Iohannem 4
1 Ut ergo cognovit Iesus quia audierunt Pharisæi quod Iesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Ioannes,
When therefore the Lord knew, that the Pharisees had heard—Jesus, more disciples, is making and immersing, than John, —
2 (quamquam Iesus non baptizaret, sed discipuli eius)
although indeed, Jesus himself, was not immersing, 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.
Now he must needs pass through Samaria.
5 Venit ergo in civitatem Samariæ, quæ dicitur Sichar: iuxta prædium, quod dedit Iacob Ioseph filio suo.
He cometh, therefore, unto a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground which Jacob gave unto Joseph his son.
6 Erat autem ibi fons Iacob. Iesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere, sedebat sic supra fontem. Hora erat quasi sexta.
Now Jacob’s fountain was there. Jesus, therefore, having become toil-worn with the journey, was sitting thus, upon the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Iesus: Da mihi bibere.
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her—Give me to drink!
8 (Discipuli enim eius abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.)
for, his disciples, had gone away into the city, that, food, they might buy.
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.
The Samaritan woman, therefore, saith unto him—How dost, thou, being, a Jew, ask to drink, of me, who am, a Samaritan woman? [for, Jews, have no dealings with 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 thou hadst known the free gift of God, and who it is that is saying unto thee, Give me to drink, thou, wouldst have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 Dicit ei mulier: Domine, neque in quo haurias habes, et puteus altus est: unde ergo habes aquam vivam?
She saith unto him—Sir! not even a bucket, hast thou, —and, the well, is, deep: —Whence, then, hast thou the 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?
Art, thou, greater than, our father Jacob, who gave us the well, —and, himself, out of it drank, and his sons, and his flocks?
13 Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Omnis, qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum:
Jesus answered, and said unto her—Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst, again;
15 Dicit ad eum mulier: Domine, da mihi hanc aquam, ut non sitiam: neque veniam huc haurire.
The woman saith unto him—Sir! give me this water, that I thirst not, neither be coming hither to draw.
16 Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc.
He saith unto her—Go, call thy husband, and come hither!
17 Respondit mulier, et dixit: Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Iesus: Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum:
The woman answered, and said [unto him]—I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her—Well, saidst thou, A husband, I have not;
18 quinque enim viros habuisti, et nunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir: hoc vere dixisti.
for, five husbands, thou hast had, —and, now, he whom thou hast, is not thy, husband: This true thing, hast thou spoken.
19 Dicit ei mulier: Domine, video quia Propheta es tu.
The woman saith unto him—Sir! I perceive that, a prophet, art, thou: —
20 Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Ierosolymis est locus, ubi adorare oportet.
Our fathers, in this mountain, worshipped; and, ye, say, that, in Jerusalem, is the place, where, to worship, it behoveth.
21 Dicit ei Iesus: Mulier crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Ierosolymis adorabitis Patrem.
Jesus saith unto her—Believe me, woman! There cometh an hour, when, neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
22 Vos adoratis quod nescitis: nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Iudæis est.
Ye, worship, that which ye know not; We, worship, that which we know; because, 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 there cometh an hour, and, now, is, —when, the real worshippers, shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for, even the Father, is seeking, such as these, as his worshippers.
24 Spiritus est Deus: et eos qui adorant eum, in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare.
God is, spirit; and, they that worship him, in spirit and truth, must needs worship.
25 Dicit ei mulier: Scio quia Messias venit, (qui dicitur Christus.) cum ergo venerit ille, nobis annunciabit omnia.
The woman saith unto him—I know that, Messiah, cometh, who is called Christ, —Whensoever, he, shall come, he will tell us, everything.
26 Dicit ei Iesus: Ego sum, qui loquor tecum.
Jesus saith unto her—I, that speak unto thee, 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, hereupon, came his disciples, and they began to marvel, that, with a woman, he was talking. No one, however, said—What seekest thou? or—Why talkest thou with her?
