< Yohane 4 >

1 Farisifoɔ no tee sɛ nnipa pii rekɔ Yesu nkyɛn ama wabɔ wɔn asu sene sɛdeɛ nnipa kɔ Yohane nkyɛn.
UJesu wezwa ukuthi abaFarisi basebekuzwile ukuthi usebhaphathize abantu wabuye waba labafundi abanengi kuloJohane,
2 Nso na Yesu ankasa deɛ, ɔmmɔ asu, na mmom, nʼasuafoɔ no na wɔbɔ asu.
loba nje iqiniso kuyikuthi kwakungasuye uJesu owayebhaphathiza, kodwa kubhaphathiza abafundi bakhe.
3 Yesu tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔfirii Yudea sane kɔɔ Galilea.
Kwathi esekuzwile lokho, wasuka eJudiya wabuyela futhi eGalile.
4 Ɔrekɔ no, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa Samaria.
Manje kwakumele adabule eSamariya.
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.
Ngakho wafika emzini waseSamariya owawuthiwa yiSikhari, eduzane lesiqinti uJakhobe ayesinike indodana yakhe uJosefa.
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.
Umthombo kaJakhobe wawukhonapho, uJesu wathi esediniwe ngohambo, wahlala phansi malungana lomthombo. Kwakusemini enkulu.
7 Ankyɛre, Samariani baa bi baa hɔ bɛtoo nsuo, na Yesu srɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma me nsuo no bi nnom.”
Kwathi umfazi waseSamariya efika ukuzakukha amanzi uJesu wathi kuye, “Ake unginathise.”
8 Saa ɛberɛ no, na Yesu asuafoɔ no kɔ kuro no mu kɔtɔ aduane.
(Abafundi bakhe babeye emzini ukuyathenga ukudla.)
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.
Umfazi waseSamariya wathi kuye, “UngumJuda, mina ngingumfazi waseSamariya. Pho ungacela kanjani ukuthi unathiswe yimi?” (Phela amaJuda kawadlelani lamaSamariya.)
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.”
UJesu wamphendula wathi, “Aluba ubusazi isipho sikaNkulunkulu lokuthi ungubani lowo ocela ukuthi umnathise, ngabe umcelile wakupha amanzi okuphila.”
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?
Umfazi wathi, “Nkosi, wena kawulakho okokukhisa amanzi, futhi umthombo uyatshona. Ungawathatha ngaphi lawomanzi okuphila na?
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?”
Wena umkhulu na kulobaba uJakhobe owasipha umthombo lo laye wanatha kuwo kanye lamadodana akhe lezimvu zakhe kanye lezifuyo zakhe?”
13 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Obiara a ɔnom saa nsuo yi bi no, osukɔm de no bio,
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Wonke umuntu onatha amanzi la uzaphinda ome futhi,
14 nanso deɛ ɔbɛnom nsuo a mede bɛma no no, osukɔm renne no bio da. Nsuo a mede bɛma no no bɛyɛ sɛ asutire a ɛrenwe da wɔ ne mu, na ɛbɛma no nkwa a ɛrensa da.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
kodwa lowo onatha amanzi engimnika wona, kasoze abuye ome lanini. Ngempela amanzi engimnika wona azakuba ngumfula ogelezela ekuphileni okungapheliyo.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
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.”
Umfazi wathi kuye, “Nkosi, ngipha lawomanzi ukuze ngingaphindi ngome, ngingabi ngilokhu ngisiza lapha ngizokukha amanzi.”
16 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔfrɛ wo kunu na wo ne no mmra.”
Wathi kowesifazane, “Hamba uyebiza umkakho uze laye lapha.”
17 Ɔbaa no buaa no sɛ, “Me wura, menni kunu.” Yesu nso kaa sɛ, “Asɛm a woaka no yɛ nokorɛ sɛ wonni kunu no.
Waphendula wathi, “Kangilandoda.” UJesu wathi kuye, “Uqondile nxa usithi kawulandoda.
