Juan 4
1 Ngayon, nang malaman ni Jesus na narinig na ng mga Pariseo na siya ay humihirang at nagbabautismo ng mas maraming alagad kaysa 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 (bagama't hindi si Jesus mismo ang nagbabautismo kundi ang kaniyang mga alagad),
3 iniwan niya ang Judea at lumisan papuntang 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 Ngayo'y kinakailangan niyang dumaan ng Samaria.
[He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
5 Kaya dumating siya sa isang bayan ng Samarya na tinawag na Sicar, malapit sa isang lagay ng lupa na ibinigay ni Jacob sa kaniyang anak na si Jose.
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 Naroon ang balon ni Jacob. Napagod si Jesus sa kaniyang paglalakbay, at siya ay umupo sa may balon. Ito ay magtatanghaling tapat.
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 Isang Samaritana ang dumating upang mag-igib ng tubig, at sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Bigyan mo ako ng konting tubig na maiinom.”
8 Dahil ang kaniyang mga alagad ay umalis papuntang bayan upang bumili ng pagkain.
9 Pagkatapos ay sinabi ng Samaritana sa kaniya, “Paanong ikaw, na isang Judio, ay humihingi sa akin, na isang Samaritana, ng maiinom?” Dahil ang mga Judio ay hindi nakikitungo 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 Sinagot siya ni Jesus, “Kung batid mo ang kaloob ng Diyos, at kung sino itong nagsasabi sa iyong, 'Bigyan mo ako ng inumin,' ikaw sana ang hihingi sa kaniya, at ibibigay niya sa iyo ang 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 Sumagot ang babae, “Ginoo, wala kang panalok, at malalim ang balon. Saan kayo kukuha ng 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 Hindi ka higit na dakila kaysa aming amang si Jacob, di ba, na nagbigay sa amin ng balon, at uminom siya mula dito, gayun din ang kaniyang mga anak at kaniyang mga baka?”
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, “Ang bawat iinom ng kaunting tubig na ito ay muling mauuhaw,
Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
15 Ang sabi ng babae sa kaniya, “Ginoo, bigyan mo ako ng tubig na ito para hindi na ako mauuhaw at hindi na pumunta dito para umigib ng tubig.”
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 Ang sabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Umuwi ka, tawagin mo ang iyong asawa, at bumalik ka dito.”
[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, sinasabi sa kanya, “Wala akong asawa.” Sumagot si 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 dahil nagkaroon ka na ng limang asawa at ang kinakasama mo ngayon ay hindi mo asawa. Sa gayon mabuti ang pagkasabi mo.”
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 Ang sabi ng babae sa kaniya, “Ginoo, nakikita 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 Dito sa bundok na ito sumamba ang aming mga ninuno, ngunit iyong sinasabi na itong Jerusalem ay ang lugar kung saan ang mga tao ay dapat sumamba.”
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 Sumagot si Jesus sa kaniya, “Babae, maniwala ka sa akin, darating ang oras na sasambahin ninyo ang Ama ni sa bundok na ito o sa Jerusalem.
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. Alam namin ang aming sinasamba, sapagkat ang kaligtasan ay nagmula 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 Subalit darating ang oras, at narito na nga, na ang mga tunay na sumasamba ay sasambahin ang Ama sa espiritu at katotohanan, dahil ang Ama ay naghahanap ng mga ganoong tao na sasamba 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 Diyos ay isang Espiritu, at ang mga taong sasamba sa kaniya ay dapat sumamba sa espiritu at 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 At sinabi ng babae sa kaniya, “Alam ko na ang Mesias ay darating (ang tinatawag na Cristo). Kapag dumating siya, ihahayag niya ang lahat ng bagay sa amin.”
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 ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Ako, na nagsasalita sa iyo, ay siya nga.”
Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
27 At sa sandaling iyon bumalik ang kaniyang mga alagad. Ngayon sila ay nagtataka bakit siya nakikipag-usap sa isang babae. Ngunit walang isa man ang nagsabi, “Ano ang iyong gusto?” o “Bakit ka nakikipag-usap sa kanya?”
