When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
2
PLJ
kup na Yesu na gam gǝs ni ba pi batismayi da'a, ama mir mǝn kulci kar ti ni den pi.
BSB
BSB:
(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),
3
PLJ
Nan Babom Yesu kum muntuwo, tǝ za atl kǝ Yahudaka kan tǝ pal na kaar tǝ te gip atl kǝ Galili.
BSB
BSB:
He left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4
PLJ
Ra untuwo ar nǝm tǝ kop gip kǝti atl kǝ Samariya.
BSB
BSB:
Now He had to pass through Samaria.
5
PLJ
Ar ni tǝ mbubar gip bǝn kǝ mǝn Samariya gon kan ba la ti bi'e Sika, kosak na atl tu kan Yakubu bi nya gǝs Isubu gwa.
BSB
BSB:
So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6
PLJ
Shu mal kǝ Yakubu ra lasi. Nan ar banyi Yesu na ɓomi asǝmo, ar ni tǝ dǝm atl den bi shu mali. Wokociyiwo pǝt to dlom yam wi.
BSB
BSB:
Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7
PLJ
Ar ni nagǝr mǝn Samariya gon ɗir kǝ nge male, ar ni Yesu wul ti'e, <<Bim mal ngap a tla.>>
BSB
BSB:
When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her,
“Give Me a drink.”
8
PLJ
(Mir mǝn kopi gǝs te gip bǝn kǝ wuri fingali.)
BSB
BSB:
(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9
PLJ
Nagǝr mǝn Samariyayi wul Yesu'e, <<Ki mǝn Yahuda ni, kan amo nagǝr mǝn Samariya ni. Imnu kǝ lirim mal rawu?>> (Domici mǝn Yahuda ba mo gam kǝ ba lasi nǝm na mǝn Samariya da'a.)
BSB
BSB:
“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.)
10
PLJ
Yesu nǝmi ti tǝ wule, <<O na kǝ mom ni bi bar kǝ Yami na muntu kan ba lir ki maliwo, na kǝ lir ti tǝ bi'i mal mǝn bi ge mbatl wi.>>
BSB
BSB:
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.”
11
PLJ
Nagǝr mbarǝmi wule, <<Mǝn nartǝni, ki ra na bar kǝ dǝli mali da'a kan shu mali dlyam ngap. Ako ni kii zam mal mǝn bi ge mbatl tuwe?
BSB
BSB:
“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?
12
PLJ
Rawo kǝ man ni kori gǝmi Yakubu, muntu kan za'i mi shu mali kan tǝ tla mali na gam gǝs, mimir gǝs ma wu tla kup na ga dabba gǝsa?>>
BSB
BSB:
Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”
13
PLJ
Yesu nǝmi ti tǝ wule, <<Murgon tu kup tla mal kǝno, tii pa kum guzum mal ra,
BSB
BSB:
Jesus said to her,
“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
14
PLJ
ama murgon tu kup tla mal tu a biwo, ti'i kum guzum mal ra da'a. Mal tu kan aa bi ti baa dǝm ger mal gip ti kan baa pi ta ɗǝltǝn ar ri zami ge mbatl tu kan baa pa da gwa.>>
BSB
BSB:
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.”
15
PLJ
Nagǝr mǝri wul ti'e, <<Babomi, bim mal tu ngapi, kan guzum mal baa pi ta kemi gǝn kǝ ɗirtǝn ɗe kǝ nge mal da gwa.>>
BSB
BSB:
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.”
16
PLJ
Yesu wul ti'e, <<Ri la bi bakos gi kǝ ɗir ni nan ti.>>
BSB
BSB:
Jesus told her,
“Go, call your husband and come back.”
17
PLJ
Ar ni nagǝr mǝri bali ti tǝ wule, <<Ami na kos da'a.>> Yesu wul ti'e, <<Kǝ yari dlat nan kǝ wule ki na kos da gwa.
BSB
BSB:
“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her,
“You are correct to say that you have no husband.
18
PLJ
Ge shirǝm ni kǝ yari. Kǝ pi moni nantam, kan mbarǝm tu ki ra nan ti kǝkǝn ma kos gi ni da'a.>>
BSB
BSB:
In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
19
PLJ
Nagǝr mǝri wule <<Mǝn nartǝni, a shino ki mǝn yari shirǝm kǝ Yam ni.
