Johan 4
1 Jesuh loh Johan lakah hnukbang muep a khueh tih a nuem te Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh tila Jesuh loh a ming.
Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism
2 Tedae Jesuh amah long ngawn moenih, a hnukbang rhoek long ni a nuem.
(Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),
3 Judea te pak a hlah tih Galilee la koep cet.
He went out of Judaea into Galilee again.
4 Te vaengah Samaria te a hil phai ham a kuek.
And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
5 Te dongah Sychar la a khue Samaria kho puei kah Jakob loh a capa Joseph a paek khohmuen taeng te a pha.
So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
6 Teah te Jakob tuisih om. Te vaengah Jesuh tah yincaehnah lamloh thakthae tih tuisih taengah ngol.
Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Khonoek parhuk tluk a lo vaengah Samaria nu tah tui than la ha pawk. Anih te Jesuh loh, “Ok ham kai m'pae lah,” a ti nah.
A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.
8 Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek tah kho khuiah caak lai hamla cet uh.
For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.
9 Te dongah amah te Samaria nu loh, “Nang tah Judah hlang la aka om loh balae tih Samaria nu la aka om kai taengah ok ham te nan bih,” a ti nah. Judah rhoek neh Samaria rhoek he a doca uh moenih.
The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.
10 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Pathen kah kutdoe neh nang taengah aka cal te unim tila na ming koinih amah taengah ok ham kai pae lah,’ tila na bih sui tih tui hing nang m'paek suidae,” a ti nah.
In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.
11 Huta loh anih te, “Saya, tuiduen khaw na khueh pawh, tuito khaw a dung la om. Melam kah tui hing nim, na khueh tih?
The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water?
12 A pa Jakob lakah tanglue la na om pawtnim? Tuito he amah loh kaimih m'paek tih he lamkah te amah long khaw, a ca rhoek neh a saelhung long khaw a ok,” a ti nah.
Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?
13 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “He kah tui aka o boeih tah koep hal ni.
Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:
15 Amah te huta loh, “Saya, te tui te kai m'pae lah. Te daengah ni tui ka hal pawt vetih tuithan la ka pawk pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.
16 Amah te, “Cet, na va te khue lamtah hela ha lo,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.
17 Huta loh a doo tih, “Va ka khueh moenih,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh anih te, “Va ka khueh pawh balh na ti.
In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:
18 Va panga na khueh coeng dae tahae kah na khueh te na va la a om moenih, oltak te thui saw,” a ti nah.
You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.
19 Huta loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, nang tah tonghma ni tila kan hmat coeng.
The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
20 A pa rhoek loh hekah tlang ah bawk uh. Tedae nangmih long tah Jerusalem kah aka om hmuen ah te a bawk ham a kuek na ti uh,” a ti nah.
Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.
21 Jesuh loh anih te, “Huta aw, kai he n'tangnah lah. Tekah a tue ha pawk vaengah hekah tlang pawt ah khaw, Jerusalem pawt ah khaw pa te na bawk uh bitni.
Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 Nangmih loh na bawk uh te na ming uh pawh. Kaimih tah ka bawk uh te ka minguh. Khangnah khaw Judah rhoek lamkah ni a om.
You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Tedae a tue ha pai tih om coeng. Bawkkung taktak rhoek long tah pa te Mueihla neh oltak dongah a bawk uh ni. Amah aka bawk rhoek van te ni pa loh a toem.
But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.
24 Pathen tah Mueihla ni. Te dongah amah aka bawk loh mueihla neh oltak ah bawk ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.
25 Amah te huta loh, “Khrih la a khue Messiah te ha pawk tila ka ming. Te te ha pawk vaengah soeprhaep boeih te kaimih taengah ha puen ni,” a ti nah.
The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.
26 Jesuh loh anih te, “Te tah nang taengah aka cal kamah ni,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he.
27 Te vaengah te a hnukbang rhoek te ha pawk uh tih huta taengah a cal te a ngaihmang uh. Tedae, “Balae na toem tih balae tih anih te na voek?” ti na uh pawh.
At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?
28 Te dongah huta loh a amrhaeng te a toeng tih kho khuila cet.
Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town, and said to the people,
29 Te phoeiah a hlang rhoek te, “Halo uh lah, ka saii boeih aka thui hlang te so uh lah. Anih tah Khrih la om pawtnim?” a ti nah.
Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?
30 Te dongah khopuei lamloh cet uh tih amah te a paan uh.
So they went out of the town and came to him.
31 Te rhuet ah amah te hnukbang rhoek loh a dawt uh tih, “Rhabbi, ca laeh saw,” a ti nauh.
While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.
32 Tedae amih te, “Kai loh caak ham caak ka khueh te na ming uh moenih,” a ti nah.
But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.
33 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amamih te, “Khat khat loh a caak koi khuen pah pawtnim,” a ti uh.
So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?
34 Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai aka tueih kah kongaih saii ham neh amah kah bibi coeng ham te kai kah cakok la om.
Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.
35 Nangmih loh, ' Cangah pha ham hlali om pueng tila na ti uh moenih a? Nangmih taengah ka thui, na mik te dai uh lamtah dan uh, hmuenlung te cangaeng neh cangah ham om coeng ke.
You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.
36 Aka at loh thapang a dang tih dungyan hingnah dongah cangthaih a coi coeng. Te daengah ni aka tuh neh aka at loh thikat la a omngaih eh. (aiōnios g166)
He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Hekah ol tah oltak pai ni. Aka tuh khaw a tloe, aka at khaw a tloe la om pai.
In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.
38 Kai loh cangat la nangmih kan tueih te na thakthae moenih, a tloe rhoek tah thakthaeuh. Te dongah amih kah thakthaenah khuiah na kun uh coeng,” a ti nah.
I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.
39 Huta loh, “Ka saii boeih te kamah taengah a thui coeng, “tila ol a phong. Te dongah kho khui lamkah Samaria rhoek loh Jesuh te muep a tangnah uh.
Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.
40 Te dongah Samaria rhoek loh amah taengla a pawk uh vaengah amah te amih taengah rhaeh sak ham a bih uh dongah hnin nit pahoi rhaeh.
So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.
41 Te vaengah a ol aka tangnah khaw taoe yet.
And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.
42 Te phoeiah huta te, “Na olcal dongah ka tangnah uh pawt dae kaimih loh ka yaak uh daengah ni he tah Diklai kah khangkung la om tangtang tila ka ming uh,” a ti nauh.
And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.
43 Hnin nit phoeiah te lamloh Galilee la cet.
And after the two days he went on from there into Galilee.
44 Tonghma loh amah tolrhum ah hinyahnah a dang pawt te khaw Jesuh amah loh a phong coeng.
For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth.
45 Khotue vaengkah Jerusalem ah a saii boeih te a hmuh uh. Amih khaw khotue te a paan uh. Te dongah Galilee la ha pawk vaengah tah Galilee rhoek loh amah a doe uh.
So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast — they themselves having been there at the feast.
46 Te dongah Galilee kah Kana la koep pawk. Te ah ni tui khaw misurtui la a saii. Te vaengah Kapernaum ah capa aka tlo rhalboei pakhat te ana om.
So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.
47 Judea lamloh Galilee la Jesuh a pawk te anih loh a yaak vaengah a taeng la cet tih, “Duek hamla aka om a capa te hoeih sak ham ha suntla dae,” tila a bih.
When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.
48 Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te, “Miknoek neh khobae rhambae na hmuh uh pawt atah na tangnah uh tlaih pawh,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus said to him, You will not have faith if you do not see signs and wonders.
49 Rhalboei loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, ka capa te a duek hlan ah ha suntla dae,” a ti nah.
The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.
50 Jesuh loh anih te, “Cet laeh, na capa te hing coeng,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh anih taengah a thui olka te a tangnah dongah tekah hlang khaw cet.
And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.
51 A suntlak neh anih te a sal rhoek loh oepsoeh la a doe uh tih a capa a hing pah te a thui pauh.
And while he was going down, his servants came to him and said, Your boy is living.
52 Te dongah a then la a om nah a tue te amih taengah a cae. Te vaengah, “Hlaem khonoek parhih vaengah a satloh loh a hlah,” a ti nauh.
So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.
53 Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te, “Na capa te hing coeng,” a ti nah vaeng kah a tue te te vaeng ah ni tila ana pa loh a ming dongah amah neh a im pum loh a tangnah uh.
It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.
54 He he Judea lamkah loh Galilee la ha pawk vaengah Jesuh loh koep a saii a miknoek pabae ni.
Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.
