John 4 (STW) · Opened

1Pharisees kkewe ra rongorong pwe ra towunap rhooan kkayeo kka Jesus a paptismusaar me mmwaen John nge a pwigiir pwe naiun rhooan kkayeo. (When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2Nge minna wenewenen, nge saapw Jesus pwe faer rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun minne re paptismusaar.)(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3Iwe nge igiwe Jesus a rongorong meeta we re aepesa, a siusaengi Judea a sefaaen ngaeni Galilee;He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4nge noan faaeraeg noa we aan nge epwan toonong noan Samaria.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Noan Samaria a noa reen eew aepinoamw itan Sychar, igaan nge ese taaw saengi maat we Jacob e ngaenneei Joseph iwe naiun.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Rhanniunim we aaen Jacob eno ee, iwe Jesus a itto mooat tiw epwe a mmaniuniu reen aan aeggaesaeisaei. A aerepa nugunupaen oanowas.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Erhai rhooapwuton Samaria a itto pwe epwe itto ifiif rhan, nge Jesus a aengaeni pwe, “Ngoatto egius rhan pwe iuniumaei.” (When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8Rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun re soano pwe renoa nee aepinoamw pwe renoa chuwaai mwongo.)(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Rhooapwut we a aengaeni pwe, “Een erhai Jew, nge ngaang erhai re Samaria — e ifa wusun nge wa tingoareaei iuniumoamw rhaan?” (Re Jews resoapw iun nong noan aar kkap me mwongo nong noan aar saepiy re Samaria.)“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.)

10Jesus a paniuwaeni pwe, “Aere wo giuneei meeta e Deus efang me iyo e etingoareog iuniuman rhaan, nge wo tingoar ngaeni nge iiy epwe ngaenneog minna rhaniun menaw.”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.”

11Rhooapwut we a iura pwe, “Menap, esooar oamw pwaecchi nge rhanniunim een iye e igin nennoan. Iya iga wopwe pwigi rhaniun menaw me ee?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Jacob we rhaepetomaem minne efang ngaenigemaem rhanniunim ee; iiy me aetekkewe naiun me naiun maan nge oanongeer nge re iun saengi rhan eei. Meeta, een wo iura pwe wo taegias saengi Jacob?”Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Jesus a paniuwaeni, “Rhooakka re iun me reen rhan eei nge repwe moar sefaaen,Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14nge rhooa kena re iun me reen rhan na ngaang ipwe ngaenneer nge esooar faaen eew ne repwe moar. Rhan na ipwe ngaenneer ina epwene no pwe rhaepeton eew rhan ina epwene ngaenneer rhaniun menaw na esooar ssiaaenin.”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.”

15Rhooapwut we a iura pwe, “Menap, ngaenneei aei rhan na! Ina nge isoapw rhiuwen moar no nge isoapw rhiuwen itto no igeei pwe ipwe itto ifiif rhan.”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.”

16Jesus a aengaeni, “Wonoa faingi mwaaen we rhooan ngaenne oamw nge wa sefaaeneto.”Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Rhooapwut we a iura pwe, “Esooar rhooan ngaenneaei.” Jesus a iura pwe, “Ennet minimwu wo iura pwe esooar rhooan ngaenne oamw.“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18Een wa moannon appwiuniupai ngaeniir nimman mwaaen, iwe nge mwaaen na wono reen igina ina soapw oanongonniuwan rhooan ngaenne oamw. Wo aengaeniaei minna wenewenen kkepas.”In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Rhooapwut we a iura pwe, “Iya weri pwe een erhai profeta, menap.“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20Re Samaria kkewe rhaepetoi re itto maeipin ngaeni Deus me wooan rhug eei, nge aaemi Jews oaw iura pwe Jerusalem minne sipwe maegin maeipin ngaeni Deus me ee.”Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21Jesus a aengaeni pwe, “Rhooapwut mwuun, niugiuniug ngaeniaei, eyor eew oat ina epwe noa itto nge aeremas resoapw maeipin ngaeni no minna Semaei me wooan rhug eei aere noan Jerusalem.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22Aaemi re Samaria oawse giuneei iyo mwu oawgaen maeipin ngaeni; nge aemaem re Jews aei giuneei mane aeigaen maeipin ngaeni, pwe iga menaw na esooar ssiaaenin ina e itto me reer re Jews.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Nge oatona epwe itto ina a fasiun no igeei, reen minna maemaewaen Espritu Santus nge aeremas repwene maeipin ngaeni Deus, nge repwene feeori maeipin kkena e wenewen ina e tipaeni.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.

24Deus ina ngeon, maemaewaen minne epwe mmwen pwe aeremas repwe maeipin ngaeni nge ina epwe noa reen Deus noan minna e wenewen.”God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Rhooapwut we a iura pwe, “Ngaang i giuneei pwe Kristus epwe itto, oatona epwe itto, epwe aengaenigemaem oanongaen aegiaeg.”The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Jesus a paniuwaeni, “Ngaang iiy minne i mwaenieniy ngaeniug.”Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27Oatonaan nge rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun Jesus ra sefaaen, nge iir ra igin riu pwe e mwaenieniy ngaeni erhai rhooapwut. Nge esooar erhai neeiir ne e aeiineow rhooapwut we, “Meeta wo tipaeni?” aere aeiyegiy Jesus pwe, “Meeta wo mwaenieniy ngaeni rhooapwut na reen?”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?”

