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].
Kun nyt Herra sai tietää fariseusten kuulleen, että Jeesus teki opetuslapsiksi ja kastoi useampia kuin Johannes
-vaikka Jeesus ei itse kastanut, vaan hänen opetuslapsensa-
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.
jätti hän Juudean ja meni taas Galileaan.
4 [He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
Mutta hänen oli kuljettava Samarian kautta.
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].
Niin hän tuli Sykar nimiseen Samarian kaupunkiin, joka on lähellä sitä maa-aluetta, minkä Jaakob oli antanut pojalleen Joosefille.
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, )
Ja siellä oli Jaakobin lähde. Kun nyt Jeesus oli matkasta väsynyt, istui hän lähteen reunalle. Ja oli noin kuudes hetki.
Niin tuli eräs Samarian nainen ammentamaan vettä. Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Anna minulle juoda".
Sillä hänen opetuslapsensa olivat lähteneet kaupunkiin ruokaa ostamaan.
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]”
Niin Samarian nainen sanoi hänelle: "Kuinka sinä, joka olet juutalainen, pyydät juotavaa minulta, samarialaiselta naiselta?" Sillä juutalaiset eivät seurustele samarialaisten kanssa.
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.”
Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Jos sinä tietäisit Jumalan lahjan, ja kuka se on, joka sinulle sanoo: 'Anna minulle juoda', niin sinä pyytäisit häneltä, ja hän antaisi sinulle elävää vettä."
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?
Nainen sanoi hänelle: "Herra, eipä sinulla ole ammennusastiaa, ja kaivo on syvä; mistä sinulla sitten on se elävä vesi?
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]?”
Et kai sinä ole suurempi kuin meidän isämme Jaakob, joka antoi meille tämän kaivon ja joi siitä, hän itse sekä hänen poikansa ja karjansa?"
13 Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Jokainen, joka juo tätä vettä, janoaa jälleen,
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!”
Nainen sanoi hänelle: "Herra, anna minulle sitä vettä, ettei minun tulisi jano eikä minun tarvitsisi käydä täällä ammentamassa".
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!”
Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Mene, kutsu miehesi ja tule tänne".
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.
Nainen vastasi ja sanoi: "Ei minulla ole miestä". Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Oikein sinä sanoit: 'Ei minulla ole miestä',
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.”
sillä viisi miestä sinulla on ollut, ja se, joka sinulla nyt on, ei ole sinun miehesi; siinä sanoit totuuden."
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
Nainen sanoi hänelle: "Herra, minä näen, että sinä olet profeetta.
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]?”
Meidän isämme ovat kumartaen rukoilleet tällä vuorella; ja te sanotte, että Jerusalemissa on se paikka, jossa tulee kumartaen rukoilla."
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].
Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Vaimo, usko minua! Tulee aika, jolloin ette rukoile Isää tällä vuorella ettekä Jerusalemissa.
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].
Te kumarratte sitä, mitä ette tunne; me kumarramme sitä, minkä me tunnemme. Sillä pelastus on juutalaisista.
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.
Mutta tulee aika ja on jo, jolloin totiset rukoilijat rukoilevat Isää hengessä ja totuudessa; sillä senkaltaisia rukoilijoita myös Isä tahtoo.
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.”
Jumala on Henki; ja jotka häntä rukoilevat, niiden tulee rukoilla hengessä ja totuudessa."
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]’.)
Nainen sanoi hänelle: "Minä tiedän, että Messias on tuleva, hän, jota sanotaan Kristukseksi; kun hän tulee, ilmoittaa hän meille kaikki".
26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Minä olen se, minä, joka puhun sinun kanssasi".
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?”
Samassa hänen opetuslapsensa tulivat; ja he ihmettelivät, että hän puhui naisen kanssa. Kuitenkaan ei kukaan sanonut: "Mitä pyydät?" tai: "Mitä puhelet hänen kanssaan?"
28 The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
Niin nainen jätti vesiastiansa ja meni kaupunkiin ja sanoi ihmisille:
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?”
