Yohane 4
1 Yesu huu se Farisifo no ate sɛ nnipa pii reba ne nkyɛn ama wabɔ wɔn asu sen sɛnea nnipa kɔ Yohane nkyɛn,
Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees [Separated] had heard that Yeshua [Salvation] was making and baptizing more disciples than John [Yah is gracious]
2 a na ɛnyɛ Yesu ankasa na ɔbɔ asu no, na mmom nʼasuafo no na wɔbɔ asu.
(although Yeshua [Salvation] himself didn’t mikvah ·baptise·, but his disciples),
3 Enti ofii Yudea san kɔɔ Galilea.
he left Judea [Praise], and departed into Galilee [District, Circuit].
4 Ɔrekɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa Samaria.
He needed to pass through Samaria [Watch-mountain].
5 Ɛbɛyɛ sɛ owigyinae no, na Yesu abɛn Samaria kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Sikar a ɛbɛn asase bi a Yakob de maa ne ba Yosef no ho.
So he came to a city of Samaria [Watch-mountain], called Sychar [Shoulder], near the parcel of ground that Jacob [Supplanter] gave to his son, Joseph [May he add].
6 Ɛhɔ na na Yakob abura wɔ. Esiane ɔbrɛ a na Yesu abrɛ nti, ɔtenaa abura no ho sɛ ɔregye nʼahome. Na saa bere no bɛyɛ awia nnɔndumien.
Jacob [Supplanter]’s well was there. Yeshua [Salvation] therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 Ankyɛ na Samarianibea bi baa hɔ bɛtow nsu maa Yesu srɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma me nsu no bi nnom.”
A woman of Samaria [Watch-mountain] came to draw water. Yeshua [Salvation] said to her, “Give me a drink.”
8 Saa bere no na Yesu asuafo no kɔ kurow no mu akɔtɔ aduan.
For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Samarianibea no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Ɛyɛ me nwonwa sɛ wo a woyɛ Yudani rebisa nsu afi me a meyɛ Samariani nkyɛn.” Na Yudafo ne Samariafo nni hwee yɛ.
The Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain] woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew [Praiser], ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain] woman?” (For Jews [Praisers] have no dealings with Samaritans [people from Watch-mountain].)
10 Yesu buaa no se, “Sɛ wunim akyɛde a Onyankopɔn de ma onipa anaa onipa ko a ɔresrɛ wo nsu yi a anka wobɛsrɛ no na wama wo nkwa nsu.”
Yeshua [Salvation] answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 Ɔbea no bisae se, “Owura, wunni hama, nni bokiti; abura yi mu nso dɔ yiye, na ɛhe na wubenya saa nkwa nsu no afi?
The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
12 Woyɛ ɔkɛse sen yɛn agya Yakob a otuu abura yi maa yɛn na ɔne ne mma, ne nguan ne nʼanantwi nom mu nsu bi no ana?”
Are you greater than Avinu ·our Father·, Jacob [Supplanter], who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?”
13 Yesu buaa no se, “Obiara a ɔnom saa nsu yi bi no, osukɔm de no bio,
Yeshua [Salvation] answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
15 Ɔbea no srɛɛ no se, “Owura, ma me saa nkwa nsu yi bi na osukɔm anne me bio, na daa mantwa kwan ammɛtow nsu.”
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
16 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔfrɛ wo kunu na wo ne no mmra.”
Yeshua [Salvation] said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 Ɔbea no buaa no se, “Me wura, minni kunu.” Yesu nso kae se, “Asɛm a woaka no yɛ nokware, sɛ wunni kunu no.
The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Yeshua [Salvation] said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
18 Woaware mmarima baanum agyae na ɔbarima a wo ne no wɔ hɔ mprempren no nyɛ wo kunu mpo.”
for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
19 Ɔbea no kae se, “Owura, mihu sɛ woyɛ odiyifo.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Yɛn agyanom Samariafo som Onyankopɔn wɔ saa bepɔw yi so, nanso mo Yudafo de, moka se Yerusalem nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsom Nyankopɔn.”
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews [Praisers] say that in Jerusalem [City of peace] is the place where people ought to worship.”
21 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Merema woate ase sɛ bere bi bɛba a nnipa rensom Agya no wɔ saa bepɔw yi so anaa Yerusalem.”
Yeshua [Salvation] said to her, “Woman, trust me, the time will come, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem [City of peace], will you worship Abba Father.
22 Mo Samariafo nnim nea mosom no. Nanso yɛn Yudafo de, yenim nea yɛsom no, efisɛ Yudafo so na nkwagye nam ba.
You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for yishu'ah ·salvation· is from the Jews [Praisers].
23 Nna bi reba, na mpo aba dedaw, sɛ nokware asomfo bɛsɔre Agya no wɔ Honhom ne nokware mu. Eyinom ne asomfo a Agya no hwehwɛ.
But the time will come, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship Abba Father in spirit and truth, for Abba Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
24 Onyankopɔn yɛ Honhom, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔsom no no som no wɔ Honhom ne nokware mu.
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 Ɔbea no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Minim sɛ Agyenkwa no a wɔfrɛ no Kristo no bɛba, na sɛ ɔba a ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn biribiara mu.”
The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah [Anointed one] comes, he who is called Messiah [Anointed one]. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
26 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me a me ne wo rekasa yi, mene Kristo no.”
Yeshua [Salvation] said to her, “Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], I who is speaking to you.”
