John 4 (IDC) · Opened

1AFarisiyawa ya kọng si iYesu sọ pee Aghọyii nga, na asha ju bọ iminimini ki gina iYahaya kọ.When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2Ni ba iYesu nga ki ẹkẹrẹkywuẹ nga sọ ju iminimini ba, aghọyii nga bọ.(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3IYesu ya kọng Ila imumani iba ni, ava ya aYahudiya ki vuu nga aGalili.He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4Iyiya yọ ni iYesu kyeng idẹ aSamariya.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Ava ba idẹ ice ifọng ka aSamariya ayọrọ si aSaikar. Ifọng shi ayayo kina ẹrẹbọ umani iYakubu ma Anọ nga iYusufu ka akyua ra.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Akadu wu ni irijiya iYakubu shi kọ. IYesu ya kiya nọ kyeng ni, ava cicaa ka anyu irijiya. Udi ba kina abiyatẹ atinọng kọ.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Ace ayiri agha aSamariya va ba uvo amusumu. IYesu va tẹri nga si, “Ma mi amusumu ki imẹ sa.”When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8Aghọyii nga kọ ghila bọ idẹ ifọng ka ya ghẹ imila.(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Ayiri ra agha aSamariya va tẹri iYesu si, “Nanyi wu ni ungọ ni aBayahude nga ni ingọ ki shọr mi amusum usa, imẹ aghọmani imẹ shi ayiri aghọ aSamariya?” Ka aYahudawa ka kyoo bọ aghọ aSamariya ba.“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.)

10IYesu va yira nga si, “Ingọ ta ye uma Ọnọng, kina aghọmani atẹri ngọ si, ‘Ma mi amusum usa ni,’ ingọ ta kọ shọr nga ni ata kọ ma ngọ amusum uma ọkyuọ.”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.”

11Ayiri va tẹri IYesu si, “Agha aghaghẹ, Ingọ shi ngọ ni ima uvo amusumu ba, irijiya shi ikyuu. Ni abi kọ nọ peni adibi amusumu uma ọkyuọ kọ?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Ta ingọ gina ate yi iYakubu le, aghọmani aya yi irijiya ni, anga ki kirẹkwyuẹ nga, kina anọ nga, kina ikina nga, asa amusumu nga le?”Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13IYesu va yira si, “Aghọmani asa amusumu ri ki va kọng idafo na amusumu.Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14Ki nadidu aghọmani asa amusumu mani iki ma nga ni, aki sọ kọng idafo na amusumu ba ka aya ta kọ sang asing. Amusumu mani iki ma nga ni aki tee nga angọ uma ọkyuọ umani ushi wọ na amaa ba.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.”

15Ayiri va tẹri nga si, “Aghaghaghẹ, ma mi adidu amusumu, ki ima sọ kọng idafo na amusumu ba, ki imẹ ma sọ ba ukadi uvo amusumu ba.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.”

16IYesu va tẹri nga si, “Ya yọrọ aghẹmẹ ngọ kọ ba ukẹẹ.”Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Ava yira ki tẹri si, “Ita shi mi na aghẹmẹ ba.” IYesu va tẹri nga si, “Ingọ tẹri aipang nọ mani ingọ tẹri si ushi ngọ na aghẹmẹ ba.“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18Ka aipang nga shi si, ingọ kọ biya aghẹmẹ atọng, aghọmani ingọ shi kini nga ka aikyua ri ni ba aghẹmẹ ngọ nga ba.”In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Ayiri va tẹri iYesu si, “Aghaghaghẹ, imẹ kyoo ni ọngọ na aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng nga.“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20Anirakpẹẹ nọ shọr Ọnọng ki itili ri. Ni inu aYahudawa tẹri si Urushelima bọ kpaa nọ mani jọọ Ọnọng kọ.”Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21IYesu va yira nga si, “Ayiri, ma aipang ki imumani isọ tẹri, akyua ki ba mani ajiya ki jọọ bọ Ate ki itili ra ba, ko Urushelima ba.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22Inu ajiya aSamariya inu sọ ta agho ki imumani inu ye nu ba. Ki iyi aYahudawa ye imumani iyi sọ ju, ka ufoo kunu kidẹ aYahudawa kọ.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Ni akyua ki ba, kaa akọ ba, na aghọ ujọọ aipang aki jọọ Ate kidẹ aghing, kina aipang, ka Ate wang idi ighọ ajiya ka ajọọ nga.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.

24Ọnọng ni aghing ngaa, aghọ ujọọ nga ni, asọ jọọ nga kidẹ aghing, kini idẹ aipang.”God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Ayiri va tẹri iYesu si, “Imẹ ye si aghọfoo mani ayọrọ nga si iKristi ki ba. Insi aba ni aki yeni yi kwikẹ.”The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26IYesu tẹri nga si, “Imẹ aghọ pii ni ngọ, imẹ shi inga.”Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27Asọ kpẹẹ upii wudu ni aghọyii nga va vuu, ava wo ica kọnọ mani anu ni asọ pii na ayiri. Ni ba aghọmani atẹri nga si, “Ikẹmbọ nọ wang?” ko na awulu nga si, “Ikẹmbọ sa ni ọsọ pii ni nga?”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?”

