John 4
1 Yesu bu kazaba ti Bafalisi bawa ti wukitula ayi wubotika minlonguki miwombo vioka Yowani,
When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 muaki niandi veka Yesu kasia botika mutu ko vayi minlongukimiandi kaka miba botikanga batu;
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, )
3 buna wukatuka mu Yuda, wuvutuka ku Ngalili.
He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Kafueti kaka viokila va Samali.
And he must essentially go through Samaria.
5 Buna wutula va divula dimosi di Samali bantedilanga Sikali, difikimini ayi nsitu wu Yakobi wowo kavana muanꞌandi Zozefi.
Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Kuna kuba dibulu di nlangu di Yakobi. Yiba nduka-nduka midi, Yesu wuvuanda mu nkuefu wu dibulu bila phokongo yi nzietolo yiba yandi.
Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 Zimbukila nketo wumosi wu muisi Samali wuyiza ku teka nlangu, Yesu wunkamba: —Wuphana nlangu wunua!
There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says unto her, Give me to drink.
8 Minlonguki miandi miyenda ku divula ku sumba bidia.
(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.)
9 Vayi nketo beni wunkamba: —Buna buevi ngeyo widi Nyuda wufueti kundombila nlangu wu nua minu nketo wu muisi Samali e? Bila Bayuda ayi basi Samali baba wizananga ko.
Then says the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Yesu wumvutudila: —Enati zebi dikaba di Nzambi ayi mutu wulombidi nlangu wu nua; nganu ngeyo wunlombidi nlangu wu nua ayi niandi wuveni nlangu wu luzingu.
Jesus answered and said unto her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
11 Nketo wumvutudila: —A Tata, wusi ko kadi kima kitekila nlangu, ayi dibulu thipula didi. Buna kuevi wulenda bakila nlangu beni wu luzingu e?
The woman says unto him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then have you that living water?
12 Nkuluꞌeto Yakobi wutuvana dibulu diadi, niandi veka wunua nlangu wu dibulu diadi va kimosi ayi bana bandi ayi bibulu biandi. Buna wumbanzila ti ngeyo lutidi nkulu eto Yakobi mu buneni e?
Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Yesu wumvutudila: —Woso kuandi mutu wela nua nlangu wawu wela buela mona phuila;
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
15 Buna nketo beni wunkamba: —A Tata, wuphana nlangu beni muingi ndibika buela monanga phuilaayi muingi ndibika buela kuiza tekanga nlangu vava!
The woman says unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
16 Yesu wunkamba: —Yenda tedi bakala diaku mbila, buna wiza yandi vava.
Jesus says unto her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
17 Nketo wumvutudila: —Ndisi wukuela ko. Yesu wunkamba: —Buiedika kuandi tubidi ti wisi wukuela ko.
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, You have well said, I have no husband:
18 Bila babakala batanu baba yaku. Diodi didi yaku buabu kasiꞌandibakala diaku ko. Mambu momo tubidi madi makiedika.
For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
19 Nketo wumvutudila: —A tata, mbueni ti widi mbikudi.
The woman says unto him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Bakulu beto basambila va mongo wawu vayi beno lueta tuba ti ku Yelusalemi kaka kuawu bafueti sambidilanga.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and all of you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Yesu wumvutudila: —Nketo, wunguilukila; thangu yeka kuiza yoyi luela sambidila Tata bika va mongo wawu ayi bika ku Yelusalemi.
Jesus says unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when all of you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Beno lunsambilanga ma lukambulu zaba. Vayi beto tuzebi ma tuetasambila, bila phulusu yitotukila kuidi Bayuda.
All of you worship all of you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 Vayi thangu yeka nduka kuiza, ayi yifueni yoyo minsambidi mikiedika miela sambilanga Tata mu Pheve ayi mu kiedika, bila Tatawuntombanga bobo bankunsambidilanga mu phila yoyo.
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit (pneuma) and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
24 Nzambi niandi Pheve, buna bufueni bobo bakunsambila bafueti kunsambidila mu Pheve ayi mu kiedika.
God is a Spirit: (pneuma) and they that worship him must worship him in spirit (pneuma) and in truth.
25 Nketo wunkamba: —Nzebi ti Mesiya mutu beta tedila Klisto wela kuiza, bu kela kuiza. Buna kela kuiza buna wela kutu sudikisa mambu moso.
The woman says unto him, I know that Messiah comes, which is called Christ: when he has come, he will tell us all things.
26 Yesu wumvutudila: —Minu wawu wunyoluka yaku.
Jesus says unto her, I that speak unto you am he.
27 Muna thangu yina, minlonguki miandi mivutuka, misimina bu miyiza kumbata wulembo solula ayi nketo wu muisi Samali. Muaki kadi mutu wumosi kasia kunyuvula ko ti: “mbi wulembo nyuvulanga e?” Bila “mbi wulembo soludilanga yandi e?”
