John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
VaFarisi vakanzwa kuti Jesu akanga achiteverwa navanhu vazhinji uye achibhabhatidza vadzidzi vakawanda kupfuura Johani,
2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
kunyange zvake akanga asiri Jesu aibhabhatidza, asi vadzidzi vake.
3 he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Ishe akati anzwa izvi, akabva kuJudhea akadzokera kuGarirea zvakare.
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
Zvino akanga achifanira kupfuura nomuSamaria.
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
Saka akasvika paguta romuSamaria rainzi Saika, pedyo nomunda wakanga wapiwa kuna Josefa nababa vake Jakobho.
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.
Tsime raJakobho raiva ipapo, uye Jesu, aneta sezvo akanga achibva parwendo, akagara pasi patsime ipapo. Yakanga iri nguva inenge yechitanhatu.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Mukadzi muSamaria akati auya kuzochera mvura, Jesu akati kwaari, “Ndipewo mvura yokunwa?”
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
(Vadzidzi vake vakanga vapinda muguta kuti vandotenga zvokudya.)
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.)
Mukadzi muSamaria akati kwaari, “Iwe uri muJudha uye ini ndiri muSamaria. Seiko uchikumbira kwandiri mvura yokunwa?” (Nokuti vaJudha havadyidzani navaSamaria.)
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.
Jesu akamupindura akati, “Dai waiziva chipo chaMwari uye kuti ndiani anokumbira mvura kwauri, ungadai wakumbira kwaari uye angadai akupa mvura mhenyu.”
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?
Mukadzi akati, “Ishe, hamuna chamungacheresa nacho uye tsime rakadzika. Ko, mvura mhenyu mungaiwanepi?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Ko, imi muri mukuru here, kuna baba vedu Jakobho, avo vakatipa tsime uye vakanwa pariri ivo pachavo, sezvakaitawo vanakomana vavo namakwai avo nemombe?”
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ani naani anonwa mvura iyi achava nenyotazve,
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
Mukadzi akati kwaari, “Ishe, ndipei mvura iyi kuitira kuti ndirege kuzova nenyotazve uye ndirege kuramba ndichingouya kuzochera mvura pano.”
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Iye akati, “Enda, undodana murume wako ugodzoka pano.”
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
Akapindura akati, “Handina murume.” Jesu akati kwaari, “Wareva zvakanaka pawati hauna murume.
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
Chokwadi ndeichi, wakava navarume vashanu, uye murume waunaye zvino haazi murume wako. Zvawabva mukutaura ndicho chokwadi.”
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Mukadzi akati, “Ishe, ndinoona kuti muri muprofita.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Madzibaba edu ainamata pagomo iri, asi imi vaJudha munoti, nzvimbo yatinofanira kunamata tiri ndimo muJerusarema.”
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 akati, “Mai, nditendei, nguva inouya yamuchanamata Baba musiri pagomo rino kana muJerusarema.
22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
Imi vaSamaria munonamata chamusingazivi; isu tinonamata chatinoziva, nokuti ruponeso runobva kuvaJudha.
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.
Asi nguva inouya uye yatouya zvino apo vanamati vechokwadi vachanamata Baba mumweya nomuzvokwadi, nokuti ndivo vanamati vanotsvakwa naBaba kuti vamunamate.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Mwari mweya, uye vanomunamata vanofanira kumunamata mumweya nomuzvokwadi.”
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.
Mukadzi akati, “Ndinoziva kuti Mesiya, anonzi Kristu, ari kuuya. Paanouya, acharondedzera zvinhu zvose kwatiri.”
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
Ipapo Jesu akataura akati, “Ini ndiri kutaura newe ndini iye.”
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?
Pakarepo vadzidzi vake vakadzokera kwaari uye vakashamiswa vachiona achitaura nomukadzi. Asi hapana akamubvunza kuti, “Unodei?” kana kuti “Munotaurireiko naye?”
