Yuhana 4
1 Na Yesu wa yinin a Farisawa nmal lanzu ame din sesu nnono katwa gbardan a ashinto nani nmyen, ikata nin Yuhana,
Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (kona ame Yesu nin litimaere wa shintu anite nmyene ba, non katwa mere wa suzu),
(Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),
3 awa sun u Yahudiya a nya udu u Galili.
he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.
4 Uni wasoghe gbas akata nanya in Samariya.
He had to pass through Samaria,
5 Amini wa dak nkan kipin in Samariye, idin yiccu kinin Sacer, susut nin kunen kongo na Yakub wani usaune Yusufu.
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 Kuwu nmyen Yakubu wadi kite, Yesu wa dira nin cin me a so kupo kuwe. Uwui wadi umal dak ati.
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 Umong uwanin Samariya da nda tiwu nmyen, Yesu woroghe, “Filli nmyen nsono.”
A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her – ‘Give me some to drink,’
8 Bara nono katwa me wa do nseru nimoli nanya kipin.
For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food.
9 Uwana Samariya tunna aworoghe, “Inyizari nta fe Kuyahudawa, udin tiru menku, uwani Nasamariyawa nmyen sonu?” Bara na Ayahudawa din su ligo nan Nasamariyawa ba.
‘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 Yesu kwaghe aworo, “Ndaeo uyiru Kutelle nin lenge na aworofi filli nmyen nsonu fe wa tiringhe anifi nmyen nlai.”
‘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 Uwane kawaghe, “Cikilari, na udinin guga ntiweba, a kuwu nmyene kongo cancom, fe ma se nmyen nlaiye nweri?
‘You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep,’ she said. ‘Where did you get that “living water?”
12 Fe katin Ucif bite ku Yakube, na ana ni nari kuwe ame wang na soku umunu nono nin nina me?”
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 Yesu kawaghe aworo, “vat nnit ulenge na asono mongo nmyene ama kuru a lanza ukotu nayi tutung,
‘All who drink of this water,’ replied Jesus, ‘will be thirsty again;
15 Uwani une woroghe, “Cikilari, nai nmyen mono bara nwa kuru nlaza ukotu nayi nda tutung nda tiya nmyen.”
‘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 Yesu woroghe, “Can udi yicila ulesfe isa kikane ligowe.”
‘Go and call your husband,’ said Jesus, ‘and then come back.’
17 Uwane kawa aworghe, “Na ndinin les ba,”Yesu kawaghe, “Ubele dert, 'na ndi nin les ba,'
‘I have no husband,’ answered the woman. ‘You are right in saying “I have no husband,”’ replied Jesus,
18 bara umal ti ales ataun, a ame ulenge na udi ninghe nene na ulesfere ba! Nanya nle ulire na ubelle kidegenere!”
‘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 Uwane woroghe, “Cikilari, in yinno fe unan liru nin nu Kutelle ari.
‘I see, Sir, that you are a prophet!’ exclaimed the woman.
20 A Cifbit na suzu usujada likup longone, anung ani din su Urushalimari kiti kanga na ki do tissu usujada ku.”
‘It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshiped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.’
21 Yisa kawaghe, “Uwani, yinna nin mi, kubi din cinnu kongo na ima su Ucif usujada na likup longone ba sa in Urshalima ba.
‘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 Anughe din su ulenge na iyirughe ba usajada. Arik din su ulenge na tiyirughari usujada, bara utucu nnuzu kiti na Yahudawari.
You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Vat nani, kubi din cinnu, kuda nene wang, na anan sujada kidegene ma zazinu Ucife nanya Nruhu nin kidegen, bara Ucif di piziru nimus nanit anere isughe usujada.
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 Kutelle Uruhuari, inung anit alenge na idin sughe usujada ma sughe nanya Ruhu nin kidegen.”
God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly.’
25 Uwane woroghe, “Meng yiru unan tuccu din cinu” (ulenge na idin yicughe Kristi). Asa a da, ama punu nari imone vat.”
‘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 Yesu woroghe, “Menghe, na ndin lire, mere ame”
‘I am he,’ Jesus said to her, ‘I who am speaking to you.’
27 Nkoni kubere nono katwa me kpilla. I yita nkpilu nibinayi mine inyizari adin liru nin wani, vat nani na umong nworoghe inyaghari udin pizure? Sa, “In yaghari nta udin liru ninghe?”