And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
28 Vana vawu nketo wutumbu bika mvunguꞌandi, wuvutuka nsualu ku divula ayi wukamba batu:
The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and says to the men,
29 —Yizanu, lutala mutu wukhembi mambu moso momo ndivanga. Niandi ko Klisto e?
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Diawu batu batotuka mu divula ayi bayenda ku kaba.
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 Mu thangu yina, minlonguki miandi mintatimisa bu minkamba: —Labi, dia!
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 Vayi Yesu wuba vutudila: —Minu bidia bidi yama biobi beno lukambulu zaba.
But he said unto them, I have food to eat that all of you know not of.
33 Minlonguki miyuvasana bawu na bawu: —Buna mutu wunnatiningi bidia e?
Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Yesu wuba kamba: —Vanga luzolo lu mutu wuthuma ayi manisa kisalu kiandi biawu bidia biama.
Jesus says unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Beno lutubanga ko ti: zingonda ziya zisiedi buna thangu yi tota bidia mu zitsola yifueni e? Vayi tala minu ndikulukamba ti: luvumbula meso meno, lutala zitsola, makundi mameni yela.
Say not all of you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 Mvedi wu makundi wuntambulanga mfutu andi ayi wunkupikanga mu diambudi luzingu lukalumani muingi nkuni ayi mvedi bamona khini va kimosi. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit unto life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Bila vava vamonikini tsundu yi nongo yayi: “Wunkaka niandi wunkunanga; wunkaka niandi wumvelanga”.
And herein is that saying (logos) true, One sows, and another reaps.
38 Ndilutuma luenda vedi makundi mu tsola yi lukambu kueno sala, batu bankaka bawu basala vayi beno luvela makundi ma kisalu kiawu.
I sent you to reap that whereon all of you bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and all of you are entered into their labours.
39 Mu divula dina, basi Samali bawombo bawilukila Yesu mu diambu di kimbangi kitelama nketo wuna bu katuba ti: “wukhembingi mambu moso momo ndivanga.”
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying (logos) of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 Thangu basi Samali bayiza vaba Yesu, banleba kateka kala yawu. Bilumbu biodi kavuandila yawu.
So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 Buna batu bawombo bankaka bawilukila mu diambu di mambu mandi
And many more believed because of his own word; (logos)
42 ayi bakamba nketo beni ti: —Buabu beto tuwilukidi, bika sia ti mu diambu di mambu maku wutukembingivayi mu diambu di beto veka tunwilu. Tuzebi bukiedika kuandi ti niandi Mvulusi wu nza.
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 Bilumbu biodi biobi bu bivioka, Yesu wubotuka kuna, wuyenda ku Ngalili.
Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 Bila niandi veka Yesu wutelama kimbangi, bu kakamba ti: Mbikudi kasi nzitusu mu yandi tsi ko.
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Bu katula ku Ngalili, basi Ngalili banyakula bu bamona bikumu biobi kavanga ku Yelusalemi mu thangu nyengo bila bawu mamvawu baba kuendanga ku nyengo.
Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 Wuvutukila ku Kana, mu tsi Ngalili, kuna kakitudila nlangu vinu. Vayi kuba Pfumu yimosi yi leta, muisi Kafalinawumi, wuba ayi muanꞌandi wubakala wuba kimbevo
So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Bu kawa ti Yesu wubotukidi mu tsi Yuda; buabu widi mu tsi Ngalili, buna wuyiza kunleba mu diambu kiza belusa muanꞌandi wubakala wuba nduka mu fua.
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Yesu wunkamba: —Enati lukadi mona bidimbu ayi bikumu buna lulendi wilukila ko e?
Then said Jesus unto him, Except all of you see signs and wonders, all of you will not believe.
49 Pfumu beni wunleba: —Pfumu, tuenda nsualu tuamina muanꞌama kafua!
The nobleman says unto him, Sir, come down before my child die.
50 Yesu wumvutudila: —Yenda kuaku, muanꞌaku wulembo zingi! Mutu wuwilukila mambu mankamba Yesu, ayi, wuyenda kuandi.
Jesus says unto him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word (logos) that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 Buna wukidi mu nzila, bisadi biandi biyiza kundengana, binkamba ti: “muanꞌaku wulembo zingi.”
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives.
52 Wuba yuvula kani thangu mbi muanꞌandi kamonina mbote. Bamvutudila: —Zinzangala zimeni kibedi zono va thangu yitheti ku manima midi.
Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Dise dizaba ti yawu yina thangu Yesu kankambila ti: “Muanꞌaku wulembo zingi” Buna mutu beni va kimosi ayi batu boso baba mvuandanga ku nzoꞌandi bawilukila.
So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 Kioki kumu kimmuadi kivanga Yesu bu kaba mu tsi Yuda mu kuenda ku Ngalili.
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
