< Janez 4 >

1 Ko je torej Gospod izvedel, kako so farizeji slišali, da je Jezus pridobil in krstil več učencev kakor Janez,
Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
2 (čeprav Jezus sam ni krščeval, temveč njegovi učenci),
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 je zapustil Judejo in ponovno odšel v Galilejo.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Brezpogojno pa je moral iti skozi Samarijo.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Potem je prišel v samarijsko mesto, ki se imenuje Sihár, blizu kosa zemljišča, ki ga je Jakob dal svojemu sinu Jožefu.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Torej tam [pa] je bil Jakobov vodnjak. Jezus zatorej, opešan od svojega potovanja, tako sede na vodnjak; bilo pa je okoli šeste ure.
Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.
7 Tja prihaja ženska iz Samarije, da zajame vode. Jezus ji reče: »Daj mi piti.«
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 (Kajti njegovi učenci so odšli proč v mesto, da kupijo hrano.)
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Potem mu ženska iz Samarije reče: »Kako je to, da ti, ki si Jud, prosiš piti od mene, ki sem ženska iz Samarije? Kajti Judje s Samarijani nimajo nobenega opravka.«
"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jezus je odgovoril in ji rekel: »Če bi poznala Božji dar in kdo je, ki ti govori: ›Daj mi, da pijem, ‹ bi prosila od njega in dal bi ti žive vode.«
"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
11 Ženska mu reče: »Gospod, nimaš s čim zajeti, vodnjak pa je globok. Od kod imaš potem to živo vodo?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Ali si ti večji kakor naš oče Jakob, ki nam je dal vodnjak in je od tega pil on sam in njegovi otroci in njegova živina?«
Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"
13 Jezus je odgovoril in ji rekel: »Kdorkoli pije od te vode, bo ponovno žejen,
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
14 toda kdorkoli pije od vode, ki mu jo bom jaz dal, ne bo nikoli žejen, temveč bo voda, ki mu jo bom jaz dal, postala v njem izvir vode, ki izvira v večno življenje.« (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages." (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 Ženska mu reče: »Gospod, daj mi te vode, da ne bom žejna niti ne bom hodila sèm zajemat.«
"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."
16 Jezus ji reče: »Pojdi, pokliči svojega soproga in pridi sèm.«
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Ženska je odgovorila in rekla: »Nimam soproga.« Jezus ji je rekel: »To si dobro povedala: ›Nimam soproga, ‹
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 kajti imela si pet soprogov in ta, ki ga imaš sedaj, ni tvoj soprog. To si iskreno povedala.«
"for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that."
19 Ženska mu reče: »Gospod, zaznavam, da si prerok.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Naši očetje so oboževali na tej gori, vi pa pravite, da je v Jeruzalemu kraj, kjer morajo ljudje oboževati.«
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Jezus ji reče: »Ženska, veruj mi, prihaja ura, ko ne boste oboževali Očeta ne na tej gori niti ne v Jeruzalemu.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Vi obožujete, česar ne poznate. Mi vemo kaj obožujemo, kajti rešitev duš je od Judov.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Toda prihaja ura in je sedaj, ko bodo pravi oboževalci oboževali Očeta v duhu in resnici, kajti Oče išče takšne, da ga obožujejo.
But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.
24 Bog je Duh, tisti pa, ki ga obožujejo, ga morajo oboževati v duhu in v resnici.«
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Ženska mu reče: »Vem, da prihaja Mesija, ki se imenuje Kristus. Ko pride, nam bo povedal vse stvari.«
"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."
26 Jezus ji reče: » Jaz, ki ti govorim, sem ta.«
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Zatem pa so prišli njegovi učenci in se čudili, da se je pogovarjal z žensko, vendarle noben človek ni rekel: ›Kaj iščeš?‹ ali: ›Zakaj govoriš z njo?‹
Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Tedaj je ženska pustila svojo posodo za vodo in odšla svojo pot v mesto ter reče ljudem:
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 »Pridite, poglejte človeka, ki mi je povedal vse stvari, ki sem jih kdaj storila. Ali ni to Kristus?«
"Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
30 Potem so odšli iz mesta in prišli k njemu.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Medtem pa so ga njegovi učenci prosili, rekoč: »Učitelj, jej.«
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Vendar jim je rekel: »Jaz imam za jed hrano, ki je vi ne poznate.«
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Zato so učenci drug drugemu rekli: »Ali mu je katerikoli človek prinesel kaj za jesti?«
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Jezus jim reče: »Moja hrana je, da izvršim voljo tistega, ki me je poslal in da zaključim njegovo delo.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Ali ne pravite: ›Še štiri mesece in potem prihaja žetev?‹ Glejte, povem vam: ›Povzdignite svoje oči in poglejte na polja, kajti že so bela za žetev.‹
Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.
36 In kdor žanje, prejema plače in zbira sad za večno življenje, da se lahko skupaj veselita oba, kdor seje in kdor žanje. (aiōnios g166)
The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 In v tem je ta beseda resnična: ›Eden seje, drugi pa žanje.‹
For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
38 Pošiljam vas, da požanjete to, za kar niste priložili nobenega truda. Drugi ljudje so se trudili, vi pa ste vstopili v njihove napore.«
I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours."
39 In mnogi izmed Samarijanov iz tega mesta so verovali vanj zaradi besed ženske, ki je pričevala: »Povedal mi je vse, kar sem kdaj storila.«
Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done."
40 Torej ko so Samarijani prišli k njemu, so ga rotili, da bi ostal z njimi. In ostal je tam dva dni.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 In veliko več jih je verovalo zaradi njegove lastne besede.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Ženski pa so rekli: »Sedaj verjamemo, ne zaradi tvojih besed, kajti sami smo ga slišali in vemo, da je ta zares Kristus, Odrešenik sveta.«
and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."
43 Torej po dveh dneh je odšel od tam in šel v Galilejo.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Kajti Jezus je sam izpričal, da prerok v svoji lastni deželi nima spoštovanja.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Potem ko je prišel v Galilejo, so ga Galilejci sprejeli, ker so videli vse stvari, ki jih je na praznik storil v Jeruzalemu, kajti tudi sami so odšli na praznik.
When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
46 Tako je Jezus ponovno prišel v galilejsko Kano, kjer je vodo spremenil v vino. Tam pa je bil nek visoki plemič, čigar sin je bil bolan v Kafarnáumu.
So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
47 Ko je slišal, da je Jezus prišel iz Judeje v Galilejo, je odšel k njemu in ga rotil, da bi prišel dol in ozdravil njegovega sina, kajti ta je bil na točki smrti.
Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Tedaj mu je Jezus rekel: »Razen če ne vidite znamenj in čudežev, ne boste verovali.«
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Visoki plemič mu reče: »Gospod, pridi dol, preden moj otrok umre.«
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Jezus mu reče: »Pojdi svojo pot, tvoj sin živi.« In mož je verjel besedi, ki mu jo je Jezus govoril in je odšel svojo pot.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Ko je torej šel navzdol, so ga srečali njegovi služabniki in mu povedali, rekoč: »Tvoj sin živi.«
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Potem je od njih poizvedel uro, ko je začel okrevati. In oni so mu rekli: »Včeraj ob sedmi uri ga je vročica pustila.«
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Tako je oče spoznal, da je bilo to ob isti uri, ob kateri mu je Jezus rekel: »Tvoj sin živi.« In veroval je on sam in njegova celotna hiša.
Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.
54 To je spet drugi čudež, ki ga je Jezus storil, ko je prišel iz Judeje v Galilejo.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
