JOHANE 4

Jesu fa sedibeng sa ga Jakobe kwa Samaria

1 E rile Morena a lemoga gore Bafarisai ba utlwile go twe, Jesu o dira barutwa ba le bantsi, e bile o kolobetsa bogolo go Johane,t 2 – le fa Jesu ka esi a ne a sa kolobetse, mme e le barutwa ba gagwe – 3 a tloga mo Jutea, a ba a boela kwa Galelea.

4 Mme o ne a tshwanetse go ralala Samaria.
5 Jaanong a fitlha kwa motseng mongwe wa Samaria o o bidiwang Sigare, gaufi le tshimo e Jakobe a neng a e file Josefa morwawe.t

6 Foo ga bo go le sediba sa ga Jakobe. Jaanong ya re ka Jesu a lapisitswe ke leeto, a nna fa sedibeng, e ne e ka nna ka nako ya motshegare.
7 Ga tla mosadi wa Samaria go ga metsi. Jesu a mo raya a re: “Mphe ke nwe!”

8 Gonne barutwa ba gagwe ba ne ba ile kwa motseng go reka dijo.

9 Jaanong mosadi wa Mosamaria a mo raya a re: “Wena yo o leng Mojuta o ka kopa jang metsi mo go nna ke le mosadi wa Mosamaria?” A re jalo ka gonne Bajuta ba ne ba sa tsalane le Basamaria.

10 Jesu a mo araba a re: “Fa ò ka bo o itse neo ya Modimo le gore ke mang yo o go rayang a re: Mphe ke nwe! ke wena o ka bong o mo kopile, mme a ka bo a go naya metsi a a phelang.”t
11 Mosadi a mo raya a re: “Morena, ga o na segelelo, mme sediba se boteng; metsi a a phelang o ka a tsaya kae?

12 A o mogolo go rraetsho Jakobe yo o re neileng sediba se, yo o neng a nwa mo go sona ka esi le bomorwawe le diruiwa tsa gagwe?”
13 Jesu a mo fetola a re: “Mongwe le mongwe yo o nwang metse a, o tla nyorwa gape;t

14 mme yo o ka nwang metsi a nna ke tla a mo nayang, ga a ka ke a tlhola a nyorwa ka bosenabokhutlo; mme metsi a ke tla a mo nayang a tla nna motswedi mo go ene o o elelang go isa bophelong jo bo sa khutleng.”t

15 Mosadi a mo raya a re: “Morena, a o ko o mphe metsi ao, gore ke se tlhole ke nyorwa, le e seng go tla kwano go ga.”

16 Jesu a mo raya a re: “Yaa o bitse monna wa gago, lo tle kwano!”

17 Mosadi a fetola a re: “Ga ke na monna.”
Jesu a mo raya a re: “O buile sentle, fa o re, ga o na monna;

18 gonne ke banna ba batlhano ba ba neng ba go nyala, mme yo ò nang nae kajeno ga se monna wa gago; moo o buile nnete.”
19 Mosadi a mo raya a re: “Morena, ke lemoga gore o moporofeti.

20 Borraetsho ba ne ba obamela mo thabeng e, mme lona lo a re: Jerusalema ke felogosi fa go tshwanetseng ga obamelwa teng.”t
21 Jesu a mo raya a re: “Mosadi, o ntumele, nako e e tla e lo se kitlang lo obamela Rara ka yona mo thabeng e, le fa e le kwa Jerusalema. 22 Lona lo obamela se lo sa se itseng; rona re obamela se re se itseng; gonne pholoso e tswa mo Bajuteng.t 23 Mme nako e e tla, le jaanong e setse e tsile, e baobamedi ba nnete ba tla obamelang Rara ka yona ka Mowa le ka boammaaruri; gonne Rara o batla baobamedi ba ba ntseng jalo.

24 Modimo ke Mowa; mme ba ba o obamelang ba tshwanetse go o obamela ka Mowa le ka boammaaruri.”t

25 Mosadi a mo raya a re: “Ke itse gore Mesia yo o bidiwang Keresete o e tla; e tla re a sena go tla, a re bolelele dilo tsotlhe.”t

26 Jesu a mo raya a re: “Ke nna yo ke buang nao.”t

27 Ke fa barutwa ba gagwe ba tla; mme ba gakgamala, ka a bua le mosadi. Le fa go ntse jalo ga se ka ga nna ope yo o reng: “Ò batlang?” gongwe go Jesu: “O buelang nae?”
28 Jaanong mosadi a tlogela nkgwana ya gagwe, a ya kwa motseng, a raya batho a re: 29 “Tlaang lo bone motho yo o mpoleletseng tsotlhe tse ke di dirileng; a jaana ga se ene Keresete?”

