John 4 (YOR) · Opened

1Àwọn Farisi sì gbọ́ pé, Jesu ni, ó sì ń ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn púpọ̀ ju Johanu lọ.When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

2Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Jesu tìkára rẹ̀ kò ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi bí kò ṣe àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀,(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

3Ó fi Judea sílẹ̀, ó sì tún lọ sí Galili.He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4Òun sì ní láti kọjá láàrín Samaria.Now He had to pass through Samaria.

5Nígbà náà ni ó dé ìlú Samaria kan, tí a ń pè ní Sikari, tí ó súnmọ́ etí ilẹ̀ oko tí Jakọbu ti fi fún Josẹfu, ọmọ rẹ̀.So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6Kànga Jakọbu sì wà níbẹ̀. Nítorí pé ó rẹ Jesu nítorí ìrìn rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó jókòó létí kànga, ó sì jẹ́ ìwọ̀n wákàtí kẹfà ọjọ́.Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7Obìnrin kan, ará Samaria sì wá láti fà omi, Jesu wí fún un pé ṣe ìwọ yóò fún mi ni omi mu.When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

8Nítorí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ti lọ sí ìlú láti lọ ra oúnjẹ.(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9Obìnrin ará Samaria náà sọ fún un pé, “Júù ni ìwọ, obìnrin ará Samaria ni èmi. Èétirí tí ìwọ ń béèrè ohun mímu lọ́wọ́ mi?” (Nítorí tí àwọn Júù kì í bá àwọn ará Samaria ṣe pọ̀.)“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.)

10Jesu dáhùn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé ìwọ mọ ẹ̀bùn Ọlọ́run, àti ẹni tí ó wí fún ọ pé, ‘Fún mi ni omi mu’, ìwọ ìbá sì ti béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, òun ìbá ti fi omi ìyè fún ọ.”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.”

11Obìnrin náà wí fún un pé, “Alàgbà, ìwọ kò ní igbá-ìfami tí ìwọ ó fi fà omi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kànga náà jì, Níbo ni ìwọ ó ti rí omi ìyè náà?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

12Ìwọ pọ̀ ju Jakọbu baba wa lọ bí, ẹni tí ó fún wa ní kànga náà, tí òun tìkára rẹ̀ si mu nínú rẹ̀, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àti àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ̀?”Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

13Jesu dáhùn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá mu nínú omi yìí, òǹgbẹ yóò sì tún gbẹ ẹ́.Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

14Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá mu nínú omi tí èmi ó fi fún un, òǹgbẹ kì yóò gbẹ ẹ́ mọ́ láé; ṣùgbọ́n omi tí èmi ó fi fún un yóò di kànga omi nínú rẹ̀, tí yóò máa sun si ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun.”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.”

15Obìnrin náà sì wí fún u pé, “Alàgbà, fún mi ní omi yìí, kí òǹgbẹ kí ó má ṣe gbẹ mí, kí èmi kí ó má sì wá fa omi níbí mọ́.”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.”

16Jesu wí fún un pé, “Lọ pe ọkọ rẹ, kí ó sì padà wá sí ìhín yìí.”Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17Obìnrin náà dáhùn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Èmi kò ní ọkọ.” Jesu wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ́ dáhùn dáradára pé, èmi kò ní ọkọ:“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

18Nítorí tí ìwọ ti ní ọkọ márùn-ún rí, ọkùnrin tí ìwọ sì ní báyìí kì í ṣe ọkọ rẹ. Ohun tí ó ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sọ tán yìí, òtítọ́ ni.”In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

19Obìnrin náà wí fún un pé, “Alàgbà, mo wòye pé, wòlíì ni ìwọ ń ṣe.“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

20Àwọn baba wa sìn lórí òkè yìí; ẹ̀yin sì wí pé, Jerusalẹmu ni ibi tí ó yẹ tí à bá ti máa sìn.”Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21Jesu wí fún un pé, “Gbà mí gbọ́ obìnrin yìí, àkókò náà ń bọ̀, nígbà tí kì yóò ṣe lórí òkè yìí tàbí ní Jerusalẹmu ni ẹ̀yin ó máa sin Baba.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22Ẹ̀yin ń sin ohun tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀, àwa ń sin ohun tí àwa mọ̀, nítorí ìgbàlà ti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn Júù wá.You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23Ṣùgbọ́n àkókò ń bọ̀, ó sì dé tán nísinsin yìí, nígbà tí àwọn olùsìn tòótọ́ yóò máa sin Baba ní ẹ̀mí àti ní òtítọ́, nítorí irú wọn ni Baba ń wá kí ó máa sin òun.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.

24Ẹ̀mí ni Ọlọ́run: àwọn ẹni tí ń sìn ín kò lè ṣe aláìsìn ín ní Ẹ̀mí àti ní òtítọ́.”God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

25Obìnrin náà wí fún un pé, mo mọ̀ pé, “Messia ń bọ̀ wá, tí a ń pè ní Kristi, nígbà tí Òun bá dé, yóò sọ ohun gbogbo fún wa.”The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

26Jesu sọ ọ́ di mí mọ̀ fún un pé, “Èmi ẹni tí ń bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀ yìí ni Òun.”Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27Lákokò yí ni àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ dé, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n pé ó ń bá obìnrin sọ̀rọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó wí pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ń wá?” tàbí “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń bá a sọ̀rọ̀?”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?”