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 Uwane tunna a suna lidul nmyene, a kpilla ucin du na kipine, a woro nanite,
So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people,
29 “Dan, ida yene unit ulenge na a belli vat nimon ilenge na nna mosu. Na amere ma yitu Kriste ba, sa amere?”
‘Come and see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?’
30 Inuzu nanya kipine, ida kitime.
And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.
31 Nanya kube, nono katwa me sughe cikusu, I woro “Unan dursuzu niyerti, leo imonmon.”
Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him, ‘Take something to eat, Rabbi.’
32 Ana woro nani, “Ndi nin nimonli na nmal lii ilenge na anung yiru mun ba.”
‘I have food to eat,’ he answered, ‘of which you know nothing.’
33 Nono katwawe tunna tiru nati mine, “Sa umong da naghe imon nliari?”
‘Can anyone have brought him anything to eat?’ the disciples said to one another.
34 Yesu woro nani, “Imonli nighe innare nsu katwa ilenge na ana tuyi, in malu kanin tutun.
‘My food,’ replied Jesus, ‘is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 Na idin su, 'Ngisin tipui tinas cas ugirbi nin dak ba?' Meng ndin bellu minu, fyan iyizi iyene anene, amal yini adin ca ngirbi!
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 Ame ulenge na adin su ugirbe adin sesu ulada, akuru a pitiro ileo nlai nsa ligang, bara ame ulenge na adin su tibila nin nan girbe na su liburi libo ligowe. (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 Nanere ubellu une di kidegen, umong din bilsu, a umong su ugirbi.
For here the proverb holds good – “One sows, another reaps.”
38 Nto minu idi su ugirbi katwa ka na ina su ba. Amonghari nasu katwawe, anung atimine ani npira nanya katwa mine.”
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 Gbardang na Samariyawa nanya kipin kane yina ninghe bara uliru nwane, ame ulenge na awa woro, “A belli vat nimon ilenge na nna malusue.”
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 Kube na a Samariyawe wa dak kitime, iwa sughe kucukusu aso nan ghinu, amini wa ti ayiri aba ku.
And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
41 Among gbardang yina bara uliru me.
But far more came to believe in him because of what he said himself,
42 Inin belle uwane, tiyina na bara ulirufe cas ba, bara arik nlaza nin nati bite, nene ti yinno ulengenere unan tucu inyee.”
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 Kimal nayiri abane, awa sun kikane ucin u G alili.
After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;
44 Bara ame Yesu litime wa bellin na unan liru nin nu Kutelle di gogon nanya kagbiri me ba.
for he himself declared that “a prophet is not honoured in his own country.”
45 Na awa piru u Galili, anan Galile sereghe. Bara iwa yene umone na asu vat in Urshalima kitin buke, inung wang wa do kitin buke.
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 Tutung amini wa dak u Kan'ana in Galili, ki kanga na awa kpilya nmyen miso nmyen narauwe. Umong Ugo udya ulenge na usaune wadi nin konu nanya in Kafarnahum.
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 Na awa lanza Yesu nmal sunnu u Yahudiya a kpila u Galili, ado kiti Yesu a sughe kucukusu a doffinghe ada shin nin saune, na awa cinu uku.
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 Yesu tuna aworoghe, “Anung anit andi na iyene adu azikiki ba, na ima yinnu ba.”
Jesus answered, ‘Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe.’
49 Ugo une woroghe, “Cikalari dacari a gono nighe dutu sa uku.”
‘Sir,’ said the officer, ‘come down before my child dies.’ And Jesus answered, ‘Go, your son is living.’
50 Yesu woroghe nenge, “Cang. Usaun fe shino.” Unite yina nin lirue na Yesu nbelleghe, atunna a nyaghe.
The man believed what Jesus said to him, and went;
51 Kube na awadin tole, acinme zuroghe, ibellighe usaune shino.
and, while he was on his way down, his servants met him, and told him that his child was living.
52 A tunna a tirino nani kube na acizina ushine. I kawaghe. Nleng nin nikoro kuzorari ukone na sughe.
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 Uciffe tunna ayinno nin kono kubere Yesu na woroghe, “Usaunfe nshino.” Ame litime nin kilari me vat yinna.
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 Imon izikiki in bari ine na Yesu wasu tun na ana sun u Yahudiya udu u Galili.
This was the second occasion on which Jesus gave a sign of his mission on coming from Judea to Galilee.
