Juan 4
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Si Jesus ug ang Babaye nga Taga-Samaria
4 1-3 Karon, nakadungog ang mga Pariseo nga mas daghan na ang mga tinun-an ni Jesus kaysa kang Juan, ug mas daghan na ang iyang gipangbautismohan. (Sa pagkatinuod, dili si Jesus mismo ang nagbautismo, kondili ang iyang mga tinun-an.) Pagkahibalo ni Jesus nga nahibaloan na kini sa mga Pariseo, mipahawa siya sa probinsya sa Judea ug mibalik sa Galilea. 4 Sa ilang pagpaingon sa Galilea kinahanglan gayod nga moagi sila sa probinsya sa Samaria.
5 Sa pag-agi nila sa Samaria, nahiabot sila sa lungsod nga gitawag ug Sicar, duol sa yuta nga gihatag ni Jacob sa iyang anak nga si Jose. 6 May atabay didto nga hinimo ni Jacob. Ug tungod kay gikapoy na gayod si Jesus sa iyang paglakaw, milingkod na lang siya sa daplin sa atabay. Udtong tutok na kadto. 7-8 Ang iyang mga tinun-an milahos didto sa lungsod aron mopalit ug pagkaon. Ug samtang nagalingkod siya didto, miabot ang usa ka babaye nga taga-Samaria aron mosag-ob. Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Paimna ako.” 9 Miingon ang babaye kaniya, “Usa ikaw ka Judio ug ako usa ka babayeng Samarianhon.[a] Nganong mangayo ka man kanako ug tubig?” (Miingon siya niini tungod kay ang mga Judio dili makigsandurot sa mga Samarianhon.)
10 Mitubag si Jesus, “Kon nahibaloan mo lang unta kon unsa ang ikahatag sa Dios, ug kon kinsa ako nga nangayo kanimo ug tubig, ikaw na gayod unta ang mangayo kanako ug hatagan ko ikaw ug tubig nga makahatag ug kinabuhi.” 11 Miingon ang babaye kaniya, “Sir, lawom ang atabay ug wala ka man ganiy timba. Asa ka man mokuhag tubig nga makahatag ug kinabuhi? 12 Ang atong katigulangan nga si Jacob mao ang nagkalot niini nga atabay. Siya ug ang iyang mga anak ingon man ang iyang mga kahayopan miinom dinhi niini nga atabay. Mas labaw ka pa ba sa atong katigulangan nga si Jacob?” 13 Mitubag si Jesus, “Si bisan kinsa nga moinom niini nga tubig uhawon pag-usab. 14 Apan si bisan kinsa nga moinom sa tubig nga akong ihatag dili na gayod uhawon. Kay ang tubig nga akong ihatag kaniya mahisama sa buhi nga tuboran nga maghatag kaniya ug kinabuhi nga walay kataposan.” 15 Busa miingon ang babaye kang Jesus, “Sir, hatagi ako nianang tubig nga imong giingon aron dili na ako uhawon pag-usab, ug aron dili na kinahanglan nga magbalik-balik pa ako dinhi aron magsag-ob.” 16 Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Adtoi ang imong bana ug kuyoga dinhi.” 17 Mitubag ang babaye, “Wala akoy bana.” Miingon si Jesus, “Husto kana. Wala tinuod kay bana, 18 kay kaniadto lima ang imong bana, ug ang lalaki nga imong gipuyo-puyo karon dili mo tinuod nga bana. Busa tinuod kanang imong gisulti.” 19 Miingon ang babaye, “Sir, propeta ka tingali. 20 Ang among mga katigulangan nagsimba sa Dios dinhi niining bukid, apan kamo nga mga Judio nagaingon nga ang mga tawo angay magsimba sa Dios didto lamang sa Jerusalem.” 21 Miingon si Jesus sa babaye, “Paminaw! Moabot ang panahon nga dili na igsapayan kon asa kamo mosimba, dinhi ba niining bukid o kaha sa Jerusalem. 22 Kamo nga mga Samarianhon wala gayod makaila kon kinsa ang inyong ginasimba. Apan kami nga mga Judio nakaila sa among ginasimba, kay pinaagi kanamo luwason sa Dios ang mga tawo. 23 Sa pagkatinuod, moabot ang adlaw ug miabot na gani, nga ang tinuod nga mga magsisimba magasimba sa Amahan pinaagi sa espiritu ug kamatuoran. Ug mao kini ang mga magsisimba nga gikahimut-an sa Amahan. 24 Ang Dios espiritu, busa ang magsimba kaniya kinahanglan nga mosimba pinaagi sa espiritu ug kamatuoran.”
