Jan 4
Haitian Creole Version
4 ¶ Farizyen yo tande Jezi t'ap fè plis patizan pase Jan, li t'ap batize plis moun pase l' tou.
2 (Men, pou di vre, Jezi pa t' janm batize pesonn. Se disip li yo ki t'ap batize.)
3 Lè Jezi vin konn sa, li kite peyi Jide, li tounen nan peyi Galile.
4 ¶ Sou wout la, fòk li te pase nan mitan peyi Samari.
5 Li rive nan yon bouk Samari yo rele Sika, toupre moso tè Jakòb te bay Jozèf, pitit gason l' lan.
6 Se la pi Jakòb la te ye. Jezi menm te bouke, vwayaj la te fatige l' anpil. Li chita sou rebò pi a. Li te bò midi konsa.
7 Yon fanm peyi Samari vin pou tire dlo. Jezi di l' konsa: Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè.
8 (Disip li yo te ale lavil la achte manje.)
9 Fanm Samari a di Jezi konsa: Kouman? Se pa jwif ou ye? Ki jan ou fè mande m' dlo pou ou bwè, mwen menm ki moun Samari? (Paske, jwif yo pa t' gen rapò ak moun Samari.)
10 Jezi reponn li: Si ou te konnen sa Bondye bay la, si ou te konnen ki moun k'ap mande ou ti gout dlo pou bwè a, se ou menm ki ta mande l' ba ou ti gout dlo bwè. Lè sa a, li ta ka ba ou nan dlo ki bay lavi a.
11 Fanm lan di li: Msye, ou pa gen veso pou tire dlo. Epitou, pi a fon anpil. Ki bò pou ou ta jwenn dlo ki bay lavi sa a?
12 Se Jakòb, zansèt nou, ki te ban nou pi sa a. Li te bwè ladan li. Tout pitit li yo ansanm ak tout bèt li yo, se la yo te bwè tou. Koulye a, ou prèt pou di m' ou pi gran pase Jakòb?
13 Jezi reponn li: Tout moun ki bwè dlo sa a gen pou l' swaf dlo ankò.
14 Men, moun ki va bwè nan dlo m'ap ba li a, li p'ap janm swaf dlo ankò. Paske, dlo m'ap ba li a ap tounen yon sous dlo nan li k'ap ba li lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.
15 Fanm lan di l': Tanpri, msye, ban m' ti gout nan dlo sa a non pou m' bwè, konsa mwen p'ap janm anvi bwè dlo ankò, mwen p'ap bezwen tounen isit la vin tire dlo.
16 Jezi di l' konsa: Ale rele mari ou. Apre sa, tounen vin jwenn mwen isit la.
17 Fanmi lan reponn: Mwen pa gen mari. Jezi di l' konsa: Ou gen rezon di ou pa gen mari.
18 Paske, ou pase senk mari deja. Epi nonm k'ap viv avè ou koulye a, se pa mari ou li ye. Ou pa ban m' manti.
19 Lè sa a, fanm lan di l': Gen lè ou se yon pwofèt, msye?
20 Zansèt nou yo nan peyi Samari te sèvi Bondye sou mòn sa a. Men nou menm jwif, nou di: Sèl kote pou moun sèvi Bondye, se lavil Jerizalèm.
21 Jezi reponn li: Madanm, ou mèt kwè mwen. Lè a pral rive, se pa ni sou mòn sa a, ni lavil Jerizalèm pou n' sèvi Papa a.
22 Nou menm, moun Samari, nou pa konnen sa n'ap sèvi a. Nou menm jwif, nou konnen sa n'ap sèvi a, paske moun k'ap vin pou sove a, se nan mitan jwif yo l'ap soti.
23 Men, lè a ap rive, li rive deja: tout moun k'ap sèvi tout bon yo pral sèvi Papa a nan kè yo jan sa dwe fèt. Se moun konsa Bondye vle pou sèvi li.
24 Bondye, se Lespri li ye. Tout moun k'ap sèvi l', se pou yo sèvi l' nan lespri yo jan sa dwe fèt la.
25 Fanm lan di li: Mwen konnen Mesi a, moun yo rele Kris la, gen pou l' vini tou. Lè la vini, la esplike nou tout bagay sa yo.
26 Jezi reponn li: Mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou la a, mwen se Kris la.
27 ¶ Lè sa a, disip Jezi yo vin rive. Yo te sezi wè l' ap pale ak yon fanm. Men, yo yonn pa mande l': Kisa ou gen avèk li? Osinon: Poukisa w'ap pale avè li?
