1 و َعَلِمَ يَسُوعُ أنَّ الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ سَمِعُوا أنَّهُ كانَ يُتَلْمِذُ وَيُعَمِّدُ أشْخاصاً أكْثَرَ مِنْ يُوحَنّا،

¶ When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John

2 م َعَ أنَّ يَسُوعَ نَفْسَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُعَمِّدُ، بَلْ تَلامِيْذُهُ.

(though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),

3 ف َغادَرَ يَسُوعُ إقلِيْمَ اليَهُودِيَّةِ وَعادَ ثانِيَةً إلَى إقلِيْمِ الجَلِيلِ.

he left Judaea and departed again into Galilee.

4 و َكانَ مِنَ الضَّرُورِيِّ أنْ يَمُرَّ عَبْرَ إقلِيْمِ السّامِرَةِ.

¶ And it was necessary that he go through Samaria.

5 ف َوَصَلَ إلَى بَلْدَةٍ سامِرِيَّةٍ تَدْعَى سُوخارَ. وَهِيَ قُرْبَ الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطاها يَعْقُوبُ لابْنِهِ يُوسُفَ.

Then he came to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 و َكانَتْ بِئْرُ يَعْقُوبَ هُناكَ. فَجَلَسَ يَسُوعُ عِنْدَ البِئْرِ لِأنَّهُ كانَ مُتْعَباً مِنَ المَسِيْرِ. وَكانَ الوَقْتُ نَحْوَ الثّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ ظُهْراً.

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 ف َجاءَتِ امْرأةٌ سامِرِيَّةٌ لِتَأْخُذَ ماءً مِنَ البِئْرِ. فَقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «أعطِيْنِي لِأشْرَبَ.»

There came a woman of Samaria to draw water; Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink.

8 و َكانَ التَّلامِيْذُ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا إلَى المَدِيْنَةِ لِيَشْتَرُوا طَعاماً.

(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.)

9 ف َقالَتْ لَهُ المَرأةُ السّامِرِيَّةُ: «أنتَ يَهُودِيٌّ، وَأنا امْرأةٌ سامِرِيَّةٌ. فَكَيْفَ تَطلُبُ مِنِّي أنْ أُعطِيَكَ لِتَشْرَبَ؟» قالَتِ المَرأةُ هَذا لِأنَّ اليَهُودَ يَرْفُضُونَ أنْ يَختَلِطُوا بِالسّامِرِيِّيْنَ.

Then said the Samaritan woman unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 ف َأجابَها يَسُوعُ: «أنتِ لا تَعْرِفِيْنَ ما يُعْطِيْهِ اللهُ، وَلا تَعْرِفِيْنَ مَنِ الَّذِي يَقُولُ لَكِ: أعطِيْنِي لِأشْرَبَ. فَلَو عَرَفتِ، لَطَلَبتِ أنتِ مِنهُ، وَلأعطاكِ ماءً مُحْيياً.»

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 ف َقالَت لَهُ المَرأةُ: «لَيسَ لَديكَ دَلوٌ يا سَيِّدْ، وَالبِئرُ عَميقَةٌ. فَكَيفَ سَتَحصُلُ عَلَى مِثلِ ذَلِكَ الماءِ؟ لا أظُنُّكَ أعظَمَ مِنْ أبينا يَعْقُوبَ!

The woman said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; from where then hast thou that living water?

12 ف َهُوَ الَّذِي أعطانا هَذِهِ البِئْرَ، وَقَدْ شَرِبَ مِنْها هُوَ وَأبْناؤُهُ وَمَواشِيْهِ.»

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof himself, and his sons and his cattle?

13 ف َأجابَها يَسُوعُ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ هَذا الماءِ سَيَعطَشُ ثانِيَةً،

Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again,

14 أ مّا مَنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنَ الماءِ الَّذِي أُعطِيْهِ إيّاهُ أنا، فَلَنْ يَعطَشَ أبَداً، بَلْ يَصِيْرُ الماءُ الَّذِي أُعطِيْهِ نَبْعاً فِي داخِلِهِ، وَيَتَدَفَّقُ مُعطِياً حَياةً أبَدِيَّةً.»

but whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.

