1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples), 3 he left Judea, and departed into Galilee. 4 He needed to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
1 “Kwa hiyo Bwana alipofahamu ya kuwa Mafarisayo wamesikia ya kwamba, Yesu anafanya wanafunzi wengi kuliko Yohana 2 Mbatizaji na kuwabatiza (ila Yesu mwenyewe hakubatiza, bali wanafunzi wake) 3 aliacha Uyahudi, akaenda tena zake mpaka Galilaya. 4 Naye alikuwa hana budi kupita katikati ya Samaria. 5 Basi akafika kunako mji wa Samaria uitwao Sikari, karibu na lile shamba ambalo Yakobo alimpa Yusufu mwanawe. 6 Na hapo palikuwa na kisima cha Yakobo. Basi Yesu, kwa sababu alichoka kwa safari yake, akaketi vivi hivi kisimani. Nayo ilikuwa yapata saa sita.”
