< John 4 >

1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Pou sa, lè Senyè a te konnen Farizyen yo te tande Jésus t ap batize plis disip pase Jean
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
(men Jésus Li menm pa t ap batize, men disip Li yo t ap fè l),
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
li te kite Judée epi te pati ankò pou Galilée.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
Konsa, Li te oblije pase nan Samarie.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Li te vini nan yon vil Samarie yo rele Sychar, toupre moso tè ke Jacob te bay a Joseph, fis li.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Pwi a Jacob la te la. Jésus, akoz Li te byen fatige pa vwayaj la, te chita akote pwi a. Se te anviwon sizyèm lè.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
Yon fanm Samariten te vini pou tire dlo nan pwi a. Jésus te di l: “Ban M bwè”.
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Paske disip li yo te ale nan vil la pou achte manje.
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.)
Konsa, fanm Samariten nan te reponn Li: “Kòman Ou menm, ki se yon Jwif mande M pou bwè lè mwen menm se yon fanm Samariten?” (Paske Jwif yo pa gen bon relasyon avèk Samariten yo.)
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.”
Jésus te reponn e te di l: “Si ou te konnen don Bondye a, epi ki moun ki di ou ‘Ban M bwè a’, ou t ap mande L, e Li t ap bay ou dlo vivan an.”
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?
Li te di L: “Mesye, ou pa gen anyen pou rale l, epi pwi a fon. Ki kote konsa W ap twouve dlo vivan sila a?
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?”
Èske Ou kapab pi gran pase papa zansèt nou yo Jacob, ki te bay nou pwi a, ki te bwè ladann li menm, avèk pitit li, ak bèt li yo?”
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jésus te reponn e te di li: “Tout moun ki bwè dlo sila a ap swaf ankò:
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)
Men nenpòt moun ki bwè dlo ke Mwen bay li a, p ap janm swaf. Men dlo ke Mwen bay li a ap vini nan li tankou yon pwi k ap bay dlo jiska lavi etènèl.” (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.”
Fanm nan te di Li: “Mesye, ban m dlo sa a pou m pa swaf, ni pou m pa oblije vin jis isit la pou tire l.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Li te di li: “Ale rele Mari ou, epi vin isit la.”
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Fanm nan te reponn Li e te di: “Mwen pa gen mari.” Jésus te di li: “Ou pale byen: ‘Mwen pa gen mari.’
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Paske ou te genyen senk mari, epi sila a ke ou gen koulye a se pa mari ou. Ou pale verite.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Fanm nan te reponn Li: “Mesye mwen konsidere ke Ou menm se yon pwofèt.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Papa zansèt nou yo te adore nan mòn sila a, men ou di ke se nan Jérusalem pou nou adore.”
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.
Jésus te di li: “Fanm, kwè M, yon lè ap vini lè se pa ni nan mòn sa a, ni nan Jérusalem ke ou va adore Papa a.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Ou adore sa ke ou pa konnen, men nou adore sa ke nou konnen, paske sali a sòti nan Jwif yo.
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.
“Men lè ap vini, e gen tan rive koulye a, lè vrè adoratè yo, va adore Papa a an espri, e anverite. Pwiske se moun konsa ke Papa a ap chache pou adore L.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Bondye se lespri, e fòk sa yo ki adore Li, adore L an espri e anverite.”
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.”
Fanm nan te di L: “Mwen konnen ke Mesye, (sila a ke yo rele Kris la) gen pou vini. Lè L vini, L ap deklare nou tout bagay.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Jésus te di li: “Mwen Menm k ap pale avèk ou a se Li.”
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?”
Nan moman sa a, disip Li yo te vini. Yo te etone ke Li t ap pale avèk yon fanm, men pèsòn pa t mande l: “Kisa w ap chache” ni “Poukisa w ap pale avè L.”
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
Konsa fanm nan te kite po dlo a e te antre nan vil la. Konsa, li te di a tout moun:
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
“Vin wè yon nonm ki te di mwen tout bagay ke mwen fè. Nou pa sipoze ke se Li menm ki Kris la?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Yo te kite lavil la e t ap vin kote l.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Antre tan, disip yo t ap di L: “Rabbi, manje.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
Men Li te di yo: “Mwen gen manje ke nou pa konnen.”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Pou sa disip yo t ap di a youn lòt: “Èske ou kwè ke moun pote bay Li kèk bagay pou L manje?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Jésus te di yo: “Manje M se pou fè volonte a Papa M ki voye Mwen an, e pou acheve travay Li a.
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.
“Èske nou pa konn di: ‘Genyen toujou kat mwa, epi rekòlt la ap vini?’ Gade, Mwen di nou leve zye nou epi gade chan yo. Yo blan avèk rekòlt la.
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)
“Deja sila a ki fè rekòlt la ap resevwa salè li, e l ap ranmase fwi pou lavi etènèl. Pou sila ki simen an, ak sila ki rekòlte a kapab rejwi ansanm. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
Paske nan sila a, pwovèb la vrè: ‘Youn ap simen epi yon lòt ap rekòlte.’
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
“Mwen te voye nou pou rekòlte kote nou pa t simen. Se lòt ki te travay, epi nou te antre nan travay yo.”
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.”
Anpil nan Samariten ki sòti nan vil sa a te kwè nan Li, akoz pawòl yo ke fanm nan te bay kon temwayaj “Li te di mwen tout bagay ke mwen fè”.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Lè Samariten yo te vin kote L, yo t ap mande Li pou rete avèk yo. Li te rete la pou de jou.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Anpil anplis te kwè nan Li akoz pawòl Li.
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.”
Yo t ap di a fanm nan: “Se pa ankò akoz sa ou te di yo ke nou kwè. Nou te tande pou kont nou e konnen ke Sila a se Sovè a mond lan.”
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Apre de jou Li te kite la, pou ale nan Galilée.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Paske Jésus Li menm te bay temwayaj ke yon pwofèt pa gen lonè nan pwòp peyi li.
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.
Konsa, lè Li rive nan Galilée, Galileyen yo te resevwa Li, paske yo te wè tout bagay ke Li te fè nan Jérusalem pandan fèt la, pwiske yo tout te ale nan fèt la.
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.
Li te vini ankò nan vil Cana nan Galilée, kote Li te fè dlo tounen diven an. Te genyen yon ofisye wayal la, epi fis li te malad nan Capernaüm.
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.
Lè Li te tande ke Jésus te sòti Judée pou L antre nan Galilée, li te ale kote L e te mande L pou desann avèk li pou geri fis li a, paske li te prèt pou mouri.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Pou sa, Jésus te di li: “Anmwenske nou wè sign ak mirak, nou p ap menm kwè.”
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Ofisye wayal la te di Li: “Mesye, vini avan pitit mwen an mouri.”
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.
Jésus te di li: “Ou mèt ale. Pitit ou ap viv.” Mesye a te kwè Jésus epi te sòti.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
Pandan li t ap desann, esklav li yo te rankontre li pou di li ke pitit la te vivan.
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.”
Li te mande yo kilè pitit la te kòmanse refè, e yo te di li: “Ayè sou setyèm lè lafyèv la te kite li.”
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.
Konsa papa li te konnen ke se te nan menm lè sa ke Jésus te di li: “Pitit ou a ap viv.” E li menm te kwè, epi tout lakay li ansanm avèk li.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Sa se te ankò dezyèm sign ke Jésus te fè lè Li te kite Judée pou L antre nan Galilée.
