4 Yesu atazindikira kuti Afarisi amva zoti Iye ankapeza ndi kubatiza ophunzira ambiri kupambana Yohane, ² (ngakhale kuti Yesuyo sankabatiza, koma ophunzira ake). ³ Iye anachoka ku Yudeya ndi kubwereranso ku Galileya.

⁴ Ndipo Iye anayenera kudutsa mu Samariya. ⁵ Iye anafika mʼmudzi wa Asamariya wotchedwa Sukari, pafupi ndi malo amene Yakobo anapatsa mwana wake Yosefe. ⁶ Chitsime cha Yakobo chinali pamenepo ndipo Yesu atatopa ndi ulendo anakhala pansi pambali pa chitsimecho. Nthawi inali pafupifupi ora lachisanu ndi chimodzi masana.

⁷ Mayi wa Chisamariya atabwera kudzatunga madzi, Yesu anati kwa iye, “Kodi ungandipatse madzi akumwa.” ⁸ (Ophunzira ake nʼkuti atapita mʼmudzi kukagula chakudya).

⁹ Mayiyo anati kwa Iye, “Inu ndinu Myuda ndipo ine ndine Msamariya. Bwanji mukundipempha madzi akumwa?” (Popeza Ayuda ndi Asamariya sankayanjana).

¹⁰ Yesu anamuyankha kuti, “Koma iwe ukanadziwa mphatso ya Mulungu ndi Iye amene akukupempha madzi akumwa, ukanamupempha ndipo akanakupatsa madzi amoyo.”

¹¹ Mayiyo anati, “Ambuye, Inu mulibe kanthu kotungira madzi ndipo chitsime ndi chakuya. Kodi madzi amoyowo mungawatenge kuti? ¹² Kodi Inu ndinu wamkulu kuposa kholo lathu Yakobo, amene anatipatsa chitsimechi ndipo iye ankamwanso monga anachita ana ake ndi ziweto zake?”

¹³ Yesu anayankha kuti, “Aliyense amene amamwa madzi awa amamvanso ludzu, ¹⁴ koma aliyense amene adzamwa madzi amene Ine ndidzamupatsa sadzamvanso ludzu. Ndithudi, madzi amene ndidzamupatsa adzakhala kasupe wamadzi wotumphukira ku moyo wosatha.”