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 Kaya iniwan ng babae ang kaniyang sisidlan ng tubig. Bumalik sa 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 “Halikayo tingnan niyo ang lalaking nagsabi sa akin ng lahat ng aking ginawa. Hindi maaaring maging siya ang Cristo, maaari kaya? “
“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 Nagsilabasan sila sa bayan, at nagpunta sa kaniya.
So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
31 Samantala hinihimuk siya ng mga alagad, sinasabi, “Rabi, kumain ka.”
Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
32 Ngunit sinabi niya sa kanila, “Mayroon akong pagkaing kakanin na hindi niyo nalalaman.”
But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
33 Kaya sinabi ng mga alagad sa isa't-isa, “Wala namang nagdala sa kaniya ng anumang kakainin, mayroon ba?”
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 ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang aking pagkain ay ang gawin ang kalooban ng siyang nagpadala sa akin, at para 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 ba sinasabi ninyo, 'Mayroon pang apat na buwan at pagkatapos darating ang anihan'? Sinasabi ko sa inyo, tingnan ninyo at pagmasdan ang mga kabukiran, dahil ang mga iyon ay hinog 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 nag-aani ay tatanggap ng bayad at nagtitipon ng bunga para sa buhay na walang hanggan, upang ang nagtatanim at ang umaanii ay maaaring magkasamang magdiwang. (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 Dahil dito totoo ang kasabihan 'Isa ang nagtatanim, at iba ang nag-aani.'
As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
38 isinugo ko kayo upang anihin iyong hindi kayo ang nagpagal. Iba ang nagpagal at kayo mismo ay napabilang sa kanilang pagpapagal.”
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 Marami sa mga Samaritano sa lunsod na yun ang nananampalataya sa kaniya dahil sa ulat ng babae na nagpapatotoo, “Sinabi niya sa akin ang lahat ng aking nagawa.”
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 Nang dumating ang mga Samaritano sa kaniya, nagsumamo sa kaniya na manatili sa kanila, at siya ay nanatili doon ng 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 marami pa ang nananampalataya dahil sa kaniyang salita.
Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
42 Sinasabi nila sa babae, “Kami ay naniwala, hindi lamang dahil sa iyong mga salita, sapagkat napakinggan namin siya sa aming sarili, at alam namin na tunay ngang siya ang tagapagligtas ng mundo.”
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 Pagkalipas ng dalawang araw na iyon, lumisan siya mula roon patungong 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 Dahil si Jesus mismo ang nagpahayag na ang isang propeta ay walang karangalan sa kaniyang sariling bansa.
45 Nang dumating siya sa Galilea, malugod na tinanggap siya ng mga taga Galilea. Nakita nila ang lahat ng mga bagay na kaniyang ginawa sa Jerusalem at sa kapistahan, dahil sila din ay nagpunta 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 Ngayon dumating muli siya sa Cana na nasa Galilea, sa lugar na ginawa niyang alak ang tubig. Mayroong isang maharlikang pinuno na ang anak na lalaking nasa Capernaum ay may sakit.
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 marinig niya na si Jesus ay dumating sa Galilea mula Judea, pumunta siya kay Jesus at nagsumamo siya upang lumusong at pagalingin ang kaniyang anak, na nasa bingit ng kamatayan.
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 At sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Maliban na inyong makita ang mga tanda at mga kahanga-hangang mga gawa, hindi kayo maniniwala.”
Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
49 Sinabi ng pinuno sa kaniya, “Ginoo, halina't sumama ka na 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 ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Humayo ka, mabubuhay ang iyong anak.” Ang lalaki ay naniwala sa salita na sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, at tumuloy sa kaniyang landas.
Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
51 Habang siya ay bumababa, sinalubong siya ng kaniyang mga lingkod, nagsasabing buhay ang kaniyang anak.
[The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
52 Kaya nagtanong siya sa kanila kung anong oras siya nagsimulang gumaling. Sumagot sila sa kaniya, “Kahapon ng ala una ay nawala ang kaniyang 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 At napagtanto ng ama na iyon din ang oras nang binanggit ni Jesus sa kaniya, “Mabubuhay ang iyong anak.” Kaya siya mismo at ang kaniyang buong sambahayan ay nanampalataya.
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 ang pangalawang tanda na ginawa ni Jesus mula nang umalis siya sa Judea patungong Galilea.
That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