28 Fanm lan menm kite krich dlo a la, li tounen li al lavil la. Li di moun yo:
29 Vini wè yon nonm ki di m' tou sa m' fè. Eske nou pa kwè se Kris la?
30 Moun yo soti lavil la, yo vin jwenn Jezi.
31 Disip yo menm, bò pa yo, t'ap mande Jezi pou l' manje. Yo t'ap di l': Tanpri, Mèt, manje kichòy non!
32 Men, li reponn yo: Mwen gen pou m' manje yon manje nou pa konnen.
33 Lè sa a, disip yo yonn pran mande lòt: Gen lè yon moun pote manje ba li.
34 Jezi di yo: Manje pa m', se fè volonte moun ki voye m' lan; se pou m' fin fè travay li ban m' fè a.
35 Nou menm, nou di: Nan kat mwa ankò nou pral fè rekòt. Mwen menm, mwen di nou: Gade jaden yo byen. Grenn yo fin mi, yo tou bon pou ranmase.
36 Yo gen tan peye moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la, l'ap anpile grenn yo pou lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Se konsa, moun k'ap simen an kontan; moun k'ap ranmase a kontan tou ansanm avèk li.
37 Sa pawòl la di a, se vre wi: Moun ki simen an, se pa li ki ranmase.
38 Mwen voye nou ranmase nan yon jaden nou pa t' travay. Se lòt moun ki te travay li. Men, se nou menm k'ap pwofite travay yo.
39 Anpil moun Samari ki te rete nan Sika te kwè nan Jezi poutèt sa madanm lan te di yo: Li di m' tou sa m' fè.
40 Se konsa, lè yo rive bò kote li, yo mande l' pou l' rete avèk yo. Jezi pase de jou nan lavil la.
41 Te gen anpil lòt moun ankò ki te kwè nan li, poutèt sa Jezi menm t'ap di yo.
42 Yo di fanm lan konsa: Koulye a nou kwè, se pa sèlman poutèt sa ou rakonte nou an, men tou paske nou tande l' nou menm ak de zòrèy nou. Nou konnen se li menm vre ki vin delivre moun sou latè.
43 ¶ Lè Jezi fin pase de jou sa yo la, li pati, li ale nan peyi Galile.
44 Paske, se Jezi menm ki te di: Yo pa janm respekte yon pwofèt nan peyi kote l' soti.
45 Lè li rive nan Galile, moun Galile yo te byen resevwa l', paske yo menm tou yo te al lavil Jerizalèm pou fèt Delivrans lan, yo te wè tou sa li te fè lè sa a.
46 Apre sa, Jezi tounen vin Kana nan Galile, kote li te fè dlo tounen diven an. Nan lavil la te gen yon gwo fonksyonè leta ki te gen yon pitit gason l' ki te malad nan yon lòt lavil yo rele Kapènawòm.
47 Lè li vin konnen Jezi te soti peyi Jide vin nan peyi Galile, li al jwenn li, li mande l' pou li al Kapènawòm geri pitit li a ki te prèt pou mouri.
48 Jezi di l' konsa: Si nou pa wè mirak ak bèl bagay, nou p'ap janm kwè.
49 Fonksyonè a reponn li: Mèt, vin avè m' non, anvan pitit mwen an gen tan mouri.
50 Jezi di li: Ou mèt al lakay ou. Pitit ou a p'ap mouri. Nonm lan kwè sa Jezi te di l' la, li ale.
51 Li te sou wout lakay li toujou lè domestik li yo vin jwenn li avèk nouvèl sa a: Pitit ou a pa mouri.
52 Li mande yo: Kilè ti gason an refè? Yo reponn li: Yè apremidi, bò enè konsa, lafyèb la tonbe.
53 Papa a vin rekonèt se te lè sa a menm Jezi te di l': Pitit gason ou lan p'ap mouri. Se konsa li menm ansanm ak tout moun lakay li yo kwè nan Jezi.
54 Sa te fè dezyèm mirak Jezi te fè lè l' tounen soti Jide vini nan peyi Galile.
John 4
New King James Version
A Samaritan Woman Meets Her Messiah
4 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and (A)baptized more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), 3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.
5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that (B)Jacob (C)gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For (D)Jews have no dealings with (E)Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the (F)gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you (G)living water.”
11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but (H)whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him (I)will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
15 (J)The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”
Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, (K)I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on (L)this mountain, and you Jews say that in (M)Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming (N)when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship (O)what you do not know; we know what we worship, for (P)salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will (Q)worship the Father in (R)spirit (S)and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 (T)God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah (U)is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, (V)He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, (W)“I who speak to you am He.”
The Whitened Harvest
27 And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”
28 The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man (X)who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”
34 Jesus said to them, (Y)“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to (Z)finish His work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes (AA)the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, (AB)for they are already white for harvest! 36 (AC)And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that (AD)both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: (AE)‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; (AF)others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
The Savior of the World
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him (AG)because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of His own (AH)word.
42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for (AI)we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed [a]the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
Welcome at Galilee
43 Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee. 44 For (AJ)Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, (AK)having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; (AL)for they also had gone to the feast.
A Nobleman’s Son Healed
46 So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee (AM)where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain [b]nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, (AN)“Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”
49 The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!”
52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.
54 This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
John 4
King James Version
4 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 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 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 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 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 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 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
