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

¹When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

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

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

⁴በሰማርያም ሊያልፍ ግድ ሆነበት።

³he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.

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

⁴And he must needs pass through Samaria.

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

⁵So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

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

⁶and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁸ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ምግብ ሊገዙ ወደ ከተማ ሄደው ነበርና።

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

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

⁸For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.

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

⁹The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

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

¹⁰Jesus answered and said unto 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁴but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.

¹⁶ኢየሱስም። ሂጂና ባልሽን ጠርተሽ ወደዚህ ነዪ አላት።

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁹ሴቲቱ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አንተ ነቢይ እንደ ሆንህ አያለሁ።

¹⁸for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²²Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²⁴እግዚአብሔር መንፈስ ነው፥ የሚሰግዱለትም በመንፈስና በእውነት ሊሰግዱለት ያስፈልጋቸዋል።

²³But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.

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

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

²⁶ኢየሱስ። የምናገርሽ እኔ እርሱ ነኝ አላት።

²⁵The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.

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

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

²⁸ሴቲቱም እንስራዋን ትታ ወደ ከተማ ሄደች ለሰዎችም።

²⁷And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

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

²⁸So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,

³⁰ከከተማ ወጥተው ወደ እርሱ ይመጡ ነበር።

²⁹Come, see a man, who told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?

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

³⁰They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

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

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

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

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

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

³³The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?

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

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

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

³⁵Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.

³⁷አንዱ ይዘራል አንዱም ያጭዳል የሚለው ቃል በዚህ እውነት ሆኖአልና።

³⁶He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

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

³⁷For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

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

³⁸I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.

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

³⁹And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that [ever] I did.

⁴¹ስለ ቃሉ ከፊተኞች ይልቅ ብዙ ሰዎች አመኑ፤

⁴⁰So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.

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

⁴¹And many more believed because of his word;

⁴³ከሁለቱ ቀኖችም በኋላ ከዚያ ወጥቶ ወደ ገሊላ ሄደ።

⁴²and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

⁴⁴ነቢይ በገዛ አገሩ እንዳይከበር ኢየሱስ ራሱ መስክሮአልና።

⁴³And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.

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

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

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

⁴⁵So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

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

⁴⁶He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

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

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.

⁴⁹ሹሙም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ብላቴናዬ ሳይሞት ውረድ አለው።

⁴⁸Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.

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

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

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

⁵⁰Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.

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

⁵¹And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.

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

⁵²So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

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

⁵³So the father knew that [it was] at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

⁵⁴This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
