“Go, call your husband and come back.”
17
ZIN

“Believe Me, woman,”
Jesus replied,
“a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22
ZIN
Íimwe Abasamaria nimumulamya óogwo mutakumusoombookelwa. Náho íichwe Abayahudi nitumulamya óogwo tulikusoombookelwa, habwo kuba obuchuúnguzi bwa abaantu bóona nibwiíza kulabila aha Bayahudi.
BSB
BSB:
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23
ZIN
Náho obuchilo nibwiíza, mále bwaáhikile, óobwo abaantu áabo abalikweenda kumulámya Isíichwe Múungu aha mazima, balaámulamya aha Mwooyo na amazima. Ha bwéecho Isíichwe Múungu naaloondela abaantu nka abo babone kumulamya.
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
ZIN
Múungu no Omwooyo. Abaantu áabo abalikumulámya, ni lwaampaka babe nibamulámya aha Mwooyo na aha mazima.”
BSB
BSB:
God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
25
ZIN
Ogwo mukázi yaámugaambila Yeézu aáti, “Niinsoomboókelwa nka nikwo Masihi naayiza, óogwo alikwéetwa Kristu. Mala niinsoomboókelwa nka nikwo, obuchilo óobwo aleéza, alaátusoomboolela buli chiintu.”
BSB
BSB:
The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
26
ZIN
Niho Yeézu yaámugalulila aáti, “Íinye, óogwo alikuhooya neewe níinye Masihi.”
BSB
BSB:
Jesus answered,
“I who speak to you am He.”
27
ZIN

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
ZIN
Niho, ogwo mukázi aba yaásigaho aho ensúha yoómwe ya améenzi, aba yaátayo kuzeenda omu muzihwa. Kayaahikileyo okwo, yaágaambila abaantu nka nikwo,
BSB
BSB:
Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
29
ZIN
“Tuzeénde, muze kumubona omuuntu óogwo ayaángaambila amagaambo góona áago ndakozile! Ngási, tibyaakuba nka nikwo ogwo niwe Masihi?”
BSB
BSB:
“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
30
ZIN
Obuchilo abaantu bahuliile ago, baásohola kuluga omuli ogwo muzihwa, baamuzaho Yeézu.
BSB
BSB:
So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
31
ZIN
Obuchilo abaantu abo bakaba batakahikile hali Yeézu, abaheémba boómwe bakaba nibamutoozela Yeézu báti, “Mweégesa, noólye echookulya.”
BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32
ZIN
Náho weényini yaábagalulila aáti, “Íinye nnyina echookulya éecho mutakusoombookelwa íimwe.”
BSB
BSB:
But He told them,
“I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33
ZIN
Niho abaheémba boómwe kutaándika kweébuuza báti, “Ngási, heena omuuntu óogwo yaámuléetela ebyookulya?”
BSB
BSB:
So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
34
ZIN
Yeézu yaábagalulila aáti, “Echookulya chaanze no kukola áago alikweenda óogwo akaansiíndika, no kuguhikiiliza omulimo gwoómwe.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus explained,
“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
35
ZIN
Íimwe mumanyiile kugaamba nka nikwo, ‘Haásigeele améezi aána goónka kuhika obuchilo bwi igesa.’ Náho íinye niimbagaambila nka nikwo, muléebe amasaambo óokwo gali, gaáyelize ebyookulya, nágo galiindiliile kwoónka kugeswa.
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
ZIN
Omugesi naabonesa empeéla yoómwe, no okusuumbya ebigesizwe habwo obulami bwo obucha no obuchiile. Bityo, omubíbi no omugesi, bóona nibabona kunulilwa hamo.
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
ZIN
Ha bwéecho gubaho omugani ogwa amazima ogugaamba nka nikwo, ‘Omuuntu oómo abiba, no oóndi agesa.’
BSB
BSB:
For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
38
ZIN
Íinye nkabasiíndika íimwe mubóne kugesa áago mutalayagalaliile. Abaantu abáandi bakaágalala ha kukola emilimo yóona, neemwe nimubonesa omugaso gwe emilimo yáabo.”
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
ZIN
