Jon 4
1 Parisi vdwv Jisu Jonnyi kaiyabv nyi naalwkla okv baptist jidu vla tvvpato.
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 Minje jvbolo Jisu atuv yvvnyika baptisma jimato; ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv mvngchik jito.
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Vkvlvgabv vdwlo Jisu ogugo minpvdw tvvtoku, hv Judia nga vngyula okv Galili bv vngkur toku;
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 ninyigv vngku lamtv ngv Samaria bv vngpitla vngdubv rito.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Samaria lo Sikar vnam banggu lo hv aalwk toku, ho Jakop gv ninyigv kuu Josepnyi jinam rongo lokv adu mato.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Jakop gv isikua ngv hoka dooto, okv Jisu, moing vngkunamv anyu kuma toku, isi kua hoka dootungla doonu toku. Vbvrire hoka alu lopo bv rito.
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 Samaritan nyimv gonv isi mego tokdubv hoka aato, okv Jisu ninyia minto, “Nga isi tvngse go jilabv,”
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv dvnam rvvbv banggu lo vngyu roto.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Nyimv angv mirwksito, “No Jiu go, okv ngo Samaritan nyimv go—vkvlvgabv no oguaingbv nga tvngnamgu koodunv?” (Samaritan vdwgv dvnv tvngnvnv koobu okv bati vdwa Jius vdwv dvnv tvngnv madunv.)
"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 Jisu mirwksito, “No Pwknvyarnv gv jinam a okv nam isi tvngse go koodudw ninyia chinv guilo, no ninyia koya dvnvpv, okv hv nam turgvnv isi a jiri nvpv.”
"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 Nyimv angv minto, “Tamsarnv, no isi toknvnv bvngma, okv isi kua ngv arwng chekwng do. Ogolo no turnvnv isi a paala dubv?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Si ngonugv abuapa Jakob gv ngonua isi kua jinammv; ninyi okv ninyigv kuunyilo, okv ninyigv sonam svnwngsvmin mvnwngngv soka tvngnya pvnv. No atuv Jakobnyi kaiyanv gubv minsu dunvre?”
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 Jisu mirwksito, “Yvvdw so gv isi a tvngdunv hv tvngnwng nwngkor reku,
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Nyimv angv ninyia minto, “Tamsarnv, ho isia ngam jilabvkv! vbvrikubolo ngo vdwloka tvngnwng mvngkor kuma dukubv, okv soka isi tokbv aakwng kuma dukubv.”
"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 Jisu ninyia minto, “No vngyila no gv nyilua gokte kuka, okv aakur lakuka.”
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Hv mirwkto, “Ngo nyilu guka kaama.” Jisu mirwk sutoku, “Noogv ngo nyilu kaama vla minam v no jvjvbv mirungdo.
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 No nyi angu go nyilubv mvtoku, okv noogv vjak lvkobv doogvnam nyi angvka noogv nyilu jvjvma. No nga jvjvbv minpa gvibv.”
"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 Nyimv angv minto, “Tamsarnv, ngo kaanam v no nyijwk go,”
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 “Ngoogv Samaritan abuapa vdwv Pwknvyarnvnyi so moodw so kumtojotoku, vbvritola nonu Jius vdwv Jerusalem v ngonugv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumjijojiku mooku v vla mindo.”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Jisu ninyia minto, “Nyimv, nga mvngjwng tvka, vkvnv aluv aariku nyi vdwv Abunyi so moodw sokaka kumnyajonya kumare vmalo Jerusalem loka kumnyajonya kumare.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Nonu Samaritan vdwv jvjv rungbv chima nonu yvvnyi kumdujodu nvdw; vbvritola ngonu Jius vdwv chindu ngonu yvvnyi kumdujodu nvdw, ogulvgavbolo so si Jius lokv ringlinbaalin v aadu.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Vbvritola aluv aariku okv vjak si doopv, Pwknvyarnv gv Dow gv jwkrw lokv nyi vdwv Abunyi jvjvbv kumlajola, ninyigv mvnglwk kaalwkbv kumrejoreku.
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 Pwknvyarnv Dowbv ridunv, okv yvv ninyia kumdujodunv hv jvjv rungbv okv dow bv kumlajola rirung sego.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Nyimv angv ninyia minto, “Ngo chindu Kristo aariku, okv vdwlo hv aarikudw, hv ogumvnwng nga ngonua minbwk jireku.”
"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 Jisu mirwk sutoku, “Hv dv ngo mabv, nam lvkobv raamisidunv.”
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Vbvrire hoka Jisu gv lvbwlaksu vdwv aakur toku, okv bunu ninyia nyimv gonyi raami sudubv kaala kairungbv lamrwpanya toku. Vbvritola bunugv lokv yvvka nyimv anga “No ogugo mvngdu?” Vla minv kaamato, vmalo Jisu nyika “No ogubv nyimv anga raami sudunv?” vla tvvka nvgoka kaamato.
