< John 4 >

1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Jo-Farisai nowinjo ni joma Yesu ne oseloko obedo jopuonjre, kendo obatiso ne ngʼeny moloyo jopuonjre Johana,
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
kata obedo ni Yesu owuon ne ok batiso ji, to jopuonjrene ema ne timo kamano.
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
Kane Ruoth owinjo wachni, noa Judea mochako odok Galili.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
To nochune ni nyaka okadh e piny Samaria.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Kuom mano, nochopo e dala moro e piny Samaria miluongo ni Sukar, mane ni machiegni gi puodho mane Jakobo omiyo Josef wuode.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Soko Jakobo ne ni kanyo, kendo Yesu ne koro ool gi wuoth, omiyo nobet piny e dir sokono. Ne en kar sa auchiel mar odiechiengʼ.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
E sechego chi Samaria moro nobiro umbo pi, mi Yesu nowachone niya, “Yie imiya pi amodhi.”
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
(Mano noyudo ka jopuonjrene osedhi Sukar mondo ongʼiew chiemo.)
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Chi Samaria-no nowachone niya, “In ja-Yahudi, an to an chi Samaria. Ere kaka ikwaya pi modho?” (Donge ingʼeyo ni jo-Yahudi ok winjre gi jo-Samaria.)
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ka dine ingʼe mich Nyasaye kendo ingʼe jal makwayi pi mondo omodhi, to dikwaye pi momiyi pi mar ngima.”
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
Dhakono nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ, ionge gi gima inyalo tuomogo pi, kendo sokoni bende tut. Pi ngimano to inyalo yud kanye?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
Iparo ni iduongʼ moloyo Jakobo kwarwa mane omiyowa sokoni, kendo nomodho pige en owuon kaachiel gi yawuote, gi jambe kod dhoge?”
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ngʼato ka ngʼato mamodho pigni riyo biro chako loye,
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
to ngʼato angʼata momodho pi mamiye ok nochak owinj riyo. Chutho, pi ma anamiye nodok soko mar pi e iye, mosiko ka bubni nyaka chop e ngima mochwere.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
Dhakono nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ, yie imiyae pigno mondo riyo kik chak loya, kendo kik asik ka achandora gi biro ka pile pile mondo aom pi.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Dhi iluong chwori eka iduogi.”
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Nodwoke niya, “Aonge gi dichwo.” Yesu nowachone niya, “In kare kuom wacho ni ionge gi dichwo.
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Adiera en ni isebedo gi chwo abich, kendo ngʼat makoro in-go sani bende ok chwori. Gima isewachono en adier.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Dhakono nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ, nenorena ni in janabi.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Kwerewa ne lemo ewi godni, to un jo-Yahudi to uwacho ka uramo ni Jerusalem ema nyaka walamie.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Nyarwa, yie koda; ndalo biro ma ok unulam Wuoro ewi godni kata ei Jerusalem.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Un jo-Samaria ulamo gima ukia, nimar warruok aa kuom jo-Yahudi.
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
Kata kamano kinde biro, kendo osechopo, ma joma lemo gadier nolam Wuoro e yo ma Roho dwaro kendo gadiera, joma lamo kamano ema Wuoro dwaro.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Nyasaye en Roho, omiyo joma lame nyaka lame e yo ma Roho dwaro kendo gadiera.”
25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
Dhakono nowacho niya, “Angʼeyo ni in Mesia” (miluongo ni Kristo) “mane onego bi kendo ka obiro, to enonyiswa tiend weche duto.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Eka Yesu nonyise ratiro niya, “An ma awuoyo kodini An e En.”
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
E sechego jopuonjrene noduogo, kendo ne giwuoro kane giyude kowuoyo gi dhako. To onge ngʼama nopenjo niya, “Angʼo midwaro kuom dhakoni?” kata niya, “Iwuoyo kode nangʼo?”
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
Eka dhakono noweyo dapige kanyo, kendo nowuok odok dala mi owachone ji niya,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
“Biuru uneye ngʼama osenyisa gik moko duto ma asetimo. Donge jalni dibed Kristo?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Joma odak e dalano duto nowuok kadhi ire.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
To e sechego jopuonjrene nosiko kajiwe niya, “Rabi, chamie gimoro.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
To nowachonegi niya, “An gi chiemo ma achamo ma ukia gimoro amora kuome.”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Eka jopuonjrene nowacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Dibed ni ngʼato osekelone chiemo?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Chiemba en timo dwach Jal mane oora kendo tieko tichne.
35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
Donge uwacho ni, ‘Odongʼ dweche angʼwen to ndalo keyo chopo’? Awachonu ni utingʼ wengeu malo urang puothe! Gisechiek giromo keyo.
36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Kata mana sani ngʼat ma keyo ichulo pokne, kendo ochoko olembe mochiek ne ngima mochwere, mondo omi jachwoyo, kaachiel gi jakeyo, obed mamor kanyakla. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
Mana kaka ngero mawacho ni, ‘Ngʼato achiel chwoyo, to ngʼato machielo keyo’ en adier.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
Ne aorou mondo uka gima ne ok utiyone. Jomoko nono osetiyo tich matek moloyo, to un useyudo konyruok kuom tichgi matek.”
39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
Jo-Samaria mangʼeny moa e dalano noyie kuom Yesu nikech neno mane dhakono otimonigi kowacho niya, “Ne onyisa gik moko duto ma asetimo.”
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Kuom mano, ka jo-Samaria nobiro ir Yesu, negisaye mondo omed bet kodgi, mi nobet kodgi kuom ndalo ariyo.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Omiyo ji mangʼeny moko bende noyie kuom Yesu nikech weche mane owachonegi.
42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
Negiwachone dhakono niya, “Koro wayie, ok nikech weche mane iwacho kende; to wasewinje gi itwa wawegi, kendo wangʼeyo gadier ni jalni en Jawar mar piny.”
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Bangʼ ndalo ariyogo, nowuok modhi Galili.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
(Mano noyudo ka Yesu owuon nosewacho ni janabi ok mi duongʼ e pinygi owuon.)
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
Kane ochopo Galili, jo-Galili norwake. Ne giseneno gik moko duto mane osetimo Jerusalem chiengʼ Sap Pasaka, nimar gin bende ne gin kuno.
46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Nochako olimo dala mar Kana, manie piny Galili, kama ne oloke pi divai. To ne nitie jatelo moro ma wuode ne tuo Kapernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
Kane ngʼatni owinjo ni Yesu osechopo Galili koa Judea, nodhi ire mosaye mondo odhi ochang wuode mane chiegni tho.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Yesu nowachone niya, “Angʼeyo ni ka ok uneno honni gi ranyisi, to ok ubi yie.”
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Jatelono nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ, yie idhi koda kapok nyathina otho.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo, wuodi dhi bedo mangima.” Ngʼatno norwako wach mane Yesu owachoneno, mi noa odhi.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
Kane oyudo pod en e yo odok dalane, jotichne noromone gi wach ni wuode koro ngima.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
Kane ononogi mondo ongʼe ni en sa mane mane wuode ochangoe, negiwachone niya, “Midhusi nyoro oweye kar sa abiriyo.”
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
Eka wuon nongʼeyo ni mano e sa nogono mane Yesu owachone niya, “Wuodi dhi bedo mangima.” Kuom mano, en kaachiel gi joode duto ne giyie kuom Yesu.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Mano e hono mar ariyo mane Yesu otimo, ka nodonjo Galili koa Judea.