15 ف َقالَتْ لَهُ المَرأةُ: «أعطِنِي هَذا الماءَ يا سَيِّدُ، فَلا أعطَشُ أبَداً وَلا أعُودُ إلَى هُنا طَلَباً لِلماءِ.»

The woman said unto him, Lord, give me this water, that I not thirst, neither come here to draw.

16 ف َقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «اذْهَبِي وَنادِي زَوْجَكِ وَتَعالا إلَى هُنا.»

Jesus said unto her, Go, call thy husband and come here.

17 ف َقالَتِ المَرأةُ: «لا زَوْجَ لِي!» فَقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «أصَبْتِ بِقَولِكِ: ‹لا زَوْجَ لِيْ.›

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband;

18 ف َقَدْ كانَ لَكِ خَمْسَةُ أزواجٍ، أمّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي تَعِيْشِيْنَ مَعَهُ الآنَ، فَلَيْسَ زَوْجَكِ! فَقَدْ صَدَقْتِ.»

for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said with truth.

19 ق الَتِ المَرأةُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، لا بُدَّ أنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ!

The woman said unto him, Lord, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20 ل َقَدْ عَبَدَ آباؤُنا السّامِرِيُّونَ اللهَ عَلَى هَذا الجَبَلِ، أمّا أنتُمُ اليَهُودَ فَتَقُولُونَ إنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي لِلنّاسِ أنْ يَعبُدُوا اللهَ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ!»

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.

21 ف َقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «يا امْرأةُ، صَدِّقِيْنِي أنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي الوَقْتُ حِيْنَ سَتَعْبُدُونَ الآبَ لا عَلَى هَذا الجَبَلِ وَلا فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem shall ye worship the Father.

22 أ نتُمُ السّامِرِيِّيْنَ تَعبُدُونَ ما لا تَعْرِفُونَ، أمّا نَحنُ اليَهُودَ فَنَعْرِفُ ما نَعْبُدُ، لِأنَّ الخَلاصَ يَأْتِي مِنَ اليَهُودِ.

Ye worship what ye know not; we worship what we know, for saving health is of the Jews.

23 و َلَكِنْ سَيَأْتِي وَقْتٌ، بَلْ أتَى الآنَ، حِيْنَ يَعْبُدُ العابِدُونَ الحَقِيْقِيُّونَ الآبَ عِبادَةً رُوحِيَّةً وَحَقِيْقِيَّةً. فَهَكَذا يُرِيْدُ الآبُ أنْ يَكُونَ عابِدُوهُ.

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such to worship him.

24 ا للهُ رُوحٌ، وَالَّذِيْنَ يَعْبُدُونَهُ يَنبَغِي أنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ بِالرُّوحِ وَالحَقِّ.»

God is a Spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

25 ف َقالَتْ: «أنا أعرِفُ أنَّ مَشِيْحا – أيِ المَسِيْحَ – سَيَأْتِي. وَحِيْنَ يَأْتِي سَيُخبِرُنا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ.»

The woman said unto him, I know that the Messiah is to come, who is called the Christ; when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.

26 ق الَ يَسُوعُ: «أنا هُوَ الَّذِي أُكَلِّمُكِ.»

Jesus said unto her, I AM that speak unto thee.

27 و َفِي تِلْكَ اللَّحظَةِ وَصَلَ تَلامِيْذُهُ، وَدُهِشُوا جِدّاً لِأنَّهُ كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَ امْرأةٍ. لَكِنْ لَمْ يَسْألْهُ أحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ: «ما الَّذِي تُرِيْدُهُ مِنْها؟» أوْ «لِماذا تُكَلِّمُها؟»

¶ And upon this came his disciples and marvelled that he talked with that woman; yet no one said, What askest thou? or, What talkest thou with her?

