1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
Kwa hiyo Bwana, alipofahamu ya kuwa Mafarisayo wamesikia ya kwamba, Yesu anafanya wanafunzi wengi kuliko Yohana, na kuwabatiza,
2 (though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
(lakini Yesu mwenyewe hakubatiza, bali wanafunzi wake,)
3 he left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
aliacha Uyahudi, akaenda zake tena mpaka Galilaya.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
Naye alikuwa hana budi kupita katikati ya Samaria.
The Woman of Samaria
5 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.
Basi akafika kunako mji wa Samaria, uitwao Sikari, karibu na lile shamba ambalo Yakobo alimpa Yusufu mwanawe.
6 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.
Na hapo palikuwa na kisima cha Yakobo. Basi Yesu, kwa sababu amechoka kwa safari yake, akaketi vivi hivi kisimani. Nayo ilikuwa yapata saa sita.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Akaja mwanamke Msamaria kuteka maji. Yesu akamwambia, Nipe maji ninywe.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
Kwa maana wanafunzi wake wamekwenda mjini kununua chakula.
9 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.
Basi yule mwanamke Msamaria akamwambia, Imekuwaje wewe Myahudi kutaka maji kwangu, nami ni mwanamke Msamaria? (Maana Wayahudi hawachangamani na Wasamaria.)
10 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.
Yesu akajibu, akamwambia, Kama ungaliijua karama ya Mungu, naye ni nani akuambiaye, Nipe maji ninywe, ungalimwomba yeye, naye angalikupa maji yaliyo hai.
11 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?
Yule mwanamke akamwambia, Bwana, huna kitu cha kutekea, na kisima ni kirefu; basi umeyapata wapi hayo maji yaliyo hai?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Je! Wewe u mkubwa kuliko baba yetu, Yakobo, aliyetupa kisima hiki, naye mwenyewe akanywa maji yake, na wanawe pia, na wanyama wake?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Yesu akajibu, akamwambia, Kila anywaye maji haya ataona kiu tena;
14 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.
walakini ye yote atakayekunywa maji yale nitakayompa mimi hataona kiu milele; bali yale maji nitakayompa yatakuwa ndani yake chemchemi ya maji, yakibubujikia uzima wa milele.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
Yule mwanamke akamwambia, Bwana, unipe maji hayo, nisione kiu, wala nisije hapa kuteka.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Yesu akamwambia, Nenda kamwite mumeo, uje naye hapa.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
Yule mwanamke akajibu, akasema, Sina mume. Yesu akamwambia, Umesema vema, Sina mume;
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
kwa maana umekuwa na waume watano, naye uliye naye sasa siye mume wako; hapo umesema kweli.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Yule mwanamke akamwambia, Bwana, naona ya kuwa u nabii!
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Baba zetu waliabudu katika mlima huu, nanyi husema ya kwamba huko Yerusalemu ni mahali patupasapo kuabudia.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Yesu akamwambia, Mama, unisadiki, saa inakuja ambayo hamtamwabudu Baba katika mlima huu, wala kule Yerusalemu.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Ninyi mnaabudu msichokijua; sisi tunaabudu tukijuacho; kwa kuwa wokovu watoka kwa Wayahudi.
23 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.
Lakini saa inakuja, nayo sasa ipo, ambayo waabuduo halisi watamwabudu Baba katika roho na kweli. Kwa maana Baba awatafuta watu kama hao wamwabudu.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Mungu ni Roho, nao wamwabuduo yeye imewapasa kumwabudu katika roho na kweli.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Yule mwanamke akamwambia, Najua ya kuwa yuaja Masihi, (aitwaye Kristo); naye atakapokuja, yeye atatufunulia mambo yote.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he .
Yesu akamwambia, Mimi ninayesema nawe, ndiye.
27 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?