18 Woaware mmarima baanum agyae na ɔbarima a wo ne no wɔ hɔ seesei no mpo, ɔnyɛ wo kunu.”
Iqiniso yikuthi usube lamadoda amahlanu, futhi indoda le olayo khathesi kayisiyakho. Lokho okutshiloyo kuliqiniso.”
19 Ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Owura, mehunu sɛ woyɛ odiyifoɔ.
Owesifazane wathi, “Nkosi, sengibona ukuthi ungumphrofethi.
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.”
Okhokho bethu babekhonza phezu kwentaba le, kodwa lina maJuda lithi indawo okumele sikhonzele kuyo iseJerusalema.”
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.
UJesu wathi, “nkosazana, ngikholwa, siyeza isikhathi lapho elingezukumkhonza uBaba entabeni kumbe eJerusalema.
22 Mo Samariafoɔ nnim deɛ mosom no. Nanso, yɛn Yudafoɔ deɛ, yɛnim deɛ yɛsom no, ɛfiri sɛ, Yudafoɔ so na nkwagyeɛ nam ba.
Lina maSamariya likhonza elingakwaziyo; thina sikhonza lokho esikwaziyo, ngoba insindiso ivela kumaJuda.
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.
Kodwa siyeza isikhathi, yebo manje sesifikile lapho abakhonzi beqiniso bezamkhonza uBaba ngomoya langeqiniso, ngoba yibo abakhonzi abanjalo uBaba abadingayo.
24 Onyankopɔn yɛ Honhom, na wɔn a wɔsom no no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsom no Honhom ne nokorɛ mu.”
UNkulunkulu ungumoya, labo abamkhonzayo kumele bamkhonze ngomoya langeqiniso.”
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.”
Owesifazane wathi, “Ngiyakwazi ukuthi uMesiya (othiwa nguKhristu) uyeza. Esefikile uzasichazela konke.”
26 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me a me ne wo rekasa yi, mene Kristo no.”
UJesu wasesithi, “Mina engikhuluma lawe nginguye.”
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.
Ngalesosikhathi abafundi bakhe baphenduka, bamangala ukufumana uJesu ekhuluma lowesifazane. Kodwa kakho owabuzayo wathi, “Ufunani na?” kumbe athi, “Kungani ukhuluma lowesifazane na?”
28 Afei, ɔbaa yi gyaa nʼasuhina no hɔ sane kɔɔ kuro no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfoɔ sɛ,
Owesifazane watshiya inkonxa yakhe wabuyela emzini wakibo wathi ebantwini,
29 “Mommra mmɛhwɛ ɔbarima bi a waka kɔkoam nneɛma a mayɛ akyerɛ me! Anaa, ɔno ne Agyenkwa no?”
“Wozani lizobona indoda engitshele konke esengake ngakwenza. Kambe angaba nguye yini uKhristu?”
30 Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm yi nyinaa bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ Yesu.
Baphuma emzini lowo baqonda kuye.
31 Afei, asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, didi.”
Kusenzakala konke lokhu abafundi bakhe bamncenga bathi, “Rabi, ake udle ulutho.”
32 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mewɔ aduane a medi a monnim ho hwee.”
Kodwa wathi kubo, “Ngilokudla engikudlayo elingakwaziyo lina.”
33 Ɛmaa asuafoɔ no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Obi abrɛ no aduane bi anaa?”
Abafundi babuzana bathi, “Kambe ngabe ukhona omlethele ukudla na?”
34 Yesu buaa sɛ, “Mʼaduane ne sɛ meyɛ deɛ ɔsomaa me no apɛdeɛ na mewie dwuma a ɔde maa me sɛ memmɛdi no.
UJesu wathi, “Okwami ukudla yikwenza intando yalowo ongithumileyo lokuphelelisa umsebenzi wakhe.
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!
Kanti angithi lithi, ‘Kusele izinyanga ezine ukuthi kufike isikhathi sokuvuna’? Ngithi vulani amehlo enu likhangele amasimu! Amabele aselungele ukuvunwa.
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)
Khathesi lokhu, umvuni uvele usehle ezuza iholo lakhe, usebuthela amabele ekuphileni kwaphakade, ukuze umhlanyeli lomvuni bajabule ndawonye. (aiōnios g166)
37 Ɛyɛ nokorɛ pefee sɛ, ‘Obi dua na obi twa.’
