Juan 4
1 Nang maalaman nga ng Panginoon na nabalitaan ng mga Fariseo na si Jesus ay gumagawa at bumabautismo ng lalong maraming alagad kay sa kay Juan
[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 (Bagaman hindi bumabautismo si Jesus, kundi ang kaniyang mga alagad),
3 Nilisan niya ang Judea, at naparoong muli sa Galilea.
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 At kinakailangang magdaan siya sa Samaria.
[He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
5 Sumapit nga siya sa isang bayan ng Samaria, na tinatawag na Sicar, malapit sa bahagi ng lupang ibinigay ni Jacob kay Jose na kaniyang anak:
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 At naroon ang balon ni Jacob. Si Jesus nga, nang napapagod na sa kaniyang paglalakbay, ay naupong gayon sa tabi ng balon. Magiikaanim na nga ang oras.
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 Dumating ang isang babaing taga Samaria upang umigib ng tubig: sa kaniya'y sinabi ni Jesus, Painumin mo ako.
8 Sapagka't napasa bayan ang kaniyang mga alagad upang magsibili ng pagkain.
9 Sinabi nga sa kaniya ng babaing Samaritana, Paano ngang ikaw, na isang Judio, ay humingi ng maiinom sa akin, na ako'y babaing Samaritana? (Sapagka't hindi nangakikipagusap ang mga Judio sa mga Samaritano.)
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 Sumagot si Jesus at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Kung napagkikilala mo ang kaloob ng Dios, at kung sino ang sa iyo'y nagsasabi, Painumin mo ako; ikaw ay hihingi sa kaniya, at ikaw ay bibigyan niya ng tubig na buhay.
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 Sinabi sa kaniya ng babae, Ginoo, wala kang sukat isalok ng tubig, at malalim ang balon: saan nga naroon ang iyong tubig na buhay?
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 Dakila ka pa baga sa aming amang si Jacob, na sa ami'y nagbigay ng balon, at dito'y uminom siya, at ang kaniyang mga anak, at ang kaniyang mga hayop?
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 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kaniya, Ang bawa't uminom ng tubig na ito ay muling mauuhaw:
Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
15 Sinabi sa kaniya ng babae, Ginoo, ibigay mo sa akin ang tubig na ito, upang ako'y huwag mauhaw, ni pumarito man sa ganito kalayo upang umigib pa.
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 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Humayo ka, tawagin mo ang iyong asawa, at pumarito ka.
[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 Sumagot ang babae at sinabi sa kaniya, Wala akong asawa. Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Mabuti ang pagkasabi mo, Wala akong asawa:
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 Sapagka't nagkaroon ka na ng limang asawa; at ang nasa iyo ngayon ay hindi mo asawa: dito'y sinabi mo ang katotohanan.
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 Sinabi sa kaniya ng babae, Ginoo, napaghahalata kong ikaw ay isang propeta.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
20 Nagsisamba ang aming mga magulang sa bundok na ito; at sinasabi ninyo, na sa Jerusalem ay siyang dakong kinakailangang pagsambahan ng mga tao.
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 Sa kaniya'y sinabi ni Jesus, Babae, paniwalaan mo ako, na dumarating ang oras, na kahit sa bundok na ito, ni sa Jerusalem, ay hindi ninyo sasambahin ang Ama.
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 Sinasamba ninyo ang hindi ninyo nalalaman: sinasamba namin ang nalalaman namin; sapagka't ang kaligtasan ay nanggagaling sa mga Judio.
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 Datapuwa't dumarating ang oras, at ngayon nga, na sasambahin ng mga tunay na mananamba ang Ama sa espiritu at katotohanan: sapagka't hinahanap ng Ama ang mga gayon na maging mananamba sa kaniya.
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 Ang Dios ay Espiritu: at ang mga sa kaniya'y nagsisisamba ay kinakailangang magsisamba sa espiritu at sa katotohanan.
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 Sinabi sa kaniya ng babae, Nalalaman ko na paririto ang Mesias (ang tinatawag na Cristo): na pagparito niya, ay ipahahayag niya sa amin ang lahat ng mga bagay.
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 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Ako na nagsasalita sa iyo ay siya nga.
Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
27 At sa ganito'y nagsidating ang kaniyang mga alagad; at sila'y nangagtaka na siya'y nakikipagsalitaan sa isang babae; gayon ma'y walang taong nagsabi, Ano ang iyong hinahanap? o, Bakit nakikipagsalitaan ka sa kaniya?
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 Sa gayo'y iniwan ng babae ang kaniyang banga ng tubig, at napasa bayan, at sinabi sa mga tao,
The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
29 Magsiparito kayo, tingnan ninyo ang isang lalake, na nagsabi sa akin ng lahat ng mga bagay na aking ginawa: mangyayari kayang ito ang Cristo?
