| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | እንግዲህ። ኢየሱስ ከዮሐንስ ይልቅ ደቀ መዛሙርት ያደርጋል ያጠምቅማል ማለትን ፈሪሳውያን እንደ ሰሙ ጌታ ባወቀ ጊዜ፥ | When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, |
| 2 | ይሁዳን ትቶ ወደ ገሊላ ደግሞ ሄደ፤ ዳሩ ግን ደቀ መዛሙርቱ እንጂ ኢየሱስ ራሱ አላጠመቀም። | (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) |
| 4 | በሰማርያም ሊያልፍ ግድ ሆነበት። | And he must needs go through Samaria. |
| 5 | ስለዚህ ያዕቆብ ለልጁ ለዮሴፍ በሰጠው ስፍራ አጠገብ ወደምትሆን ሲካር ወደምትባል የሰማርያ ከተማ መጣ፤ | 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 | በዚያም የያዕቆብ ጕድጓድ ነበረ። ኢየሱስም መንገድ ከመሄድ ደክሞ በጕድጓድ አጠገብ እንዲህ ተቀመጠ፤ ጊዜውም ስድስት ሰዓት ያህል ነበረ። | 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 | ከሰማርያ አንዲት ሴት ውኃ ልትቀዳ መጣች። ኢየሱስም። ውኃ አጠጪኝ አላት፤ | There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. |
| 8 | ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ምግብ ሊገዙ ወደ ከተማ ሄደው ነበርና። | (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) |
| 9 | ስለዚህ ሳምራዊቲቱ። አንተ የይሁዳ ሰው ስትሆን ሳምራዊት ሴት ከምሆን ከእኔ መጠጥ እንዴት ትለምናለህ? አለችው፤ አይሁድ ከሳምራውያን ጋር አይተባበሩም ነበርና። | 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 | ኢየሱስ መልሶ። የእግዚአብሔርን ስጦታና። ውኃ አጠጪኝ የሚልሽ ማን መሆኑንስ ብታውቂ፥ አንቺ ትለምኚው ነበርሽ የሕይወትም ውኃ ይሰጥሽ ነበር አላት። | 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 | ሴቲቱ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ መቅጃ የለህም ጕድጓዱም ጥልቅ ነው፤ እንግዲህ የሕይወት ውኃ ከወዴት ታገኛለህ? | 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 | በእውኑ አንተ ይህን ጕድጓድ ከሰጠን ከአባታችን ከያዕቆብ ትበልጣለህን? ራሱም ልጆቹም ከብቶቹም ከዚህ ጠጥተዋል አለችው። | Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? |
| 13 | ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ከዚህ ውኃ የሚጠጣ ሁሉ እንደ ገና ይጠማል፤ | Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: |
| 14 | እኔ ከምሰጠው ውኃ የሚጠጣ ሁሉ ግን ለዘላለም አይጠማም፥ እኔ የምሰጠው ውኃ በእርሱ ውስጥ ለዘላለም ሕይወት የሚፈልቅ የውኃ ምንጭ ይሆናል እንጂ አላት። | 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 | ሴቲቱ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ እንዳልጠማ ውኃም ልቀዳ ወደዚህ እንዳልመጣ ይህን ውኃ ስጠኝ አለችው። | The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. |
| 16 | ኢየሱስም። ሂጂና ባልሽን ጠርተሽ ወደዚህ ነዪ አላት። | Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. |
| 17 | ሴቲቱ መልሳ። ባል የለኝም አለችው። ኢየሱስ። ባል የለኝም በማለትሽ መልካም ተናገርሽ፤ | The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: |
| 18 | አምስት ባሎች ነበሩሽና፥ አሁን ከአንቺ ጋር ያለው ባልሽ አይደለም፤ በዚህስ እውነት ተናገርሽ አላት። | For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. |
| 19 | ሴቲቱ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አንተ ነቢይ እንደ ሆንህ አያለሁ። | The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. |
| 20 | አባቶቻችን በዚህ ተራራ ሰገዱ፤ እናንተም። ሰው ሊሰግድበት የሚገባው ስፍራ በኢየሩሳሌም ነው ትላላችሁ አለችው። | Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. |
| 21 | ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አላት። አንቺ ሴት፥ እመኚኝ፥ በዚህ ተራራ ወይም በኢየሩሳሌም ለአብ የማትሰግዱበት ጊዜ ይመጣል። | 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 | እናንተስ ለማታውቁት ትሰግዳላችሁ፤ እኛ መዳን ከአይሁድ ነውና ለምናውቀው እንሰግዳለን። | Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. |
| 23 | ነገር ግን በእውነት የሚሰግዱ ለአብ በመንፈስና በእውነት የሚሰግዱበት ጊዜ ይመጣል አሁንም ሆኖአል፤ አብ ሊሰግዱለት እንደ እነዚህ ያሉትን ይሻልና፤ | 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 | እግዚአብሔር መንፈስ ነው፥ የሚሰግዱለትም በመንፈስና በእውነት ሊሰግዱለት ያስፈልጋቸዋል። | God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. |
| 25 | ሴቲቱ። ክርስቶስ የሚባል መሲሕ እንዲመጣ አውቃለሁ፤ እርሱ ሲመጣ ሁሉን ይነግረናል አለችው። | 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 | ኢየሱስ። የምናገርሽ እኔ እርሱ ነኝ አላት። | Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. |
