4 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,
2 He ahakoa ra ehara i a Ihu nana i iriiri, na ana akonga ia,
3 Ka mahue a Huria i a ia, a hoki ana ano ki Kariri.
4 Na, ko te ara mona i tika na Hamaria.
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.
6 Kei 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.
7 Ka haere mai tetahi wahine o Hamaria ki te utu wai: ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Homai he wai moku.
8 Kua riro hoki ana akonga ki te pa, ki te hoko kai.
9 Na 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.
10 Ka 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.
11 Ka 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?
12 He 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?
13 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E mate ano i te wai te tangata e inu ana i tenei wai:
14 Tena 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.
15 Ka 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
16 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Tikina, karangatia to tahu, ka hoki mai ai.
17 Ka whakahoki te wahine, ka mea, Kahore aku tahu. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, He korero tika tau, Kahore aku tahu:
18 Ina hoki kua tokorima au tahu; ko ia i a koe nei ehara i te tahu nau: he pono tenei korero au.
19 Ka mea te wahine ki a ia, E kara, e kite ana ahau he poropiti koe.
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.
21 Ka 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.
22 Kahore 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.
23 Otira 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.
24 He Wairua te Atua: me karakia hoki nga kaikarakia ki a ia i runga i te wairua, i te pono.
25 Ka 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.
26 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ko ahau ano ia e korero nei ki a koe.
27 Na 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?
28 Na ka whakarerea e te wahine tana ipu, a haere ana ki te pa, ka mea ki nga tangata,
29 Haere 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?
30 Ka puta ratou ki waho o te pa, a ka ahu mai ki a ia.
31 I taua takiwa ano ka tohe nga akonga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e kai ra.
32 Otira ka mea ia ki a ratou, he kai ano taku hei kai maku, kahore koutou e matau.
33 Na ka mea nga akonga tetahi ki tetahi, I kawea mai ranei e tetahi he kai mana?
34 Ka 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.
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.
36 Ka 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.
37 Na konei hoki i pono ai taua ki, E rui ana tetahi, e kokoti ana tetahi.
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.
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.
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.
41 Na hira noa ake nga tangata i whakapono, he mea hoki na tana kupu;
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.
43 Ka pahure aua ra e rua, ka turia atu e ia i reira, a haere ana ki Kariri.
44 Ko Ihu tonu hoki nana te ki, Kahore he honore o te poropiti i tona kainga ake.
45 Heoi, 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.
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.
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.
48 Na 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.
49 Ka mea te tangata a te kingi ki a ia, E te Ariki, haere iho i te mea kahore ano kia mate noa taku tamaiti.
50 Ka 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.
51 A, i a ia e haere ana, ka tutaki ana pononga ki a ia, ka korero, Kua ora tau tamaiti.
52 Na 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.
53 Na 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.
54 Ko te rua ano tenei o nga merekara i meatia e Ihu, i muri i tona haerenga i Huria ki Kariri.

John 4
New International Version
Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
4 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John(A)— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea(B) and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.(C) 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(D) 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”(E) 8 (His disciples had gone into the town(F) to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan(G) woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”(H)
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well(I) and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.(J) Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water(K) welling up to eternal life.”(L)
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty(M) and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.(N) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain,(O) but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”(P)
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming(Q) when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(R) 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know;(S) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.(T) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come(U) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit(V) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,(W) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)(X) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”(Y)
The Disciples Rejoin Jesus
27 Just then his disciples returned(Z) and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.(AA) Could this be the Messiah?”(AB) 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi,(AC) eat something.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat(AD) that you know nothing about.”
33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”
34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will(AE) of him who sent me and to finish his work.(AF) 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.(AG) 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests(AH) a crop for eternal life,(AI) so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’(AJ) is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
Many Samaritans Believe
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town(AK) believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”(AL) 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.
42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”(AM)
Jesus Heals an Official’s Son
43 After the two days(AN) he left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)(AO) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AP) for they also had been there.
46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.(AQ) And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,(AR) he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,”(AS) Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”
49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”
The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”
53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household(AT) believed.
54 This was the second sign(AU) Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.
