John 4
1 Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
Lino aVafalisayi vakapulika imhola sa Yesu kuuti ikwofugha na kuuva na vavulanisivua vinga kukila uYohana umwofughi,
2 though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
(neke uYesu jujuo naakava ikwofugha, looli avavulanisivua vaake ve vano valyale vikwofugha),
3 He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
UYesu ye akagwile kuuti imhola saake sipulikiike, akavuuka mukighavo ikya Yudea akagomoka ku kighavo ikya Galilaya.
4 His road lay through Samaria,
Ye vigomoka ku Samalia lukavoneka kuuti kwevule uvufumbue uvwa kukilila mu kighavo ikya Samalia, pe vakakilila isila ijio.
5 and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Pe vakafika mu likaaja ilya Sikali lino lyale mukighavo ikya Samalia, ilikaaja ilio lilyale piipi nu mughunda ghuno u Yakobo alyampeliile umwanake u Yosefu.
6 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.
Apuo pwekilyale ikitiimu kya Yakobo. UYesu akikala palubale pa kitiimu ikio kuuti apuume, ulwakuva alyakatiile nu lughendo. Unsiki ughuo ghwale ghwa kavalilo aka ntanda pamwisi.
7 Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
Pe akiisa umukijuuva jumomonga uNsamalia kunegha amalenga pa kitimu kila, uYesu akam'buula akati, “Nisuuma amalenga ninyue.”
8 for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
Ulwakuva avavulanisivu vaake vakava valutile kughula ikyakulia.
9 "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.)
Umukijuuva jula uNsamalia akamwamula akati, “Uve uli Muyahudi, une nilinsamalia, lwandaani ghusuuma amalenga kulyune?” Alyajovile enendiki ulwakuva aVayahudi navalyale nu vuhangilanisi na Vasamalia.
10 "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."
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Ghwale ukagulaghe sino uNguluve ilonda kukukupeela na kuuti nene veeni ne juno nikukusuuma amalenga, ngale usumile une, une naale nikukupeela amalenga ghano ghikuvapeela avaanhu uvwumi.”
11 "Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
Umukijuuva jula akamwamula uYesu akati, “Ghwe Ntwa uve nuli ni ndoovo ija kuneghela, kyope ikitiimu kitali. Lino ukughaagha kuughi amalenga gha vwumi?
12 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?"
Unkuulu ghwitu uYakobo alyatupeliile ikitiimu iki, umwene na vanaake vanywile amalenga agha kitiimu ulim'baha kukila uYakovo?”
13 "Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Umuunhu ghweni juno inyua amalenga agha kitimu iki, ikwumilua kange,
15 "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."
Pe umukijuuva jula akansuuma uYesu akati, “Ghwe Ntwa, umeele amalenga aghuo, nileke pikwumilua, kange nileke pikwisa apa kunegha amalenga.”
16 "Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
UYesu akambuula akati, “Lutagha, unkemeele umughosi ghwako, ghwise naghwo apa.”
17 "I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
Umukijuuva jula akamwamula akati, “Une nili nsila mughosi.” UYesu akambuula akati, “Ujovile seseene kuuti, 'ulinsila mughosi,'
18 "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."
Ulwakuva ulyatolilue na vaghosi vahano, ghwope juno ghukukala naghwo lino, naghwako. Mu ulu ujovile isa kyang'haani!”
19 "Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
Umukijuuva jula akamwamula akati, “Ghwe Ntwa, nivona uve uli m'bili.
20 Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
Avakuulu viitu valyale vikumwimika uNguluve pa kidunda iki, neke umue mwiti ku Yelusalemu kwe kuno kunoghiile kukumwimika uNguluve.”
21 "Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
UYesu akam'buula akati, “Ghwe mukijuva uve, ghwitikaghe sino nijova, ghukwisa unsiki ghuno namukumwimikagha uNguluve uNaata pa kidunda iki nambe ku Yelusalemu.
22 You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
Umue mu kumwimika uNguluve juno namunkagwile, neke usue tukumwimika uNguluve juno tunkagwile, ulwakuva uNguluve ikuvapokea avaanhu kukilila ku Vayahudi.”
23 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.
Lino unsiki ghukwisa, kange ghufikile, pano avaanhu vano vikumwitika uNguluve uNhaata mu vwakyanghaani, vikumwimikagha mutwa kulongosivua nu mhepo ghwake na vule vulungika uvwakyang'haani vwake.
24 God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
UNguluve ghwe mhepo, avaanhu vano vikumwimika umwene, vanoghiile kukumwimika mu ngufu isa mhepo ghwake na mu vwakyang'haani.”
25 "I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."
Umulijuuva jula akamwamula akati, “Nikagwile kuuti uMesiya, (juno ghwe Kilisite). Ikwisa iliva isile, ujuo ilikutuvuula sooni.
26 "I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
UYesu akam'buula akati, “Une ne juno nijova nuuve, neene Mesiya.”
27 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?"
Unsiki ughuo avavulanisivua vaake vakagomoka, vakadegha kyongo kuvona uYesu ijova nu mukijuuva, neke nakwealyale juno alyaghelile kukumposia kuuti, “Ghulonda kiki?” nambe kuuti “Kiki ghujova naghwo?”
