Johani 4

¹Zvino Ishe wakati aziva kuti vaFarise vakanga vanzwa kuti Jesu wakaita nokubhabhatidza vadzidzi vakawanda kupfuvura Johane,When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

²(kunyange Jesu wakanga asingabhabhatidzi amene, asi vadzidzi vake),(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

³akabva Judhea, akaenda zveGarirea.He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴Wakanga achifanira kupfuvura neSamaria.And he must needs go through Samaria.

⁵Zvino akasvika paguta reSamaria, rainzi Sikari, pedo nenyika yakanga yapa Jakobho mwanakomana wake Josefa.Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶Tsime raJakobho rakanga riripo. Zvino Jesu aneta nokufamba, ndokungogara zvake patsime. Yaiva nguva inenge yechitanhatu.Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

⁷Zvino mumwe mukadzi weSamaria akasvikapo kuzochera mvura. Jesu akati kwaari: Ndipeivo, ndimwe.There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸Nokuti vadzidzi vake vakanga vaenda muguta kundotenga zvokudya.(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

⁹Ipapo mukadzi muSamaria akati kwaari: Ko iwe muJudha, unokumbira seiko kwandiri kumwa, ini mukadzi muSamaria? (Nokuti vaJudha havafambidzani navaSamaria).Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

¹⁰Jesu akapindura, akati kwaari: Dai waiziva chipo chaMwari, vuye kuti ndiani unoti kwauri, ndipei vo ndimwe, ungadai waikumbira kwaari, akakupa mvura mhenyu.Jesus answered and said 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.

¹¹Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, hamuna chamungachera nacho, tsime rakadzika, zvino mvura mhenyu mungaiwanepiko?The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹²Ko muri mukuru kuna baba vedu Jakobho, vakatipa tsime iri, vakamwa pariri vamene navanakomana vavo nezvipfuwo zvavo here?Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³Jesu akapindura, akati kwaari: Mumwe nomumwe, unomwa mvura iyi, uchava nenyota zve.Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴Asi aninani, unomwa mvura yandichamupa ini, haachazovi nenyota nokusingaperi asi mvura, yandichamupa, ichava mukati make tsime remvura, inovhaira kusvika kuvupenyu bwusingaperi.But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

¹⁵Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndipei mvura iyi, kuti ndirege kuzova nenyota, kana kuvuya kuchera pano.The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶Jesu akati kwaari: Enda, undodana murume wako, ugovuya pano.Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷Mukadzi akapindura, akati kwaari: Handino murume. Jesu akati kwaari: Wareva zvakanaka, zvawati: Handino murume.The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

¹⁸Nokuti watova navarume vashanu; uyo, waunaye zvino, haazi murume wako; apo wareva zvokwadi.For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

¹⁹Mukadzi akati kwaari: Ishe, ndinovona kuti muri muporofita.The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰Madzibaba edu ainamata pagomo iri; imi munoti muJerusarema ndimo munofanira kunamatwa.Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹Jesu akati kwaari: Mai, nditende kuti nguva inovuya, yamusingazonamati Baba pagomo iri, kana paJerusarema.Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²²Imi munonamata chamusingazivi; isu tinonamata chatinoziva, nokuti ruponeso runobva kuvaJudha.Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

²³Asi nguva inovuya, nazvino yatovapo, yokuti vashumiri vazvokwadi vachanamata Baba mumweya nezvokwadi; nokuti Baba vanotsvaka vakadaro kuzomunamata.But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

²⁴Mwari ndiMweya; vanomunamata, vanofanira kumunamata mumweya nezvokwadi.God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

²⁵Zvino mukadzi akati kwaari: Ndinoziva kuti Mesiasi unovuya, unonzi Kristu; kana iye asvika, uchativudza zvose.The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

²⁶Jesu akati kwaari: Ini, ndinotaura newe, ndini iye.Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

²⁷Zvino vadzidzi vake vakasvika, vakashamiswa vachivona kuti unotaurirana nomukadzi; kunyange zvakadaro hakuno mumwe wakati: Munotsvakeiko? Kana: Munotaurireiko naye?And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

