John 4

1 When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

1 فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ سَمِعُوا أَنَّ يَسُوعَ يُصَيِّرُ وَيُعَمِّدُ تَلَامِيذَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا،

2 (although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

2 مَعَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ نَفْسَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُعَمِّدُ بَلْ تَلَامِيذُهُ،

3 He left Judea and returned to Galilee.

3 تَرَكَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَمَضَى أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ.

4 Now He had to pass through Samaria.

4 وَكَانَ لَا بُدَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ.

5 So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

5 فَأَتَى إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ يُقَالُ لَهَا سُوخَارُ، بِقُرْبِ ٱلضَّيْعَةِ ٱلَّتِي وَهَبَهَا يَعْقُوبُ لِيُوسُفَ ٱبْنِهِ.

6 Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

6 وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ بِئْرُ يَعْقُوبَ. فَإِذْ كَانَ يَسُوعُ قَدْ تَعِبَ مِنَ ٱلسَّفَرِ، جَلَسَ هَكَذَا عَلَى ٱلْبِئْرِ، وَكَانَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ.

7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

7 فَجَاءَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ لِتَسْتَقِيَ مَاءً، فَقَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «أَعْطِينِي لِأَشْرَبَ».

8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

8 لِأَنَّ تَلَامِيذَهُ كَانُوا قَدْ مَضَوْا إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِيَبْتَاعُوا طَعَامًا.

9 “You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

9 فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلسَّامِرِيَّةُ: «كَيْفَ تَطْلُبُ مِنِّي لِتَشْرَبَ، وَأَنْتَ يَهُودِيٌّ وَأَنَا ٱمْرَأَةٌ سَامِرِيَّةٌ؟». لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ لَا يُعَامِلُونَ ٱلسَّامِرِيِّينَ.

10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

10 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهاَ: «لَوْ كُنْتِ تَعْلَمِينَ عَطِيَّةَ ٱللهِ، وَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ لَكِ أَعْطِينِي لِأَشْرَبَ، لَطَلَبْتِ أَنْتِ مِنْهُ فَأَعْطَاكِ مَاءً حَيًّا».

11 “Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

11 قَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَا دَلْوَ لَكَ وَٱلْبِئْرُ عَمِيقَةٌ. فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لَكَ ٱلْمَاءُ ٱلْحَيُّ؟

12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

12 أَلَعَلَّكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَبِينَا يَعْقُوبَ، ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانَا ٱلْبِئْرَ، وَشَرِبَ مِنْهَا هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ وَمَوَاشِيهِ؟».

13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

13 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهاَ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَاءِ يَعْطَشُ أَيْضًا.

14 But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.”

14 وَلَكِنْ مَنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ ٱلَّذِي أُعْطِيهِ أَنَا فَلَنْ يَعْطَشَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، بَلِ ٱلْمَاءُ ٱلَّذِي أُعْطِيهِ يَصِيرُ فِيهِ يَنْبُوعَ مَاءٍ يَنْبَعُ إِلَى حَيَاةٍ أَبَدِيَّةٍ».

15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

15 قَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَعْطِنِي هَذَا ٱلْمَاءَ، لِكَيْ لَا أَعْطَشَ وَلَا آتِيَ إِلَى هُنَا لِأَسْتَقِيَ».

16 Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

16 قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «ٱذْهَبِي وَٱدْعِي زَوْجَكِ وَتَعَالَيْ إِلَى هَهُنَا».

17 “I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

17 أَجَابَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَقَالتْ: «لَيْسَ لِي زَوْجٌ». قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «حَسَنًا قُلْتِ: لَيْسَ لِي زَوْجٌ،

18 In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

18 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَكِ خَمْسَةُ أَزْوَاجٍ، وَٱلَّذِي لَكِ ٱلْآنَ لَيْسَ هُوَ زَوْجَكِ. هَذَا قُلْتِ بِٱلصِّدْقِ».

19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

19 قَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَرَى أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ!

20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

20 آبَاؤُنَا سَجَدُوا فِي هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ ٱلَّذِي يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُسْجَدَ فِيهِ».

21 “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

21 قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «يَا ٱمْرَأَةُ، صَدِّقِينِي أَنَّهُ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ، لَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَلَا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تَسْجُدُونَ لِلْآبِ.

22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

22 أَنْتُمْ تَسْجُدُونَ لِمَا لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا نَعْلَمُ. لِأَنَّ ٱلْخَلَاصَ هُوَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ.

23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.

23 وَلَكِنْ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ، وَهِيَ ٱلْآنَ، حِينَ ٱلسَّاجِدُونَ ٱلْحَقِيقِيُّونَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِلْآبِ بِٱلرُّوحِ وَٱلْحَقِّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْآبَ طَالِبٌ مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلسَّاجِدِينَ لَهُ.

24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

24 ٱللهُ رُوحٌ. وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْجُدُونَ لَهُ فَبِالرُّوحِ وَٱلْحَقِّ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَسْجُدُوا».

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

25 قَالَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ: «أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَسِيَّا، ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ، يَأْتِي. فَمَتَى جَاءَ ذَاكَ يُخْبِرُنَا بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ».

26 Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

26 قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا ٱلَّذِي أُكَلِّمُكِ هُوَ».

