John 4
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Yesu bu kazaba ti Bafalisi bawa ti wukitula ayi wubotika minlonguki miwombo vioka Yowani,
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
muaki niandi veka Yesu kasia botika mutu ko vayi minlongukimiandi kaka miba botikanga batu;
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
buna wukatuka mu Yuda, wuvutuka ku Ngalili.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
Kafueti kaka viokila va Samali.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Buna wutula va divula dimosi di Samali bantedilanga Sikali, difikimini ayi nsitu wu Yakobi wowo kavana muanꞌandi Zozefi.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Kuna kuba dibulu di nlangu di Yakobi. Yiba nduka-nduka midi, Yesu wuvuanda mu nkuefu wu dibulu bila phokongo yi nzietolo yiba yandi.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
Zimbukila nketo wumosi wu muisi Samali wuyiza ku teka nlangu, Yesu wunkamba: —Wuphana nlangu wunua!
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Minlonguki miandi miyenda ku divula ku sumba bidia.
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.)
Vayi nketo beni wunkamba: —Buna buevi ngeyo widi Nyuda wufueti kundombila nlangu wu nua minu nketo wu muisi Samali e? Bila Bayuda ayi basi Samali baba wizananga ko.
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 wumvutudila: —Enati zebi dikaba di Nzambi ayi mutu wulombidi nlangu wu nua; nganu ngeyo wunlombidi nlangu wu nua ayi niandi wuveni nlangu wu luzingu.
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?
Nketo wumvutudila: —A Tata, wusi ko kadi kima kitekila nlangu, ayi dibulu thipula didi. Buna kuevi wulenda bakila nlangu beni wu luzingu e?
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?”
Nkuluꞌeto Yakobi wutuvana dibulu diadi, niandi veka wunua nlangu wu dibulu diadi va kimosi ayi bana bandi ayi bibulu biandi. Buna wumbanzila ti ngeyo lutidi nkulu eto Yakobi mu buneni e?
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Yesu wumvutudila: —Woso kuandi mutu wela nua nlangu wawu wela buela mona phuila;
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.”
Buna nketo beni wunkamba: —A Tata, wuphana nlangu beni muingi ndibika buela monanga phuilaayi muingi ndibika buela kuiza tekanga nlangu vava!
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Yesu wunkamba: —Yenda tedi bakala diaku mbila, buna wiza yandi vava.
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Nketo wumvutudila: —Ndisi wukuela ko. Yesu wunkamba: —Buiedika kuandi tubidi ti wisi wukuela ko.
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Bila babakala batanu baba yaku. Diodi didi yaku buabu kasiꞌandibakala diaku ko. Mambu momo tubidi madi makiedika.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Nketo wumvutudila: —A tata, mbueni ti widi mbikudi.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Bakulu beto basambila va mongo wawu vayi beno lueta tuba ti ku Yelusalemi kaka kuawu bafueti sambidilanga.
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 wumvutudila: —Nketo, wunguilukila; thangu yeka kuiza yoyi luela sambidila Tata bika va mongo wawu ayi bika ku Yelusalemi.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Beno lunsambilanga ma lukambulu zaba. Vayi beto tuzebi ma tuetasambila, bila phulusu yitotukila kuidi Bayuda.
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.
Vayi thangu yeka nduka kuiza, ayi yifueni yoyo minsambidi mikiedika miela sambilanga Tata mu Pheve ayi mu kiedika, bila Tatawuntombanga bobo bankunsambidilanga mu phila yoyo.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Nzambi niandi Pheve, buna bufueni bobo bakunsambila bafueti kunsambidila mu Pheve ayi mu kiedika.
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.”
Nketo wunkamba: —Nzebi ti Mesiya mutu beta tedila Klisto wela kuiza, bu kela kuiza. Buna kela kuiza buna wela kutu sudikisa mambu moso.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Yesu wumvutudila: —Minu wawu wunyoluka yaku.
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?”
Muna thangu yina, minlonguki miandi mivutuka, misimina bu miyiza kumbata wulembo solula ayi nketo wu muisi Samali. Muaki kadi mutu wumosi kasia kunyuvula ko ti: “mbi wulembo nyuvulanga e?” Bila “mbi wulembo soludilanga yandi e?”
