John 4
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Awo Jesu nakaziba kuti ba Falisi bakamvwa kuti wakalikuba abasikwiya biingi mbakali kubbabaatizya kwinda Joni
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
(nekuba kuti welwakwe mwini tensi wakali kubbabbatizya pe, pesi basikwiya bakwe mbabo bakali kubbabbatizya),
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
wakazwa mu Judiya wabweda lubo ku Galilaya.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
Pesi chakalelede kuti ayinde mu Samaliya.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Elyo wakasika mumunzi wamu Samaliya utegwa Sychal afwifwi achipanzi chanyika eyo Jakobo njakali wapa mwanakwe Josefa.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Chikala cha Jakobo chakaliwo. Jesu wakali wakatala kuzwa mulwendo lwakwe mpawo wakakkala kumbali achikala. Lyakali sikati.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
Umwi mukayintu mu Samaliya wakaza kuzoteka manzi, elyo Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Ndipe manzi nwe”.
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Nkambo basikwiya bakwe bakali banjila mumunzi kuyowula kulya.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Mpawo mukayintu mu Samaliya wakamwambila kuti, “Chikonzeka buti, kuti webo nomu Juda undikumbile chakunywa imebo ndemukayintu mu Samaliya”. nkambo ma Juda tabakwe bulidilano pe ama Samaliya.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
Jesu wakasandula wati, “anoli walizi chipo cha Leza, akuti ngwani ukukumbila manzi, wayinokumbila nduwe, nkekupa manzi mawumi”.
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
Mukayintu, wakati kulinguwe, “Yomwalumi, tokwe chakutesya pe mpawo chikala nchilamfu. Ani mpo ulaajanayi ayo manzi abuumi?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
Tooli mupati, mbubo na, kwinda taata Jakobo, wakatupa chikala akunwa kuli nchicho lwakwe mwini, abana bakwe ambono zyabo?
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jesu wakasandula wati kulinguwe, “woonse unywa manzi amuchikala echi uyoba anyota lubo. Kufumbwa unywa manzi nginjomupa takoyoba a nyota limbi.
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “Mwami, ndipe manzi ayo kuchitilakuti nsikabi anyota akuti nsizoboli lubo kuzoteka manzi awa.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “koya, ukite mulumako, mpawo ubolano”
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “nsikwe mulumi pe”. Jesu wakati, “waamba kasimpe kuti nsijisi mulumi pe”.
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Nkambo wakala baalumi musanu, ooyo ngolawe lino temulumako pe. Nzwawamba zilisinizizye.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Mukayintu wakati kulinguwe, “mwami ndabona kuti ulimusinsimi.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Mataata esu bakali kukomba muchilundu echi pesi muti Jelusalema mbobusena bantu nkubelede kukombela.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “yomukayintu ndisyome, chindi chilasika awo nemutakakombe Taata kutali muchilundu echi nabi mu Jelusalemu.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Mukomba nchomutazi. Swebo tukomba nchetuzi, nkambo lufutuko luzwa kuba Juda.
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
Nekubaboobo chindi chilasika, nchenchichechi, awo bakomba mukasimpe mpobayomukomba Taata mumuya amubwini, nkambo Taata mbembabo bantu mbayandula kuti babe basikumukomba.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Leza ngumuya, aboobo bantu bamukomba belede kumukomba mumuya amubwini”.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
Mukayintu wakamwambila kuti, “ndilizi kuti Mesiya uyobuza( ooyo utegwa Kilisito)”. Nazosika uzotupandulwida zyonse.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “ndendime nguwe oyu uwambula ayebo”.
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
Aleecho chindi basikwiya bakwe bakaboola. Elyo bakagamba kuti nkamboyi nambula amukayintu, pesi taakwe wakamba kuti, “uyandayi?” na kuti “Nkamboyi nambula awe?”