28 Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus:
The woman, therefore, left her water-vessel, and went away into the city, and saith unto the men—
29 Venite, et videte hominem, qui dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci: Numquid ipse est Christus?
Come! see a man, that told me all things that ever I did: Can, this, be, the Christ?
30 Exierunt ergo de civitate, et veniebant ad eum.
They came forth out of the city, and were coming unto him.
31 Interea rogabant eum discipuli, dicentes: Rabbi, manduca.
In the meantime, the disciples were requesting him, saying—Rabbi! eat.
32 Ille autem dicit eis: Ego cibum habeo manducare, quem vos nescitis.
But, he, said unto them—I, have, food, to eat, of which, ye, know not.
33 Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem: Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare?
The disciples, therefore, began to say, one to another—Hath anyone brought him, to eat?
34 Dicit eis Iesus: Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem eius, qui misit me, ut perficiam opus eius.
Jesus saith unto them—My food, is, that I should do the will of him that sent me, and complete, 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.
Are, ye, not saying—Yet, a fourmonth, it is, and, the harvest, cometh? Lo! I say unto you—Lift up your eyes, and gaze at the fields, —that, white, are they unto, harvest. Already,
36 Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam æternam: ut, et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit. (aiōnios g166)
he that reapeth, receiveth, a reward, and gathereth fruit unto life age-abiding; that, he that soweth, together may rejoice, with him that reapeth. (aiōnios g166)
37 In hoc enim est verbum verum: quia alius est qui seminat, et alius est qui metit.
For, herein, doth the saying, hold good, —One, is the sower, and, another, is the reaper.
38 Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis: alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis.
I, sent you forth, to be reaping that whereon, ye, have not toiled: Others, have toiled, and, ye, into their toil, have entered.
39 Ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum, propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis: Quia dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci.
And, out of that city, many, believed on him—of the Samaritans, —by reason of the word of the woman in bearing witness—He told me all things that ever I did.
40 Cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani, rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret. Et mansit ibi duos dies.
When, therefore, the Samaritans came unto him, they went on to request him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.
41 Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem eius.
And, many more, believed by reason of his discourse;
42 Et mulieri dicebant: Quia iam non propter tuam loquelam credimus: ipsi enim audivimus, et scimus quia hic est vere Salvator mundi.
and, unto the woman, began to say—No longer, by reason of thy talk, do we believe; for, we ourselves, have heard, and know that, This One, is, in truth, the Saviour of the world.
43 Post duos autem dies exiit inde: et abiit in Galilæam.
But, after the two days, he went forth from thence, into Galilee.
44 Ipse enim Iesus testimonium perhibuit quia Propheta in sua patria honorem non habet.
For, Jesus himself, bare witness, that, a prophet, in his own fatherland, hath not, honour.
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.
So, when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him, having seen, all things, whatsoever he had done in Jerusalem during 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 he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water, wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose son was sick, in 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.
The same, hearing that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, came away unto him, and began requesting him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was on the point of dying.
48 Dixit ergo Iesus ad eum: Nisi signa, et prodigia videritis, non creditis.
Jesus therefore said unto him—Except, signs and wonders, ye see, in nowise will ye believe.
49 Dicit ad eum regulus: Domine, descende prius quam moriatur filius meus.
The courtier saith unto him—Sir! come down, ere my child die!
50 Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni, quem dixit ei Iesus, et ibat.
Jesus saith unto him—Be going thy way: thy son, liveth! And the man believed in the word which Jesus spake to him, and at once went his way.
51 Iam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nunciaverunt dicentes, quia filius eius viveret.
And, when he was even now going down, his servants, met him, saying, that, his boy, was living.
52 Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis, in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei: Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris.
So he enquired the hour, from them, when he began, to amend. They said, therefore, 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 took note that it was, in that hour, wherein Jesus said unto him—Thy son, liveth! and he believed, he, and all his house.
54 Hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Iesus, cum venisset a Iudæa in Galilæam.
Now, this again, as, a second sign, Jesus did, after coming out of Judaea into Galilee.
