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.)

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
YNS
Apan, un'kaar kàtɛn a nde naa: « Mwol, mpɛ an'dà ma, ntɔn mɛ in'kɔ̈ɔ̈n afàsàwem mfwää a an'dà, waa mɛ mpa in'fàsàyà mutɛɛ an'dà apà. »

BSB
BSB:
“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her,
“You are correct to say that you have no husband.
18
YNS
Ngye kàkäl abà adim atyeen, baal awà ngye awà apanà, kà wà un'dim angye anki. Abun, ngye an'tɛn ndandaa. »
BSB
BSB:
In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

“Believe Me, woman,”
Jesus replied,
“a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22
YNS
Bɛ, Asamàlya, bɛ làfàkömà Nzam mpa làyöb bɛ. Bi, Ayudà, bi ifàkömà Nzam iyöb bi, ntɔn mɔ̈ɔ̈ afàyà u mbwo a Ayudà.
BSB
BSB:
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

YNS
Wɛɛ taaŋ làmuyà, la sye lan'yà, mpal aŋankömà a ndandaa bàsakömà ba Taa u Dweelà anà u ndandaa, ba bà aŋankömà ufàleŋ Taa.
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
YNS
Nzam wà Dweelà, kyakin baar bàfun'kömà bun'kömà unsà dweelà anà unsà ndandaa. »
BSB

Yɛsu kun'fuur naa: « Mɛ, mɛ in'wà nde, mɛ mbuur in'yäämà wà anà ngye. »
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered,
“I who speak to you am He.”

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
YNS
Apan, un'kaar kàsàwɔm làbuuŋ ande paa, waa kàkyen bul, waa kàtɛn a baar naa:
BSB
BSB:
Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
29
YNS
« Yàlamɛn mbuur mwɛy kan'tɛn a mɛ indiir byanswà kàkyer mɛ. Nkye nde kà wà Klistɔ anki? »
BSB
BSB:
“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
30
YNS
Kyakin bàtoo ba u bul, bàyi ba mper akà nde.
BSB
BSB:
So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
31
YNS
Apan sye, alɔŋki bun'siinà naa: « Rabi, dyà! »
BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32
YNS
Wɛɛ nde kàtɛn a ba naa: « Mɛ, mɛ in'we anà isaa adyà, isaa mpa làyöb bɛ. »
BSB
BSB:
But He told them,
“I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33
YNS
Kyakin alɔŋki bàtɛɛnà ba, ba a ba naa: « Nkye ikyàkal naa mbuur mwɛy kun'twääl isaa adyà? »
BSB
BSB:
So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
34
YNS
Yɛsu kàtɛn a ba naa: « Isaa adyà amɛ, byà ntɔn mukyer ukwen a mbuur kan'töm anà mukwey isal ande.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus explained,
“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

Bɛ, nkye bɛ làfàtɛn anki bɛ ŋakwo naa: "Yan'sal nsöŋ nà mubwo isaa." Wɛɛ mɛ, mɛ alàkyään naa làduub mii abɛ, anà làler an'ywaŋ: mbɛŋ yan'söŋ anà yan'kwo mubwo!
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
YNS
Un'bweel kan'wal làfur ande itaan anà kan'böbà mbɛŋ ntɔn mɔ̈ɔ̈ a mbul a in'tye, ntɔn mbuur kan'kɔn anà mbuur kan'bwo, bàmɛn un'sak ba bàbɔ̈ɔ̈l.
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
YNS
Abà, un'sim afàtɛn ndandaa naa: "Umwɛy afàkɔn, umwɛy afàbwo."
BSB
BSB:
For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
38
YNS
Mɛ, mɛ kàlatöm mukàbwo mbɛŋ làkɔ̈ɔ̈n aman bɛ mpay, baar asin bàsöön mwäänà. Wɛɛ bɛ, bɛ lan'bilà unsà bweel a isal aba. »

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.”
