Yowana 4
1 Ashimapalishayo gubhapilikenenje kuti a Yeshu bhanapata na bhatisha bhaajiganywa bhabhagwinji kupunda a Yowana.
When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
2 Ikabheje a Yeshu bhayene bhangabhatisha mundu ikabhe bhabhatishangaga bhaajiganywa bhabho.
(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),
3 Bhai, a Yeshu bhakagamanyeje genego, gubhajabhwile ku Yudea kubhuja ku Galilaya,
He left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4 gwene mwanjago bhashinkupinjikwa bhapite ja ku Shamalia.
Now He had to pass through Samaria.
5 Bhai, gubhaishe ku Shikali shilambo shimo sha ku Shamalia, tome na nngunda gwa a Yoshepu gubhapegwilwe na ainabhabho a Yakobho bhukala.
So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Penepo lishinkupagwa liiko lya a Yakobho, puyaliji malanga ga shaa shita ja mui, pabha a Yeshu bhashinkutotoshela ga mwanja gula, gubhatemi panyenje liiko.
Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Bhai, gubhaishe bhakongwe bhamo bha Shishamalia kuuteka mashi. A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “None mashi gang'wa.”
When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
8 Gene malangago bhaajiganywa bhabho kubhapitengenenje kunjini kuuma shalya.
(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 Bhakongwe bhala gubhaabhalanjile a Yeshu, “Mmwe Mmayaudi na nne Bhakongwe Bhashamalia! Nkukombola bhuli kunyuga mashi gang'wa?” Bhashinkubheleketa nneyo pabha Bhayaudi na Bhashamalia bhakaanganilana.
“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
10 A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Nkashimanyi shibhapinga kumpa a Nnungu, numbe gani akummalanjila, none mashi ga ng'wa, nkannjujile jwenejo akampele mashi gataga gumi.”
Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
11 Bhakongwe bhala gubhashite, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe mwangali nngabho na liikoli lishitaliya, kumpatile kwei mashi gataga gumigo?
“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?
12 Igala mmwe mmakulungwa kupunda ambuje a Yakobho? Bhenebho ni bhatupele uwe lyene liikoli, bhayene na ashibhana bhabho na bhannyama bhabho bhang'welenje mashi ga lyene liikoli.”
Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”
13 A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Jojowe shang'we mashi ga lyene liikoli shakole njota kabhili.
Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
15 Bhakongwe bhala gubhaalugulile, “Mmakulungwa, none mashigo ngunakole njota kabhili, ngunaishe kabhili apano kuteka mashi.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Nnjende nkaasheme ambujebhenu, nng'ishe nabho apano.”
Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 Bhakongwe bhala gubhajangwile, “Nangali ambujebhangu.” A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Ntashiye ukoto, kuti mwangali ambujebhenu.
“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.
18 Pabha mwalombilwe paano na bhunkutama nabho nnainobho nngabha ambuje bhenu bha alali. Penepo guntashiyega ga kweli.”
In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
19 Bhakongwe bhala gubhaabhalanjile, “Mmakulungwa, nne pungubhona kuti mmwe ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
20 Bhanangulungwa bhetu bha Shishamaliya pubhaajujilangaga a Nnungu pa ashi shitumbishi, ikabheje Mmayaudi mmwe nkutinji ku Yelushalemu kula nikutupinjikwa kujujila Nnungu.”
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “awile, nngulupalile nne, mobha ganakwiya nkaajuganga Atati pa shene shitumbishi, wala ku Yelushalemu kula.
“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 Mmanganyanji Bhashamaliya nkakwaammanyanga bhunkwaajuganga, ikabheje Tubhayaudi uwe twaamanyi bhutukwaajuga, pabha ntapulo gwa a Nnungu shuguishe kupitila ku Bhayaudi.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Ikabheje malanga shigaishe, numbe gaishe, gatenda bhakwaatindibhalilanga bha kweli, shibhaatindibhalilanje Atati kwa mashili gaka Mbumu na kwa kweli. Pabha Atati bhanakwaapinganga bhandunji bhaajuganga shana nneyo.
But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.
24 A Nnungu ni Mbumu, na bhandu bhakwajuganga bhenebho, bhanapinjikwanga bhaajuganje kwa komboywa naka Mbumu na kweli.”
God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
25 Bhakongwe bhala gubhaalugulile, “Nimumanyi kuti bhanakwiya bhaagwilwe na a Nnungu bhaashemwa a Kilishitu Bhaatapula. Bhenebho bhaikaga, shibhatubhalanjile indu yowe.”
The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
26 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Nne ngukunguluka na mmwe ni bhayene.”
Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
27 Penepo bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhabhujilengenenje, gubhakanganigwenje ga kwaakongana a Yeshu bhalikunguluka na bhakongwe. Ikabheje jwakwa abhabhushiye, “Nkupinga nndi?” Eu, “Kwa nndi nnakunguluka na bhakongwe?”
Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
28 Bhene bhakongwebho gubhaleshile lulo lwabho popo gubhapite kunjini nikwabhalanjilanga bhandunji,
Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
29 “Twendangane nkaalolanje bhandu bhamalanjile indu yangu yowe indendile! Bhuli, nngatendeka bhenebho kubha a Kilishitu Bhaagombola?”
“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
30 Bhai bhandunji kukopoka kunjini kula gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu.
So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
31 Gene malanga pego bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaashondelesheyenje a Yeshu bhalinkutinji, “Shonde Mmaajiganya, nnye shalya.”
Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Nne ngwete shalya shinkakushimanyanga.”
But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33 Bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhabhuyenenje, “Apali mundu abhapele shalya?”
So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
34 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Shalya shangu ni kutenda ibhapinga bhandumile bhala na maliya liengo lyabho.
Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
35 Mmanganyanji nkabheleketanga kuti, ‘Jiigele miei nsheshepe, gaishe mobha ga neng'ena?’ Ikabheje nne nguti, nnolanje bhandunjibha, ni malinga yalya mmigunda, iishile pa una.
Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.
36 Nkuuna analipwa, na analopolela mauno pamo nkupinga gabhe na gumi gwa pitipiti, nkupinga nkupanda na nkuuna bhowe bhainonyelanje. (aiōnios g166)
Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Kwa nneyo ashi shibheleketo sha kuti, ‘Jumo anapanda na juna anauna.’ Ni sha kweli.
For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
38 Nne njikunntumanga nkaunanje mauno gunkanakamulilanga liengo lya lima, bhakamwilenje liengo likulungwa bhananji, ikabheje inkwiipatanga mmanganyanji, ni kwa ligongo lya liengo lyabhonji.”
I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”
39 Bhashamalia bhabhagwinji bha shene shilambo shila gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu kwa ligongo lya malobhe gubhabhelekete bhakongwe bhala kuti, “Bhashinugulila indu yowe indendile.”
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
40 Bhashamalia gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu nikwashondelesheya bhatame nabhonji, gubhatemi kweneko mobha gabhili.
So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
41 Bhandu bhabhagwinji kaje gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu kwa ligongo lya malobhe gabho.
And many more believed because of His message.
42 Gubhaalugulilenje bhakongwe bhala, “Nnaino uwe tunakulupalila nngabha kwa ligongo lya malobhe genupe, ikabheje tupilikene twaashayene na tumumanyi kuti bhenebha bhapinga tapula shilambolyo.”
They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”
43 Gakapiteje mobha gabhili a Yeshu gubhajabhwile kweneko, gubhapite ku Galilaya.
After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
44 Pabha bhayene bhalugwile gwangali nng'iyo kuti, “Nkulondola jwa a Nnungu akaishimika pa shilambo shakwe.”
Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
45 Bhai bhakaisheje ku Galilaya, Bhagalilaya bhabhagwinji gubhaaposhelenje. Pabha pubhapitengenenje ku Yelushalemu kushikukuu sha Pashaka, kweneko bhagabhweninji gowe gubhatendile a Yeshu.
Yet when He arrived, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.
46 A Yeshu gubhaishe kabhili kushilambo sha ku Kana kunkowa gwa ku Galilaya, kubhatendile mashi kubha divai. Ku Kapalanaumu bhashinkupagwa bhakulungwa bhamo bha manjola bhakwete mwana nwele ku Kapelenaumu.
So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
47 Bhai, bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala bhakapilikaneje a Yeshu bhashiika ku Galilaya kukoposhela ku Yudea, gubhaajendele nikwaajuga bhajende ku Kapalanaumu bhakannamye mwana gwabho aliji nnwele jwa nnumbangu.
When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
48 A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Nkaibhonanje ilangulo na ilapo nkakulupalilanga!”
Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
49 Bhakulungwa bha manjola bhala a gubhaalugulile a Yeshu, “Mmakulungwa, shonde twende mwanangu akanabhewa.”
“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
50 A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Njende, mwana gwenu alamile.” Bhandu bhala gubhakulupalile malobhe ga a Yeshu, gubhajabhwile.
“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.
51 Bhali mumpanda gwa kwenda kungwabho, gubhaimikene na bhatumishi bhabho, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmakulungwa, mwanagwenu alamile”.
And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
52 Na bhalabho gubhabhushiyenje, “Malanga gani mwana palamile” Gubhaalugulilenje, “Liyo shaa shaba ja mui, shilwele pushinneshile.”
So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”
53 Ainamundu bhala gubhakumbushile kuti pugaliji malanga gogo pego pubhalugulilwe na a Yeshu kuti, “Mwana gwenu alamile.” Penepo bhenebho na ashaalongo ajabho bhowe gubhaakulupalilenje.
Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed.
54 Sheneshi pushaliji shilangulo sha bhili shibhatendile a Yeshu bhalibhuja ku Yudea kwenda ku Galilaya.
This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