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
Ipapo, asiya chirongo chake, mukadzi akadzokera kuguta akandoti kuvanhu,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
“Uyai, muone murume anditaurira zvinhu zvose zvandakaita. Kuti uyu angava iye Kristu here?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Vakabuda muguta vakapinda munzira yavo vakananga kwaari.
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Vanhu vasati vasvika, vadzidzi vake vakafanomukurudzira vachiti, “Rabhi, imbowanai chamungadya.”
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
Asi iye akati kwavari, “Ndine chokudya chandinodya chamusingazivi.”
33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
Ipapo vadzidzi vake vakati kuno mumwe nomumwe wavo, “Asi pano munhu amuvigira zvokudya kanhi?”
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Jesu akati kwavari, “Zvokudya zvangu ndiko kuita kuda kwowakandituma uye nokupedza basa rake.
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.
Ko, imi hamuti here, ‘Kwasara mwedzi mina ipapo kucheka kwobva kwasvika?’ Ndinoti kwamuri, svinurai meso enyu uye mutarise kuminda! Yatoibva kuti ikohwewe.
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)
Kunyange iye zvino mukohwi anopiwa mubayiro wake, kunyange izvozvi anokohwa zvibereko zvoupenyu husingaperi, kuitira kuti mukushi nomukohwi vagofara pamwe chete. (aiōnios g166)
37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Nokuti tsumo inoti, ‘Mumwe anokusha uye mumwe anokohwa ndeyezvokwadi.’
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.
Ndakakutumai kunokohwa zvamusina kushandira. Vamwe vakaita basa rakaoma, uye imi makakohwa mubayiro wokubata kwavo.”
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.
VaSamaria vazhinji vaibva muguta iro vakatenda kwaari nokuda kwouchapupu hwomukadzi hwokuti, “Akanditaurira zvose zvandakaita.”
40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
Saka vaSamaria vakasvika kwaari, vakamukumbira kuti agare navo, nokudaro akagarapo kwamazuva maviri.
41 And many more believed because of his word;
Uye nokuda kwamashoko ake vamwezve vazhinji vakava vatendi.
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.
Vakati kumukadzi uya, “Hatichatongotendi nokuda kwezvawataura chete; zvino tazvinzwira pachedu, uye tinoziva kuti murume uyu chokwadi ndiye Muponesi wenyika.”
43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
Mazuva maviri akati apfuura, akabva akaenda kuGarirea.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Zvino Jesu pachake akanga ambopupura kuti muprofita haakudzwi munyika yokwake.
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.
Akati asvika muGarirea, vaGarirea vakamugamuchira. Vakanga vaona zvose zvaakanga aita muJerusarema pamutambo wePasika, nokuti naivowo vaivapo.
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.
Akashanyirazve Kana yomuGarirea, uko kwaakanga ashandura mvura ikava waini. Uye ikoko kwakanga kuno mumwe mutariri wamambo akanga ane mwanakomana wake akanga avete achirwara paKapenaume.
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.
Murume uyu akati anzwa kuti Jesu asvika muGarirea achibva kuJudhea, akaenda kwaari akandomukumbira kuti auye azoporesa mwanakomana wake, uyo akanga ava pedyo nokufa.
48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
Jesu akati kwaari, “Kana imi vanhu musina kuona zviratidzo nezvishamiso, hamungatongotendi.”
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Mutariri wamambo akati, “Ishe, burukai muuye mwana wangu asati afa.”
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.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Enda hako. Mwanakomana wako achararama.” Murume uyu akagamuchira shoko raJesu akaenda.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
Achiri munzira varanda vake vakasangana naye namashoko okuti mukomana akanga apora.
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.
Akati abvunza nguva yakatanga mwana kunzwa zviri nani, ivo vakati kwaari, “Fivha yakabva paari nezuro panguva dzechinomwe.”
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.
Ipapo baba vaya vakayeuka kuti ndiyo yakanga iri nguva chaiyo paakanzi naJesu, “Mwanakomana wako achararama.” Saka iye neimba yake yose vakatenda.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Ichi ndicho chakanga chiri chiratidzo chechipiri chakaitwa naJesu, abva kuJudhea ava kuGarirea.
