John 4
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Vafalisayu vayuwini kuvya Yesu avi mukupata vawuliwa vamahele na kuvabatiza kuliku Yohani.
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
Ndi chakaka kuvya Yesu mwene abatiza lepi, nambu vawuliwa vaki ndi vevabatizayi vandu.
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
Hinu Yesu peagayuwini genago, akawuka ku Yudea na kuwuya ku Galilaya.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
Mulugendu lwenulo yamganili kuvedukila kumulima wa Samaliya.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Ndi peahikili muji umonga pamulima wa Samaliya weukemiwa Sikali, papipi na mgunda wa Yakobo weampelilli mwana waki, mweikemiwa Yosefu.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Pandu penapo pavi na chiliva cha Yakobo, na Yesu ndava ya kutotokela na lugendu, akatama pamuhana ya chiliva. Yavili ngati lukumbi lwa muhi.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
Kangi, akabwela mdala mmonga mkolonjinji wa ku Samaliya kunega manji. Yesu akamjovela, “Nipelayi manji ninywayi.”
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Lukumbi lwenulo vawuliwa vaki vahambili kumuji kugula chakulya.
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.)
Nambu mdala yula akamjovela, “Veve wa Myawudi, na nene namdala msamaliya! Uhotola wuli kuniyupa manji?” Muni Vayawudi na Vasamaliya katu vitama lepi pamonga.
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 akamyangula, “Ngati kuvya umanyayi chindu chechiwusiwa na Chapanga ndi yani mweakukujovela, ‘nipelayi manji ninywai,’ Ngawamali, kumuyupa manji gegileta wumi.”
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?
Mdala yula akamjovela, “Bambu, veve wangali ndeve ya kunegela manji, na chiliva chinyoliki. Ugapata koki manji gegavi na wumi?
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?”
Wu, veve ukujikita wa mkulu kuliku dadi witu Yakobo? Mwene ndi mweatipelili chiliva ichi, mwene na vana vaki pamonga na mifuya yaki vanywayi manji ga chiliva ichi.”
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Yesu akamyangula, “Yoyoha mweinywa manji aga yati ivya na njota kavili.
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.”
Mdala mwenuyo akamjovela, “Bambu, unipela manji genago muni nikotoka kuvya na njota kavili na nikotoka kubwela penapa kunega manji.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Yesu akamjovela, “Uhamba ukamkemela mngwana waku, ubwela nayu penapa.”
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
Mdala yula akayangula, “Nene nangali mgosi.” Yesu akamjovela “Uyangwili chakaka, wangali mgosi.
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
Muni wavi na vagosi mhanu, na mgosi mweutama nayu hinu mgosi waku lepi. Penapo ujovili chakaka.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Mdala yula akamjovela, “Bambu, niwona kuvya veve wa mlota wa Chapanga.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Vagogo vitu vamufugamila Chapanga kuchitumbi ichi, nambu nyenye mwijova kuvya pandu pa kumuyupila Chapanga ndi ku Yelusalemu.”
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 akamjovela “Unisadika chenijova lwalabwela lukumbi nakumfugamila Dadi, panani ya chitumbi amala ku Yelusalemu kula.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Nyenye Vasamaliya mukumfugamila yula mwangammanya, nambu tete tikumfugamila yula mwetimumanyili, ndava muni usangula wihuma kwa Vayawudi.
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.
Nambu lukumbi lubwela, kangi lumali kubwela ndi vala vandu vevakumfugamila kwa uchakaka, yati vamfugamila Dadi mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi na chakaka. Muni dadi akuvagana vandu vamfugamila chenicho.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Chapanga ndi Mpungu na vandu vevamfugamila yikuvagana vamfugamila Dadi mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi na kuumanya uchakaka.”
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.”
Mdala yula akamjovela, “Nimanyili kuvya Msangula mweikemiwa Kilisitu ibwela. Peibwela yati akutimanyisa tete kila chindu.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Yesu akamjovela, “Nene mwenilongela na veve ndi mwene.”
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?”
Bahapo vawuliwa vaki vakawuya, na kukangasa neju pavamuweni ilongela na mdala. Nambu kawaka mundu mweajovili, “Ugana kyani?” Amala, “Ndava kyani wilongela na mdala?”
