1-3 Mafarisayo asikira kukala Jesu anaphaha afuasi anji kuriko Johana na anaabatiza. (Ela si Jesu ariyekala anabatiza afuasie, ela anafundzie ndiokala anabatiza.) Jesu ariphomanya mambo higa, wauka Judea na achiuya jimbo ra Galilaya. 4 Jesu ariphokala anaphiya, yambidi atsupe na jimbo ra Samariya. 5 4:5 Mwandzo 33:19; Joshuwa 24:32Wafika Sukari, mudzi mmwenga wa jimbo ra Samariya, ambao kala u phephi na munda wa Yusufu ariokala akahewa ni ise Jakobo. 6 Phahi hipho kala phana chisima chokala cha Jakobo. Jesu wasagala hipho chisimani mana kala akaremwa na charo. Nayo kala ni kama saa sita za mutsi.

7-8 Anafundzie amricha hipho chisimani achiphiya mudzini kpwendagula chakurya. Badaye chidide, phachedza mchetu wa Chisamariya kuheka madzi. Jesu wamuamba yuya mchetu, “Nipha madzi ninwe.” 9 4:9 Ezira 4:1–5; Nehemia 4:1,2Yuya mchetu achiamba, “Uwe u Myahudi, nami ni mchetu wa Chisamariya, inakaladze unanivoya madzi ga kunwa?” (Wagomba hivyo mana Ayahudi na Asamariya kala taagbwirana.)

10 Jesu achimuamba, “Uwe kumanya zawadi ya Mlungu alavyayo kpwa anadamu wala kumanya akuvoyaye madzi ga kunwa ni ani. Kala unamanya, uwe ungemvoya iye akakupha madzi, naye angekupha madzi garehago uzima.” 11 Yuya mchetu achiamba, “Bwana kuna mwiyo wa kuhekera madzi na chisima chi ndani. Undagaphahadze go madzi garehago uzima? 12 Ama unalonda kudzihenda mkpwulu kuriko mkare wehu Jakobo? Iye wahurichira chisima hichi ambacho iye mwenye, anae na mifugoye, osi anwa madzi ga chisima hichi.”

13 Achiambwa, “Yeyesi ndiyenwa madzi higa nkukala na chiru tsona, 14 ela mutu ndiyenwa madzi ndigomupha mimi, kandahenda chiru hata kare na kare. Higo madzi ndigomupha gandakala dza pula za muho urehao uzima wa kare na kare.” 15 Yuya mchetu achiamba, “Bwana nakuvoya, uniphe madzi higo, ili nisikale na chiru tsona ama kpwedza hipha chisimani kuheka madzi.”

16 Jesu achiamba, “Phiya ukamuihe mlumeo wedze naye.” 17 Yuya mchetu achimuamba, “Sina mlume.” Achiambwa, “Ukagomba kpweli kabisa kukala kuna mlume. 18 Mana wahalwa ni alume atsano, na hata iye uriye naye, kayakulóla ela ni msena tu, wala siye mlumeo. Phahi uchivyogomba uwe ni kpweli tsetsetse!”

19 Yuya mchetu achiamba, “Bwana, naona kukala uwe u nabii. 20 Akare ehu aabudu dzulu ya mwango uhu, ela mwimwi Ayahudi mkuamba kukala Jerusalemu ndipho phatu pha atu kuabudu Mlungu.” 21 Jesu achimuamba, “Mayo! Amini nagokuambira, wakati uredza ambapho tamundamuabudu Baba dzulu ya mwango hinyu wala hiko Jerusalemu. 22 Mwimwi Asamariya tamummanya munayemuabudu, ela swiswi Ayahudi hunammanya humuabuduye, mana wokofu uredza kula kpwa Ayahudi. 23 Kuredza wakati, na wakati wenye ni uhu, wa Roho Mtakatifu kulongoza atu amuabudu Baba Mlungu chikpweli-kpweli. Mana hiye Baba anamendza atue amuabudu dza hivi. 24 Mlungu ni Roho, na atue achimuabudu ni lazima alongozwe ni Rohowe ili amuabudu chikpweli-kpweli.” 25 Yuya mchetu achiamba, “Namanya kukala kuredza Masihi. Ndiphofika andahueleza mambo gosi.” (Masihi manage ni Yetsambulwa ni Mlungu Kuokola Atu.) 26 Jesu achimuamba, “Mimi nigombaye, ndiye.”

