Yohani 4:18-45

¹⁸Guyugwa na wapalu wamuhanu, yomberi yagulikala nayu vinu, mpalu gwaku ndiri. Gung'ambira nakaka.”

¹⁹Mdala uliya kamgambira, “Mtuwa, mona gwenga gwa mbuyi gwa Mlungu.

²⁰Wambuyi wangu wa Samariya wamguwiriti Mlungu mulugongu alu, su mwenga Wayawudi mlonga kuwera Yerusalemu ndo pahala pa kumwabudu Mlungu.”

²¹Yesu kamgambira, “Mdala, gunjimira, shipindi shankwiza ndo sheni wantu hapeni wamguwira Tati mulugongu alu ama ku Yerusalemu.

²²Mwenga Wasamaliya muvimana ndiri nakaka yawamguwira, kumbiti twenga Wayawudi tumumana yatumguwira, toziya ulopoziya wiza kulawa kwa Wayawudi.

²³Kumbiti shipindi shankwiza na kayi shisoka kala, peni wawamguwira nakaka, hawamguwili Tati kwa likakala lya Rohu, wantu wamguwira hangu ndo Tati yakawafira.

²⁴Mlungu ndo Rohu, na wantu hawawezi hera kumwabudu nakaka kwa likakala lya Rowu gwakuwi.”

²⁵Mdala ulii kamgambira, “Nuvimana kuwera Kristu Mlopoziya yakasyagulitwi hakizi na pakiza hakatugambiri twenga kila shintu.”

²⁶Yesu kamgambira, “Neni, ndo yantakula na gwenga.”

²⁷Shipindi shila shilii wafundwa wa Yesu wawuyiti na waweriti na likangasha likulu pawamwona Yesu pakatakula na mdala. Kwehera yumu pakati pawu yakamgambiriti mdala ulii, “Gufira shishi?” Ama kumkosiya Yesu, “Iwera hashi gwankutakula na mdala ayu?”

²⁸Su, mdala uliya kaileka vulu yakuwi, kagenda mulushi na kuwagambira wantu,

²⁹“Mwizi mloli muntu yakang'ambiriti vitwatira vyoseri vyantenditi. Hashi, iwezikana yomberi kawera Kristu yakasyagulitwi na Mlungu?”

³⁰Wantu walawa mulushi, wamgendera Yesu.

³¹Shipindi shila shiriya wafundwa waweriti wankumuhiga Yesu, “mfunda, gulii shiboga!”

³²Su Yesu kawankula, “Neni nana shiboga shamshimana ndiri.”

³³Wafundwa wakuwi walitakuziyana weni, “Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri yakamjegiriti shiboga?”

³⁴Yesu kawagambira, “Shiboga shaneni ndo kugajimira gakafira ulii yakantumiti neni na kumalira lihengu lyakanupiti kutenda.

³⁵Mwenga mtakula, ‘Kunkali myezi ya msheshi hera, shipindi sha kubenanga hashisoki.’ Su nukugambirani, mloli marambu, viboga vinu vipiya kala na viwera kala kubenanga!

³⁶Yakabena viboga kankupata shibenamgongu na kankujojinira viboga kwa mashaka goseri, su yumonga yakayala na ulii yakabena hawanemeleri pamuhera.

³⁷Kutakula aku kwa nakaka, ‘Yumu kayalaga na yumonga kabenaga.’

³⁸Neni nuwatumiti mwenga mwakabeni viboga mulirambu mtenda ndiri lihengu, wamonga watenditi lihengu kulii na mwenga muna mota kulawirana na lihengu lyawatenditi.”

³⁹Wasamariya wavuwa mulushi lulii wamjimiriti Yesu toziya mdala uliya katakuliti, “Kang'ambiriti neni shintu shoseri shantenditi.”

⁴⁰Su Wasamariya pawamgendiriti Yesu, wamuluwiti yomberi kalikali pamuhera na womberi na Yesu kalikaliti kulii mashaka mawili.

⁴¹Wantu wavuwa wamjimiriti toziya ya ujumbi wakuwi,

⁴²na womberi wamgambira mdala uliya, “Vinu twenga tujimira, toziya ndiri ya shilii shagutakuliti, ira toziya twenga tumpikanira twaweni na tuvimana kuwera nakaka ndo Mlopoziya gwa pasipanu.”

⁴³Pagapititi mashaka mawili, Yesu kawukiti paliya na kugenda Galilaya.

⁴⁴Mana Yesu mweni katakuliti, “Mbuyi gwa Mlungu hapeni kapananwi ligoya muisi yakuwi.”

⁴⁵Pakafikiti Galilaya, wantu wa paliya wamshemiriti, toziya pawaweriti mumsambu gwa Pasaka kulii Yerusalemu wawonaga vitwatira vyoseri vyakatenditi Yesu shipindi sha msambu.
