1 A , no ka mohio te Ariki, kua rongo nga Parihi, ko nga akonga a Ihu i mea ai, i iriiri ai, he tokomaha atu i a Hoani,

Now when the Lord knew (learned, became aware) that the Pharisees had been told that Jesus was winning and baptizing more disciples than John—

2 H e ahakoa ra ehara i a Ihu nana i iriiri, na ana akonga ia,

Though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples—

3 K a mahue a Huria i a ia, a hoki ana ano ki Kariri.

He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4 N a, ko te ara mona i tika na Hamaria.

It was necessary for Him to go through Samaria.

5 A ka haere ia ki tetahi pa o Hamaria, ko Haika te ingoa, e patata ana ki te wahi i hoatu e Hakopa ki tana tama, ki a Hohepa.

And in doing so, He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 K ei reira hoki te puna a Hakopa. Na kua ngenge a Ihu i te haerenga, heoi noho ana ia ki te taha o te puna: a meake ko te ono o nga haora.

And Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, tired as He was from His journey, sat down by the well. It was then about the sixth hour (about noon).

7 K a haere mai tetahi wahine o Hamaria ki te utu wai: ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Homai he wai moku.

Presently, when a woman of Samaria came along to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give Me a drink—

8 K ua riro hoki ana akonga ki te pa, ki te hoko kai.

For His disciples had gone off into the town to buy food—

9 N a ko te meatanga a te wahine o Hamaria ki a ia, he aha koe, he Hurai na koe, ka tono mai ai i te wai i ahau, he wahine nei ahau no Hamaria? kahore hoki e tata ana nga Hurai ki nga Hamarai.

The Samaritan woman said to Him, How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?—For the Jews have nothing to do with the Samaritans—

10 K a whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Me i matau koe ki ta te Atua e homai ai, ki tenei hoki e mea nei ki a koe, Homai he wai moku; penei kua tono koe ki a ia, a kua hoatu e ia te wai ora ki a koe.

Jesus answered her, If you had only known and had recognized God’s gift and Who this is that is saying to you, Give Me a drink, you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water.

11 K a mea te wahine ki a ia, E kara, kahore au mea hei utu wai, he hohonu ano te puna: no hea tena wai ora au?

She said to Him, Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; how then can You provide living water?

12 H e nui oti koe i to matou matua, i a Hakopa, i homai ai te puna ki a matou, inu ana ia i konei, ratou ko ana tamariki, me ana kararehe?

Are You greater than and superior to our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well and who used to drink from it himself, and his sons and his cattle also?

13 K a whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E mate ano i te wai te tangata e inu ana i tenei wai:

Jesus answered her, All who drink of this water will be thirsty again.

14 T ena ko te tangata e inu ana i te wai e hoatu e ahau ki a ia, e kore ia e mate i te wai a ake ake; engari te wai e hoatu e ahau ki a ia, hei puna wai tena i roto i a ia e pupu ake ana, a te ora tonu ra ano.

But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) within him unto (into, for) eternal life.

15 K a mea te wahine ki a ia, E kara, homai ki ahau tenei wai, kei mate ahau i te wai, kei haere mai hoki ki konei rawa utu ai

The woman said to Him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may never get thirsty nor have to come here to draw.

16 K a mea a Ihu ki a ia, Tikina, karangatia to tahu, ka hoki mai ai.

At this, Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband and come back here.

17 K a whakahoki te wahine, ka mea, Kahore aku tahu. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, He korero tika tau, Kahore aku tahu:

The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have spoken truly in saying, I have no husband.

18 I na hoki kua tokorima au tahu; ko ia i a koe nei ehara i te tahu nau: he pono tenei korero au.

For you have had five husbands, and the man you are now living with is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.

19 K a mea te wahine ki a ia, E kara, e kite ana ahau he poropiti koe.

The woman said to Him, Sir, I see and understand that You are a prophet.

20 I karakia o matou matua i runga i tenei maunga; a e mea ana koutou, Ko Hiruharama te wahi e tika ai te karakia.

Our forefathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary and proper to worship.