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
Awo mukayintu ooyu wakasiya noongo yakwe yamanzi, wabweda kumunzi, wakwambila bantu,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
“kamuza, muzobone mwalumi wandambila zintu zyonse nzendakachita. Oyu tekujana waba Kilisito na, nkujana waba nguwe?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Bakazwa mumunzi baza kulinguwe.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Achindi nchichecho, basikwiya bakwe bakali kumukombelezya kuti “Rabbi, lya”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
Pesi wakati kulinguwe, “Ime ndakulya nkomutazi atala ankuko.”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Awo basikwiya bakakazyania akati kabo, “Takwe muntu wamwetela kulya pe, mpali na?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “kulya kwangu nkuchita luyando lwayoyo wakandituma akumaninsizya mulimu wakwe.
35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
Sa tamwambi kuti, 'kuchili myezi yoone nekutakabe goloka'? Ndokumwambila kuti, amunyampule meso anu mulange myunda, nkambo yabizwa kale yelela kutebulwa!
36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Oyo utebula utambula chakufola akubungika michelo yabumi butamani, kuchitila kuti oyo ubyala ayooyo utebula bakakondwe antomwe. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
Mulichechi kalasinizya kambyo kati, “umwi ulabyala utebula ngumbi”.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
Ndakamutuma kuyotebula nchemwakata lima. Bamwi bakalima, inywe mwakanjila mumilimu yabo.
39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
Bantu biingi bamu Samaliya bamumunzi oyu bakamusyoma nkambo ka mbakalungulula mukayintu wakali kupa bukamboni, “wandambila zyonse nzendakachita”.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Bantu bamu Samaliya nibakasika kulinguwe, bakamu kumbila kuti akkale aboo, wakakkala mumunzi oyu kwamazuba aabili.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Kwakaba bambi biingibakamusyoma nkambo kajwi lyakwe.
42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
Bakati kumukayintu ooyu, “Tatuchisyomi nkambo kanzwawamba pe, pesi nkambo swebo tobeni twalimvwida, mpawo twaziba kuti nsonzyo oyu mufutuli wanyika”
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Nakiinda mazuba aya obile oko waya ku Galilaya.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Nkambo Jesu lwakwe mwini wakamba kuti musinsimi takwe bulemu muchisi mwazwa.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
Nakasika mu Galilaya, bantu bamu Galilaya bakamutambula. Bakali bazibona zyonse nzyakali wachita mu Jelusalemu chindi chapobwe, nkambo abalabo bakaliko kupobwe
46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Alimwi wakaboola lubo ku Kenani mu Galilaya, oko nkwaka sandula manzi kuba wayini. Elyo kwakali umwi sichuno ulemekwa wakala mwana wakali kuchiswa mu Kapenawume.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
Nakamvwa kuti Jesu wasika mu Galilaya kuzwa mu Judiya, wakaya kuli Jesu akumukumbila kuti aakaponie mwana wakwe, wakali wamba kufwa.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Jesu mpawo wakati kuli kulinguwe, “Ado mubone zitondezyo azigambyo, tamukosyoma”.
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Ooyu sichuno wakamwambila kuti, “Mwami, boola natana fwa mwanangu”.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
Jesu wakati kuli nguwe, “kooy. Mwanako ulapona”. Ooyu mwalumi wakasyoma majwi Jesu ngakamba kulinguwe, mpawo wakenda.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
Nakachili kuyobwenda wakaswanana aabalanda bakwe, bakamwambila kuti, mwanakwe muponi.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
Elyo wakababuzya chindi mwanakwe nakatalika kumvwa kabotu. Bakamwambila kuti, “jilo sikati nakapona”
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
Mpawo wisi wakayibalukwa kuti nchechindi awo Jesu, “Mwana wako wapona.” Elyo we lwakwe mwini abanganda yakwe bakasyoma.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Echi chakaba chitondezyo chabili echo Jesu nchakachita nakazwa mu Judiya kaya mu Galilay.
