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—Jesus, more disciples, is making and immersing, than John, —
2 kunyange Jesu pachake wakange asingabhabhatidzi, asi vadzidzi vake,
although indeed, Jesus himself, was not immersing, but his disciples,
3 akabva Judhiya, akaendazve muGarirea.
he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Asi wakange achifanira kugura neSamaria.
Now he must needs pass through Samaria.
5 Zvino wakasvika paguta reSamaria rinonzi Sikari, pedo nedunhu Jakobho raakange apa Josefa mwanakomana wake.
He cometh, therefore, unto a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground which Jacob gave unto Joseph his son.
6 Zvino chitubu chaJakobho chakange chiripo. Naizvozvo Jesu aneta nerwendo wakagara saizvozvo pachitubu. Raiva awa rinenge rechitanhatu.
Now Jacob’s fountain was there. Jesus, therefore, having become toil-worn with the journey, was sitting thus, upon the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Kwakasvika mukadzi achibva muSamaria kuzochera mvura; Jesu akati kwaari: Ndipe ndinwe.
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her—Give me to drink!
8 (Nokuti vadzidzi vake vakange vaenda muguta kunotenga kudya).
for, his disciples, had gone away into the city, that, food, they might buy.
9 Naizvozvo mukadzi ari muSamaria wakati kwaari: Sei iwe uri muJudha uchikumbira kunwa kwandiri, mukadzi muSamaria? Nokuti VaJudha havadyidzani neVaSamaria.
The Samaritan woman, therefore, saith unto him—How dost, thou, being, a Jew, ask to drink, of me, who am, a Samaritan woman? [for, Jews, have no dealings 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 unto her—If thou hadst known the free gift of God, and who it is that is saying unto thee, Give me to drink, thou, wouldst 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?
She saith unto him—Sir! not even a bucket, hast thou, —and, the well, is, deep: —Whence, then, hast thou the living water?
12 Imwi muri mukuru kuna baba vedu Jakobho, vakatipa tsime, vakanwa pariri ivo, nevana vavo, nezvipfuwo zvavo here?
Art, thou, greater than, our father Jacob, who gave us the well, —and, himself, out of it drank, and his sons, and his flocks?
13 Jesu akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Ani nani anonwa pamvura iyi, achava nenyotazve;
Jesus answered, and said unto her—Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst, again;
15 Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndipei mvura iyi, kuti ndirege kuva nenyota, kana kuuya pano kuzochera.
The woman saith unto him—Sir! give me this water, that I thirst not, neither be coming hither to draw.
16 Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, unodana murume wako, ugouya pano.
He saith unto her—Go, call thy husband, and come hither!
17 Mukadzi akapindura ndokuti: Handina murume. Jesu akati kwaari: Wareva zvakanaka kuti: Handina murume.
The woman answered, and said [unto him]—I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her—Well, saidst thou, A husband, I have not;
18 Nokuti wakava nevarume vashanu, uyo waunaye ikozvino haasi murume wako; apa wareva chokwadi.
for, five husbands, thou hast had, —and, now, he whom thou hast, is not thy, husband: This true thing, hast thou spoken.
19 Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndinoona kuti imwi muri muporofita.
The woman saith unto him—Sir! I perceive that, a prophet, art, thou: —
20 Madzibaba edu ainamata mugomo iri; asi imwi munoti muJerusarema ndimo munzvimbo munhu yaanofanira kunamatapo.
Our fathers, in this mountain, worshipped; and, ye, say, that, in Jerusalem, is the place, where, to worship, it behoveth.
21 Jesu akati kwaari: Mukadzi, nditende, kuti awa rinouya, ramuchashumira Baba musiri mugomo iri, kana paJerusarema.
Jesus saith unto her—Believe me, woman! There cometh an hour, when, neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
22 Imwi munonamata chamusingazivi; isu tinoshumira chatinoziva; nokuti ruponeso rwunobva kuVaJudha.
Ye, worship, that which ye know not; We, worship, that which we know; because, salvation, is, of the Jews.
23 Asi awa rinouya, uye ratova iro, apo vanamati vechokwadi vachanamata Baba mumweya nemuchokwadi; nokutiwo Baba vanotsvaka vakadaro kuti vavanamate.
But there cometh an hour, and, now, is, —when, the real worshippers, shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for, even the Father, is seeking, such as these, as his worshippers.
24 Mwari Mweya; neavo vanomunamata vanofanira kunamata mumweya nemuchokwadi.
God is, spirit; and, they that worship him, in spirit and truth, must needs worship.
25 Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ndinoziva kuti Mesiasi anouya anonzi Kristu; kana iye asvika, achatiudza zvinhu zvese.
The woman saith unto him—I know that, Messiah, cometh, who is called Christ, —Whensoever, he, shall come, he will tell us, everything.
26 Jesu akati kwaari: Ini ndinotaura kwauri, ndini.
Jesus saith unto her—I, that speak unto thee, am he.
27 Zvino nenguva iyi vadzidzi vake vakasvika, vakashamisika kuti anotaura nemukadzi; asi hakuna umwe wakati: Munotsvakei? Kana: Munotaurirei naye?
And, hereupon, came his disciples, and they began to marvel, that, with a woman, he was talking. No one, however, said—What seekest thou? or—Why talkest thou with her?
28 Naizvozvo mukadzi akasiya chirongo chake, ndokubva oenda muguta, akati kuvanhu:
The woman, therefore, left her water-vessel, and went away into the city, and saith unto the men—
29 Uyai, muone munhu, wandiudza zvinhu zvese zvandakaita; ko uyu haasi iye Kristu here?
Come! see a man, that told me all things that ever I did: Can, this, be, the Christ?
