1When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
1Pea ko ia, ʻi he ʻilo ʻe he ʻEiki kuo fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻoku ului pea papitaiso ʻe Sisu ʻae kau ākonga tokolahi ʻia Sione,
2(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),
2(Ka naʻe ʻikai fai papitaiso ʻe Sisu, ka ko ʻene kau ākonga,)
3He left Judea and returned to Galilee.
3Naʻe mahuʻi ia mei Siutea, pea toe ʻalu ki Kāleli.
4Now He had to pass through Samaria.
4Pea naʻe totonu ke ʻalu atu ʻi Samēlia.
5So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
5Pea hoko ia ki ha kolo ʻo Samēlia, naʻe ui ko Saika, ʻo ofi ki he potu fonua naʻe foaki ʻe Sēkope ki hono foha ko Siosefa.
6Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
6Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae vai keli ʻo Sēkope. Pea kuo hela ʻa Sisu ʻi he fononga, pea nofo ia ʻi he ngutu vai: pea ko hono ono nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
7When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
7Mo ʻene ʻalu ange ha fefine Samēlia ke ʻutu vai: pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Foaki mai kiate au ke u inu.”
8(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
8(He kuo ʻalu ʻene kau ākonga ki he kolo ke fakatau meʻakai.)
9“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.)
9Pea pehēange ʻe he fefine Samēlia kiate ia, “Ko e Siu koe, pea ʻoku fēfeeʻi hoʻo tala inu kiate au, ko e fefine Samēlia?” He ʻoku ʻikai feʻofoʻofani ʻae kakai Siu mo e kakai Samēlia.
10Jesus 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.”
10Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ka ne ke ʻilo ʻe koe ʻae foaki ʻae ʻOtua, pea mo ia ʻoku pehē kiate koe, Foaki mai kiate au ke u inu; pehē, kuo ke kole kiate ia, ka ne foaki kiate koe ʻae vai moʻui.”
11“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?
11Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai haʻo meʻa ke ʻutu ʻaki, pea ʻoku māʻulalo ʻae vai: pea ʻoku ke maʻu mei fē ʻae vai moʻui ko ia?
12Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”
12ʻOku ke lahi koe ʻi heʻemau tamai ko Sēkope, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻae vai kiate kimautolu, pea naʻe inu ai ia, mo ʻene fānau, mo ʻene fanga manu?”
13Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
13Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko ia ʻoku inu ʻi he vai ni, ʻe toe fieinu ia:
14But 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.”
14Ka ko ia ʻe inu ʻi he vai te u foaki kiate ia, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toe fieinu ia; ka ko e vai te u foaki kiate ia ʻe ʻiate ia ko e matavai mapunopuna hake ki he moʻui taʻengata.”
15The 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.”
15Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻEiki, foaki mai ʻae vai ni kiate au, ke ʻoua naʻaku fieinu pe haʻu ki heni ke ʻutu.”
16Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
16Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo ui ho husepāniti, pea haʻu ki heni.”
17“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.
17Pea leaange ʻae fefine, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai haku husepāniti.” Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku moʻoni hoʻo lea, ʻOku ʻikai haku husepāniti:
18In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
18He naʻa ke maʻu ʻae husepāniti ʻe toko nima; pea ko ia ʻoku ke maʻu ni, ʻoku ʻikai ko ho husepāniti: he meʻa ko ia kuo ke lea moʻoni.”
19“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
19Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo u ʻilo ni ko e palōfita ʻa koe.
20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
20Naʻe hū ʻemau ngaahi tamai ʻi he moʻunga ko eni; ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu, ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema ʻae potu ʻoku totonu ke fai ai ʻe he kakai ʻae hū.”
21“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
21Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Fefine, tui mai kiate au, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, ʻe ʻikai te mou hū ai ki he Tamai ʻi he moʻunga ni, pē ʻi Selūsalema.
22You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
22ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mou hū ki ai: ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mau hū ki ai: he ʻoku mei he kakai Siu ʻae fakamoʻui.
23But 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.
23Ka ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, pea kuo hoko ni, ʻe hū ai ki he Tamai ʻae kakai hū moʻoni ʻi he laumalie mo e mo'oni: he 'oku kumi 'e he Tamai ʻae kakai pehē ke hū kiate ia.
24God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
24Ko e ʻOtua ko e Laumālie: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku hū kiate ia, ʻoku totonu ke hū ʻi he laumālie mo e moʻoni.”
25The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
25Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku haʻu ʻae Misaia (ʻoku ui ko Kalaisi): pea ka haʻu ia, te ne fakahā ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimautolu.”
26Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
26Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko au ia ʻoku ou lea kiate koe.”
27Just 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?”
