John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Erile Morena a itse gore Bafarasai ba utlwile kaga bontsintsi jo bo yang kwa go ene go na le kwa go Johane go kolobediwa le go nna barutwa ba gagwe
2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
(ntswa Jesu ene ka boene a ne a sa ba kolobetse, go ne go kolobetsa barutwa ba gagwe).
3 he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
A tswa mo Judea mme a boela kwa kgaolong ya Galalea.
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
Mme a tshwanelwa ke go ralala Samaria a le mo tseleng.
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
Mme erile motshegare wa sethoboloko, fa a atamela motse wa Sikara, a goroga fa Sedibeng sa ga Jakobe se se neng se le mo setsheng sa lefatshe se Jakobe a neng a se neile morwawe Josefe.
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.
Jesu o ne a lapisitswe ke go tsamaya mo mogoteng wa letsatsi sekgala se se leele, hong a nna fa thoko ga sediba a lapile thata.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Mme ka bofefo ga tla mosadi wa Mosamaria a tla go ga metsi, mme Jesu a mo kopa metse a go nwa.
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
O ne a le nosi ka nako eo, barutwa ba gagwe ba ile kwa motseng go reka dijo.
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.)
Mosadi a gakgamala gore a Mojuta o ka kopa “Mosamaria yo o nyatsegang” sengwe, ka tlwaelo ba ne ba sa buisanye! Mme a bua kaga selo se le Jesu.
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.
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Fa o ne o itsile gore Modimo o go tsholetse neo e e gakgamatsang jang, le gore ke nna mang, o kabo o nkopile metse a botshelo!”
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?
Mme mosadi a re, “Ga o na segelelo, le gone sediba se se boteng thata! O ne o tlaa tsaya kae metse a botshelo?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Kwa ntle ga moo, a o mogolo mo go rraarona mogolwagolwane Jakobe? O ka mpha metse a a botoka jang go na le a Jakobe le bo morwawe le dikgomo tsa bone di a noleng ka boitumelo?”
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Jesu a fetola a re, “Batho ba tshwarwa ke lenyora ka bofefo fa ba sena go nwa metsi a.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
Mme mosadi a mo raya a re, “Tswee-tswee rra, nnosa metsi ao! Hong ga ke na go tlhola ke nyorwa gape, le fa e le go tsamaya mosepele o moleele o wa go tla go ga metse fano malatsi otlhe.”
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Tsamaya o ye go tla le monna wa gago.”
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
Mme mosadi a mo fetola a re, “Kana ga ke a nyalwa.”
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
Jesu a re, “O bua boammaaruri Ka gore o kile wa nna le banna ba le batlhano, mme monna yo o nnang le ene gompieno jaana ga a go nyala.”
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Mme mosadi a mo raya a re, “Rra, o tshwa-netse wa bo o le moporofiti.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Mme he, mpolelela, ke eng fa lona Bajuta lo re Jerusalema ke lone fela lefelo la kobamelo-Modimo, fa rona Basamaria re re ke fano [mo Thabeng ya Gerasime] kwa borraa-rona mogolwagolwane ba neng ba obamela teng?”
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
Jesu a fetola a re, “Nako e e tla, mma, fa re tlaa bong re sa tlhole re tshwenyega ka gore a re obamela Rara fano kgotsa mo Jerusalema.
22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
Gonne ga go mo go reng re obamela kae, fa e se gore re obama jang, ebong gore a kobamelo ya rona ke ya semowa le ya boammaaruri? A re na le thuso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo?
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.
Gonne Modimo ke Mowa, jalo re tshwanetse go nna le thuso ya one go o obamela jaaka re tshwanetse. Rara o batla one mofuta o wa kobamelo mo go rona.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Mme lona Basamaria lo itse go se kae fela kaga gagwe, lo obamela ka bofofu fa rona Bajuta re itse gotlhe kaga gagwe, gonne poloko e tla mo lefatsheng ka Bajuta.”
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.
Mosadi a re, “Go siame, le fa go ntse jalo ke itse gore Mesia o tlaa tla, yo ba mmitsang Keresete, mme fa a tla o tlaa re tlhalosetsa sengwe le sengwe.”
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
Hong Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ke nna Mesia!”
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?
Mme erile gone foo fela barutwa ba gagwe ba goroga. Ba gakgamalela go mmona a bua le mosadi, mme le fa e le ope wa bone a se ka a mmotsa gore ke eng.
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
Mme mosadi a tsamaya a tlogela nkgwana ya gagwe ya metsi fa thoko ga sediba a boela kwa motseng mme a feta a bolelela mongwe le mongwe jaana,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
“Tlang lo bone monna yo o mpoleletseng sengwe le sengwe se ke neng ke tshela ke se dira! A e ka ne e le ene Mesia?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Mme batho ba motse ba tla ba tsositse modumo ba ya go mmona.
