|---|---|---|
| 1 | When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John, | Ut ergo cognovit Iesus quia audierunt pharisaei quod Iesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Ioannes |
| 2 | (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,) | (quamquam Iesus non baptizaret, sed discipuli eius), |
| 3 | He left Judea, and went again into Galilee. | reliquit Iudaeam, et abiit iterum in Galilaeam. |
| 4 | And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria. | Oportebat autem eum transire per Samariam. |
| 5 | He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. | Venit ergo in civitatem Samariae, quae dicitur Sichar, iuxta praedium quod dedit Iacob Ioseph filio suo. |
| 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. | Erat autem ibi fons Iacob. Iesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere, sedebat sic supra fontem. Hora erat quasi sexta. |
| 7 | There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink. | Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Iesus: Da mihi bibere. |
| 8 | For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats. | (Discipuli enim eius abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.) |
| 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. | Dicit ergo ei mulier illa Samaritana: Quomodo tu, Iudaeus cum sis, bibere a me poscis, quae sum mulier Samaritana? non enim coutuntur Iudaei Samaritanis. |
| 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. | Respondit Iesus, 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. |
| 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? | Dicit ei mulier: Domine, neque in quo haurias habes, et puteus altus est: unde ergo habes aquam vivam? |
| 12 | Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? | Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Iacob, qui dedit nobis puteum, et ipse ex eo bibit, et filii eius, et pecora eius? |
| 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: | Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Omnis qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum; qui autem biberit ex aqua quam ego dabo ei, non sitiet in aeternum: |
| 14 | But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting. | sed aqua quam ego dabo ei, fiet in eo fons aquae salientis in vitam aeternam. |
| 15 | The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw. | Dicit ad eum mulier: Domine, da mihi hanc aquam, ut non sitiam, neque veniam huc haurire. |
| 16 | Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither. | Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc. |
| 17 | The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband: | Respondit mulier, et dixit: Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Iesus: Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum; |
| 18 | For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly. | quinque enim viros habuisti, et nunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir: hoc vere dixisti. |
| 19 | The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. | Dicit ei mulier: Domine, video quia propheta es tu. |
| 20 | Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore. | Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Ierosolymis est locus ubi adorare oportet. |
| 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. | Dicit ei Iesus: Mulier, crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Ierosolymis adorabitis Patrem. |
| 22 | You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews. | Vos adoratis quod nescitis: nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Iudaeis est. |
| 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. | Sed venit hora, et nunc est, quando veri adoratores adorabunt Patrem in spiritu et veritate. Nam et Pater tales quaerit, qui adorent eum. |
| 24 | God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth. | Spiritus est Deus: et eos qui adorant eum, in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare. |
| 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. | Dicit ei mulier: Scio quia Messias venit (qui dicitur Christus): cum ergo venerit ille, nobis annuntiabit omnia. |
| 26 | Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee. | Dicit ei Iesus: Ego sum, qui loquor tecum. |
| 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? | Et continuo venerunt discipuli eius, et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur. Nemo tamen dixit: Quid quaeris? aut, Quid loqueris cum ea? |
| 28 | The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there: | Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus: |
| 29 | Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ? | Venite, et videte hominem qui dixit mihi omnia quaecumque feci: numquid ipse est Christus? |
| 30 | They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him. | Exierunt ergo de civitate et veniebant ad eum. |
| 31 | In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat. | Interea rogabant eum discipuli, dicentes: Rabbi, manduca. |
| 32 | But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not. | Ille autem dicit eis: Ego cibum habeo manducare, quem vos nescitis. |
| 33 | The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat? | Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem: Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare? |
| 34 | Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work. | Dicit eis Iesus: Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem eius qui misit me, ut perficiam opus eius. |
| 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. | Nonne vos dicitis quod adhuc quatuor menses sunt, et messis venit? Ecce dico vobis: levate oculos vestros, et videte regiones, quia albae sunt iam ad messem. |
| 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. | Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam aeternam: ut et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit. |
| 37 | For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth. | In hoc enim est verbum verum: quia alius est qui seminat, et alius est qui metit. |
| 38 | I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours. | Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis: alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis. |
| 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. | Ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum, propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis: Quia dixit mihi omnia quaecumque feci. |
| 40 | So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days. | Cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani, rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret. Et mansit ibi duos dies. |
| 41 | And many more believed in him because of his own word. | Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem eius. |
| 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. | Et mulieri dicebant: Quia iam non propter tuam loquelam credimus: ipsi enim audivimus, et scimus quia hic est vere Salvator mundi. |
| 43 | Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee. | Post duos autem dies exiit inde, et abiit in Galilaeam. |
| 44 | For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. | Ipse enim Iesus testimonium perhibuit, quia propheta in sua patria honorem non habet. |
| 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. | Cum ergo venisset in Galilaeam, exceperunt eum Galilaei, cum omnia vidissent quae fecerat Ierosolymis in die festo: et ipsi enim venerant ad diem festum. |
| 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. | Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilaeae, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cuius filius infirmabatur Capharnaum. |
| 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. | Hic cum audisset quia Iesus adveniret a Iudaea in Galilaeam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium eius: incipiebat enim mori. |
| 48 | Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not. | Dixit ergo Iesus ad eum: Nisi signa et prodigia videritis, non creditis. |
| 49 | The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die. | Dicit ad eum regulus: Domine, descende priusquam moriatur filius meus. |
| 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. | Dicit ei Iesus: Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Iesus, et ibat. |
| 51 | And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived. | Iam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nuntiaverunt dicentes, quia filius eius viveret. |
| 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. | Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei: Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris. |
| 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. | Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Iesus: Filius tuus vivit; et credidit ipse et domus eius tota. |
| 54 | This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee. | Hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Iesus, cum venisset a Iudaea in Galilaeam. |
