Yahaya 4:9-18

⁹Mwanamuka nSamariya ire akinjibu: “Umwe muwa Yahudi, omi niwa nSamariya. Munilebelaja maji a kunywa?” (Akisema javyo kamana Mayahudi na waSamariya awakipatana.)

¹⁰Insa akinjibu, akimwambira javi: “Kamba ukijiwa uwezo wa Mwenyezimungu, na ari kukulebela maji a kunywa‑yo, uwe ndi ukisaka kunlebela, na iye nanga kakupa maji a mainsha ako.”

¹¹Iye akimwambira: “Mwenye, umwe amuna ndoo, na nrimbu‑wu wica pakulu. Sambi maji akunipa mainsha‑yo, musaka kupata ndepi?

¹²Ewu nrimbu‑wu katipa babu yetu Yankubu. Wákinywanga iye na wanawe pamoja na mifuwo yake. Sambi, uwe kunzaidi iye?”

¹³Insa akinjibu, akamba: “Eya maji‑ya anywa onse iludira kunkola nyotwa tena.

¹⁴Fala munu akinywa maji animpa omi, ainludira futi kunkola nyotwa kwa milele. Kwasa javyo, maji animpa omi, kwake iye antadukira kuwa nviriro wakububuka mainsha a milele.”

¹⁵Mwanamuka ire akimwambira: “Mwenye, nimere noyo maji‑yo ipate isinikore nyotwa tena, wala nisije epa tena kuteka maji!”

¹⁶Insa akimwambira: “Uka ukamwite nlumako, muje onse.”

¹⁷Mwanamuka ire akinjibu, akamba: “Omi sina nlume.” Insa akimwitikizira: “Kusowera sana kwamba: ‘Omi sina nlume’.

¹⁸Kwa kuwa úkiwa nawo walume watanu. Na nlume waúri nawo sambi‑yo siyo nlumako. Epo kusowera kweli yako!”
