João 4

1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee. 4 He needed to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.*4:6 noon

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." 8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?"

13 Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

17 The woman answered, "I have no husband."

Jesus said to her, "You said well, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."

19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."

21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

25 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ.*4:25 "Messiah" (Hebrew) and "Christ" (Greek) both mean "Anointed One". When he has come, he will declare to us all things."

26 Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."

27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?" 28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people, 29 "Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?" 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don’t know about."

33 The disciples therefore said to one another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"

34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. 35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already. 36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I have done." 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee. 44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast. 46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."

49 The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

50 Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying "Your child lives!" 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour,*4:52 1:00 p.m. the fever left him." 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house. 54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

Ko Īhu me te Wahine o Hamaria

1 Ā, nō ka mōhio te Ariki, kua rongo ngā Parihi, ko ngā ākonga a Īhu i mea ai, i iriiri ai, he tokomaha atu i a Hoani. 2 (He ahakoa rā ehara i a Īhu nāna i iriiri, nā āna ākonga ia.) 3 Ka mahue a Hūria i a ia, ā, hoki ana anō ki Karirī.

4 Nā, ko te ara mōna i tika nā Hamaria. 5 Ā, ka haere ia ki tētahi pā o Hamaria, ko Haika te ingoa, e pātata ana ki te wāhi i hoatu e Hākopa ki tāna tama, ki a Hōhepa. 6 Kei reira hoki te puna a Hākopa. Nā, kua ngenge a Īhu i te haerenga, heoi noho ana ia ki te taha o te puna, ā, meāke ko te ono o ngā hāora.

7 Ka haere mai tētahi wahine o Hamaria ki te utu wai. Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Hōmai he wai mōku." 8 (Kua riro hoki āna ākonga ki te pā, ki te hoko kai.)

9 Nā, ko te meatanga a te wahine o Hamaria ki a ia, "He aha koe, he Hūrai nā koe, ka tono mai ai i te wai i ahau, he wahine nei ahau nō Hamaria?" (Kāhore hoki e tātata ana ngā Hūrai ki ngā Hamari.)

10 Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, "Me i mātau koe ki tā te Atua e hōmai ai, ki tēnei hoki e mea nei ki a koe, ‘Hōmai he wai mōku,’ pēnei kua tono koe ki a ia, ā, kua hoatu e ia te wai ora ki a koe."

11 Ka mea te wahine ki a ia, "E kara, kāhore āu mea hei utu wai, he hōhonu anō te puna. Nō hea tēnā wai ora āu? 12 He nui oti koe i tō mātou matua, i a Hākopa, i hōmai ai te puna ki a mātou, inu ana ia i konei, rātou ko āna tamariki, me āna kararehe?"

13 Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, "E mate anō i te wai te tangata e inu ana i tēnei wai; 14 tēnā ko te tangata e inu ana i te wai e hoatu e ahau ki a ia, e kore ia e mate i te wai ā ake ake. Engari, te wai e hoatu e ahau ki a ia, hei puna wai tēnā i roto i a ia e pupū ake ana, ā te ora tonu rā anō."

15 Ka mea te wahine ki a ia, "E kara, hōmai ki ahau tēnei wai, kei mate ahau i te wai, kei haere mai hoki ki konei rawa utu ai."

16 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Tīkina, karangatia tō tahu, ka hoki mai ai."

17 Ka whakahoki te wahine, ka mea, "Kāhore āku tahu."

Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "He kōrero tika tāu, ‘Kāhore āku tahu’; 18 inā hoki kua tokorima āu tahu, ko ia i a koe nei ehara i te tahu nāu. He pono tēnei kōrero āu."

19 Ka mea te wahine ki a ia, "E kara, e kite ana ahau he poropiti koe. 20 I karakia ō mātou mātua i runga i tēnei maunga; ā, e mea ana koutou, Ko Hiruhārama te wāhi e tika ai te karakia."

21 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "E tai, whakapono ki ahau, meāke puta te wā, e kore ai koutou e karakia ki te Matua i runga i tēnei maunga, e kore anō i Hiruhārama. 22 Kāhore koutou e mōhio ki tā koutou e karakia nei; e mātau ana mātou ki tā mātou e karakia nei; nō ngā Hūrai nei hoki te ora. 23 Otirā, meāke puta te wā, ā, tēnei anō, e karakia ai ngā kaikarakia pono ki te Matua i runga i te wairua, i te pono; e rapu ana hoki te Matua ki te pērā hei karakia ki a ia. 24 He Wairua te Atua; me karakia hoki ngā kaikarakia ki a ia i runga i te wairua, i te pono."

25 Ka mea te wahine ki a ia, "E mātau ana ahau kei te haere mai te Mīhaia" (e kīia nei ko te Karaiti) "ka tae mai ia, māna ngā mea katoa e kōrero ki a tātou."

26 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Ko ahau anō ia e kōrero nei ki a koe."