27¶ Pea feʻunga mo ia, kuo haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau ofo ʻi heʻene talanoa mo e fefine: ka naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe ha taha, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kumi?” pē, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke talanoa ai mo ia?”
28Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
28“Pea naʻe tuku ʻe he fefine ʻene hina vai, pea ʻalu ki he kolo, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai,
29“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
29“Haʻu, ʻo mamata ki he tangata, kuo ne tala kiate au ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fai: ko e Kalaisi eni pe ʻikai?”
30So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
30Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ai mei he kolo, ʻo haʻu kiate ia.
31Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
31¶ Pea lolotonga ia, naʻe fakakolekole ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Lāpai, ke ke kai.”
32But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
32Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ai ʻeku meʻa ke kai ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻiloa.”
33So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
33Ko ia naʻe fepehēʻaki ai ʻae kau ākonga, “Kuo ʻomi ʻe ha tangata haʻane meʻa ke kai?”
34Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
34Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku meʻakai ko e fai ʻae loto ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau au, pea fakaʻosi ʻene ngāue.
35Do 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.
35ʻIkai ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Ko e māhina ʻe fā, pea hoko ʻae ututaʻu?’ Vakai, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Hanga hake homou mata, ʻo vakai ki he ngaahi ngoue; he ʻoku hina ia ki he ututaʻu.
36Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.
36Pea ko ia ʻoku tuʻusi ʻoku maʻu ʻae totongi ʻo ne tānaki ʻae fua ki he moʻui taʻengata: koeʻuhi ke fiefia fakataha ʻaia ʻoku tūtuuʻi mo ia ʻoku tuʻusi.
37For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
37Pea ʻi he meʻa ni ʻoku moʻoni ai ʻae tala ko ia, ‘ʻOku tūtuuʻi ʻe he tokotaha, kae tuʻusi ʻe ha taha kehe.’
38I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”
38Naʻaku fekau ʻakimoutolu ke tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ngāue ki ai: naʻe ngāue ʻae kau tangata kehe, pea ʻoku mou maʻu ʻenau ngāue.”
39Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
39¶ Pea naʻe tui kiate ia ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kakai Samēlia, ʻi he kolo ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he lea ʻae fefine, ʻi heʻene pehē, “Naʻa ne tala kiate au ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fai.”
40So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
40Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻae kakai Samēlia kiate ia, naʻa nau fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne nofo mo kinautolu: pea naʻe nofo ai ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ua.
41And many more believed because of His message.
41Pea tui ʻae tokolahi kehe ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lea ʻaʻana;
42They 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.”
42ʻO nau pehē ki he fefine, “Ko eni ʻoku mau tui, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoʻo lea: he kuo mau fanongo ʻekimautolu, pea mau ʻilo ko e Kalaisi moʻoni eni, ko e Fakamoʻui ʻo māmani.”
43After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
43¶ Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ua, naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai, ʻo fononga ki Kāleli.
44Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
44“Ka naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe Sisu, ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa ʻi hono fonua.”
45Yet 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.
45Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki Kāleli, naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he kakai Kāleli, he naʻa nau mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he kātoanga: he naʻa nau ʻalu foki ki he kātoanga.
46So 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.
46Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Kena ʻo Kāleli, naʻa ne liliu ai ʻae vai ko e uaine. Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻeiki naʻe mahaki hono foha ʻi Kapaneume.
47When 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.
47Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo kuo haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Siutea ki Kāleli, ne ne ʻalu ki ai, ʻo ne fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne ʻalu hifo, ʻo fakamoʻui hono foha: he kuo ofi ʻene mate.
48Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
48Pea tala ʻe Sisu, kiate ia, “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou mamata ki he ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e meʻa fakaofo, ʻe ʻikai te mou tui.”
49“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
49Pea talaange ʻe he tangataʻeiki kiate ia, ʻEiki, keta ō hifo, naʻa mate hoku foha.
50“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.
50Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe ʻoku moʻui ho foha.” Pea tui ʻae tangata ki he lea kuo lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu kiate ia, pea ʻalu ia.
51And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
51Pea ʻi heʻene kei ʻalu, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻonau tala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku moʻui ho foha.”
52So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”
52Pea fehuʻi ai ia kiate kinautolu ki he feituʻulaʻā naʻe kamata moʻui ai ia. Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻAneafi ʻi hono fitu ʻoe feituʻulaʻā naʻe mahuʻi ʻae mofi ʻiate ia.”
53Then 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.
53Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe he tamai ko e feituʻulaʻā pe ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate ia, ʻOku moʻui ho foha: pea naʻe tui ai ia, pea mo hono fale kotoa pē.
54This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
54Ko hono ua eni ʻoe mana naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, ʻi heʻene haʻu mei Siutea ki Kāleli.
