John 4
1 [At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
An Aotrou, o vezañ gouezet o devoa ar farizianed klevet e rae hag e vadeze muioc'h a ziskibien eget Yann,
(koulskoude ne oa ket Jezuz e-unan a vadeze, met e ziskibien)
3 When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
a guitaas Bro-Judea, hag a zistroas e Galilea;
4 [He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
met, ret e oa dezhañ tremen dre Samaria.
5 So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
Erruout a reas eta en ur gêr eus Samaria, anvet Sikar, tost d'an douar en devoa Jakob roet d'e vab Jozef.
6 The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
Eno e oa puñs Jakob. Jezuz eta, skuizh gant an hent, a azezas e-kichen ar puñs; war-dro ar c'hwec'hvet eur e oa.
Ur wreg samaritan o vezañ deuet evit tennañ dour, Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Ro din da evañ.
E ziskibien a oa aet e kêr, evit prenañ boued.
9 so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
Ar wreg samaritan a respontas dezhañ: Penaos, te hag a zo yuzev, a c'houlenn da evañ diganin-me, ur Samaritanez? (Rak ar Yuzevien ne zarempredont ket gant ar Samaritaned.)
10 Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
Jezuz a respontas hag a lavaras dezhi: Mar anavezjes donezon Doue, ha piv eo an hini a lavar dit: Ro din da evañ, te a c'houlennje da-unan digantañ, hag eñ a roje dit dour bev.
11 She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, te ne'c'h eus netra evit tennañ dour, hag ar puñs a zo don; a-belec'h eta ez pefe an dour bev-se?
12 Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
Brasoc'h out eget hon tad Jakob en deus roet deomp ar puñs-mañ hag en deus evet e-unan anezhañ, kenkoulz evel e vibien hag e loened?
13 Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
Jezuz a respontas dezhi: Piv bennak a ev eus an dour-mañ en devo c'hoazh sec'hed;
15 The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, ro din an dour-se, evit na'm bo ken sec'hed, ha na zeuin ken da dennañ dour amañ.
16 [Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Kae, galv da bried, ha deus amañ.
17 She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
Ar wreg a respontas: Ne'm eus pried ebet. Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Lavaret mat ec'h eus: Ne'm eus pried ebet;
18 It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
rak pemp pried ac'h eus bet; hag an hini a zo ganit bremañ n'eo ket da bried; gwir ac'h eus lavaret e kement-se.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, gwelout a ran out ur profed.
20 But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
Hon tadoù o deus azeulet war ar menez-mañ, ha c'hwi a lavar penaos al lec'h e pelec'h eo ret azeuliñ eo Jeruzalem.
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Gwreg, kred ac'hanon; an amzer a zeu ma n'azeulor ken an Tad na war ar menez-mañ nag e Jeruzalem.
22 You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
C'hwi a azeul ar pezh n'anavezit ket; evidomp-ni, ni a azeul ar pezh a anavezomp, rak ar silividigezh a zeu eus ar Yuzevien.
23 However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
Met an eur a zeu, ha deuet eo dija, ma'c'h azeulo ar gwir azeulerien an Tad e spered hag e gwirionez, rak an Tad a c'houlenn ar seurt azeulerien-se.
24 God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
Doue a zo Spered, hag eo ret d'ar re en azeul, e azeuliñ e spered hag e gwirionez.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Gouzout a ran penaos ar Mesiaz, an hini a c'halver Krist, a dle dont; pa vo-eñ deuet, e tisklêrio deomp an holl draoù.
26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Me eo, me, an hini a gomz ouzhit.
27 Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
War gement-se, e ziskibien a erruas, hag e oant souezhet dre ma komze gant ur wreg; koulskoude hini anezho ne lavaras dezhañ: Petra a c'houlennez? Pe, perak e komzez ganti?
28 The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
Neuze ar wreg a lezas he fod-dour, a yeas e kêr, hag a lavaras d'an dud:
29 “Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
Deuit da welout un den en deus lavaret din kement am eus graet; ne vefe ket eñ ar C'hrist?