27 Nā, ka puta i reira āna ākonga, ka mīharo ki tāna kōrerotanga ki te wahine; heoi, kīhai tētahi i mea, "He aha tāu e rapu? He aha koe ka kōrero ai ki a ia?"

28 Nā, ka whakarērea e te wahine tāna ipu, ā, haere ana ki te pā, ka mea ki ngā tāngata, 29 "Haere mai, kia kite i te tangata i kōrerotia mai ai ki ahau ngā mea katoa i mea ai ahau. Ehara rānei tēnei i a te Karaiti?" 30 Ka puta rātou ki waho o te pā, ā, ka ahu mai ki a ia.

31 I taua takiwā anō ka tohe ngā ākonga ki a ia, ka mea, "E te Kaiwhakaako, e kai rā."

32 Otirā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "He kai anō tāku hei kai māku, kāhore koutou e mātau."

33 Nā, ka mea ngā ākonga tētahi ki tētahi, "I kawea mai rānei e tētahi he kai māna?"

34 Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Ko tāku kai tēnei, ko te mea i tā tōku kaitono e pai ai, kia whakaotia hoki tāna mahi. 35 E kore ianei koutou e mea, ‘Kia whā atu ngā marama, ā, ka taea te kotinga?’ Nanā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, kia ara ake ō koutou kanohi, titiro ki ngā māra; kua mā noa ake; ko te kotinga tēnei. 36 Ka whiwhi te kaikokoti ki te utu, ka kohia anō hoki e ia ngā hua mō te ora tonu; kia hari tahi ai te kairui rāua ko te kaikokoti. 37 Nā, konei hoki i pono ai taua kī, ‘E rui ana tētahi, e kokoti ana tētahi.’ 38 I tonoa koutou e ahau ki te kokoti i te mea kīhai i mahia e koutou. He tangata kē nāna i mahi, ā, kua uru koutou ki ā rātou mahi."

39 Ā, he tokomaha ngā Hamari o taua pā i whakapono ki a ia, mō te kī a te wahine i mea rā, "I kōrerotia mai e ia ki ahau ngā mea katoa i mea ai ahau." 40 Ā, nō ka tae ngā Hamari ki a ia, ka mea kia noho ia ki a rātou; ā, e rua ngā rā i noho ai ia ki reira. 41 Nā, hira noa ake ngā tāngata i whakapono, he mea hoki nā tāna kupu.

42 I mea anō ki te wahine, "Ehara i te mea nā tāu kupu i whakapono ai mātou ināianei; kua rongo nei hoki mātou ake, ā, ka mātau, ko te Karaiti pū tēnei, ko te Kaiwhakaora o te ao."

Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu te Tama a tētahi Rangatira

43 Ka pahure aua rā e rua, ka tūria atu e ia i reira, ā, haere ana ki Karirī. 44 Ko Īhu tonu hoki nāna te kī, kāhore he hōnore o te poropiti i tōna kāinga ake. 45 Heoi, i tōna taenga ki Karirī, ka whakamanuhiritia, ia e ngā tāngata o Karirī, i kite hoki rātou i ngā mea katoa i meatia e ia ki Hiruhārama i te hākari; i haere hoki rātou ki te hākari.

46 Ā, ka tae anō a Īhu ki Kana o Karirī, ki te wāhi i meatia ai e ia te wai hei wāina. Nā, ko tētahi tangata a te kīngi, kei Kaperenauma tāna tama e mate ana. 47 Ā, nō ka rongo ia kua tae mai a Īhu i Hūria ki Karirī, ka haere ki a ia, ka īnoi ki a ia kia haere ia ki te whakaora i tāna tama; meāke hoki marere.

48 Nā, ko te meatanga a Īhu ki a ia, "Ki te kāhore koutou e kite i ngā tohu, i ngā merekara, e kore rawa koutou e whakapono."

49 Ka mea te tangata a te kīngi ki a ia, "E te Ariki, haere iho i te mea kāhore anō kia mate noa tāku tamaiti."

50 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Haere; kua ora tāu tama."

Nā, whakapono ana te tangata ki te kupu i kōrerotia e Īhu ki a ia, ā, haere ana. 51 Ā, i a ia e haere ana, ka tūtaki āna pononga ki a ia, ka kōrero, "Kua ora tāu tamaiti."

52 Nā, ka ui ia ki a rātou ki te hāora i mātūtū ake ai ia. Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Nōnanahi, nō te whitu o ngā hāora, i mutu ai tōna kā."

53 Nā, ka mōhio te pāpā, ko te tino hāora ia i mea ai a Īhu ki a ia, "Kua ora tāu tama"; ā, whakapono ana ia, rātou ko tōna whare katoa.

54 Ko te rua anō tēnei o ngā merekara i meatia e Īhu, i muri i tōna haerenga i Hūria ki Karirī.
