John 4 (SCH) · Opened

1Phariseengei han John nêkin Jisua ruoisi atam uol, ama'n tui leh mi a baptis a min tam uol ti an riet zoia.When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2(Adikin, Jisua'n chu tute baptis maka; a ruoisingei vaiin ke mi an baptis ngâi ani.)(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3Masikin Jisua'n ha anga an ti hah a rietin chu Judea ram a mâka Galilee tieng a kîr nôka;He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4a se tieng Samaria ram palin a se rang anâng ani.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Samaria ram sûnga han khopui inkhat Sychar an ti han a hong tunga, Jacob'n a nâi Joseph mun a pêkna kôl hah ani.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Jacob tuikuong khom mahan aoma, Jisua'n a lam lônna a sôl sikin ha tuikuong kôla han ânsung raka, ma hah sûnchimripa ani.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Samaria nupang inkhat tuithâl rangin a honga, male Jisua'n a kôm, “Tui nêk rang mi pêk roh,” a tipea.When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8(A ruoisingei chu sâkruo rochôk rangin khopui sûnga an sea).(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Nupangnu han a kôm, “Nangma Juda mi ni nia, keima Samaria nupang ki nia, kho-angin mo tui nêk rang mi ni zong hi?” (Judangei han khuri mo, khuriâi mo, Samaria mingeiin an mangna chu mang ngâi khâi mak ngei.)“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.)

10Hanchu Jisua'n a thuona, “Pathien neinunpêk le buong rang mi pêk roh tipu hi ni riet nisenla chu, nangman keng a kôm zong na ta; hanchu, ama'n ringna-tui nang a pêk rang ani,” a tia.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.”

11Nupangnu han a kôm, “Pu, tui thâlna laka ite dôn mak chea, tuikuong lak ânthûk zana. Khotieng mo ringna-tui na man rang?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Kin pu Jacob'n hi tuikuong hih mi pêka; ama le a nâingei le a sâ vâi ngei murdi khom ma renga hih an lei nêk ngâi ani. Kin pu Jacob nêkin no roiinpui uol mo?”Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Jisua'n a thuona, “Tutu khom hi tui nêk ngei chu an tui lân râl nôk a ta,Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14Hannirese, tukhom an kôma tui ke pêk rang a nêk ngei kai chu an tui inrâl nôk tet khâi no nih. Keiman tui ke pêk rang chu, an sûnga tuinâr hong chang a ta, tuinâr han ringna-tui le kumtuong ringna pêk atih,” a tia.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.”

15Nupangnu han a kôm, “Pu, ma tui hah ni pêk roh! ku tui ânrâl khâi loina rang le hi tena lâ tuithâl ko hong khâi loina rangin,” a tia.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.”

16Jisua'n ha nu kôm han, “Sênla, no lômpa va koi inla, hong nôk roh,” a tipea.Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Nupangnu'n a kôm, “Lômpa la dôn mu-ung,” tiin amanu han a thuona. Jisua'n chong a melea, “Lômpa dôn mu-ung, ni ti hih, ni ti mindik ani.“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18Pasal rangnga in ne neipui zoia, male atûna no ompuipa khom hih no lômpa tatak nimak. Chongdiktak ni ni ril ani,” a tia.In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Nupangnu han a tia, “Pu, dêipu ni ni ti ki riet.”“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20“Kin Samari richibulngeiin chu hi tânga hin Pathien chubai an mûk ngâi, aniatachu, nangni Judangeiin chu Jerusalema Pathien chubai kin mûk ngâi ani, nin ti ngâi.”Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21Jisua'n, nupangnu kôm han a tipea, “Nupangnu, keima mi iem roh, hi tâng le Jerusalem ngêt ni loi khomin mingeiin Pa chubai an mûk zora la tung atih.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22Nangni Samari mingeiin chu nin riet loi chubai nin mûk ngâi; aniatachu keini Judangeiin chu kin riet ke chubai kin mûk ngâi ani, sanminringna hih Judangei renga hong suok kêng ani sikin.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Hannirese azora atung rang ani zoi, male atûn khom atung tir ani zoi, ma tikin chu Pathien chubaimûk ngeiin Ratha le Chongtakin Pa chubaimûk an tih, Pa'n ma anga mingei ha ama chubaimûk rangin a nuom ngâi ani.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.