27 Phapho hipho anafundzie achiuya. Ariphouya, achitezeka kumuona Jesu anabisha na mchetu. Ela taphana yemuuza yuya mchetu, “Unalondani?” Wala taphana ariyemuuza Jesu, “Kpwa utu wani unabisha naye?” 28 Phahi yuya mchetu waricha nyunguye ya madzi na achiphiya hiko mudzini, achendaambira atu, 29 “Ndzoni muone mutu achiyeniambira chila chitu nrichohenda. Kale mutu yuno ndiye Masihi?” 30 Atu akpwedza kula hiko mudzini kulola Jesu.

31 Wakati atu kala aredza kulola Jesu, anafundzie kala anamchenga-chenga kumuamba, “Mwalimu rya chakurya.” 32 Ela achiaambira, “Nina chakurya ambacho tamchimanya.” 33 Hara anafundzie achiuzana, “Kale kuna mutu achiyemrehera chakurya?” 34 Ndipho achiaeleza achiamba, “Chakurya changu ni kuhenda gara ambago nalagizwa ni iye ariyenihuma, na kumala kaziye. 35 Mwimwi mkuamba, ‘Sere miezi mine tu atu avune.’ Ela nakuambirani, ilolenito yo minda namwi mundaona! Lolani, mavuno ga tayari kuvunwa. 36 Avunadzi anahewa mshahara kpwa kazi ahendayo. Na mavuno avunago ni atu ambao andaphaha uzima wa kare na kare. Kpwa hivyo aphandaye na avunaye osi andahererwa. 37 Mnamanya msemo uambao, ‘Mmwenga nkuphanda na wanjina akavuna.’ Nayo ni kpweli! 38 Kpwa hivyo nákuhumani mkavune minda ambayo tamuiphandire mwimwi. Mana ariohenda kazi kpwa chadi ni anjina, namwi munavuna jasho rao.”

39 Asamariya anji kula mudzi hinyo amkuluphira Jesu kpwa sababu ya maneno arigogomba yuya mchetu. Mana kala akaambira, “Mutu hiyu akaniambira chila chitu nrichohenda.” 40 Phahi hinyo Asamariya ariphokpwedza kpwa Jesu, amʼbembeleza akale nao. Hipho wasagala nao siku mbiri, 41 na manenoge arigogomba gahenda atu anji sana amkuluphire. 42 Hara atu achimuamba yuya mchetu, “Hipha sambi hukaamini kpwa sababu hukamsikira enye na masikiro gehu, wala si kpwa sababu ya maneno uchigohuambira. Kpwa hivyo hunamanya kpwa kpweli, yuyu ndiye ndiyetivya atu duniani.”

43 Zira siku mbiri ambazo Jesu wakubali kusagala Samariya phosira, wauka achiphiya Galilaya. 44 4:44 Mathayo 13:57; Mariko 6:4; Luka 4:24Mana Jesu mwenye kala akaamba, “Nabii katogolwa phao laloni.” 45 4:45 Johana 2:23Atu a Galilaya kala akaphiya kuko Jerusalemu wakati wa Sikukuu ya Pasaka, nao kala akaona chila chitu ambacho Jesu kala akahenda hiko. Kpwa sababu ya higo, Jesu ariphofika Galilaya, atu amkaribisha vinono.

46 4:46 Johana 2:1–11Phahi Jesu ariphokala Galilaya, wauya mudzi wa Kana ambako kala akagaluza madzi kukala uchi. Kpwakala na mkpwulu wa jeshi ambaye kala ana mwana mkpwongo sana mudzi wa Kaperinaumu. 47 Ye mkpwulu wa jeshi ariphosikira kukala Jesu akedza Galilaya kula Judea, wamlunga kuko Kana. Ariphofika, wamvoya sana aphiye naye Kaperinaumu, ili akamuphoze mwanawe ambaye kala kamanyikana kutiya. 48 Jesu achimuamba, “Tamundaamini hadi muone vilinje na mambo ga kuangalaza!” 49 Ela yuya mkpwulu wa jeshi achimuamba, “Bwana, huphiye phamwenga kabila mwanangu kadzangbwekufwa.” 50 Achiambwa, “Phiya kaya; mwanao akaphola.” Naye achiamini maneno ga Jesu, achigbwira njira.

51 Siku ya phiriye, ariphokala achere njirani anauya kaya, wakutana na atumishie, achimuamba kukala mwanawe waphola. 52 Phahi waauza, “Waandza kuphola saa ngaphi?” Nao achimuamba, “Dzana saa sabaa za mutsi ndipho homa ramrichira.” 53 Ise wa yuya mwanache watambukira kukala uho ndio wakati ambao Jesu waamba, “Mwanao akaphola.” Kpwa hivyo iye na atue osi pho phakpwe kaya amkuluphira Jesu. 54 Chilinje hichi chakala ishara ya phiri, ambayo Jesu waihenda hiko Galilaya bada ya kuuya kula Judea.
