John 4 (MNI) · Opened

1Ibungona John-dagi mi masing henna tung-inbasing semduna baptize toure haiba Pharisee-singna tare haibasi Jisuna khangle.When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2Asengbamakti Jisu masanadi makhoibu baptize touba natte mahakki tung inbasingna toubani.(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3Maram asina Ibungona Judea thadoktuna Galilee-da amuk hallammi.He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4Ibungogi khongchat adu Samaria phaoduna chatpa tarammi.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Ibungona asum lakpada Sychar kouba Samaria-gi sahar amada thunglammi. Mapham adu Jacob-na mahakki machanupa Joseph-ta pikhiba lam machet adugi manaktani.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Jacob-ki oiramba guha adu mapham aduda leirammi; Ibungona lamsang chatpadagi waraduna guha adugi manakta phamthare. Pungpham adu numit yungba matamni.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Tanja aduda Samaria-gi nupi amana mapham aduda ising sokpa laklammi, maduda Ibungona mangonda hairak-i, “Eingonda thaknaba ising khara pibiyu.”When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8(Matamdu Ibungogi tung-inbasingna khunggang aduda chana thaknaba leiba chatkhibagi maramna Ibungo mathantamak leirammi.)(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Maduda nupi aduna hairak-i, “Nahakti Jihudini aduga eina Samaria-gi nupini aduga kamdouna nahakna eingonda thaknaba ising piyu hairibano?” (Jihudisingdi Samaria-gi misingna sijinnaba kol-lik sijinnade.)“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.)

10Jisuna khumlak-i, “Nahakna Tengban Mapugi khudol adu khanglamlaba aduga nangonda thaknaba ising piyu hairiba mahak adu kanano haiba khanglamlabadi, nahakna mangonda nijaramgadabani aduga mahakna nangonda hingba piba ising adu pibiramgadabani.”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.”

11Nupi aduna hairak-i, “Ibungo, guha asisu yamna lui aduga nangonda ising sokkatnaba kon amattasu yaode aduga kadaidagi hingba piba ising adu lougadouribano?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Guha asibu piramba eikhoigi ipa ipu oiriba Jacob-tagi nahakna henna chaobra? Mahak masamak, machasing amadi mahakki sa sansingsu guha asigi ising thakkhi.”Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Maduda Jisuna khumlak-i, “Guha asigi ising thakpa mi khudingmak amuk khouranglakkaniJesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14adubu eina piba ising adu thakpa mi khudingmak adudi makhoida khourangba amuk hanna leiraroi. Eina pigadaba ising aduna makhoida hingba piba iphut oiraktuna makhoida lomba naidaba hingba pibigani.”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.”

15Nupi aduna hairak-i, “Ibungo, eingonda khourangba amuk leitanaba aduga mapham asida ising sokpa amuk laktanaba eingonda ising adu pibiyu.”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.”

16Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Chatlu, nahakki napuroiba kouraklaga mapham asida lak-u.”Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Nupi aduna khumlak-i, “Eigi ipuroiba leijade.” Maduda Jisuna hairak-i, “Nahakki napuroiba leite haibadu achumbani.“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18Achumbamakti, nahakki napuroiba manga leirammi aduga nahakka houjik leiminnariba nupa adusu nahakki napuroiba natte. Nahakna houjik haikhibadu yamna chummi.”In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Nupi aduna hairak-i, “Ibungo, nahak asi Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichou ama oigani haiba eina khangjare.“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20Eikhoi Samaria-gi ipa ipusingnadi Gerizim chingthak asida Tengban Mapubu khurumjei adubu nakhoi Jihudisingnadi Tengban Mapu khurumgadaba maphamdi Jerusalem-da oigadabani haina karigi hairibano?”Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nupi, eibu thajou, nakhoina Ipa adubu ching asida chatlaga nattraga Jerusalem-da chatlaga khurumloidaba matam adu lakli.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22Nakhoi Samaria-singdi nakhoina khurumliba Mapu Ibungo mahakpu munna khangde adubu eikhoi Jihudisingdi eikhoina khurumliba Mapu Ibungo mahakpu khang-i maramdi aran-khubham asi Jihudisingdagi lakpani.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Thamoi sengna khurumjaribasingna Ipa adubu thawaida amadi achumbada khurumgadaba matam adu lakli aduga matam adu houjik oisu oiri. Ipa aduna adugumna khurumjabasing adubu thiri.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.

24Tengban Mapudi Thawaini maram aduna Ibungo mahakpu khurumjabasingna thawaida amadi achumbada khurumjagadabani.”God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Nupi aduna Ibungoda hairak-i, “Christta kouba Messiah adu lakkani haiba eina khang-i aduga mahakna lakpa matamda mahakna eikhoida maram pumnamak loina sandokna takpigani.”The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Adudagi Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nangonda wari sariba eihak asi mahak aduni.”Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27Tanja adumaktada Jisugi tung-inbasing adu mapham aduda hallaklammi. Ibungona nupi amaga wari sanaramba adu ubada makhoi yamna ngaklammi adum oinamak “Ibungona mangondagi kari pambage?” nattraga “Ibungona karigi mahakka wari saribano?” haina makhoina Ibungoda hanglamde.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?”

