Jan 4
1 Farizyen yo tande Jezi t'ap fè plis patizan pase Jan, li t'ap batize plis moun pase l' tou.
Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (Men, pou di vre, Jezi pa t' janm batize pesonn. Se disip li yo ki t'ap batize.)
(Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),
3 Lè Jezi vin konn sa, li kite peyi Jide, li tounen nan peyi Galile.
he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.
4 Sou wout la, fòk li te pase nan mitan peyi Samari.
He had to pass through Samaria,
5 Li rive nan yon bouk Samari yo rele Sika, toupre moso tè Jakòb te bay Jozèf, pitit gason l' lan.
and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Se la pi Jakòb la te ye. Jezi menm te bouke, vwayaj la te fatige l' anpil. Li chita sou rebò pi a. Li te bò midi konsa.
Jacob’s Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about midday.
7 Yon fanm peyi Samari vin pou tire dlo. Jezi di l' konsa: Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her – ‘Give me some to drink,’
8 (Disip li yo te ale lavil la achte manje.)
For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food.
9 Fanm Samari a di Jezi konsa: Kouman? Se pa jwif ou ye? Ki jan ou fè mande m' dlo pou ou bwè, mwen menm ki moun Samari? (Paske, jwif yo pa t' gen rapò ak moun Samari.)
‘How is it,’ replied the Samaritan woman, ‘that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?’ (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).
10 Jezi reponn li: Si ou te konnen sa Bondye bay la, si ou te konnen ki moun k'ap mande ou ti gout dlo pou bwè a, se ou menm ki ta mande l' ba ou ti gout dlo bwè. Lè sa a, li ta ka ba ou nan dlo ki bay lavi a.
‘If you knew of the gift of God,’ replied Jesus, ‘and who it is that is saying to you “Give me some water,” you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.’
11 Fanm lan di li: Msye, ou pa gen veso pou tire dlo. Epitou, pi a fon anpil. Ki bò pou ou ta jwenn dlo ki bay lavi sa a?
‘You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep,’ she said. ‘Where did you get that “living water?”
12 Se Jakòb, zansèt nou, ki te ban nou pi sa a. Li te bwè ladan li. Tout pitit li yo ansanm ak tout bèt li yo, se la yo te bwè tou. Koulye a, ou prèt pou di m' ou pi gran pase Jakòb?
Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!’
13 Jezi reponn li: Tout moun ki bwè dlo sa a gen pou l' swaf dlo ankò.
‘All who drink of this water,’ replied Jesus, ‘will be thirsty again;
15 Fanm lan di l': Tanpri, msye, ban m' ti gout nan dlo sa a non pou m' bwè, konsa mwen p'ap janm anvi bwè dlo ankò, mwen p'ap bezwen tounen isit la vin tire dlo.
‘Give me this water, Sir,’ said the woman, ‘so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water.’
16 Jezi di l' konsa: Ale rele mari ou. Apre sa, tounen vin jwenn mwen isit la.
‘Go and call your husband,’ said Jesus, ‘and then come back.’
17 Fanmi lan reponn: Mwen pa gen mari. Jezi di l' konsa: Ou gen rezon di ou pa gen mari.
‘I have no husband,’ answered the woman. ‘You are right in saying “I have no husband,”’ replied Jesus,
18 Paske, ou pase senk mari deja. Epi nonm k'ap viv avè ou koulye a, se pa mari ou li ye. Ou pa ban m' manti.
‘For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.’
19 Lè sa a, fanm lan di l': Gen lè ou se yon pwofèt, msye?
‘I see, Sir, that you are a prophet!’ exclaimed the woman.
20 Zansèt nou yo nan peyi Samari te sèvi Bondye sou mòn sa a. Men nou menm jwif, nou di: Sèl kote pou moun sèvi Bondye, se lavil Jerizalèm.
‘It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshiped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.’
21 Jezi reponn li: Madanm, ou mèt kwè mwen. Lè a pral rive, se pa ni sou mòn sa a, ni lavil Jerizalèm pou n' sèvi Papa a.
‘Believe me,’ replied Jesus, ‘a time is coming when it will be neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you will worship the Father.
22 Nou menm, moun Samari, nou pa konnen sa n'ap sèvi a. Nou menm jwif, nou konnen sa n'ap sèvi a, paske moun k'ap vin pou sove a, se nan mitan jwif yo l'ap soti.
You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Men, lè a ap rive, li rive deja: tout moun k'ap sèvi tout bon yo pral sèvi Papa a nan kè yo jan sa dwe fèt. Se moun konsa Bondye vle pou sèvi li.
But a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father spiritually and truly; for such are the worshipers that the Father desires.
24 Bondye, se Lespri li ye. Tout moun k'ap sèvi l', se pou yo sèvi l' nan lespri yo jan sa dwe fèt la.
God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly.’
25 Fanm lan di li: Mwen konnen Mesi a, moun yo rele Kris la, gen pou l' vini tou. Lè la vini, la esplike nou tout bagay sa yo.
‘I know,’ answered the woman, ‘that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything.’
26 Jezi reponn li: Mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou la a, mwen se Kris la.
‘I am he,’ Jesus said to her, ‘I who am speaking to you.’
27 Lè sa a, disip Jezi yo vin rive. Yo te sezi wè l' ap pale ak yon fanm. Men, yo yonn pa mande l': Kisa ou gen avèk li? Osinon: Poukisa w'ap pale avè li?
