Yohane 4
1 Bafalisi balanyumfweti Yesu lasandulunga bantu bangi kuba beshikwiya ne kubabatisha kupita Yohane,
Therefore when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John"
2 Yesu uliya kubatishapo muntu naba umo, nsombi beshikwiya bakendi ebalikubatisha.
(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples),
3 Yesu mpwalenshiba ncebalikwamba, walafumako kuYudeya ne kubwelela ku Galileya.
he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Pabulwendo bwakendi walaciboneti welela kupitila mucishi ca Samaliya.
He needed to pass through Samaria.
5 Lino walashika ku munshi waku Samaliya, walikukwiweti Sika, pepi ne kamusena ako Yakobo nkalapa Yosefe mwanendi.
So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
6 Kopeloko kwalikuba mukalo walikuba waYakobo. Yesu walekala panshi pambali pamukalo uyo, pakwinga walikuba laleme nemusuma. Cindi calikuba muma 12 koloko munshi.
Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Mutukashi wa kuSamaliya walesakuteka menshi. Yesu walamusengeti, “kamumpako menshi akunwa.”
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."
8 Pacindi ico beshikwiya bakendi balikuba balayi akula cakulya mumunshi.
For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Mutukashi usa walakumbuleti, “Amwe Bayuda, nicani mulasengenga menshi kuli nde Musamaliya?” Pakwinga Bayuda nkabendelana ne Basamaliya.
The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How can you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Yesu walambeti, “Nkocishi cipo Lesa ncalayandanga kukupa, kayi nkomwinshi lakusengenga menshi akunwa, numwinshi nshinga nulamusenge menshi eshikupa buyumi.”
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
11 Mutukashi uyo walambeti, “Nkambo, muliyawa cakutekesha, kayi mukalo uyu nutali, nomba menshi eshikupa buyumi ayo nimwafunye kupeyo?
The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where do you get that living water?
12 Sena amwe mwapita bata bakulukulu balikubako ba Yakobo? uyo walashiya mukalo uyu ngalikunwamo mwine ne bana bendi kayi ne biswika byakendi.”
Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
13 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Muntu uliyense lanunga menshi aya nakanyumfwe inyotwa kayi.
Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
15 Mutukashi uyo walambeti, “Nkambo, kamumpako ayo menshi kwambeti ntakanyumfwapo nyotwa nambi ntakesa kayi kuno akuteka menshi.”
The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."
16 Yesu walambeti, “Koya ukuwe baibobe mwise,”
He said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
17 Mutukashi uyo walambeti, “Ndiyawa mulume.” Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ulambanga cakubinga uliyawa mulume.
The woman answered and said to him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You said well, 'I have no husband,'
18 Obe walebwapo kendi kubatuloba basanu, kayi mutuloba ngoli nendi lino nte ibobe, mutukashi walambeti, mulamba cakubinga.”
for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."
19 Mutukashi walambeti, “Nkambo, ndacinshibi kwambeti njamwe Mushinshimi.
The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Bamashali betu bakulukulu balikupaila Lesa pa mulundu uyu, nsombi amwe Bayuda mukute kwambeti kuYelusalemu ekwelela kupailila.”
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
21 Yesu walamwambileti, “Koshoma ncendambanga.” Cindi nicikashike nceshi mukabule kupailila Bata pa mulundu pano, nambi kuYelusalemu.
Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
22 Basamaliya mukute kupaila ngo mutenshi, afwe Bayuda tukute kupaila ngotwinshi, pakwinga lupulusho nilukacanike kupitila mu Bayuda.
You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
23 “Nomba cindi nicikashike, kayi cilashiki kendi, bantu beshikupaila Cancine ncine mpoti bakapaile Bata mu Mushimu nemu cancine ncine. Bata bakute kuyanda bantu beshikumupaila mumushoboyo.
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
24 Lesa ni Mushimu, neco beshikumupaila bela kumupaila mu Mushimu ne mu Cancine ncine.”
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
25 Mutukashi usa walambeti, “Ndicinsheti Klistu Mupulushi Walaiwa lakesanga, akashika, nakatwambile byonse.”
The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes," (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."
26 Yesu walamwambileti, “Ame ngolambanga nendi njame wopeloyo.”
Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
27 Pacindi copeleco beshikwiya ba Yesu balashika, nomba balakankamana mpobalacana kabandika ne mutukashi. Paliya walamwipusheti, “Ulayandanga cani” Nambi, “Nicani mulabandikinga nendi?”