28Nígbà náà ni obìnrin náà fi ládugbó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì mú ọ̀nà rẹ̀ pọ̀n lọ sí ìlú, ó sì wí fún àwọn ènìyàn pé,Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29“Ẹ wá wò ọkùnrin kan, ẹni tí ó sọ ohun gbogbo tí mo ti ṣe rí fún mi, èyí ha lè jẹ́ Kristi náà?”“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Nígbà náà ni wọ́n ti ìlú jáde, wọ́n sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

31Láàrín èyí, àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ń rọ̀ ọ́ wí pé, “Rabbi, jẹun.”Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi ní oúnjẹ láti jẹ, tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀.”But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33Nítorí náà ni àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ń bi ara wọn lérè wí pé, “Ẹnìkan mú oúnjẹ fún un wá láti jẹ bí?”So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

34Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Oúnjẹ mi ni láti ṣe ìfẹ́ ẹni tí ó rán mi, àti láti parí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

35Ẹ̀yin kò ha wí pé, ‘Ó ku oṣù mẹ́rin, ìkórè yóò sì dé?’ wò ó, mo wí fún un yín, Ẹ ṣí ojú yín sókè, kí ẹ sì wo oko; nítorí tí wọn ti pọ́n fún ìkórè.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.

36Kódà báyìí, ẹni tí ó ń kórè ń gba owó ọ̀yà rẹ̀, ó si ń kó èso jọ sí ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun, kí ẹni tí ó ń fúnrúgbìn àti ẹni tí ń kórè lè jọ máa yọ̀ pọ̀.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

37Nítorí nínú èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ náà fi jẹ́ òtítọ́, ‘Ẹnìkan ni ó fúnrúgbìn, ẹlòmíràn ni ó sì ń kórè jọ.’For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

38Mo rán yín lọ kórè ohun tí ẹ kò ṣiṣẹ́ fún. Àwọn ẹlòmíràn ti ṣiṣẹ́, ẹ̀yin sì kórè èrè làálàá wọn.”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.”

39Ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ará Samaria láti ìlú náà wá sì gbà á gbọ́ nítorí ìjẹ́rìí obìnrin náà pé, “Ó sọ gbogbo ohun tí mo ti ṣe fún mi.”Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40Nítorí náà, nígbà tí àwọn ará Samaria wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n rọ̀ ọ́ pé, kí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn, ó sì dúró fún ọjọ́ méjì.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

41Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sì gbàgbọ́ sí i nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀.And many more believed because of His message.

42Wọ́n sì wí fún obìnrin náà pé, “Kì í ṣe nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ nìkan ni àwa ṣe gbàgbọ́, nítorí tí àwa tìkára wa ti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, àwa sì mọ̀ pé, nítòótọ́ èyí ni Kristi náà, Olùgbàlà aráyé.”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.”

43Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ méjì ó sì ti ibẹ̀ kúrò, ó lọ sí Galili.After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

44Nítorí Jesu tìkára rẹ̀ ti jẹ́rìí wí pé, Wòlíì kì í ní ọlá ní ilẹ̀ òun tìkára rẹ̀.Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

45Nítorí náà nígbà tí ó dé Galili, àwọn ará Galili gbà á, nítorí ti wọ́n ti rí ohun gbogbo tí ó ṣe ní Jerusalẹmu nígbà àjọ ìrékọjá; nítorí àwọn tìkára wọn lọ sí àjọ pẹ̀lú.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.

46Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jesu tún wá sí Kana ti Galili, níbi tí ó gbé sọ omi di wáìnì. Ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá kan sì wá, ẹni tí ara ọmọ rẹ̀ kò dá ní Kapernaumu.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.

47Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ pé Jesu ti Judea wá sí Galili, ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó sì ń bẹ̀ ẹ́, kí ó lè sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá kí ó mú ọmọ òun láradá: nítorí tí ó wà ní ojú ikú.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.

48Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí fún un pé, “Bí kò ṣe pé ẹ̀yin bá rí àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu, ẹ̀yin kì yóò gbàgbọ́ láé.”Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

49Ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá náà wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá kí ọmọ mi tó kú.”“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

50Jesu wí fún un pé, “Máa bá ọ̀nà rẹ lọ; ọmọ rẹ yóò yè.” Ọkùnrin náà sì gba ọ̀rọ̀ Jesu gbọ́, ó sì kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

51Bí ó sì ti ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pàdé rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, ọmọ rẹ ti yè.And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

52Nígbà náà ni ó béèrè wákàtí tí ara rẹ̀ bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í yá lọ́wọ́ wọn, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Ní àná, ní wákàtí keje ni ibà náà fi í sílẹ̀.”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.”

53Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni baba náà mọ̀ pé ní wákàtí kan náà ni, nínú èyí tí Jesu wí fún un pé “Ọmọ rẹ̀ yè.” Òun tìkára rẹ̀ sì gbàgbọ́, àti gbogbo ilé rẹ̀.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.

54Èyí ni iṣẹ́ àmì kejì tí Jesu ṣe nígbà tí ó ti Judea jáde wá sí Galili.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
