Juan 4
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Si Jesus kag ang Babayi nga Taga-Samaria
4 1-3 Karon, nakabati ang mga Pariseo nga mas madamo na ang mga sumulunod ni Jesus sang sa kay Juan, kag mas madamo na ang iya ginpangbautisohan. (Sa pagkamatuod, indi si Jesus mismo ang nagapangbautiso, kundi ang iya mga sumulunod.) Pagkahibalo ni Jesus nga nahibaluan na ini sang mga Pariseo, naghalin siya sa Judea kag nagbalik sa Galilea. 4 Sa ila pagpakadto sa Galilea kinahanglan gid nga mag-agi sila sa Samaria.
5 Sang nagaagi na sila sa Samaria, nakaabot sila sa banwa nga ginatawag Sicar, malapit sa duta nga ginhatag ni Jacob sa iya anak nga si Jose. 6 May bubon didto nga ginhimo ni Jacob. Kag tungod nga udtong-adlaw na kag nakapoy na gid si Jesus sa iya paglakat, nagpungko na lang siya sa higad sang bubon. 7-8 Ang iya mga sumulunod nagderetso sa banwa agod magbakal sang pagkaon. Karon, samtang nagapungko siya didto, nag-abot ang isa ka babayi nga taga-Samaria agod magsag-ob. Nagsiling si Jesus sa iya, “Abi paimna man ako.” 9 Nagsiling ang babayi sa iya, “Indi bala nga ikaw Judio kag ako Samariahanon,[a] kag babayi pa.[b] Ngaa mangayo ka sa akon sang tubig?” (Amo ini ang iya ginsiling tungod kay ang mga Judio wala nagasapak sa mga Samariahanon.) 10 Nagsiling si Jesus sa babayi, “Kon nahibaluan mo lang kon ano ang ginahatag sang Dios, kag kon sin-o ang nagapangayo sa imo sang tubig, ikaw pa kuntani ang mangayo sa akon agod hatagan ko ikaw sang tubig nga nagahatag sang kabuhi.” 11 Nagsiling ang babayi sa iya, “Sir, wala ka sing timba kag madalom ang bubon. Diin bala ikaw makakuha sang tubig nga nagahatag sang kabuhi? 12 Ang aton katigulangan nga si Jacob amo ang nagkutkot sini nga bubon. Siya kag ang iya mga anak pati ang iya mga kasapatan nag-inom sa sini nga bubon. Ano, sobra ka pa bala sa aton katigulangan nga si Jacob?” 13 Nagsabat si Jesus, “Ang bisan sin-o nga nagainom sa sini nga tubig pagauhawon liwat. 14 Pero ang bisan sin-o nga magainom sang tubig nga akon ihatag indi na gid pag-uhawon. Kay ang tubig nga akon ihatag sa iya mangin pareho sang buhi nga tuburan dira sa iya nga magahatag sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan.” 15 Gani nagsiling ang babayi kay Jesus, “Sir, hatagi man ako sina nga tubig nga imo ginasiling agod indi na ako pag-uhawon liwat, kag agod indi na kinahanglan nga magbalik-balik pa ako diri para magsag-ob.” 16 Nagsiling si Jesus sa iya, “Ti kadtui ang imo bana kag dal-a diri.” 17 Nagsabat ang babayi, “Wala ako sing bana.” Nagsiling si Jesus, “Husto ina. Wala matuod ikaw sing bana, 18 kay sadto lima ang imo nangin bana, kag ang lalaki nga imo ginapuyo subong indi mo matuod nga bana. Gani matuod ang ginasiling mo nga ina.” 19 Nagsiling ang babayi sa iya, “Sir, siguro propeta ka. 20 Ang amon mga katigulangan nagsimba sa Dios sa sini nga bukid, pero kamo nga mga Judio nagasiling nga ang mga tawo dapat magsimba sa Dios sa Jerusalem.” 21 Nagsiling si Jesus sa babayi, “Pamati bala anay! Magaabot ang tion nga indi na kamo magsimba sa Amay sa sini nga bukid ukon sa Jerusalem. 22 Kamo nga mga Samariahanon wala gid kamo makakilala kon sin-o ang inyo ginasimba. Pero kami nga mga Judio nakakilala kon sin-o ang amon ginasimba, kay paagi sa amon luwason sang Dios ang mga tawo.” 23 Nagsiling pa gid si Jesus, “Sa pagkamatuod, magaabot ang adlaw kag nag-abot na gani, nga ang matuod nga mga manugsimba magasimba sa Amay paagi sa espiritu kag kamatuoran. Kag amo ini nga klase sang mga manugsimba ang gusto sang Dios nga magasimba sa iya. 24 Ang Dios espiritu, gani ang nagasimba sa iya dapat magsimba paagi sa espiritu kag kamatuoran.”