25 Miingon ang babaye, “Nahibaloan ko nga moabot ang Mesiyas, ang gitawag nga Cristo. Ug kon moabot na siya, pasabton niya kita sa tanan.” 26 Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Ako nga nakigsulti kanimo karon mao na ang imong giingon nga moabot.”
27 Sa nagahisgot siya niini miabot dayon ang iyang mga tinun-an. Natingala gayod sila sa dihang nakita nila nga nakigsulti siya sa usa ka babaye. Apan wala gayoy bisan usa kanila nga nangutana sa babaye kon unsa ang iyang gikinahanglan. Wala usab sila mangutana kang Jesus kon nganong nakigsulti siya sa babaye.
28 Ug gibiyaan sa babaye ang iyang banga nga sag-obanan ug mibalik siya sa lungsod. Pag-abot niya didto miingon dayon siya sa mga tawo, 29 “Dali kamo, himamata ninyo ang tawo nga nahibalo sa tanan kong binuhatan. Basin kon mao na kini ang Cristo.” 30 Busa nangadto ang mga tawo didto kang Jesus.
31 Sa wala pa mangabot ang mga tawo didto kang Jesus, gipugos si Jesus sa iyang mga tinun-an nga mokaon na. 32 Apan miingon si Jesus kanila, “May pagkaon ako nga wala ninyo mahibaloi.” 33 Busa nagpangutan-anay ang iyang mga tinun-an kon duna bay nagdala kaniyag pagkaon. 34 Miingon dayon si Jesus kanila, “Ang akong kalan-on mao ang pagtuman sa kabubut-on sa nagpadala kanako ug ang paghuman sa buluhaton nga iyang gipabuhat kanako. 35 Dili ba nagaingon man kamo nga upat pa ka bulan una moabot ang ting-ani? Apan alang kanako, ting-ani na karon. Tan-awa ra ninyo ang daghang mga tawo nga nangabot! Kon sa mga anihon pa, kini hinog na gayod, ug angay nang anihon.[b] 36 Kamo, isip mga mangangani, may pagadawaton nga balos gikan sa Dios. Ug ang mga tawo, isip inyong anihonon, hatagan niya ug kinabuhi nga walay kataposan. Busa ang mga nagapugas sa pulong sa Dios ug ang mga nagaani sa bunga managsama nga magmalipayon. 37 Tinuod gayod ang panultihon nga nagaingon, ‘Lahi ang magtanom ug lahi usab ang mag-ani.’ 38 Sama kamo sa mga mag-aani nga akong gipadala aron mangani sa mga anihonon nga dili kamo ang nagtanom. Kay lahi ang nagtudlo kaniadto kanila, ug kamo ang nakapulos sa ilang hinagoan.”
39 Daghang mga Samarianhon niadto nga lugar ang mituo kang Jesus tungod sa gisulti sa babaye nga nahibaloan ni Jesus ang tanan niyang binuhatan. 40 Busa pag-abot sa mga Samarianhon didto kang Jesus, gihangyo gayod nila siya nga kon mahimo magpabilin usa siya didto kanila. Busa nagpabilin siya didto sulod sa duha ka adlaw.
41 Tungod sa iyang gipanudlo, daghan pa gayod ang mituo kaniya. 42 Giingnan dayon sa mga tawo ang babaye, “Karon nagtuo na kami kaniya dili lang tungod sa imong gisulti kanamo, kondili kami na gayod mismo ang nakadungog kaniya. Ug nahibalo kami nga siya mao ang Manluluwas sa kalibotan.”
Giayo ni Jesus ang Anak sa Usa ka Opisyal
43 Human sa duha ka adlaw nga pagpabilin nila ni Jesus didto, miadto dayon sila sa Galilea. 44 (Si Jesus mismo ang miingon nga ang propeta sa Dios dili tahoron diha sa iyang kaugalingon nga lungsod.) 45 Sa pag-abot nila sa Galilea, maayo ang pagdawat kaniya sa mga tawo. Kay kini nga mga tawo didto man usab sa pista didto sa Jerusalem ug nakita nila ang tanan nga iyang gipangbuhat didto.