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
Hinu, mdala yula akachileka chihulu chaki palapala na kuhamba kumuji na kuvajovela vandu,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
“Mbwela mukamlola mundu mweanijovili mambu goha genikitili! Wu, yihotoleka kuvya ndi Kilisitu Msangula?”
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Vandu vakawuka kumuji na kumuhambila Yesu.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Lukumbi lwenulo vawuliwa vaki vamyupili neju Yesu, “Muwula, ulyayi chakulya.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Nene nivii nachu chakulya chemwangachimanya nyenye.”
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Vawuliwa vaki vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Wu, avi mundu mweamletili chakulya?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Yesu akavajovela, “Chakulya changu ndi kuhenga geigana yula mweanitumili na kumalakisa lihengu laki.
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.
Nyenye mwijova, ‘Yakona miheyi mcheche ndu na lukumbi lwa kubena yati lubwela!’ Nambu nene nikuvajovela, myinula mihu ginu mlola migunda, mabenu gakangili giganikiwa kubenwa!
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)
Yula mweibena ipokela luhuna lweluganikiwa kupewa kwa lihengu laki, na kuyola mabenu ndava ya wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu, muni mweimija na mbenaji vihekelela pamonga. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
Vandu pevijova kuvya ‘Mundu mmonga imija na mundu yungi ibena, luhumu ulu ndi chakaka.’
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
Nene navatumili nyenye mkabena changali lihengu, vangi vahengili lihengu, nambu nyenye mupatili utangatila ndava ya lihengu lavi.”
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.”
Vasamaliya vamahele pachijiji chila vamsadiki Yesu ndava ya malovi geajovili mau yula, “Anijovili mambu goha genihengili.”
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Vasamaliya vamhambili Yesu vakamuyupa neju atama navu, namwene akatama navu magono gavili.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Vandu vamahele, vamsadiki Yesu ndava ya malovi gaki.
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.”
Vakamjovela mdala yula, “Tete tisadika, nambu lepi ndava ya malovi gaku, muni tavete tiyuwini na timanyili kuvya mwenuyu ndi chakaka Msangula wa vandu va pamulima.”
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Pagamaliki magono gavili, Yesu akawuka penapo, akahamba ku Galilaya.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Muni Yesu mwene ajovili hotohoto kuvya, “Mlota wa Chapanga nakuyidakiliwa pamulima waki.”
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.
Hinu peahikili ku Galilaya, Vagalilaya vamahele vampokili. Ndava vagawene goha geahengili ku Yelusalemu, muni navene vavi kukoko kumselebuko wa Pasaka.
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.
Kangi Yesu ahikili kavili ku Kana, kumuji wa Galilaya, pandu peang'anamwisi manji kuvya divayi. Kwenuko kwavi na chilongosi mmonga wa chinkosi mweavi na mwana waki mtamu ku Kapelanaumu.
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.
Chilongosi yula peayuwini kuvya Yesu ahumili ku Yudea na kuhika ku Galilaya, akamhambila na kumuyupa ahamba akamlamisa mwana waki mweavi mulung'olelu.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Yesu akamjovela, “Nyenye changalola ulangisu na gachinamtiti katu mwisadika lepi!”
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Yula chilongosi akamjovela, “Bambu, chondi tihamba kwakona mwana vangu kufwa.”
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.
Yesu akamjovela, “Uhambayi, mwana waku yati ilama.” Mundu yula akasadika malovi ga Yesu, akahamba.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
Peavi akona munjila akakonganeka na vatumisi vaki, vakamjovela kuvya mwana waku alamili!
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.”
Mwene akavakota lukumbi msongolo pealamili, vene vakamyangula, “Golo saa saba ya muhi, utamu wamuhumili.”
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.
Dadi yula akamanya kuvya lwavi lukumbi lulolo, Yesu peamjovili “Mwana waku yati ilama.” Penapo mwene pamonga na valongo vaki vakamsadika Yesu.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Wenuwu wavi ulangisu wa kukangasa weahengili Yesu peawukili ku Yudea kuhamba ku Galilaya.
