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].
१येशू योहानापेक्षा अधिक शिष्य करून त्यांचा बाप्तिस्मा करीत आहे हे परूश्यांच्या कानी गेले आहे असे जेव्हा प्रभूला कळले.
२(तरी, येशू स्वतः बाप्तिस्मा करीत नव्हता पण त्याचे शिष्य करीत होते)
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.
३तेव्हा तो यहूदीया प्रांत सोडून पुन्हा गालील प्रांतात गेला.
4 [He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
४आणि त्यास शोमरोन प्रांतातून जावे लागले.
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].
५मग तो शोमरोन प्रांतातील सूखार नावाच्या नगरास आला. ते याकोबाने आपला मुलगा योसेफ याला दिलेल्या शेताजवळ होते.
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, )
६तेथे याकोबाची विहीर होती. म्हणून प्रवासाने दमलेला येशू तसाच त्या विहिरीजवळ बसला, तेव्हा सुमारे दुपारचे बारा वाजले होते.
७तेथे एक शोमरोनी स्त्री पाणी काढाण्यास आली. येशू तिला म्हणाला, “मला प्यायला दे.”
८कारण त्याचे शिष्य गावात अन्न विकत घ्यायला गेले होते.
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]”
९तेव्हा ती शोमरोनी स्त्री त्यास म्हणाली, “आपण यहूदी असून माझ्यासारख्या एका शोमरोनी स्त्रीजवळ प्यायला पाणी मागता हे कसे?” कारण यहूदी शोमरोनी लोकांबरोबर कोणतेही व्यवहारीक संबंध ठेवत नव्हते.
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.”
१०येशूने तिला उत्तर दिले, “देवाचे दान म्हणजे काय आणि मला प्यायला दे असे तुला म्हणणारा कोण आहे, हे तुला समजले असते तर तू त्याच्याजवळ मागितले असतेस आणि त्याने तुला जिवंत पाणी दिले असते.”
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?
११ती स्त्री त्यास म्हणाली, “साहेब, पाणी काढायला आपल्याजवळ काही नाही व विहीर तर खोल आहे, मग आपल्याजवळ ते जिवंत पाणी कोठून?
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]?”
१२आमचा पूर्वज याकोब याने ही विहीर आम्हास दिली, तो स्वतः, त्याचे पुत्र व त्याची गुरेढोरे हिचे पाणी पीत असत. त्याच्यापेक्षा आपण मोठे आहात काय?”
13 Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
१३येशूने तिला उत्तर दिले, “जो कोणी हे पाणी पिईल त्यास पुन्हा तहान लागेल,
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!”
१५ती स्त्री त्यास म्हणाली, “साहेब, मला तहान लागू नये व पाणी काढायला मला येथवर येणे भाग पडू नये म्हणून ते पाणी मला द्या.”
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!”
१६येशू तिला म्हणाला, “जा, तुझ्या पतीला बोलावून आण.”
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.
१७ती स्त्री म्हणाली, “मला पती नाही.” येशूने तिला म्हटले, “तू ठीक बोललीस की, ‘तुला पती नाही;’
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.”
१८कारण तुला पाच पती होते आणि तुझ्याजवळ आता आहे तो तुझा पती नाही, हे तू खरे बोललीस.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
१९ती स्त्री त्यास म्हणाली, “साहेब, आपण संदेष्टे आहात हे आता मला समजले.
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]?”
२०आमच्या पूर्वजांनी याच डोंगरावर उपासना केली आणि तुम्ही म्हणता की, जिथे उपासना केली पाहिजे ते स्थान यरूशलेम शहरात आहे.”
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].
२१येशू तिला म्हणाला, “मुली, माझ्यावर विश्वास ठेव की अशी घटका येत आहे; तुम्ही या डोंगरावर किव्हा यरूशलेम शहरात पित्याची उपासना करणार नाही,
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].
२२तुम्ही ज्याला ओळखीत नाही अशाची उपासना करता; आम्हास ठाऊक आहे अशाची उपासना आम्ही करतो, कारण यहूद्यांतूनच तारण आहे.
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.
२३तरी खरे उपासक आत्म्याने व खरेपणाने स्वर्गीय पित्याची उपासना करतील अशी वेळ येत आहे, किंबहुना आलीच आहे; कारण आपले उपासक असेच असावेत, अशी पित्याची इच्छा आहे.
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.”
२४देव आत्मा आहे; आणि त्याच्या उपासकांनी त्याची उपासना आत्म्याने व खरेपणाने केली पाहिजे.”
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]’.)
२५ती स्त्री त्यास म्हणाली, “मी जाणते की, मसीहा ज्याला ख्रिस्त म्हणतात तो येणार आहे, हे मला माहित आहे. तो येईल तेव्हा तो सर्व गोष्टी सांगेल.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
२६येशू तिला म्हणाला, “तुझ्याशी बोलणारा मीच तो आहे.”
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?”
२७इतक्यात त्याचे शिष्य आले आणि तो एका स्त्रीबरोबर बोलत आहे याचे त्यांना आश्चर्य वाटले, तरी कोणी असे म्हणले नाही की, “आपण काय विचारत आहात?” किंवा “आपण तिच्याशी का बोलत आहात?”
28 The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
२८ती स्त्री तेव्हा आपला पाण्याचा घडा तेथेच टाकून नगरात गेली आणि लोकांस म्हणाली,
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?”
