Sione 4
1 Pea ko ia, ʻi he ʻilo ʻe he ʻEiki kuo fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻoku ului pea papitaiso ʻe Sisu ʻae kau ākonga tokolahi ʻia Sione,
When Jesus realized that the Pharisees had discovered that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John,
2 (Ka naʻe ʻikai fai papitaiso ʻe Sisu, ka ko ʻene kau ākonga, )
(although it wasn't Jesus who was baptizing, but his disciples),
3 Naʻe mahuʻi ia mei Siutea, pea toe ʻalu ki Kāleli.
he left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4 Pea naʻe totonu ke ʻalu atu ʻi Samēlia.
On the way he had to pass through Samaria.
5 Pea hoko ia ki ha kolo ʻo Samēlia, naʻe ui ko Saika, ʻo ofi ki he potu fonua naʻe foaki ʻe Sēkope ki hono foha ko Siosefa.
So he came to the Samaritan city of Sychar, near to the field that Jacob had given his son Joseph.
6 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae vai keli ʻo Sēkope. Pea kuo hela ʻa Sisu ʻi he fononga, pea nofo ia ʻi he [ngutu ]vai: pea ko hono ono nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, who was tired from the journey, sat straight down beside the well. It was around noon.
7 Mo ʻene ʻalu ange ha fefine Samēlia ke ʻutu vai: pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Foaki mai kiate au ke u inu.”
A Samaritan woman came to fetch water. Jesus said to her, “Please could you give me a drink?”
8 (He kuo ʻalu ʻene kau ākonga ki he kolo ke fakatau meʻakai.)
for his disciples had gone to the town to buy food.
9 Pea pehēange ʻe he fefine Samēlia kiate ia, “Ko e Siu koe, pea ʻoku fēfeeʻi hoʻo tala inu kiate au, ko e fefine Samēlia?” He ʻoku ʻikai feʻofoʻofani ʻae kakai Siu mo e kakai Samēlia.
“You're a Jew, and I'm a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” the woman replied, for Jews don't associate with Samaritans.
10 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ka ne ke ʻilo ʻe koe ʻae foaki ʻae ʻOtua, pea mo ia ʻoku pehē kiate koe, Foaki mai kiate au ke u inu; pehē, kuo ke kole kiate ia, ka ne foaki kiate koe ʻae vai moʻui.”
Jesus answered her, “If you only recognized God's gift, and who is asking you, ‘Please could you give me a drink?’ you would have asked him and he would have given you the water of life.”
11 Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai haʻo meʻa ke ʻutu ʻaki, pea ʻoku māʻulalo ʻae vai: pea ʻoku ke maʻu mei fē ʻae vai moʻui ko ia?
“Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get the water of life from?” she replied.
12 ʻOku ke lahi koe ʻi heʻemau tamai ko Sēkope, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻae vai kiate kimautolu, pea naʻe inu ai ia, mo ʻene fānau, mo ʻene fanga manu?”
“Our father Jacob gave us the well. He drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock. Are you greater than he?”
13 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko ia ʻoku inu ʻi he vai ni, ʻe toe fieinu ia:
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks water from this well will become thirsty again.
15 Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻEiki, foaki mai ʻae vai ni kiate au, ke ʻoua naʻaku fieinu pe haʻu ki heni ke ʻutu.”
“Sir,” replied the woman, “Please give me this water so I won't be thirsty, and I won't have to come here to fetch water!”
16 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo ui ho husepāniti, pea haʻu ki heni.”
“Go and call your husband, and come back here,” Jesus told her.
17 Pea leaange ʻae fefine, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai haku husepāniti.” Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku moʻoni hoʻo lea, ʻOku ʻikai haku husepāniti:
“I don't have a husband,” the woman answered. “You're right in saying you don't have a husband,” Jesus told her.
18 He naʻa ke maʻu ʻae husepāniti ʻe toko nima; pea ko ia ʻoku ke maʻu ni, ʻoku ʻikai ko ho husepāniti: he meʻa ko ia kuo ke lea moʻoni.”
“You've had five husbands, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. So what you say is true!”
