John 4
1 Pakai chun John sangin seijui tamjo asem'in miho Baptize achansah jinge ti Pharisee hon ajatauve ti chu Yeshuan ahetan ahi.
Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard, “Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John”
2 Hichun Yeshua amatah in baptize achansah lou vang'in, aseijuiten abol'u ahi.
(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),
3 Hijeh chun aman Judea gam adalhan Galilee gam'a akile tai.
He left Judea and went away into Galilee.
4 Aman alampi'a chun Samaria gamsung ajotpa in;
Now He needed to go through Samaria;
5 Chutichun Samaria mite khokhat Sychar mun chu ahung lhungtai; hiche mun chu Jacob in achapa Joseph ana peh loumun kom ahi.
so He comes to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Chukom'a chu Jacob twikul um'ah ahi, Yeshua chu lamsao ajotna'ah acholtan, twikul panga chun leltah in atouvin ahi; Hichu sunkim dontah ahi.
Now Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, being worn out from the journey, sat as He was by the well. It was about 6 p.m.
7 Hichun Samaria numei khat twithal dingin ahungin, Yeshuan amanu jah'a “Twi donding neipeh thei ding ham?” ati.
A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, “Give me a drink.”
8 Hichepet a chu Yeshua achangseh'a bou um ahi, ajehchu aseijuite khosunga anneh ding cho'a achedoh kah'u ahi.
(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 Numeinu chu atija lheh e, ajehchu Judah hon Samaria miho chu athet uva imacha akikoppi ngailou'u ahi; hijehchun amanun Yeshua jah'a “Nangla Judah mi nahin, keila Samaria numei kahin, ipi dinga keikom'a donding twi nathum ham?” ati.
So the Samaritan woman says to Him, “How can you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” (for Jews do not associate with Samaritans).
10 Yeshuan adonbut'in amanu jah'a “Pathen thilpeh nachan ding hi henlang, chule naki houpi hi koi ahi hele chun nangin keikom'a nathum joh ding, chule keiman nangma hintwi pedinga,” ati.
Jesus answered and said to her: “If you knew the gift of God, and who is the one saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11 Chuin amanun ajah'a, “Pu nangman athaldoh nading khao le bel jong neilouva, twikul jong athuh in, hintwi nati chu hoiya nalah ding ham?
The woman says to Him: “Sir, you don't even have a bucket, and the well is deep; so where do you get this living water?
12 Chukit jongleh hiche twikul eina peuva kapului'u Jacob sang'a nangma chung nungjo nahim? Amatah in anadon'a achate leh agancha ho anadonsah'a hiche twi sanga phajo hoiya nalah ding ham?” ati.
You aren't greater than our father Jacob, are you? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
13 Yeshuan adonbut'in ajah'a, “Koi hileh hiche twi don'a chu dangchah kit ding ahi.
Jesus answered and said to her: “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
15 Chuin numeinun ajah'a “Pu lungset in hiche twi chu kei neipen, chuteng avel'a kadang chah kitlou na ding, chuleh hilai mun'a twithal'a kahungkit lou nadingin,” ati.
The woman says to Him, “Sir, give me this water! so that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
16 Chuin Yeshuan amanu jah'a, “Chenlang najipa gakouvin,” ati.
Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.”
17 Amanun adonbut'in, “Keiman ji kaneipoi,” ati, hichun Yeshuan ajah'a, “Nasei dih'e, nangman ji kicheh naneipoi,” ati.
The woman answered and said, “I don't have a husband.” Jesus says to her: “You stated correctly that you do not have a husband,
18 “Nangman ji ngatah naneitan chule tua naum khompi pa jong khu naji tah ahipoi, nasei dih lheh jenge,” ati.
because you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is no husband of yours. You spoke the truth there!”
19 Chuin numeinun ajah'a, “Pu nangma themgao khat nahi.
The woman says to Him: “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Ahile neisei peh in ipi dinga keiho Samaria mihon, kapuluiteu bolbanga hiche Gerizim mol'a Pathen kahou'uva, ahivanga nangho Judah mihon Pathen houna ding mun chu Jerusalem bou ahi, natiu ham?” ati.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, while you (pl) say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Numei neitahsan in nanghon Pathen nahou na dingu mun chu hiche mol'a jong hilou, chuleh Jerusalem'a jong hilou, phat chu ahung lhung e.”