28Ayiri ra vasa ya ikyo nga ya kọ ukadu ki kyaa idẹ ifọng ki ya tẹri ajiya,Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29“Inu ba, ku ma nu ajiya mani atẹri mi kwikẹ mani ikọ ju! Ta anga shi aghọfoo ra?”“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Ajiya va hwuu kidẹ ifọng ki ba ukushi iYesu.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Ashi kidẹ udu wudu ni, aghọyii iYesu va shọr nga ki tẹri si, “Aghọmẹẹ, la imila.”Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Ni iYesu va tẹri bọ si, “Imẹ shi ni ice imila mani inu ye nu ice ima kaya ba.”But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33Aghọyii nga va wulu ace bọ si, “Ta ace aghọ ma nga imila le?”So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34IYesu va yira si, “Imila mi yọ shi mani iju uwang aghọmani atuma mi, ki imẹ va kpẹẹ utina nga.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Ba inu ka tẹri si, ‘Ipiri inari yọ shẹ nọ curu imila ba’? Kindọ ni imẹ sọ tẹri nu, inu irite na bibọrọ, iyeni si, itọ ucuru.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.

36Aghọ curu imila sọ peni ọka nga, aka va curu ima upeni nga ki kya ọkyuọ utaa amaa kọ, ka aghọ pila na curu ka ju ikwyifu.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37Akyua ra kọ ni, ighang upii ra ni aipang nga, si, ‘Ace aghọ pila, ace ghọ curu imila.’For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Ituma nọ curu imumani uta kọng nu ọlọ kaya ba. Ace aghọ bọ kọng ọlọ, inu ni inu la udọng usher bọ.”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.”

39Aghọ aSamariya napam kidẹ ifọng ma aipang ni iYesu kọ upii ayiri ra mani atẹri si, “Atẹri mi nadidu uma mani ikọ ju.”Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Aghọ aSamariya ya ba ukushi iYesu ni, ava shọr nga sa aci kini bọ, ava ci ni bọ awii apai.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Ajiya napam vasa ma aipang ni iYesu kaya upii nga.And many more believed because of His message.

42Akyua ra kọ ni aghọ aSamariya tẹri ayiri si, “Aikyua ri ni iyi ma aipang kọ, ba si imumani ọsọ tẹri yọ ba, kiyi ka kyakwyuẹ yi kọng, kiva ma aipang si ajiya ri nga shi aghọfoo asing.”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.”

43Aya la awii apai ni iYesu va sang ki isii aSamariya ki kyaa aGalili.After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44Ki iYesu ki ẹkẹrẹkywuẹ nga kọ tẹri si, “Atina Ọnọng ka ata shi nọ ujọọ ki ẹrẹbọng nga ba”.Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Aya fọma aGalili ni, agha aGalili va yira nga kini ivọ ipai, ki ibọ ma kya agya ubulu kọ Urushelima, anu imumani iYesu ju.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.

46IYesu va vuu nga ifọng aKana ka aGalili, ọka mani atee amusumu ikọlọ nashi. Ọka ni ace atina utẹri ashuwa aghọmani anọ nga shi akyuọ ba ka aKafarnahum.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.

47Ajiya ra ya kọng si iYesu wẹ na vuu nga aGalili kọ sang ka aYahudiya ni, ava kyaa ọkọ shi nga kiya shọr nga kaya lẹni na anọ nga aghọmani ashi ki anyu ukpo.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.

48IYesu va tẹri nga si “Insi inu ta nu nọ amaa kini uma ọsa uwo ica ba ni, inu ki ma nọ aipang ba ko nazii.”Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49Atina ọka utẹri ashuwa va tẹri iYesu si, “Aghaghaghẹ, ba ki ma kẹẹ ka anọ mi kina ma kpoo ba.”“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50IYesu va tẹri nga si, “Wor ka anọ ngọ ki ba akyuọ.” Ajiya nga ma aipang ki imumani iYesu tẹri nga, ava walu.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51Ashi kọ utira ukyaa ọna nga ni, agira vasa takwyuẹ ni nga ava tẹri nga si, “Anọ ngọ kọ ba akyuọ.”And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52Ava wulu nga agọlọ mani aba akyuọ kọ. Ava tẹri nga si “Amushẹ ki na awa ayeng anga atinọng ni ufuru ẹrẹnọma sher nga kọ.”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.”

53Ate Anọ va kpẹlẹ si akyua umani iYesu tẹri nga si “Wolu, ka anọ ngọ ki ba akyuọ kọ.” Ajiya kina aghọ ọna nga va ma aipang ni iYesu.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.

54Udiwu shi utina uwo ica unga ipai mani iYesu ju kọ sang nga ka aYahudiya ki kyaa aGalili.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
