John 4 (AMO) · Opened

1Na Yesu wa yinin a Farisawa nmal lanzu ame din sesu nnono katwa gbardan a ashinto nani nmyen, ikata nin Yuhana,When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2(kona ame Yesu nin litimaere wa shintu anite nmyene ba, non katwa mere wa suzu),(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3awa sun u Yahudiya a nya udu u Galili.He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4Uni wasoghe gbas akata nanya in Samariya.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Amini wa dak nkan kipin in Samariye, idin yiccu kinin Sacer, susut nin kunen kongo na Yakub wani usaune Yusufu.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Kuwu nmyen Yakubu wadi kite, Yesu wa dira nin cin me a so kupo kuwe. Uwui wadi umal dak ati.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Umong uwanin Samariya da nda tiwu nmyen, Yesu woroghe, “Filli nmyen nsono.”When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8Bara nono katwa me wa do nseru nimoli nanya kipin.(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Uwana Samariya tunna aworoghe, “Inyizari nta fe Kuyahudawa, udin tiru menku, uwani Nasamariyawa nmyen sonu?” Bara na Ayahudawa din su ligo nan Nasamariyawa ba.“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

10Yesu kwaghe aworo, “Ndaeo uyiru Kutelle nin lenge na aworofi filli nmyen nsonu fe wa tiringhe anifi nmyen nlai.”Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

11Uwane kawaghe, “Cikilari, na udinin guga ntiweba, a kuwu nmyene kongo cancom, fe ma se nmyen nlaiye nweri?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Fe katin Ucif bite ku Yakube, na ana ni nari kuwe ame wang na soku umunu nono nin nina me?”Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Yesu kawaghe aworo, “vat nnit ulenge na asono mongo nmyene ama kuru a lanza ukotu nayi tutung,Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14nani vat ulenge na asono nmyen mongo na meng manighe na aba kuru alanza ukotu nayi tutung ba. Nworu nani, nmyene na meng ma nanighe maso nanya mye figunanag nmyen na mima ghanju udu ulai sa ligan.But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.”

15Uwani une woroghe, “Cikilari, nai nmyen mono bara nwa kuru nlaza ukotu nayi nda tutung nda tiya nmyen.”The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

16Yesu woroghe, “Can udi yicila ulesfe isa kikane ligowe.”Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Uwane kawa aworghe, “Na ndinin les ba,”Yesu kawaghe, “Ubele dert, 'na ndi nin les ba,'“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18bara umal ti ales ataun, a ame ulenge na udi ninghe nene na ulesfere ba! Nanya nle ulire na ubelle kidegenere!”In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Uwane woroghe, “Cikilari, in yinno fe unan liru nin nu Kutelle ari.“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20A Cifbit na suzu usujada likup longone, anung ani din su Urushalimari kiti kanga na ki do tissu usujada ku.”Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21Yisa kawaghe, “Uwani, yinna nin mi, kubi din cinnu kongo na ima su Ucif usujada na likup longone ba sa in Urshalima ba.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22Anughe din su ulenge na iyirughe ba usajada. Arik din su ulenge na tiyirughari usujada, bara utucu nnuzu kiti na Yahudawari.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Vat nani, kubi din cinnu, kuda nene wang, na anan sujada kidegene ma zazinu Ucife nanya Nruhu nin kidegen, bara Ucif di piziru nimus nanit anere isughe usujada.But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.

24Kutelle Uruhuari, inung anit alenge na idin sughe usujada ma sughe nanya Ruhu nin kidegen.”God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Uwane woroghe, “Meng yiru unan tuccu din cinu” (ulenge na idin yicughe Kristi). Asa a da, ama punu nari imone vat.”The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Yesu woroghe, “Menghe, na ndin lire, mere ame”Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27Nkoni kubere nono katwa me kpilla. I yita nkpilu nibinayi mine inyizari adin liru nin wani, vat nani na umong nworoghe inyaghari udin pizure? Sa, “In yaghari nta udin liru ninghe?”Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

28Uwane tunna a suna lidul nmyene, a kpilla ucin du na kipine, a woro nanite,Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29“Dan, ida yene unit ulenge na a belli vat nimon ilenge na nna mosu. Na amere ma yitu Kriste ba, sa amere?”“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Inuzu nanya kipine, ida kitime.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Nanya kube, nono katwa me sughe cikusu, I woro “Unan dursuzu niyerti, leo imonmon.”Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Ana woro nani, “Ndi nin nimonli na nmal lii ilenge na anung yiru mun ba.”But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33Nono katwawe tunna tiru nati mine, “Sa umong da naghe imon nliari?”So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Yesu woro nani, “Imonli nighe innare nsu katwa ilenge na ana tuyi, in malu kanin tutun.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Na idin su, 'Ngisin tipui tinas cas ugirbi nin dak ba?' Meng ndin bellu minu, fyan iyizi iyene anene, amal yini adin ca ngirbi!Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.

36Ame ulenge na adin su ugirbe adin sesu ulada, akuru a pitiro ileo nlai nsa ligang, bara ame ulenge na adin su tibila nin nan girbe na su liburi libo ligowe.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37Nanere ubellu une di kidegen, umong din bilsu, a umong su ugirbi.For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Nto minu idi su ugirbi katwa ka na ina su ba. Amonghari nasu katwawe, anung atimine ani npira nanya katwa mine.”I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”

39Gbardang na Samariyawa nanya kipin kane yina ninghe bara uliru nwane, ame ulenge na awa woro, “A belli vat nimon ilenge na nna malusue.”Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Kube na a Samariyawe wa dak kitime, iwa sughe kucukusu aso nan ghinu, amini wa ti ayiri aba ku.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Among gbardang yina bara uliru me.And many more believed because of His message.

42Inin belle uwane, tiyina na bara ulirufe cas ba, bara arik nlaza nin nati bite, nene ti yinno ulengenere unan tucu inyee.”They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”

43Kimal nayiri abane, awa sun kikane ucin u G alili.After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44Bara ame Yesu litime wa bellin na unan liru nin nu Kutelle di gogon nanya kagbiri me ba.Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Na awa piru u Galili, anan Galile sereghe. Bara iwa yene umone na asu vat in Urshalima kitin buke, inung wang wa do kitin buke.Yet when He arrived, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.

46Tutung amini wa dak u Kan'ana in Galili, ki kanga na awa kpilya nmyen miso nmyen narauwe. Umong Ugo udya ulenge na usaune wadi nin konu nanya in Kafarnahum.So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.

47Na awa lanza Yesu nmal sunnu u Yahudiya a kpila u Galili, ado kiti Yesu a sughe kucukusu a doffinghe ada shin nin saune, na awa cinu uku.When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.

48Yesu tuna aworoghe, “ Anung anit andi na iyene adu azikiki ba, na ima yinnu ba.”Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49Ugo une woroghe, “Cikalari dacari a gono nighe dutu sa uku.”“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Yesu woroghe nenge, “Cang. Usaun fe shino.” Unite yina nin lirue na Yesu nbelleghe, atunna a nyaghe.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51Kube na awadin tole, acinme zuroghe, ibellighe usaune shino.And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52A tunna a tirino nani kube na acizina ushine. I kawaghe. Nleng nin nikoro kuzorari ukone na sughe.So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”

53Uciffe tunna ayinno nin kono kubere Yesu na woroghe, “Usaunfe nshino.” Ame litime nin kilari me vat yinna.Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed.

54Imon izikiki in bari ine na Yesu wasu tun na ana sun u Yahudiya udu u Galili.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
