John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Vafalisayu vayuwini kuvya Yesu avi mukupata vawuliwa vamahele na kuvabatiza kuliku Yohani.
2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
Ndi chakaka kuvya Yesu mwene abatiza lepi, nambu vawuliwa vaki ndi vevabatizayi vandu.
3 he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Hinu Yesu peagayuwini genago, akawuka ku Yudea na kuwuya ku Galilaya.
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
Mulugendu lwenulo yamganili kuvedukila kumulima wa Samaliya.
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
Ndi peahikili muji umonga pamulima wa Samaliya weukemiwa Sikali, papipi na mgunda wa Yakobo weampelilli mwana waki, mweikemiwa Yosefu.
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.
Pandu penapo pavi na chiliva cha Yakobo, na Yesu ndava ya kutotokela na lugendu, akatama pamuhana ya chiliva. Yavili ngati lukumbi lwa muhi.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Kangi, akabwela mdala mmonga mkolonjinji wa ku Samaliya kunega manji. Yesu akamjovela, “Nipelayi manji ninywayi.”
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
Lukumbi lwenulo vawuliwa vaki vahambili kumuji kugula chakulya.
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.)
Nambu mdala yula akamjovela, “Veve wa Myawudi, na nene namdala msamaliya! Uhotola wuli kuniyupa manji?” Muni Vayawudi na Vasamaliya katu vitama lepi pamonga.
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.
Yesu akamyangula, “Ngati kuvya umanyayi chindu chechiwusiwa na Chapanga ndi yani mweakukujovela, ‘nipelayi manji ninywai,’ Ngawamali, kumuyupa manji gegileta wumi.”
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?
Mdala yula akamjovela, “Bambu, veve wangali ndeve ya kunegela manji, na chiliva chinyoliki. Ugapata koki manji gegavi na wumi?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Wu, veve ukujikita wa mkulu kuliku dadi witu Yakobo? Mwene ndi mweatipelili chiliva ichi, mwene na vana vaki pamonga na mifuya yaki vanywayi manji ga chiliva ichi.”
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Yesu akamyangula, “Yoyoha mweinywa manji aga yati ivya na njota kavili.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
Mdala mwenuyo akamjovela, “Bambu, unipela manji genago muni nikotoka kuvya na njota kavili na nikotoka kubwela penapa kunega manji.”
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Yesu akamjovela, “Uhamba ukamkemela mngwana waku, ubwela nayu penapa.”
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
Mdala yula akayangula, “Nene nangali mgosi.” Yesu akamjovela “Uyangwili chakaka, wangali mgosi.
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
Muni wavi na vagosi mhanu, na mgosi mweutama nayu hinu mgosi waku lepi. Penapo ujovili chakaka.”
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Mdala yula akamjovela, “Bambu, niwona kuvya veve wa mlota wa Chapanga.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Vagogo vitu vamufugamila Chapanga kuchitumbi ichi, nambu nyenye mwijova kuvya pandu pa kumuyupila Chapanga ndi ku Yelusalemu.”
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
Yesu akamjovela “Unisadika chenijova lwalabwela lukumbi nakumfugamila Dadi, panani ya chitumbi amala ku Yelusalemu kula.
22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
Nyenye Vasamaliya mukumfugamila yula mwangammanya, nambu tete tikumfugamila yula mwetimumanyili, ndava muni usangula wihuma kwa Vayawudi.
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.
Nambu lukumbi lubwela, kangi lumali kubwela ndi vala vandu vevakumfugamila kwa uchakaka, yati vamfugamila Dadi mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi na chakaka. Muni dadi akuvagana vandu vamfugamila chenicho.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Chapanga ndi Mpungu na vandu vevamfugamila yikuvagana vamfugamila Dadi mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi na kuumanya uchakaka.”
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.
Mdala yula akamjovela, “Nimanyili kuvya Msangula mweikemiwa Kilisitu ibwela. Peibwela yati akutimanyisa tete kila chindu.”
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
Yesu akamjovela, “Nene mwenilongela na veve ndi mwene.”
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?
Bahapo vawuliwa vaki vakawuya, na kukangasa neju pavamuweni ilongela na mdala. Nambu kawaka mundu mweajovili, “Ugana kyani?” Amala, “Ndava kyani wilongela na mdala?”