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 Vbvrikunamv nyimv angv isi pvchwng nga kayupila, banggubv vngkur toku, okv hoka nyi vdwa mintoku,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Aato okv nyi anga kaakwto ngoogv ogugo rikunam mvnwngnga minpa nvgo. Kristo vnammv v bri?”
"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 Vkvlvgabv bunu banggu a kayupila okv Jisu gvlo vngtoku.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Vbvridung rilo lvbwlaksu vdwv Jisunyi dinchi rungbv minto, “Tamsarnv, dvnam go dvlakv!”
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Vbvritola hv mirwkto, “Ngoogvlo nonugv chimanam dvnam v doodu.”
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Vkvlvgabv lvbwlaksu vdwv bunugv aralo tvka minsunyato “Nyi gunv ninyia dvnamgu bvnglwk jipv nvgu bri?”
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Jisu bunua minto, “Ngoogv dvnam hv Pwknvyarnv gv mvngkubv rinam angv nw ngam vngmunv okv ngo ninyigv rimidubv jinam ha rirungre.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Nonu mimbwng namgo doodu, ‘Poolu pwpi go doodvdu aam nvdwv’vla. Vbvritola ngo nonua mindunv, rongo nga alvbv kaatoka; rongo gv aam hv nginduku okv nvvdubv riduku!
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 Yvvnyiv aam nvvpvdw nvvjo nga paadu okv turbwng gvnv dubv nvvchingla vvpvdu, ho hv lvvlwk nvla nvvchingnv lvkobv himpu pubam dubv vla. (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 ‘Nyi akonv lvvriare nyi akonv nvvching riare’ vnam si jvjv rungdo.
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 Ngo nonugv rongo nyingma kolo nonua aam nvdubv vngmuto; kvvbi vdwv hoka nyingdu okv nonuno boksi paayadu.”
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 Achialvnv Samaritan nyi vdwv Jisu nyi mvngjwng toku ogulvgavbolo nyimv angv minto, “Ngoogv ogumvnwng riku nama hv ngam minpa toku.”
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 Vkvlvgabv vdwlo Samaritan vdwv hv golo aatokudw bunu ninyia dinchi rungbv minto bunua lvkobv dooming gvdubv, okv Jisu hoka alu lonyi go dootoku.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Achialv nyi go ninyia mvngjwng toku ninyigv doin a tvgvrila.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Okv bunu nyimv anga mintoku, “Ngonu vjak mvngjwng dukunv, noogv minam lokvma, ngonu atuv ninyi gvlo tvvnam lokv okv ngonu chinduku jvjvbv hv nyiamooku gv Ringnvbaanv gorung.”
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 Hoka alu lonyi go dooro kochingbv, Jisu vngraplaku okv Galili bv vngtoku.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Hv atubongv minsuto, “Nyijwk ka atubogv mooku lo mvngdv madunv.”
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Vdwlo hv Galili lo vngchi tokudw, nyi vdwv ninyia alvrungbv aamu toku, ogulvgavbolo bunu Jerusalem lo vngbo pumja hoka vngtoku okv ho pumja hoka bunu ninyigv rinam mvnwngnga kaatoku.
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 Vbvrikunamv Jisu Galili gv Kana nampum lo vngkur toku, ninyigv isi ha anggor ala bv mvku hoka. Sorkari nyigam go hoka dooto ninyigv kuunyilo ngv Kaparnaum lo lvvma toku.
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 Vdwlo hv Jisu Judia lokv Galili lo aapv vla tvvpa pvkudw, hv Jisu gvlo aala okv ninyia tvvkato Kaparnaum bv vngla ninyigv kuunyilo sida svngv bv rinv nga mvpu jilabv vla dinchi rungbv minto.
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 Jisu ninyia minto, “Nonu, yvvka mvngjwng mare vdwlo nonu kaasartabo okv lamrwpanam go kaama dvdvlo.”
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Nyigam angv mirwkto, “Tamsarnv, nga lvkobv vngming gvcholabv ngoogv kuunyilo ngv sitv madvlo.”
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Jisu ninyia minto, “Vngnyila, no gv kuunyilo ngv turriku!” Nyi angv Jisu gv minam a mvngjwngto okv vngtoku.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Ninyigv nampum lamtv hoka ninyigv pakbu vdwv ninyia kaarwksula yunying nga gvjito, “No gv kuunyilo ngv turduku!”
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Hv bunua tvvkato vdwlola ninyigv kuunyilo ngv alvyakunamv, okv bunu mirwkto, “Doonyi hv chaanyala tabv rilo tamiramhv ninyia liu toku.”
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Vbvrikunamv abu angv mvngpa toku, ho dw lo Jisu gv ninyia “No gv kuunyilo ngv turriku,” vla mindwbv ritoku. Vkvlvgabv hv la okv ninyigv nyimv kuu vdwv mvngjwng nyatoku.
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 Judia lokv Galili bv aaro kochingbv si Jisu lvnyi naabv lamrwpadubv rila kaatam namv.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
