< यूहन्‍ना 4 >

1 अब जब यूहन्‍नाले भन्‍दा येशूले धेरै चेलाहरू बनाउँदै हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो र बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो भनी फरिसीहरूले सुने भन्‍ने उहाँले थाहा गर्नुभयो,
Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (यद्यपि येशू आफैँले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्‍नथ्यो, तर उहाँका चेलाहरूले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै थिए)
(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
3 उहाँ यहूदिया छोडेर गालीलतिर जानुभयो ।
he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.
4 तर उहाँ सामरिया भएर जानु आवश्‍यक थियो ।
But it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
5 त्‍यसैले, उहाँ याकूबले आफ्नो छोरा योसेफलाई दिएका जग्‍गाको टुक्रा नजिक रहेको सामरियाको सुखार भनिने एउटा सहरमा आउनुभयो ।
So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 त्यहाँ याकूबको इनार थियो । येशू आफ्नो यात्राले थाक्‍नुभयो र इनारको छेउमा बस्‍नुभयो । यो छैठौँ घडीतिरको कुरा थियो ।
The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 एक जना सामरी स्‍त्री पानी लिन आइन् र येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई पिउन थोरै पानी देऊ ।”
A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
8 किनभने उहाँका चेलाहरू खानेकुरा किन्‍न सहरतिर गएका थिए ।
For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
9 त्‍यसपछि सामरी स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “तपाईं एक जना यहूदी भएर पनि म एउटी सामरी स्‍त्रीसँग कसरी पिउने कुरा माग्‍नुभएको?” किनकि यहूदीहरूले समारीहरूसँग कुनै किसिमको लेनदेन गर्दैनन् ।
Then the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, are asking me, being a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
10 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्‍नुभयो, “यदि तिमीले परमेश्‍वरको वरदानलाई चिनेकी भए र ‘मलाई पिउन देऊ’ भनिरहनुहुनेलाई चिनेकी भए, तिमीले चाहिँ उनीसँग माग्‍ने थियौ, र उनले तिमीलाई जिउँदो पानी दिने थिए ।”
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन्, “महाशय, तपाईंसित बाल्‍टिन छैन; इनार पनि गहिरो छ । अनि तपाईंसँग जिउँदो पानी कहाँ छ त?
The woman said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket and the well is deep. Where then do you have the living water?
12 के तपाईं हाम्रा पुर्खा याकूबभन्‍दा महान् हुनुहुन्‍छ जसले हामीलाई इनार दिनुभयो र उहाँ आफैँले पनि यही इनारबाट पानी पिउनुभयो र उहाँका सन्‍तानहरू र उहाँका गाईवस्‍तुहरूले पनि पिए?”
You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his cattle?”
13 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्‍नुभयो, “हरेक जस‍ले यो पानी पिउँछ, त्यो फेरि तिर्खाउनेछ,
Jesus replied and said to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again,
14 तर जसले मैले दिने पानी पिउँछ, त्यो फेरि कहिल्यै तिर्खाउनेछैन । बरु, मैले दिने त्यो पानी त्‍यसको अन्‍तस्‍करणमा अनन्‍त जीवनसम्‍मै उम्रिरहने पानीको मूल बन्‍नेछ ।” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
but whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. Instead, the water that I will give him will become a fountain of water in him, springing up to eternal life.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, मलाई यो पानी दिनुहोस्, ताकि म फेरि तिर्खाउनेछैन र यहाँ पानी लिन आउनुपर्नेछैन ।”
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I may not become thirsty and not have to come here to draw water.”
16 येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो लोग्‍नेलाई बोलाऊ, र यहाँ आऊ ।”
Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back here.”
17 स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन् र भनिन्, “मेरो लोग्‍ने छैन ।” येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “‘मेरो लोग्‍ने छैन’ भनी तिमीले साँचो भनेकी छ्यौ ।
The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus replied, “You are right in saying, 'I have no husband,'
18 किनकि तिम्रा पाँच जना लोग्‍ने भइसकेका छन् र अहिले भएको पनि तिम्रो लोग्‍ने होइन । तिमीले भनेकी कुरो साँचो हो ।”
for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
19 स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, तपाईं अगमवक्‍ता हुनुहुन्छ भनी म देख्‍छु ।
The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
20 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले यही पर्वतमा आराधना गरे, तर मानिसहरूले आराधना गर्नुपर्ने स्‍थान यरूशलेम नै हो भनी तपाईंहरू भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।”
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have to worship.”
