< Sione 4 >
1 Pea ko ia, ʻi he ʻilo ʻe he ʻEiki kuo fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻoku ului pea papitaiso ʻe Sisu ʻae kau ākonga tokolahi ʻia Sione,
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 (Ka naʻe ʻikai fai papitaiso ʻe Sisu, ka ko ʻene kau ākonga, )
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Naʻe mahuʻi ia mei Siutea, pea toe ʻalu ki Kāleli.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Pea naʻe totonu ke ʻalu atu ʻi Samēlia.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Pea hoko ia ki ha kolo ʻo Samēlia, naʻe ui ko Saika, ʻo ofi ki he potu fonua naʻe foaki ʻe Sēkope ki hono foha ko Siosefa.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae vai keli ʻo Sēkope. Pea kuo hela ʻa Sisu ʻi he fononga, pea nofo ia ʻi he [ngutu ]vai: pea ko hono ono nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
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 Mo ʻene ʻalu ange ha fefine Samēlia ke ʻutu vai: pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Foaki mai kiate au ke u inu.”
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 (He kuo ʻalu ʻene kau ākonga ki he kolo ke fakatau meʻakai.)
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Pea pehēange ʻe he fefine Samēlia kiate ia, “Ko e Siu koe, pea ʻoku fēfeeʻi hoʻo tala inu kiate au, ko e fefine Samēlia?” He ʻoku ʻikai feʻofoʻofani ʻae kakai Siu mo e kakai Samēlia.
"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 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ka ne ke ʻilo ʻe koe ʻae foaki ʻae ʻOtua, pea mo ia ʻoku pehē kiate koe, Foaki mai kiate au ke u inu; pehē, kuo ke kole kiate ia, ka ne foaki kiate koe ʻae vai moʻui.”
"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 Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai haʻo meʻa ke ʻutu ʻaki, pea ʻoku māʻulalo ʻae vai: pea ʻoku ke maʻu mei fē ʻae vai moʻui ko ia?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 ʻOku ke lahi koe ʻi heʻemau tamai ko Sēkope, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻae vai kiate kimautolu, pea naʻe inu ai ia, mo ʻene fānau, mo ʻene fanga manu?”
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 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko ia ʻoku inu ʻi he vai ni, ʻe toe fieinu ia:
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
14 Ka ko ia ʻe inu ʻi he vai te u foaki kiate ia, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito [toe ]fieinu ia; ka ko e vai te u foaki kiate ia ʻe ʻiate ia ko e matavai mapunopuna hake ki he moʻui taʻengata.” (aiōn , aiōnios )
but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages." (aiōn , aiōnios )
15 Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻEiki, foaki mai ʻae vai ni kiate au, ke ʻoua naʻaku fieinu pe haʻu ki heni ke ʻutu.”
"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 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo ui ho husepāniti, pea haʻu ki heni.”
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Pea leaange ʻae fefine, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai haku husepāniti.” Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku moʻoni hoʻo lea, ʻOku ʻikai haku husepāniti:
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 He naʻa ke maʻu ʻae husepāniti ʻe toko nima; pea ko ia ʻoku ke maʻu ni, ʻoku ʻikai ko ho husepāniti: he meʻa ko ia kuo ke lea moʻoni.”
"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 Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo u ʻilo ni ko e palōfita ʻa koe.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Naʻe hū ʻemau ngaahi tamai ʻi he moʻunga ko eni; ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu, ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema ʻae potu ʻoku totonu ke fai ai ʻe he kakai ʻae hū.”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Fefine, tui mai kiate au, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, ʻe ʻikai te mou hū ai ki he Tamai ʻi he moʻunga ni, pē ʻi Selūsalema.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mou hū ki ai: ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mau hū ki ai: he ʻoku mei he kakai Siu ʻae fakamoʻui.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Ka ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, pea kuo hoko ni, ʻe hū ai ki he Tamai ʻae kakai hū moʻoni ʻi he laumalie mo e mo'oni: he 'oku kumi 'e he Tamai ʻae kakai pehē ke hū kiate ia.
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 Ko e ʻOtua ko e Laumālie: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku hū kiate ia, ʻoku totonu ke hū ʻi he laumālie mo e moʻoni.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku haʻu ʻae Misaia (ʻoku ui ko Kalaisi): pea ka haʻu ia, te ne fakahā ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimautolu.”
"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 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko au ia ʻoku ou lea kiate koe.”