21 K a mea a Ihu ki a ia, E tai, whakapono ki ahau, meake puta te wa, e kore ai koutou e karakia ki te Matua i runga i tenei maunga, e kore ano i Hiruharama.

Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22 K ahore koutou e mohio ki ta koutou e karakia nei: e matau ana matou ki ta matou e karakia nei; no nga Hurai nei hoki te ora.

You do not know what you are worshiping. We do know what we are worshiping, for salvation comes from the Jews.

23 O tira meake puta te wa, a tenei ano, e karakia ai nga kaikarakia pono ki te Matua i runga i te wairua, i te pono: e rapu ana hoki te Matua ki te pera hei karakia ki a ia.

A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers.

24 H e Wairua te Atua: me karakia hoki nga kaikarakia ki a ia i runga i te wairua, i te pono.

God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (reality).

25 K a mea te wahine ki a ia, E matau ana ahau kei te haere mai te Mihaia, e kiia nei ko te Karaiti, ka tae mai ia, mana nga mea katoa e korero ki a tatou.

The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, He Who is called the Christ (the Anointed One); and when He arrives, He will tell us everything we need to know and make it clear to us.

26 K a mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ko ahau ano ia e korero nei ki a koe.

Jesus said to her, I Who now speak with you am He.

27 N a ka puta i reira ana akonga, ka miharo ki tana korerotanga ki te wahine: heoi kihai tetahi i mea, He aha tau e rapu? he aha koe ka korero ai ki a ia?

Just then His disciples came and they wondered (were surprised, astonished) to find Him talking with a woman. However, not one of them asked Him, What are You inquiring about? or What do You want? or, Why do You speak with her?

28 N a ka whakarerea e te wahine tana ipu, a haere ana ki te pa, ka mea ki nga tangata,

Then the woman left her water jar and went away to the town. And she began telling the people,

29 H aere mai, kia kite i te tangata i korerotia mai ai ki ahau nga mea katoa i mea ai ahau: ehara ranei tenei i a te Karaiti?

Come, see a Man Who has told me everything that I ever did! Can this be the Christ?

30 K a puta ratou ki waho o te pa, a ka ahu mai ki a ia.

So the people left the town and set out to go to Him.

31 I taua takiwa ano ka tohe nga akonga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e kai ra.

Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him saying, Rabbi, eat something.

32 O tira ka mea ia ki a ratou, he kai ano taku hei kai maku, kahore koutou e matau.

But He assured them, I have food (nourishment) to eat of which you know nothing and have no idea.

33 N a ka mea nga akonga tetahi ki tetahi, I kawea mai ranei e tetahi he kai mana?

So the disciples said one to another, Has someone brought Him something to eat?

34 K a mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ko taku kai tenei, ko te mea i ta toku kaitono e pai ai, kia whakaotia hoki tana mahi.

Jesus said to them, My food (nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely finish His work.

35 E kore ianei koutou e mea, Kia wha atu nga marama, a ka taea te kotinga? Nana, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kia ara ake o koutou kanohi, titiro ki nga mara; kua ma noa ake: ko te kotinga tenei.

Do you not say, It is still four months until harvest time comes? Look! I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields and see how they are already white for harvesting.

36 K a whiwhi te kaikokoti ki te utu, ka kohia ano hoki e ia nga hua mo te ora tonu: kia hari tahi ai te kairui raua ko te kaikokoti.

Already the reaper is getting his wages, for he is gathering fruit (crop) unto life eternal, so that he who does the planting and he who does the reaping may rejoice together.

37 N a konei hoki i pono ai taua ki, E rui ana tetahi, e kokoti ana tetahi.

For in this the saying holds true, One sows and another reaps.

38 I tonoa koutou e ahau ki te kokoti i te mea kihai i mahia e koutou: he tangata ke nana i mahi, a kua uru koutou ki a ratou mahi.

I sent you to reap a crop for which you have not toiled. Other men have labored and you have stepped in to reap the results of their work.