30 Naizvozvo vakabuda muguta, vakauya kwaari.
They came forth out of the city, and were coming unto him.
31 Zvichakadaro vadzidzi vakamunyengetedza vachiti: Rabhi, idyai.
In the meantime, the disciples were requesting him, saying—Rabbi! eat.
32 Asi iye wakati kwavari: Ini ndine kudya kwekudya kwamusingazivi imwi.
But, he, said unto them—I, have, food, to eat, of which, ye, know not.
33 Naizvozvo vadzidzi vakataurirana vachiti: Kuti pane umwe wamuvigira zvekudya?
The disciples, therefore, began to say, one to another—Hath anyone brought him, to eat?
34 Jesu akati kwavari: Zvekudya zvangu ndizvo kuti ndiite chido chewakandituma, nekupedza basa rake.
Jesus saith unto them—My food, is, that I should do the will of him that sent me, and complete, his work.
35 Imwi hamutauri here kuti: Kuchine mwedzi mina, zvino kukohwa kunosvika? Tarirai, ndinoti kwamuri: Simudzai meso enyu, muone minda, kuti yatochenera kukohwa.
Are, ye, not saying—Yet, a fourmonth, it is, and, the harvest, cometh? Lo! I say unto you—Lift up your eyes, and gaze at the fields, —that, white, are they unto, harvest. Already,
36 Zvino anokohwa anogamuchira mubairo, uye anounganidza zvibereko muupenyu husingaperi; kuti vaviri anokusha neanokohwa vafare pamwe. (aiōnios g166)
he that reapeth, receiveth, a reward, and gathereth fruit unto life age-abiding; that, he that soweth, together may rejoice, with him that reapeth. (aiōnios g166)
37 Nokuti pane izvi shumo ndeyechokwadi inoti: Umwe anokusha, uye umwe anokohwa.
For, herein, doth the saying, hold good, —One, is the sower, and, another, is the reaper.
38 Ini ndakakutumai kukohwa zvamusakashandira; vamwe vakashanda, zvino imwi mapinda pabasa ravo.
I, sent you forth, to be reaping that whereon, ye, have not toiled: Others, have toiled, and, ye, into their toil, have entered.
39 Zvino vazhinji veVaSamaria kubva muguta iro vakatenda kwaari nekuda kweshoko remukadzi, rakapupura richiti: Wandiudza zvese zvandakaita.
And, out of that city, many, believed on him—of the Samaritans, —by reason of the word of the woman in bearing witness—He told me all things that ever I did.
40 Zvino VaSamaria vakati vachisvika kwaari, vakamunyengetedza kuti agare navo; ndokugarapo mazuva maviri.
When, therefore, the Samaritans came unto him, they went on to request him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.
41 Vazhinji vakawedzerwa vakatenda nekuda kweshoko rake.
And, many more, believed by reason of his discourse;
42 Zvino vakati kumukadzi: Hatichatendi nekuda kwekureva kwako; nokuti tazvinzwira, uye tinoziva kuti uyu ndiye zvirokwazvo Muponesi wenyika, Kristu.
and, unto the woman, began to say—No longer, by reason of thy talk, do we believe; for, we ourselves, have heard, and know that, This One, is, in truth, the Saviour of the world.
43 Zvino shure kwemazuva maviri wakabvapo, ndokuenda kuGarirea;
But, after the two days, he went forth from thence, into Galilee.
44 nokuti Jesu amene wakapupura kuti muporofita haana rukudzo munyika yekwake.
For, Jesus himself, bare witness, that, a prophet, in his own fatherland, hath not, honour.
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 Galilaeans welcomed him, having seen, all things, whatsoever he had done in Jerusalem during the feast; for, they also, went unto the feast.
46 Zvino Jesu wakasvikazve paKana yeGarirea, paakange aita mvura ive waini. Zvino pakange pane rimwe jinda, mwanakomana waro wakange achirwara paKapenaume.
So he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water, wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose son was sick, in Capernaum.
47 Iro rakati richinzwa kuti Jesu wabva Judhiya akasvika kuGarirea, rikaenda kwaari, rikamugombedzera kuti aburukire aporese mwanakomana waro; nokuti wakange odofa.
The same, hearing that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, came away unto him, and began requesting him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was on the point of dying.
48 Naizvozvo Jesu akati kwariri: Kunze kwekuti maona zviratidzo nezvishamiso, hamungatongotendi.
Jesus therefore said unto him—Except, signs and wonders, ye see, in nowise will ye believe.
49 Jinda rikati kwaari: Ishe, burukai mwana wangu asati afa.
The courtier saith unto him—Sir! come down, ere my child die!
50 Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, mwanakomana wako anorarama. Munhu ndokutenda shoko Jesu raakareva kwaari, akaenda.
Jesus saith unto him—Be going thy way: thy son, liveth! And the man believed in the word which Jesus spake to him, and at once went his way.
51 Zvino wakati oburuka, varanda vake vakamuchingamidza, vakamuudza vachiti: Mwana wenyu anorarama.
And, when he was even now going down, his servants, met him, saying, that, his boy, was living.
52 Zvino akavabvunza awa raakatanga kunaya. Zvino vakati kwaari: Zuro neawa rechinomwe fivhiri yakamuregedza.
So he enquired the hour, from them, when he began, to amend. They said, therefore, unto 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 took note that it was, in that hour, wherein Jesus said unto him—Thy son, liveth! and he believed, he, and all his house.
54 Ichizve chiratidzo chechipiri Jesu chaakaita, abva Judhiya asvika Garirea.
Now, this again, as, a second sign, Jesus did, after coming out of Judaea into Galilee.
