Yohana 4:8-19

⁸Kipindi acho wanahina zake wakala wacholile kudibuga kugula chakuja.

⁹Mtwanzi ayo kamwidika, “Gweye kwa Muyahudi na niye na Msamalia. Kodahaze kumhula mazi ga kung'wa?” Kwavija Wayahudi hawajaga hamoja na Wasamalia.

¹⁰Yesu kamwidika, “Maza ujuwile choolava Mulungu, na maza ujuwile nani yokupula mazi ga kung'wa, wahampulile, nayo yahakugwelele mazi gogala ugima.”

¹¹Mtwanzi ayo kamulongela, “Go mkulu, gweye kuduhu doo, na sima dino dingila ng'hani. Wahagapatile kwahi mazi gago gogala ugima?

¹²Vino gweye kwa mkulu kubanza tata yetu Yakobo yatugwelele sima dino? Heyo mwenyego hamoja na wanage na fugo yake yose wang'wa mazi ga mdisima dino!”

¹³Yesu kamwidika, “Wanhu wose wong'wa mazi gano wokona ng'hilu kabili,

¹⁴lakini munhu yoyose yong'wa mazi gonda nimgwelele, honda yaone ng'hilu kabili. Mazi gonda nimgwelele niye gokuwa nzasa ya mazi gogala ugima wa mazuwa gose mgati mmwake.”

¹⁵Mtwanzi ayo kalonga, “Go mkulu, nigwee mazi gago muladi sekeniwe na ng'hilu kabili, na ndeke kwiza hano kudeha mazi.”

¹⁶Yesu kamulongela, “Genda kamkeme mkasano wako, na wize nayo.”

¹⁷Mtwanzi ayo kamwidika, “Naduhu mkasano.” Yesu kamulongela, “Kulonga goya kuduhu mkasano.

¹⁸Kusoligwa na wakasano watano, na mbigalo yuukala nayo sambi siyo mkasano wako. Kunongela goya.”

¹⁹Mtwanzi ayo kalonga, “Go mkulu, vinikona gweye kwa mtula ndagu.