Jesus says to her: “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 Nangho Samaria mihon nahet chen lou u nahouvun, ahivangin keiho Judah mihon vang kahou'u ama chu kahet chen'u ahi; ajehchu huhhingna chu Judahte a kona hung ahibouve.
You [Samaritans] worship what you do not know; we [Jews] worship what we do know, because the salvation is from the Jews.
23 Ahivangin phat chu ahung lhunge, tutah hi ahi, ahou tahbeh hon Pachu Lhagao leh thutah'a ahouding phat; ajeh chu Pa chun chutobanga houho bou chu ama hou dinga ahol ahi.
But the time is coming, in fact now is, when the genuine worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Really, because the Father is looking for such people to worship Him.
24 Ajehchu “Pathen chu lhagao ahin, ahouten lhagao leh thutah'a ahou ding mong ahi” ati.
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 Chuin numeinun ajah'a, “Keiman Messiah hung ding chu kahenai, ama chu Christa ahi. Ama chu ahung tengleh aman ijakai eihil dingu ahi,” ati.
The woman says to Him: “I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ). When He comes He will explain everything to us.”
26 Chuin Yeshuan amanu jah'a, “Keima Christa chu kahi,” ati.
Jesus says to her, “I am He, the one who is talking with you!”
27 Hiche pettah chun, aseijuite ahung kiletauve, amahon Yeshua leh numeinu kihou chu amu'uvin, atija lheh jengun ahi, ahivangin koiman ajah'a, “Amanu henga ipi nathum ham?” ahilouleh, “Ipi dinga amanu naki houpi ham?” tia dong ngam aum pouve.
At that point His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman; yet no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
28 Hichun numeinu chun a twibel chu twikul panga adalhan khosung lam'a alelhai kit'in miho jouse henga;
So the woman left her water jar, went her way into the town, and says to the men:
29 “Hungun mikhat hungveu vin, aman kathilbol leh kachon na jouse aseidoh soh keiye, Ama hi Christa hitei yinte,” ati.
“Come see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”
30 Chuin khosunga kon chun mipi tamtah ahung potdoh'un ama chu ahung veuvin ahi.
So out they went from the town and started toward Him.
31 Hichepet chun aseijuiten Yeshua heng'ah, “Rabbi an themkhat beh nen,” atiuve.
Now in the meantime the disciples were urging Him saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Ahivangin Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Keiman nangho het phahlou anneh kaneiye,” ati.
But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
33 Hichun aseijuite amaho akidong touvin, “Eiho chedoh kah'a mikhat touvin anneh ding ahin choipeh khat ham?” atiuve.
So the disciples started saying to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”
34 Chuin Yeshuan ahilchen in ajah'uva, “Eisolpa Pathen lunggot lam bol leh akin subulhit chu keima anneh ahi,” ati.
Jesus says to them: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to complete His work.
35 “Nanghon changphu'a pat chang at khom na ding lha li alut'e natiuvin ahi, ahivangin keiman najah uva kasei ahi, khodah uvin loujao khu veuvin, chang amin in a-atphat val ahitai.
Do you not say, ‘There are four months before the harvest comes?’ Well I say, Look! Lift your eyes and observe the fields; they are white for harvest already!
36 Chang-at chun atha man akisanji mong ahi, chule a-atkhom lousoh ga chu miho tonsot hinna'a apuilut chu ahi; chutia chu aphut pa le a atpa anilhon'a kipahkhom jiahi. (aiōnios g166)
Now he who reaps receives pay and gathers fruit into eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Akisei ji bang chun, ‘mikhat in aphut in adang khat in a-at khomji,’” kiti chu adihtah ahi.
Now the saying, ‘One is the sower and another the reaper,’ is true in this:
38 Hijeh chun keiman nangho, na phulou nauva a-atkhom dinga kasol nahiuve; midang in atoh gimnasa chu nanghon aga nakhop tup'u ahi. Samaria Mihon Yeshua Atahsan'u
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labors.”