21 येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हे नारी, मलाई विश्‍वास गर । समय आइरहेको छ, तिमीहरूले पितालाई न यो पर्वतमा न त यरूशलेममा नै आराधना गर्नेछौ ।
Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 तिमीहरूले जे जान्दैनौ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौ । हामी जे जान्दछौँ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौं, किनकि उद्धार यहूदीहरूबाट नै आउँछ ।
You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 तापनि, साँचा आराधकहरूले पितालाई आत्‍मा र सत्‍यतामा आराधना गर्ने बेला आइरहेको छ र त्यो अहिले नै हो, किनकि पिताले आफ्ना आराधकहरू हुन यस्‍ता मानिसहरूको खोजी गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍छ ।
However, the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.
24 परमेश्‍वर आत्‍मा हुनुहुन्‍छ र उहाँलाई आराधना गर्ने मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई आत्‍मा र सत्‍यतामा आराधना गर्नुपर्छ ।”
God is Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “(ख्रीष्‍ट भनिने) मसीह आउँदै हुनुहुन्‍छ भन्‍ने मलाई थाहा छ, जब उहाँ आउनुहुन्‍छ, उहाँले हामीलाई सबै कुरा बताउनुहुनेछ ।”
The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming (the one called Christ). When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 येशूले त्यसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीसँग कुराकानी गरिरहने, म उही नै हुँ ।”
Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one speaking to you.”
27 त्‍यही बेला उहाँका चेलाहरू आइपुगे । उहाँ स्‍त्रीसित किन कुराकानी गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍थ्यो भनी तिनीहरू चकित भइरहेका थिए, तर “तपाईं के चाहनुहुन्‍छ?” वा “किन तपाईं त्‍यससँग कुराकानी गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍छ?” भनी कसैले पनि भनेन ।
At that moment his disciples returned. Now they were wondering why he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are you speaking with her?”
28 त्‍यसैले, ती स्‍त्रीले आफ्नो गाग्रो छोडेर सहरतिर गइन् र मानिसहरूलाई भनिन्,
So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,
29 “आओ, मैले गरेका सबै कुराहरू मलाई बताइदिनुहुने मानिसलाई हेर । उहाँ नै ख्रीष्‍ट हुन सक्छ, हुन सक्दैन त?”
“Come, see a man who told me everything that I have ever done. This could not be the Christ, could it?”
30 तिनीहरू सहरबाट उहाँकहाँ आए ।
They left the town and came to him.
31 त्‍यसै बेला चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यसो भन्‍दै अनुरोध गरिरहेका थिए, “रब्‍बी, खानुहोस् ।”
In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मसँग खानेकुरा छ जुन तिमीहरू जान्दैनौ ।”
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
33 त्‍यसकारण, चेलाहरूले एक आपसमा भने, “उहाँलाई कुनै खानेकुरा कसैले ल्‍याएको छैन, ल्‍याएको छ र?”
So the disciples said to each other, “No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?”
34 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जसले मलाई पठाउनुभयो, उहाँको इच्‍छा र उहाँको काम पुरा गर्नु नै मेरो खानेकुरा हो ।
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.
35 अझ पनि चार महिना छ र त्‍यसपछि कटनी गर्ने समय आउनेछ भनी के तिमीहरू भन्‍दैनौ? म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍दै छु, हेर र खेतलाई देख, किनकि तिनीहरू कटनीको निम्‍ति अगि नै पाकिसकेका छन् ।
Do you not say, 'There are four more months and then the harvest comes'? I am saying to you, look up and see the fields, for they are already ripe for harvest!
36 जसले कटनी गर्छ, त्यसले ज्याला पाउँछ र अनन्‍त जीवनको निम्‍ति फल बटुल्‍छ, ताकि छर्ने र कटनी गर्ने सँगसँगै रमाउन सकून् । (aiōnios g166)
He who is harvesting receives wages and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that he who sows and he who harvests may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 किनकि एउटाले छर्छ र अर्काले कटनी गर्छ भन्‍ने यो भनाइ यसैमा साँचो छ ।
For in this the saying, 'One sows, and another harvests,' is true.
