JOAN 4

Jesus eta emakume samariarra

1 Jakin zuten fariseuek Joanek baino ikasle gehiago egin eta jende gehiago bataiatzen zuela Jesusek,t 2 nahiz eta bataiatu, ez zuen Jesusek berak bataiatzen, haren ikasleek baino.

3 Jesus, hori jakitean, Judea utzi eta Galileara joan zen berriro.
4 Bere ibilbidean Samarian zehar iragan beharra zuen.t 5 Iritsi zen, bada, Sikar izeneko Samariako hirira, antzina Jakobek bere seme Joseri ondaretzat emaniko lursailetik hurbil.t 6 Han zegoen Jakoben putzua delakoa. Jesus, bideaz nekaturik, putzu-ertzean eseri zen. Eguerdi ingurua zen.t

7-8 Ikasleak hirira joanak ziren janaria erostera. Hortan, Samariako emakume bat etorri zen putzura ur bila. Jesusek esan zion:
—Emadazu edaten.

9 Orduan, emakume samariarrak esan zion:
—Nola zuk, judu izanik, eskatzen didazu edatekoa niri, samariar naizen honi? (Jakin behar da juduek eta samariarrekt ez dutela elkarrekin harremanik).t

10 Jesusek erantzun zion:
—Jainkoak ematen duena ezagutuko eta edatekoa nork eskatzen dizun jakingo bazenu, zeuk eskatuko zenioke berari, eta hark ur biziat emango lizuke.t

11 Emakumeak esan zion:
—Jauna, ez daukazu ura zerez atera, eta putzua sakona da. Nondik aterako duzu, beraz, ur bizi hori?

12 Geure aita Jakobek utzi zigun putzu hau eta bertatik edan zuten berak, beraren seme-alabek eta abereek. Hura baino handiagoa al zara zu?t

13 Jesusek ihardetsi zion:
—Ur honetatik edaten duena berriro ere egarri izango da;

14 nik emango diodan uretik edango duena, ordea, ez da sekula egarri izango; zeren nik emango diodan ura betiko bizia darion iturburu bihurtuko baitzaio barruan.t

15 Orduan, emakumeak:
—Jauna, emadazu ur horretatik, berriro egarri ez nadin, eta hona uretara etorri beharrik izan ez dezadan.

16 Jesusek esan zion:
—Zoaz etxera, dei egiozu zeure senarrari eta itzuli hona.

17 Emakumeak erantzun:
—Ez dut senarrik.
Eta Jesusek:
—Ongi diozu ez duzula senarrik;

18 bost izan dituzu, eta oraingoa ez duzu senarra; horretan egia diozu.

19 Emakumeak esan zion:
—Jauna, profeta zarela ikusten dut.t

20 Gure gurasoek mendi honetant eman zioten kultu Jainkoari; zuek, juduok, berriz, Jerusalemen eman behar zaiola diozue.t

21 Jesusek esan zion:
—Sinets iezadazu, emakume: badator ordua, ez mendi honetan, ez Jerusalemen, Aita adoratuko ez duzuena. 22 Zuek, samariarrok, ez dakizue zer adoratzen duzuen; guk badakigu zer adoratzen dugun, salbamena juduongandik baitator.t 23 Baina badator ordua —hobeto esan, heldu da—, egiazko adoratzaileek Aita egiaren arabera eta Espirituak eraginda adoratuko dutena; horrela adora dezaten nahi du Aitak.

