< John 4 >

1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
अब जब यूहन्‍नाले भन्‍दा येशूले धेरै चेलाहरू बनाउँदै हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो र बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो भनी फरिसीहरूले सुने भन्‍ने उहाँले थाहा गर्नुभयो,
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
(यद्यपि येशू आफैँले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै हुनुहुन्‍नथ्यो, तर उहाँका चेलाहरूले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै थिए)
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
उहाँ यहूदिया छोडेर गालीलतिर जानुभयो ।
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
तर उहाँ सामरिया भएर जानु आवश्‍यक थियो ।
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
त्‍यसैले, उहाँ याकूबले आफ्नो छोरा योसेफलाई दिएका जग्‍गाको टुक्रा नजिक रहेको सामरियाको सुखार भनिने एउटा सहरमा आउनुभयो ।
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
त्यहाँ याकूबको इनार थियो । येशू आफ्नो यात्राले थाक्‍नुभयो र इनारको छेउमा बस्‍नुभयो । यो छैठौँ घडीतिरको कुरा थियो ।
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
एक जना सामरी स्‍त्री पानी लिन आइन् र येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई पिउन थोरै पानी देऊ ।”
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
किनभने उहाँका चेलाहरू खानेकुरा किन्‍न सहरतिर गएका थिए ।
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.)
त्‍यसपछि सामरी स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “तपाईं एक जना यहूदी भएर पनि म एउटी सामरी स्‍त्रीसँग कसरी पिउने कुरा माग्‍नुभएको?” किनकि यहूदीहरूले समारीहरूसँग कुनै किसिमको लेनदेन गर्दैनन् ।
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.”
येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्‍नुभयो, “यदि तिमीले परमेश्‍वरको वरदानलाई चिनेकी भए र ‘मलाई पिउन देऊ’ भनिरहनुहुनेलाई चिनेकी भए, तिमीले चाहिँ उनीसँग माग्‍ने थियौ, र उनले तिमीलाई जिउँदो पानी दिने थिए ।”
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?
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन्, “महाशय, तपाईंसित बाल्‍टिन छैन; इनार पनि गहिरो छ । अनि तपाईंसँग जिउँदो पानी कहाँ छ त?
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?”
के तपाईं हाम्रा पुर्खा याकूबभन्‍दा महान् हुनुहुन्‍छ जसले हामीलाई इनार दिनुभयो र उहाँ आफैँले पनि यही इनारबाट पानी पिउनुभयो र उहाँका सन्‍तानहरू र उहाँका गाईवस्‍तुहरूले पनि पिए?”
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्‍नुभयो, “हरेक जस‍ले यो पानी पिउँछ, त्यो फेरि तिर्खाउनेछ,
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
तर जसले मैले दिने पानी पिउँछ, त्यो फेरि कहिल्यै तिर्खाउनेछैन । बरु, मैले दिने त्यो पानी त्‍यसको अन्‍तस्‍करणमा अनन्‍त जीवनसम्‍मै उम्रिरहने पानीको मूल बन्‍नेछ ।” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
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.”
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, मलाई यो पानी दिनुहोस्, ताकि म फेरि तिर्खाउनेछैन र यहाँ पानी लिन आउनुपर्नेछैन ।”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो लोग्‍नेलाई बोलाऊ, र यहाँ आऊ ।”
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिइन् र भनिन्, “मेरो लोग्‍ने छैन ।” येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “‘मेरो लोग्‍ने छैन’ भनी तिमीले साँचो भनेकी छ्यौ ।
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
किनकि तिम्रा पाँच जना लोग्‍ने भइसकेका छन् र अहिले भएको पनि तिम्रो लोग्‍ने होइन । तिमीले भनेकी कुरो साँचो हो ।”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “महाशय, तपाईं अगमवक्‍ता हुनुहुन्छ भनी म देख्‍छु ।
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले यही पर्वतमा आराधना गरे, तर मानिसहरूले आराधना गर्नुपर्ने स्‍थान यरूशलेम नै हो भनी तपाईंहरू भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।”
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.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हे नारी, मलाई विश्‍वास गर । समय आइरहेको छ, तिमीहरूले पितालाई न यो पर्वतमा न त यरूशलेममा नै आराधना गर्नेछौ ।
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
तिमीहरूले जे जान्दैनौ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौ । हामी जे जान्दछौँ, त्यसैको आराधना गर्छौं, किनकि उद्धार यहूदीहरूबाट नै आउँछ ।
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.
तापनि, साँचा आराधकहरूले पितालाई आत्‍मा र सत्‍यतामा आराधना गर्ने बेला आइरहेको छ र त्यो अहिले नै हो, किनकि पिताले आफ्ना आराधकहरू हुन यस्‍ता मानिसहरूको खोजी गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍छ ।
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
परमेश्‍वर आत्‍मा हुनुहुन्‍छ र उहाँलाई आराधना गर्ने मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई आत्‍मा र सत्‍यतामा आराधना गर्नुपर्छ ।”
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.”
स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “(ख्रीष्‍ट भनिने) मसीह आउँदै हुनुहुन्‍छ भन्‍ने मलाई थाहा छ, जब उहाँ आउनुहुन्‍छ, उहाँले हामीलाई सबै कुरा बताउनुहुनेछ ।”
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
येशूले त्यसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीसँग कुराकानी गरिरहने, म उही नै हुँ ।”
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?”
