John 4

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

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

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

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

He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.

dia niala tany Jodia Izy ka nankany Galilia indray.

And he must needs go through Samaria.

Ary tsy maintsy mamaky an'i Samaria Izy.

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.

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

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.

Ary 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Fa 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.)

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.

Jesosy 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.

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

fa 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hoy ravehivavy taminy: Tompoko, hitako fa mpaminany Hianao.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Fa 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho Izay miresaka aminao no Izy.

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?

Ary 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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Moa 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Ary 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.

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

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

And many more believed because of his own word;

Ary maro koa no nino noho ny teniny

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.

ka 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Koa 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.

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.

Ary 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.

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.

Ary 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Koa fantatry ny rainy fa tamin'izay indrindra no ora nanaovan'i Jesosy taminy hoe: Velona ny zanakao. Dia nino izy mbamin'ny ankohonany rehetra.

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

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