25 Nagsiling ang babayi, “Nahibaluan ko nga magaabot ang Mesias nga ginatawag man nga Cristo. Kag kon mag-abot na siya, sugiran niya kita parte sa tanan nga butang.” 26 Nagsiling si Jesus sa iya, “Ako nga nagapakighambal sa imo subong amo ang ginasiling mo nga magaabot.”
27 Pagkasiling niya sini nag-abot dayon ang iya mga sumulunod. Natingala gid sila sang nakita nila nga nagapakighambal siya sa isa ka babayi. Pero wala gid sing bisan sin-o sa ila nga nagpamangkot sa babayi kon ano ang iya kinahanglan. Wala man sila nagpamangkot kay Jesus kon ngaa nagapakighambal siya sa babayi.
28 Dayon ginbilin sang babayi ang iya banga nga salag-uban kag nagbalik sa banwa. Pag-abot niya didto nagsiling dayon siya sa mga tawo, 29 “Dali bala kamo, tan-awa ninyo ang tawo nga nakahibalo sang tanan ko nga ginpanghimo. Basi kon amo na ini ang Cristo.” 30 Gani nagkadto ang mga tawo didto kay Jesus.
31 Samtang wala pa nag-alabot ang mga tawo didto kay Jesus, ginapilit si Jesus sang iya mga sumulunod nga magkaon na. 32 Pero nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “May pagkaon ako nga wala ninyo mahibalui.” 33 Gani nagpinamangkutanay ang iya mga sumulunod kon bala may nagdala sa iya sing pagkaon. 34 Nagsiling dayon si Jesus sa ila, “Ang akon kalan-on amo ang pagtuman sang kabubut-on sang nagpadala sa akon kag ang pagtapos sang buluhaton nga iya ginpahimo sa akon. 35 Indi bala nagasiling man kamo nga apat pa ka bulan bag-o mag-abot ang tig-alani. Pero kon sa akon lang, tig-alani na ini. Tan-awa bala ninyo ang madamo nga mga tawo nga nagaalabot! Kon sa mga alanihon pa, ina luto na gid, kag alanihon na.[c] 36 Kamo nga bilang mga manug-ani may pagabatunon kamo nga balos halin sa Dios. Kag ang mga tawo, nga bilang inyo ginaani, pagahatagan niya sing kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. Gani ang mga nagatanom sang pulong sang Dios kag ang mga nagaani sang bunga pareho nga magakalipay. 37 Matuod gid man ang ginasiling nga ‘lain ang nagatanom kag lain man ang nagaani.’ 38 Ang inyo halimbawa pareho sa mga manug-ani nga akon ginpadala nga mag-ani sa mga alanihon nga indi kamo ang nagtanom. Kay iban ang nagtudlo anay sa ila, kag kamo ang nakapulos sang ila pinangabudlayan.”
39 Madamo nga mga Samariahanon sa sadto nga lugar ang nagtuo kay Jesus tungod sa ginsugid sang babayi nga nahibaluan ni Jesus ang tanan niya nga ginpanghimo. 40 Gani pag-abot sang mga Samariahanon didto kay Jesus, ginpangabay gid nila siya nga kon mahimo magtiner siya anay didto sa ila. Gani nagtiner siya didto sing duha ka adlaw.
