¹When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

¹እንግዲህ። ኢየሱስ ከዮሐንስ ይልቅ ደቀ መዛሙርት ያደርጋል ያጠምቅማል ማለትን ፈሪሳውያን እንደ ሰሙ ጌታ ባወቀ ጊዜ፥

²(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

²ይሁዳን ትቶ ወደ ገሊላ ደግሞ ሄደ፤ ዳሩ ግን ደቀ መዛሙርቱ እንጂ ኢየሱስ ራሱ አላጠመቀም።

³He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴በሰማርያም ሊያልፍ ግድ ሆነበት።

⁴And he must needs go through Samaria.

⁵ስለዚህ ያዕቆብ ለልጁ ለዮሴፍ በሰጠው ስፍራ አጠገብ ወደምትሆን ሲካር ወደምትባል የሰማርያ ከተማ መጣ፤

⁵Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶በዚያም የያዕቆብ ጕድጓድ ነበረ። ኢየሱስም መንገድ ከመሄድ ደክሞ በጕድጓድ አጠገብ እንዲህ ተቀመጠ፤ ጊዜውም ስድስት ሰዓት ያህል ነበረ።

⁶Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

⁷ከሰማርያ አንዲት ሴት ውኃ ልትቀዳ መጣች። ኢየሱስም። ውኃ አጠጪኝ አላት፤

⁷There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ምግብ ሊገዙ ወደ ከተማ ሄደው ነበርና።

⁸(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

⁹ስለዚህ ሳምራዊቲቱ። አንተ የይሁዳ ሰው ስትሆን ሳምራዊት ሴት ከምሆን ከእኔ መጠጥ እንዴት ትለምናለህ? አለችው፤ አይሁድ ከሳምራውያን ጋር አይተባበሩም ነበርና።

⁹Then 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.

¹⁰ኢየሱስ መልሶ። የእግዚአብሔርን ስጦታና። ውኃ አጠጪኝ የሚልሽ ማን መሆኑንስ ብታውቂ፥ አንቺ ትለምኚው ነበርሽ የሕይወትም ውኃ ይሰጥሽ ነበር አላት።

¹⁰Jesus 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.

¹¹ሴቲቱ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ መቅጃ የለህም ጕድጓዱም ጥልቅ ነው፤ እንግዲህ የሕይወት ውኃ ከወዴት ታገኛለህ?

¹¹The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹²በእውኑ አንተ ይህን ጕድጓድ ከሰጠን ከአባታችን ከያዕቆብ ትበልጣለህን? ራሱም ልጆቹም ከብቶቹም ከዚህ ጠጥተዋል አለችው።

¹²Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ከዚህ ውኃ የሚጠጣ ሁሉ እንደ ገና ይጠማል፤

¹³Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴እኔ ከምሰጠው ውኃ የሚጠጣ ሁሉ ግን ለዘላለም አይጠማም፥ እኔ የምሰጠው ውኃ በእርሱ ውስጥ ለዘላለም ሕይወት የሚፈልቅ የውኃ ምንጭ ይሆናል እንጂ አላት።

¹⁴But 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.

¹⁵ሴቲቱ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ እንዳልጠማ ውኃም ልቀዳ ወደዚህ እንዳልመጣ ይህን ውኃ ስጠኝ አለችው።

¹⁵The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ኢየሱስም። ሂጂና ባልሽን ጠርተሽ ወደዚህ ነዪ አላት።

¹⁶Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ሴቲቱ መልሳ። ባል የለኝም አለችው። ኢየሱስ። ባል የለኝም በማለትሽ መልካም ተናገርሽ፤

¹⁷The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

¹⁸አምስት ባሎች ነበሩሽና፥ አሁን ከአንቺ ጋር ያለው ባልሽ አይደለም፤ በዚህስ እውነት ተናገርሽ አላት።

¹⁸For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

¹⁹ሴቲቱ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አንተ ነቢይ እንደ ሆንህ አያለሁ።

¹⁹The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰አባቶቻችን በዚህ ተራራ ሰገዱ፤ እናንተም። ሰው ሊሰግድበት የሚገባው ስፍራ በኢየሩሳሌም ነው ትላላችሁ አለችው።

²⁰Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አላት። አንቺ ሴት፥ እመኚኝ፥ በዚህ ተራራ ወይም በኢየሩሳሌም ለአብ የማትሰግዱበት ጊዜ ይመጣል።

²¹Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²²እናንተስ ለማታውቁት ትሰግዳላችሁ፤ እኛ መዳን ከአይሁድ ነውና ለምናውቀው እንሰግዳለን።

²²Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

²³ነገር ግን በእውነት የሚሰግዱ ለአብ በመንፈስና በእውነት የሚሰግዱበት ጊዜ ይመጣል አሁንም ሆኖአል፤ አብ ሊሰግዱለት እንደ እነዚህ ያሉትን ይሻልና፤

²³But 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.

²⁴እግዚአብሔር መንፈስ ነው፥ የሚሰግዱለትም በመንፈስና በእውነት ሊሰግዱለት ያስፈልጋቸዋል።

²⁴God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

²⁵ሴቲቱ። ክርስቶስ የሚባል መሲሕ እንዲመጣ አውቃለሁ፤ እርሱ ሲመጣ ሁሉን ይነግረናል አለችው።

²⁵The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

²⁶ኢየሱስ። የምናገርሽ እኔ እርሱ ነኝ አላት።

²⁶Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

²⁷በዚያም ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ መጡና ከሴት ጋር በመነጋገሩ ተደነቁ፤ ነገር ግን። ምን ትፈልጊያለሽ? ወይም። ስለ ምን ትናገራታለህ? ያለ ማንም አልነበረም።

²⁷And 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?