24 Jainkoa Espiritu da, eta hura adoratzen dutenek egiaren arabera eta Espirituak eraginda adoratu behar dute.t

25 Emakumeak esan zion:
—Badakit Mesias, Kristo alegia, etortzekoa dela, eta hark, etortzean, gauza guztiak agertuko dizkigula.t

26 Jesusek esan zion:
—Neu naiz, zurekin mintzo naizen hau.t

27 Une hartan ikasleak iritsi eta harritu egin ziren Jesus emakume batekin hizketan ari zela ikustean; halere, inor ez zen ausartu galdetzera zer nahi zuen edo zertaz ziharduen emakumearekin.
28 Emakumeak suila utzi, hirira itzuli eta esan zion jendeari:

29 «Zatozte egin dudan guztia esan didan gizon bat ikustera. Ez ote da bera Mesias izango?»t

30 Jendea hiritik irten eta Jesusengana joan zen.

31 Bien bitartean, erreguka ari zitzaizkion ikasleak, esanez:
—Maisu, jan zerbait.

32 Baina berak esan zien:
—Badut nik beste janari bat, zuek ez dakizuena.

33 Ikasleek galdetu zioten elkarri:
—Norbaitek ekarri ote dio jatekoa?

34 Jesusek esan zien:
—Nire janaria, bidali nauenaren nahia egitea da, haren salbamen-egintza burutu arte.t 35 Ez al duzue esaten zuek: «Lau hilabete barru uztaroa dugu?» Horra, bada, nik esan: Jaso begiak eta ikusi gari-soroak, uztarako horituak.t 36 Dagoeneko igitaria bere saria hartzen ari da, eta betiko bizirako fruitua jasotzen, nola ereilea, hala igitaria, biak poz daitezen. 37 Honetan bai betetzen dela esaera: «Batek erein, bestek uzta bildu».t

38 Zeuek landu ez duzuena biltzera bidali zaituztet nik; besteak nekatu dira lanean, eta zuek jasotzen duzue haien nekearen fruitua.

Samariarrek Jesusengan sinetsi

39 Hiri hartako samariar askok sinetsi zuen Jesusengan emakumeak emandako testigantzagatik: «Egin dudan guztia esan dit».
40 Beraz, samariarrek, Jesusengana etorri zirenean, beraiekin gelditzeko eskatu zioten Jesusi, eta bi egunez egon zen han. 41 Jesusen mezua entzutean, askoz gehiagok sinetsi zuten,

42 eta emakumeari esaten zioten: «Orain ez dugu zure esanarengatik bakarrik sinesten; geuk entzun dugu, eta badakigu, egiaz hauxe dela munduaren Salbatzailea».t

Jesusek funtzionarioaren semea sendatu

(Mt 8,5-13; Lk 7,1-10)

45 Halere, Galileara iritsi zenean, galilearrek harrera ona egin zioten. Izan ere, Jerusalemen izanak ziren beraiek ere Pazko-jaietan, eta ikusia zuten Jesusek orduan egindako guztia.t
46 Jesus Galileako Kanara joan zen berriro, ura ardo bihurtu zuen herrira. Bazen han errege-funtzionario bat, semea Kafarnaumen gaixorik zuena.t t 47 Funtzionarioak, Jesus Judeatik Galileara heldu zela jakitean, harengana jo eta bere semea sendatzera Kafarnaumera jaisteko eskatu zion, hilzorian zegoela eta.

48 Jesusek erantzun zion:
—Mirariak eta egintza harrigarriak ikusten ez badituzue, ez duzue sinesten.t

49 Baina errege-funtzionarioak, berriro:
—Jauna, zatoz, arren, nire haurra hil baino lehen.

50 Jesusek esan zion:
—Zoaz etxera, semea onik duzu eta.
Gizonak sinetsi egin zuen Jesusek esandakoa eta joan egin zen.
51 Etxera bidean, morroiak atera zitzaizkion bere semea onik zuela esatera.

52 Orduan, oneratzen zer ordutan hasi zen galdegin zien. Eta haiek erantzun:
—Atzo eguerdiko ordu batean alde egin zion sukarrak.