27 Yesu ano sii pɛ na nʼasuafo no san bae. Ɛyɛɛ asuafo no nwonwa sɛ wɔbɛtoo Yesu sɛ ɔne ɔbea bi redi nkɔmmɔ. Nanso wɔn mu biara ammisa ɔbea no nea ɔrehwehwɛ ne Yesu nso, nea enti a ɔne saa ɔbea no redi nkɔmmɔ no.
At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
28 Afei ɔbea yi gyaw nʼasuhina no hɔ san kɔɔ kurow no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfo se,
So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
29 “Mommra mmɛhwɛ ɔbarima bi a waka kokoa mu nneɛma a mayɛ akyerɛ me! Anaa ɔno ne Agyenkwa no?”
“Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Messiah [Anointed one]?”
30 Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm yi nyinaa bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ Yesu.
They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 Afei asuafo no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, didi.”
In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, eat.”
32 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mewɔ aduan a midi a munnim ho hwee.”
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 Ɛmaa asuafo no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Obi abrɛ no aduan bi ana?”
The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
34 Yesu buae se, “Mʼaduan ne sɛ meyɛ nea ɔsomaa me no apɛde, na miwie dwuma a ɔde maa me sɛ mimmedi no.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
35 Moka se, ‘Asram anan mu, otwabere bedu.’ Mummue mo ani nhwɛ mo ho nhyia, na muhu sɛ aburow awo a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, otwabere adu!
Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
36 Otwafo nya nʼakatua a ɛsɛ no, na ɔboaboa nea watwa no ano ma nkwa a ɛnsa da. Eyi ma nea odua ne nea otwa no nyinaa ani gye. (aiōnios g166)
He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Ɛyɛ nokware pefee sɛ, ‘Obi dua na obi twa.’
For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
38 Mesomaa mo kɔɔ baabi sɛ munkotwa nea monyɛe ho adwuma ɛ. Nnipa afoforo na wɔayɛ adwumaden, na mo de, moanya mfaso afi adwuma a wɔayɛ no mu.”
I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Esiane adanse a Samarianibea no di faa Yesu ho se, “Waka biribiara a mayɛ akyerɛ me” no nti, kurow no mu hɔfo pii gyee Yesu dii sɛ ɔno ne Mesaia no.
From that city many of the Samaritans [people from Watch-mountain] trusted in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I did.”
40 Enti bere a Samariafo no baa Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena wɔn nkyɛn. Ɔpenee so dii nnaanu wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
So when the Samaritans [people from Watch-mountain] came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
41 Ne nsɛm no nti nnipa bebree gyee no dii.
Many more trusted because of his word.
42 Nnipa a wogyee no dii no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Ɛnyɛ adanse a wubedii no nti na yegye no di, na mmom nsɛm a yɛate sɛ ɔka no nti na yɛagye no adi. Na yenim sɛ ɔno ne wiase Agyenkwa no.”
They said to the woman, “Now we trust, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Messiah [Anointed one], the Savior of the world.”
43 Nnaanu akyi no, Yesu fii kurow no mu kɔɔ Galilea.
After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee [District, Circuit].
44 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Yesu aka se, “Odiyifo biara nni anuonyam wɔ ne man mu” de, nanso
For Yeshua [Salvation] himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 esiane nea Galileafo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem wɔ Twam Afahyɛ bere no mu no huu nea Yesu yɛe no nti, oduu Galilea no wogyee no.
So when he came into Galilee [District, Circuit], the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem [City of peace] at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
46 Ɔsan kɔɔ Kana a ɛwɔ Galilea, faako a ɔmaa nsu dan nsa hɔ no bio. Yesu wɔ hɔ no ɔhene somfo panyin bi a na ne ba yare wɔ Kapernaum no
Yeshua [Salvation] came therefore again to Cana of Galilee [District, Circuit], where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion].
47 tee ne nka sɛ ofi Yudea aba Galilea hɔ. Saa ɔbarima yi kɔɔ Kana kohuu Yesu, srɛɛ no se ɔne no nkɔ Kapernaum nkɔsa ne ba a na ɔyare a ɔreyɛ awu no yare mma no.
When he heard that Yeshua [Salvation] had come out of Judea [Praise] into Galilee [District, Circuit], he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
48 Yesu kae se, “Menyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne nkyerɛ mo ansa na moagye me adi ana?”
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way trust.”
49 Ɔsomfo panyin no de ahoyeraw ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, ma yɛnkɔ ntɛm, anyɛ saa a me ba no bewu.”
The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ fie na wo ba no ho ayɛ no den!” Ɔsomfo panyin no gyee asɛm a Yesu kae no dii na osii mu sɛ ɔrekɔ fie.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man trusted the word that Yeshua [Salvation] spoke to him, and he went his way.
51 Ɔnam kwan so no, nʼasomfo bi behyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no se ne ba no ho atɔ no.
As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
52 Ɔbarima no bisaa nʼasomfo no se, “Bere bɛn na ne ho tɔɔ no?” Asomfo no buaa no se, “Nnɛra awia bɛyɛ dɔnkoro bere mu na atiridiinini a na abɔ no no gyaee.”
So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon, the fever left him.”
53 Ɔbarima no tee asɛm no pɛ na ɔkaa se ɛyɛ saa bere koro no ara mu na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ fie na wo ba no ho atɔ no” no. Eyi maa ɔbarima no ne ne fifo nyinaa gyee Yesu dii.
So the Abba Father knew that it was at that hour in which Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Your son lives.” He trusted, as did his whole house.
54 Eyi ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛto so abien a Yesu fii Yudea baa Galilea no ɔyɛe.
This is again the second sign that Yeshua [Salvation] did, having come out of Judea [Praise] into Galilee [District, Circuit].