²⁸Ipapo mukadzi akasiya chirongo chake, akaenda muguta, akati kuvanhu:The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹Vuyai muvone munhu, wakandivudza zvose zvandakaita. Ko uyu handiti ndiye Kristu here?Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

³⁰Vakabuda muguta, vakaenda kwaari.Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

³¹Nenguva iyo vadzidzi vake vakafanomunyengetera, vachiti: Rabhi, chidyai.In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

³²Iye akati kwavari: Ini ndine zvokudya, zvandinodya, zvamusingazivi,But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

³³Zvino vadzidzi vakataurirana, vachiti: Kasi mumwe wamuvigira zvokudya kanhi?Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

³⁴Jesu akati kwavari: Zvokudya zvangu ndizvo, kuti ndiite kuda kwowakandituma, nokupedza basa rake.Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

³⁵Ko imi hamuti: Kwasara mwedzi mina, kucheka kwasvika? Tarirai, ini ndinoti kwamuri: Simudzai meso enyu, vonai minda, kuti yatoibvira kucheka.Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

³⁶Unocheka unopiwa mubairo, unovunganidza zvibereko muvupenyu bwusingaperi; kuti unokusha nounocheka vafare vose.And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷Nokuti shumo ndeya zvokwadi, inoti: Mumwe unokusha, mumwe achicheka.And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

³⁸Ndakakutumai kundocheka zvamusakabatira; vamwe vakabata, zvino imi mapinda pabasa ravoI sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

³⁹Zvino vaSamaria vazhinji veguta iro vakatenda kwaari neshoko romukadzi wakapupura, achiti: Wandivudza zvose zvandakaita.And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

⁴⁰Zvino vaSamaria vakati vachisvika kwaari, vakamunyengetera kuti agare navo; akagarapo mazuva maviri.So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

⁴¹Navamwe vazhinji vakatenda neshoko rake.And many more believed because of his own word;

⁴²Vakati kumukadzi: Hatichatendi nokureva kwako; tazvinzwira timene, tinoziva kuti uyu ndiye Kristu Muponesi wenyika zvirokwazvo.And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

⁴³Mazuva maviri akati apfuvura, akabvapo akaenda Garirea.Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴Nokuti Jesu amene wakapupura, kuti muporofita haakudzwi munyika yake.For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵Zvino wakati achisvika Garirea, vaGarirea vakamugamuchira, nokuti vakanga vavona zvose zvaakaita Jerusarema pamutambo, nokuti naivo vakanga vaenda vo kumutambo.Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

⁴⁶Zvino Jesu wakasvika zve paKana yeGarirea, paakanga ashandura mvura ikaita waini. Ipapo pakanga pano mumwe mutariri washe, mwanakomana wake wakanga achirwara paKapernaume.So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

⁴⁷Iye wakati achinzwa kuti Jesu wabva Judhea, wasvika Garirea, akaenda kwaari, akamunyengetera kuti aburuke kundoporesa mwanakomana wake; nokuti wakanga wotandadza.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.

⁴⁸Zvino Jesu akati kwaari: Kana musingavoni zviratidzo nezvishamiso, hamungatongotendi.Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

⁴⁹Mutariri washe akati kwaari: Ishe, burukai henyu, mwana wangu asati afa.The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

⁵⁰Jesu akati kwaari: Enda hako, mwanakomana wako mupenyu. Munhu uyu akatenda shoko rakarebwa naJesu kwaari, akaenda.Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

⁵¹Wakati vachaburuka, varanda vake vakasongana naye, vakati: Mwana wenyu mupenyu.And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

⁵²Zvino akavabvunza nguva yaakatanga kunaya nayo. Vakati kwaari: Zuro nenguva yechinomwe fivhiri yakabva kwaari.Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

⁵³Zvino baba vakaziva kuti ndiyo nguva Jesu yaakati kwaari: Mwanakomana wako mupenyu. Iye akatenda nemhuri yake yose.So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

⁵⁴Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chechipiri chakaitwa naJesu, abva Judhea, asvika Garirea.This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
