Evangelium secundum Ioannem, 4

1. ut ergo cognovit Jesus quia audierunt Pharisæi quia Jesus plures discipulos facit et baptizat quam Johannes

1. When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John,

2. quamquam Jesus non baptizaret sed discipuli ejus

2. (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,)

3. reliquit Judæam et abiit iterum in Galilæam

3. He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

4. oportebat autem eum transire per Samariam

4. And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.

5. venit ergo in civitatem Samariæ quæ dicitur Sychar juxta prædium quod dedit Jacob Joseph filio suo

5. He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6. erat autem ibi fons Jacob Jesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere sedebat sic super fontem hora erat quasi sexta

6. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7. venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam dicit ei Jesus da mihi bibere

7. There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.

8. discipuli enim ejus abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent

8. For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.

9. dicit ergo ei mulier illa samaritana quomodo tu Judæus cum sis bibere a me poscis quæ sum mulier samaritana non enim coutuntur Judæi Samaritanis

9. Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.

10. respondit Jesus et dixit ei si scires donum Dei et quis est qui dicit tibi da mihi bibere tu forsitan petisses ab eo et dedisset tibi aquam vivam

10. Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11. dicit ei mulier Domine neque in quo haurias habes et puteus altus est unde ergo habes aquam vivam

11. The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?

12. numquid tu major es patre nostro Jacob qui dedit nobis puteum et ipse ex eo bibit et filii ejus et pecora ejus

12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13. respondit Jesus et dixit ei omnis qui bibit ex aqua hac sitiet iterum qui autem biberit ex aqua quam ego dabo ei non sitiet in æternum

13. Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again; but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him, shall not thirst for ever:

14. sed aqua quam dabo ei fiet in eo fons aquæ salientis in vitam æternam

14. But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.

15. dicit ad eum mulier Domine da mihi hanc aquam ut non sitiam neque veniam huc haurire

15. The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

16. dicit ei Jesus vade voca virum tuum et veni huc

16. Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:

17. respondit mulier et dixit non habeo virum dicit ei Jesus bene dixisti quia non habeo virum

17.

18. quinque enim viros habuisti et nunc quem habes non est tuus vir hoc vere dixisti

18. For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.

19. dicit ei mulier Domine video quia propheta es tu

19. The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20. patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt et vos dicitis quia Hierosolymis est locus ubi adorare oportet

20. Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.

21. dicit ei Jesus mulier crede mihi quia veniet hora quando neque in monte hoc neque in Hierosolymis adorabitis Patrem

21. Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.

22. vos adoratis quod nescitis nos adoramus quod scimus quia salus ex Judæis est

22. You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.

23. sed venit hora et nunc est quando veri adoratores adorabunt Patrem in spiritu et veritate nam et Pater tales quærit qui adorent eum

23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.

24. spiritus est Deus et eos qui adorant eum in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare

24. God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.

25. dicit ei mulier scio quia Messias venit qui dicitur Christus cum ergo venerit ille nobis adnuntiabit omnia

25. The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ); therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.

26. dicit ei Jesus ego sum qui loquor tecum

26. Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.

27. et continuo venerunt discipuli ejus et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur nemo tamen dixit quid quæris aut quid loqueris cum ea

27. And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?

28. reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier et abiit in civitatem et dicit illis hominibus

28. The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:

29. venite videte hominem qui dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci numquid ipse est Christus

29. Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?

30. exierunt de civitate et veniebant ad eum

30. They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.

31. interea rogabant eum discipuli dicentes rabbi manduca

31. In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.

32. ille autem dixit eis ego cibum habeo manducare quem vos nescitis

32. But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.

33. dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem numquid aliquis adtulit ei manducare

33. The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?

34. dicit eis Jesus meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem ejus qui misit me ut perficiam opus ejus

34. Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.

35. nonne vos dicitis quod adhuc quattuor menses sunt et messis venit ecce dico vobis levate oculos vestros et videte regiones quia albæ sunt jam ad messem

35. Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.

36. et qui metit mercedem accipit et congregat fructum in vitam æternam ut et qui seminat simul gaudeat et qui metit

36. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together.

37. in hoc enim est verbum verum quia alius est qui seminat et alius est qui metit

37. For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.

38. ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis alii laboraverunt et vos in laborem eorum introistis

38. I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.

39. ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis quia dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci

39. Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.

40. cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret et mansit ibi duos dies

40. So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.

41. et multo plures crediderunt propter sermonem ejus

41. And many more believed in him because of his own word.

42. et mulieri dicebant quia jam non propter tuam loquellam credimus ipsi enim audivimus et scimus quia hic est vere salvator mundi

42. And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

43. post duos autem dies exiit inde et abiit in Galilæam

43. Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

44. ipse enim Jesus testimonium perhibuit quia propheta in sua patria honorem non habet

44. For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

45. cum ergo venisset in Galilæam exceperunt eum Galilæi cum omnia vidissent quæ fecerat Hierosolymis in die festo et ipsi enim venerant in diem festum

45. And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.

46. venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilææ ubi fecit aquam vinum et erat quidam regulus cujus filius infirmabatur Capharnaum

46. He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.

47. hic cum audisset quia Jesus adveniret a Judæa in Galilæam abiit ad eum et rogabat eum ut descenderet et sanaret filium ejus incipiebat enim mori

47. He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

48. dixit ergo Jesus ad eum nisi signa et prodigia videritis non creditis

48. Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.

49. dicit ad eum regulus Domine descende priusquam moriatur filius meus

49. The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.

50. dicit ei Jesus vade filius tuus vivit credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Jesus et ibat

50. Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.

51. jam autem eo descendente servi occurrerunt ei et nuntiaverunt dicentes quia filius ejus viveret

51. And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.

52. interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit et dixerunt ei quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris

52. He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.

53. cognovit ergo pater quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Jesus filius tuus vivit et credidit ipse et domus ejus tota

53. The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.

54. hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Jesus cum venisset a Judæa in Galilæam

54. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.
