John 4 (GHN) · Opened

1Ego qari nongoroni ria na Parese za i Jisu za teku vazoku sepele beto ko za paputaisoria zoku tinoni joladi ria za paputaisoria i Jone qari gua.When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2(Ba i Jisu makana zake varipaputaiso za, goto ria tu na nana sepele za qari vei.)(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3Ko totonai za nongoria i Jisu zara qari paranga vei ria na tinoni, nari za taloi pa Jiudia ko za mule gorenana pa Qalili aza.He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4Ko pa nana rerege mule pa Qalili za rovea za mina jola vei tugu pa korapa ia pa Sameria aza za gua.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Ko pa Sameria za kamu pa maka guguzu lavata na izongona pa Suka, nake zouna pa kobu pezo ti Jekopi za vani i Josepa na tuna.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Ego na kolena tugu ketakoi za na oqili pie takorina ti Jekopi, ko za pavu taleni na kole rerege i Jisu ko za nyumu nana tugu pa keketai oqili pie aza. Ko na korapa rane za totonai.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Maka reko pa Sameria za lame ko mi vutugu pie za gua, nari za paranga lao pana tana i Jisu, <<Bu vaniziu iapeki buku qa gua,>> za gua.When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8(Totonai za qari tori taloi keni tu pa guguzu ria nana sepele ko mari keni vaiganigani qari gua.)(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Nari za paranga za na reko Sameria, <<Ao ko na Jiu tu, goto ara na tinoni Sameria tu, ba ae za vei qu korapa tu tepaniziu na pie ara?>> za gua. (Ura pa dia tuti za qarike makarai tekuteku pa maka peleta ganigani babi qarike makarai buku pa maka vutuvutuguni pie ria na Jiu beto na Sameria.)“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.)

10Nari za oea i Jisu aza, ari za guni vei, <<Vei bu gilagilai ao aza na varivana tana Tamaza beto ko i zei aza za korapa tepanigo na pie, za bu tori tepani buku tu beto ko aza bi tori vanigo tu na pie varivatoana ao,>> za guni.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.”

11Nari za paranga za na reko, <<Kepore na mua titinuna ao beto ko na dori kori gorena za na oqili pie ani. Ko pae muna tekuni ao za na pie varivatoana?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Ao quke lavata jolani i Jekopi na tamamami gami, za akae? I Jekopi tu za vadigami na oqili pie ani, ko aza makana beto ria na tuna, na nana papauzu za qari buku beto tugu pa pie zana,>> za guni.Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Nari za oea i Jisu aza, ari za guni vei, <<Aza za bukua na pie za kole pa oqili pie ani za pala mina kidepe soga gu aza,Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14goto aza mina bukua na pie mana vani ara za minake izongo kidepe soga. Ba na pie mana vani ara za mina bukabukala vuvugu za pa bulona, ko mina vani na pie za kolea na toa ko mina vani na toa kole jolana,>> za gua i Jisu.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.”

15Nari za paranga za na reko, <<Bangara! Vei mu vaniziu tu ropi za na pie aza, ko make kidepe soga, beto make papavu lamelame vutugu soga pie pani,>> za gua za na reko.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.”

16Nari ari za guni vei i Jisu aza, <<Mu lao, ko mu kukua na marenemu ko mu toka lameni pani,>> za guni.Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Nari za paranga za na reko, <<Koi, ara kepore marenequ!>> za gua. Nari ari za guni vei i Jisu aza, <<Qu zotomua tugu ao tonai kepore marenequ qu gua.“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18Ura ari ka lima marene mae tu za qu tori nagoria tu ao, ko aza qu korapa nagoa ao koviria za nake marenemu zozoto ao aza. Ko na zozotona gu za qu pojai ao,>> za gua i Jisu.In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Nari za paranga za na reko, <<Bangara, koviria tu qa gilagilai ara za maka tinoni korokorotai ao!“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20Ura ria na mami tite pa moa gami za pa kubo tugu ani za qari vatarazaea na Tamaza, ba gamu na tinoni Jiu za gamu paranga za pa Jerusalema tu za na ia tana vatarazaea gita na Tamaza gamu gua,>> za gua za na reko.Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21Nari za parangia i Jisu aza, <<Siu, mu vazozotoa ani! Za korapa lame za na totozo totonai nake pa kubo ani babi pa Jerusalema za muna vatarazaeni gamu za na Tamada.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22Gamu na tinoni Sameria za gamuke gilagila valeania aza gamu vatarazaea; goto gami na tinoni Jiu za gami gilagila valeaniamami aza gami vatarazaea, ura na inaalo za votu lame vei tadigami tu na tinoni Jiu.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Ba za korapa lame za na totozo ko koviria za tori kamua tu za na totozo aza, tonai ria na tinoni vatarazae zozoto za mari vatarazaea pa ongongu beto pa zozoto za na Tamana. Aza za na vinatarazae zozoto za nyoroguani na tamana.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.

24Na Tamaza za na Ongongu ko ria mari vatarazaea aza za mari vatarazaea pa Ongongu beto pa zozoto tu,>> za gua.God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Nari za paranga za na reko, <<Qa gilagilaiqua ara za pala mina lame za na Mesaea (aza za tagigala na Karisito), ko mina kamu tu aza za mina ule vadigita za doru zakazava,>> za gua.The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Nari za oe laoa i Jisu aza, <<Ara tugu aza, ara qa korapa parangaigo koviria ani,>> za guni.Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27Pana totozo tugu aza za qari mule kamu ria na nana sepele ko qari gabarani za qari mule batia za korapa paraparangia maka reko aza. Ba kepore maka ria za bi paranga, babi nanaza lao veini ari, <<Koi, na za qu nyoroguani?>> bi guni na reko aza, babi, <<Ae za vei ko qu vavakato tavitia tu na reko zana ao?>> qarike guni tugu i Jisu.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?”