BSB
BSB:
“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
20
PLJ
Ga kori gǝmi bote Yam den tlǝndǝr tu. Ama kǝn mǝn Yahuda wule gip bǝn Urshalima ni ndari dǝ mbarǝm bote Yami.>>
BSB
BSB:
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21
PLJ
Yesu wul ti'e, <<Nagǝr mbarǝme, ngǝsh ki demǝni, wokoci ra den ɗirtǝn nan kii bote Bǝba ba'e den tlǝndǝr tu ko su Urshalimaka da'a.
BSB
BSB:
“Believe Me, woman,”
Jesus replied,
“a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22
PLJ
Kǝn mǝn Samariya ba bote ni argon tu kǝ mom dagwa. Ama min mǝn Yahudawo, mǝ bote ni argon tu mǝ mom gwa, domici zami ɗǝltǝno tǝp kar mǝn Yahuda ni ar ɗiri.
BSB
BSB:
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23
PLJ
Ama wokoci ra den ɗirtǝne, kǝkǝn ma ar ɗir wi nan mǝn pi bota hoyi ba bote Bǝba gip Ruhu na ho mbatl gwa, domici badǝr mbarǝm ju ni Bǝba ba ngen wu bote ti.
BSB
BSB:
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.
24
PLJ
Yamo Ruhu ni, rawo ar nǝm dǝ munju ba bote tiwo, wu bote ti gip ruhu na ho mbatli.>>
BSB
BSB:
God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
25
PLJ
Ar ni nagǝr mǝri wule, <<A mom'e Almasihu (kan ba la ti bi'e Kǝristi) den ɗirtǝne. Wokoci tu tǝ mbǝrawo, tii ceti mi gamka den bar kup.>>
BSB
BSB:
The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
26
PLJ
Ar ni Yesu yari ti'e, <<Ami mǝn shirǝm nan ki kǝn ni'e ti.>>
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered,
“I who speak to you am He.”
27
PLJ
Wi gip shirǝmo se mir mǝn kulci kar ti ba pali, ar ni ar dǝmi wur bar kǝ nǝmi bi na am nan wu zam ti den shirǝm na gǝr mǝtli gwa. Ama ko nǝm gon ngen momi kar nagǝr mǝri da'a tǝ wule, <<Unun kǝ ndu'i?>> Ko dǝ gon wul Yesu'e, <<Unun kem kǝ shirǝm nan tiwu?>>
BSB
BSB:
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?”
28
PLJ
Ar ni nagǝr mǝri za tat mal gǝs lasi, tǝ pal te gip bǝnka tǝ wul mbarǝm'e,
BSB
BSB:
Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
29
PLJ
<<Ɗir shin ni mbarǝm tu kan yarim bar ju kup a pi gwa. Ko ti ni'e Almasihuyi?>>
BSB
BSB:
“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
30
PLJ
Ar ni mbarǝm ɗǝl ter gip bǝni wu ne gam kar Yesu.
BSB
BSB:
So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
31
PLJ
Gip untuwo ar ni mir mǝn kulci kar ti lir ti wu wule, <<Ba mǝn kulci, ci fingali.>>
BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32
PLJ
Ama Yesu wul wur'e, <<Ami ra na fingal tu kan kǝ mom argon dene da gwa.>>
BSB
BSB:
But He told them,
“I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33
PLJ
Ar ni mir mǝn kulci kar tiyi wul ezǝn'e, <<Rawo murgon ɗiri tǝni fingala?>>
BSB
BSB:
So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
34
PLJ
Ama Yesu wule, <<Fingal gǝn ni'e a pi argon tu muntu kan karǝm sur ba ndu a pi gwa, kan a pa pa'i mbap gǝsi.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus explained,
“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
35
PLJ
Kǝ kur wule, <Ar sawi kyar wupse dǝ rǝsh kǝn diya?> A yari in den kǝ ɓul ni ger gin kǝ shin ni bar kǝ gip kǝne! Wu nyo wi den bi rǝshi.
BSB
BSB:
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.
36
PLJ
Kǝkǝn tu ma nye mǝn pi mbap den zami ɓatltǝn gǝs wi, ti den rǝshi bar kǝ kǝn tǝ den ri gip ge mbatl tu kan baa pa da gwa, kǝ dǝ mǝn ngani na mǝn rǝshi kup pi ghol mbatli.
BSB
BSB:
Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.
37
PLJ
Ra untuwo, shirǝm tu'e, <Gon ngani kan gon ba rǝsho> untu ni ar ra.
