[1] Yesu atazindikira kuti Afarisi amva zoti Iye ankapeza ndi kubatiza ophunzira ambiri kupambana Yohane, [2] (ngakhale kuti Yesuyo sankabatiza, koma ophunzira ake). [3] Iye anachoka ku Yudeya ndi kubwereranso ku Galileya. [4] Ndipo Iye anayenera kudutsa mu Samariya. [5] Iye anafika mʼmudzi wa Asamariya wotchedwa Sukari, pafupi ndi malo amene Yakobo anapatsa mwana wake Yosefe. [6] Chitsime cha Yakobo chinali pamenepo ndipo Yesu atatopa ndi ulendo anakhala pansi pambali pa chitsimecho. Nthawi inali pafupifupi ora lachisanu ndi chimodzi masana. [7] Mayi wa Chisamariya atabwera kudzatunga madzi, Yesu anati kwa iye, “Kodi ungandipatse madzi akumwa.” [8] (Ophunzira ake nʼkuti atapita mʼmudzi kukagula chakudya). [9] Mayiyo anati kwa Iye, “Inu ndinu Myuda ndipo ine ndine Msamariya. Bwanji mukundipempha madzi akumwa?” (Popeza Ayuda ndi Asamariya sankayanjana). [10] Yesu anamuyankha kuti, “Koma iwe ukanadziwa mphatso ya Mulungu ndi Iye amene akukupempha madzi akumwa, ukanamupempha ndipo akanakupatsa madzi amoyo.” [11] Mayiyo anati, “Ambuye, Inu mulibe kanthu kotungira madzi ndipo chitsime ndi chakuya. Kodi madzi amoyowo mungawatenge kuti? [12] Kodi Inu ndinu wamkulu kuposa kholo lathu Yakobo, amene anatipatsa chitsimechi ndipo iye ankamwanso monga anachita ana ake ndi ziweto zake?” [13] Yesu anayankha kuti, “Aliyense amene amamwa madzi awa amamvanso ludzu, [14] koma aliyense amene adzamwa madzi amene Ine ndidzamupatsa sadzamvanso ludzu. Ndithudi, madzi amene ndidzamupatsa adzakhala kasupe wamadzi wotumphukira ku moyo wosatha.” [15] Mayiyo anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye, patseni madzi amenewo kuti ndisadzamvenso ludzu ndi kumabwerabe kuno kudzatunga madzi.” [16] Iye anamuwuza kuti, “Pita kayitane mwamuna wako ndipo ubwere naye.” [17] Iye anayankha kuti, “Ine ndilibe mwamuna.” Yesu anati kwa iye, “Wakhoza ponena kuti ulibe mwamuna. [18] Zoona nʼzakuti iwe wakhala pa banja ndi amuna asanu, ndipo mwamuna amene uli naye tsopano si wako. Zimene wanenazi ndi zoona.” [19] Mayiyo anati, “Ambuye, ine ndazindikira kuti Inu ndinu mneneri. [20] Makolo athu ankapembedza mʼphiri ili koma inu Ayuda mumati malo amene tiyenera kupembedzera ali ku Yerusalemu.” [21] Yesu anati, “Mayi inu khulupirira Ine. Nthawi ikubwera pamene inu simudzapembedza Atate mʼphiri ili kapena mu Yerusalemu. [22] Inu Asamariya mumapembedza chimene simukuchidziwa. Ife timapembedza chimene tikuchidziwa, pakuti chipulumutso nʼchochokera kwa Ayuda. [23] Koma nthawi ikubwera ndipo yafika kale tsopano pamene opembedza woona adzapembedza Atate mu mzimu ndi mʼchoonadi, pakuti opembedza otere ndiwo amene Atate akuwafuna. [24] Mulungu ndi Mzimu, ndipo omupembedza Iye ayenera kumupembedza mu mzimu ndi mʼchoonadi.” [25] Mayiyo anati, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti Mesiya (wotchedwa Khristu) akubwera. Akabwera, Iye adzafotokoza zonse kwa ife.” [26] Ndipo Yesu anamuwuza kuti, “Amene ndikukuyankhulane, ndine amene.” [27] Pa nthawi yomweyo ophunzira ake anabwerera ndipo anadabwa kupeza Iye akuyankhula ndi mayi. Koma palibe amene anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi mukufuna chiyani?” kapena, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukuyankhula naye?” [28] Kenaka mayiyo anasiya mtsuko wamadzi, nabwerera ku mzinda ndipo anati kwa anthu, [29] “Tiyeni mukaone munthu amene wandiwuza ine zilizonse zimene ndinazichita. Kodi ameneyu sangakhale Khristu?” [30] Iwo anatuluka mʼmudziwo ndi kupita kumene kunali Iye. [31] Pa nthawi imeneyi ndi kuti ophunzira ake akumukakamiza kuti, “Rabi idyani.” [32] Koma Iye anawawuza kuti, “Ine ndili ndi chakudya choti ndidye chimene inu simukuchidziwa.” [33] Ndipo ophunzira ake anafunsana wina ndi mnzake kuti, “Kodi alipo wina amene anamubweretsera Iye chakudya?” [34] Yesu anati, “Chakudya changa ndikuchita chifuniro cha Iye amene anandituma Ine ndi kumaliza ntchito yake. [35] Kodi inu simunena kuti, ‘Kwatsala miyezi inayi ndipo kenaka kukolola?’ Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti, tsekulani maso anu ndipo muyangʼane mʼminda! Mbewu zacha kale kuti zikololedwe. [36] Ngakhale tsopano amene akukolola akulandira malipiro ake, ndipo akututa mbewu ku moyo wosatha kuti wofesa ndi wokolola asangalale pamodzi. [37] Nʼchifukwa chake mawu akuti, ‘Wina amafesa ndipo wina amakolola’ ndi woona. [38] Ine ndinakutumani kukakolola zimene simunagwirire ntchito. Ena anagwira ntchito yolemetsa ndipo inu mwatuta phindu la ntchito yawo.” [39] Asamariya ambiri ochokera mʼmudziwo anakhulupirira Iye chifukwa cha umboni wa mayiyo wakuti, “Iye anandiwuza ine zonse ndinazichita.” [40] Choncho Asamariya atabwera kwa Iye, anamuwumiriza Iye kuti akhale nawo, ndipo Iye anakhala nawo masiku awiri. [41] Ndipo chifukwa cha mawu ake, ena ambiri anakhulupirira. [42] Iwo anati kwa mayiyo, “Ife sitikukhulupirira chifukwa cha mawu ako okha, koma tsopano ife tadzimvera tokha, ndipo tikudziwa kuti munthu uyu ndithu ndi Mpulumutsi wa dziko lapansi.” [43] Patatha masiku awiri Iye anachoka napita ku Galileya. [44] (Tsopano Yesu mwini ananena kale kuti mneneri salandira ulemu mʼdziko lake). [45] Iye atafika ku Galileya, Agalileya anamulandira. Iwo anali ataona zonse zimene anazichita mu Yerusalemu pa phwando la Paska, pakuti iwonso anali komweko. [46] Iye anakafikanso ku Kana wa ku Galileya, kumene anasanduliza madzi kukhala vinyo. Ndipo kumeneko kunali nduna ina ya mfumu imene mwana wake wamwamuna anali chigonere akudwala ku Kaperenawo. [47] Munthu uyu atamva kuti Yesu wafika ku Galileya kuchokera ku Yudeya, anapita kwa Iye, namupempha kuti apite akachiritse mwana wakeyo, amene anali pafupi kufa. [48] Yesu anawawuza iwo kuti, “Anthu inu pokhapokha mutaona zizindikiro zodabwitsa, simudzakhulupirira.” [49] Nduna ya mfumuyo inati, “Ambuye tiyeni mwana wanga asanafe.” [50] Yesu anayankha kuti, “Pita. Mwana wako adzakhala ndi moyo.” Munthuyo anakhulupirira mawu a Yesu ndipo ananyamuka. [51] Iye ali pa njira, antchito ake anakumana naye, namuwuza kuti mwana wanu uja wachira. [52] Iye atafunsa kuti ndi nthawi yanji imene mwana wake anapeza bwino, iwo anati kwa iye, “Malungo anamusiya iye dzulo pa ora lachisanu ndi chiwiri.” [53] Ndipo bamboyo anazindikira kuti iyi inali nthawi yomweyo imene Yesu anati kwa iye, “Mwana wako adzakhala ndi moyo.” Choncho iye ndi onse a pa banja lake anakhulupirira. [54] Ichi ndiye chinali chizindikiro chodabwitsa chachiwiri chimene Yesu anachita atafika ku Galileya kuchokera ku Yudeya.