28Beto za loi vakole pale na reko za na nana bogu pie, ko za mule lao tu pa guguzu, ko za parangaria ria na tinoni,Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29<<Mae, lame! Mu dogoria maka tinoni za pojaniziu doru qua toa qa roitidi ara. Nake ani tugu beka za na Karisito?>> za gua.“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Ko qari taloi pa guguzu ketakoi ria na tinoni ko qari votu lao ti Jisu.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Totonai qari oqoro bola lame ria na tinoni rari za qari kole garugarunia ria na sepele i Jisu, <<Rabi, mu tekuteku mae tu,>> qari guni.Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Ba ari za gudi vei i Jisu ria, <<Ara za kolenana na qua tekutekuna aza gamuke gilagilai na veveina gamu,>> za gua.But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33Nari qari podalai varivarinanaza makadi ria na sepele, <<Kaki tinoni beka qari tori pogozo kamu vani tu na tekutekuna aza?>> qari gua.So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Nari za parangaria i Jisu ria, <<Na qua tekutekuna za ara ma vatabea gu na nyorogua tana aza za garunuziu beto ko ma vaokotia za na roiti tana.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Ari gamu paranga vei za gamu, <Ka made popu gu za za kole beto mina kamu na totozo ababu,> gamu gua za gamu. Ba vainongoro ko ma pojadigamu ara: mu vaengaria na matamiu ko mu dogororia ria na inuma! Qari tori matua tu ko qari tori pada taabu tu ria na umuma!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.

36Na tinoni za ababu za tatabara beto za pogozo varikamudi ria na vuvua ko mari tekua na toa jola, ko na tinoni za umuma beto aza za ababu za mari makarai qera beto.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37Za zozoto gu za na paranga ari za gua vei, <Maka tinoni za umuma beto maka goto tinoni tu za ababu,> za gua.For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Ara qa garunugamu za gamu ko gamu keni abua aza gamuke pavu taleni. Ria kaki tu qari pavu taleni za na roiti, goto gamu za gamu abua na vuana gu na pavu tadiria na goto tinoni,>> za gua i Jisu.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.”

39Ego ko kubo ria na tinoni Sameria pa guguzu aza za qari vazozotoa i Jisu, tonai qari nongoria na ulule tana reko aza, ari za gua vei, <<Za poja betoniziu ria doru roiti qa roitidi ara,>> za gua.Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Ko tonai qari lao kamua aza ria na tinoni Sameria, za qari tepa vitivitigi lao tana ko bi suvere iapeki mae tadiria qari gua. Nari za suvere ketakoi kori rane aza.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Ego ko na kubo jola mule ria na tinoni qari vazozoto tonai qari nongoria na paranga ti Jisu.And many more believed because of His message.

42Ko qari parangia za na reko, <<Koviria za nake parangamu gu ao za gami vazozotoa, goto koviria gami vazozoto ura gami batia beto gami nongoria makamami za aza tugu zozoto za na inaalo pa kasia guguzu,>> qari gua.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.”

43Ego za jola kori rane beto za taloi ketakoi i Jisu, ko za mule gore pa Qalili.After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44(I Jisu makana za tori ululeni tu za na tinoni korokorotai za pa nana guguzu ketakoi za lavata zae gu za zake tatavaragua za gudi.)Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Ko tonai za kamu pa Qalili aza za qari vatoga valeania ria na tinoni ketakoi aza, ura qari tori somanani tu ria za na vavolo Alokata pa Jerusalema ko qari tori batiadia tu ria ria na zakazava za roitidi aza pa totozo vavolo aza.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.

46Ego za gabala mule lame pa Kena pa Qalili i Jisu, ketakoi za pelukuni vaini na kolo perangaina. Ko na suverena tugu ketakoi za maka tinoni matamata qavuna, za mo na tuna marene pa Kepaniami.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.

47Ko za nongoroni na tinoni matamata aza i Jisu za tori taloi tu pa Jiudia ko za gore vei tu pa Qalili qari gua, nari za lao gozoria ko za tepaia ko bi lao salania za na tuna marene pa Kepaniami, ura za tata zozoto mina uke aza za gua.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.

48Nari ari za guni vei i Jisu aza, <<Gamu za gamu nyorogua izongo batiria mae tu na roiti vinagilagila beto na roiti varivagabaradi beto za bu vazozoto gamu gua,>> za gua.Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49Nari za paranga za na tinoni matamata aza, <<Bangara, mu siqarai tuti lame pinokoi za oqoro uke na tuqu,>> za gua.“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Nari za parangia i Jisu aza, <<Mu mule lao, na tumu marene za pala mina toanana gu!>> za guni. Nari za vazozotoa tugu na tinoni matamata ani za na paranga ti Jisu ko za mule keni nana.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51Ko tonai za korapa goregorenana aza za qari gozoria pa zona ria na nana nabulu, ko qari pojani, <<Za tori leana tu za na tumu marene,>> qari guni.And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52Nari za nanazaria ria padapada ae totozo za vei za podalai leana aza za gudi, nari ari qari guni vei, <<Pada maka koloko korapa rane pa nyoro za gore na mangini,>> qari guni.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.”

53Nari za gilagila kamua na tinoni matamata ani za aza tugu za na totozo za poja veini ari i Jisu, <<Na tumu marene za pala mina toanana gu,>> za guni. Ko aza beto ria na nana tatamana doruna za qari vazozotoa i Jisu.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.

54Ani za na roiti vinagilagila vinaori za roitini i Jisu pa liguna za taloi pa Jiudia ko za gore pa Qalili.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
