John 4
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
VaFarisi vakanzwa kuti Jesu akanga achiteverwa navanhu vazhinji uye achibhabhatidza vadzidzi vakawanda kupfuura Johani,
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
kunyange zvake akanga asiri Jesu aibhabhatidza, asi vadzidzi vake.
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
Ishe akati anzwa izvi, akabva kuJudhea akadzokera kuGarirea zvakare.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
Zvino akanga achifanira kupfuura nomuSamaria.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Saka akasvika paguta romuSamaria rainzi Saika, pedyo nomunda wakanga wapiwa kuna Josefa nababa vake Jakobho.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Tsime raJakobho raiva ipapo, uye Jesu, aneta sezvo akanga achibva parwendo, akagara pasi patsime ipapo. Yakanga iri nguva inenge yechitanhatu.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
Mukadzi muSamaria akati auya kuzochera mvura, Jesu akati kwaari, “Ndipewo mvura yokunwa?”
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
(Vadzidzi vake vakanga vapinda muguta kuti vandotenga zvokudya.)
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.)
Mukadzi muSamaria akati kwaari, “Iwe uri muJudha uye ini ndiri muSamaria. Seiko uchikumbira kwandiri mvura yokunwa?” (Nokuti vaJudha havadyidzani navaSamaria.)
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.”
Jesu akamupindura akati, “Dai waiziva chipo chaMwari uye kuti ndiani anokumbira mvura kwauri, ungadai wakumbira kwaari uye angadai akupa mvura mhenyu.”
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?
Mukadzi akati, “Ishe, hamuna chamungacheresa nacho uye tsime rakadzika. Ko, mvura mhenyu mungaiwanepi?
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?”
Ko, imi muri mukuru here, kuna baba vedu Jakobho, avo vakatipa tsime uye vakanwa pariri ivo pachavo, sezvakaitawo vanakomana vavo namakwai avo nemombe?”
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ani naani anonwa mvura iyi achava nenyotazve,
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.”
Mukadzi akati kwaari, “Ishe, ndipei mvura iyi kuitira kuti ndirege kuzova nenyotazve uye ndirege kuramba ndichingouya kuzochera mvura pano.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Iye akati, “Enda, undodana murume wako ugodzoka pano.”
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Akapindura akati, “Handina murume.” Jesu akati kwaari, “Wareva zvakanaka pawati hauna murume.
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Chokwadi ndeichi, wakava navarume vashanu, uye murume waunaye zvino haazi murume wako. Zvawabva mukutaura ndicho chokwadi.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Mukadzi akati, “Ishe, ndinoona kuti muri muprofita.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Madzibaba edu ainamata pagomo iri, asi imi vaJudha munoti, nzvimbo yatinofanira kunamata tiri ndimo muJerusarema.”
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.
Jesu akati, “Mai, nditendei, nguva inouya yamuchanamata Baba musiri pagomo rino kana muJerusarema.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Imi vaSamaria munonamata chamusingazivi; isu tinonamata chatinoziva, nokuti ruponeso runobva kuvaJudha.
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.
Asi nguva inouya uye yatouya zvino apo vanamati vechokwadi vachanamata Baba mumweya nomuzvokwadi, nokuti ndivo vanamati vanotsvakwa naBaba kuti vamunamate.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Mwari mweya, uye vanomunamata vanofanira kumunamata mumweya nomuzvokwadi.”
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.”
Mukadzi akati, “Ndinoziva kuti Mesiya, anonzi Kristu, ari kuuya. Paanouya, acharondedzera zvinhu zvose kwatiri.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Ipapo Jesu akataura akati, “Ini ndiri kutaura newe ndini iye.”
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?”
Pakarepo vadzidzi vake vakadzokera kwaari uye vakashamiswa vachiona achitaura nomukadzi. Asi hapana akamubvunza kuti, “Unodei?” kana kuti “Munotaurireiko naye?”