38 तिमीहरूले काम नगरेका कुरा कटनी गर्न मैले तिमीहरूलाई पठाएँ । अरूहरूले काम गरेका छन्, र तिमीहरू उनीहरूका श्रममा प्रवेश गरेका छौ ।”
I sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have entered into their labor.”
39 “मैले गरेका सबै कुरा उहाँले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो” भनी स्‍त्रीले दिएको गवाहीले गर्दा त्‍यस सहरमा बसोबास गर्ने धेरै सामरीहरूले उहाँमा विश्‍वास गरे ।
Many of the Samaritans in that city believed in him because of the report of the woman who was testifying, “He told me everything that I have done.”
40 त्यसैले, जब सामरीहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूसँग बस्‍न आग्रह गरे र उहाँ त्‍यहाँ दुई दिन बस्‍नुभयो ।
So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
41 उहाँको वचनको कारणले गर्दा धेरै जनाले विश्‍वास गरे ।
Many more believed because of his word.
42 तिनीहरूले ती स्‍त्रीलाई भने, “तिमीले भनेकी कारणले हामी विश्‍वास गर्दैनौँ, किनकि हामी आफैँले सुनेका छौँ र हामी जान्दछौँ, कि उहाँ नै संसारका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्‍छ ।”
They said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is indeed the savior of the world.”
43 दुई दिनपछि उहाँ त्‍यहाँबाट गालील प्रस्थान गर्नुभयो ।
After those two days, he departed from there for Galilee.
44 किनकि येशू आफैँले घोषणा गर्नुभयो, कि अगमवक्‍तालाई उसको आफ्नै गाउँमा आदर गरिँदैन ।
For Jesus himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 जब उहाँ गालीलमा आउनुभयो, गालीलीहरूले उहाँलाई स्‍वागत गरे । यरूशलेमको चाडमा उहाँले गर्नुभएका सबै कुराहरू तिनीहरूले देखेका थिए, किनकि तिनीहरू पनि चाडमा गएका थिए ।
When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the festival, for they had also gone to the festival.
46 अब उहाँले पानीलाई दाखमद्यमा परिणत गर्नुभएको गालीलको काना सहरमा उहाँ फेरि आउनुभयो । त्यहाँ एक जना राजकीय अधिकारी थिए जसको छोरा कर्फनहुममा बिरामी थिए ।
Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. There was a certain royal official whose son in Capernaum was ill.
47 जब येशू यहूदियाबाट गालील आउनुभएको तिनले सुने, तिनी येशूकहाँ गए र उहाँ आएर तिनका मर्न लागेका छोरालाई निको पारिदिनुहोस् भनी उहाँलाई बिन्‍ती गरे ।
When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
48 तब येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “चिह्न‍हरू र आश्‍चर्यकर्महरू नदेखेसम्‍म तिमीहरूले विश्‍वास गर्नेछैनौ ।”
Jesus then said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 ती अधिकारीले उहाँलाई भने, “महाशय, मेरो छोरो मर्नुअगावै आउनुहोस् ।”
The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्‍छ ।” येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभएको वचन तिनले विश्‍वास गरे, र तिनी आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
Jesus said to him, “Go. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went away.
51 तिनी जाँदै गर्दा, तिनका छोरो जीवित भए भन्दै तिनका नोकरहरूले तिनलाई भेटे ।
While he was going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
52 यसकारण, उसको सुधार कति बेलादेखि भएको थियो भनी तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हिजो सातौँ घडीमा उसलाई ज्‍वरोले छोड्यो ।”
So he asked them the hour when he began to improve. They replied to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”
53 त्‍यसपछि यो येशूले “तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्‍छ” भन्‍नुभएको घडी थियो भन्‍ने ती बुबाले महसुस गरे । यसकारण तिनी र तिनका आफ्ना सम्‍पूर्ण घरानाले विश्‍वास गरे ।
Then the father realized that it was at that hour that Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” So he himself and his whole household believed.
54 येशू यहूदियाबाट गालीलमा आउँनुहुँदा उहाँले गर्नुभएको यो दोस्रो चिह्न‍ थियो ।
This was the second sign that Jesus did when he came out of Judea to Galilee.
