1Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
1(Jesu mah loe tuinuemhaih to paek ai, a hnukbang kaminawk mah ni paek o,) toe Jesu loe Johan pongah hnukbang kaminawk pop kue ah tawnh, kapop kue tuinuemhaih paek ti, tiah Farasinawk mah thaih o boeh, tiah Angraeng mah panoek naah,
2(although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
no verse 2 in this text
3he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
3Judea prae to tacawt taak moe, Kalili ah a caeh let.
4He needed to pass through Samaria.
4To tiah a caeh naah Samaria prae thung hoiah caeh han angaih.
5So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
5Anih loe caeh moe, Jacob mah a capa Joseph khaeah paek ih lawk taeng ih, Samaria prae thungah kaom Sikar, tiah kawk ih avang to phak.
6Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
6To ahmuen ah loe Jacob mah takaeh ih tuikhaw to oh, Jesu loe kholong caeh angpho pongah tuikhaw nuiah anghnut: to naah atue tarukto thuemtham oh boeh.
7A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
7Samaria nongpata maeto loe tuidok hanah angzoh: Jesu mah anih khaeah, Naek han tui na paek ah, tiah a naa.
8For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
8(A hnukbang kaminawk loe buh qan hanah avang ah caeh o.)
9The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
9Samaria nongpata mah anih khaeah, Judah kami maeto ah na oh to mah, kawbangmaw Samaria nongpata, kai khaeah naek han tui nang hnik loe? Judahnawk loe Samari kaminawk hoi angkom o ai bae, tiah a naa.
10Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
10Jesu mah nongpata khaeah, Tui naek han na paek ah, tiah nang khaeah lokthui kami, Sithaw ih tangqum to na panoek soe nahaeloe, nang mah ni anih khaeah na hni ueloe, anih mah hinghaih tui to na paek tih, tiah a naa.
11The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
11Nongpata mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, nang loe tui sohhaih tidoeh na tawn ai, tuikhaw loe thuk parai bae: to hinghaih tui loe naa hoiah maw na hnu tih?
12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
12Nang loe kaicae ampa Jakob pongah na len kue maw? Anih loe angmah doeh, a caanawk hoi a pacah ih moinawk mah doeh naek o ih, tuikhaw to kaicae hanah ang paek, tiah a naa.
13Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
13Jesu mah anih khaeah, Mi kawbaktih doeh hae tui nae kami loe tui anghae let tih:
14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
14toe mi kawbaktih doeh anih ka paek han koi tui nae kami loe, natuek naah doeh tui anghae mak ai boeh; anih ka paek han koi tui loe, anih thungah kalong dungzan kahing tuibap ah om tih, tiah a naa.
15The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
15Nongpata mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, tui kang haeh han ai, haeah tuidok han ai ah, to tui to na paek khae, tiah a naa.
16Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
16Jesu mah anih khaeah, Caeh ah loe, na sava to kawk pacoengah, haeah angzo ah, tiah a naa.
17The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
17To naah nongpata mah, Sava ka tawn ai, tiah a naa. Jesu mah nongpata khaeah, Sava ka tawn ai, tiah na thuih ih lok loe amsoem:
18for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
18sava pangato na tawnh boeh; vaihi na tawnh ih nongpa doeh na sava na ai ni: na thuih ih lok loe amsoem, tiah a naa.
19The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
19Nongpata mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, nang loe tahmaa maeto ah na oh, tito kang panoek.
20Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
20Kaicae ampanawk loe hae mae ah sithaw bok o; nangcae mah loe Jerusalem ah ni kaminawk mah Sithaw bok han oh, tiah na thuih o, tiah a naa.
21Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
21Jesu mah anih khaeah, Nongpata, Kai hae na tang ah, hae mae ah na ai, Jerusalem ah doeh na ai ah, Pa na bok o haih atue to phak tom boeh.
22You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
22Nangcae loe na panoek o ai ih hmuen to na bok o: kaicae loe panoek ih hmuen to ni ka bok o: pahlonghaih loe Judahnawk ih ni.
23But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
23Toe Sithaw bok kaminawk mah Pa to Muithla hoi loktang ah bokhaih atue to pha tih, vaihi doeh phak boeh: Ampa loe to tiah Anih bok kaminawk to ni pakrong.
24God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
24Sithaw loe Muithla ah oh: Anih bok kaminawk loe Muithla hoi loktang ah bok o han oh, tiah a naa.
25The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
25Nongpata mah anih khaeah, Kri, tiah kawk ih Messiah angzo tih, tito ka panoek: anih angzoh naah loe kaicae hanah hmuennawk to thui boih tih, tiah a naa.
26Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
26To naah Jesu mah anih khaeah, Nang khaeah lokthui Kai loe Anih to boeh ni, tiah a naa.
27Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
27To nathuem ah a hnukbang kaminawk to phak o, nongpata hoi lok kapae Anih to hnuk o naah dawnrai o: toe mi mah doeh timaw na koeh? To tih ai boeh loe tikhoe nongpata hoiah lok na paeh loe? tiah dueng o ai.
28So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
28To nongpata loe tui laom to caehtaak moe, avang thungah caeh pacoengah, kaminawk khaeah,
29“Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
29angzo oh loe, ka sak ih hmuennawk boih thui kami to khen oh: hae kami loe Kri na ai maw? tiah a naa.
30They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
30Kaminawk loe avang thung hoiah tacawt o moe, anih khet hanah caeh o.
31In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
31To naah a hnukbang kaminawk mah, Patukkung, buhcaa raeh, tiah a naa o.
32But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
32Toe anih mah nihcae khaeah, Na panoek o ai ih buhcaak han ka tawnh, tiah a naa.
33The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
33To pongah a hnukbang kaminawk mah, Kami maeto mah caak han buh sinh pae mue, tiah maeto hoi maeto thuih o.
34Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
34Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kai patoehkung koehhaih to sak moe, anih ih tok sak pacoeng pae haih loe, Kai ih buh ah oh.
35Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
35Khrah palito pacoengah loe cang aah han khawt boeh, tiah na thuih o na ai maw? Khenah, kang thuih o, Mikpadai oh loe, lawknawk ho khen o noek ah; caang aah han hmin boeh.
36He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
36Cang aat kami loe atho to hnuk moe, dungzan hing hanah athaih to pakhrik: to naah ni caang tuh kami hoi aat kami to anghoe hoi hmaek tih.
37For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
37Kami maeto mah patit moe, maeto mah aah, tiah thuih ih lok loe amsoem.
38I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
38Tok na sah o ai ih lawk ah cang aah hanah kang patoeh o: kalah kaminawk mah toksak o, nangcae loe nihcae toksakhaih thungah na kun o, tiah a naa.
39From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
39Nongpata mah, Ka sak ih hmuennawk ang thuih boih, tiah thuih pongah to avang thung ih paroeai Samaritan kaminawk mah Anih to tang o.
40So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
40Samaritan kaminawk anih khaeah caeh o naah, nihcae khaeah cam pae hanah Anih to tahmenhaih hnik o, to pongah nihcae khaeah ni hnetto a cam pae.
41Many more believed because of his word.
41Anih mah thuih ih lok pongah paroeai kaminawk mah tanghaih to tawnh o;
42They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
42nihcae mah to nongpata khaeah, Nang mah thuih ih lok pongah na ai ni, kaimacae khaeh mah anih ih lok to ka thaih o moe, hae kami loe long pahlongkung, Kri ni, tiah ka panoek o pongah ni, vaihi ka tang o, tiah a naa o.
43After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
43Toah ni hnetto cam pacoengah, Kalili bangah a caeh.
44For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
44Tahmaa loe angmah prae ah pakoeh ah om vai ai, tiah Jesu angmah khaeh mah thuih.
45So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
45Anih Kalili ah phak naah, Kalili kaminawk mah anih to dawt o, nihcae doeh poihkung ah caeh o toeng, Jerusalem poihkung ah Anih mah sak ih hmuennawk to nihcae mah hnuk o boih.
46Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
46Jesu loe tui misurtui ah angcoengsakhaih, Kalili prae thung ih Kana avang ah caeh let. Kapernuam avang ah a capa nganna angraeng maeto oh.
47When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
47Anih mah Jesu Judea prae hoi Kalili prae ah angzoh ti, tiah thaih naah, anih khaeah caeh moe, kadueh duih a capa to ngantuisak hanah tahmenhaih hnik.
48Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
48Jesu mah anih khaeah, Dawnrai hmuen hoi angmathaihnawk na hnu o ai ah loe, na tang o mak ai, tiah a naa.
49The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
49To naah angraeng mah anih khaeah, Angraeng, ka capa dueh ai naah angzo tathuk raeh, tiah a naa.
50Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
50Jesu mah anih khaeah, Caeh lai ah, na capa loe ngantui boeh, tiah a naa. Jesu mah thuih ih lok to a tang pongah, anih loe angmah im ah amlaem.
51As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
51Loklam ah a caeh li naah, a tamnanawk angzoh o moe, anih khaeah, Na capa loe ngantui boeh, tiah thuih pae o.
52So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
52Natuek naah maw a capa ngantui let, tiah a dueng naah, Cangduem atue sarihto naah ngantui let, tiah a thuih pae o.
53So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
53To atue nathuem ah ni, Jesu mah anih khaeah, Na capa loe ngantui boeh, tiah a thuih pae, tito ampa mah panoek; to pongah angmah hoi a imthung takoh kaminawk boih mah tang o.
54This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
54Hae loe Jesu mah Judea prae hoi Kalili prae ah caeh naah, sak ih dawnrai hmuen vai hnetto haih ah oh.
