John 4 (BSJ) · Opened

1kambo Yeecu nyumom tancawa nnwam co fiye ten bi bei tomange ti, co yii' cinen mwem kwama ti lan wo Yuwana ceu,When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2(bwen no na kebo Yeecu ki bwici yu cinen mwembo tiyeu, bi bei tomangece.)(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3con dubom Yahudiya con yilaken GaliliHe left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4la tam co tiyangi camariya.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5la con bou cinen lor camariyaro kange wo coti, cika, bidom kange fiye Yakubu ne bi bwe ce Yucufu.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6bwir Yakubu ro ki no wi. kanbo luwam Yeecu ki yamcem be ri la con yii ken kong bwirie. dong dong kamg keneko nukkun.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7nawiye camanya kange bou a tuwa mwem, la Yeecu yii, neye mwembo nan nomwi,When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8nyeu bibei tomange ceu doken mor cinan lor a teyer cari.(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9la nawiye camiriya yii co la a manyi mo mon bayafude mwa me yeti mo min nawiye camariya mwem no kam tiye? Yafudawa mani yabkan na kange camariyawa.“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.)

10Yeecu kar cen cinen na mon nyumom luma kwama ri, kange co nii wo yii nenti ne ye mwem nokameri, namotin ken co yii nentin ne nen mwembo ki dumeu.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.”

11nawiye yii co, nii merangka, mo manki tabwir, bwiro cuwa kabo, la mwa fiya mwembo ki dume fe?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12be mwa la bo tenge Yakubu, mon la ca, co woca ne nyo bwireu, co ki bwici con no more ce. bibeyo lo ce no wi, kange bicir cero?Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Yeecu yii co kange nii wo na no mwembo weri an nuwa dilo mwe takJesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14la nii mane co tiyeri, mani a nuwa dilomwe ti tak. yila nyen, mwembo ma ne co tiyeu an yilam kwen mwenger cinen ti bui yaken ciko dume diinyeu.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.”

15nawiyeu yii nii merangka neye mwembo wo nari nuware dilomwe tak. nan boure tuwaka mwengek fo.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.”

16Yeecu yii co, ya cou bwemwe. na kom bou fo.Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17nawiye yii co, mi man ki bwayile. Yeecu yii co mo tok dong-dong, mi man ki bwayile,“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18wori mon nam nabarob lam nung wo mo ciko na weu ke bo bweme. dike “mwa tokeu bilenker.In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19nawiye yii co, “nii merangka, ma to timon nii dukume.“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20tebnye bo wab fo bang ko wo, la mweu moki wurcalima co fiye daten nubo yam wabka ti wiye.Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21nawiye, ne bilenker kwamaco bouti wo mwa wab “Teeti fo dor bangero wo, bwenno wurcalima di.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22kom ki wab dii ke ka nyombeu. nyeu nyo ki wab dii nya nyumom me wori fulokaka yau Yafudawa nin.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23na co nyeu, kwama co wi bouti, na weu wo fo nob wabkako kendo an wab “tee mor yuwa tangbekcek kange bilenker. na teeu ki do co nubo buro na yilam nob wabbeceb.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.

24kwama yuwa tangbek la nubo buro wabco tiyeu, tam wab co ki yuwa tangbek,God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25nawiyeu yii co “man nyumom kiwo maciya bouti (wori cu wo ti kiritti yeu) na co bou, can fuitang binen dikero gwam.The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Yeecu yii co, “mo co, ceu yinen ker ti yeu.”Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27la na ceu bibei tomange ceu yilam. la ci nyumangi ye bwi co tok kan kerti kange nawiyeu, la kange ciye tok bo, “ye mo cuitiye? “kaka ye bwi mo tok kerti kange ce?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?”

28la nawiyeu dubom tabwir mangero, yilam ken mor cinan lor, la yii nubo.Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29bou kom to nii wo yii ye dike wo ma gwameu. wuro yilanin kiritti an yila ka?”“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30cin dubom cinan loro cin bou cinen.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31na ceu bi bei tomange ceu yii co ti nii merangka cam carito.Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32la con yii ci min wi ki carito ma catiyeu wo ka nyom beu.But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33la bi bei tomange ceu ti tokkangi bwitici, kange nii bou cinen bo diker cakar for, lan wi ka?So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Yeecu yii ci, canmiti co wo nan ma dike nii wo tomu ye maneu, la nan takum nangen cero.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35ka tok bokum cuiyak na'ar la nanimde cuiyak ko bou ka? ma yii kom ti, kung nuwa ko to tanginiu, kweri bimye na cua kaba bi tokko ce.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.

36nii wo biye butuwe tiyeu, yo nan nanger ceroti, la mur bi tutiyo wo ya ken dumen dii riye. wori niwo fiyeu, ci bi langi wari.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37fo wori min, tokkako, wineu fi, la kange biyemeu bilenker.For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38man tuom kom ko ya biyeka. fiye koma bou nangen wiyeu. kangem bou mam nangendo kumeu kon do ti dotange ciyerin.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.”

39camariyawa ducce cinan loroco ne bilenker kange co ki ker nawiye wo ne warke dor ce reu. “con yii ye dike ma maneu gwam.”Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40la kambo camariyawa bou cinenu, cin ken co na yii kange, con ciya com dam kange ci kume yob.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41nubo duccu tok ne com dam kange ci kume yobAnd many more believed because of His message.

42cin yii nawiyeu, mani nya ne bilenker ti ka kero woma toku, wori nyo ki bwinyi nyon nuwam, la nyumom nii wo co nii fuloka dor bitiner.”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.”

43bwiko kume yobeko, la con kobum we con yaken GaliliAfter two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44Yeecu ki bwici toki, nii dukume mani fiya dur bitinece.Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45kambo co bou Galiliri, nubo Galili yo co. cin tom dikero co manangi wurcalima, ki duklume, wori cin ya'a duklumeu keu.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.

46la yila con bou ten kana mor Galili, fiye yila mwem yilam mwem inabimmeu. kange nii wi wo ma nangen lo liyaru bibwece mor kafarnam nuwa bo luma.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.

47kambo co nuwa Yeecu dubom Yufudiya yaken Galili di, co ya'a Yeecu nin la co me co no bou na twam bibwece, woro dadom bwiyakau.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.

48Yeecu lam yii co na ka to bo yirom kange diker nyumankardi, ma ka ne bilenkerti.Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49nii nangen ne wo yii co “nii merangka, yirau nanimre bibwe mi bwiyam“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Yeecu yii co “ya bibwe mwen bum.” nii co ne bilenke kange kero Yeecu. Yeecu yii ceu, la con cu.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51kambo co yiraken tiyeri, canga ceu wabkang co yii co bibwe bum ki dume,And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52co ca me ciye kang keneko nibereu, kwirum bwiu dubom co.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.”

53co teeu la nyumom kin co kang keneko co Yeecu yii co, “bibwemwe bum” la co ki bwici kange loceu gwam cinne bilenker.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.

54wuron co diker nyuman karo Yeecu manau kambo co ceru Yafudiya co yaken Galili.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
