John 4 (AVD) · Opened

1فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ سَمِعُوا أَنَّ يَسُوعَ يُصَيِّرُ وَيُعَمِّدُ تَلَامِيذَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا،When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2مَعَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ نَفْسَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُعَمِّدُ بَلْ تَلَامِيذُهُ،(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3تَرَكَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَمَضَى أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ.He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4وَكَانَ لَا بُدَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5فَأَتَى إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ يُقَالُ لَهَا سُوخَارُ، بِقُرْبِ ٱلضَّيْعَةِ ٱلَّتِي وَهَبَهَا يَعْقُوبُ لِيُوسُفَ ٱبْنِهِ.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ بِئْرُ يَعْقُوبَ. فَإِذْ كَانَ يَسُوعُ قَدْ تَعِبَ مِنَ ٱلسَّفَرِ، جَلَسَ هَكَذَا عَلَى ٱلْبِئْرِ، وَكَانَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7فَجَاءَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ لِتَسْتَقِيَ مَاءً، فَقَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «أَعْطِينِي لِأَشْرَبَ».When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8لِأَنَّ تَلَامِيذَهُ كَانُوا قَدْ مَضَوْا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِيَبْتَاعُوا طَعَامًا.(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلسَّامِرِيَّةُ: «كَيْفَ تَطْلُبُ مِنِّي لِتَشْرَبَ، وَأَنْتَ يَهُودِيٌّ وَأَنَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ سَامِرِيَّةٌ؟». لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ لَا يُعَامِلُونَ ٱلسَّامِرِيِّينَ.“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.)

10أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهاَ: «لَوْ كُنْتِ تَعْلَمِينَ عَطِيَّةَ ٱللهِ، وَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ لَكِ أَعْطِينِي لِأَشْرَبَ، لَطَلَبْتِ أَنْتِ مِنْهُ فَأَعْطَاكِ مَاءً حَيًّا».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.”

11قَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَا دَلْوَ لَكَ وَٱلْبِئْرُ عَمِيقَةٌ. فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لَكَ ٱلْمَاءُ ٱلْحَيُّ؟“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12أَلَعَلَّكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَبِينَا يَعْقُوبَ، ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانَا ٱلْبِئْرَ، وَشَرِبَ مِنْهَا هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ وَمَوَاشِيهِ؟».Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهاَ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَاءِ يَعْطَشُ أَيْضًا.Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14وَلَكِنْ مَنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ ٱلَّذِي أُعْطِيهِ أَنَا فَلَنْ يَعْطَشَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، بَلِ ٱلْمَاءُ ٱلَّذِي أُعْطِيهِ يَصِيرُ فِيهِ يَنْبُوعَ مَاءٍ يَنْبَعُ إِلَى حَيَاةٍ أَبَدِيَّةٍ».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.”

15قَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَعْطِنِي هَذَا ٱلْمَاءَ، لِكَيْ لَا أَعْطَشَ وَلَا آتِيَ إِلَى هُنَا لِأَسْتَقِيَ».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.”

16قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «ٱذْهَبِي وَٱدْعِي زَوْجَكِ وَتَعَالَيْ إِلَى هَهُنَا».Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17أَجَابَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَقَالتْ: «لَيْسَ لِي زَوْجٌ». قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «حَسَنًا قُلْتِ: لَيْسَ لِي زَوْجٌ،“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَكِ خَمْسَةُ أَزْوَاجٍ، وَٱلَّذِي لَكِ ٱلْآنَ لَيْسَ هُوَ زَوْجَكِ. هَذَا قُلْتِ بِٱلصِّدْقِ».In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19قَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَرَى أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ!“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20آبَاؤُنَا سَجَدُوا فِي هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ ٱلَّذِي يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُسْجَدَ فِيهِ».Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «يَا ٱمْرَأَةُ، صَدِّقِينِي أَنَّهُ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ، لَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَلَا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تَسْجُدُونَ لِلْآبِ.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22أَنْتُمْ تَسْجُدُونَ لِمَا لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا نَعْلَمُ. لِأَنَّ ٱلْخَلَاصَ هُوَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23وَلَكِنْ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ، وَهِيَ ٱلْآنَ، حِينَ ٱلسَّاجِدُونَ ٱلْحَقِيقِيُّونَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِلْآبِ بِٱلرُّوحِ وَٱلْحَقِّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْآبَ طَالِبٌ مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلسَّاجِدِينَ لَهُ.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.

24ٱللهُ رُوحٌ. وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْجُدُونَ لَهُ فَبِالرُّوحِ وَٱلْحَقِّ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَسْجُدُوا».God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25قَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَسِيَّا، ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ، يَأْتِي. فَمَتَى جَاءَ ذَاكَ يُخْبِرُنَا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ».The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا ٱلَّذِي أُكَلِّمُكِ هُوَ».Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27وَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ جَاءَ تَلَامِيذُهُ، وَكَانُوا يَتَعَجَّبُونَ أَنَّهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ. وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَقُلْ أَحَدٌ: «مَاذَا تَطْلُبُ؟» أَوْ «لِمَاذَا تَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهَا؟».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?”

28فَتَرَكَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ جَرَّتَهَا وَمَضَتْ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَتْ لِلنَّاسِ:Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29«هَلُمُّوا ٱنْظُرُوا إِنْسَانًا قَالَ لِي كُلَّ مَا فَعَلْتُ. أَلَعَلَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟».“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30فَخَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَأَتَوْا إِلَيْهِ.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ ذَلِكَ سَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، كُلْ».Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنَا لِي طَعَامٌ لِآكُلَ لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ أَنْتُمْ».But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33فَقَالَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «أَلَعَلَّ أَحَدًا أَتَاهُ بِشَيْءٍ لِيَأْكُلَ؟»So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «طَعَامِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَةَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي وَأُتَمِّمَ عَمَلَهُ.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35أَمَا تَقُولُونَ: إِنَّهُ يَكُونُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي ٱلْحَصَادُ؟ هَا أَنَا أَقُولُ لَكُمُ: ٱرْفَعُوا أَعْيُنَكُمْ وَٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْحُقُولَ إِنَّهَا قَدِ ٱبْيَضَّتْ لِلْحَصَادِ.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.

36وَٱلْحَاصِدُ يَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً وَيَجْمَعُ ثَمَرًا لِلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، لِكَيْ يَفْرَحَ ٱلزَّارِعُ وَٱلْحَاصِدُ مَعًا.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37لِأَنَّهُ فِي هَذَا يَصْدُقُ ٱلْقَوْلُ: إِنَّ وَاحِدًا يَزْرَعُ وَآخَرَ يَحْصُدُ.For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38أَنَا أَرْسَلْتُكُمْ لِتَحْصُدُوا مَا لَمْ تَتْعَبُوا فِيهِ. آخَرُونَ تَعِبُوا وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ دَخَلْتُمْ عَلَى تَعَبِهِمْ».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.”

39فَآمَنَ بِهِ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرِيِّينَ بِسَبَبِ كَلَامِ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ تَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ: «قَالَ لِي كُلَّ مَا فَعَلْتُ».Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلسَّامِرِيُّونَ سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ عِنْدَهُمْ، فَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ يَوْمَيْنِ.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41فَآمَنَ بِهِ أَكْثَرُ جِدًّا بِسَبَبِ كَلَامِهِ.And many more believed because of His message.

42وَقَالُوا لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «إِنَّنَا لَسْنَا بَعْدُ بِسَبَبِ كَلَامِكِ نُؤْمِنُ، لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا وَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ مُخَلِّصُ ٱلْعَالَمِ».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.”

43وَبَعْدَ ٱلْيَوْمَيْنِ خَرَجَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَمَضَى إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ،After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44لِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ نَفْسَهُ شَهِدَ أَنْ: «لَيْسَ لِنَبِيٍّ كَرَامَةٌ فِي وَطَنِهِ».Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ قَبِلَهُ ٱلْجَلِيلِيُّونَ، إِذْ كَانُوا قَدْ عَايَنُوا كُلَّ مَا فَعَلَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ أَيْضًا جَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْعِيدِ.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.

46فَجَاءَ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا إِلَى قَانَا ٱلْجَلِيلِ، حَيْثُ صَنَعَ ٱلْمَاءَ خَمْرًا. وَكَانَ خَادِمٌ لِلْمَلِكِ ٱبْنُهُ مَرِيضٌ فِي كَفْرِنَاحُومَ.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.

47هَذَا إِذْ سَمِعَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ قَدْ جَاءَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ، ٱنْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِ وَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ وَيَشْفِيَ ٱبْنَهُ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُشْرِفًا عَلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ.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.

48فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَا تُؤْمِنُونَ إِنْ لَمْ تَرَوْا آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ».Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49قَالَ لَهُ خَادِمُ ٱلْمَلِكِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، ٱنْزِلْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ ٱبْنِي».“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ٱذْهَبْ. اِبْنُكَ حَيٌّ». فَآمَنَ ٱلرَّجُلُ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ ٱلَّتِي قَالَهَا لَهُ يَسُوعُ، وَذَهَبَ.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51وَفِيمَا هُوَ نَازِلٌ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ عَبِيدُهُ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ ٱبْنَكَ حَيٌّ».And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52فَٱسْتَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أَخَذَ يَتَعَافَى، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَمْسِ فِي ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ تَرَكَتْهُ ٱلْحُمَّى».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.”

53فَفَهِمَ ٱلْأَبُ أَنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلَّتِي قَالَ لَهُ فِيهَا يَسُوعُ: «إِنَّ ٱبْنَكَ حَيٌّ». فَآمَنَ هُوَ وَبَيْتُهُ كُلُّهُ.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.

54هَذِهِ أَيْضًا آيَةٌ ثَانِيَةٌ صَنَعَهَا يَسُوعُ لَمَّا جَاءَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