28 The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
Umukijuuva jula akaluleka pala pala ulusaaji lwake ulwa malenga akaluta kukikaaja, akavavuula, avanu akati,
29 "Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
“Mwise mulole umuunhu juno ambulile sooni sino nivombile. Asi umuunhu ujuo ndepoonu iiva ghwe Kilisite?”
30 They left the town and set out to go to Him.
Avaanu yepulike isio vakaluta kuno kwale uYesu.
31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
Unsiki ughwa pamwisi avavulanisivua vaake vakam'buula uYesu vakati, “Ghwe m'bulanisi ulie ikyakulia.”
32 "I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
Umwene akavavuula akati, “Une nili ni kyakulia kino umue namukikagwile.”
33 So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
Avavulanisivua vaake vakatengula kuposania viiti, 'Asi, kuli muunhu isile vwa Nhaata, juno kukumuletela ikyakulia?”
34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
UYesu akavamula akati, “Ikyakulia kyango une, kwe kuvomba isa vughane vwa Nhaata juno asung'hulile nimale imbombo jaake.
35 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.
Asi, namwamujova kuuti, “Gasighile ameesi ghahaano kupeta?” Neke une nikuvavuula niiti, lola amaghunda vule ghalivuo pano lukwiline kupeta!
36 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)
Ghwope juno ipeta ikwupila uluhombo lwake, umpeto ve vaanhu vano vikwupila uvwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila, apuo juno ivyala na juno ipeta vooni vivisagha nu lukeelo palikimo. (aiōnios g166)
37 For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
Kwelule ulujovo luno luuti, 'Jumonga ivyala ujunge ipeta ulujovo uluo lwa kyang'haani.'
38 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."
Une nivasunghile umue kupeta fino namuhangajikile, Avange vakavombile imbombo inalamu, umue mupeta vwimila imbombo jaave.”
39 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."
AVasamalia vinga ava mulikaaja lila ilya sikali vakamwitika uYesu ulwakuva valyapuliike sino alyajovile umukijuuva jula kuuti, “Umuunhu ujuo ambulile sooni sino nivombile.”
40 When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
Pe aVasamalia vala vakafika pano pwale uYesu vakampelepesia kuuti ikale palikimo na veene, pe akikala mu likaaja ilio ifighono fivili.
41 Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
Avaanhu vinga fiijo vakamwitika uYesu vwimila ilisio lyake.
42 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."
Vakam'buula umukijuva jula vakati, “Lino nakwekuti tumwitiike umuunhu uju vwimila si sino utuvulile uve, looli tumwitike ulwakuva tupulike sino ajovile, kange tukagwile kuuti kyang'haani umuunhu uju ghwe mpoki ghwa vaanhu vooni.”
43 After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
Ifighono fivili ye fikilile, akavuuka kiluta ku Galilaya.
44 though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
UYesu alyoliike kuuti um'bili naikwoghopua na vaanhu ava mu kikaaja kyake.
45 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.
Avaanhu ava ku Galilaya valyamwupiile uYesu, ulwakuva valyasivwene sooni sino alyavombile ku kyimike ikya Pasaka ku Yelusalemu, kukyimike ukuo voope kwevalyale.
46 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.
UYesu akaluta kange ku kikaaja ikya Kana mu kighavo ikya Galilaya. Kukikaaja ikio kwe kuno alyahambwisie amalenga kuuva luhuuje kwe alyale umulongosi jumonga ughwa selikali ku Kapelnaumu, umulongosi ujuo umwanaake alyale ntamu.
47 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.
Ye apulike kuuti uYesu isile kange ku Galilaya kuhuma ku Yudea akaluta kukumpelepesia uYesu kuuti alute ku Kapelenaumu, ansosi umwanaake ulwakuva umwanaake ujuo ghulyale ghukova.
48 "Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
UYesu akamwamula akati, “Umue namunganyitike kisila kufyagha ifivalilo ni fidegho.
49 "Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
Umulongosi jula akamwamula akati, “Ghwe Mutwa nikukusuuma luvuke unsosie umwanango pano akyale pifua.”
50 "You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
UYesu akam'buula akati, “Vujagha, umwanaako asokile.” Akitika amasio gha Yesu akavuuka ivuja.
51 and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
Umulongosi jula ye ali mu sila ivuja, akatang'hana na vavombi vaake vakambuula vakati umwanaako asokile nkafu.
52 So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
Pe akavaposia akati. Asokile unsiki ghuliku, “Aveene vakamwamula vakati, asooka pamihe pamwisi akavalilo aka lekela lubale.”
53 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.
Uviise ghwa mwana jula akakagula kuuti asooka unsiki ghula ghuno uYesu ajova kuuti, “Umwanaako asookile.” Pe umwene palikimo na vaanhu vooni ava munyumba jaake vakamwitika uYesu.
54 This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
Ikidegho ikio kyale kivalilo kya vuvili kino alyavombile uYesu ku Galilaya ye ahumile ku Yudea.