41 Tungod sa iya mga ginpanudlo, madamo pa gid nga mga tawo didto ang nagtuo sa iya. 42 Nagsiling dayon ang mga tawo sa babayi, “Karon nagatuo kami sa iya indi lang tungod sa imo ginsugid sa amon, kundi kami gid mismo nakabati sa iya. Kag nahibaluan namon nga siya amo ang Manluluwas sang kalibutan.”
Gin-ayo ni Jesus ang Anak sang Isa ka Opisyal
43 Pagkatapos sang duha ka adlaw nga pagtiner nila ni Jesus didto, nagpa-Galilea dayon sila. 44 (Si Jesus mismo ang nagsiling nga ang propeta sang Dios wala ginatahod sa iya kaugalingon nga banwa.) 45 Karon pag-abot nila sa Galilea, maayo ang pagbaton sa ila sang mga tawo. Kay ang ini nga mga tawo didto man sang pagpiesta sa Jerusalem kag nakita nila ang tanan nga iya ginpanghimo didto.
46 Nagbalik liwat si Jesus sa Cana nga sakop sang Galilea, sa lugar nga sa diin ginhimo niya nga bino ang tubig. Karon, may isa ka opisyal sang gobyerno didto nga ang iya anak nga lalaki nagamasakit didto sa Capernaum. 47 Pagkabati niya nga si Jesus nagbalik sa Galilea halin sa Judea, nagkadto dayon siya kay Jesus kag ginpangabay niya siya nga magkadto sa Capernaum kag ayuhon ang iya anak nga daw mapatay na gid. 48 Nagsiling si Jesus sa iya, “Kon indi kamo anay makakita sang mga milagro kag makatilingala nga mga butang, indi pa kamo magtuo sa akon.” 49 Pero nagsiling ang opisyal nga nagapakitluoy, “Sir, kon mahimo upod man anay sa akon samtang buhi pa ang akon anak.” 50 Nagsiling si Jesus sa iya, “Magpauli ka na. Maayo na ang imo bata.” Nagpati ang opisyal sa ginhambal ni Jesus sa iya, gani nagpauli siya dayon. 51 Samtang nagapauli siya, ginsugata siya sang iya mga suluguon kag ginsugiran nga ang iya anak maayo na. 52 Gani nagpamangkot siya kon ano nga oras nag-ayo ang iya anak. Nagsiling ang mga suluguon, “Mga ala una kahapon sang hapon wala na siya sing hilanat.” 53 Nadumduman dayon sang opisyal nga amo gid ato nga oras sang nagsiling si Jesus sa iya nga ang iya anak maayo na. Gani siya kag ang iya bug-os nga panimalay nagtuo kay Jesus.
54 Amo ini ang ikaduha nga milagro nga ginhimo ni Jesus sa Galilea sang paghalin niya sa Judea.
John 4
Contemporary English Version
4 Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was winning and baptizing more followers than John was. 2 But Jesus' disciples were really the ones doing the baptizing, and not Jesus himself.
Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
3 Jesus left Judea and started for Galilee again. 4 This time he had to go through Samaria, 5 (A) and on his way he came to the town of Sychar. It was near the field that Jacob had long ago given to his son Joseph. 6-8 The well that Jacob had dug was still there, and Jesus sat down beside it because he was tired from traveling. It was noon, and after Jesus' disciples had gone into town to buy some food, a Samaritan woman came to draw water from the well.
Jesus asked her, “Would you please give me a drink of water?”
9 (B) “You are a Jew,” she replied, “and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink of water when Jews and Samaritans won't have anything to do with each other?”[a]
10 Jesus answered, “You don't know what God wants to give you, and you don't know who is asking you for a drink. If you did, you would ask me for the water that gives life.”