39 A he tokomaha nga Hamari o taua pa i whakapono ki a ia, mo te ki a te wahine i mea ra, I korerotia mai e ia ki ahau nga mea katoa i mea ai ahau.

Now numerous Samaritans from that town believed in and trusted in Him because of what the woman said when she declared and testified, He told me everything that I ever did.

40 A , no ka tae nga Hamari ki a ia, ka mea kia noho ia ki a ratou: a e rua nga ra i noho ai ia ki reira.

So when the Samaritans arrived, they asked Him to remain with them, and He did stay there two days.

41 N a hira noa ake nga tangata i whakapono, he mea hoki na tana kupu;

Then many more believed in and adhered to and relied on Him because of His personal message.

42 I mea ano ki te wahine, Ehara i te mea na tau kupu i whakapono ai matou inaianei: kua rongo nei hoki matou ake, a ka matau, ko te Karaiti pu tenei, ko te Kaiwhakaora o te ao.

And they told the woman, Now we no longer believe (trust, have faith) just because of what you said; for we have heard Him ourselves, and we know that He truly is the Savior of the world, the Christ.

43 K a pahure aua ra e rua, ka turia atu e ia i reira, a haere ana ki Kariri.

But after these two days Jesus went on from there into Galilee—

44 K o Ihu tonu hoki nana te ki, Kahore he honore o te poropiti i tona kainga ake.

Although He Himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

45 H eoi, i tona taenga ki Kariri, ka whakamanuhiritia ia e nga tangata o Kariri, i kite hoki ratou i nga mea katoa i meatia e ia ki Hiruharama i te hakari: i haere hoki ratou ki te hakari.

However, when He came into Galilee, the Galileans also welcomed Him and took Him to their hearts eagerly, for they had seen everything that He did in Jerusalem during the Feast; for they too had attended the Feast.

46 A ka tae ano a Ihu ki Kana o Kariri, ki te wahi i meatia ai e ia te wai hei waina. Na ko tetahi tangata a te kingi, kei Kaperenauma tana tama e mate ana.

So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son was lying ill in Capernaum.

47 A , no ka rongo ia kua tae mai a Ihu i Huria ki Kariri, ka haere ki a ia, ka inoi ki a ia kia haere ia ki te whakaora i tana tama; meake hoki marere.

Having heard that Jesus had come back from Judea into Galilee, he went away to meet Him and began to beg Him to come down and cure his son, for he was lying at the point of death.

48 N a ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te kahore koutou e kite i nga tohu, i nga merekara, e kore rawa koutou e whakapono.

Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and miracles happen, you never will believe (trust, have faith) at all.

49 K a mea te tangata a te kingi ki a ia, E te Ariki, haere iho i te mea kahore ano kia mate noa taku tamaiti.

The king’s officer pleaded with Him, Sir, do come down at once before my little child is dead!

50 K a mea a Ihu ki a ia, Haere; kua ora tau tama. Na whakapono ana te tangata ki te kupu i korerotia e Ihu ki a ia, a haere ana.

Jesus answered him, Go in peace; your son will live! And the man put his trust in what Jesus said and started home.

51 A , i a ia e haere ana, ka tutaki ana pononga ki a ia, ka korero, Kua ora tau tamaiti.

But even as he was on the road going down, his servants met him and reported, saying, Your son lives!

52 N a ka ui ia ki a ratou ki te haora i matutu ake ai ia. Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Nonanahi, no te whitu o nga haora, i mutu ai tona ka.

So he asked them at what time he had begun to get better. They said, Yesterday during the seventh hour (about one o’clock in the afternoon) the fever left him.

53 N a ka mohio te papa, ko te tino haora ia i mea ai a Ihu ki a ia, Kua ora tau tama: a whakapono ana ia, ratou ko tona whare katoa.

Then the father knew that it was at that very hour when Jesus had said to him, Your son will live. And he and his entire household believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Jesus).

54 K o te rua ano tenei o nga merekara i meatia e Ihu, i muri i tona haerenga i Huria ki Kariri.

This is the second sign (wonderwork, miracle) that Jesus performed after He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