28Nupi aduna mahakki ising pun adu guha manakta thanamlaga mahakki khunda chenkhiduna khundugi misingda hairammi,Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29“Eina toukhi toukhiba khudingmak eingonda loina haibiba nupa ama yeng-u lao. Mahaksibu Christta adu oiramgadra?”“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Maram aduna miyam aduna khun adudagi thoraktuna Jisugi manakta laklammi.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Cheirak aduda Jisugi tung-inbasingna Jisuda kanna haijarammi, “Oja Ibungo, khara chabiyu.”Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Maduda Ibungona khumlak-i, “Nakhoina sungkhang khangdaba eigi chanaba chinjak leire.”But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33Maram aduna Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna makhoi masel amaga amaga hangnarammi, “Eikhoina chatthoklingeida kanagumba amana Ibungogi chanaba puraklamba oigadra?”So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Eigi chinjakti eibu thabirakpa Ibungo mahakki aningba touba amadi mahakki thabakpu mapung phana loisinba aduni.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Nakhoina asumna hainaba nattra, ‘Tha mari leiraga lourok tha oirani?’ Adubu eina nakhoida hairi, loubuksing asida yeng-u! Makhoi khoingang sare khaoba yare.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.

36Maru hunba mahakka akhaoba mahakka punna haraominnanaba, akhaoba mahak adu khutsuman phang-i amasung lomba naidaba hingbagi mahei khomjilli.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37Hainaba asi achumbani, ‘Kanagumba mi amana maru hulli aduga atoppa kanagumba mi amana khao-i.’For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Nakhoina thabak suba yaorudaba loubukta khaorunanaba eina nakhoibu thare. Atoppa misingna awaba thabaksing adu subiramle aduga makhoina subirambagi kannaba adu nakhoina phangle.”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.”

39“Eina toukhi toukhiba khudingmak mahakna eingonda loina haibi” haina nupi aduna haibagi maramna khun adugi Samaria macha mayam amana Jisubu thajarammi.Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Makhoina Ibungogi manakta lakpa matamda, Ibungobu makhoiga leiminnanaba makhoina Ibungoda kanna haijarammi, maram aduna Ibungona mapham aduda numit nini amaga leire.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Aduga atoppa mi mayam amasu Ibungona haiba wa tabadagi thajare.And many more believed because of His message.

42Makhoina nupi aduda hairak-i, “Houjikti nahakna haiba khaktadagi eikhoina thajaba nattre adubu eikhoi isamak Ibungona haiba tajare. Tasengnamak Ibungo mahak asi taibangpan asigi Kanbiba Mapu aduni.”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.”

43Mapham aduda numit nini leiramlaba matungda, Jisuna Galilee-da chatlammi.After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44Ibungo masamakna asumna haikhi, “Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichousingdi makhoi masagi lamsingda ikai khumnabide.”Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Ibungona Galilee-da thungba matamda mapham adugi misingna Ibungobu taramna oklammi maramdi makhoina Lanthokpibagi chakkhangbagi thouramgidamak Jerusalem-da chatlubada mapham aduda Ibungona toukhiba thabak pumnamak loina makhoina ukhibagini.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.

46Jisuna isingbu anggur mahi olhanbikhiba mapham Galilee-gi Cana kouba khun aduda Ibungona amuk hanna chatlammi. Aduga Capernaum-da leiba ningthougi phamnaiba amagi machanupa ama narammi.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.

47Jisuna Judea-dagi Galilee-da lakle haiba tabadagi mahakki sigadabagi phibamda nariba machanupa adubu phahanbinaba mahakna Jisugi manakta chattuna Capernaum-da lakpinanaba haijarammi.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.

48Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nakhoina khudamsing amadi angak angakpasing udriba phaoba nakhoina keidounungda thajaroi.”Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49Phamnaiba aduna khumlak-i, “Ibungo, eigi angang adu sidringeida lakpiyu.”“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nayumda hallo, nahakki nachanupa naba pharagani.” Maduda phamnaiba aduna Jisuna mangonda haibiba wahei adu thajaduna mahakki mayumda chatpa hourammi.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51Mahakna hallakpagi lambida leireingeida mahakki macha adu naba phaduna hingle haibagi pao mahakki manaisingna mangonda puraklammi.And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52Karamba matamda angang adu phagatlakkhibage hangbada makhoina khumlak-i, “Ngarang numit yungba matung pung ama taba matamda mahakki laihou adu khanghoudana thakhre.”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.”

53Maduda Jisuna mangonda, “Nahakki nachanupa adu pharagani” haibikhiba pungja adumaktadani haiba mapa aduna khangle. Maram aduna mahak amadi mahakki imung manung loina Jisubu thajare.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.

54Masi Jisuna Judea-dagi Galilee-da laklaba matungda touba anisuba angakpa khudamni.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
