¹Koa amin'izany, rehefa fantatry ny Tompo fa ny Fariseo efa nahare fa Jesosy mahazo mpianatra maro sy manao batisa be noho Jaona

¹When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,

²(kanefa tsy Jesosy no nanao batisa, fa ny mpianany),

²(though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,)

³dia niala tany Jodia Izy ka nankany Galilia indray.

³he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,

⁴Ary tsy maintsy mamaky an'i Samaria Izy.

⁴and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.

⁵Dia tonga tao an-tanàna anankiray any Samaria Izy, izay atao hoe Sykara, akaikin'ny tany izay nomen'i Jakoba ho an'i Josefa zanany.

⁵He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;

⁶Ary teo ilay fantsakan'i Jakoba. Ary satria sasatra Jesosy tamin'ny nalehany dia nipetraka teo am-pantsakana Izy, rehefa tokony ho tamin'ny ora fahenina. [Gr. loharano; sahala amin'ny teny ao amin'ny and. 14]

⁶and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;

⁷Ary nisy vehivavy Samaritana anankiray avy hantsaka rano dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Omeo Aho hosotroiko.

⁷there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, `Give me to drink;`

⁸(Fa ny mpianany efa lasa nankany an-tanàna hividy hanina)

⁸for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;

⁹Fa hoy ravehivavy Samaritana taminy: Nahoana Hianao no Jiosy ka mangataka amiko hosotroina, nefa aho vehivavy Samaritana? (Fa ny Jiosy tsy manan-draharaha amin'ny Samaritana.)

⁹the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, `How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?` for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.

¹⁰Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha fantatrao ny fanomezan'Andriamanitra sy Izay miteny aminao hoe: Omeo Aho hosotroiko, dia ianao no ho nangataka taminy, ka nomeny rano velona.

¹⁰Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.`

¹¹Hoy ravehivavy taminy: Tompoko, tsy manana fanovozana Hianao, sady lalina ny fantsakana; koa avy aiza no ahazoanao izany rano velona izany?

¹¹The woman saith to him, `Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?

¹²Hianao va lehibe noho Jakoba razantsika izay nanome anay ity fantsakana ity, sady izy sy ny zanany mbamin'ny bibiny no nisotro teto?

¹²Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?`

¹³Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay rehetra misotro ity rano ity dia mbola hangetaheta indray;

¹³Jesus answered and said to her, `Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again;

¹⁴fa na iza na iza no misotro ny rano izay homeko azy dia tsy hangetaheta mandrakizay; fa ny rano izay homeko azy dia ho loharano miboiboika ao anatiny ho fiainana mandrakizay.

¹⁴but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst — to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.`

¹⁵Hoy ravehivavy taminy: Tompoko, omeo izany rano izany aho, mba tsy hangetaheta na hanketo hantsaka intsony.

¹⁵The woman saith unto him, `Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.`

¹⁶Hoy Jesosy taminy: Andeha ary, antsoy ivadinao, ka mankanesa atỳ .

¹⁶Jesus saith to her, `Go, call thy husband, and come hither;`

¹⁷Ravehivavy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy manam-bady aho. Hoy Jesosy taminy: Marina ihany izay nolazainao hoe: Tsy manam-bady aho;

¹⁷the woman answered and said, `I have not a husband.` Jesus saith to her, `Well didst thou say — A husband I have not;

¹⁸fa efa nanam-bady indimy ianao, sady tsy vadinao ilay itoeranao ankehitriny; marina izany voalazanao izany.

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

¹⁹Hoy ravehivavy taminy: Tompoko, hitako fa mpaminany Hianao.

¹⁹The woman saith to him, `Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;

²⁰Ny razantsika nivavaka teto amin'ity tendrombohitra ity; fa ianareo kosa milaza fa any Jerosalema no tokony hivavahana.

²⁰our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye — ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.`

²¹Hoy Jesosy taminy: Ravehivavy, minoa Ahy, fa avy ny andro ka tsy amin'ity tendrombohitra ity, na any Jerosalema aza, no hivavahanareo amin'ny Ray.

²¹Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

²²Hianareo mivavaka amin'izay tsy fantatrareo; izahay kosa mivavaka amin'izay fantatray, satria avy amin'ny Jiosy ny famonjena.

²²ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;

²³Fa avy ny andro, sady tonga ankehitriny, raha ny tena mpivavaka hivavaka amin'ny Ray amin'ny fanahy sy ny fahamarinana; fa ny Ray koa mitady ny mpivavaka aminy ho tahaka izany. [Gr. ora]

²³but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

²⁴Andriamanitra dia Fanahy; ary izay mivavaka aminy tsy maintsy mivavaka amin'ny fanahy sy ny fahamarinana.

²⁴God [is] a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.`

²⁵Hoy ravehivavy taminy: Fantatro fa avy ny Mesia (Ilay atao hoe Kristy); ka rehefa tonga Izy, dia hambarany amintsika ny zavatra rehetra.

²⁵The woman saith to him, `I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;`

²⁶Hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho Izay miresaka aminao no Izy.

²⁶Jesus saith to her, `I am [he], who am speaking to thee.`

²⁷Ary tamin'izay dia tonga ny mpianany ka gaga, satria vehivavy no niresahany; nefa tsy nisy nanao hoe: Inona no tadiavinao? na: Nahoana no miresaka aminy Hianao?

