Joan 4
1 Bada eçagutu çuenean Iaunac nola ençun çuten Phariseuéc ecen Iesusec discipulu guehiago eguiten çuela eta batheyatzen, ecen ez Ioannesec:
Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (Iesus bera batheyatzen ari ezpacen-ere, baina haren discipuluac)
(Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),
3 Vtzi ceçan Iudea, eta ioan cedin berriz Galilearát.
he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.
4 Eta harc behar çuen iragan Samariatic.
He had to pass through Samaria,
5 Ethorten da bada Samariaco hiri Sichar deitzen den batetara cein baita Iacob-ec bere seme Iosephi eman ceraucan possessionearen aldean.
and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Eta cen han Iacob-en ithurria: Iesus bada bidean vnhatua berehala iar cedin ithur bazterrean: ecen bacén sey orenén inguruä.
Jacob’s Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about mid-day.
7 Ethor cedin emazte Samaritanabat vr idoquitera: erran cieçón hari Iesusec, Indan edatera.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her — “Give me some to drink,”
8 Ecen haren discipuluac ioan içan ciraden hirira iateco erostera.
For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food.
9 Diotsa bada hari emazte Samaritana hunec, Nola hi Iudu aicelaric, edatera niri esquez aut, bainaiz emazte Samaritana? ecen eztié conuersationeric Iuduéc Samaritanoequin.
“How is it,” replied the Samaritan woman, “that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).
10 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran cieçon, Baldin bahaqui Iaincoaren dohaina, eta nor den hiri erraiten draunana, Indan edatera, hi escatu inçayqueon hari, eta eman baitzerauquenán vr vicitic.
“If you knew of the gift of God,” replied Jesus, “and who it is that is saying to you ‘Give me some water,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you ‘living water’.”
11 Diotsa emazteac, Iauna, eztuc cerçaz idoqui deçán, eta putzua duc barna: nondic duc beraz vr vici hori?
“You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep,” she said; “where did you get that ‘living water?’
12 Ala gure aita Iacob baino handiago aiz hi, ceinec eman baitraucu putzu haur, eta berac hunetaric edan baitu, eta haren haourréc, eta haren abréc?
Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!”
13 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran cieçon, Vr hunetaric edaten duen gucia egarrituren dun berriz:
“All who drink of this water,” replied Jesus, “will be thirsty again;
15 Diotsa emazteac, Iauna, indac vr horretaric, egarri eznadin, eta ethor eznadin huna idoquitera.
“Give me this water, Sir,” said the woman, “so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water.”
16 Diotsa Iesusec, Habil dei eçan eure senharra, eta athor huna.
“Go and call your husband,” said Jesus, “and then come back.”
17 Ihardets ceçan emazteac eta erran cieçón, Eztiát senharric. Diotsa Iesusec, Vngui erran dun, Eztiát senharric.
“I have no husband,” answered the woman. “You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’” replied Jesus,
18 Ecen borz senhar vkan ditun, eta orain dunana, eztun hire senhar: hori eguiaz erran dun.
“For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.”
19 Diotsa emazteac, Iauna, badiacussát ecen Propheta aicela hi.
“I see, Sir, that you are a Prophet!” exclaimed the woman.
20 Gure aitéc mendi hunetan adoratu vkan dié: eta çuec dioçue ecen Ierusalemen dela lekua non adoratu behar baita.
“It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshiped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 Diotsa Iesusec, Emazteá, sinhets neçan ni, ecen ethorten dela orena noiz ezpaituçue mendi hunetan ez Ierusalemen adoraturen Aita.
“Believe me,” replied Jesus, “a time is coming when it will be neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you will worship the Father.
22 Çuec adoratzen duçue eztaquiçuena, guc adoratzen dinagu daquiguna: ecen saluamendua Iuduetaric dun.
You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, for Salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Baina ethorten dun orena, eta orain dun, noiz adoraçale eguiazcoéc adoraturen baitute Aita spirituz eta eguiaz: ecen Aita-ere halaco adoraçalén galdez diagon.
But a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father spiritually and truly; for such are the worshipers that the Father desires.
24 Iaincoa dun Spiritu: eta hura adoratzen dutenéc, spirituz eta eguiaz adoratu behar diné.
God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly.”
25 Diotsa emazteac, Baceaquiat ecen Messiasa ethorteco dela, Christ deitzen dena, harc dathorrenean declaraturen dirauzquiguc gauça guciac.
“I know,” answered the woman, “that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything.”
26 Diotsa Iesusec, Ni naun hura, hirequin minço naicena.
“I am he,” Jesus said to her, “I who am speaking to you.”
27 Eta bizquitartean ethor citecen haren discipuluac, eta mirets ceçaten nola emazte batequin minço cen: badaric-ere nehorc etzieçón erran, Ceren galdez ago? edo, Cer minço aiz horrequin?
At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked ‘What do you want?’ or ‘Why are you talking with her?’
28 Vtzi ceçan bada bere vncia emazteac, eta ioan cedin hirira, eta erran ciecén leku hartaco gendey.
So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people:
29 Çatozte, ikussaçue guiçon-bat ceinec erran baitrauzquit eguin ditudan gauça guciac: ezta haur Christ?
“Come and see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?”
30 Ilki citecen bada hiritic, eta ethor citecen harengana.
And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.
