John 4 (HAT) · Opened

1Farizyen yo tande Jezi t'ap fè plis patizan pase Jan, li t'ap batize plis moun pase l' tou.When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2(Men, pou di vre, Jezi pa t' janm batize pesonn. Se disip li yo ki t'ap batize.)(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3Lè Jezi vin konn sa, li kite peyi Jide, li tounen nan peyi Galile.He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4Sou wout la, fòk li te pase nan mitan peyi Samari.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Li rive nan yon bouk Samari yo rele Sika, toupre moso tè Jakòb te bay Jozèf, pitit gason l' lan.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Se la pi Jakòb la te ye. Jezi menm te bouke, vwayaj la te fatige l' anpil. Li chita sou rebò pi a. Li te bò midi konsa.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Yon fanm peyi Samari vin pou tire dlo. Jezi di l' konsa: Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè.When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8(Disip li yo te ale lavil la achte manje.)(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Fanm Samari a di Jezi konsa: Kouman? Se pa jwif ou ye? Ki jan ou fè mande m' dlo pou ou bwè, mwen menm ki moun Samari? (Paske, jwif yo pa t' gen rapò ak moun Samari.)“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.)

10Jezi reponn li: Si ou te konnen sa Bondye bay la, si ou te konnen ki moun k'ap mande ou ti gout dlo pou bwè a, se ou menm ki ta mande l' ba ou ti gout dlo bwè. Lè sa a, li ta ka ba ou nan dlo ki bay lavi a.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.”

11Fanm lan di li: Msye, ou pa gen veso pou tire dlo. Epitou, pi a fon anpil. Ki bò pou ou ta jwenn dlo ki bay lavi sa a?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Se Jakòb, zansèt nou, ki te ban nou pi sa a. Li te bwè ladan li. Tout pitit li yo ansanm ak tout bèt li yo, se la yo te bwè tou. Koulye a, ou prèt pou di m' ou pi gran pase Jakòb?Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Jezi reponn li: Tout moun ki bwè dlo sa a gen pou l' swaf dlo ankò.Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14Men, moun ki va bwè nan dlo m'ap ba li a, li p'ap janm swaf dlo ankò. Paske, dlo m'ap ba li a ap tounen yon sous dlo nan li k'ap ba li lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.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.”

15Fanm lan di l': Tanpri, msye, ban m' ti gout nan dlo sa a non pou m' bwè, konsa mwen p'ap janm anvi bwè dlo ankò, mwen p'ap bezwen tounen isit la vin tire dlo.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.”

16Jezi di l' konsa: Ale rele mari ou. Apre sa, tounen vin jwenn mwen isit la.Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Fanmi lan reponn: Mwen pa gen mari. Jezi di l' konsa: Ou gen rezon di ou pa gen mari.“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18Paske, ou pase senk mari deja. Epi nonm k'ap viv avè ou koulye a, se pa mari ou li ye. Ou pa ban m' manti.In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Lè sa a, fanm lan di l': Gen lè ou se yon pwofèt, msye?“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20Zansèt nou yo nan peyi Samari te sèvi Bondye sou mòn sa a. Men nou menm jwif, nou di: Sèl kote pou moun sèvi Bondye, se lavil Jerizalèm.Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21Jezi reponn li: Madanm, ou mèt kwè mwen. Lè a pral rive, se pa ni sou mòn sa a, ni lavil Jerizalèm pou n' sèvi Papa a.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22Nou menm, moun Samari, nou pa konnen sa n'ap sèvi a. Nou menm jwif, nou konnen sa n'ap sèvi a, paske moun k'ap vin pou sove a, se nan mitan jwif yo l'ap soti.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Men, lè a ap rive, li rive deja: tout moun k'ap sèvi tout bon yo pral sèvi Papa a nan kè yo jan sa dwe fèt. Se moun konsa Bondye vle pou sèvi li.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.

24Bondye, se Lespri li ye. Tout moun k'ap sèvi l', se pou yo sèvi l' nan lespri yo jan sa dwe fèt la.God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Fanm lan di li: Mwen konnen Mesi a, moun yo rele Kris la, gen pou l' vini tou. Lè la vini, la esplike nou tout bagay sa yo.The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Jezi reponn li: Mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou la a, mwen se Kris la.Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27Lè sa a, disip Jezi yo vin rive. Yo te sezi wè l' ap pale ak yon fanm. Men, yo yonn pa mande l': Kisa ou gen avèk li? Osinon: Poukisa w'ap pale avè li?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?”

