John 4 (JNI) · Opened

1Sa ugomo asere Yeso mausi unu guna afarisiyawa wa kunna agi ma kem ahana akatuma makuri ma zorsowe matike yahaya me.When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2(Azome yeso mani ma zorso anuba ahana aka tuma kami kani).(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3Ma dusa maceki manyanga mu yahudiya, makuri a manyanga mu galili.He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4Ya cukuno gbas ni uwatu a manyanga mu samariya.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Ma-eh anire nipin ni manyanga mu samariya, sa atisa nini agi saikar, ma-manu nan nu ubinani u manyanga me sa yakubu mei nya van umeme yusufu.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Urijiya uyakubuwabini ani urani: Barki auzo atanu, Yeso macukuno ani me ayo urijiya me, ina tii ma uwui uni wazi.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Abini me ure uca wanu samariya ma-eh utuka uymei. Yeso magun me, “Nyankum gmei in sii.”When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8Ana katuma kameme waribe anipin ukpa imumare.(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Ucha wanu Samariya magun, “Yeso aneni u Yahude udi ikum gmei ma saa ahira am mi sanzi unanu samariya?” (Barki a yahudawa wazo me anu inde nan anu samariya). 10“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.)

10Yeso makabirka me magu dagusi urusa unyanki wa asere uni, nani desa magunan hu unyanki me gmei me uda ikome ma nyaki we gmei mu zatu marsa.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.”

11Uneme magunmme hu una aje uzo we ini imum u inta ugei me, urijiya me uyenne uzi coccom abani hu udi kem gmei mu zatu umarsa.“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Ya cukuno hu uteki acco uru me yakubu unuge sa cekin duru urijiya me, nicce ni meme wana ahana ameme, nan ma damba ma meme, sa wa sii gmei mu rijiya ugenne me.Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Yeso maka birka me magu, “Vat desa masa gmei maginome madi kuri makunna niwee ne gmei.Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14Desa masaa gmei me sa indi nya me madi kuri makunna niwee nigmei ba gmei me sandi nyame madi cukuna me uvenke uni ahira ameme uzatu umarsa.”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.”

15Unee me magume, hu una kura gmei me mu venke me, kati niwee nigmei nikuri nimekum, barki inkuri in'eh utukame.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.”

16Yeso magumme dusa uka aye nan nu ruma uwe me.Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Uneeme makabirka me inzin nu rumaba, “Yeso magummee kadura kani wabuka uzin nu uruma ba.“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18Wa wuza anya kani chibi desazi nan me uruma une maniba abanna wakuka kadura.”In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Uneeme magumme hu una kura marusa hu una kadura kani.“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20Acokoro aru uzi biregara anipo nige me shi be yagu u urshalima uni ahira me sa ateki shi unu uree idingi u wuzizza ubi ringara men.”Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21Yeso magunmme unee hem mi uganiya u eze, sa adi da wuzaa biregara ba, azesere anipo, nani urshalima ba.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22Shi itunguzuno imum be sa ita shi ini, haru ti tunguzuno imum be sa ti rusa ini, barki ukem ubura uro usoro yahudawa uni zi.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Uganiya u eze, wamu aye, sa anu tukunzino ukadura wadi tunguno acco anyimo abibe, nan kadura anu usanda utugungino ugino uni asere ma nyara we.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.

24Ugomo asere bibe bini an debe sa wa tunguzino me wa tunguzino me anyino abibe nan kadura.God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Unee me magunme, “Inrusa masihiya ma eze, desa atisame ugomo Asere uganiyame sama aye, madi bezi imum vat.The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Yeso magunme mimani unatize tige me sa in zin.”Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27Abinime ahana akatuma kameme waze wakemme mazin tize nan vanu u'eh imum me i nyawe biygan anyimo aweme daki uye magu nyanini vana u'eh me ma nyara nyani nyanini ya wuna mazin in tize nan me.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?”

28Uneh me mahiri ma ceki nidong ni meme, ma kuri anipin ma buki anu,Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29“Ayyenii liri unu be sa mabom vat imum sa ma wuza ini kati nyani memani asere me?”“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Wanno wasuri anyimo anipin me wa ka kem me.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Arani anyimo anime ahana akatuma kameme wa tir me tari wagunmme hu una aje, “Re'imare.”Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Abini me magun we inzini imare be sa shi iteshi ini.” 33But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33Ahana akatuma kameme wa igi acce awe me, kat uyye mani ma ayye men inimare me?”So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Yeso magun, “We imimare im ine ini in wuzi katuma kade sa matuman inkuri in minca katuma ka meme.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Izinu gusa agi usana-ahira wade tipeu tinazi hanii? In zini uboo ushi, irani tirung l iri in tabari uguna adri bisana me.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.

36Unu kara ubisana me madi kem imum be sa ma nyara, makuri mazinu orzo ubi sana me ahana uvenke uzatu umarsa, barki una tibira nan unu orso wa wuzi iraba irom nigo me.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37Abanna me, ni gbuang ne tizeme kadura kani sa na guna uyyen inti bira, a uyyen unu orso.For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Matumashi uka wa saa ni re-ren shi ya kem ya re uronta me.”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.”

39Asamariyawa gbardang anipin ni gino me wa hem imme barki tize tu unee ugino me sa ma magu, ma boom vat imum be sa ma wuzii ini.Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Sa asamariyawa wa ha-a ahira ameme wa gunme matuu ahira aweme mawu tiye tire nan we.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Ayye gbardang wa keki ana je me wa hem in kadura me barki tize timeme.And many more believed because of His message.

42Wa dusa wagun, “Vanu u-eh me haru ta hem in kadura barki imumbe sawabuka cas ba barki haru ta kunna ina cee aru me.”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.”

43Sa mawuna tiye tire mahiri madusa ama nyanga mu galili.After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44Barki anime Yeso mabuki uguna vana ukadra ka sere ada hira me iri imum ini amanyanganmu meme.Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Sa ma biki a manyanga mu galili ini anu galiliyawa wa-eh wakabi me barki wa iri vat imum be sa ma wuzi ini a urshalima uganiya u idi, barki we me wa haa udi me.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.

46Manno makuri mahaa ukana a manyanga mu galili, ahirame sa magamirka gmei macukuno, uwango. Ukarna hum uyye marani desa vana umeme mazi uhumaba.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.

47Sawa kunna Yeso masuro amanyanga muyahudiya makuri amanyanga mu galili mano madusa ahira ameme maka tirame tari agi ma-eh ma human vaname barki amarani ayino iwono.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.

48Yeso magume inka daki mawuza imombe sa idi nyashi biyyau ida nyashi kadura ba.Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49Una katuma kanyino kalikobo me, magunme unu-udang aye a kpana kum kudaa sarki wono.“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Yeso magunme; dusa imum iwe vana me maciki uhuma mawono ba, unome madusa ma hem in tizeme sa Yeso mabuka ma dusa atan tume.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51Maraa anyimo tanu ba ana katuma ka meme wa kabi me, wagun me, vana u weme ma huma.And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52Madusa ma ikiwe uganiya be sa nipum ni vana me ni ba tuba uwuna u me shew wagun me, ninji inna azumo a inde uwui ukoni me wa ceki me.”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.”

53Ine ini acco me marusi uganiyame sa Yeso maukime, vana uwe me mahuma. Meme in nicce ni meme ma kabi kadura me, nan ana akura ameme vat.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.

54Iginome ine ini imum ibiyyau ikure sa Yeso mawuzi, sa ma kuri amanyanga mu galili usoro amanyanga mu yahudiya.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