| 27 | በዚያም ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ መጡና ከሴት ጋር በመነጋገሩ ተደነቁ፤ ነገር ግን። ምን ትፈልጊያለሽ? ወይም። ስለ ምን ትናገራታለህ? ያለ ማንም አልነበረም። | 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 | ሴቲቱም እንስራዋን ትታ ወደ ከተማ ሄደች ለሰዎችም። | The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, |
| 29 | ያደረግሁትን ሁሉ የነገረኝን ሰው ኑና እዩ፤ እንጃ እርሱ ክርስቶስ ይሆንን? አለች። | Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? |
| 30 | ከከተማ ወጥተው ወደ እርሱ ይመጡ ነበር። | Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. |
| 31 | ይህም ሲሆን ሳለ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ። መምህር ሆይ፥ ብላ ብለው ለመኑት። | In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. |
| 32 | እርሱ ግን። እናንተ የማታውቁት የምበላው መብል ለእኔ አለኝ አላቸው። | But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. |
| 33 | ስለዚህ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ። የሚበላው አንዳች ሰው አምጥቶለት ይሆንን? ተባባሉ። | Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? |
| 34 | ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አላቸው። የእኔስ መብል የላከኝን ፈቃድ አደርግ ዘንድ ሥራውንም እፈጽም ዘንድ ነው። | Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. |
| 35 | እናንተ። ገና አራት ወር ቀርቶአል መከርም ይመጣል ትሉ የለምን? እነሆ እላችኋለሁ፥ ዓይናችሁን አንሡ አዝመራውም አሁን እንደ ነጣ እርሻውን ተመልከቱ። | 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 | የሚያጭድ ደመወዝን ይቀበላል፥ የሚዘራና የሚያጭድም አብረው ደስ እንዲላቸው ለዘላለም ሕይወት ፍሬን ይሰበስባል። | 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 | አንዱ ይዘራል አንዱም ያጭዳል የሚለው ቃል በዚህ እውነት ሆኖአልና። | And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. |
| 38 | እኔም እናንተ ያልደከማችሁበትን ታጭዱ ዘንድ ሰደድኋችሁ፤ ሌሎች ደከሙ እናንተም በድካማቸው ገባችሁ። | I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. |
| 39 | ሴቲቱም። ያደረግሁትን ሁሉ ነገረኝ ብላ ስለ መሰከረችው ቃል ከዚያች ከተማ የሰማርያ ሰዎች ብዙ አመኑበት። | 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 | የሰማርያ ሰዎችም ወደ እርሱ በመጡ ጊዜ በእነርሱ ዘንድ እንዲኖር ለመኑት፤ በዚያም ሁለት ቀን ያህል ኖረ። | So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. |
| 41 | ስለ ቃሉ ከፊተኞች ይልቅ ብዙ ሰዎች አመኑ፤ | And many more believed because of his own word; |
| 42 | ሴቲቱንም። አሁን የምናምን ስለ ቃልሽ አይደለም፥ እኛ ራሳችን ሰምተነዋልና፤ እርሱም በእውነት ክርስቶስ የዓለም መድኃኒት እንደ ሆነ እናውቃለን ይሉአት ነበር። | 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 | ከሁለቱ ቀኖችም በኋላ ከዚያ ወጥቶ ወደ ገሊላ ሄደ። | Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. |
| 44 | ነቢይ በገዛ አገሩ እንዳይከበር ኢየሱስ ራሱ መስክሮአልና። | For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. |
| 45 | ወደ ገሊላም በመጣ ጊዜ፥ የገሊላ ሰዎች ራሳቸው ደግሞ ለበዓል መጥተው ነበርና በበዓል በኢየሩሳሌም ያደረገውን ሁሉ ስላዩ ተቀበሉት። | 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 | ኢየሱስም ውኃውን የወይን ጠጅ ወዳደረገባት ወደ ገሊላ ቃና ዳግመኛ መጣ። በቅፍርናሆምም ልጁ የታመመበት ከንጉሥ ቤት አንድ ሹም ነበረ። | 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 | እርሱም ኢየሱስ ከይሁዳ ወደ ገሊላ እንደ መጣ ሰምቶ ልጁ ሊሞት ስላለው ወደ እርሱ ሄደ ወርዶም እንዲፈውስለት ለመነው። | 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 | ስለዚህም ኢየሱስ። ምልክትና ድንቅ ነገር ካላያችሁ ከቶ አታምኑም አለው። | Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. |
| 49 | ሹሙም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ብላቴናዬ ሳይሞት ውረድ አለው። | The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. |
| 50 | ኢየሱስም። ሂድ፤ ልጅህ በሕይወት አለ አለው። ሰውዬውም ኢየሱስ የነገረውን ቃል አምኖ ሄደ። | 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 | እርሱም ሲወርድ ሳለ ባሮቹ ተገናኙትና። ብላቴናህ በሕይወት አለ ብለው ነገሩት። | And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. |
| 52 | እርሱም በጎ የሆነበትን ሰዓት ጠየቃቸው፤ እነርሱም። ትናንት በሰባት ሰዓት ንዳዱ ለቀቀው አሉት። | Then inquired 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 | አባቱም ኢየሱስ። ልጅህ በሕይወት አለ ባለው በዚያ ሰዓት እንደ ሆነ አወቀ፤ እርሱም ከቤተ ሰዎቹ ሁሉ ጋር አመነ። | 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 | ይህም ደግሞ ኢየሱስ ከይሁዳ ወደ ገሊላ መጥቶ ያደረገው ሁለተኛ ምልክት ነው። | This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. |
| 3 | He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. |
