John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Jesuh naw Johana kthaka Baptican jah pe lü, axüisaw hea jah pyangki tia mawng, Pharisee naw ngjakie.
2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
(Akcanga ta, Jesuh amät naw baptican am jah pe, axüisaw he naw ami jah peta kyaki),
3 he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Ami pyena mawng Jesuh naw a ngjak ja Judah khaw ceh ta lü, Kalile khaw da,
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
Samarih khaw sunpah lü cit yahki.
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
Jakop naw a capa Josep üng a peta khaw pei, Samarih khaw hne Sukhar mlüha pha lawki.
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.
Acuia Jakopa tuikhui veki. Jesuh lam a lawnak bawngbai lü, tuikhui peia ngawki. Acun cun mhnüp ngsunga kyaki.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Samarih nghnumi tui than khaia law se Jesuh naw, “Ka awk vai tui na pea,” a ti.
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
(Acun k'um üng, axüisaw he cun mlüh k’uma ei vai khyäi acun hea citkie.)
9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Samarih nghnumi naw, “Ihawkba, nang Judah khyang naw, kei Samarih nghnumia veia tui na awk vai na täeiki ni?” ti lü, a kthäh be. (Judah khyang mjüe cun Samarih khyangea eiawknak tuikhawt üng eiawk am thum na u.)
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.
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnam naw nang üng i ning pet hlüki ti am ksingki, u naw tui ning täeiki ti pi am ksingki. Na ksinga ta, angsäia xünnak tui ning pet vaia na na täei khai sü,” a ti.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
Nghnumi naw, “Saja aw, tuikhui thuki, vähnak vai tuipung pi am na taki. Hawia kaa xünnak tui na taki ni?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
“Hina tuikhui, amät naw aw khawi lü, a cae ja, a khyüngseie naw pi ami awk khawi, kami pu Jakop naw a jah pet, nang ania kthaka kyäp bawk aih lü,” a ti.
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Jesuh naw msang lü, “Hina tui awki naküt ta, tui cawi be ham khai.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
Nghnumi naw, “Saja aw, tui am cawi ti lü, tui than khaia hia käh ka law be ti vaia, acuna tui na pea,” a ti.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Jesuh naw, “Cita, na cei va khü lü, law bea,” a ti.
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
Nghnumi naw, “Ka cei am ve,” ti se, Jesuh naw, “Ka cei am ve na ti cang veki,
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
Na cei mhma ve pängki, tuh na vepüi pi na ceia am kya; acen üng akcang pyen veki,” a ti.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Nghnumi naw, “Saja aw, sahma mata na kya khaia ning ksing veng.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
“Kami pupae naw hina mcung üng Pamhnam a na hjawkhah khawikie. Nangmi Judahe naw, ‘Jerusalema ni Pamhnam hjawkhahnak’ nami tiki” a ti.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
Jesuh naw, “Nghnumi aw, ka pyen hin juma. Khyang he naw Pa cun ahina mcung ja Jerusalem mlüha am ami hjawkhahnak tia kcün pha law khai.
22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
“Nangmi Samarihe naw nami hjawkhah am ksing uki. Cunüngpi, keimi Judahe naw ta u kami hjawkhahki ti kami ksingki. Isetiakyaküng, küikyannak cun Judahe üngka naw lawkia kyaki.
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.
“Acunsepi, akcün pha law khai, hjawkhahkie naw Ngmüimkhya ja akcanga ami hjawkhah vai cun tukbäih yea kya ve. Pa naw acukba hjawkhah khaie jah hlüeiki.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
“Mhnam cun Ngmüimkhyaa kyaki. Hjawkhahki naküt naw Ngmüimkhya ja ngthungtak am hjawkhah yah vai,” a ti.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (which is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.
Nghnumi naw, “Mesijah law khai ti ka ksingki. Ani a law üng, ani naw ahmäi naküt jah mtheh law khai,” a ti.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
Jesuh naw, “Nang ning ngthuheipüiki hin ani ni,” a ti.
27 And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?
Acunüng axüisaw he law bekie naw nghnumi am a na ngthuhei se hmuh u lü müncankie. Acunsepi, u naw pi, “I na ngaihki? Ise hina nghnumi na ngthuheipüiki ni?” ti lü, am kthäh u.
