John 4
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Awo Yesu bwe yamanya nti Abafalisaayo bategedde nti abantu bangi bafuuse bayigirizwa be, era ng’abatiza bangi okusinga Yokaana,
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
newaakubadde nga Yesu yennyini teyabatiza wabula abayigirizwa be, be baabatizanga,
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
n’ava e Buyudaaya n’addayo e Ggaliraaya.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
Kyali kimugwanira okuyita 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.
Awo n’atuuka mu kibuga ky’e Samaliya ekiyitibwa Sukali, nga kiri kumpi n’ekibanja Yakobo kye yawa mutabani we Yusufu.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Awo we waali oluzzi lwa Yakobo. Yesu yali akooye olw’olugendo lwe yatambula, n’atuula awo ku luzzi. Obudde bwali ng’essaawa mukaaga ez’omu ttuntu.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
Awo omukazi Omusamaliya bwe yajja okukima amazzi, Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mpa ku mazzi nnyweko.”
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa be baali bagenze mu kibuga okugulayo ku mmere.
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.)
Awo omukazi Omusamaliya n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe Omuyudaaya oyinza otya okusaba nze Omusamaliya amazzi okunywa?” Kubanga Abayudaaya nga tebakolagana na Basamaliya.
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.”
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Singa obadde omanyi ekirabo kya Katonda, n’oyo akugamba nti mpa nnywe ku mazzi bw’ali ggwe wandimusabye, naye yandikuwadde amazzi amalamu.”
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?
Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Ssebo, tolina kalobo, n’oluzzi luwanvu nnyo.
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?”
Ate n’ekirala, ggwe oli mukulu okusinga jjajjaffe Yakobo eyatuwa oluzzi luno ate nga yanywangamu ye n’abaana be n’ensolo ze?”
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Buli muntu yenna anywa ku mazzi gano ennyonta eriddamu okumuluma.
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.”
Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Ssebo, mpa ku mazzi ago, ennyonta eremenga kunnuma era nneme kujjanga wano kukima mazzi.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Genda oyite balo, okomewo.”
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Sirina baze!” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Oyogedde kituufu nti tolina balo.
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Kubanga walina babalo bataano, naye oyo gw’olina kaakano si balo. Ekyo oyogedde mazima.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Omukazi n’agamba Yesu nti, “Ssebo, ndaba ng’oli nnabbi.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Ku lusozi luno bajjajjaffe kwe baasinzizanga. Naye mmwe mugamba nti, Yerusaalemi kye kifo ekigwana okusinzizangamu.”
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.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mukazi wattu nzikiriza, kubanga ekiseera kijja kye mutalisinzizangamu Kitaffe ku lusozi luno wadde mu Yerusaalemi.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Mmwe musinza kye mutamanyi; ffe tusinza kye tumanyi kubanga obulokozi buva mu Buyudaaya.
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.
Naye ekiseera kijja, era kituuse, abo abasinziza mu mazima bwe banaasinzizanga Kitaffe mu mwoyo ne mu mazima. Kubanga Kitaffe anoonya abo abamusinza era n’abo abamusinza kibagwanira okumusinzanga mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Kubanga Katonda Mwoyo n’abo abamusinza kibagwanira okumusinza mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.”
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.”
Omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Weewaawo, mmanyi nti Masiya, gwe bayita Kristo, ajja. Ye bw’alijja, alitutegeeza ebintu byonna.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nze nzuuno ayogera naawe.”
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?”
Awo mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa ba Yesu ne bakomawo. Ne beewuunya okulaba ng’ayogera n’omukazi. Kyokka ne watabaawo amubuuza nsonga emwogezezza naye wadde bye babadde boogerako.
