< John 4 >

1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
अब जब यूहन्‍नाले भन्‍दा येशूले धेरै चेलाहरू बनाउँदै हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो र बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो भनी फरिसीहरूले सुने भन्‍ने उहाँले थाहा गर्नुभयो,
2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
(यद्यपि येशू आफैँले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्‍नथ्यो, तर उहाँका चेलाहरूले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै थिए)
3 he left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
उहाँ यहूदिया छोडेर गालीलतिर जानुभयो ।
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
तर उहाँ सामरिया भएर जानु आवश्‍यक थियो ।
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
त्‍यसैले, उहाँ याकूबले आफ्नो छोरा योसेफलाई दिएका जग्‍गाको टुक्रा नजिक रहेको सामरियाको सुखार भनिने एउटा सहरमा आउनुभयो ।
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.
त्यहाँ याकूबको इनार थियो । येशू आफ्नो यात्राले थाक्‍नुभयो र इनारको छेउमा बस्‍नुभयो । यो छैठौँ घडीतिरको कुरा थियो ।
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
एक जना सामरी स्‍त्री पानी लिन आइन् र येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई पिउन थोरै पानी देऊ ।”
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
किनभने उहाँका चेलाहरू खानेकुरा किन्‍न सहरतिर गएका थिए ।
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.)
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 ।
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.
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 ।”
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?
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन्, “महाशय, तपाईंसित बाल्‍टिन छैन; इनार पनि गहिरो छ । अनि तपाईंसँग जिउँदो पानी कहाँ छ त?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
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?”
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्‍नुभयो, “हरेक जस‍ले यो पानी पिउँछ, त्यो फेरि तिर्खाउनेछ,
14 but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
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)
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, मलाई यो पानी दिनुहोस्, ताकि म फेरि तिर्खाउनेछैन र यहाँ पानी लिन आउनुपर्नेछैन ।”
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो लोग्‍नेलाई बोलाऊ, र यहाँ आऊ ।”
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन् र भनिन्, “मेरो लोग्‍ने छैन ।” येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “‘मेरो लोग्‍ने छैन’ भनी तिमीले साँचो भनेकी छ्यौ ।
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
किनकि तिम्रा पाँच जना लोग्‍ने भइसकेका छन् र अहिले भएको पनि तिम्रो लोग्‍ने होइन । तिमीले भनेकी कुरो साँचो हो ।”
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, तपाईं अगमवक्‍ता हुनुहुन्छ भनी म देख्‍छु ।
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले यही पर्वतमा आराधना गरे, तर मानिसहरूले आराधना गर्नुपर्ने स्‍थान यरूशलेम नै हो भनी तपाईंहरू भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।”
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हे नारी, मलाई विश्‍वास गर । समय आइरहेको छ, तिमीहरूले पितालाई न यो पर्वतमा न त यरूशलेममा नै आराधना गर्नेछौ ।
22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
तिमीहरूले जे जान्दैनौ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौ । हामी जे जान्दछौँ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौं, किनकि उद्धार यहूदीहरूबाट नै आउँछ ।
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.
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 ।
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
परमेश्‍वर आत्‍मा हुनुहुन्‍छ र उहाँलाई आराधना गर्ने मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई आत्‍मा र सत्‍यतामा आराधना गर्नुपर्छ ।”
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.
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “(ख्रीष्‍ट भनिने) मसीह आउँदै हुनुहुन्‍छ भन्‍ने मलाई थाहा छ, जब उहाँ आउनुहुन्‍छ, उहाँले हामीलाई सबै कुरा बताउनुहुनेछ ।”
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
येशूले त्यसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीसँग कुराकानी गरिरहने, म उही नै हुँ ।”
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?
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 ।
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,
त्‍यसैले, ती स्‍त्रीले आफ्नो गाग्रो छोडेर सहरतिर गइन् र मानिसहरूलाई भनिन्,
29 Come, see a man, who told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
“आओ, मैले गरेका सबै कुराहरू मलाई बताइदिनुहुने मानिसलाई हेर । उहाँ नै ख्रीष्‍ट हुन सक्छ, हुन सक्दैन त?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
तिनीहरू सहरबाट उहाँकहाँ आए ।
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
त्‍यसै बेला चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यसो भन्‍दै अनुरोध गरिरहेका थिए, “रब्‍बी, खानुहोस् ।”
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मसँग खानेकुरा छ जुन तिमीहरू जान्दैनौ ।”
33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
त्‍यसकारण, चेलाहरूले एक आपसमा भने, “उहाँलाई कुनै खानेकुरा कसैले ल्‍याएको छैन, ल्‍याएको छ र?”