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
Vana vawu nketo wutumbu bika mvunguꞌandi, wuvutuka nsualu ku divula ayi wukamba batu:
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
—Yizanu, lutala mutu wukhembi mambu moso momo ndivanga. Niandi ko Klisto e?
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Diawu batu batotuka mu divula ayi bayenda ku kaba.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Mu thangu yina, minlonguki miandi mintatimisa bu minkamba: —Labi, dia!
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
Vayi Yesu wuba vutudila: —Minu bidia bidi yama biobi beno lukambulu zaba.
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Minlonguki miyuvasana bawu na bawu: —Buna mutu wunnatiningi bidia e?
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Vanga luzolo lu mutu wuthuma ayi manisa kisalu kiandi biawu bidia biama.
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.
Beno lutubanga ko ti: zingonda ziya zisiedi buna thangu yi tota bidia mu zitsola yifueni e? Vayi tala minu ndikulukamba ti: luvumbula meso meno, lutala zitsola, makundi mameni yela.
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)
Mvedi wu makundi wuntambulanga mfutu andi ayi wunkupikanga mu diambudi luzingu lukalumani muingi nkuni ayi mvedi bamona khini va kimosi. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
Bila vava vamonikini tsundu yi nongo yayi: “Wunkaka niandi wunkunanga; wunkaka niandi wumvelanga”.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
Ndilutuma luenda vedi makundi mu tsola yi lukambu kueno sala, batu bankaka bawu basala vayi beno luvela makundi ma kisalu kiawu.
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.”
Mu divula dina, basi Samali bawombo bawilukila Yesu mu diambu di kimbangi kitelama nketo wuna bu katuba ti: “wukhembingi mambu moso momo ndivanga.”
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Thangu basi Samali bayiza vaba Yesu, banleba kateka kala yawu. Bilumbu biodi kavuandila yawu.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Buna batu bawombo bankaka bawilukila mu diambu di mambu mandi
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.”
ayi bakamba nketo beni ti: —Buabu beto tuwilukidi, bika sia ti mu diambu di mambu maku wutukembingivayi mu diambu di beto veka tunwilu. Tuzebi bukiedika kuandi ti niandi Mvulusi wu nza.
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Bilumbu biodi biobi bu bivioka, Yesu wubotuka kuna, wuyenda ku Ngalili.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Bila niandi veka Yesu wutelama kimbangi, bu kakamba ti: Mbikudi kasi nzitusu mu yandi tsi ko.
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.
Bu katula ku Ngalili, basi Ngalili banyakula bu bamona bikumu biobi kavanga ku Yelusalemi mu thangu nyengo bila bawu mamvawu baba kuendanga ku nyengo.
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.
Wuvutukila ku Kana, mu tsi Ngalili, kuna kakitudila nlangu vinu. Vayi kuba Pfumu yimosi yi leta, muisi Kafalinawumi, wuba ayi muanꞌandi wubakala wuba kimbevo
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.
Bu kawa ti Yesu wubotukidi mu tsi Yuda; buabu widi mu tsi Ngalili, buna wuyiza kunleba mu diambu kiza belusa muanꞌandi wubakala wuba nduka mu fua.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Yesu wunkamba: —Enati lukadi mona bidimbu ayi bikumu buna lulendi wilukila ko e?
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Pfumu beni wunleba: —Pfumu, tuenda nsualu tuamina muanꞌama kafua!
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 wumvutudila: —Yenda kuaku, muanꞌaku wulembo zingi! Mutu wuwilukila mambu mankamba Yesu, ayi, wuyenda kuandi.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
Buna wukidi mu nzila, bisadi biandi biyiza kundengana, binkamba ti: “muanꞌaku wulembo zingi.”
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.”
Wuba yuvula kani thangu mbi muanꞌandi kamonina mbote. Bamvutudila: —Zinzangala zimeni kibedi zono va thangu yitheti ku manima midi.
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.
Dise dizaba ti yawu yina thangu Yesu kankambila ti: “Muanꞌaku wulembo zingi” Buna mutu beni va kimosi ayi batu boso baba mvuandanga ku nzoꞌandi bawilukila.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Kioki kumu kimmuadi kivanga Yesu bu kaba mu tsi Yuda mu kuenda ku Ngalili.
