¹⁸Ee, omiire okuwa na awasaaza wataanu, kandi namba omusaaza owa omenyere nae nyingeeno oona ngʼari omusaaza waao yaaya. Kutio, ao owoorre kuwuene.”

¹⁹Omukazi oyo yamuirania otino, “Omukangasi, ni nkuwariira, mbona mbwe ori *omugambi.

²⁰Ifwe Awasamaria, waaguukwa wiifu waasawanga Katonda ku ekigiri kino. Ni inywe Awayaudi muwoola mbwe Yerusaleemu engʼene nio asi aa awantu wasugaane wasawire Katonda.”

²¹Yesu yamulaga otino, “Mukaziiwue, ganya ni inze ni nkulaga mbwe amiire gaaza aga awantu ngawarisawa Katonda Ise Yerusaleemu namba ku ekigiri kino engʼene.

²²Inywe Awasamaria musawa owa mutamanyire. Ni ifwe Awayaudi tusawa Katonda owa tumanyire aeniki omununuzi aema ku Awayaudi.

²³Amiire gaaza kandi gamiire okutuuka, aga awantu awasawa Katonda kuwuene waaza okumusawa na amaani agawaeerwe no *Omwoyo Omweru kandi mu engira eri kuwuene esugre ni kiomo ari. Awo niwo awa Katonda Ise aagala mbwe wamusawe.

²⁴Nintio aeniki Katonda ari omwoyo omusa, kutio omuntu oagala okumusawa paka amusawe na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru kandi mu engira eri kuwuene esugre nae.”

²⁵Omukazi oyo yamuirania otino, “Manyire mbwe *Meesia aaza okuuza” (eriina Meesia mu omunwa gundi ni *Kristo). “Na aaza okuuza, aaza okutulaga owuene owua amangʼana gano goona.”

²⁶Yesu yamuirania otino, “Inze ogamba-gamba ni iwue ono, ni inze iye.”

²⁷Ku enyinga ezio awalonzi awa Yesu waairana ni waema okugula okuria ku omugizi kandi waawa no okuluguula ino olwa waatuukra ni Yesu agamba-gamba no omukazi owa Awasamaria. Kukawa kutio, awulao owamuwuuzia ekia yamuagalangako nakuwa ekia yawoolanga nae.

²⁸Nikuemao, omukazi oyo yareka ao enswa yaae eya amanzi airana ku omugizi atanika okulaga awantu awa ku omugizi ogwo otino,

²⁹“Awiifu muuze muwoneko omuntu ondagre enkola ziange ziona ezia miire okuweerako ni nkola okuema ri! Muingirizia mbwe akawa Meesia?”

³⁰Awantu waafuma ku omugizi ogwo wagia aa Yesu yawanga.

³¹Mu iwaga erio kwatuukra na awalonzi awa Yesu wamuisasaama ni wamulaga watino, “Omugerezi toolako okuria orie!”

³²Ni iye yawairania otino, “Ndi no okuria okwa inywe mutamanyire.”

³³Awalonzi awo waatanika okuiwuuzia agati yaawu aweene watino, “Kusi ario omuntu omiire okumu-aa okuria ariire?”