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जसले मलाई पठाउनुभयो, उहाँको इच्‍छा र उहाँको काम पुरा गर्नु नै मेरो खानेकुरा हो ।
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.
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 ।
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)
जसले कटनी गर्छ, त्यसले ज्याला पाउँछ र अनन्‍त जीवनको निम्‍ति फल बटुल्‍छ, ताकि छर्ने र कटनी गर्ने सँगसँगै रमाउन सकून् । (aiōnios g166)
37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
किनकि एउटाले छर्छ र अर्काले कटनी गर्छ भन्‍ने यो भनाइ यसैमा साँचो छ ।
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.
तिमीहरूले काम नगरेका कुरा कटनी गर्न मैले तिमीहरूलाई पठाएँ । अरूहरूले काम गरेका छन्, र तिमीहरू उनीहरूका श्रममा प्रवेश गरेका छौ ।”
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.
“मैले गरेका सबै कुरा उहाँले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो” भनी स्‍त्रीले दिएको गवाहीले गर्दा त्‍यस सहरमा बसोबास गर्ने धेरै सामरीहरूले उहाँमा विश्‍वास गरे ।
40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
त्यसैले, जब सामरीहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूसँग बस्‍न आग्रह गरे र उहाँ त्‍यहाँ दुई दिन बस्‍नुभयो ।
41 And many more believed because of his word;
उहाँको वचनको कारणले गर्दा धेरै जनाले विश्‍वास गरे ।
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.
तिनीहरूले ती स्‍त्रीलाई भने, “तिमीले भनेकी कारणले हामी विश्‍वास गर्दैनौँ, किनकि हामी आफैँले सुनेका छौँ र हामी जान्दछौँ, कि उहाँ नै संसारका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्‍छ ।”
43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
दुई दिनपछि उहाँ त्‍यहाँबाट गालील प्रस्थान गर्नुभयो ।
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.
किनकि येशू आफैँले घोषणा गर्नुभयो, कि अगमवक्‍तालाई उसको आफ्नै गाउँमा आदर गरिँदैन ।
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.
जब उहाँ गालीलमा आउनुभयो, गालीलीहरूले उहाँलाई स्‍वागत गरे । यरूशलेमको चाडमा उहाँले गर्नुभएका सबै कुराहरू तिनीहरूले देखेका थिए, किनकि तिनीहरू पनि चाडमा गएका थिए ।
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.
अब उहाँले पानीलाई दाखमद्यमा परिणत गर्नुभएको गालीलको काना सहरमा उहाँ फेरि आउनुभयो । त्यहाँ एक जना राजकीय अधिकारी थिए जसको छोरा कर्फनहुममा बिरामी थिए ।
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.
जब येशू यहूदियाबाट गालील आउनुभएको तिनले सुने, तिनी येशूकहाँ गए र उहाँ आएर तिनका मर्न लागेका छोरालाई निको पारिदिनुहोस् भनी उहाँलाई बिन्‍ती गरे ।
48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
तब येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “चिह्न‍हरू र आश्‍चर्यकर्महरू नदेखेसम्‍म तिमीहरूले विश्‍वास गर्नेछैनौ ।”
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
ती अधिकारीले उहाँलाई भने, “महाशय, मेरो छोरो मर्नुअगावै आउनुहोस् ।”
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.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्‍छ ।” येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभएको वचन तिनले विश्‍वास गरे, र तिनी आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
तिनी जाँदै गर्दा, तिनका छोरो जीवित भए भन्दै तिनका नोकरहरूले तिनलाई भेटे ।
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.
यसकारण, उसको सुधार कति बेलादेखि भएको थियो भनी तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हिजो सातौँ घडीमा उसलाई ज्‍वरोले छोड्यो ।”
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.
त्‍यसपछि यो येशूले “तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्‍छ” भन्‍नुभएको घडी थियो भन्‍ने ती बुबाले महसुस गरे । यसकारण तिनी र तिनका आफ्ना सम्‍पूर्ण घरानाले विश्‍वास गरे ।
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judæa into Galilee.
येशू यहूदियाबाट गालीलमा आउँनुहुँदा उहाँले गर्नुभएको यो दोस्रो चिह्न‍ थियो ।
