Yohane 4
1 Farisifoɔ no tee sɛ nnipa pii rekɔ Yesu nkyɛn ama wabɔ wɔn asu sene sɛdeɛ nnipa kɔ Yohane nkyɛn.
Thus when the Lord knew when the Pharisees heard that Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 Nso na Yesu ankasa deɛ, ɔmmɔ asu, na mmom, nʼasuafoɔ no na wɔbɔ asu.
(truly Jesus himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),
3 Yesu tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔfirii Yudea sane kɔɔ Galilea.
He left Judea and came again into Galilee.
4 Ɔrekɔ no, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa Samaria.
And it behooved Him to go through Samaria.
5 Ɛbɛyɛ owigyinaeɛ no, na Yesu abɛn Samaria kuro bi a wɔfrɛ no Sikar a ɛbɛn asase bi a Yakob de maa ne ba Yosef no ho.
Then He comes into a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Ɛhɔ na na Yakob abura wɔ. Esiane ɔbrɛ a na Yesu abrɛ enti, ɔtenaa abura no ho sɛ ɔregye nʼahome. Na saa ɛberɛ no bɛyɛ awia nnɔndumienu.
And the well of Jacob was there. Then Jesus having become weary from the journey, was sitting thus by the well: it was about the sixth hour.
7 Ankyɛre, Samariani baa bi baa hɔ bɛtoo nsuo, na Yesu srɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma me nsuo no bi nnom.”
A woman comes from Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
8 Saa ɛberɛ no, na Yesu asuafoɔ no kɔ kuro no mu kɔtɔ aduane.
For His disciples had gone into the city, that they might purchase food.
9 Samariani baa no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me nwanwa sɛ wo a woyɛ Yudani rebisa nsuo afiri me a meyɛ Samariani nkyɛn.” Na Yudafoɔ ne Samariafoɔ nni hwee yɛ.
A Samaritan woman says to Him, How do you, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?
10 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Sɛ wonim akyɛdeɛ a Onyankopɔn de ma onipa anaa onipa ko a ɔresrɛ wo nsuo yi a, anka wobɛsrɛ no, na wama wo nkwa nsuo.”
And Jesus responded and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and the one who is speaking to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.
11 Ɔbaa no bisaa sɛ, “Owura, wonni ahoma, nni bokiti, abura yi mu nso dɔ yie, na ɛhe na wobɛnya saa nkwa nsuo no afiri?
The woman says to Him, Sir, thou hast no windlass, and the well is deep: whence hast thou living water?
12 Woyɛ ɔkɛseɛ sene yɛn agya Yakob a ɔtuu abura yi maa yɛn na ɔne ne mma, ne nnwan ne nʼanantwie nom mu nsuo bi no anaa?”
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself and his sons, and his herds, drank of it?
13 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Obiara a ɔnom saa nsuo yi bi no, osukɔm de no bio,
Jesus responded and said to her, Every one drinking of this water shall thirst again:
15 Ɔbaa no srɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, ma me saa nkwa nsuo yi bi na osukɔm anne me bio, na daa mantwa kwan ammɛto nsuo.”
Then the woman says to Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔfrɛ wo kunu na wo ne no mmra.”
He says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Ɔbaa no buaa no sɛ, “Me wura, menni kunu.” Yesu nso kaa sɛ, “Asɛm a woaka no yɛ nokorɛ sɛ wonni kunu no.
The woman responded and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Well didst thou say, I have no husband:
18 Woaware mmarima baanum agyae na ɔbarima a wo ne no wɔ hɔ seesei no mpo, ɔnyɛ wo kunu.”
for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: thou hast spoken this truly.
19 Ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Owura, mehunu sɛ woyɛ odiyifoɔ.
The woman says to Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Yɛn agyanom Samariafoɔ somm Onyankopɔn wɔ saa bepɔ yi so, nanso mo Yudafoɔ deɛ, moka sɛ Yerusalem nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsom Onyankopɔn.”
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where it behooveth to worship.
21 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Merema woate aseɛ sɛ berɛ bi bɛba a nnipa rensom Agya no wɔ saa bepɔ yi so anaa Yerusalem.