24Pathien chu Ratha ania, ama chubai mûk ngeiin Ratha le chongtakin chubai an mûk rang ani,” a tia.God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Nupangnu han a kôm, “Messiah la juong atih, ti ki riet, a juong tikin chu neinunngei murdi mi ril atih,” a tia.The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Jisua'n a thuona, “Keima nang chongpuipa hih, ama hah ki ni,” a tia.Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27Ma lâitak han a ruoisingei an hong kîr nôka, nupang leh an chong an mua an kamâm sabaka. Aniatachu, tutên ha nu kôm han, “Imo no zong?” aninônchu ama kôm, “Ithomo nupang no chongpuia?” tiin khom ite rekel mak ngei.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?”

28Hanchu nupangnu hah a tuibêl mâkrakin khopui sûnga a kîra, male mingei kôm,Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29“Ki sin lei tho ngei murdi a ril thei let mi inkhat a oma, hong en ta u, Messiah ni thei ni mo?” a tia.“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Masikin khopui renga an honga Jisua kôm an va se zoi.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Ma zoratak han ruoisingeiin, “Minchupu, sâk-sâk bak hi roh!” tiin an lei ngêna.Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Nikhomsenla Jisua'n, “Nin riet loi bu nêk rang ko dôn,” tiin a thuona.But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33Masikin ruoisingei han anni leh anni anin rekela, “Mîn bu an hong chôi pe mini?” an tia.So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Jisua'n an kôm, “Mi tîrpu lungdo sin le a sin zoi rang hi ku bu tuitak ani, a tipe ngeia.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Nangnin chu, ‘Bu âtna rang tha minli ala om nin tia.’ Aniatachu nangni ki ril, loingei so en sabak ta u; atûn renga ât rangin bungei an min zoi!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.

36A âtpu'n chu rathaman a man ngâia, kumtuong ringna dêna om rangin amara a mintûp ngâi; masikin a lingpu le a âtpu an râisân ânruol theina rangin.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37‘Mi inkhatin a linga, mi dangin a ât ngâi,’ ti hi adik ani.For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Nin sin loina muna nangni ki tîr; mi dangin an sina, an sin sai hah nin ât ani,” a tia.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.”

39Nupangnu han, “Ki sin lei tho ngei murdi ni ril let,” tiin a thurchi a misîr pe ngei sikin Samari khopui mingei, mi tamtakin Jisua an iem zoi.Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Masikin, Samari mingei ha Jisua kôm an honga, an kôm om rangin an ngêna, male Jisua'n ha khopui han sûnnik a châm zoi.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Midang tamtakin khom a thurchi misîr sikin an iem sa zoia,And many more believed because of His message.

42male anni ngei han nupangnu kôm, “Atûn chu mi ni misîr pe sika ni loiin keini lelên a thurchi misîr kin rieta, hi mi hih rammuol sanminringpu ani khet ti kin riet zoi,” an tia.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.”

43Ma khopui han sûnnik a châm suole chu a mâka Galilee rama a se zoi.After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44Jisua'n ama rang nanâk ân tia, “Dêipungei chu an ram nanâka chu miritin om ngâi mak ngei,” tiin.Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Galilee rama a tungin chu mipuingeiin an lei phâm tataka, Jerusalema Kalkân Kût han inchelin Jisua sintho ngei murdi ha an mu sikin.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.

46Hanchu, Jisua ha Galilee rama Cana khuoa tui uain a min changna han a hong nôka, sorkâr ulien inkhat a oma, a nâipasal Capernaum khuoa dam loiin a om ani.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.

47Jisua Judea ram renga Galilee rama a hong ti a riet lehan a kôm a sea, Capernaum khuoa sea, a nâipasal juong mindam rangin Jisua a ngêna, a nâipasal hah a thi vang zoi ani.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.

48Jisua'n an kôm, “Sininkhêlngei le neinun kamâmomngei nin mu nônchu tutên iem no tu nui,” a tipe ngeia.Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49Sorkâr ulien han, “Pu, ka nâipasal a thi mân ni juong pe roh,” tiin a thuona.“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Jisua'n a kôm, “Se nôk ta roh, na nâipasal a dam zoi!” a tipea. Ha mi han Jisua chongngei ha iem pumin a se zoi.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51Hanchu a in a pan lâiin lampuia a tîrlâmngei leh annin tonga, “Na nâipasal a dam zoi!” an tipea.And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52Ama'n an kôm, a nâipasal lei dam zora tak hah a rekel ngeia, annin a kôm, “Mazan chonûktieng dârkhat inring han a mintun a lei mathân zoi,” an tipea.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.”

53Hanchu, a pa han Jisua'n a kôm, “Na nâipasal a dam zoi,” a tipe zora tak hah ani ti a riet zoi. Masikin ama le a inmingei anrêngin an iem zoi ani.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.

54Ma hah Jisua'n Judea ram renga Galilee rama a hong suo nûka a sininkhêl sin avoinikna ani.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
