John 4
1 Àwọn Farisi sì gbọ́ pé, Jesu ni, ó sì ń ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn púpọ̀ ju Johanu lọ.
Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
2 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Jesu tìkára rẹ̀ kò ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi bí kò ṣe àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀,
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 Ó fi Judea sílẹ̀, ó sì tún lọ sí Galili.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 Òun sì ní láti kọjá láàrín Samaria.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 Nígbà náà ni ó dé ìlú Samaria kan, tí a ń pè ní Sikari, tí ó súnmọ́ etí ilẹ̀ oko tí Jakọbu ti fi fún Josẹfu, ọmọ rẹ̀.
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Kànga Jakọbu sì wà níbẹ̀. Nítorí pé ó rẹ Jesu nítorí ìrìn rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó jókòó létí kànga, ó sì jẹ́ ìwọ̀n wákàtí kẹfà ọjọ́.
Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.
7 Obìnrin kan, ará Samaria sì wá láti fà omi, Jesu wí fún un pé ṣe ìwọ yóò fún mi ni omi mu.
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 Nítorí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ti lọ sí ìlú láti lọ ra oúnjẹ.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Obìnrin ará Samaria náà sọ fún un pé, “Júù ni ìwọ, obìnrin ará Samaria ni èmi. Èétirí tí ìwọ ń béèrè ohun mímu lọ́wọ́ mi?” (Nítorí tí àwọn Júù kì í bá àwọn ará Samaria ṣe pọ̀.)
"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jesu dáhùn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé ìwọ mọ ẹ̀bùn Ọlọ́run, àti ẹni tí ó wí fún ọ pé, ‘Fún mi ni omi mu’, ìwọ ìbá sì ti béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, òun ìbá ti fi omi ìyè fún ọ.”
"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
11 Obìnrin náà wí fún un pé, “Alàgbà, ìwọ kò ní igbá-ìfami tí ìwọ ó fi fà omi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kànga náà jì, Níbo ni ìwọ ó ti rí omi ìyè náà?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Ìwọ pọ̀ ju Jakọbu baba wa lọ bí, ẹni tí ó fún wa ní kànga náà, tí òun tìkára rẹ̀ si mu nínú rẹ̀, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àti àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ̀?”
Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"
13 Jesu dáhùn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá mu nínú omi yìí, òǹgbẹ yóò sì tún gbẹ ẹ́.
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Obìnrin náà sì wí fún u pé, “Alàgbà, fún mi ní omi yìí, kí òǹgbẹ kí ó má ṣe gbẹ mí, kí èmi kí ó má sì wá fa omi níbí mọ́.”
"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."
16 Jesu wí fún un pé, “Lọ pe ọkọ rẹ, kí ó sì padà wá sí ìhín yìí.”
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Obìnrin náà dáhùn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Èmi kò ní ọkọ.” Jesu wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ́ dáhùn dáradára pé, èmi kò ní ọkọ:
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Nítorí tí ìwọ ti ní ọkọ márùn-ún rí, ọkùnrin tí ìwọ sì ní báyìí kì í ṣe ọkọ rẹ. Ohun tí ó ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sọ tán yìí, òtítọ́ ni.”
"for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that."
19 Obìnrin náà wí fún un pé, “Alàgbà, mo wòye pé, wòlíì ni ìwọ ń ṣe.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 Àwọn baba wa sìn lórí òkè yìí; ẹ̀yin sì wí pé, Jerusalẹmu ni ibi tí ó yẹ tí à bá ti máa sìn.”
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Jesu wí fún un pé, “Gbà mí gbọ́ obìnrin yìí, àkókò náà ń bọ̀, nígbà tí kì yóò ṣe lórí òkè yìí tàbí ní Jerusalẹmu ni ẹ̀yin ó máa sin Baba.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Ẹ̀yin ń sin ohun tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀, àwa ń sin ohun tí àwa mọ̀, nítorí ìgbàlà ti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn Júù wá.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n àkókò ń bọ̀, ó sì dé tán nísinsin yìí, nígbà tí àwọn olùsìn tòótọ́ yóò máa sin Baba ní ẹ̀mí àti ní òtítọ́, nítorí irú wọn ni Baba ń wá kí ó máa sin òun.
But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.
24 Ẹ̀mí ni Ọlọ́run: àwọn ẹni tí ń sìn ín kò lè ṣe aláìsìn ín ní Ẹ̀mí àti ní òtítọ́.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Obìnrin náà wí fún un pé, mo mọ̀ pé, “Messia ń bọ̀ wá, tí a ń pè ní Kristi, nígbà tí Òun bá dé, yóò sọ ohun gbogbo fún wa.”
"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."
26 Jesu sọ ọ́ di mí mọ̀ fún un pé, “Èmi ẹni tí ń bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀ yìí ni Òun.”
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 Lákokò yí ni àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ dé, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n pé ó ń bá obìnrin sọ̀rọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó wí pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ń wá?” tàbí “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń bá a sọ̀rọ̀?”
Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Nígbà náà ni obìnrin náà fi ládugbó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì mú ọ̀nà rẹ̀ pọ̀n lọ sí ìlú, ó sì wí fún àwọn ènìyàn pé,
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 “Ẹ wá wò ọkùnrin kan, ẹni tí ó sọ ohun gbogbo tí mo ti ṣe rí fún mi, èyí ha lè jẹ́ Kristi náà?”
"Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
30 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n ti ìlú jáde, wọ́n sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 Láàrín èyí, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ń rọ̀ ọ́ wí pé, “Rabbi, jẹun.”
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi ní oúnjẹ láti jẹ, tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀.”
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Nítorí náà ni àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ń bi ara wọn lérè wí pé, “Ẹnìkan mú oúnjẹ fún un wá láti jẹ bí?”
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Oúnjẹ mi ni láti ṣe ìfẹ́ ẹni tí ó rán mi, àti láti parí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Ẹ̀yin kò ha wí pé, ‘Ó ku oṣù mẹ́rin, ìkórè yóò sì dé?’ wò ó, mo wí fún un yín, Ẹ ṣí ojú yín sókè, kí ẹ sì wo oko; nítorí tí wọn ti pọ́n fún ìkórè.
Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.
36 Kódà báyìí, ẹni tí ó ń kórè ń gba owó ọ̀yà rẹ̀, ó si ń kó èso jọ sí ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun, kí ẹni tí ó ń fúnrúgbìn àti ẹni tí ń kórè lè jọ máa yọ̀ pọ̀. (aiōnios g166)
The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Nítorí nínú èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ náà fi jẹ́ òtítọ́, ‘Ẹnìkan ni ó fúnrúgbìn, ẹlòmíràn ni ó sì ń kórè jọ.’
For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
38 Mo rán yín lọ kórè ohun tí ẹ kò ṣiṣẹ́ fún. Àwọn ẹlòmíràn ti ṣiṣẹ́, ẹ̀yin sì kórè èrè làálàá wọn.”
I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours."
39 Ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ará Samaria láti ìlú náà wá sì gbà á gbọ́ nítorí ìjẹ́rìí obìnrin náà pé, “Ó sọ gbogbo ohun tí mo ti ṣe fún mi.”
Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done."
40 Nítorí náà, nígbà tí àwọn ará Samaria wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n rọ̀ ọ́ pé, kí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn, ó sì dúró fún ọjọ́ méjì.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sì gbàgbọ́ sí i nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀.
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 Wọ́n sì wí fún obìnrin náà pé, “Kì í ṣe nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ nìkan ni àwa ṣe gbàgbọ́, nítorí tí àwa tìkára wa ti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, àwa sì mọ̀ pé, nítòótọ́ èyí ni Kristi náà, Olùgbàlà aráyé.”
and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."
43 Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ méjì ó sì ti ibẹ̀ kúrò, ó lọ sí Galili.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Nítorí Jesu tìkára rẹ̀ ti jẹ́rìí wí pé, Wòlíì kì í ní ọlá ní ilẹ̀ òun tìkára rẹ̀.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Nítorí náà nígbà tí ó dé Galili, àwọn ará Galili gbà á, nítorí ti wọ́n ti rí ohun gbogbo tí ó ṣe ní Jerusalẹmu nígbà àjọ ìrékọjá; nítorí àwọn tìkára wọn lọ sí àjọ pẹ̀lú.
When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
46 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jesu tún wá sí Kana ti Galili, níbi tí ó gbé sọ omi di wáìnì. Ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá kan sì wá, ẹni tí ara ọmọ rẹ̀ kò dá ní Kapernaumu.
So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
47 Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ pé Jesu ti Judea wá sí Galili, ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó sì ń bẹ̀ ẹ́, kí ó lè sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá kí ó mú ọmọ òun láradá: nítorí tí ó wà ní ojú ikú.
Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí fún un pé, “Bí kò ṣe pé ẹ̀yin bá rí àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu, ẹ̀yin kì yóò gbàgbọ́ láé.”
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá náà wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá kí ọmọ mi tó kú.”
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Jesu wí fún un pé, “Máa bá ọ̀nà rẹ lọ; ọmọ rẹ yóò yè.” Ọkùnrin náà sì gba ọ̀rọ̀ Jesu gbọ́, ó sì kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Bí ó sì ti ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pàdé rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, ọmọ rẹ ti yè.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 Nígbà náà ni ó béèrè wákàtí tí ara rẹ̀ bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í yá lọ́wọ́ wọn, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Ní àná, ní wákàtí keje ni ibà náà fi í sílẹ̀.”
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni baba náà mọ̀ pé ní wákàtí kan náà ni, nínú èyí tí Jesu wí fún un pé “Ọmọ rẹ̀ yè.” Òun tìkára rẹ̀ sì gbàgbọ́, àti gbogbo ilé rẹ̀.
Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.
54 Èyí ni iṣẹ́ àmì kejì tí Jesu ṣe nígbà tí ó ti Judea jáde wá sí Galili.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