त्‍यही बेला उहाँका चेलाहरू आइपुगे । उहाँ स्‍त्रीसित किन कुराकानी गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍थ्यो भनी तिनीहरू चकित भइरहेका थिए, तर “तपाईं के चाहनुहुन्‍छ?” वा “किन तपाईं त्‍यससँग कुराकानी गर्दै हुनुहुन्‍छ?” भनी कसैले पनि भनेन ।
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
त्‍यसैले, ती स्‍त्रीले आफ्नो गाग्रो छोडेर सहरतिर गइन् र मानिसहरूलाई भनिन्,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
“आओ, मैले गरेका सबै कुराहरू मलाई बताइदिनुहुने मानिसलाई हेर । उहाँ नै ख्रीष्‍ट हुन सक्छ, हुन सक्दैन त?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
तिनीहरू सहरबाट उहाँकहाँ आए ।
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
त्‍यसै बेला चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यसो भन्‍दै अनुरोध गरिरहेका थिए, “रब्‍बी, खानुहोस् ।”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मसँग खानेकुरा छ जुन तिमीहरू जान्दैनौ ।”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
त्‍यसकारण, चेलाहरूले एक आपसमा भने, “उहाँलाई कुनै खानेकुरा कसैले ल्‍याएको छैन, ल्‍याएको छ र?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जसले मलाई पठाउनुभयो, उहाँको इच्‍छा र उहाँको काम पुरा गर्नु नै मेरो खानेकुरा हो ।
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.
अझ पनि चार महिना छ र त्‍यसपछि कटनी गर्ने समय आउनेछ भनी के तिमीहरू भन्‍दैनौ? म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍दै छु, हेर र खेतलाई देख, किनकि तिनीहरू कटनीको निम्‍ति अगि नै पाकिसकेका छन् ।
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)
जसले कटनी गर्छ, त्यसले ज्याला पाउँछ र अनन्‍त जीवनको निम्‍ति फल बटुल्‍छ, ताकि छर्ने र कटनी गर्ने सँगसँगै रमाउन सकून् । (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
किनकि एउटाले छर्छ र अर्काले कटनी गर्छ भन्‍ने यो भनाइ यसैमा साँचो छ ।
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
तिमीहरूले काम नगरेका कुरा कटनी गर्न मैले तिमीहरूलाई पठाएँ । अरूहरूले काम गरेका छन्, र तिमीहरू उनीहरूका श्रममा प्रवेश गरेका छौ ।”
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.”
“मैले गरेका सबै कुरा उहाँले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो” भनी स्‍त्रीले दिएको गवाहीले गर्दा त्‍यस सहरमा बसोबास गर्ने धेरै सामरीहरूले उहाँमा विश्‍वास गरे ।
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
त्यसैले, जब सामरीहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूसँग बस्‍न आग्रह गरे र उहाँ त्‍यहाँ दुई दिन बस्‍नुभयो ।
41 Many more believed because of his word.
उहाँको वचनको कारणले गर्दा धेरै जनाले विश्‍वास गरे ।
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.”
तिनीहरूले ती स्‍त्रीलाई भने, “तिमीले भनेकी कारणले हामी विश्‍वास गर्दैनौँ, किनकि हामी आफैँले सुनेका छौँ र हामी जान्दछौँ, कि उहाँ नै संसारका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्‍छ ।”
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
दुई दिनपछि उहाँ त्‍यहाँबाट गालील प्रस्थान गर्नुभयो ।
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
किनकि येशू आफैँले घोषणा गर्नुभयो, कि अगमवक्‍तालाई उसको आफ्नै गाउँमा आदर गरिँदैन ।
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.
जब उहाँ गालीलमा आउनुभयो, गालीलीहरूले उहाँलाई स्‍वागत गरे । यरूशलेमको चाडमा उहाँले गर्नुभएका सबै कुराहरू तिनीहरूले देखेका थिए, किनकि तिनीहरू पनि चाडमा गएका थिए ।
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.
अब उहाँले पानीलाई दाखमद्यमा परिणत गर्नुभएको गालीलको काना सहरमा उहाँ फेरि आउनुभयो । त्यहाँ एक जना राजकीय अधिकारी थिए जसको छोरा कर्फनहुममा बिरामी थिए ।
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.
जब येशू यहूदियाबाट गालील आउनुभएको तिनले सुने, तिनी येशूकहाँ गए र उहाँ आएर तिनका मर्न लागेका छोरालाई निको पारिदिनुहोस् भनी उहाँलाई बिन्‍ती गरे ।
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
तब येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “चिह्न‍हरू र आश्‍चर्यकर्महरू नदेखेसम्‍म तिमीहरूले विश्‍वास गर्नेछैनौ ।”
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
ती अधिकारीले उहाँलाई भने, “महाशय, मेरो छोरो मर्नुअगावै आउनुहोस् ।”
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.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्‍छ ।” येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभएको वचन तिनले विश्‍वास गरे, र तिनी आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
तिनी जाँदै गर्दा, तिनका छोरो जीवित भए भन्दै तिनका नोकरहरूले तिनलाई भेटे ।
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.”
यसकारण, उसको सुधार कति बेलादेखि भएको थियो भनी तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हिजो सातौँ घडीमा उसलाई ज्‍वरोले छोड्यो ।”
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.
त्‍यसपछि यो येशूले “तिम्रो छोरा बाँच्‍छ” भन्‍नुभएको घडी थियो भन्‍ने ती बुबाले महसुस गरे । यसकारण तिनी र तिनका आफ्ना सम्‍पूर्ण घरानाले विश्‍वास गरे ।
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
येशू यहूदियाबाट गालीलमा आउँनुहुँदा उहाँले गर्नुभएको यो दोस्रो चिह्न‍ थियो ।