28 أ مّا المَرأةُ فَقَدْ تَرَكَتْ جَرَّتَها، وَعادَتْ إلَى البَلْدَةِ وَقالَتْ لِلنّاسِ:

The woman then left her waterpot and went into the city and said to those men,

29 « تَعالَوا لِتَرَوا إنساناً أخبَرَنِي بِكُلِّ ما فَعَلْتُ فِي حَياتِي! أيُمْكِنُ أنْ يَكُونَ هُوَ المَسِيْحَ؟»

Come, see a man who told me all that I have done; is perchance this the Christ?

30 ف َتَرَكُوا بَلْدَتَهُمْ وَذَهَبُوا إلَيْهِ.

Then they went out of the city and came unto him.

31 و َفِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، كانَ تَلامِيْذُهُ يَحُثُّونَهُ وَيَقولونَ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، كُلْ شَيْئاً!»

In the meanwhile his disciples entreated him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

32 ل َكِنَّهُ قالَ لَهُمْ: «عِندِي طَعامٌ لِآكُلَهُ لا تَعْرِفُونَ عَنْهُ شَيْئاً.»

But he said unto them, I have a food to eat that ye know not of.

33 ف َأخَذَ تَلامِيْذُهُ يَتَساءَلُونَ فِيْما بَيْنَهُمْ: «أيُمْكِنُ أنْ يَكُونَ أحَدٌ قَدْ أحضَرَ إلَيْهِ طَعاماً؟»

Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has anyone brought him anything to eat?

34 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «طَعامِي هُوَ تَنفِيْذُ إرادَةِ ذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي، وَإتمامُ العَمَلِ الَّذِي كَلَّفَنِي بِعَمَلِهِ.

Jesus said unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.

35 أ نتُمْ تَقُولُونَ حِيْنَ تَزْرَعُونَ: ‹سَيَأْتِي الحَصادُ بَعْدَ أربَعَةِ أشْهُرٍ.› وَأنا أقُولُ لَكُمْ: افْتَحُوا عُيُونَكُمْ وَانظُرُوا إلَى الحُقُولِ. إنَّها الآنَ ناضِجَةٌ لِلحَصادِ.

Do ye not say, There are yet four months and then comes harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest.

36 و َالحاصِدُ يَأْخُذُ أجرَهُ وَيَجْمَعُ مَحصُولاً لِلحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ. وَهَكَذا يَفْرَحُ الزّارِعُ وَالحاصِدُ مَعاً.

And he that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto eternal life, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.

37 و َيَصْدُقُ المَثَلُ القائِلُ: ‹واحِدٌ يَزْرَعُ وَآخَرُ يَحصُدُ.›

And herein is that saying true, One sows and another reaps.

38 و َأنا أرسَلْتُكُمْ لِتَحصُدُوا مَحصُولاً لَمْ تَتعَبُوا فِيْهِ. فَقَدْ تَعِبَ فِيْهِ آخَرُونَ، وَانتَفَعْتُمْ أنتُمْ مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ.»

I have sent you to reap that upon which ye bestowed no labour; others laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.

39 ف َآمَنَ بِهِ سامِرِيُّونَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنْ تِلْكَ البَلْدَةِ بِسَبَبِ ما قالَتْهُ المَرأةُ فِي شَهادَتِها: «أخبَرَنِي بِكُلِّ ما فَعَلْتُ فِي حَياتِي!»

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him by the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all that I have done.

40 و َعِندَما جاءَ إلَيْهِ السّامِرِيُّونَ، طَلَبُوا إليهِ أنْ يَبْقَى مَعَهُمْ، فَأقامَ هُناكَ يَوْمَيْنِ.

So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they asked him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.

41 ف َتَكاثَرَ جِدّاً عَدَدُ الَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوا بِهِ بِسَبَبِ كَلامِهِ.