Mara hiyo wakaja wanafunzi wake, wakastaajabu kwa sababu alikuwa akisema na mwanamke; lakini hakuna aliyesema, Unatafuta nini? Au, Mbona unasema naye?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
Basi yule mwanamke akauacha mtungi wake, akaenda zake mjini, akawaambia watu,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
Njoni, mtazame mtu aliyeniambia mambo yote niliyoyatenda. Je! Haimkini huyu kuwa ndiye Kristo?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
Basi wakatoka mjini, wakamwendea.
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
Huko nyuma wanafunzi wakamsihi wakisema, Rabi, ule.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
Akawaambia, Mimi ninacho chakula msichokijua ninyi.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
Basi wanafunzi wake wakasemezana, Je! Mtu amemletea chakula?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Yesu akawaambia, Chakula changu ndicho hiki, niyatende mapenzi yake aliyenipeleka, nikaimalize kazi yake.
35 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.
Hamsemi ninyi, Bado miezi minne, ndipo yaja mavuno? Tazama, mimi nawaambieni, Inueni macho yenu myatazame mashamba, ya kuwa yamekwisha kuwa meupe, tayari kwa mavuno.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
Naye avunaye hupokea mshahara, na kukusanya matunda kwa uzima wa milele, ili yeye apandaye na yeye avunaye wapate kufurahi pamoja.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Kwa maana hapo neno hilo huwa kweli, Mmoja hupanda akavuna mwingine.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
Mimi naliwatuma myavune yale msiyoyataabikia; wengine walitaabika, nanyi mmeingia katika taabu yao.
39 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.
Na katika mji ule Wasamaria wengi walimwamini kwa sababu ya neno la yule mwanamke, aliyeshuhudia kwamba, Aliniambia mambo yote niliyoyatenda.
40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
Basi wale Wasamaria walipomwendea, walimsihi akae kwao; naye akakaa huko siku mbili.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
Watu wengi zaidi wakaamini kwa sababu ya neno lake.
42 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.
Wakamwambia yule mwanamke, Sasa tunaamini, wala si kwa sababu ya maneno yako tu; maana sisi tumesikia wenyewe, tena twajua ya kuwa hakika huyu ndiye Mwokozi wa ulimwengu.
43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
Na baada ya siku mbili hizo akaondoka huko, akaenda Galilaya.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Kwa maana Yesu mwenyewe alishuhudia ya kwamba nabii hapati heshima katika nchi yake mwenyewe.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
Basi alipotoka Galilaya, Wagalilaya walimpokea; kwa kuwa wameyaona mambo yote aliyoyatenda huko Yerusalemu wakati wa sikukuu; maana hao nao waliiendea sikukuu.
46 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.
Basi alifika tena Kana ya Galilaya, hapo alipoyafanya yale maji kuwa divai. Na palikuwa na diwani mmoja ambaye mwanawe hawezi huko Kapernaumu.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa 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.
Huyo aliposikia ya kwamba Yesu amekuja kutoka Uyahudi mpaka Galilaya, alimwendea, akamsihi ashuke na kumponya mwanawe; kwa maana alikuwa kufani.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
Basi Yesu akamwambia, Msipoona ishara na maajabu hamtaamini kabisa?
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Yule diwani akamwambia, Bwana, ushuke asijakufa mtoto wangu.
50 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.
Yesu akamwambia, Enenda; mwanao yu hai. Mtu yule akalisadiki lile neno aliloambiwa na Yesu, naye akashika njia.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him , saying, Thy son liveth.
Hata alipokuwa akishuka, watumwa wake walimlaki, wakisema ya kwamba mtoto wake yu hai.
52 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.
Basi akawauliza habari ya saa alipoanza kuwa hajambo; nao wakamwambia, Jana, saa saba, homa ilimwacha.
53 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.
Basi babaye akafahamu ya kuwa ni saa ile ile aliyoambiwa na Yesu, Mwanao yu hai. Akaamini yeye na wote wa nyumbani mwake.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee.
Hiyo ni ishara ya pili aliyoifanya Yesu, alipokuwa ametoka Uyahudi kufika Galilaya.