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
Awo omukazi n’aleka awo ensuwa ye n’agenda mu kibuga n’ategeeza abantu nti,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
“Mujje mulabe omuntu antegeezezza buli kye nnali nkoze. Ayinza okuba nga ye Kristo?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Ne bava mu kibuga ne bajja eri Yesu.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Mu kiseera ekyo abayigirizwa baali beegayirira Yesu alye ku mmere, nga bagamba nti, “Labbi lya ku mmere.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
N’abaddamu nti, “Nze nnina ekyokulya mmwe kye mutamanyi.”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Awo abayigirizwa ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Waliwo omuntu amuleetedde ekyokulya?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekyokulya kyange kwe kukola eyantuma by’ayagala, era n’okutuukiriza omulimu gwe.
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.
Mmwe temugamba nti, ‘Ekyasigaddeyo emyezi ena amakungula gatuuke?’ Kale muyimuse amaaso gammwe, mutunuulire ennimiro! Amakungula gatuuse.
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)
Akungula asasulwa empeera ye era n’akuŋŋaanyiza ebibala mu bulamu obutaggwaawo, olwo asiga n’akungula balyoke basanyukire wamu. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
Bwe kityo ekigambo nti, ‘Omu asiga omulala n’akungula,’ kyekiva kiba eky’amazima.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
Mbatumye mmwe okukungula kye mutaasiga. Abalala be baasiga naye mmwe mugobolodde.”
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.”
Abasamaliya bangi ab’omu kibuga abaamukkiririzaamu olw’ebyo omukazi bye yabategeeza, ng’abagamba nti, “Antegeezezza buli kye nnali nkoze!”
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Awo Abasamaliya bwe bajja eri Yesu ne bamwegayirira yeeyongere okubeera nabo, n’abeera nabo ennaku bbiri.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Bangi ne bakkiriza olw’ebyo bye yabategeeza.
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.”
Awo ne bagamba omukazi nti, “Tumukkiriza si lwa bigambo byo byokka, naye naffe twewuliridde ebigambo bye. Ddala tutegedde nga ye Mulokozi w’ensi.”
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Ennaku ezo ebbiri bwe zaggwaako, Yesu n’ava e Samaliya n’alaga e Ggaliraaya.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Ye yennyini yagamba nti, “Nnabbi taweebwa kitiibwa mu nsi gy’asibuka.”
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.
Awo Abagaliraaya ne bamwaniriza n’essanyu lingi nnyo, kubanga baali bamaze okulaba eby’amagero bye yakolera mu Yerusaalemi bwe baali ku Mbaga ey’Okuyitako.
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.
Yesu n’akomawo mu Kaana eky’e Ggaliraaya, gye yafuulira amazzi wayini. Waaliyo omukungu wa gavumenti ow’e Kaperunawumu eyalina mutabani we nga mulwadde.
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.
Omukungu bwe yawulira nga Yesu avudde e Buyudaaya azze e Ggaliraaya, n’agenda gy’ali n’amusaba agende amuwonyeze mutabani we eyali okumpi n’okufa.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Temusobola kunzikiriza nga temulabye ku bubonero na byamagero?”
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Omukungu n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, nkusaba oserengete ojje ng’omwana wange tannafa!”
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.
Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ggenda mutabani wo awonye!” Omusajja n’akkiriza Yesu ky’amugambye n’agenda.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
Naye bwe yali ng’akyali mu kkubo abaddu be ne bamusisinkana ne bamutegeeza nti mutabani we awonye.
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.”
N’ababuuza ekiseera omulenzi we yassuukidde. Ne bamuddamu nti, “Jjo olw’eggulo essaawa nga musanvu omusujja ne gumuwonako!”
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.
Awo Kitaawe w’omulenzi n’ajjukira nga ky’ekiseera ekyo Yesu we yamugambira nti, “Mutabani wo awonye.” Awo omukungu oyo n’ab’enju ye bonna ne bakkiriza.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Kino kye kyamagero ekyokubiri Yesu kye yakola ng’akomyewo e Ggaliraaya ng’avudde e Buyudaaya.