46 Mibalik na usab si Jesus sa Cana nga sakop sa Galilea, sa lugar diin gihimo niya nga bino ang tubig. May usa ka opisyal sa gobyerno didto nga may anak nga lalaki nga nagmasakiton didto sa Capernaum. 47 Pagkadungog niya nga si Jesus mibalik sa Galilea gikan sa Judea, miadto dayon siya kang Jesus ug gihangyo niya siya nga moadto sa Capernaum ug ayohon ang iyang anak nga himalatyon. 48 Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Kon wala pa kamo makakita ug mga milagro ug mga kahibulongan nga mga butang, dili kamo motuo kanako.” 49 Apan miingon ang opisyal nga nagpakilooy, “Sir, kon mahimo uban una kanako samtang buhi pa ang akong anak.” 50 Giingnan siya ni Jesus, “Pauli na. Maayo na ang imong anak.” Mituo ang opisyal sa gisulti ni Jesus kaniya, ug mipauli dayon siya. 51 Sa diha pa siya sa dalan, gisugat na siya sa iyang mga sulugoon ug gisultihan nga maayo na ang iyang anak. 52 Busa nangutana siya kon unsang orasa naayo ang iyang anak. Miingon ang mga sulugoon, “Mga ala una kagahapon sa hapon nahuwasan na siya sa iyang hilanat.” 53 Nahinumdoman dayon sa opisyal nga mao gayod kadto nga oras sa dihang miingon si Jesus kaniya nga ang iyang anak maayo na. Busa siya ug ang iyang tibuok panimalay mituo kang Jesus.
54 Mao kini ang ikaduha nga milagro nga gihimo ni Jesus didto sa Galilea human siya mibiya sa Judea.
John 4
English Standard Version
Jesus and the Woman of Samaria
4 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and (A)baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed (B)again for Galilee. 4 (C)And he had to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field (D)that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, (E)wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.[a]
7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, (F)“Give me a drink.” 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” ((G)For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you (H)living water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 (I)Are you greater than our father Jacob? (J)He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but (K)whoever drinks of the water that I will give him (L)will never be thirsty again.[b] The water that I will give him will become (M)in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, (N)give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, (O)call your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.” 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that (P)you are (Q)a prophet. 20 (R)Our fathers worshiped on (S)this mountain, but you say that (T)in Jerusalem is (U)the place where people ought to worship.” 21 Jesus said to her, (V)“Woman, believe me, (W)the hour is coming when (X)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 (Y)You worship what you do not know; (Z)we worship what we know, for (AA)salvation is (AB)from the Jews. 23 But (AC)the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father (AD)in spirit and (AE)truth, for the Father (AF)is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman said to him, “I know that (AG)Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, (AH)he will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus said to her, (AI)“I who speak to you am he.”
27 Just then (AJ)his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” 28 So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man (AK)who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of the town and were coming to him.
31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, (AL)“Rabbi, eat.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So the disciples said to one another, (AM)“Has anyone brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, (AN)“My food is (AO)to do the will of him who sent me and (AP)to accomplish his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that (AQ)the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that (AR)sower and (AS)reaper (AT)may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, (AU)‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap (AV)that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, (AW)and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Many Samaritans (AX)from that town believed in him (AY)because of (AZ)the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed (BA)because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, (BB)and we know that this is indeed (BC)the Savior (BD)of the world.”
43 After (BE)the two days he departed for Galilee. 44 (For Jesus himself had testified (BF)that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) 45 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, (BG)having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For (BH)they too had gone to the feast.
Jesus Heals an Official's Son
46 So he came again to (BI)Cana in Galilee, (BJ)where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. 47 When this man heard that Jesus (BK)had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 So Jesus said to him, (BL)“Unless you[c] see signs and wonders you will not believe.” 49 The official said to him, “Sir, come down (BM)before my child dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. 51 As he was going down, his servants[d] met him and told him that his son was recovering. 52 So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour[e] the fever left him.” 53 The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, (BN)and all his household. 54 (BO)This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
John 4
New International Version
Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
4 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John(A)— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea(B) and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.(C) 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(D) 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”(E) 8 (His disciples had gone into the town(F) to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan(G) woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”(H)
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well(I) and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.(J) Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water(K) welling up to eternal life.”(L)
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty(M) and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.(N) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain,(O) but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”(P)
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming(Q) when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(R) 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know;(S) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.(T) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come(U) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit(V) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,(W) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)(X) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”(Y)
The Disciples Rejoin Jesus
27 Just then his disciples returned(Z) and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.(AA) Could this be the Messiah?”(AB) 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi,(AC) eat something.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat(AD) that you know nothing about.”
33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”
34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will(AE) of him who sent me and to finish his work.(AF) 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.(AG) 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests(AH) a crop for eternal life,(AI) so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’(AJ) is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
Many Samaritans Believe
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town(AK) believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”(AL) 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.
42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”(AM)
Jesus Heals an Official’s Son
43 After the two days(AN) he left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)(AO) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AP) for they also had been there.
46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.(AQ) And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,(AR) he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,”(AS) Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”
49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”
The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”
53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household(AT) believed.
54 This was the second sign(AU) Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.