Ngakho ilizwi elithi, ‘Omunye uyahlanyela, omunye avune’ liliqiniso.
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.”
Ngalithuma ukuyavuna lokho elingakusebenzelanga. Abanye bawenzile umsebenzi onzima, lina selivune umvuzo womsebenzi wabo.”
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.
AmaSamariya amanengi akulowomuzi akholwa kuye ngenxa yobufakazi bowesifazane owathi, “Ungitshele konke esengake ngakwenza.”
40 Enti, ɛberɛ a Samariafoɔ no baa Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔsrɛɛ sɛ ɔntena wɔn nkyɛn. Ɔpenee so dii nnanu wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
Ngakho amaSamariya esefike kuye amcela ukuthi ahlale labo, wasehlala insuku ezimbili.
41 Ne nsɛm no enti nnipa bebree gyee no diiɛ.
Ngenxa yamazwi akhe abanengi baba ngamakholwa.
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.”
Bathi kowesifazane, “Kasisakholwa kuphela ngenxa yalokho okutshiloyo; manje sesizizwele thina ngokwethu, ngakho sesisazi ukuthi umuntu lo ngeqiniso unguMsindisi womhlaba.”
43 Nnanu akyi no, Yesu firii kuro no mu kɔɔ Galilea.
Ngemva kwalezonsuku ezimbili, uJesu wasuka waya eGalile.
44 Ɛwom sɛ na Yesu aka sɛ, odiyifoɔ biara nni animuonyam wɔ ne ɔman mu deɛ, nanso
(Phela uJesu yena ngokwakhe wayetshilo ukuthi umphrofethi kalalo udumo elizweni lakibo.)
45 ɛsiane deɛ Galileafoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem Twam Afahyɛ berɛ no mu no hunuu deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ no enti, ɔduruu Galilea no, wɔgyee no.
Wathi efika eGalile, amaGalile amamukela ngokumthakazelela. Ayekubonile konke lokho akwenzayo eJerusalema, eMkhosini wePhasika, ngoba lawo ayekhona khonale.
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
Wabuya njalo wethekelela eKhana laseGalile, lapho aphendula khona amanzi abaliwayini. Kwakukhona lapho isiphathamandla sasesikhosini esasigulelwa yindodana yaso eKhaphenawume.
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.
Kwathi indoda leyo isizwile ukuthi uJesu wayesefikile eGalile evela eJudiya, yaya kuye yamncenga ukuthi eze azosilisa indodana yayo eyayisibangwa lezibi.
48 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Menyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nkyerɛ mo ansa na moagye me adi anaa?”
UJesu wasitshela wathi, “Ngaphandle kokuthi lina bantu libone izibonakaliso ezididayo lezimangaliso kalisoze lafa lakholwa.”
49 Ɔsomfoɔ panin no de ahoyera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, ma yɛnkɔ ntɛm, anyɛ saa a, me ba no bɛwu.”
Sathi isiphathamandla sasesikhosini, “Nkosi, woza umntanami engakafi.”
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.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Usungahamba. Indodana yakho izaphila.” Indoda yalikholwa ilizwi likaJesu yahamba.
51 Ɔnam ɛkwan so no, nʼasomfoɔ bi bɛhyiaa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ne ba no ho ayɛ no den.
Yathi ilokhu isesendleleni, izinceku zayo zayihlangabeza zayibikela ukuthi indodana yayo yayisiluleme.
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.”
Isibuzile ukuthi kwakuyisikhathi bani lapho indodana yayo eyasila ngaso, zathi kuyo, “Umkhuhlane uyixolele izolo ngehola lakuqala emini.”
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.
Uyise wananzelela ukuthi leso yiso kanye isikhathi uJesu atsho kuye ukuthi, “Indodana yakho izaphila.” Ngakho yena kanye labendlu yakhe bonke bakholwa.
54 Yei ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛtɔ so mmienu a Yesu firii Yudea baa Galilea no ɔyɛeɛ.
Lo kwakungumangaliso wesibili uJesu awenzayo esefikile eGalile evela eJudiya.
