John 4
1 Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Ashimapalishayo gubhapilikenenje kuti a Yeshu bhanapata na bhatisha bhaajiganywa bhabhagwinji kupunda a Yowana.
2 (Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),
Ikabheje a Yeshu bhayene bhangabhatisha mundu ikabhe bhabhatishangaga bhaajiganywa bhabho.
3 he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.
Bhai, a Yeshu bhakagamanyeje genego, gubhajabhwile ku Yudea kubhuja ku Galilaya,
4 He had to pass through Samaria,
gwene mwanjago bhashinkupinjikwa bhapite ja ku Shamalia.
5 and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Bhai, gubhaishe ku Shikali shilambo shimo sha ku Shamalia, tome na nngunda gwa a Yoshepu gubhapegwilwe na ainabhabho a Yakobho bhukala.
6 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.
Penepo lishinkupagwa liiko lya a Yakobho, puyaliji malanga ga shaa shita ja mui, pabha a Yeshu bhashinkutotoshela ga mwanja gula, gubhatemi panyenje liiko.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her — “Give me some to drink,”
Bhai, gubhaishe bhakongwe bhamo bha Shishamalia kuuteka mashi. A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “None mashi gang'wa.”
8 For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food.
Gene malangago bhaajiganywa bhabho kubhapitengenenje kunjini kuuma shalya.
9 “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).
Bhakongwe bhala gubhaabhalanjile a Yeshu, “Mmwe Mmayaudi na nne Bhakongwe Bhashamalia! Nkukombola bhuli kunyuga mashi gang'wa?” Bhashinkubheleketa nneyo pabha Bhayaudi na Bhashamalia bhakaanganilana.
10 “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’.”
A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Nkashimanyi shibhapinga kumpa a Nnungu, numbe gani akummalanjila, none mashi ga ng'wa, nkannjujile jwenejo akampele mashi gataga gumi.”
11 “You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep,” she said; “where did you get that ‘living water?’
Bhakongwe bhala gubhashite, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe mwangali nngabho na liikoli lishitaliya, kumpatile kwei mashi gataga gumigo?
12 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!”
Igala mmwe mmakulungwa kupunda ambuje a Yakobho? Bhenebho ni bhatupele uwe lyene liikoli, bhayene na ashibhana bhabho na bhannyama bhabho bhang'welenje mashi ga lyene liikoli.”
13 “All who drink of this water,” replied Jesus, “will be thirsty again;
A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Jojowe shang'we mashi ga lyene liikoli shakole njota kabhili.
15 “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.”
Bhakongwe bhala gubhaalugulile, “Mmakulungwa, none mashigo ngunakole njota kabhili, ngunaishe kabhili apano kuteka mashi.”
16 “Go and call your husband,” said Jesus, “and then come back.”
A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Nnjende nkaasheme ambujebhenu, nng'ishe nabho apano.”
17 “I have no husband,” answered the woman. “You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’” replied Jesus,
Bhakongwe bhala gubhajangwile, “Nangali ambujebhangu.” A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Ntashiye ukoto, kuti mwangali ambujebhenu.
18 “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.”
Pabha mwalombilwe paano na bhunkutama nabho nnainobho nngabha ambuje bhenu bha alali. Penepo guntashiyega ga kweli.”
19 “I see, Sir, that you are a Prophet!” exclaimed the woman.
Bhakongwe bhala gubhaabhalanjile, “Mmakulungwa, nne pungubhona kuti mmwe ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
20 “It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshiped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.”
Bhanangulungwa bhetu bha Shishamaliya pubhaajujilangaga a Nnungu pa ashi shitumbishi, ikabheje Mmayaudi mmwe nkutinji ku Yelushalemu kula nikutupinjikwa kujujila Nnungu.”
21 “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.
A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “awile, nngulupalile nne, mobha ganakwiya nkaajuganga Atati pa shene shitumbishi, wala ku Yelushalemu kula.
22 You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, for Salvation comes from the Jews.
Mmanganyanji Bhashamaliya nkakwaammanyanga bhunkwaajuganga, ikabheje Tubhayaudi uwe twaamanyi bhutukwaajuga, pabha ntapulo gwa a Nnungu shuguishe kupitila ku Bhayaudi.
23 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.
Ikabheje malanga shigaishe, numbe gaishe, gatenda bhakwaatindibhalilanga bha kweli, shibhaatindibhalilanje Atati kwa mashili gaka Mbumu na kwa kweli. Pabha Atati bhanakwaapinganga bhandunji bhaajuganga shana nneyo.
24 God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly.”
A Nnungu ni Mbumu, na bhandu bhakwajuganga bhenebho, bhanapinjikwanga bhaajuganje kwa komboywa naka Mbumu na kweli.”
25 “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.”
Bhakongwe bhala gubhaalugulile, “Nimumanyi kuti bhanakwiya bhaagwilwe na a Nnungu bhaashemwa a Kilishitu Bhaatapula. Bhenebho bhaikaga, shibhatubhalanjile indu yowe.”
26 “I am he,” Jesus said to her, “I who am speaking to you.”
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Nne ngukunguluka na mmwe ni bhayene.”
27 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?’
Penepo bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhabhujilengenenje, gubhakanganigwenje ga kwaakongana a Yeshu bhalikunguluka na bhakongwe. Ikabheje jwakwa abhabhushiye, “Nkupinga nndi?” Eu, “Kwa nndi nnakunguluka na bhakongwe?”