30 Ba tswa mo motseng, ba tla go ene.

31 Barutwa ba sala ba mo rapela ba re: “Moruti, a o ko o je!”

32 Ene a ba raya a re: “Ke na le sejo se ke se jang, se lo sa se itseng.”t

33 Jaanong barutwa ba botsanya ba re: “A mongwe o mo tsiseditse dijo?”
34 Jesu a ba raya a re: “Sejo sa me ke go dira thato ya yo o nthomileng le go wetsa tiro ya gagwe.t 35 A ga lo re: ‘Go setse dikgwedi tse nne go ya thobong’? Bonang, ke lo raya ke re: Tsholetsang matlho, lo lebe masimo; gonne a setse a sweufaletse thobo.t 36 Yo o robang o amogela tuelo, mme leungo o le phuthela bophelo jo bo sa khutleng, gore yo o jwalang a itumele mmogo le yo o robang. 37 Gonne fano lefoko le le reng: ‘Mongwe o a jwala, yo mongwe o a roba,’ ke la nnete.

38 Ke lo romile go roba fa lo ne lo sa dira teng; go dirile ba bangwe, mme lona lo tsenye mo tirong tsa bone.”
39 Basamaria ba bantsi ba motse oo ba dumela mo go ene ka ntlha ya lefoko la mosadi yo o supileng a re: “O mpoleletse tsotlhe tse ke di dirileng.”

40 E rile jaanong Basamaria ba tla go ene, ba mo rapela gore a tlhole nabo. A tlhola teng malatsi a le mabedi.
41 Ga ba ga dumela ba bantsi go feta ba pele ka ntlha ya lefoko la gagwe.

42 Ba raya mosadi ba re: “Jaanong ga re tlhole re dumela ka ntlha ya polelo ya gago; gonne rona ka rosi re mo ikutlwetse, mme re itse gore ke ene Keresete tota, Mopholosi wa lefatshe.”

Jesu o mo Galelea. Phodiso ya morwa tona ya kgosi

45 E rile jaanong a fitlha kwa Galelea, Bagalelea ba mo tshola, ka ba bonye tsotlhe tse a di dirileng kwa Jerusalema mo moletlong; gonne le bone ba ne ba ile moletlong.t
46 Jaanong Jesu a fitlha gape kwa Kana wa Galelea, kwa a kileng a fetola metsi weine teng. Ga bo go le tona ya kgosi, e morwaa-yona a neng a lwala kwa Kaperenaume.t 47 E rile ene a utlwa gore Jesu o dule kwa Jutea, mme o tsile kwa Galelea, a ya go ene, a mo rapela gore a tle go fodisa morwawe; gonne o ne a le gaufi le go swa.

48 Jaanong Jesu a mo raya a re: “Fa lo sa bone ditshupo le dikgakgamatso, ga lo dumele ka gope.”t

49 Tona ya mo raya ya re: “Morena, a o ko o tle, ngwanake a ise a swe.”

50 Jesu a mo raya a re: “Tsamaya, morwao o phedile.”
Motho yoo a dumela lefoko le Jesu a le mo rayang, a ba a tsamaya.

51 Ya re a sa ntse a le mo tseleng, batlhanka ba gagwe ba mo kgatlhantsha, ba mmolelela gore morwawe o phedile.
52 Foo a ba botsa nako e o fodileng ka yona. Ke fa ba mo raya ba re: “E rile maabane ka nako ya motshegare go fisa ga mo tlogela.”

53 Jaanong rraagwe a lemoga gore ke yona nako e Jesu a mo reileng ka yona a re: “Morwao o phedile.” Mme a dumela le ba lapa la gagwe botlhe.
54 Sesupo seo ke sa bobedi se Jesu o se dirileng, a sena go tswa kwa Jutea, a ya kwa Galelea.t

John 4

1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),3 he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:6 and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)10 Jesus answered and said unto unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:14 but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.27 And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,29 Come, see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ?30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat?34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.36 He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.39 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I did.40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.41 And many more believed because of his word;42 and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.46 He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