19 Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo u ʻilo ni ko e palōfita ʻa koe.
“I can see you're a prophet, sir,” the woman replied.
20 Naʻe hū ʻemau ngaahi tamai ʻi he moʻunga ko eni; ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu, ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema ʻae potu ʻoku totonu ke fai ai ʻe he kakai ʻae hū.”
“Tell me this: our ancestors worshiped here on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is where we must worship.”
21 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Fefine, tui mai kiate au, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, ʻe ʻikai te mou hū ai ki he Tamai ʻi he moʻunga ni, pē ʻi Selūsalema.
Jesus replied, “Believe me the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mou hū ki ai: ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mau hū ki ai: he ʻoku mei he kakai Siu ʻae fakamoʻui.
You really don't know the God you're worshiping, while we worship the God we know, for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 Ka ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, pea kuo hoko ni, ʻe hū ai ki he Tamai ʻae kakai hū moʻoni ʻi he laumalie mo e mo'oni: he 'oku kumi 'e he Tamai ʻae kakai pehē ke hū kiate ia.
But the time is coming—and in fact it's here already—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for these are the kind of worshipers the Father wants.
24 Ko e ʻOtua ko e Laumālie: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku hū kiate ia, ʻoku totonu ke hū ʻi he laumālie mo e moʻoni.”
God is Spirit, so worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
25 Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku haʻu ʻae Misaia (ʻoku ui ko Kalaisi): pea ka haʻu ia, te ne fakahā ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimautolu.”
The woman said, “Well, I know that the Messiah is coming,” (the one who is called Christ). “When he comes he will explain it all to us.”
26 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko au ia ʻoku ou lea kiate koe.”
Jesus replied, “I AM—the one who is speaking to you.”
27 Pea feʻunga mo ia, kuo haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau ofo ʻi heʻene talanoa mo e fefine: ka naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe ha taha, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kumi?” pē, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke talanoa ai mo ia?”
Just then the disciples returned. They were shocked that he was talking to a woman, but none of them asked “What are you doing?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 “Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he fefine ʻene hina vai, pea ʻalu ki he kolo, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai,
The woman left her water jar behind and ran back to the town, telling the people,
29 “Haʻu, ʻo mamata ki he tangata, kuo ne tala kiate au ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fai: ko e Kalaisi eni pe ʻikai?”
“Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”
30 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ai mei he kolo, ʻo haʻu kiate ia.
So they went out of the town to go and see him.
31 Pea lolotonga ia, naʻe fakakolekole ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Lāpai, ke ke kai.”
Meanwhile Jesus' disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, please eat something!”
32 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ai ʻeku meʻa ke kai ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻiloa.”
But Jesus replied, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33 Ko ia naʻe fepehēʻaki ai ʻae kau ākonga, “Kuo ʻomi ʻe ha tangata haʻane meʻa ke kai?”
“Did someone bring him food?” the disciples asked one another.
34 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku meʻakai ko e fai ʻae loto ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau au, pea fakaʻosi ʻene ngāue.
Jesus told them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 ʻIkai ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Ko e māhina ʻe fā, pea hoko ʻae ututaʻu?’ Vakai, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Hanga hake homou mata, ʻo vakai ki he ngaahi ngoue; he ʻoku hina ia ki he ututaʻu.
Don't you have a saying, ‘four more months until harvest?’ Open your eyes and look around! The crops in the fields are ripe, ready for harvest.
36 Pea ko ia ʻoku tuʻusi ʻoku maʻu ʻae totongi ʻo ne tānaki ʻae fua ki he moʻui taʻengata: koeʻuhi ke fiefia fakataha ʻaia ʻoku tūtuuʻi mo ia ʻoku tuʻusi. (aiōnios g166)
The reaper is being paid and harvesting a crop for eternal life so that both the sower and the reaper can celebrate. (aiōnios g166)
37 Pea ʻi he meʻa ni ʻoku moʻoni ai ʻae tala ko ia, ‘ʻOku tūtuuʻi ʻe he tokotaha, kae tuʻusi ʻe ha taha kehe.’
So the proverb ‘one sows, another reaps,’ is true.