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
Nghnumi naw a tui um hawih hüt lü, a lawnak khaw da citki naw khyange üng jah mtheh lü,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
“Law ua, ka awmih khawi naküt ksingkia khyang mat ve ve, teng law u. Mesijah am niki aw?” a ti.
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Mlüh ceh ta u lü, Jesuha veia citkie.
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Acun k'um üng axüisaw he naw, “Rabbi, na ei eia” ti lü, ami mtheh.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
Acunsepi Jesuh naw, “Nangmi naw am nami ksing ka ei vai ta veng,” a ti.
33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
Axüisawe amimät üng, “A ei vai tha lawki veki aw” ti lü, ngthähkie.
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Jesuh naw, “Na tüih lawkia a ngjak hlü bilawh ja, a khut kpäng vai cun keia eiawka kyaki ni.
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.
“‘Khya kphyü ve hamki, acun käna cang ahnaka kcün pha law khai’ am nami ti khawiki aw? Teng u, ka ning jah mthehki, mang hü u lü, loe jah teng süm ua, hmin päng lü, ah vai kcün ve u.
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)
“Atki naw ngkhyengnak yah lü anglät xünnak vaia a ktheipai mcun ve, sawki ja atki ani nghngih atänga je yüm khai xawi. (aiōnios g166)
37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
“Ahin üng, ‘mat naw saw se, mat naw atki’ tia khuisui cun cang ve.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.
“Am nami khüinak khawia loa cang at khaia ka ning jah tüihki. Acuia akce he naw khüi u se, ami khüinak kce cun nangmia ngmangnak ni,” a ti.
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.
Acunüng, “Ka awmih naküt ksingki ve ve,” tia, ngthu, nghnumi naw a pyena phäha Samarih khyang khawhah naw Jesuh jum lawkie.
40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
Samarih khyange Jesuh veia ami law üng ami veia a ve vaia nghui na u se, acuia Jesuh cun mhnüp nghngih awmki.
41 And many more believed because of his word;
Jesuh a ngthu pyena phäh khyang khawkän naw jum lawkie.
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.
Acunakyase, nghnumia veia, “Tuh ta, nanga pyena phäha am kya lü, kamimät naw kami ngjak ja akcanga hin hin khawmdeka Küikyan Bawia kyaki ti, kami ksinga phäha kami jumki,” ami ti.
43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
Amhnüp nghngih käna, acun üngka naw Kalile hne da citki.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Isetiakyaküng, Jesuh amät naw, “Sahma cun amäta hminaka khawa mhlünmtainak am yah khawi naw,” a ti.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
Jerusalem Lätnak Pawia cit u lü Pawi k’um üng Jesuh naw a jah pawhmsah naküt jah hmukie naw ta, Kalile khawa Jesuh a law üng, Kalile khyange naw dokhamkie.
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.
Acun käna Jesuh Kalile khaw Kana, tui cun capyituia a nglatnak sak hnüna law beki. Acuia khyang ngvai mat a capa Kapenawm mlüha a mhnatei veki.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea 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.
Ani naw Jesuh Judah khaw üngka naw Kalile khawa lawki ti a ngjak üng, a capa thih law hlüki, law lü a mdaw law be vaia cit lü a va nghuinak.
48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
Jesuh naw, “U naw pi müncanksee ja cäiletnake am nami hmuh üng amdanga am jum hlü uki,” a ti.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Khyang ngvai naw, “Saja aw, ka ca am a thih ham üng akjanga lawa,” a ti.
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.
Jesuh naw, “Cit bea, na capa daw be khai ni,” a ti. Khyang ngvai cun Jesuha pyen jum lü nghlat beki.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
A nghlat be lama a mpyae naw a na khyum u lü, “Na capa dawei law be ve,” ti lü, ami mtheh.
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.
Ngvai naw iti üng a capa a daw law bea mawng jah kthäh se, amimi naw, “Müta, mü lam naji mat üng mhnat naw khyah ve,” ti lü, ami mtheh.
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.
Jesuh naw, “Na capa daw be khai ni,” a tinaka kcüna kyaki ti a ksing. Acunakyase, amät ja a khuiim kyawnglawng ami van naw jumkie.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Ahin cun Jesuh Judah khaw üngka naw Kalile khawa a law käna anghngihnak müncankse a pawha kyaki.