30 So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
Mont a rejont eta eus kêr, hag ez ejont d'e gavout.
31 Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
Koulskoude, e ziskibien a bede anezhañ, o lavarout: Mestr, debr.
32 But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
Met eñ a lavaras dezho: Me am eus da zebriñ ur boued n'anavezit ket.
33 So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
An diskibien a lavare eta an eil d'egile: Unan bennak en defe degaset da zebriñ dezhañ?
34 Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Va boued eo ober bolontez an hini en deus va c'haset, ha peurober e oberenn.
35 [At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
Ne lavarit ket ez eus c'hoazh pevar miz ac'han d'an eost? Setu, me a lavar deoc'h: Savit ho taoulagad, ha sellit ouzh ar maezioù a wenna dija evit an eost.
36 [If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
An hini a ved en deus ur gopr, hag a zastum frouezh evit ar vuhez peurbadus, evit m'en em laouenaio an hini a had ivez gant an hini a ved. (aiōnios g166)
37 As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
Rak e kement-mañ eo gwir ar gomz-mañ: Unan all eo an hader, hag unan all eo ar meder.
38 I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
Me am eus ho kaset e-lec'h n'hoc'h eus ket labouret; reoù all o deus labouret, ha c'hwi a zo aet war o labour.
39 Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
Kalz eus Samaritaned ar gêr-se a gredas ennañ, abalamour da gomz ar wreg; roet he devoa an testeni-mañ: Lavaret en deus din kement am eus graet.
40 So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
Ar Samaritaned eta, o vezañ deuet d'e gavout, a bedas anezhañ da chom ganto; hag e chomas daou zevezh eno.
41 Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
Hag un niver brasoc'h a gredas abalamour d'e gelennadurezh.
42 They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
Hag e lavarent d'ar wreg: N'eo ket abalamour da'z lavar eo e kredomp, rak klevet hon eus anezhañ hon-unan, hag ec'h anavezomp penaos hemañ eo e gwirionez Salver ar bed[, ar C'hrist].
43 Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
Daou zevezh goude, ez eas kuit ac'hano, evit mont e Galilea,
rak Jezuz e-unan en devoa disklêriet penaos ur profed n'eo ket enoret en e vro.
45 However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
Pa oa erru e Galilea, e voe degemeret mat gant ar C'halileiz o devoa gwelet kement en devoa graet e Jeruzalem deiz ar gouel; rak int ivez a oa aet d'ar gouel.
46 Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
Jezuz a zeuas eta a-nevez da Gana e Galilea, e-lec'h m'en devoa graet gwin gant dour. Ha, bez' e oa e Kafarnaoum un Aotrou a di ar roue a oa klañv e vab.
47 When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
An den-mañ, o vezañ anavezet penaos Jezuz a oa deuet eus Judea da C'halilea, a yeas d'e gavout hag a bedas anezhañ da ziskenn evit yac'haat e vab, rak mont a rae da vervel.
48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
Jezuz a lavaras: Ma ne welit ket a sinoù hag a virakloù, ne gredit ket.
49 But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
An Aotrou-mañ a di ar roue a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, diskenn, a-raok ma varvo va bugel.
50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
Jezuz a lavaras dezhañ: Kae, da vab a vev. An den-mañ a gredas ar pezh en devoa Jezuz lavaret dezhañ, hag a yeas kuit.
51 [The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
Evel ma tiskenne, e vevelien a zeuas a-raok dezhañ, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Da vab a vev.
52 He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
Eñ a c'houlennas outo da bet eur e oa en em gavet gwelloc'h. Hag int a lavaras dezhañ: Dec'h d'ar seizhvet eur, an derzhienn a guitaas anezhañ.
53 Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
Hag an tad a anavezas e oa d'an eur-se en devoa Jezuz lavaret dezhañ: Da vab a vev; hag e kredas, eñ hag holl dud e di.
54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
Jezuz a reas an eil mirakl-se en e zistro eus Judea da C'halilea.