38 Naʻaku fekau ʻakimoutolu ke tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ngāue ki ai: naʻe ngāue ʻae kau tangata kehe, pea ʻoku mou maʻu ʻenau ngāue.”
I sent you to reap what you didn't work for. Others did the hard work and you have reaped the benefits of what they did.”
39 Pea naʻe tui kiate ia ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kakai Samēlia, ʻi he kolo ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he lea ʻae fefine, ʻi heʻene pehē, “Naʻa ne tala kiate au ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fai.”
Many Samaritans from that town trusted in him because of what the woman said: “He told me everything I ever did.”
40 Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻae kakai Samēlia kiate ia, naʻa nau fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne nofo mo kinautolu: pea naʻe nofo ai ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ua.
So when they came to see him they pleaded with him to stay with them. He stayed for two days,
41 Pea tui ʻae tokolahi kehe ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lea ʻaʻana;
and because of what he told them many more trusted in him.
42 ʻO nau pehē ki he fefine, “Ko eni ʻoku mau tui, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoʻo lea: he kuo mau fanongo ʻekimautolu, pea mau ʻilo ko e Kalaisi moʻoni eni, ko e Fakamoʻui ʻo māmani.”
They said to the woman, “Now our trust in him isn't just because of what you told us but because we have heard him for ourselves. We're convinced that he really is the Savior of the world.”
43 Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ua, naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai, ʻo fononga ki Kāleli.
After the two days he continued on to Galilee.
44 “Ka naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe Sisu, ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa ʻi hono fonua.”
Jesus himself had made the comment that a prophet is not respected in his own country.
45 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki Kāleli, naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he kakai Kāleli, he naʻa nau mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he kātoanga: he naʻa nau ʻalu foki ki he kātoanga.
But when he arrived in Galilee, the people welcomed him, because they had also been at the Passover feast and had seen everything he'd done in Jerusalem.
46 Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Kena ʻo Kāleli, naʻa ne liliu ai ʻae vai ko e uaine. Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻeiki naʻe mahaki hono foha ʻi Kapaneume.
He visited Cana in Galilee again, where he had turned water into wine. Nearby in the town of Capernaum lived a royal official whose son was very sick.
47 Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo kuo haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Siutea ki Kāleli, ne ne ʻalu ki ai, ʻo ne fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne ʻalu hifo, ʻo fakamoʻui hono foha: he kuo ofi ʻene mate.
When he heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and begged him to come and heal his son who was close to death.
48 Pea tala ʻe Sisu, kiate ia, “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou mamata ki he ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e meʻa fakaofo, ʻe ʻikai te mou tui.”
“Unless you see signs and wonders you people really won't trust me,” said Jesus.
49 Pea talaange ʻe he tangataʻeiki kiate ia, ʻEiki, keta ō hifo, naʻa mate hoku foha.
“Lord, just come before my child dies,” the official pleaded.
50 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe ʻoku moʻui ho foha.” Pea tui ʻae tangata ki he lea kuo lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu kiate ia, pea ʻalu ia.
“Go on home,” Jesus told him. “Your son will live!” The man trusted what Jesus told him and left for home.
51 Pea ʻi heʻene kei ʻalu, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻonau tala [kiate ]ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku moʻui ho foha.”
While he was on his way, his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and recovering.
52 Pea fehuʻi ai ia kiate kinautolu ki he feituʻulaʻā naʻe kamata moʻui ai ia. Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻAneafi ʻi hono fitu ʻoe feituʻulaʻā naʻe mahuʻi ʻae mofi ʻiate ia.”
He asked them what time it was when his son began to get better. “Yesterday at one p.m. the fever left him,” they told him.
53 Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe he tamai ko e feituʻulaʻā pe ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate ia, ʻOku moʻui ho foha: pea naʻe tui ai ia, pea mo hono fale kotoa pē.
Then the father realized this was the precise time when Jesus had told him, “Your son will live!” So he and everyone in his household trusted in Jesus.
54 Ko hono ua eni ʻoe mana naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, ʻi heʻene haʻu mei Siutea ki Kāleli.
This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