28 So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people:
Bhene bhakongwebho gubhaleshile lulo lwabho popo gubhapite kunjini nikwabhalanjilanga bhandunji,
29 “Come and see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?”
“Twendangane nkaalolanje bhandu bhamalanjile indu yangu yowe indendile! Bhuli, nngatendeka bhenebho kubha a Kilishitu Bhaagombola?”
30 And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.
Bhai bhandunji kukopoka kunjini kula gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu.
31 Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him: “Take something to eat, Rabbi.”
Gene malanga pego bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaashondelesheyenje a Yeshu bhalinkutinji, “Shonde Mmaajiganya, nnye shalya.”
32 “I have food to eat,” he answered, “of which you know nothing.”
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Nne ngwete shalya shinkakushimanyanga.”
33 “Can any one have brought him anything to eat?” the disciples said to one another.
Bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhabhuyenenje, “Apali mundu abhapele shalya?”
34 “My food,” replied Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work.
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Shalya shangu ni kutenda ibhapinga bhandumile bhala na maliya liengo lyabho.
35 Do not you say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are for harvest!
Mmanganyanji nkabheleketanga kuti, ‘Jiigele miei nsheshepe, gaishe mobha ga neng'ena?’ Ikabheje nne nguti, nnolanje bhandunjibha, ni malinga yalya mmigunda, iishile pa una.
36 Already the reaper is receiving wages and gathering in sheaves for Immortal Life, so that sower and reaper rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Nkuuna analipwa, na analopolela mauno pamo nkupinga gabhe na gumi gwa pitipiti, nkupinga nkupanda na nkuuna bhowe bhainonyelanje. (aiōnios g166)
37 For here the proverb holds good — ‘One sows, another reaps.’
Kwa nneyo ashi shibheleketo sha kuti, ‘Jumo anapanda na juna anauna.’ Ni sha kweli.
38 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.”
Nne njikunntumanga nkaunanje mauno gunkanakamulilanga liengo lya lima, bhakamwilenje liengo likulungwa bhananji, ikabheje inkwiipatanga mmanganyanji, ni kwa ligongo lya liengo lyabhonji.”
39 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.’
Bhashamalia bhabhagwinji bha shene shilambo shila gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu kwa ligongo lya malobhe gubhabhelekete bhakongwe bhala kuti, “Bhashinugulila indu yowe indendile.”
40 And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
Bhashamalia gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu nikwashondelesheya bhatame nabhonji, gubhatemi kweneko mobha gabhili.
41 But far more came to believe in him on account of what he said himself,
Bhandu bhabhagwinji kaje gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu kwa ligongo lya malobhe gabho.
42 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.”
Gubhaalugulilenje bhakongwe bhala, “Nnaino uwe tunakulupalila nngabha kwa ligongo lya malobhe genupe, ikabheje tupilikene twaashayene na tumumanyi kuti bhenebha bhapinga tapula shilambolyo.”
43 After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;
Gakapiteje mobha gabhili a Yeshu gubhajabhwile kweneko, gubhapite ku Galilaya.
44 for he himself declared that ‘a Prophet is not honoured in his own country.’
Pabha bhayene bhalugwile gwangali nng'iyo kuti, “Nkulondola jwa a Nnungu akaishimika pa shilambo shakwe.”
45 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.
Bhai bhakaisheje ku Galilaya, Bhagalilaya bhabhagwinji gubhaaposhelenje. Pabha pubhapitengenenje ku Yelushalemu kushikukuu sha Pashaka, kweneko bhagabhweninji gowe gubhatendile a Yeshu.
46 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.
A Yeshu gubhaishe kabhili kushilambo sha ku Kana kunkowa gwa ku Galilaya, kubhatendile mashi kubha divai. Ku Kapalanaumu bhashinkupagwa bhakulungwa bhamo bha manjola bhakwete mwana nwele ku Kapelenaumu.
47 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.
Bhai, bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala bhakapilikaneje a Yeshu bhashiika ku Galilaya kukoposhela ku Yudea, gubhaajendele nikwaajuga bhajende ku Kapalanaumu bhakannamye mwana gwabho aliji nnwele jwa nnumbangu.
48 Jesus answered: “Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Nkaibhonanje ilangulo na ilapo nkakulupalilanga!”
49 “Sir,” said the officer, “come down before my child dies.” And Jesus answered: “Go, your son is living.”
Bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala a gubhaalugulile a Yeshu, “Mmakulungwa, shonde twende mwanangu akanabhewa.”
50 The man believed what Jesus said to him, and went;
A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Njende, mwana gwenu alamile.” Bhandu bhala gubhakulupalile malobhe ga a Yeshu, gubhajabhwile.
51 and, while he was on his way down, his servants met him, and told him that his child was living.
Bhali mumpanda gwa kwenda kungwabho, gubhaimikene na bhatumishi bhabho, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmakulungwa, mwanagwenu alamile”.
52 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.”
Na bhalabho gubhabhushiyenje, “Malanga gani mwana palamile” Gubhaalugulilenje, “Liyo shaa shaba ja mui, shilwele pushinneshile.”
53 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.
Ainamundu bhala gubhakumbushile kuti pugaliji malanga gogo pego pubhalugulilwe na a Yeshu kuti, “Mwana gwenu alamile.” Penepo bhenebho na ashaalongo ajabho bhowe gubhaakulupalilenje.
54 This was the second occasion on which Jesus gave a sign of his mission on coming from Judea to Galilee.
Sheneshi pushaliji shilangulo sha bhili shibhatendile a Yeshu bhalibhuja ku Yudea kwenda ku Galilaya.
