John 4 (BREBRG)

1An Aotrou, o vezañ gouezet o devoa ar farizianed klevet e rae hag e vadeze muioc'h a ziskibien eget Yann,When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2(koulskoude ne oa ket Jezuz e-unan a vadeze, met e ziskibien)(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3a guitaas Bro-Judea, hag a zistroas e Galilea;He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4met, ret e oa dezhañ tremen dre Samaria.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Erruout a reas eta en ur gêr eus Samaria, anvet Sikar, tost d'an douar en devoa Jakob roet d'e vab Jozef.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Eno e oa puñs Jakob. Jezuz eta, skuizh gant an hent, a azezas e-kichen ar puñs; war-dro ar c'hwec'hvet eur e oa.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Ur wreg samaritan o vezañ deuet evit tennañ dour, Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Ro din da evañ.When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8E ziskibien a oa aet e kêr, evit prenañ boued.(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Ar wreg samaritan a respontas dezhañ: Penaos, te hag a zo yuzev, a c'houlenn da evañ diganin-me, ur Samaritanez? (Rak ar Yuzevien ne zarempredont ket gant ar Samaritaned.)“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.)

10Jezuz a respontas hag a lavaras dezhi: Mar anavezjes donezon Doue, ha piv eo an hini a lavar dit: Ro din da evañ, te a c'houlennje da-unan digantañ, hag eñ a roje dit dour bev.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.”

11Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, te ne'c'h eus netra evit tennañ dour, hag ar puñs a zo don; a-belec'h eta ez pefe an dour bev-se?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Brasoc'h out eget hon tad Jakob en deus roet deomp ar puñs-mañ hag en deus evet e-unan anezhañ, kenkoulz evel e vibien hag e loened?Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Jezuz a respontas dezhi: Piv bennak a ev eus an dour-mañ en devo c'hoazh sec'hed;Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14met an hini a evo eus an dour a roin dezhañ n'en devo biken sec'hed; hag an dour a roin dezhañ a zeuio ennañ ur vammenn-dour a strinko evit ar vuhez peurbadus.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.”

15Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, ro din an dour-se, evit na'm bo ken sec'hed, ha na zeuin ken da dennañ dour amañ.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.”

16Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Kae, galv da bried, ha deus amañ.Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Ar wreg a respontas: Ne'm eus pried ebet. Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Lavaret mat ec'h eus: Ne'm eus pried ebet;“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18rak pemp pried ac'h eus bet; hag an hini a zo ganit bremañ n'eo ket da bried; gwir ac'h eus lavaret e kement-se.In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, gwelout a ran out ur profed.“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20Hon tadoù o deus azeulet war ar menez-mañ, ha c'hwi a lavar penaos al lec'h e pelec'h eo ret azeuliñ eo Jeruzalem.Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Gwreg, kred ac'hanon; an amzer a zeu ma n'azeulor ken an Tad na war ar menez-mañ nag e Jeruzalem.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22C'hwi a azeul ar pezh n'anavezit ket; evidomp-ni, ni a azeul ar pezh a anavezomp, rak ar silividigezh a zeu eus ar Yuzevien.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Met an eur a zeu, ha deuet eo dija, ma'c'h azeulo ar gwir azeulerien an Tad e spered hag e gwirionez, rak an Tad a c'houlenn ar seurt azeulerien-se.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.

24Doue a zo Spered, hag eo ret d'ar re en azeul, e azeuliñ e spered hag e gwirionez.God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Ar wreg a lavaras dezhañ: Gouzout a ran penaos ar Mesiaz, an hini a c'halver Krist, a dle dont; pa vo-eñ deuet, e tisklêrio deomp an holl draoù.The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Me eo, me, an hini a gomz ouzhit.Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27War gement-se, e ziskibien a erruas, hag e oant souezhet dre ma komze gant ur wreg; koulskoude hini anezho ne lavaras dezhañ: Petra a c'houlennez? Pe, perak e komzez ganti?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?”