Jesus says to her, Believe me, woman, that the hour cometh, you will worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.
22 Mo Samariafoɔ nnim deɛ mosom no. Nanso, yɛn Yudafoɔ deɛ, yɛnim deɛ yɛsom no, ɛfiri sɛ, Yudafoɔ so na nkwagyeɛ nam ba.
You worship, you know not what: we worship that which we know: because salvation is of the Jews.
23 Nna bi reba, na mpo aba dada sɛ, nokorɛ asomfoɔ bɛsɔre Agya no wɔ Honhom ne nokorɛ mu. Yeinom ne asomfoɔ a Agya no hwehwɛ.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshiping Him.
24 Onyankopɔn yɛ Honhom, na wɔn a wɔsom no no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsom no Honhom ne nokorɛ mu.”
God is a Spirit, and it behooveth those who worship Him to worship in spirit and in truth.
25 Ɔbaa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Menim sɛ Mesia no a wɔfrɛ no Kristo no bɛba, na sɛ ɔba a, ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn biribiara mu.”
The woman says to Him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ): when He may come, He will proclaim to us all things.
26 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me a me ne wo rekasa yi, mene Kristo no.”
Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am He.
27 Yesu ano siiɛ pɛ na nʼasuafoɔ no sane baeɛ. Ɛyɛɛ asuafoɔ no nwanwa sɛ wɔbɛtoo Yesu sɛ ɔne ɔbaa bi redi nkɔmmɔ. Nanso, wɔn mu biara ammisa ɔbaa no deɛ ɔrehwehwɛ ne Yesu nso deɛ enti a ɔne saa ɔbaa no redi nkɔmmɔ no.
And at this time His disciples came, and were wondering because He was speaking with the woman; no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why do you speak with her?
28 Afei, ɔbaa yi gyaa nʼasuhina no hɔ sane kɔɔ kuro no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfoɔ sɛ,
Then the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and says to the men,
29 “Mommra mmɛhwɛ ɔbarima bi a waka kɔkoam nneɛma a mayɛ akyerɛ me! Anaa, ɔno ne Agyenkwa no?”
Come hither, see the man who told me all things which I did: Is not He the Christ?
30 Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm yi nyinaa bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ Yesu.
They came out from the city, and came to Him.
31 Afei, asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, didi.”
Meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, Master eat.
32 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mewɔ aduane a medi a monnim ho hwee.”
He said to them, I have meat to eat, which you know not.
33 Ɛmaa asuafoɔ no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Obi abrɛ no aduane bi anaa?”
Then His disciples were speaking to one another, Whether has any one brought Him something to eat?
34 Yesu buaa sɛ, “Mʼaduane ne sɛ meyɛ deɛ ɔsomaa me no apɛdeɛ na mewie dwuma a ɔde maa me sɛ memmɛdi no.
Jesus says to them, My food is that I may do the will of Him that sent me, and finish His work.
35 Moka sɛ, ‘Abosome anan mu, otwaberɛ bɛduru.’ Mommue mo ani nhwɛ mo ho nhyia, na mobɛhunu sɛ aburoo ahoa a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, otwaberɛ aduru!
Do you not say, That it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and see the fields, because they are white unto the harvest
36 Otwafoɔ nya nʼakatua a ɛsɛ no na ɔboaboa deɛ watwa no ano ma nkwa a ɛnsa da. Yei ma deɛ ɔdua ne deɛ ɔtwa no nyinaa ani gye. (aiōnios g166)
already. He that reapeth receiveth reward, and gathereth fruit unto eternal life; in order that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Ɛyɛ nokorɛ pefee sɛ, ‘Obi dua na obi twa.’
For in this the word is true, that there is one sowing, and another reaping.
38 Mesomaa mo kɔɔ baabi sɛ monkɔtwa deɛ ɛnyɛ mo na moduaeɛ. Nnipa foforɔ na wɔduaeɛ na mo deɛ, moanya mfasoɔ afiri adwuma a wɔyɛ no mu.”
I have sent you to reap that upon which you have never labored: others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.