"Tulkaa katsomaan miestä, joka on sanonut minulle kaikki, mitä minä olen tehnyt. Eihän se vain liene Kristus?"
30 So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
Niin he lähtivät kaupungista ja menivät hänen luoksensa.
31 Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
Sillävälin opetuslapset pyysivät häntä sanoen: "Rabbi, syö!"
32 But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
Mutta hän sanoi heille: "Minulla on syötävänä ruokaa, josta te ette tiedä".
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]”
Niin opetuslapset sanoivat keskenään: "Lieneekö joku tuonut hänelle syötävää?"
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].
Jeesus sanoi heille: "Minun ruokani on se, että minä teen lähettäjäni tahdon ja täytän hänen tekonsa.
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.
Ettekö sano: 'Vielä on neljä kuukautta, niin elonleikkuu joutuu'? Katso, minä sanon teille: nostakaa silmänne ja katselkaa vainioita, kuinka ne ovat valjenneet leikattaviksi.
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)
Jo nyt saa leikkaaja palkan ja kokoaa hedelmää iankaikkiseen elämään, että kylväjä ja leikkaaja saisivat yhdessä iloita. (aiōnios g166)
37 As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
Sillä tässä on se sana tosi, että toinen on kylväjä, ja leikkaaja toinen.
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.”
Minä olen lähettänyt teidät leikkaamaan sitä, josta te ette ole vaivaa nähneet; toiset ovat vaivan nähneet, ja te olette päässeet heidän vaivansa hedelmille."
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]!”
Ja monet samarialaiset siitä kaupungista uskoivat häneen naisen puheen tähden, kun tämä todisti: "Hän on sanonut minulle kaikki, mitä minä olen tehnyt".
40 So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
Kun nyt samarialaiset tulivat hänen luoksensa, pyysivät he häntä viipymään heidän luonaan; ja hän viipyi siellä kaksi päivää.
41 Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
Ja vielä paljoa useammat uskoivat hänen sanansa tähden,
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].”
ja he sanoivat naiselle: "Emme enää usko sinun puheesi tähden, sillä me itse olemme kuulleet ja tiedämme, että tämä totisesti on maailman Vapahtaja".
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].
Mutta niiden kahden päivän kuluttua hän lähti sieltä Galileaan.
Sillä Jeesus itse todisti, ettei profeetalla ole arvoa omassa isiensä maassa.
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.
Kun hän siis tuli Galileaan, ottivat galilealaiset hänet vastaan, koska olivat nähneet kaikki, mitä hän oli tehnyt Jerusalemissa juhlan aikana; sillä hekin olivat tulleet juhlille.
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.
Niin hän tuli taas Galilean Kaanaan, jossa hän oli tehnyt veden viiniksi. Ja Kapernaumissa oli eräs kuninkaan virkamies, jonka poika sairasti.
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!”
Kun hän kuuli Jeesuksen tulleen Juudeasta Galileaan, meni hän hänen luoksensa ja pyysi häntä tulemaan ja parantamaan hänen poikansa; sillä tämä oli kuolemaisillaan.
48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
Niin Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Ellette näe merkkejä ja ihmeitä, te ette usko".
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!”
Kuninkaan virkamies sanoi hänelle: "Herra, tule, ennenkuin minun lapseni kuolee".
50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Mene, sinun poikasi elää". Ja mies uskoi sanan, jonka Jeesus sanoi hänelle, ja meni.
51 [The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
Ja jo hänen ollessaan paluumatkalla hänen palvelijansa kohtasivat hänet ja sanoivat, että hänen poikansa eli.
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.”
Niin hän tiedusteli heiltä, millä hetkellä hän oli alkanut toipua. Ja he sanoivat hänelle: "Eilen seitsemännellä hetkellä kuume lähti hänestä".
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].
Niin isä ymmärsi, että se oli tapahtunut sillä hetkellä, jolloin Jeesus oli sanonut hänelle: "Sinun poikasi elää". Ja hän uskoi, hän ja koko hänen huonekuntansa.
54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
Tämä oli taas tunnusteko, toinen, jonka Jeesus teki, tultuaan Juudeasta Galileaan.
