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,
But when Jeshu knew that the Pharishee had heard that he had made many disciples, and baptized more than Juchanon,
2 a na ɛnyɛ Yesu ankasa na ɔbɔ asu no, na mmom nʼasuafo no na wɔbɔ asu.
(though it was not Jeshu himself baptized, but his disciples, )
3 Enti ofii Yudea san kɔɔ Galilea.
he left Jihuda, and came again into Galila.
4 Ɔrekɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa Samaria.
AND he needed that in going he should pass through among the Shomroyee;
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.
and he came to a city of the Shomroyee which is called Shokar, nigh to the field which Jakub gave unto Jauseph his son.
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.
And the fountain of water of Jakub was there. But Jeshu was wearied with the labour of the way, and sat by the fountain; and it was six hours.
7 Ankyɛ na Samarianibea bi baa hɔ bɛtow nsu maa Yesu srɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma me nsu no bi nnom.”
There came a woman from Shomreen to draw waters, and Jeshu said to her, Give me waters to drink.
8 Saa bere no na Yesu asuafo no kɔ kurow no mu akɔtɔ aduan.
Now his disciples had gone into the city to buy for them meat.
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 woman, the Shomroytha, saith to him, How (canst) thou who art a Jihudoya ask drink of me who am a woman, a Shomroytha? For the Jihudoyee have no accommodation with the Shomroyee.
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.”
Jeshu answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of Aloha, and who He is who hath said to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he had given thee living waters.
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?
That woman saith to him, My Lord, thou hast no vessel, and the well is deep; whence hast thou living waters?
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?”
Art thou greater than our father Jakub, he who gave us this well, and himself drank of it, and his children, and his flocks?
13 Yesu buaa no se, “Obiara a ɔnom saa nsu yi bi no, osukɔm de no bio,
Jeshu answered and said to her, Every one who shall drink of these waters again will thirst;
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.”
That woman saith to him, My Lord, give me of those waters, that I thirst not again, nor come to draw from hence.
16 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔfrɛ wo kunu na wo ne no mmra.”
Jeshu saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Ɔbea no buaa no se, “Me wura, minni kunu.” Yesu nso kae se, “Asɛm a woaka no yɛ nokware, sɛ wunni kunu no.
She saith to him, I have no husband. Jeshu saith to her, Well hast thou said, I have no husband;
18 Woaware mmarima baanum agyae na ɔbarima a wo ne no wɔ hɔ mprempren no nyɛ wo kunu mpo.”
for five husbands hast thou had, and this whom thou now hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.
19 Ɔbea no kae se, “Owura, mihu sɛ woyɛ odiyifo.
That woman saith to him, My Lord, I perceive that thou art 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 in this mountain worshipped, and you say that in Urishlem is the place where it behoves 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.”
Jeshu saith to her, Woman, believe me that the hour cometh when neither in this mountain, nor at Urishlem, you shall worship the 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 something you know not; but we worship whom we know; for salvation is from the Jihudoyee.
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 hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father also requireth worshippers such as these.
24 Onyankopɔn yɛ Honhom, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔsom no no som no wɔ Honhom ne nokware mu.
For Aloha is a Spirit; and they who worship him, in spirit and in truth must worship.
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.”
That woman saith to him, I know that the Meshicha cometh; and when he hath come, he will teach us all things.
26 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me a me ne wo rekasa yi, mene Kristo no.”
Jeshu saith to her, I am (he), I who speak with thee.
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.
And as he spoke, his disciples came, and they wondered that with the woman he spoke; but no man said, What inquirest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?
28 Afei ɔbea yi gyaw nʼasuhina no hɔ san kɔɔ kurow no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfo se,
The woman left her water-pot, and went into the city, and saith,
29 “Mommra mmɛhwɛ ɔbarima bi a waka kokoa mu nneɛma a mayɛ akyerɛ me! Anaa ɔno ne Agyenkwa no?”
Come, see a man who hath told me every thing that I have done: is not this the Meshicha?
30 Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm yi nyinaa bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ Yesu.
And the men went out of the city, and came with her.
31 Afei asuafo no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, didi.”
Between these things his disciples entreated of him, saying to him, Raban, eat.
32 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mewɔ aduan a midi a munnim ho hwee.”
But he said to them, I have food to eat of which you know not.
33 Ɛmaa asuafo no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Obi abrɛ no aduan bi ana?”
The disciples say among themselves, Has any man brought him somewhat 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.
Jeshu saith to them, My meat 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!
Say you not, that after four moons cometh harvest? Behold, I tell you, Lift up your eyes, and see the lands which have become white for the 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)
And he who reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; and the sower and the reaper shall rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Ɛyɛ nokware pefee sɛ, ‘Obi dua na obi twa.’
For in this is the proverb true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
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 did not toil; for others toiled, and you have entered upon their labour.
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.
Now of that city many Shomroyee believed in him, because of the saying of that woman, who testified, He told me every thing that I have done.
40 Enti bere a Samariafo no baa Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena wɔn nkyɛn. Ɔpenee so dii nnaanu wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
And when those Shomroyee came to him, they besought him to be with them. And he was with them two days,
41 Ne nsɛm no nti nnipa bebree gyee no dii.
and many believed through 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.”
And they said to the woman, Now not through thy word believe we in him; for we have heard and known that this is truly the Meshicha, the Saviour of the world.
43 Nnaanu akyi no, Yesu fii kurow no mu kɔɔ Galilea.
AND after two days Jeshu went forth from thence, and came into Galila;
44 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Yesu aka se, “Odiyifo biara nni anuonyam wɔ ne man mu” de, nanso
for he himself testified, that a prophet in his own city is not honoured.
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.
But when he came to Galila, the Galiloyee received him, because they had seen all the signs which he had done in Urishlem 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
So Jeshu came again into Kotna of Galila, where he had made the waters wine. And there was at Kapher-nachum the servant of a certain king, whose son was ill.
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.
This (man) heard that Jeshu had come from Jihuda into Galila; and he came to him, and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was near to die.
48 Yesu kae se, “Menyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne nkyerɛ mo ansa na moagye me adi ana?”
Jeshu saith to him, If signs and wonders you do not SEE, you will not believe.
49 Ɔsomfo panyin no de ahoyeraw ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, ma yɛnkɔ ntɛm, anyɛ saa a me ba no bewu.”
The servant of the king saith to him, My lord, come down ere my child die!
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.
Jeshu saith to him, Go, thy son liveth. And the man believed in the word which Jeshu had spoken to him, and went.
51 Ɔnam kwan so no, nʼasomfo bi behyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no se ne ba no ho atɔ no.
But as he was going down, his servants met him, and gave him good news, saying to him, Thy son liveth.
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.”
And he asked at what time he was healed. They say to him, Yesterday, at seven hours, 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.
And his father knew that in that hour it was in which Jeshu said to him, Thy son liveth; and he believed, and all his house.
54 Eyi ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛto so abien a Yesu fii Yudea baa Galilea no ɔyɛe.
This is again the second sign (which) Jeshu did when he had come from Jihuda into Galila.