BSB
BSB:
For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
38
PLJ
A kar kǝn kǝ rǝsh argon tu kǝn ni kǝ pi mbapi da gwa. Jen ni pi mbap hoyi, kan kǝno kǝ zam ra gip mbap gǝzǝni.>>
BSB
BSB:
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
PLJ
Na womti kǝ mǝn Samariya kan gip bǝn ta ngǝsh wur den Yesu den argon tu kan nagǝr mǝri yari gwa'e, <<Tǝ yarim bar ju kup a pi gwa.>>
BSB
BSB:
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
40
PLJ
Nan mǝn Samariyayi ɗir kar tiwo, ar ni wu lir ti den tǝ dǝm nan wur ngapi, kan tǝ dǝm kǝ muri rop.
BSB
BSB:
So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
41
PLJ
Mbarǝm na womti ngǝsh wur den Yesu den shirǝm gǝsi.
BSB
BSB:
And many more believed because of His message.
42
PLJ
Ar ni wu wul nagǝr mǝri'e, <<Ba'e mǝ nǝm ni den argon tu kǝ yari katl gwa da'a ama kǝkǝno mǝ kum wi na gam gǝmi, kan mǝ mom wi den mbarǝm tu ni'e Mǝn ɗǝli mbarǝm kǝ atl kundǝrǝndlip.>>
BSB
BSB:
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.”
43
PLJ
Den kaar kǝ muri ropiwo ar ni tǝ za kǝti atl kǝ Samariya tǝ ndara Galili.
BSB
BSB:
After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
44
PLJ
(Yesu tare yari wur wi den'e ba shin nartǝn kǝ mǝn yari shirǝm kǝ Yam gip bǝn gǝs da'a.)
BSB
BSB:
Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
45
PLJ
Nan tǝ mbubar gip Galiliwo, mǝn Galiliyi pi ti ɗem na ɗirtǝne. Wu shin bar ju kup tǝ pi gwa gip Urshalima wokoci kǝ Nyel Jikat Bǝdlabǝni, domici wu ma wu ra lasi.
BSB
BSB:
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.
46
PLJ
Kan tǝ pa te gip bǝn kǝ Kana kan ra gip atl kǝ Galili, las tu kan tǝ pali koni mal ka mal inabi gwa. Lasiwo nya bar mbarǝm gon ra den kumi dli gip Kaparnahum.
BSB
BSB:
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.
47
PLJ
Nan mbarǝm tu kum'e Yesu za atl kǝ Yahuda tǝ cwat gip Galiliwo, ar ni tǝ ri lir ti den dǝ tǝ ri warke nya gǝs nye moni, muntu kan ra bi dǝ mǝshtǝn gwa.
BSB
BSB:
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.
48
PLJ
Yesu wul ti'e, <<Kǝn ni kǝ shin bar kǝ halama na bar kǝ dlǝkǝntǝn dawo, kii ngǝsh kǝn den Yam da'a.>>
BSB
BSB:
Jesus said to him,
“Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
49
PLJ
Bar mbarǝmi lir Yesu tǝ wule, <<Mǝn nartǝni, sur kapǝn dǝ nya gǝn mǝshka.>>
BSB
BSB:
“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
50
PLJ
Yesu bali ti tǝ wule, <<Ndara, nya gi baa sa ra na ge mbatli.>> Mbarǝmi nǝm shirǝm kǝ Yesu kan tǝ ndara.
BSB
BSB:
“Go,”
said Jesus.
“Your son will live.”
The man took Jesus at His word and departed.
51
PLJ
Nan tǝ'i den tǝpo ar ni zher gǝs jen mbor ti na shirǝm den'e nya gǝs pal gingǝlǝn wi.
BSB
BSB:
And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
52
PLJ
Nan tǝ ngen momi wokoci tu kumi dli kǝ nyayi pa'o, ar ni zher gǝsi wul ti'e, <<Ghur bar kǝ gǝlla nǝm kǝ pǝt ni kumi dliyi za ti.>>
BSB
BSB:
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.”
53
PLJ
Ar ni bas mom'e wokociyi ni Yesu wul ti'e, <<Nya gi ba sa ra na ge mbatli.>> Ar ni mbarǝmi na mbarǝm kǝ shu bom gǝs kup ngǝsh wur den Yesu.
BSB
BSB:
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.
54
PLJ
Muntu ni'e halama bar kǝ nǝmi bi na am kǝ rop kan Yesu pi nan tǝ za gip atl kǝ Yahuda tǝ mbubar gip atl kǝ Galili gwa.
BSB
BSB:
This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