31 Eta bizquitartean othoitz eguiten ceraucaten discipuluéc, cioitela, Magistrua, ian eçac.
Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him: “Take something to eat, Rabbi.”
32 Baina harc erran ciecén, Nic viandabat dut iateco, çuec eztaquiçuenic.
“I have food to eat,” he answered, “of which you know nothing.”
33 Erraiten çuten bada discipuluéc elkarren artean, Nehorc ekarri othe drauca iatera?
“Can any one have brought him anything to eat?” the disciples said to one another.
34 Dioste Iesusec, Ene viandá da eguin deçadan ni igorri nauenaren vorondatea, eta acaba deçadan haren obrá.
“My food,” replied Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 Eztuçue çuec erraiten, Oraino laur hilebethe dirade, eta vztá ethorriren da? Huná, erraiten drauçuet, goititzaçue çuen beguiac, miraitzaçue bazterrac, ecen ia churitu dirade vztaren biltzeco.
Do not you say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are for harvest!
36 Eta vztá biltzen duenac, sari recebitzen du, eta biltzen du fructua vicitze eternaleracotzát: ereiten duenac bozcario duençát, bayeta biltzen duenac-ere. (aiōnios g166)
Already the reaper is receiving wages and gathering in sheaves for Immortal Life, so that sower and reaper rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Ecen hunetan erran haur eguiazco da, Bat da ereiten duena, eta bercebat biltzen duena.
For here the proverb holds good — ‘One sows, another reaps.’
38 Nic igorri çaituztet nekatu etzaretenaren biltzera: berceac nekatu içan dirade, eta çuec hayén trabailluan sarthu içan çarete.
I have sent you to reap that on which you have spent no labour; others have laboured, and you have entered upon the results of their labour.”
39 Eta hiri hartaco Samaritanoetaric anhitzec sinhets ceçaten hura baithan, emazte testificatu çuenaren erranagatic, cioela, Eguin dudan gucia erran draut.
Many from that town came to believe in Jesus — Samaritans though they were — on account of the woman’s statement — ‘He has told me everything that I have done.’
40 Ethorri ciradenean bada Samaritanoac, othoitz eguin cieçoten hequin egon ledin: eta egon cedin han bi egun.
And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
41 Eta anhitzez guehiagoc sinhets ceçaten beraren hitzagatic.
But far more came to believe in him on account of what he said himself,
42 Eta emazteari erraiten ceraucaten, Eztinagu goitiric hire erranagatic sinhesten: ecen gueuroc ençun dinagu, eta baceaquinagu ecen haur dela eguiazqui Christ munduaren Saluadorea.
and they said to the woman: “It is no longer because of what you say that we believe in him, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he really is the Saviour of the world.”
43 Eta bi egunen buruän parti cedin handic, eta ioan cedin Galilearát.
After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;
44 Ecen Iesusec berac testifica ceçan, ecen Propheta batec bere herrian ohoreric eztuela.
for he himself declared that ‘a Prophet is not honoured in his own country.’
45 Bada ethorri içan cenean Galileara, recebi ceçaten Galileanoec, bestán Ierusalemen eguin cituen gauça guciac ikussiric: ecen hec-ere ethorri içan ciraden bestara.
When he entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the Festival, at which they also had been present.
46 Ethor cedin bada Iesus berriz Cana Galileaco hirira, non eguin vkan baitzuen vra mahatsarno. Eta cen gorte iaun-bat, ceinen semea baitzén eri Capernaumen.
So Jesus came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was one of the King’s officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.
47 Haur, encunic ecen Iesus ethorri cela Iudeatic Galileara, ioan cedin harengana, eta othoitz eguin cieçon iauts ledin, eta senda lieçón bere semea: ecen hiltzera cioan.
When this man heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Erran cieçón orduan Iesusec, Signoac eta miraculuac ikus ezpaditzaçue, ezteçaqueçue sinhets.
Jesus answered: “Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 Diotsa gorte iaun harc, Iauna, iautsi adi ene semea hil dadin baino lehen.
“Sir,” said the officer, “come down before my child dies.” And Jesus answered: “Go, your son is living.”
50 Diotsa Iesusec, Habil: hire semea vici duc. Eta sinhets ceçan guiçonac Iesusec erran ceraucan hitza eta ioan cedin.
The man believed what Jesus said to him, and went;
51 Eta ia hura iausten cela bere cerbitzariac bat cequizquion, eta conta cieçoten, cioitela, Hire semea vici duc.
and, while he was on his way down, his servants met him, and told him that his child was living.
52 Orduan galdeguin ciecén, cer orenez hobequi eriden içan cen: eta erran cieçoten, Atzo çazpi orenetan vtzi cian helgaitzac.
So he asked them at what time the boy began to get better. “It was yesterday, about one o’clock,” they said, “that the fever left him.”
53 Eçagut ceçan bada aitác ecen oren hartan cela Iesusec erran ceraucana, Hire semea vici duc. Eta sinhets ceçan berac, eta haren etche guciac.
By this the father knew that it was at the very time when Jesus had said to him ‘Your son is living’; and he himself, with all his household, believed in Jesus.
54 Bigarren signo haur berriz eguin ceçan Iesusec ethorri içan cenean Iudeatic Galileara.
This was the second occasion on which Jesus gave a sign of his mission on coming from Judea to Galilee.
