awa raakatanga kunaya. Zvino vakati kwaari: Zuro neawa rechinomwe fivhiri yakamuregedza.
So he inquired of them the hour in which he fared well. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Naizvozvo baba vakaziva kuti maiva imo muawa Jesu maakati kwaari: Mwanakomana wako anorarama; zvino akatenda iye neimba yake yese.
So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives. And he himself believed and his whole house.
54 Ichizve chiratidzo chechipiri Jesu chaakaita, abva Judhiya asvika Garirea.
This again is a second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