53 Ohartu zen aita ordu hartan esan ziola Jesusek: «Onik duzu semea», eta sinetsi egin zuten Jesusengan berak eta etxeko guztiek.t
54 Bigarren mirarizko seinale hau Judeatik Galileara itzultzean egin zuen Jesusek.t

John 4

Departure From Judea

1 Now when Jesusst knew that the Phariseess had heard that het was winningt and baptizing more disciples than John2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),s

3 he left Judea and set out once more for Galilee.s

Conversation With a Samaritan Woman

4 But he hads to pass through Samaria.s5 Now he came to a Samaritan townt called Sychar,s near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.s

6 Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down besidet the well. It was about noon.ts
7 A Samaritan womant came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me some watert to drink.”8 (For his disciples had gone off into the town to buy supplies.t)s

9 So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How can you – a Jewt – ask me, a Samaritan woman, for watert to drink?” (For Jews use nothing in commonts with Samaritans.)s
10 Jesus answeredt her, “If you had knownt the gift of God and who it is who said to you, ‘Give me some watert to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”ts11 “Sir,”t the womans said to him, “you have no bucket and the wellt is deep; where then do you get thist living water?s

12 Surely you’re not greater than our ancestort Jacob, are you? For he gave us this well and drank from it himself, along with his sons and his livestock.”t
13 Jesus replied,t “Everyone who drinks some of this water will be thirstyt again.14 But whoever drinks some of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again,t but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountaint of water springing upt to eternal life.”15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to drawt water.”t16 Hess said to her, “Go call your husband and come back here.”t17 The woman replied,t “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Right you are when you said,t ‘I have no husband,’t

18 for you have had five husbands, and the man you are living witht now is not your husband. This you said truthfully!”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I seet that you are a prophet.20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain,s and you peoplet say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.”s21 Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman,s a timet is coming when you will worshipt the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.22 You peoplet worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.t23 But a timet is coming – and now is heret – when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seekss such people to bet his worshipers.ts24 God is spirit,t and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (the one called Christ);ts “whenever het comes, he will tellt us everything.”t

26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am he.”

The Disciples Return

27 Now at that very moment his disciples came back.t They were shockedt because he was speakingt with a woman. However, no one said, “What do you want?”ts or “Why are you speaking with her?”28 Then the woman left her water jar, went off into the town and said to the people,t29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Surely he can’t be the Messiah,t can he?”t

30 Sot they left the town and began comings to him.

Workers for the Harvest

31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him,t “Rabbi, eat something.”t32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”33 So the disciples began to sayt to one another, “No one brought him anythingt to eat, did they?”t34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent mes and to completet his work.ts35 Don’t you say,t ‘There are four more months and then comes the harvest?’ I tell you, look upt and see that the fields are already whitet for harvest!36 The one who reaps receives payt and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.37 For in this instance the saying is true,t ‘One sows and another reaps.’

38 I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”

The Samaritans Respond

39 Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the report of the woman who testified,t “He told me everything I ever did.”40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they began askingt him to stay with them.t He stayed there two days,41 and because of his word many moret believed.

42 They said to the woman, “No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this onet really is the Savior of the world.”s

Onward to Galilee

43 After the two days he departed from there to Galilee.44 (For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)s

45 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him because they had seen all the things he had done in Jerusalemss at the feasts (for they themselves had gone to the feast).s

Healing the Royal Official’s Son

46 Now he came again to Canas in Galilee where he had made the water wine.s Int Capernaumss there was a certain royal officialt whose son was sick.47 When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged himt to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.48 So Jesus said to him, “Unless you peoplet see signs and wonders you will never believe!”t49 “Sir,” the official said to him, “come down before my child dies.”

50 Jesus told him, “Go home;t your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and set off for home.t
51 While he was on his way down,s his slavest met him and told him that his son was going to live.52 So he asked them the timet when his condition began to improve,t andt they told him, “Yesterday at one o’clock in the afternoont the fever left him.”53 Then the father realized that it was the very timet Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he himself believed along with his entire household.

54 Jesus did this as his second miraculous signt when he returned from Judea to Galilee.