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Pea feʻunga mo ia, kuo haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau ofo ʻi heʻene talanoa mo e fefine: ka naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe ha taha, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kumi?” pē, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke talanoa ai mo ia?”
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 “Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he fefine ʻene hina vai, pea ʻalu ki he kolo, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Haʻu, ʻo mamata ki he tangata, kuo ne tala kiate au ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fai: ko e Kalaisi eni pe ʻikai?”
"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 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ai mei he kolo, ʻo haʻu kiate ia.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Pea lolotonga ia, naʻe fakakolekole ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Lāpai, ke ke kai.”
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ai ʻeku meʻa ke kai ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻiloa.”
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Ko ia naʻe fepehēʻaki ai ʻae kau ākonga, “Kuo ʻomi ʻe ha tangata haʻane meʻa ke kai?”
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku meʻakai ko e fai ʻae loto ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau au, pea fakaʻosi ʻene ngāue.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 ʻIkai ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Ko e māhina ʻe fā, pea hoko ʻae ututaʻu?’ Vakai, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Hanga hake homou mata, ʻo vakai ki he ngaahi ngoue; he ʻoku hina ia ki he ututaʻu.
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 Pea ko ia ʻoku tuʻusi ʻoku maʻu ʻae totongi ʻo ne tānaki ʻae fua ki he moʻui taʻengata: koeʻuhi ke fiefia fakataha ʻaia ʻoku tūtuuʻi mo ia ʻoku tuʻusi. (aiōnios )
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 )
37 Pea ʻi he meʻa ni ʻoku moʻoni ai ʻae tala ko ia, ‘ʻOku tūtuuʻi ʻe he tokotaha, kae tuʻusi ʻe ha taha kehe.’
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 Naʻaku fekau ʻakimoutolu ke tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ngāue ki ai: naʻe ngāue ʻae kau tangata kehe, pea ʻoku mou maʻu ʻenau ngāue.”
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 Pea naʻe tui kiate ia ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kakai Samēlia, ʻi he kolo ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he lea ʻae fefine, ʻi heʻene pehē, “Naʻa ne tala kiate au ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fai.”
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 Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻae kakai Samēlia kiate ia, naʻa nau fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne nofo mo kinautolu: pea naʻe nofo ai ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ua.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Pea tui ʻae tokolahi kehe ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lea ʻaʻana;
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 ʻO nau pehē ki he fefine, “Ko eni ʻoku mau tui, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoʻo lea: he kuo mau fanongo ʻekimautolu, pea mau ʻilo ko e Kalaisi moʻoni eni, ko e Fakamoʻui ʻo māmani.”
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 Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ua, naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai, ʻo fononga ki Kāleli.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 “Ka naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe Sisu, ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa ʻi hono fonua.”
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki Kāleli, naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he kakai Kāleli, he naʻa nau mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he kātoanga: he naʻa nau ʻalu foki ki he kātoanga.
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 Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Kena ʻo Kāleli, naʻa ne liliu ai ʻae vai ko e uaine. Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻeiki naʻe mahaki hono foha ʻi Kapaneume.
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 Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo kuo haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Siutea ki Kāleli, ne ne ʻalu ki ai, ʻo ne fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne ʻalu hifo, ʻo fakamoʻui hono foha: he kuo ofi ʻene mate.
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 Pea tala ʻe Sisu, kiate ia, “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou mamata ki he ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e meʻa fakaofo, ʻe ʻikai te mou tui.”
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Pea talaange ʻe he tangataʻeiki kiate ia, ʻEiki, keta ō hifo, naʻa mate hoku foha.
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe ʻoku moʻui ho foha.” Pea tui ʻae tangata ki he lea kuo lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu kiate ia, pea ʻalu ia.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Pea ʻi heʻene kei ʻalu, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻonau tala [kiate ]ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku moʻui ho foha.”
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Pea fehuʻi ai ia kiate kinautolu ki he feituʻulaʻā naʻe kamata moʻui ai ia. Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻAneafi ʻi hono fitu ʻoe feituʻulaʻā naʻe mahuʻi ʻae mofi ʻiate ia.”
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe he tamai ko e feituʻulaʻā pe ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate ia, ʻOku moʻui ho foha: pea naʻe tui ai ia, pea mo hono fale kotoa pē.
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 Ko hono ua eni ʻoe mana naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, ʻi heʻene haʻu mei Siutea ki Kāleli.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
