John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Ut ergo cognovit Iesus quia audierunt Pharisæi quod Iesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Ioannes,
2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
(quamquam Iesus non baptizaret, sed discipuli eius)
3 he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
reliquit Iudæam, et abiit iterum in Galilæam.
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
oportebat autem eum transire per Samariam.
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
Venit ergo in civitatem Samariæ, quæ dicitur Sichar: iuxta prædium, quod dedit Iacob Ioseph filio suo.
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.
Erat autem ibi fons Iacob. Iesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere, sedebat sic supra fontem. Hora erat quasi sexta.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Iesus: Da mihi bibere.
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
(Discipuli enim eius abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.)
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.)
Dicit ergo ei mulier illa Samaritana: Quomodo tu Iudæus cum sis, bibere a me poscis, quæ sum mulier Samaritana? non enim coutuntur Iudæi Samaritanis.
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.
Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Si scires donum Dei, et quis est, qui dicit tibi: Da mihi bibere: tu forsitan petisses ab eo, et dedisset tibi aquam vivam.
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?
Dicit ei mulier: Domine, neque in quo haurias habes, et puteus altus est: unde ergo habes aquam vivam?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Iacob, qui dedit nobis puteum, et ipse ex eo bibit, et filii eius, et pecora eius?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Omnis, qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum:
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
Dicit ad eum mulier: Domine, da mihi hanc aquam, ut non sitiam: neque veniam huc haurire.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc.
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
Respondit mulier, et dixit: Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Iesus: Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum:
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
quinque enim viros habuisti, et nunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir: hoc vere dixisti.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Dicit ei mulier: Domine, video quia Propheta es tu.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Ierosolymis est locus, ubi adorare oportet.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
Dicit ei Iesus: Mulier crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Ierosolymis adorabitis Patrem.
22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
Vos adoratis quod nescitis: nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Iudæis est.
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.
Sed venit hora, et nunc est, quando veri adoratores adorabunt Patrem in spiritu et veritate. Nam et Pater tales quærit, qui adorent eum.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Spiritus est Deus: et eos qui adorant eum, in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare.
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.
Dicit ei mulier: Scio quia Messias venit, (qui dicitur Christus.) cum ergo venerit ille, nobis annunciabit omnia.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
Dicit ei Iesus: Ego sum, qui loquor tecum.
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?
Et continuo venerunt discipuli eius: et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur. Nemo tamen dixit: Quid quæris, aut quid loqueris cum ea?
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus:
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
Venite, et videte hominem, qui dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci: numquid ipse est Christus?
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Exierunt ergo de civitate, et veniebant ad eum.
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Interea rogabant eum discipuli, dicentes: Rabbi, manduca.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
Ille autem dicit eis: Ego cibum habeo manducare, quem vos nescitis.
33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem: Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Dicit eis Iesus: Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem eius, qui misit me, ut perficiam opus eius.
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.
Nonne vos dicitis, quod adhuc quattuor menses sunt, et messis venit? Ecce dico vobis: Levate oculos vestros, et videte regiones, quia albæ sunt iam ad messem.
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)
Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam æternam: ut, et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit. (aiōnios g166)
37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
In hoc enim est verbum verum: quia alius est qui seminat, et alius est qui metit.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.
Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis: alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis.
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.
Ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum, propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis: Quia dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci.
40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
Cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani, rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret. Et mansit ibi duos dies.
41 And many more believed because of his word;
Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem eius.
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.
Et mulieri dicebant: Quia iam non propter tuam loquelam credimus: ipsi enim audivimus, et scimus quia hic est vere Salvator mundi.
43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
Post duos autem dies exiit inde: et abiit in Galilæam.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Ipse enim Iesus testimonium perhibuit quia Propheta in sua patria honorem non habet.
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.
Cum ergo venisset in Galilæam, exceperunt eum Galilæi, cum omnia vidissent quæ fecerat Ierosolymis in die festo: et ipsi enim venerant ad diem festum.
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.
Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilææ, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cuius filius infirmabatur Capharnaum.
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.
Hic cum audisset quia Iesus adveniret a Iudæa in Galilæam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium eius: incipiebat enim mori.
48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
Dixit ergo Iesus ad eum: Nisi signa, et prodigia videritis, non creditis.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Dicit ad eum regulus: Domine, descende prius quam moriatur filius meus.
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.
Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni, quem dixit ei Iesus, et ibat.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
Iam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nunciaverunt dicentes, quia filius eius viveret.
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.
Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis, in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei: Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris.
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.
Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat, in qua dixit ei Iesus: Filius tuus vivit: et credidit ipse, et domus eius tota.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Iesus, cum venisset a Iudæa in Galilæam.