At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Fanm lan menm kite krich dlo a la, li tounen li al lavil la. Li di moun yo:
So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people,
29 Vini wè yon nonm ki di m' tou sa m' fè. Eske nou pa kwè se Kris la?
‘Come and see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?’
30 Moun yo soti lavil la, yo vin jwenn Jezi.
And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.
31 Disip yo menm, bò pa yo, t'ap mande Jezi pou l' manje. Yo t'ap di l': Tanpri, Mèt, manje kichòy non!
Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him, ‘Take something to eat, Rabbi.’
32 Men, li reponn yo: Mwen gen pou m' manje yon manje nou pa konnen.
‘I have food to eat,’ he answered, ‘of which you know nothing.’
33 Lè sa a, disip yo yonn pran mande lòt: Gen lè yon moun pote manje ba li.
‘Can anyone have brought him anything to eat?’ the disciples said to one another.
34 Jezi di yo: Manje pa m', se fè volonte moun ki voye m' lan; se pou m' fin fè travay li ban m' fè a.
‘My food,’ replied Jesus, ‘is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 Nou menm, nou di: Nan kat mwa ankò nou pral fè rekòt. Mwen menm, mwen di nou: Gade jaden yo byen. Grenn yo fin mi, yo tou bon pou ranmase.
Don’t you say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are for harvest!
36 Yo gen tan peye moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la, l'ap anpile grenn yo pou lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Se konsa, moun k'ap simen an kontan; moun k'ap ranmase a kontan tou ansanm avèk li. (aiōnios g166)
Already the reaper is receiving wages and gathering in sheaves for eternal life, so that sower and reaper rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Sa pawòl la di a, se vre wi: Moun ki simen an, se pa li ki ranmase.
For here the proverb holds good – “One sows, another reaps.”
38 Mwen voye nou ranmase nan yon jaden nou pa t' travay. Se lòt moun ki te travay li. Men, se nou menm k'ap pwofite travay yo.
I have sent you to reap that on which you have spent no labour; others have laboured, and you have reaped the results of their labour.’
39 Anpil moun Samari ki te rete nan Sika te kwè nan Jezi poutèt sa madanm lan te di yo: Li di m' tou sa m' fè.
Many from that town came to believe in Jesus – Samaritans though they were – because the woman had said, “He has told me everything that I have done.”
40 Se konsa, lè yo rive bò kote li, yo mande l' pou l' rete avèk yo. Jezi pase de jou nan lavil la.
And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
41 Te gen anpil lòt moun ankò ki te kwè nan li, poutèt sa Jezi menm t'ap di yo.
But far more came to believe in him because of what he said himself,
42 Yo di fanm lan konsa: Koulye a nou kwè, se pa sèlman poutèt sa ou rakonte nou an, men tou paske nou tande l' nou menm ak de zòrèy nou. Nou konnen se li menm vre ki vin delivre moun sou latè.
and they said to the woman, ‘It is no longer because of what you say that we believe in him, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he really is the Saviour of the world.’
43 Lè Jezi fin pase de jou sa yo la, li pati, li ale nan peyi Galile.
After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;
44 Paske, se Jezi menm ki te di: Yo pa janm respekte yon pwofèt nan peyi kote l' soti.
for he himself declared that “a prophet is not honoured in his own country.”
45 Lè li rive nan Galile, moun Galile yo te byen resevwa l', paske yo menm tou yo te al lavil Jerizalèm pou fèt Delivrans lan, yo te wè tou sa li te fè lè sa a.
When he entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the Festival, at which they also had been present.
46 Apre sa, Jezi tounen vin Kana nan Galile, kote li te fè dlo tounen diven an. Nan lavil la te gen yon gwo fonksyonè leta ki te gen yon pitit gason l' ki te malad nan yon lòt lavil yo rele Kapènawòm.
So Jesus came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was one of the king’s officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.
47 Lè li vin konnen Jezi te soti peyi Jide vin nan peyi Galile, li al jwenn li, li mande l' pou li al Kapènawòm geri pitit li a ki te prèt pou mouri.
When this man heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Jezi di l' konsa: Si nou pa wè mirak ak bèl bagay, nou p'ap janm kwè.
Jesus answered, ‘Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe.’
49 Fonksyonè a reponn li: Mèt, vin avè m' non, anvan pitit mwen an gen tan mouri.
‘Sir,’ said the officer, ‘come down before my child dies.’ And Jesus answered, ‘Go, your son is living.’
50 Jezi di li: Ou mèt al lakay ou. Pitit ou a p'ap mouri. Nonm lan kwè sa Jezi te di l' la, li ale.
The man believed what Jesus said to him, and went;
51 Li te sou wout lakay li toujou lè domestik li yo vin jwenn li avèk nouvèl sa a: Pitit ou a pa mouri.
and, while he was on his way down, his servants met him, and told him that his child was living.
52 Li mande yo: Kilè ti gason an refè? Yo reponn li: Yè apremidi, bò enè konsa, lafyèb la tonbe.
So he asked them at what time the boy began to get better. ‘It was yesterday, about one o’clock,’ they said, ‘that the fever left him.’
53 Papa a vin rekonèt se te lè sa a menm Jezi te di l': Pitit gason ou lan p'ap mouri. Se konsa li menm ansanm ak tout moun lakay li yo kwè nan Jezi.
By this the father knew that it was at the very time when Jesus had said to him “Your son is living”; and he himself, with all his household, believed in Jesus.
54 Sa te fè dezyèm mirak Jezi te fè lè l' tounen soti Jide vini nan peyi Galile.
This was the second occasion on which Jesus gave a sign of his mission on coming from Judea to Galilee.