27 Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

27 وَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ جَاءَ تَلَامِيذُهُ، وَكَانُوا يَتَعَجَّبُونَ أَنَّهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ. وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَقُلْ أَحَدٌ: «مَاذَا تَطْلُبُ؟» أَوْ «لِمَاذَا تَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهَا؟».

28 Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

28 فَتَرَكَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ جَرَّتَهَا وَمَضَتْ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَتْ لِلنَّاسِ:

29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

29 «هَلُمُّوا ٱنْظُرُوا إِنْسَانًا قَالَ لِي كُلَّ مَا فَعَلْتُ. أَلَعَلَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟».

30 So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

30 فَخَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَأَتَوْا إِلَيْهِ.

31 Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

31 وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ ذَلِكَ سَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، كُلْ».

32 But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

32 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنَا لِي طَعَامٌ لِآكُلَ لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ أَنْتُمْ».

33 So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”

33 فَقَالَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «أَلَعَلَّ أَحَدًا أَتَاهُ بِشَيْءٍ لِيَأْكُلَ؟»

34 Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

34 قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «طَعَامِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَةَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي وَأُتَمِّمَ عَمَلَهُ.

35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.

35 أَمَا تَقُولُونَ: إِنَّهُ يَكُونُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي ٱلْحَصَادُ؟ هَا أَنَا أَقُولُ لَكُمُ: ٱرْفَعُوا أَعْيُنَكُمْ وَٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْحُقُولَ إِنَّهَا قَدِ ٱبْيَضَّتْ لِلْحَصَادِ.

36 Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

36 وَٱلْحَاصِدُ يَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً وَيَجْمَعُ ثَمَرًا لِلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، لِكَيْ يَفْرَحَ ٱلزَّارِعُ وَٱلْحَاصِدُ مَعًا.

37 For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

37 لِأَنَّهُ فِي هَذَا يَصْدُقُ ٱلْقَوْلُ: إِنَّ وَاحِدًا يَزْرَعُ وَآخَرَ يَحْصُدُ.

38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”

38 أَنَا أَرْسَلْتُكُمْ لِتَحْصُدُوا مَا لَمْ تَتْعَبُوا فِيهِ. آخَرُونَ تَعِبُوا وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ دَخَلْتُمْ عَلَى تَعَبِهِمْ».

39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

39 فَآمَنَ بِهِ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرِيِّينَ بِسَبَبِ كَلَامِ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ تَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ: «قَالَ لِي كُلَّ مَا فَعَلْتُ».

40 So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.

40 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلسَّامِرِيُّونَ سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ عِنْدَهُمْ، فَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ يَوْمَيْنِ.

41 And many more believed because of His message.

41 فَآمَنَ بِهِ أَكْثَرُ جِدًّا بِسَبَبِ كَلَامِهِ.

42 They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”

42 وَقَالُوا لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «إِنَّنَا لَسْنَا بَعْدُ بِسَبَبِ كَلَامِكِ نُؤْمِنُ، لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا وَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ مُخَلِّصُ ٱلْعَالَمِ».

43 After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.

43 وَبَعْدَ ٱلْيَوْمَيْنِ خَرَجَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَمَضَى إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ،

44 Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

44 لِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ نَفْسَهُ شَهِدَ أَنْ: «لَيْسَ لِنَبِيٍّ كَرَامَةٌ فِي وَطَنِهِ».

45 Yet when He arrived, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.

45 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ قَبِلَهُ ٱلْجَلِيلِيُّونَ، إِذْ كَانُوا قَدْ عَايَنُوا كُلَّ مَا فَعَلَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ أَيْضًا جَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْعِيدِ.

46 So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.

46 فَجَاءَ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا إِلَى قَانَا ٱلْجَلِيلِ، حَيْثُ صَنَعَ ٱلْمَاءَ خَمْرًا. وَكَانَ خَادِمٌ لِلْمَلِكِ ٱبْنُهُ مَرِيضٌ فِي كَفْرِنَاحُومَ.

47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.

47 هَذَا إِذْ سَمِعَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ قَدْ جَاءَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ، ٱنْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِ وَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ وَيَشْفِيَ ٱبْنَهُ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُشْرِفًا عَلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ.

48 Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

48 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لَا تُؤْمِنُونَ إِنْ لَمْ تَرَوْا آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ».

49 “Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

49 قَالَ لَهُ خَادِمُ ٱلْمَلِكِ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، ٱنْزِلْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ ٱبْنِي».

50 “Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

50 قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «ٱذْهَبْ. اِبْنُكَ حَيٌّ». فَآمَنَ ٱلرَّجُلُ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ ٱلَّتِي قَالَهَا لَهُ يَسُوعُ، وَذَهَبَ.

51 And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

51 وَفِيمَا هُوَ نَازِلٌ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ عَبِيدُهُ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ ٱبْنَكَ حَيٌّ».

52 So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”

52 فَٱسْتَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أَخَذَ يَتَعَافَى، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَمْسِ فِي ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ تَرَكَتْهُ ٱلْحُمَّى».

53 Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed.

53 فَفَهِمَ ٱلْأَبُ أَنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلَّتِي قَالَ لَهُ فِيهَا يَسُوعُ: «إِنَّ ٱبْنَكَ حَيٌّ». فَآمَنَ هُوَ وَبَيْتُهُ كُلُّهُ.

54 This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.

54 هَذِهِ أَيْضًا آيَةٌ ثَانِيَةٌ صَنَعَهَا يَسُوعُ لَمَّا جَاءَ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ.