At this, his disciples came. They were surprised that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"
28 Mutukashi usa walashiya mungomo wakendi ne kuya mu munshi akwambila bantu,
So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
29 “Katuyani mubone muntu lang'ambili byonse mbyondalensa. Sena ngakali usa Mupulushi Walaiwa?
"Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?"
30 Lino bantu balayoboloka kufuma mumunshi kwisa kuli Yesu.”
They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 Pacindi copeleco beshikwiya ba Yesu balamusengeti, “Mwiyi, kamulyani.”
In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
32 Nendi walakumbuleti, “Ame nkute cakulya amwe ncomutenshi.”
But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."
33 Popelapo beshikwiya balatatika kwipushana, “Sena kuli naumbi lamuletele cakulya?”
The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"
34 Nomba Yesu walambeti, “Cakulya cakame nikwinsa ibyo mbyasuni Lesa walantuma ne kupwisha mulimo wakendi.”
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
35 Mukute kwambeti, pakati pakushanga ne kutebula pali myenshi ina nambi ingi, nsombi kamulangishisha bishango bilapi kendi, bilapembelengowa kutebula.
Do you not say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
36 Musebenshi shikutebula latatiki kendi kufola, kayi labunganyanga bisepo kubuymi butapu. Neco shikushanga ne shikutebula nibakakondwe pamo. (aiōnios g166)
He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to everlasting life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Neco mwambo wakwambeti, “Nabambi bakute kushanga, kayi nabambi bakute kwisa kutebula niwakubinga.”
For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'
38 Ndamutumunga kuya kutebula bishango mumabala alalimwa kendi ne bantu bambi. Amwe mulacaninipo pindu pa ncito yabo.
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
39 Basamaliya bangi ba mumunshi musa balamushoma Yesu pacebo cabukamboni bwa mutukashi usa, bwakwambeti, “nendi langambili byonse mbyondalensa.”
From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I did."
40 Lino Basamaliya mpobalashika kuli Yesu, balamusengeti ekale nabo. Neco walekala kopeloko masuba abili.
So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
41 Popelapo bantu bangi balashoma pacebo ca maswi ngobalanyumfwa kuli Yesu.
Many more believed because of his word.
42 Usa mutukashu balamwambileti, “Tulashomo lino, tuliya kushoma pacebo ca maswi akobe, nsombi pacebo cakwambeti tulalinyumfwili tobene. Tulenshibi cakubinga kwambeti uyu eMupulushi wa bantu ba pacishi capanshi conse.”
They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."
43 Nomba mpopalapita masuba abili, Yesu walafumako nekuya ku Galileya.
After the two days he departed from there to Galilee.
44 Nomba Yesu mwine walambeti, “mushinshimi, nkakute kupewa bulemu kucomwabo.”
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Mpwalashika kuGalileya, bantu balamutambula, pakwinga balabonapo kendi byonse mbyalensa pakusekelela Pasika ku Yelusalemu pakwinga naboyo balikubako.
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 Kufumapo Yesu walaya kumunshi wa kana ku Galileya, kusa nkwalasandula menshi kuba waini. Kopeloko kwalikuba mukulene wamfulumende ku Kapelenaumu walikukute mwana mulwashi.
Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Mpalanyumfweti Yesu lashiki kuGalileya kufuma kuYudeya, walesa kulyendiye nekumusengeti enga nendi ku Kapelenaumu, kwambeti enga ashilike mwanendi walikuba pepi kufwa.
When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and pleaded with him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was close to death.
48 Yesu walamwambileti, “wabula kubona bingashilo ne bikankamanisho, nkamushomo sobwe.”
Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."
49 Mukulene wa mfulumende walambeti, “Nkambo, katuyani pamo mwaname nkatanafwa.”
The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
50 Yesu walamwambileti, “Koya mwanobe lasenguku kendi.” Muntuyo walashoma maswi a Yesu nekuya kucomwabo.
Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
51 Mpwalikuya walakumana ne basebenshi bakendi, nabo balamwambileti, “Mwanenu laba cena.”
As he was now going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was alive.
52 Walabepusha cindi ncalaba cena mwanoyo, nabo balambeti, “Watatika kunyumfwa cena lilo munshi muma 1 koloko.”
So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at one in the afternoon, the fever left him."
53 Lino baishi mwana balanuketi ecindi Yesu mpwalabambileti, “Mwanobe lasenguku.” Neco bonse bamung'anda yakendi balamushoma.
So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.
54 Ici calikuba cingashilo cacibili ncalensa ku Kana, wa kuGalileya mpwalafuma ku Yudeya.
This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