39 Numeinu chun, “Kathilbol leh kachon na jouse eisei doh peh'e,” tia ahet tohsah'a kon chun, chuche kho'a Samaria mi tamtah'in Yeshua chu atahsan tauve.
Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed into Him because of the word of the woman, testifying that “He told me everything I ever did!”
40 Chuin amaho Yeshua henga ahung'un, akom'uva umden dingin a ngeh'un ahi, chuin Yeshua chukom'a chun nikho ni achongden tan ahi;
So when the Samaritans came to Him they urged Him to stay with them; and He did stay there two days.
41 Chua aumsung chun mi tamtah'in athusei ajah'uva kon chun ama chu atahsan tauve.
Many more believed through His own word,
42 Chuin amahon numeinu jah'a, “Nangma thu hettohsah jengseh hilouvin, keiho tah in ama thusei kajauvin, tun katahsan tauve, chuleh amahi vannoi huhhing dihtah ahi kahechen tauve,” atiuvin ahi. Galilee mihon Yeshua asan u
and they kept saying to the woman, “It is not just because of what you said that we believe, because we ourselves have heard Him, and we know that this One is truly the Messiah, the Savior of the world!”
43 Chua ni ni achon jou chun, Yeshuan Galilee ajontai.
So after the two days He departed from there and went on into Galilee.
44 Yeshua amatah in themgao chu achenna agamsung'a jabol na achangpoi, tia anasei dohsa ahi.
(For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet does not have honor in his own country.)
45 Ahijeng vang chun Galilee miten ama chu ana sanguve, ajehchu amaho chu kalchuh kut laiya Jerusalem'a ana um uva, chumun'a Yeshua thilbol ho ana musoh keiyu ahi.
So when He came into Galilee the Galileans welcomed Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem, at the festival; for they too had gone to the festival.
46 Aman Galilee gamsung ajot'in twisih lengpi twi asosah na Cana kho'a chun ache kit'in ahi, chuche kho koma Capernaum kho'a chun vaipo milal khat a um'in, achapa chu ha dammo lheh jeng ahi.
So Jesus went again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. Now there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum.
47 Chuin aman Yeshua chu Judea gam'a kon'in Galilee gam'a ahunge ti ajah phat in, amatah Yeshua henga achen, Capernaum geiya ahunga achapa ahung damsah dingin ataotai, ajeh chu achapa chu athikon cha ahitai.
When this man heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
48 Yeshuan ajah'a, “Melchih na kidang hicheng hohi mulou hile chun neitahsan nadem?” ati.
So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders you will not believe!”
49 Hichun vaipopa chun, “Pakai lungset in kachapa athi masang in hungin,” tin ataotai.
The official says to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
50 Yeshuan amapa jah'a, “Na in'ah kiletan nachapa ahinge!” ati. Chuin mipa chun, Yeshua thusei chu atahsan in, a inlam ajontai.
Jesus says to him, “Go; your son lives.” Well the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and off he went.
51 Chuin mipa chu a In alhun masang in, asohten lampia ahung lamtou vin, achapa damtheng thu chu ahung seipeh uvin ahi.
Now while he was still going down his slaves met him and reported saying, “Your son lives!”
52 Hichun aman asohte jah'a, “Itih phat a chu damdoh ham?” tin adongin ahileh, amahon, “Janhi sun nidan khat dontah chun akhosih abeitai,” atiuvin ahi.
So he inquired of them the hour in which he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”
53 Chuin mipa chun hiche phat laitah chu, Yeshuan ajah'a nachapa ahinge tia aseipet tah ahi chu ahedohtan ahi; hiche jeh chun ama leh a Insung mite chengsen Yeshua atahsan tauve.
So the father knew that it was at the exact hour in which Jesus told him, “Your son lives.” Both he himself and his whole household believed.
54 Hiche hi Judea gam'a kon'a Galilee gam'a ahungna'a Yeshuan melchihna kidang abol aniveina ahitai.
Again, coming out of Judea into Galilee, Jesus performed this second miraculous sign.