28Rhooapwut we a nigiti ruumen rhan we aan, nge a sefaaen noa nee aepinoamw, nge a aengaeniir aeremas kkewe ee pwe,Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29“Oaw itto pipiiy mwaaen ee e aengaeniaei oanongaen meeta kkewe i feoffeeori. Oaw maengiy nge iiy minne Kristus?”“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Iwe ra nigiti aepinoamw we nge ra noa reen Jesus.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Noan oatonaan nge rhooan kkayeo kkewe re iyaeffaenipirhe ngaeni Jesus pwe, “Sinsei, angi egiufet meeta!”Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Jesus a paniuwaeni pwe, “Ngaang eyor aenaei mwongo ina aaemi oawse giuneei mmwenen.”But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33Rhooan kkayeo kkewe ra aeiyeg fengaen wooar, “Eyor mwo mane e pweipwog to mwongo reen?”So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Jesus a aengaeniir pwe, “Mwongo na aenaei ina ipwe tapweei tipaen manna efangeto ngaang, pwe ipwe oamoanna noa engaang na e ngaenneaei pwe ipwe feeori.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Eyor eew mwaeniaemi iwe oawgaen iura pwe, ‘Faawu rhag meram nge a oaton gin.’ Nge ipwe aengaenigaemi, oaw pipiiy gacchiuw maat kaan; foat kaan ikka a maaw pwe sipwene giniiy!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.

36Iyo na a giniiy uwaen foat kaan ina a pwigi paniuwaen nge a ioni fengaenniy uwaen foat kaan pwe aegin menaw na esooar ssiaaenin; iwe iyo we efoat me iyo we egin nge repwe kker fengaen.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37Pwe ennetaen kkepas we regaen iura pwe, ‘Erhai epwe foat nge erhai a giniiy uwaan.’For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Iya fangenoa aaemi pwe oawpwe noa giniiy uwaen foat kena soapw foatogiyaemi; aaemweoi minne re engaang ee, nge aaemi oawwa pwigi wenepwuwaen aar engaang.”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.”

39Re towunap re Samaria kkewe reno noan aepinoamw we ra niugiuniug ngaeni Jesus pwe igiwe rhooapwut we e aengaeniir pwe, “E aengaeniaei oanongaen minikkewe iya moannon feoffeeori.”Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Iwe re Samaria kkewe ra itto reen iwe ra aeffaenipirheei pwe epwe notiw reer, iwe Jesus a notiw reer noan riiuraaen.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Repwan towunap rhooakka re niugiuniug pwonno reen miniwe mwaenian,And many more believed because of His message.

42ra aengaeni rhooapwut we pwe, “Aeiya niugiuniug igina, nge saapw igiwe wo aengaenigemaem, pwe iga aemaem wooan oanongaemmaem aeiya rongorong mwaenian, iwe aeiya giuneei pwe iiy miniwe rhooan aemenewa faeinaengiy.”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.”

43Mwirin aan no aegini riiuraaen igiwe, nge Jesus a nigiti iwe a noa Galilee.After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44Pwe iiy wooan oanongan miniwe e iura pwe, “Profeta nge esooar aesirowuur me noan sipegin faniuweer.”Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Oatowe enoa toori Galilee, aeremas ra itto aewenimmwa, pwe igiwe renoa tapweei gupwunon Passover me Jerusalem, nge ra weri oanongaen minikkewe efeeori me reen gupwun we.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.

46Iwe Jesus a sefaaen noa Cana me noan Galilee, pwiuneoi we efeeori rhaan pwe wine. Erhai aeremesaen aam eno ee nge mwaaen na naiun nge e semwaai me noan Capernaum.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.

47Igiwe e rongorong pwe Jesus a itto me Judea pwe epwene noa Galilee, a noa reen nge a aengaeni pwe epwe noa mwo Capernaum pwe epwe noa aecchipwa aetena naiun, pwe epwene oaropaen mae.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.

48Jesus a aengaeni pwe, “Esooar faaen eew ne erhai me neeimi epwe niugiuniug pwe aeggaen igine rhag eweri kkeman me min ariuriu.”Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49Aeremesaen aam we a iura pwe, “Menap, itto tapweaei weni mmwaen aetena naeyi epwe mae noa.”“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Jesus a aengaeni pwe, “Wonoa, aetena noawumw epwene menaw!” Mwaaen we a niugiuniug ngaeni miniwe mwaeniaen Jesus iwe a noa.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51A faaeraeg noa nge a noa rhuungiir slave kkewe nge ra aengaeni pwe, “Aetewe noawumw epwe menaw!”And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52A aeiineeor fitowu konook minne aetewe naiun etakketae. Iwe nge iir ra paniuwaeni pwe, “Epwe eew konook nee oanowesaen naeneew pwe iwe esa pwerhikkar no ginin.”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.”

53Iwe rhag nge miniwe semaen aetewe a maengiy noa pwe ina oatowe Jesus e aengaeni pwe, “Aetewe noawumw epwe menaw.” Iwe iiy me oanongeer rhooan famini we aan ra niugiuniug ngaeni.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.

54A ieei minne oaruwowwaen kkeman Jesus a feeori weni mwirin aan itto me Judea ngaeni Galilee.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