“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 Nagsilabas sila sa bayan, at nagsisiparoon sa kaniya.
So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
31 Samantala ay ipinamamanhik sa kaniya ng mga alagad, na nangagsasabi, Rabi, kumain ka.
Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
32 Datapuwa't sinabi niya sa kanila, Ako'y may pagkaing kakanin na hindi ninyo nalalaman.
But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
33 Ang mga alagad nga ay nangagsangusapan, May tao kayang nagdala sa kaniya ng pagkain?
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 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Ang pagkain ko ay ang aking gawin ang kalooban ng sa akin ay nagsugo, at tapusin ang kaniyang gawa.
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 Hindi baga sinasabi ninyo, May apat na buwan pa, at saka darating ang pagaani? narito, sa inyo'y aking sinasabi, Itanaw ninyo ang inyong mga mata, at inyong tingnan ang mga bukid, na mapuputi na upang anihin.
[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 Ang umaani ay tumatanggap ng upa, at nagtitipon ng bunga sa buhay na walang hanggan; upang ang naghahasik at ang umaani ay mangagalak kapuwa. (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 Sapagka't dito'y totoo ang kasabihan, Isa ang naghahasik, at iba ang umaani.
As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
38 Kayo'y sinugo ko upang anihin ang hindi ninyo pinagpagalan: iba ang nangagpagal, at kayo'y siyang nagsipasok sa kanilang pinagpagalan.
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 At marami sa mga Samaritano sa bayang yaon ang sa kaniya'y nagsisampalataya dahil sa salita ng babae, na nagpatotoo, Sinabi niya sa akin ang lahat ng mga bagay na aking ginawa.
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 Kaya nang sa kaniya'y magsidating ang mga Samaritano, ay sa kaniya'y ipinamanhik nila na matira sa kanila: at siya'y natira roong dalawang araw.
So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
41 At lalo pang marami ang mga nagsisampalataya sa kaniya dahil sa kaniyang salita;
Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
42 At sinabi nila sa babae, Ngayo'y nagsisisampalataya kami, hindi dahil sa iyong pananalita: sapagka't kami rin ang nakarinig, at nalalaman naming ito nga ang Tagapagligtas ng sanglibutan.
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 At pagkaraan ng dalawang araw ay umalis siya doon at napasa Galilea.
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 Sapagka't si Jesus din ang nagpatotoo, na ang isang propeta ay walang kapurihan sa kaniyang sariling lupain.
45 Kaya nang siya'y dumating sa Galilea, ay tinanggap siya ng mga Galileo, nang kanilang mangakita ang lahat ng mga bagay na kaniyang ginawa sa Jerusalem sa kapistahan: sapagka't sila man ay nagsiparoon din sa kapistahan.
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 Naparoon ngang muli siya sa Cana ng Galilea, na doo'y kaniyang pinapaging alak ang tubig. At naroroon ang isang mahal na tao, na ang kaniyang anak na lalake ay may-sakit sa Capernaum.
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 Nang mabalitaan niya na si Jesus ay dumating sa Galilea na mula sa Judea, ay naparoon siya sa kaniya, at ipinamanhik sa kaniya na siya'y lumusong, at pagalingin ang kaniyang anak na lalake; sapagka't siya'y naghihingalo.
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 Sinabi nga sa kaniya ni Jesus, Malibang kayo'y mangakakita ng mga tanda at mga kababalaghan, ay hindi kayo magsisipaniwala sa anomang paraan.
Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
49 Ang mahal na tao ay nagsabi sa kaniya, Ginoo, lumusong ka bago mamatay ang aking anak.
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 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Yumaon ka ng iyong lakad; buhay ang anak mo. Pinaniwalaan ng lalake ang salitang sinalita sa kaniya ni Jesus, at siya'y yumaon sa kaniyang lakad.
Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
51 At samantalang siya'y lumulusong, ay sinalubong siya ng kaniyang mga alipin, na nangagsasabi, na ang kaniyang anak ay buhay.
[The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
52 Itinanong nga niya sa kanila ang oras nang siya'y pasimulan ng paggaling. Sa kaniya nga'y kanilang sinabi, Kahapon nang ikapitong oras inibsan siya ng lagnat.
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 Naunawa nga ng ama na sa oras na yaon nang sabihin sa kaniya ni Jesus, Buhay ang anak mo: at siya'y sumampalataya, at ang kaniyang buong sangbahayan.
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 Ito nga ang muling pangalawang tanda na ginawa ni Jesus, nang siya'y pumaroon sa Galilea na mula sa Judea.
That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
