Yooxanaa 4
1 Kolkii Ciise ogaaday inay Farrisiintu maqleen inuu yeelanayay oo baabtiisayay xer ka badan intii Yooxanaa
[At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
2 (in kastoo Ciise qudhiisu uusan baabtiisin, laakiin xertiisu way baabtiisayeen),
3 ayuu Yuhuudiya ka tegey, wuxuuna mar kale u kacay Galili.
When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
4 Oo wuxuu lahaa inuu Samaariya dhex maro.
[He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
5 Haddaba wuxuu yimid magaalada Samaariya, oo Sukhar la odhan jiray, oo ku dhowayd dalkii Yacquub siiyey wiilkiisii Yuusuf.
So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
6 Waxaana meeshaas jiray ceelkii Yacquub. Haddaba Ciise oo sodcaal ku soo daalay, wuxuu fadhiistay ceelka agtiisa. Saacaddiina waxay ku qiyaasnayd lixda.
The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
7 Markaasaa waxaa timid naag reer Samaariya ah inay biyo dhaansato. Kolkaasaa Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi iyada, I waraabi.
8 Maxaa yeelay, xertiisii magaaladay ku maqnaayeen inay cunto soo iibsadaan.
9 Naagtii reer Samaariya ahayd waxay haddaba ku tidhi isaga, Sidee baad, adigoo Yuhuudi ah, biyo ii weyddiisanaysaa, anigoo naag reer Samaariya ah? (Waayo, dan iskuma leh Yuhuudda iyo reer Samaariya.)
so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
10 Ciise waa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi iyada, Haddaad garanaysid hadiyaddii Ilaah iyo kuu yahay kan kugu leh, I waraabi, adigu waad weyddiisan lahayd isaga, oo wuxuu ku siin lahaa biyaha nool.
Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
11 Naagtii waxay ku tidhi, Sayidow, waxaad biyo ku dhaansato ma haysatid, ceelkuna wuu dheer yahay. Haddaba xaggee baad ka helaysaa biyaha nool?
She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
12 Miyaad ka weyn tahay awowahayagii Yacquub oo ceelka na siiyey oo isaga qudhiisu ka cabbay iyo wiilashiisii iyo xoolihiisuba?
Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
13 Ciise ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi iyada, Kii kasta oo biyahan ka cabbaa, mar kale wuu harraadi doonaa,
Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
15 Naagtii waxay ku tidhi, Sayidow, biyahan i sii inaanan haddana harraadin oo aanan halkan iman inaan ka dhaansado.
The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
16 Markaasaa Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag oo ninkaagii u soo yeedh, oo halkan kaalay.
[Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
17 Naagtii ayaa u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Nin ma lihi. Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Run baad ku hadashay, Nin ma lihi.
She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
18 Waayo, shan nin baad lahayd, kan aad haddeer haysatidna ninkaagii ma aha. Taas run baad ku sheegtay.
It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
19 Naagtii waxay ku tidhi, Sayidow, waan gartay inaad nebi tahay.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
20 Awowayaashayo buurtan ayay ku caabudi jireen, idinkuse waxaad tidhaahdaan, Yeruusaalem waa meeshii la leeyahay in lagu caabudo.
But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
21 Markaasaa Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Naag yahay, i rumee, saacaddu waa imanaysaa markii aydnaan Aabbaha ku caabudi doonin ama buurtan ama Yeruusaalem midnaba.
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
22 Idinku waxaad caabuddaan waxaydnaan oqoon, annaguse waxaannu caabudnaa waxaannu naqaan, waayo, badbaadintu waxay ka timaadaa Yuhuudda.
You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
23 Laakiin saacaddii baa imanaysa, waana joogtaa imminkada, markii caabudayaasha runta ihi ay Aabbaha ku caabudi doonaan ruuxa iyo runta, waayo, Aabbuhu wuxuu doonayaa caabudayaashaas oo kale.
However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
24 Ilaah waa Ruux, kuwa caabudaa isagana waa inay ku caabudaan ruuxa iyo runta.
God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
25 Naagtii waxay ku tidhi, Waa ogahay Masiixu inuu imanayo (kan Kiristoos la yidhaahdo); oo markuu yimaado, wax walba ayuu noo sheegi doonaa.
The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
26 Markaasaa Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigoo kula hadlaya ayaa ah isaga.
Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
27 Isla markii waxaa timid xertiisii, wayna la yaabeen markay arkeen inuu naag la hadlayo. Weliba ninna ma odhan, Maxaad doonaysaa? amase, Maxaad ula hadlaysaa iyada?
Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Sidaa aawadeed naagtii ayaa ashuunkeedii ka tagtay, oo magaaladay u baxday, oo waxay ku tidhi dadkii,
The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
29 Kaalaya oo arka ninkii ii sheegay wax walba oo aan sameeyey. Miyaanu kani ahayn Masiixa?
“Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
30 Markaasay magaaladii ka soo baxeen, wayna u imanayeen isagii.
So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
31 Kolkaasay xertiisii baryeen iyagoo leh, Macallimow, wax cun.
Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
32 Laakiin wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan haystaa cunto aan cuno oo aydnaan ogayn.
But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
33 Haddaba xertiisii waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Ma loo keenay wuxuu cuno?
So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
34 Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Cuntadaydu waa inaan sameeyo doonistii kii i soo diray oo aan shuqulkiisa dhammeeyo.
Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
35 Miyaydnaan odhanin, Waxaa weli hadhay afar bilood oo markaas ayaa beerta la gooynayaa? Bal eega, waxaan idin leeyahay, Indhihiinna kor u qaada oo daya beeraha inay u cad yihiin beergooyska.
[At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
36 Kii gooyaa mushahaaruu helaa, wuxuuna midho u ururiyaa nolosha weligeed ah, inay kii beera iyo kii gooyaaba isla farxaan. (aiōnios g166)
[If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
37 Hadalku waa ku run kan, Mid baa beera, mid kalena waa gooyaa.
As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
38 Waxaan idiin diray inaad gooysaan wixii aydnaan ku hawshoon. Kuwa kale baa hawshooday, hawshoodiina waad gasheen.
I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
39 Waxaa magaaladaas ka rumaystay isaga dad badan oo reer Samaariya ah, hadalkii naagta aawadiis, markay marag furtay oo tidhi, Wuxuu ii sheegay wax walba oo aan sameeyey.
Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
40 Sidaa darteed markii dadka reer Samaariya ah u yimaadeen isaga, way baryeen inuu la joogo, wuxuuna halkaas joogay laba maalmood.
So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
41 Markaasaa kuwo kale oo badani rumaysteen hadalkiisii aawadiis,
Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
42 oo waxay naagtii ku yidhaahdeen, Imminka waxaannu u rumaysanaynaa ma aha hadalkaaga aawadiis, maxaa yeelay, qudhayadu waannu maqalnay, waannuna naqaan kanu inuu runtii yahay Badbaadiyaha dunida.
They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
43 Labadaas maalmood dabadeed meeshaas ayuu ka tegey oo Galili aaday.
Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
44 Oo Ciise ayaa ka marag kacay inaan nebi waddankiis murwad ku lahayn.
45 Haddaba markuu Galili yimid, dadkii Galili way soo dhoweeyeen, iyagoo arkay wuxuu ku sameeyey Yeruusaalem oo dhan wakhtigii iidda, waayo, iyaguna iiddii way tageen.
However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
46 Haddaba mar kale ayuu yimid Kaana tii Galili oo ahayd meeshuu biyihii khamriga kaga dhigay. Meeshaasna waxaa joogay sirkaal wiilkiisii ku bukay Kafarna'um.
Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
47 Isagu markuu maqlay inuu Ciise Yahuudiya ka yimid oo Galili gaadhay, ayuu u tegey oo ka baryay inuu u yimaado oo wiilkiisa bogsiiyo, waayo, dhimashuu u dhowaa.
When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
48 Haddaba Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddaanad calaamooyin iyo yaabab arkin, marnaba ma rumaysan doontaan.
Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
49 Sirkaalkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Sayidow, kaalay intaan wiilkaygu dhiman.
But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
50 Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Soco, wiilkaagii waa nool yahay. Markaasaa ninkii rumaystay hadalkii Ciise ku yidhi, wuuna socday.
Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
51 Intuu socday ayaa addoommadiisii ka hor yimaadeen, iyagoo leh, Wiilkaagii waa nool yahay.
[The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
52 Markaasuu wuxuu iyagii weyddiiyey saacadduu ladnaaday. Waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Shalayto saacaddii toddobaad ayaa qandhadii daysay.
He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
53 Markaasaa aabbuhu gartay inay saacaddaas ahayd saacaddii Ciise ku yidhi, Wiilkaagii waa nool yahay. Markaasaa isagii qudhiisu rumaystay iyo kuwii gurigiisii joogay oo dhan.
Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
54 Haddaba tanu waa calaamadii labaad oo Ciise sameeyey markuu Yahuudiya ka tegey oo Galili yimid.
That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
