John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Ugbu a, Jisọs matara na ndị Farisii anụla na ọ na-eme ka ọtụtụ mmadụ bụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na-emekwa baptizim karịa Jọn.
2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
Ma ọ bụkwaghị Jisọs na onwe ya na-eme baptizim kama ọ bụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya mere ha baptizim.
3 he left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
Ọ hapụrụ Judịa laghachi azụ na Galili.
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
Ma ọ ga-esite nʼetiti Sameria gafee.
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
Ya mere, ọ batara nʼotu obodo nta dị na Sameria a na-akpọ Saika, nʼakụkụ ala ahụ Jekọb nyere Josef nwa ya nwoke.
6 and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Olulu mmiri Jekọb dị nʼebe ahụ, ma ebe ọ bụ na ike gwụrụ Jisọs nʼije ya, ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼakụkụ olulu mmiri ahụ. Ọ bụ ihe dị ka oge ehihie.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Otu nwanyị onye Sameria bịara ịdọrọ mmiri, Jisọs sịrị ya, “Nyetụ m mmiri ka m ṅụọ.”
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
(Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya abaala nʼime obodo ịga zụta nri.)
9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Olee otu gị bụ onye Juu si arịọ m bụ nwanyị Sameria mmiri ka ị ṅụọ?” (Nʼihi na ndị Juu na ndị Sameria anaghị emekọrịta ihe ọbụla.)
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Jisọs zara sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị matara onyinye Chineke, na onye ahụ na-arịọ gị mmiri, ị gaara arịọ ya, ọ gakwara enye gị mmiri nke ndụ.”
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?
Nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Nna anyị ukwu, o nweghị ihe ọbụla i ji ị ga-eji dọrọ mmiri, olulu a dịkwa omimi. Oleekwanụ ebe ị ga-eweta mmiri ndụ a.
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Ọ bụ na ị ka nna nna anyị Jekọb ukwuu, onye gwuuru anyị olulu mmiri a? Ya onwe ya na ụmụ ya na igwe ehi na atụrụ ya ṅụkwara mmiri sitere na ya?”
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Jisọs zara sị, “Onye ọbụla ṅụrụ mmiri a, akpịrị ga-akpọ ya nkụ ọzọ.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
Mgbe ahụ nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị nye m mmiri a, ka akpịrị ghara ịkpọ m nkụ ọzọ, ka m gharakwa ịdị na-abịa ebe a ịdọrọ mmiri.”
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Ọ gwara ya sị, “Gaa kpọta di gị ma lọghachi.”
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
Nwanyị ahụ zaghachiri ya sị, “Enweghị m dị.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “I kwuru eziokwu mgbe ị sịrị na i nweghị di.
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
I nweela di ise, ma nwoke gị na ya bi ugbu a abụghị di gị. Ihe kwuru bụ nnọọ eziokwu.”
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya “Nna anyị ukwu, ahụrụ m na ị bụ onye amụma.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Nna nna anyị ha fere ofufe nʼugwu a, ma unu na-ekwu nʼebe ndị mmadụ ga-eferịrị ofufe bụ naanị na Jerusalem.”
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Nwanyị kwere okwu m, oge na-abịa mgbe ị na-agaghị akpọ isiala nye Nna, maọbụ nʼugwu a ma ọ bụkwanụ na Jerusalem.
22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Unu na-efe ihe unu na-amaghị ma anyị na-efe ihe anyị matara, nʼihi na nzọpụta sitere nʼaka ndị Juu.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
Ma oge na-abịa, ugbu a ọ bịala, mgbe ndị na-efe Nna ahụ nʼeziokwu ga-efe ya nʼime mmụọ na nʼeziokwu. Nʼihi na ọ bụ ndị dị otu a ka Nna chọrọ ka ha na-efe ya.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Chineke bụ mmụọ ndị niile na-efe ya ga-eferịrị ya nʼime mmụọ na eziokwu.”
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.
Nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Amaara m na Mezaya” (onye a na-akpọ Kraịst) “na-abịa. Mgbe ọ bịara, ọ ga-akọwaziri anyị ihe niile.”
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Mụ, onye na-agwa gị okwu, abụ m ya.”
27 And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?
Nʼoge ahụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya lọghachitara. Ọ gbagwojukwara ha anya nke ukwuu ịhụ na ya na nwanyị na-ekwurịta okwu. Ma o nweghị onye nʼime ha jụrụ nwanyị ahụ sị, “Gịnị ka ị chọrọ?” ma ọ bụkwanụ, “Gịnị kpatara gị na ya ji na-ekwurịta okwu?”