39 Esiane adanseɛ a Samariani baa no dii wɔ Yesu ho sɛ, “Waka biribiara a mayɛ akyerɛ me” no enti, kuro no mu hɔfoɔ pii gyee Yesu dii sɛ ɔno ne Mesaia no.
But many of the Samaritans from that city believed on Him through the word of the woman, testifying that, He told me all things which I did. Then when the Samaritans came to Him they asked Him to abide with them:
40 Enti, ɛberɛ a Samariafoɔ no baa Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔsrɛɛ sɛ ɔntena wɔn nkyɛn. Ɔpenee so dii nnanu wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
and He remained there two days:
41 Ne nsɛm no enti nnipa bebree gyee no diiɛ.
and many more believed on Him through His word;
42 Nnipa a wɔgyee no dii no ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ adanseɛ a wobɛdiiɛ no enti na yɛgye no di, na mmom nsɛm a yɛate sɛ ɔka no enti na yɛagye no adi. Na yɛnim sɛ ɔno ne ewiase Agyenkwa no.”
and they continued to say to the woman, We no longer believe through your talk; for we have heard and we know that He is truly the Savior of the world.
43 Nnanu akyi no, Yesu firii kuro no mu kɔɔ Galilea.
And after two days He departed thence into Galilee.
44 Ɛwom sɛ na Yesu aka sɛ, odiyifoɔ biara nni animuonyam wɔ ne ɔman mu deɛ, nanso
And Jesus Himself witnessed, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 ɛsiane deɛ Galileafoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem Twam Afahyɛ berɛ no mu no hunuu deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ no enti, ɔduruu Galilea no, wɔgyee no.
And when He came into Galilee, Galileans received Him, having seen all things which He did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also came to the feast.
46 Ɔsane kɔɔ Kana a ɛwɔ Galilea, faako a ɔmaa nsuo danee nsã hɔ no bio. Ɔwɔ hɔ no, ɔhene ɔsomfoɔ panin bi a na ne ba yare wɔ Kapernaum no
Then He came again into Cana of Galilee, where He turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royalist, whose son was sick in Capernaum;
47 tee Yesu nka sɛ ɔfiri Yudea aba Galilea hɔ. Saa ɔbarima yi kɔɔ Kana kɔhunuu Yesu, srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔne no nkɔ Kapernaum nkɔsa ne ba a na ɔyare a ɔreyɛ awu no yadeɛ mma no.
he having heard that Jesus has come out of Judea into Galilee, came away to Him, and continued to ask Him that He may come down and heal his son; for He was about to die.
48 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Menyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nkyerɛ mo ansa na moagye me adi anaa?”
Then Jesus said to him, Unless you may see signs and wonders, you can not believe.
49 Ɔsomfoɔ panin no de ahoyera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, ma yɛnkɔ ntɛm, anyɛ saa a, me ba no bɛwu.”
The nobleman says to Him, Lord, come down before my little child dies.
50 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ efie, wo ba no ho ayɛ no den!” Ɔsomfoɔ panin no gyee asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no dii na ɔsiim sɛ ɔrekɔ efie.
Jesus says to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and departed.
51 Ɔnam ɛkwan so no, nʼasomfoɔ bi bɛhyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ne ba no ho ayɛ no den.
And he already coming down, the servants met him, and reported, that the child lives.
52 Ɔbarima no bisaa nʼasomfoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na ne ho yɛɛ no den?” Asomfoɔ no buaa no sɛ, “Nnora awia bɛyɛ dɔnko berɛ mu na huraeɛnini a na abɔ no no gyaeeɛ.”
Then he inquired the hour at which he began to improve; and they said to him, The fever left him at the seventh hour yesterday.
53 Ɔbarima no tee asɛm no pɛ na ɔkaee sɛ ɛyɛ saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ na wo ba no ho ayɛ no den no.” Yei maa ɔbarima no ne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa gyee Yesu diiɛ.
Then the father knew that it was at that hour at which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and he and all his house believed.
54 Yei ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛtɔ so mmienu a Yesu firii Yudea baa Galilea no ɔyɛeɛ.
Jesus, having again come out of Judea into Galilee, wrought this second miracle.