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
Ipapo, asiya chirongo chake, mukadzi akadzokera kuguta akandoti kuvanhu,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
“Uyai, muone murume anditaurira zvinhu zvose zvandakaita. Kuti uyu angava iye Kristu here?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Vakabuda muguta vakapinda munzira yavo vakananga kwaari.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Vanhu vasati vasvika, vadzidzi vake vakafanomukurudzira vachiti, “Rabhi, imbowanai chamungadya.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
Asi iye akati kwavari, “Ndine chokudya chandinodya chamusingazivi.”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Ipapo vadzidzi vake vakati kuno mumwe nomumwe wavo, “Asi pano munhu amuvigira zvokudya kanhi?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvokudya zvangu ndiko kuita kuda kwowakandituma uye nokupedza basa rake.
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.
Ko, imi hamuti here, ‘Kwasara mwedzi mina ipapo kucheka kwobva kwasvika?’ Ndinoti kwamuri, svinurai meso enyu uye mutarise kuminda! Yatoibva kuti ikohwewe.
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)
Kunyange iye zvino mukohwi anopiwa mubayiro wake, kunyange izvozvi anokohwa zvibereko zvoupenyu husingaperi, kuitira kuti mukushi nomukohwi vagofara pamwe chete. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
Nokuti tsumo inoti, ‘Mumwe anokusha uye mumwe anokohwa ndeyezvokwadi.’
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
Ndakakutumai kunokohwa zvamusina kushandira. Vamwe vakaita basa rakaoma, uye imi makakohwa mubayiro wokubata kwavo.”
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.”
VaSamaria vazhinji vaibva muguta iro vakatenda kwaari nokuda kwouchapupu hwomukadzi hwokuti, “Akanditaurira zvose zvandakaita.”
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Saka vaSamaria vakasvika kwaari, vakamukumbira kuti agare navo, nokudaro akagarapo kwamazuva maviri.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Uye nokuda kwamashoko ake vamwezve vazhinji vakava vatendi.
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.”
Vakati kumukadzi uya, “Hatichatongotendi nokuda kwezvawataura chete; zvino tazvinzwira pachedu, uye tinoziva kuti murume uyu chokwadi ndiye Muponesi wenyika.”
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Mazuva maviri akati apfuura, akabva akaenda kuGarirea.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Zvino Jesu pachake akanga ambopupura kuti muprofita haakudzwi munyika yokwake.
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.
Akati asvika muGarirea, vaGarirea vakamugamuchira. Vakanga vaona zvose zvaakanga aita muJerusarema pamutambo wePasika, nokuti naivowo vaivapo.
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.
Akashanyirazve Kana yomuGarirea, uko kwaakanga ashandura mvura ikava waini. Uye ikoko kwakanga kuno mumwe mutariri wamambo akanga ane mwanakomana wake akanga avete achirwara paKapenaume.
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.
Murume uyu akati anzwa kuti Jesu asvika muGarirea achibva kuJudhea, akaenda kwaari akandomukumbira kuti auye azoporesa mwanakomana wake, uyo akanga ava pedyo nokufa.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Jesu akati kwaari, “Kana imi vanhu musina kuona zviratidzo nezvishamiso, hamungatongotendi.”
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Mutariri wamambo akati, “Ishe, burukai muuye mwana wangu asati afa.”
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.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Enda hako. Mwanakomana wako achararama.” Murume uyu akagamuchira shoko raJesu akaenda.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
Achiri munzira varanda vake vakasangana naye namashoko okuti mukomana akanga apora.
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.”
Akati abvunza nguva yakatanga mwana kunzwa zviri nani, ivo vakati kwaari, “Fivha yakabva paari nezuro panguva dzechinomwe.”
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.
Ipapo baba vaya vakayeuka kuti ndiyo yakanga iri nguva chaiyo paakanzi naJesu, “Mwanakomana wako achararama.” Saka iye neimba yake yose vakatenda.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Ichi ndicho chakanga chiri chiratidzo chechipiri chakaitwa naJesu, abva kuJudhea ava kuGarirea.