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
Hinu, mdala yula akachileka chihulu chaki palapala na kuhamba kumuji na kuvajovela vandu,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
“Mbwela mukamlola mundu mweanijovili mambu goha genikitili! Wu, yihotoleka kuvya ndi Kilisitu Msangula?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Vandu vakawuka kumuji na kumuhambila Yesu.
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Lukumbi lwenulo vawuliwa vaki vamyupili neju Yesu, “Muwula, ulyayi chakulya.”
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Nene nivii nachu chakulya chemwangachimanya nyenye.”
33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
Vawuliwa vaki vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Wu, avi mundu mweamletili chakulya?”
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Yesu akavajovela, “Chakulya changu ndi kuhenga geigana yula mweanitumili na kumalakisa lihengu laki.
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.
Nyenye mwijova, ‘Yakona miheyi mcheche ndu na lukumbi lwa kubena yati lubwela!’ Nambu nene nikuvajovela, myinula mihu ginu mlola migunda, mabenu gakangili giganikiwa kubenwa!
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)
Yula mweibena ipokela luhuna lweluganikiwa kupewa kwa lihengu laki, na kuyola mabenu ndava ya wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu, muni mweimija na mbenaji vihekelela pamonga. (aiōnios g166)
37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Vandu pevijova kuvya ‘Mundu mmonga imija na mundu yungi ibena, luhumu ulu ndi chakaka.’
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.
Nene navatumili nyenye mkabena changali lihengu, vangi vahengili lihengu, nambu nyenye mupatili utangatila ndava ya lihengu lavi.”
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.
Vasamaliya vamahele pachijiji chila vamsadiki Yesu ndava ya malovi geajovili mau yula, “Anijovili mambu goha genihengili.”
40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
Vasamaliya vamhambili Yesu vakamuyupa neju atama navu, namwene akatama navu magono gavili.
41 And many more believed because of his word;
Vandu vamahele, vamsadiki Yesu ndava ya malovi gaki.
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.
Vakamjovela mdala yula, “Tete tisadika, nambu lepi ndava ya malovi gaku, muni tavete tiyuwini na timanyili kuvya mwenuyu ndi chakaka Msangula wa vandu va pamulima.”
43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
Pagamaliki magono gavili, Yesu akawuka penapo, akahamba ku Galilaya.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Muni Yesu mwene ajovili hotohoto kuvya, “Mlota wa Chapanga nakuyidakiliwa pamulima waki.”
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.
Hinu peahikili ku Galilaya, Vagalilaya vamahele vampokili. Ndava vagawene goha geahengili ku Yelusalemu, muni navene vavi kukoko kumselebuko wa Pasaka.
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.
Kangi Yesu ahikili kavili ku Kana, kumuji wa Galilaya, pandu peang'anamwisi manji kuvya divayi. Kwenuko kwavi na chilongosi mmonga wa chinkosi mweavi na mwana waki mtamu ku Kapelanaumu.
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.
Chilongosi yula peayuwini kuvya Yesu ahumili ku Yudea na kuhika ku Galilaya, akamhambila na kumuyupa ahamba akamlamisa mwana waki mweavi mulung'olelu.
48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
Yesu akamjovela, “Nyenye changalola ulangisu na gachinamtiti katu mwisadika lepi!”
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Yula chilongosi akamjovela, “Bambu, chondi tihamba kwakona mwana vangu kufwa.”
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.
Yesu akamjovela, “Uhambayi, mwana waku yati ilama.” Mundu yula akasadika malovi ga Yesu, akahamba.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
Peavi akona munjila akakonganeka na vatumisi vaki, vakamjovela kuvya mwana waku alamili!
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.
Mwene akavakota lukumbi msongolo pealamili, vene vakamyangula, “Golo saa saba ya muhi, utamu wamuhumili.”
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.
Dadi yula akamanya kuvya lwavi lukumbi lulolo, Yesu peamjovili “Mwana waku yati ilama.” Penapo mwene pamonga na valongo vaki vakamsadika Yesu.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Wenuwu wavi ulangisu wa kukangasa weahengili Yesu peawukili ku Yudea kuhamba ku Galilaya.