²⁸ሴቲቱም እንስራዋን ትታ ወደ ከተማ ሄደች ለሰዎችም።

²⁸The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹ያደረግሁትን ሁሉ የነገረኝን ሰው ኑና እዩ፤ እንጃ እርሱ ክርስቶስ ይሆንን? አለች።

²⁹Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

³⁰ከከተማ ወጥተው ወደ እርሱ ይመጡ ነበር።

³⁰Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

³¹ይህም ሲሆን ሳለ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ። መምህር ሆይ፥ ብላ ብለው ለመኑት።

³¹In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

³²እርሱ ግን። እናንተ የማታውቁት የምበላው መብል ለእኔ አለኝ አላቸው።

³²But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

³³ስለዚህ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ። የሚበላው አንዳች ሰው አምጥቶለት ይሆንን? ተባባሉ።

³³Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

³⁴ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አላቸው። የእኔስ መብል የላከኝን ፈቃድ አደርግ ዘንድ ሥራውንም እፈጽም ዘንድ ነው።

³⁴Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

³⁵እናንተ። ገና አራት ወር ቀርቶአል መከርም ይመጣል ትሉ የለምን? እነሆ እላችኋለሁ፥ ዓይናችሁን አንሡ አዝመራውም አሁን እንደ ነጣ እርሻውን ተመልከቱ።

³⁵Say 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.

³⁶የሚያጭድ ደመወዝን ይቀበላል፥ የሚዘራና የሚያጭድም አብረው ደስ እንዲላቸው ለዘላለም ሕይወት ፍሬን ይሰበስባል።

³⁶And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷አንዱ ይዘራል አንዱም ያጭዳል የሚለው ቃል በዚህ እውነት ሆኖአልና።

³⁷And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

³⁸እኔም እናንተ ያልደከማችሁበትን ታጭዱ ዘንድ ሰደድኋችሁ፤ ሌሎች ደከሙ እናንተም በድካማቸው ገባችሁ።

³⁸I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

³⁹ሴቲቱም። ያደረግሁትን ሁሉ ነገረኝ ብላ ስለ መሰከረችው ቃል ከዚያች ከተማ የሰማርያ ሰዎች ብዙ አመኑበት።

³⁹And 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.

⁴⁰የሰማርያ ሰዎችም ወደ እርሱ በመጡ ጊዜ በእነርሱ ዘንድ እንዲኖር ለመኑት፤ በዚያም ሁለት ቀን ያህል ኖረ።

⁴⁰So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

⁴¹ስለ ቃሉ ከፊተኞች ይልቅ ብዙ ሰዎች አመኑ፤

⁴¹And many more believed because of his own word;

⁴²ሴቲቱንም። አሁን የምናምን ስለ ቃልሽ አይደለም፥ እኛ ራሳችን ሰምተነዋልና፤ እርሱም በእውነት ክርስቶስ የዓለም መድኃኒት እንደ ሆነ እናውቃለን ይሉአት ነበር።

⁴²And 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.

⁴³ከሁለቱ ቀኖችም በኋላ ከዚያ ወጥቶ ወደ ገሊላ ሄደ።

⁴³Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ነቢይ በገዛ አገሩ እንዳይከበር ኢየሱስ ራሱ መስክሮአልና።

⁴⁴For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵ወደ ገሊላም በመጣ ጊዜ፥ የገሊላ ሰዎች ራሳቸው ደግሞ ለበዓል መጥተው ነበርና በበዓል በኢየሩሳሌም ያደረገውን ሁሉ ስላዩ ተቀበሉት።

⁴⁵Then 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.

⁴⁶ኢየሱስም ውኃውን የወይን ጠጅ ወዳደረገባት ወደ ገሊላ ቃና ዳግመኛ መጣ። በቅፍርናሆምም ልጁ የታመመበት ከንጉሥ ቤት አንድ ሹም ነበረ።

⁴⁶So 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.

⁴⁷እርሱም ኢየሱስ ከይሁዳ ወደ ገሊላ እንደ መጣ ሰምቶ ልጁ ሊሞት ስላለው ወደ እርሱ ሄደ ወርዶም እንዲፈውስለት ለመነው።

⁴⁷When 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.

⁴⁸ስለዚህም ኢየሱስ። ምልክትና ድንቅ ነገር ካላያችሁ ከቶ አታምኑም አለው።

⁴⁸Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

⁴⁹ሹሙም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ብላቴናዬ ሳይሞት ውረድ አለው።

⁴⁹The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

⁵⁰ኢየሱስም። ሂድ፤ ልጅህ በሕይወት አለ አለው። ሰውዬውም ኢየሱስ የነገረውን ቃል አምኖ ሄደ።

⁵⁰Jesus 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.

⁵¹እርሱም ሲወርድ ሳለ ባሮቹ ተገናኙትና። ብላቴናህ በሕይወት አለ ብለው ነገሩት።

⁵¹And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

⁵²እርሱም በጎ የሆነበትን ሰዓት ጠየቃቸው፤ እነርሱም። ትናንት በሰባት ሰዓት ንዳዱ ለቀቀው አሉት።

⁵²Then 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.

⁵³አባቱም ኢየሱስ። ልጅህ በሕይወት አለ ባለው በዚያ ሰዓት እንደ ሆነ አወቀ፤ እርሱም ከቤተ ሰዎቹ ሁሉ ጋር አመነ።

⁵³So 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.

⁵⁴ይህም ደግሞ ኢየሱስ ከይሁዳ ወደ ገሊላ መጥቶ ያደረገው ሁለተኛ ምልክት ነው።

⁵⁴This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