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you don't even have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this life-giving water? 12 Our ancestor Jacob dug this well for us, and his family and animals got water from it. Are you greater than Jacob?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again. 14 But no one who drinks the water I give will ever be thirsty again. The water I give will become in that person a flowing fountain that gives eternal life.”
15 The woman replied, “Sir, please give me a drink of that water! Then I won't get thirsty and have to come to this well again.”
16 Jesus told her, “Go and bring your husband.”
17-18 The woman answered, “I don't have a husband.”
“That's right,” Jesus replied, “you're telling the truth. You don't have a husband. You have already been married five times, and the man you are now living with isn't your husband.”
19 The woman said, “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet. 20 My ancestors worshiped on this mountain,[b] but you Jews say Jerusalem is the only place to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her:
Believe me, the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans don't really know the one you worship. But we Jews do know the God we worship, and by using us, God will save the world. 23 But a time is coming, and it is already here! Even now the true worshipers are being led by the Spirit to worship the Father according to the truth. These are the ones the Father is seeking to worship him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.
25 The woman said, “I know that the Messiah will come. He is the one we call Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 “I am that one,” Jesus told her, “and I am speaking to you now.”
27 The disciples returned about this time and were surprised to find Jesus talking with a woman. But none of them asked him what he wanted or why he was talking with her.
28 The woman left her water jar and ran back into town, where she said to the people, 29 “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! Could he be the Messiah?” 30 Everyone in town went out to see Jesus.
31 While this was happening, Jesus' disciples were saying to him, “Teacher, please eat something.”
32 But Jesus told them, “I have food you don't know anything about.”
33 His disciples started asking each other, “Has someone brought him something to eat?”
34 Jesus said:
My food is to do what God wants! He is the one who sent me, and I must finish the work that he gave me to do. 35 You may say there are still four months until harvest time. But I tell you to look, and you will see that the fields are ripe and ready to harvest.
36 Even now the harvest workers are receiving their reward by gathering a harvest that brings eternal life. Then everyone who planted the seed and everyone who harvests the crop will celebrate together. 37 So the saying proves true, “Some plant the seed, and others harvest the crop.” 38 I am sending you to harvest crops in fields where others have done all the hard work.
39 A lot of Samaritans in that town put their faith in Jesus because the woman had said, “This man told me everything I have ever done.” 40 They came and asked him to stay in their town, and he stayed on for two days.
41 Many more Samaritans put their faith in Jesus because of what they heard him say. 42 They told the woman, “We no longer have faith in Jesus just because of what you told us. We have heard him ourselves, and we are certain that he is the Savior of the world!”
Jesus Heals an Official's Son
(Matthew 8.5-13; Luke 7.1-10)
43-44 (C) Jesus had said, “Prophets are honored everywhere, except in their own country.” Then two days later he left 45 (D) and went to Galilee. The people there welcomed him, because they had gone to the festival in Jerusalem and had seen everything he had done.
46 (E) While Jesus was in Galilee, he returned to the village of Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was an official in Capernaum whose son was sick. 47 And when the man heard that Jesus had come from Judea, he went and begged him to keep his son from dying.
48 Jesus told the official, “You won't have faith unless you see miracles and wonders!”
49 The man replied, “Lord, please come before my son dies!”
50 Jesus then said, “Your son will live. Go on home to him.” The man believed Jesus and started back home.
51 Some of the official's servants met him along the road and told him, “Your son is better!” 52 He asked them when the boy got better, and they answered, “The fever left him yesterday at one o'clock.”
53 The boy's father realized that at one o'clock the day before, Jesus had told him, “Your son will live!” So the man and everyone in his family put their faith in Jesus.
54 This was the second miracle[c] that Jesus worked after he left Judea and went to Galilee.

John 4
King James Version
4 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 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.
6 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.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 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.
10 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.
11 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?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 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.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 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.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27 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?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 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.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
39 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.
40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
42 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.
43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 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.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea 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.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 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.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 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.
53 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.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