²⁷And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, `What seekest thou?` or `Why speakest thou with her?`

²⁸Dia nandao ny sininy ravehivavy ary nankany an-tanàna ka nanao tamin'ny olona hoe:

²⁸The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹Andeha hizaha izaroa Lehilahy izaroana, Izay nilaza tamiko ny nataoko rehetra; Izao angaha no Kristy?

²⁹`Come, see a man, who told me all things — as many as I did; is this the Christ?`

³⁰Dia nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ny olona ka nankeo amin'i Jesosy.

³⁰They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him.

³¹Ary raha tsy mbola tonga izy ireny, ny mpianany dia nangataka taminy ka nanao hoe: Hano, Raby ô.

³¹And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, `Rabbi, eat;`

³²Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho manan-kanin-kohanina izay tsy fantatrareo.

³²and he said to them, `I have food to eat that ye have not known.`

³³Dia niresaka ny mpianatra ka nanao hoe: Nisy olona nitondra zavatra hohaniny va re?

³³The disciples then said one to another, `Did any one bring him anything to eat?`

³⁴Hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny haniko dia ny manao ny sitrapon'izay naniraka Ahy sy ny mahavita ny asany.

³⁴Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

³⁵Moa ianareo tsy manao hoe va: Efa-bolana no sisa, dia tonga ny fararano? Indro, lazaiko aminareo: Atopazy ny masonareo, ka jereo ny eny an-tsaha, fa efa masaka sahady hojinjana izy.

³⁵do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.

³⁶Ary izay mijinja dia mandray karama ka mamory vokatra ho amin'ny fiainana mandrakizay, mba hiara-mifaly ny mpamafy sy ny mpijinja.

³⁶`And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

³⁷Ary amin'izany dia marina ilay teny hoe: Ny iray mamafy, ary ny iray kosa mijinja,

³⁷for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.

³⁸Izaho naniraka anareo hijinja izay tsy nisasaranareo; olon-kafa no nisasatra, fa ianareo kosa no niditra teo amin'izay nisasarany.

³⁸I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered.

³⁹Ary maro ny Samaritana avy tao amin'izany tanàna izany no nino an'i Jesosy noho ny filazan-dravehivavy, izay nanambara hoe: Nolazainy tamiko avokoa izay rehetra nataoko.

³⁹And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, — `He told me all things — as many as I did.`

⁴⁰Ary rehefa nanatona Azy ny Samaritana, dia nangataka Azy hitoetra tao aminy; ka dia nitoetra tao indroa andro Izy.

⁴⁰When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days;

⁴¹Ary maro koa no nino noho ny teniny

⁴¹and many more did believe because of his word,

⁴²ka nanao tamin-dravehivavy hoe: Tsy noho ny filazanao ihany no inoanay, fa ny tenanay no mandre, ka fantatray fa Izy tokoa no Mpamonjy izao tontolo izao.

⁴²and said to the woman — `No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world — the Christ.`

⁴³Ary rehefa afaka ny indroa andro, dia niala tao Jesosy ka nankany Galilia.

⁴³And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee,

⁴⁴Fa ny tenan'i Jesosy no efa nanambara fa tsy misy mpaminany manan-daza eo amin'ny taniny.

⁴⁴for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;

⁴⁵Koa rehefa tonga tany Galilia Izy, dia nandray Azy ny Galiliana, satria efa hitany izay rehetra nataony tany Jerosalema tamin'ny andro firavoravoana; fa izy ireo koa mba niakatra tamin'ny andro firavoravoana.

⁴⁵when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast — for they also went to the feast.

⁴⁶Ary tonga tany Kana any Galilia indray Jesosy, dia tany amin'ilay nampodiany ny rano ho divay. Ary nisy tandapa anankiray izay nanana zanakalahy narary tany Kapernaomy.

⁴⁶Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,

⁴⁷Ary rehefa reny fa Jesosy efa tonga tany Galilia avy tany Jodia, dia nankany aminy izy ka nangataka Azy mba hidina sy hahasitrana ny zanany, satria efa ho faty izy.

⁴⁷he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.

⁴⁸Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha tsy mahita famantarana sy fahagagana ianareo, dia tsy mba hety hino mihitsy.

⁴⁸Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.`

⁴⁹Hoy ilay tandapa taminy: Tompoko, midina re, dieny tsy mbola maty ny zanako.

⁴⁹The courtier saith unto him, `Sir, come down before my child die;`

⁵⁰Hoy Jesosy taminy: Andeha mody; velona ny zanakao. Ary ralehilahy nino ny teny izay nolazain'i Jesosy taminy, ka dia lasa nody.

⁵⁰Jesus saith to him, `Be going on; thy son doth live.` And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,

⁵¹Ary nony nidina izy, dia nitsena azy ny mpanompony ka nilaza fa velona ny zanany.

⁵¹and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying — `Thy child doth live;`

⁵²Ary izy nanontany azy ny ora izay nanaretany. Dia hoy ireo taminy: Omaly tamin'ny ora fahafito no nialan'ny tazo taminy.

⁵²he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him — `Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;`

⁵³Koa fantatry ny rainy fa tamin'izay indrindra no ora nanaovan'i Jesosy taminy hoe: Velona ny zanakao. Dia nino izy mbamin'ny ankohonany rehetra.Izany no famantarana faharoa nataon'i Jesosy, fony Izy tonga tany Galilia avy tany Jodia.

⁵³then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him — `Thy son doth live,` and he himself believed, and his whole house;

⁵⁴Izany no famantarana faharoa nataon'i Jesosy, fony Izy tonga tany Galilia avy tany Jodia.

⁵⁴this again a second sign did Jesus, having come out of Judea to Galilee.