And many more believed by his own word

42 و َقالُوا لِلمَرأةِ: «لَمْ نَعُدْ نُؤْمِنُ بِناءً عَلَى كَلامِكِ، لِأنَّنا سَمِعْناهُ بِأنفُسِنا. وَنَحنُ نَعلَمُ الآنَ أنَّ هَذا الإنسانَ هُوَ حَقّاً مُخَلِّصُ العالَمِ.» يَسُوعُ يَشْفِي ابْنَ أحَدِ رِجالِ المَلِك

and said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speech; for we have heard him ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

43 و َلَمّا انقَضَى اليَوْمانِ، غادَرَ يَسُوعُ إقلِيْمَ السّامِرَةِ وَذَهَبَ إلَى إقلِيْمِ الجَلِيلِ.

¶ Now after two days he departed from that place and went into Galilee.

44 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ قَدْ أقَرَّ بِأنَّهُ لا كَرامَةَ لِنَبِيٍّ فِي وَطَنِهِ.

For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honour in his own country.

45 ل َكِنَّ أهلَ الجَلِيلِ كانُوا قَدْ ذَهَبُوا إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ وَرَأَوْا كُلَّ ما فَعَلَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ. لِذَلِكَ فَقَدْ رَحَّبُوا بِهِ عِنْدَما جاءَ إلَى الجَلِيلِ.

Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had also gone to the feast.

46 و َمَرَّةً أُخْرَى ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَلْدَةِ قانا فِي الجَلِيلِ حَيْثُ كانَ قَدْ حَوَّلَ الماءَ إلَى نَبيذٍ. وَكانَ فِي مَدِيْنَةِ كَفْرِناحُومَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حاشِيَةِ المَلِكِ، وَكانَ ابْنُهُ مَرِيْضاً.

So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

47 ف َلَمّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أنَّ يَسُوعَ قَدْ أتَى إلَى الجَلِيلِ مِنَ اليَهُودِيَّةِ، جاءَ إلَيْهِ يَرْجُوهُ أنْ يَذْهَبَ إلَى كَفْرِناحُومَ وَيَشْفِي ابْنَهُ الَّذِي أوشَكَ أنْ يَمُوتَ.

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 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أنتُمْ لا تُؤْمِنُونَ ما لَمْ تَرَوا بُرْهانَ المُعجِزاتِ وَالعَجائِبَ!»

Then Jesus said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

49 ف َقالَ الرَّجُلُ لِيَسُوعَ: «أرجُوكَ تَعالَ يا سَيِّدُ قَبلَ أنْ يَمُوتَ وَلَدِي!»

The nobleman said unto him, Sir, come down before my child dies.

50 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «اذْهَبْ إلَى بَيْتِكَ. ابْنُكَ سَيَعِيْشُ.» فَآمَنَ الرَّجُلُ بِما قالَهُ لَهُ يَسُوعُ وَذَهَبَ.

Jesus said unto him, Go; thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke unto him, and he went.

51 و َبَيْنَما كانَ عائِداً إلَى بَيْتِهِ، لاقاهُ خُدّامُهُ وَقالُوا لَهُ إنَّ ابْنَهُ مُعافَى.

And as he was now going down, his slaves met him and told him, saying, Thy son lives.

52 ف َاسْتَفْسَرَ مِنْهُمْ عَنِ الوَقْتِ الَّذِي بَدَأ فِيْهِ ابْنُهُ يَتَعافَى، فَقالُوا: «زالَتْ حَرارَتُهُ فِي السّاعَةِ الواحِدَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ ظُهْرِ الأمْسِ.»

Then he enquired of them the hour when he began to get better. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

53 ف َأدرَكَ أبُو الطِّفلِ أنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الوَقْتُ نَفْسُهُ الَّذِي قالَ لَهُ فِيْهِ يَسُوعَ: «ابْنُكَ سَيَعِيْشُ.» فَآمَنَ هُوَ وَعائِلَتُهُ كُلُّها.

So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son lives; and he believed, and his whole house.

54 ك انَتْ هَذِهِ المُعجِزَةَ الثّانِيَةَ الَّتِي صَنَعَها يَسُوعُ بَعْدَ مَجِيئِهِ مِنَ اليَهُودِيَّةِ إلَى الجَلِيلِ.

This again is the second sign that Jesus did when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