28Neuze ar wreg a lezas he fod-dour, a yeas e kêr, hag a lavaras d'an dud:Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29Deuit da welout un den en deus lavaret din kement am eus graet; ne vefe ket eñ ar C'hrist?“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Mont a rejont eta eus kêr, hag ez ejont d'e gavout.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Koulskoude, e ziskibien a bede anezhañ, o lavarout: Mestr, debr.Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Met eñ a lavaras dezho: Me am eus da zebriñ ur boued n'anavezit ket.But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33An diskibien a lavare eta an eil d'egile: Unan bennak en defe degaset da zebriñ dezhañ?So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Va boued eo ober bolontez an hini en deus va c'haset, ha peurober e oberenn.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Ne lavarit ket ez eus c'hoazh pevar miz ac'han d'an eost? Setu, me a lavar deoc'h: Savit ho taoulagad, ha sellit ouzh ar maezioù a wenna dija evit an eost.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.

36An hini a ved en deus ur gopr, hag a zastum frouezh evit ar vuhez peurbadus, evit m'en em laouenaio an hini a had ivez gant an hini a ved.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37Rak e kement-mañ eo gwir ar gomz-mañ: Unan all eo an hader, hag unan all eo ar meder.For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Me am eus ho kaset e-lec'h n'hoc'h eus ket labouret; reoù all o deus labouret, ha c'hwi a zo aet war o labour.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.”

39Kalz eus Samaritaned ar gêr-se a gredas ennañ, abalamour da gomz ar wreg; roet he devoa an testeni-mañ: Lavaret en deus din kement am eus graet.Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Ar Samaritaned eta, o vezañ deuet d'e gavout, a bedas anezhañ da chom ganto; hag e chomas daou zevezh eno.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Hag un niver brasoc'h a gredas abalamour d'e gelennadurezh.And many more believed because of His message.

42Hag e lavarent d'ar wreg: N'eo ket abalamour da'z lavar eo e kredomp, rak klevet hon eus anezhañ hon-unan, hag ec'h anavezomp penaos hemañ eo e gwirionez Salver ar bed, ar C'hrist.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.”

43Daou zevezh goude, ez eas kuit ac'hano, evit mont e Galilea,After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44rak Jezuz e-unan en devoa disklêriet penaos ur profed n'eo ket enoret en e vro.Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Pa oa erru e Galilea, e voe degemeret mat gant ar C'halileiz o devoa gwelet kement en devoa graet e Jeruzalem deiz ar gouel; rak int ivez a oa aet d'ar gouel.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.

46Jezuz a zeuas eta a-nevez da Gana e Galilea, e-lec'h m'en devoa graet gwin gant dour. Ha, bez' e oa e Kafarnaoum un Aotrou a di ar roue a oa klañv e vab.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.

47An den-mañ, o vezañ anavezet penaos Jezuz a oa deuet eus Judea da C'halilea, a yeas d'e gavout hag a bedas anezhañ da ziskenn evit yac'haat e vab, rak mont a rae da vervel.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.

48Jezuz a lavaras: Ma ne welit ket a sinoù hag a virakloù, ne gredit ket.Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49An Aotrou-mañ a di ar roue a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, diskenn, a-raok ma varvo va bugel.“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Jezuz a lavaras dezhañ: Kae, da vab a vev. An den-mañ a gredas ar pezh en devoa Jezuz lavaret dezhañ, hag a yeas kuit.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51Evel ma tiskenne, e vevelien a zeuas a-raok dezhañ, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Da vab a vev.And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52Eñ a c'houlennas outo da bet eur e oa en em gavet gwelloc'h. Hag int a lavaras dezhañ: Dec'h d'ar seizhvet eur, an derzhienn a guitaas anezhañ.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.”

53Hag an tad a anavezas e oa d'an eur-se en devoa Jezuz lavaret dezhañ: Da vab a vev; hag e kredas, eñ hag holl dud e di.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.

54Jezuz a reas an eil mirakl-se en e zistro eus Judea da C'halilea.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