28Fanm lan menm kite krich dlo a la, li tounen li al lavil la. Li di moun yo:Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29Vini wè yon nonm ki di m' tou sa m' fè. Eske nou pa kwè se Kris la?“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Moun yo soti lavil la, yo vin jwenn Jezi.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Disip yo menm, bò pa yo, t'ap mande Jezi pou l' manje. Yo t'ap di l': Tanpri, Mèt, manje kichòy non!Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Men, li reponn yo: Mwen gen pou m' manje yon manje nou pa konnen.But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33Lè sa a, disip yo yonn pran mande lòt: Gen lè yon moun pote manje ba li.So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Jezi di yo: Manje pa m', se fè volonte moun ki voye m' lan; se pou m' fin fè travay li ban m' fè a.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Nou menm, nou di: Nan kat mwa ankò nou pral fè rekòt. Mwen menm, mwen di nou: Gade jaden yo byen. Grenn yo fin mi, yo tou bon pou ranmase.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.

36Yo gen tan peye moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la, l'ap anpile grenn yo pou lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Se konsa, moun k'ap simen an kontan; moun k'ap ranmase a kontan tou ansanm avèk li.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37Sa pawòl la di a, se vre wi: Moun ki simen an, se pa li ki ranmase.For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Mwen voye nou ranmase nan yon jaden nou pa t' travay. Se lòt moun ki te travay li. Men, se nou menm k'ap pwofite travay yo.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.”

39Anpil moun Samari ki te rete nan Sika te kwè nan Jezi poutèt sa madanm lan te di yo: Li di m' tou sa m' fè.Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Se konsa, lè yo rive bò kote li, yo mande l' pou l' rete avèk yo. Jezi pase de jou nan lavil la.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Te gen anpil lòt moun ankò ki te kwè nan li, poutèt sa Jezi menm t'ap di yo.And many more believed because of His message.

42Yo di fanm lan konsa: Koulye a nou kwè, se pa sèlman poutèt sa ou rakonte nou an, men tou paske nou tande l' nou menm ak de zòrèy nou. Nou konnen se li menm vre ki vin delivre moun sou latè.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.”

43Lè Jezi fin pase de jou sa yo la, li pati, li ale nan peyi Galile.After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44Paske, se Jezi menm ki te di: Yo pa janm respekte yon pwofèt nan peyi kote l' soti.Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Lè li rive nan Galile, moun Galile yo te byen resevwa l', paske yo menm tou yo te al lavil Jerizalèm pou fèt Delivrans lan, yo te wè tou sa li te fè lè sa a.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.

46Apre sa, Jezi tounen vin Kana nan Galile, kote li te fè dlo tounen diven an. Nan lavil la te gen yon gwo fonksyonè leta ki te gen yon pitit gason l' ki te malad nan yon lòt lavil yo rele Kapènawòm.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.

47Lè li vin konnen Jezi te soti peyi Jide vin nan peyi Galile, li al jwenn li, li mande l' pou li al Kapènawòm geri pitit li a ki te prèt pou mouri.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.

48Jezi di l' konsa: Si nou pa wè mirak ak bèl bagay, nou p'ap janm kwè.Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49Fonksyonè a reponn li: Mèt, vin avè m' non, anvan pitit mwen an gen tan mouri.“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Jezi di li: Ou mèt al lakay ou. Pitit ou a p'ap mouri. Nonm lan kwè sa Jezi te di l' la, li ale.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51Li te sou wout lakay li toujou lè domestik li yo vin jwenn li avèk nouvèl sa a: Pitit ou a pa mouri.And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52Li mande yo: Kilè ti gason an refè? Yo reponn li: Yè apremidi, bò enè konsa, lafyèb la tonbe.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.”

53Papa a vin rekonèt se te lè sa a menm Jezi te di l': Pitit gason ou lan p'ap mouri. Se konsa li menm ansanm ak tout moun lakay li yo kwè nan Jezi.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.

54Sa te fè dezyèm mirak Jezi te fè lè l' tounen soti Jide vini nan peyi Galile.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