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Erile ka lobakanyana fa mosadi a sa ntse a ile go bolelela batho kwa motseng, barutwa ba sala ba leka go kgothaletsa Jesu go ja.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
Mme Jesu a ba fetola a re, “Nnyaa, ke na le dijo tse lo sa itseng kaga tsone.”
33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
Mme barutwa ba botsanya ba re, “Yo o di mo lereditseng ke mang?”
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Mme Jesu a ba tlhalosetsa jaana a re: “Dikotla tsa me di mo go direng go rata ga Modimo o o nthomileng, le mo go fetseng tiro ya One.
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.
A lo gopola gore tiro ya thobo ga e na go simolola go fitlhelela selemo se fela mo dikgweding tse nne go simolola jaanong jaana? Lebang mo tikologong! Masimo a magolo a e leng mewa ya batho, a simolola go butswa mo tikologong yotlhe ya rona, ebile a setse a ka rojwa.
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)
Barobi ba tlaa duelwa tuelo e ntle, mme ba tlaa phuthela mewa e e bolokwang mo difalaneng tsa legodimo! Ke boitumelo jo bogolo jang jo bo letileng mojadi le morobi! (aiōnios g166)
37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Gonne ke boammaaruri gore mongwe o a jala mme yo mongwe o a roba.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.
Ke lo romile go roba kwa lo sa jalang teng; ba bangwe ba dirile tiro ya bone mme lona lwa amogela thobo.”
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.
Batho ba le bantsi ba ba tswang mo motseng wa Samarea, ba dumela gore ke Mesia ka ntlha ya polelo ya mosadi e e reng, “O mpoleletse sengwe le sengwe se ke neng ke aga ke se dira!”
40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
Erile ba ya go mmona kwa sedibeng, ba feta ba mo kopa go ya go nna mo motseng wa bone; mme a dira jalo, a nna malatsi a le mabedi,
41 And many more believed because of his word;
a a neng a lekanye ba le bantsi go dumela mo go ene ba sena go mo utlwa.
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.
Mme ba raya mosadi ba re, “Jaanong re a dumela gonne re mo ikutlwetse, e seng fela ka ntlha ya se wena o se re boleletseng. Ke ene tota Mmoloki wa lefatshe.”
43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
Erile a sena go nna malatsi a mabedi, a ya Galalea
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
fela jaaka a ne a tle a re, “Moporofiti o tlotlega gongwe le gongwe fa e se fela mo lefatsheng la ga gabo!”
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.
Mme Bagalalea ba feta ba mo amogela sentle ka diatla tsoo pedi gonne ba ne ba le mo Jerusalema ka moletlo wa Tlolaganyo le gore ba ne ba bonye dikgakgamatso dingwe tsa gagwe.
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.
Mo lobakeng lwa loeto lwa gagwe a raletse Galalea, o ne a goroga mo motseng wa Kana kwa a neng a kile a fetola metsi mofine teng. Erile a sale teng koo, monna mongwe mo motseng wa Kaperenama, yo e neng e le kgosana, yo morwawe o neng a lwala thata,
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.
a utlwa gore Jesu o boile kwa Judea jaanong o mo Galalea. Monna yo a ya kwa Kana, a fitlhela Jesu, mme a kopa gore a ye le ene kwa Kaperenama go ya go fodisa morwawe yo a neng a le fa gare ga loso le botshelo.
48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
Mme Jesu a mmotsa a re, “A ga gona ope wa lona yo o dumelang mo go nna fa e se ke tswelela ka go dira dikgakgamatso?”
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Kgosana ya mo rapela ya re, “Rra, tswee-tswee itlhaganele pele ngwanake o a swa.”
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.
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Boela kwa gae. Morwao o fodile!” Mme kgosana ya dumela Jesu ya boela kwa gae.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
Mme ya re fa a sale mo tseleng, bangwe ba batlhanka ba gagwe ba mo rakantsha ka mafoko a a reng sengwe le sengwe se siame, morwao o namologile mo bolwetseng.
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.
A ba botsa gore mosimanyana o sale a simolola go ikutlwa botoka leng? Mme ba mo fetola ba re, “Erile maabane mo tshokologong nako e ka nna ya bongwe, letshoroma la gagwe la bo le nyelela!”
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.
Hong rraagwe a lemoga gore e ne e le ka lone lobaka lo Jesu a neng a mo raya a re, “Morwao o fodile.” Mme Kgosana le bantlo ya gagwe ba dumela gore Jesu ke Mesia.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Se e ne e le kgakgamatso ya bobedi mo Ga-lalea morago ga go boa ga ga Jesu kwa Judea.
