Iohannem 4
1 Ut ergo cognovit Iesus quia audierunt Pharisæi quod Iesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Ioannes,
When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (quamquam Iesus non baptizaret, sed discipuli eius)
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, )
3 reliquit Iudæam, et abiit iterum in Galilæam.
He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Oportebat autem eum transire per Samariam.
And he must essentially go through Samaria.
5 Venit ergo in civitatem Samariæ, quæ dicitur Sichar: iuxta prædium, quod dedit Iacob Ioseph filio suo.
Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Erat autem ibi fons Iacob. Iesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere, sedebat sic supra fontem. Hora erat quasi sexta.
Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Iesus: Da mihi bibere.
There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (Discipuli enim eius abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.)
(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.)
9 Dicit ergo ei mulier illa Samaritana: Quomodo tu Iudæus cum sis, bibere a me poscis, quæ sum mulier Samaritana? Non enim coutuntur Iudæi Samaritanis.
Then says the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Si scires donum Dei, et quis est, qui dicit tibi: Da mihi bibere: tu forsitan petisses ab eo, et dedisset tibi aquam vivam.
Jesus answered and said unto her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
11 Dicit ei mulier: Domine, neque in quo haurias habes, et puteus altus est: unde ergo habes aquam vivam?
The woman says unto him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then have you that living water?
12 Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Iacob, qui dedit nobis puteum, et ipse ex eo bibit, et filii eius, et pecora eius?
Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Omnis, qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum:
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
15 Dicit ad eum mulier: Domine, da mihi hanc aquam, ut non sitiam: neque veniam huc haurire.
The woman says unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
16 Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc.
Jesus says unto her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
17 Respondit mulier, et dixit: Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Iesus: Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum:
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, You have well said, I have no husband:
18 quinque enim viros habuisti, et nunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir: hoc vere dixisti.
For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
19 Dicit ei mulier: Domine, video quia Propheta es tu.
The woman says unto him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Ierosolymis est locus, ubi adorare oportet.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and all of you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Dicit ei Iesus: Mulier crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Ierosolymis adorabitis Patrem.
Jesus says unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when all of you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Vos adoratis quod nescitis: nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Iudæis est.
All of you worship all of you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 Sed venit hora, et nunc est, quando veri adoratores adorabunt Patrem in spiritu et veritate. Nam et Pater tales quærit, qui adorent eum.
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit (pneuma) and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
24 Spiritus est Deus: et eos qui adorant eum, in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare.
God is a Spirit: (pneuma) and they that worship him must worship him in spirit (pneuma) and in truth.
25 Dicit ei mulier: Scio quia Messias venit, (qui dicitur Christus.) cum ergo venerit ille, nobis annunciabit omnia.
The woman says unto him, I know that Messiah comes, which is called Christ: when he has come, he will tell us all things.
26 Dicit ei Iesus: Ego sum, qui loquor tecum.
Jesus says unto her, I that speak unto you am he.
27 Et continuo venerunt discipuli eius: et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur. Nemo tamen dixit: Quid quæris, aut Quid loqueris cum ea?
And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
28 Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus:
The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and says to the men,
29 Venite, et videte hominem, qui dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci: Numquid ipse est Christus?
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Exierunt ergo de civitate, et veniebant ad eum.
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 Interea rogabant eum discipuli, dicentes: Rabbi, manduca.
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 Ille autem dicit eis: Ego cibum habeo manducare, quem vos nescitis.
But he said unto them, I have food to eat that all of you know not of.
33 Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem: Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare?
Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Dicit eis Iesus: Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem eius, qui misit me, ut perficiam opus eius.
Jesus says unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Nonne vos dicitis, Quod adhuc quattuor menses sunt, et messis venit? Ecce, dico vobis: Levate oculos vestros, et videte regiones, quia albæ sunt iam ad messem.
Say not all of you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam æternam: ut, et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit unto life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 In hoc enim est verbum verum: quia alius est qui seminat, et alius est qui metit.
And herein is that saying (logos) true, One sows, and another reaps.
38 Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis: alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis.
I sent you to reap that whereon all of you bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and all of you are entered into their labours.
39 Ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum, propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis: Quia dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci.
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying (logos) of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 Cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani, rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret. Et mansit ibi duos dies.
So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem eius.
And many more believed because of his own word; (logos)
42 Et mulieri dicebant: Quia iam non propter tuam loquelam credimus: ipsi enim audivimus, et scimus quia hic est vere Salvator mundi.
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 Post duos autem dies exiit inde: et abiit in Galilæam.
Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 Ipse enim Iesus testimonium perhibuit quia Propheta in sua patria honorem non habet.
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 Cum ergo venisset in Galilæam, exceperunt eum Galilæi, cum omnia vidissent quæ fecerat Ierosolymis in die festo: et ipsi enim venerant ad diem festum.
Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilææ, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cuius filius infirmabatur Capharnaum.
So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Hic cum audisset quia Iesus adveniret a Iudæa in Galilæam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium eius: incipiebat enim mori.
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Dixit ergo Iesus ad eum: Nisi signa, et prodigia videritis, non creditis.
Then said Jesus unto him, Except all of you see signs and wonders, all of you will not believe.
49 Dicit ad eum regulus: Domine, descende prius quam moriatur filius meus.
The nobleman says unto him, Sir, come down before my child die.
50 Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni, quem dixit ei Iesus, et ibat.
Jesus says unto him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word (logos) that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 Iam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nunciaverunt dicentes, quia filius eius viveret.
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives.
52 Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis, in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei: Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris.
Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat, in qua dixit ei Iesus: Filius tuus vivit: et credidit ipse, et domus eius tota.
So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 Hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Iesus, cum venisset a Iudæa in Galilæam.
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
