Ɛwala ɛpezyɛ, ɛwala di náá, bot aanàbaakɛduwal Zɛɛb Sɛɛg pɛ kɔ ɛtsok ɛ ɛlak nɛghu pɛ Yeluzalɛm.BSBBSB: “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

24. 26BKWTin, Yezu eezɛke nɛ nɛ náá: «Mam, mot di elii nɛ nɔ'aak, ye ɛ́ mam ɛ di Mɛsia.»BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

Tin, mot ngɔt pak'ɔɔ nabɛ ààdji náá: «Wɔ saa ye?» Nɛghu: «Kɔ ɛsu ɛ ye wɔ di é lii bi nɛ moma yak?»BSBBSB: 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?”
26. 28BKWBhii tak, moma tak zɛlik bhe ɛdaa mɛdii mɛ, nyɛ eezɛnɔɔ nyel'ɛ sik pɛ ghaada. Nyɛ moo tin é ke nɛ bot náá:BSBBSB: Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

28. 30BKWBot ɛ ghaada tak eezɛghɛɛ, tɔ́ kɛbee Yezu pɛ nyɛ nadi ɛ́.BSBBSB: So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
29. 31BKWÉ di'enek, bɛdjekel bɛ eezɛbesal nyɛ náá, nyɛ dɛ edee. Bɔɔ náá: «Labhi, dɛa edee!»BSBBSB: Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
30. 32BKWTin, nyɛ eezɛke nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Mɛ ɛpedɛ mbi edee ee di náá, bi ààgu ɛ.»BSBBSB: But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
31. 33BKWTin, bɛdjekel moo tin é djinel pak'ɔɔ náá: «Dhiiti mot bɛ ɛ́ nyɛ eezyɛ nyɛ nɛ edee bhis koŋ'ena?»BSBBSB: So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.
34. 36BKWMot di sa mɛsa mɛ ɛdis edee tɔ pyeeb ɔ, nɛ bela yɛ etuud djala nɛ mɛsa mɛ nyɛ sa ɛ. Nyɛ ɛpesɛɛg mɛbhek. Mɛbhek mɛ tak ɛ, bot djas aabela tsik na kɔm-kɔm ɔ.

35. 37BKWÉ di'enek, kana di ke náá: “Dhiiti mot ɛpebɛ bhek; nwyak tak ɛzɛ bɔ́k bhum tak ɛ.” Ye ɛ́ tsɛɛtsɛ.BSBBSB: For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
36. 38BKWEtɛɛ náá, mɛ eelwom bin, bi tɔ́ kɛ ɛdis mɛbhek, tɔ e di di náá, bi nabɛ ààbɛ mɛbhek mɛ tak ɛ. Bɛdhiiti bot ɛ nazesa mɛsa.

Eghɛŋ nyɛ nadi eke náá: «Dha beeka dhiiti motom eelɛɛ mɛ etɛp ee mɛ di sa djas ɛ.»BSBBSB: Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
38. 40BKWBhii tak, dáa bot ɛ Samali nazɛbela Yezu tin ɛ, bɛ eezɛke nɛ nɛ náá: «Nàkabaadhaa. Zoka di wak.» Tin, Nyɛ eezɛdja mɛlu mɛmbá bɛ nɛ bɛ nɔɔ.BSBBSB: So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
39. 41BKWTin, bɛtɛ nɛ bot naazɛdum koŋ nɛ Zɛɛb ɛbuɛpe, kɔ ɛsu ɛ mɛkpa mɛ.BSBBSB: And many more believed because of His message.

They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.
44. 46BKWBhii tak Nyɛ eezɛsik pɛ ghaada Kana pɛ kyee dik Ghalile. Kana ɛ ghaada nyɛ naliig mɛdii moo mɛnyok ɛ. Pɛ ghaada Kapɛlnaum, ye nabɛ ɛ́ nɛ dhiiti boo kukuma esodja ɛ mɛkoozi.

46. 48BKWYezu eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɛ náá: «Bi ɛ di ààbee endem e mɛbwala nɛ mɛvyɛkɛlɛ ɔ, bi aanàkwaadum koŋ nɛ nam.»BSBBSB: Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
47. 49BKWKukuma tak eezɛke nɛ Yezu náá: «Ghɛŋ, lela ɛzyɛ pɛ daa lam étɛp mɔn'am ɛzɛkɛgwyɛ.»BSBBSB: “Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