२९“चला, मी केलेले सर्वकाही ज्याने मला सांगितले, तो मनुष्य पाहा, तोच ख्रिस्त असेल काय?”
30 So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
३०तेव्हा ते नगरातून निघून त्याच्याकडे येऊ लागले.
31 Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
३१त्याचे शिष्य त्यास विनंती करून म्हणाले, “रब्बी, काहीतरी खाऊन घ्या.”
32 But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
३२पण तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “तुम्हास माहीत नाही असे अन्न माझ्याजवळ खायला आहे.”
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]”
३३यावरुन शिष्य एकमेकांस म्हणू लागले, “ह्याला कोणी खायला आणून दिले असेल काय?”
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].
३४येशू त्यांना म्हणाला, “ज्याने मला पाठवले त्याच्या इच्छेप्रमाणे करावे व त्याचे कार्य सिद्धीस न्यावे हेच माझे अन्न आहे.
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.
३५अजून चार महिन्यांचा अवकाश आहे, मग कापणी येईल, असे तुम्ही म्हणता की नाही? पाहा, मी तुम्हास म्हणतो, आपली नजर वर करून शेते पाहा; ती कापणीसाठी पांढरी होऊन चुकली आहेत.
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)
३६कापणारा मजुरी मिळवतो व सार्वकालिक जीवनासाठी पीक गोळा करतो; यासाठी की पेरणाऱ्याने व कापणी करणाऱ्यानेही एकत्र आनंद करावा. (aiōnios g166)
37 As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
३७‘एक पेरतो आणि दुसरा कापतो’, अशी जी म्हण आहे ती या बाबतीत खरी आहे.
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.”
३८ज्यासाठी तुम्ही कष्ट केले नाहीत ते कापायला मी तुम्हास पाठवले. दुसर्‍यांनी कष्ट केले होते व तुम्ही त्यांच्या कष्टात वाटेकरी झालेले आहात.”
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]!”
३९“मी केलेले सर्वकाही त्याने मला सांगितले” अशी साक्ष देणाऱ्या त्या स्त्रीच्या बोलण्यावरून त्या नगरातल्या पुष्कळ शोमरोनी लोकांनी त्याच्यावर विश्वास ठेवला.
40 So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
४०म्हणून शोमरोनी त्याच्याकडे आल्यावर, त्यांनी त्यास आपल्याबरोबर रहायची विनंती केली; मग तो तेथे दोन दिवस राहिला.
41 Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
४१आणखी कितीतरी लोकांनी त्याच्या वचनावरून विश्वास धरला.
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].”
४२आणि ते त्या स्त्रीला म्हणाले, “आता तुझ्या बोलण्यावरूनच आम्ही विश्वास धरतो असे नाही, कारण आम्ही स्वतः ऐकले आहे व हा खरोखर जगाचा तारणारा आहे, हे आम्हास समजले आहे.”
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].
४३मग त्या दोन दिवसानंतर, तो तेथून गालील प्रांतात निघून गेला.
४४कारण येशूने स्वतः साक्ष दिली की, संदेष्ट्याला स्वतःच्या देशात मान मिळत नाही.
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.
४५म्हणून तो गालील प्रांतात आल्यावर गालीलकरांनी त्याचे स्वागत केले; कारण त्याने सणात यरूशलेम शहरात केलेल्या सर्व गोष्टी त्यांनी पाहिल्या होत्या; कारण तेही सणाला गेले होते.
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.
४६नंतर तो गालील प्रांतातील काना नगरात पुन्हा आला. तेथे त्याने पाण्याचा द्राक्षरस केला होता. त्या स्थळी कोणीएक अंमलदार होता, त्याचा मुलगा कफर्णहूमात आजारी होता.
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!”
४७येशू यहूदीया प्रांतातून गालील प्रांतात आला आहे हे ऐकून तो त्याच्याकडे गेला आणि त्याने खाली येऊन आपल्या मुलाला बरे करावे अशी त्याने विनंती केली कारण तो मरायला टेकला होता.
48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
४८त्यावर येशू त्यास म्हणाला, “तुम्ही चिन्हे आणि अद्भूते बघितल्याशिवाय विश्वास ठेवणारच नाही.”
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!”
४९तो अंमलदार त्यास म्हणाला, “प्रभूजी, माझे मूल मरण्यापूर्वी आपण खाली येण्याची कृपा करा.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
५०येशू त्यास म्हणाला, “जा, तुमचा मुलगा वाचला आहे.” तेव्हा तो मनुष्य, त्यास येशूने म्हटलेल्या वचनावर विश्वास ठेवून, आपल्या मार्गाने निघून गेला.
51 [The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
५१आणि तो खाली जात असता त्याचे दास त्यास भेटून म्हणाले, “आपला मुलगा वाचला आहे.”
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.”
५२तेव्हा केव्हापासून त्याच्यात सुधारणा होऊ लागली म्हणून त्याने त्यांना प्रश्न केला आणि ते त्यास म्हणाले, “काल, दुपारी एक वाजता त्याचा ताप गेला.”
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].
५३यावरुन ज्या ताशी येशूने त्यास सांगितले होते की, “तुमचा मुलगा वाचला आहे,” त्याच ताशी हे झाले असे पित्याने ओळखले आणि त्याने स्वतः व त्याच्या सर्व घराण्याने विश्वास ठेवला.
54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
५४येशू यहूदीया प्रांतातून गालील प्रांतात आल्यावर त्याने पुन्हा जे दुसरे चिन्ह केले ते हे.