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,
Mgbe ahụ, nwanyị ahụ hapụrụ ite mmiri ya laghachi nʼime obodo ga gwa ndị mmadụ,
29 Come, see a man, who told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
“Bịanụ lee otu nwoke onye gwara m ihe niile m merela. Ọ ga-abụ na ọ bụ ya bụ Kraịst ahụ?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Ha sitere nʼobodo ahụ gbapụtasịa soro ụzọ ahụ, ka ha gakwuru ya.
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Ma otu ọ dị, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya rịọrọ ya sị, “Onye ozizi rienụ nri.”
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Enwere m nri m na-eri nke unu na-amaghị maka ya.”
33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
Mgbe ahụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sịrịtara onwe ha, “Ọ ga-abụ na o nwere onye butere ya nri?”
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nri m bụ ime uche onye ahụ zitere m nakwa ịrụcha ọrụ ya.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.
Unu na-asị, ‘ọ fọdụghị ọnwa anọ ka ịghọ mkpụrụ nʼubi ruo?’ Ma ana m agwa unu, megheenụ anya unu lee ubi ahụ, ha achaala maka ọghụghọ.
36 He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Ọ bụladị ugbu a, onye na-aghọ mkpụrụ na-anata ụgwọ ọrụ, ọ na-achịkọta mkpụrụ ahụ maka ndụ ebighị ebi, ka onye ghara mkpụrụ na onye ghọrọ ya nwee ike ịṅụrịkọta ọṅụ. (aiōnios g166)
37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Ya mere okwu ahụ nke na-asị, ‘Otu onye na-agha mkpụrụ, onye ọzọ na-aghọkwa ya bụ eziokwu.’
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.
E zigara m unu ka unu gaa ghọta ihe unu na-arụghị ọrụ maka ya. Ndị ọzọ rụrụ ọrụ a, ma unu ewe uru dị nʼọrụ ha.”
39 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that [ever] I did.
Ọtụtụ ndị obodo Sameria kweere na ya nʼihi ama ahụ nwanyị ahụ gbara, “Ọ gwara m ihe niile m mere.”
40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
Ya mere mgbe ndị Sameria bịakwutere ya, ha rịọrọ ya ka ọ nọnyetụrụ ha, ọ nọnyekwaara ha ụbọchị abụọ.
41 And many more believed because of his word;
Ọtụtụ ndị ọzọ kwerekwara na ya nʼihi okwu ya.
42 and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
Ha gwara nwanyị ahụ, “Ihe anyị jiri kwere ugbu a abụghị ihe i kwuru, kama ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị onwe anyị anụla olu ya, matakwa na onye a bụ Onye nzọpụta nke ụwa nʼeziokwu.”
43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
Mgbe ụbọchị abụọ ahụ gasịrị, ọ hapụrụ ebe ahụ gawa Galili.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.
(Jisọs nʼonwe ya ekwuola na onye amụma anaghị enwe ugwu nʼobodo ya.)
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
Mgbe ọ bịaruru Galili, ndị Galili nabatara ya ebe ha onwe ha gara mmemme na Jerusalem, ma hụkwa ọtụtụ ọrụ ebube ọ rụrụ nʼoge mmemme ahụ.
46 He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Ọzọkwa, ọ bịaruru Kena nke Galili bụ ebe ahụ o mere mmiri ka ọ ghọọ mmanya. E nwekwara otu onye na-arụ ọrụ nʼụlọeze nọ nʼebe ahụ, nke ahụ na-adịghị nwa ya nwoke ike na Kapanọm.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought [him] that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
Mgbe ọ nụrụ na Jisọs esitela na Judịa bịarute na Galili, o jekwuuru ya rịọ ya ka ọ bịa gwọọ nwa ya, nʼihi na ọ nọ nʼọnụ ọnwụ.
48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na unu ahụghị ọrụ ebube na ihe ịrịbama, unu agaghị ekwe ma ọlị.”
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Onye a na-arụ ọrụ nʼụlọeze sịrị ya, “Nna m ukwu, biko bịa tupu nwa m a nwụọ.”
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Laa, nwa gị nwoke ga-adị ndụ.” Nwoke ahụ kweere nʼihe Jisọs kwuru laa.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
Mgbe ọ ka nọ nʼụzọ, ndị ohu ya zutere ya kọọrọ ya na ahụ adịla nwa ya nwoke mma.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
Mgbe ọ jụrụ ha oge nwa ya jiri gbakee, ha sịrị ya, “Oke ahụ ọkụ ahụ kwụsịrị ya ụnyaahụ nʼelekere mbụ nke ehihie.”
53 So the father knew that [it was] at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
Nwoke ahụ ghọtara na ọ bụ kpomkwem nʼoge awa ahụ Jisọs gwara ya, “Nwa gị nwoke ga-adị ndụ.” Ya mere ya na ezinaụlọ ya niile kwenyere.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judæa into Galilee.
Nke a bụ ihe ịrịbama nke abụọ Jisọs rụrụ na Galili mgbe o siri Judịa bịa.
