John 2 (DNE) · Opened

1Na lichiko lyutato pakibha na unyagho gwa ndowa kwenio ku Kana, ku muche gwa ku Galilaya, na majhe mundo Yecho akibha papa.On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2Yecho na bhabholwa bhake helahela bhakalalikwe ku unyagho gwa ndowa gwenio.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3Bhahe, divaye puijhomokila, majhe mundo Yecho ajhakunnobholela, “Bhakwete jhe divaye.”When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4Yecho ajhakunyanguu, “Nkotoka kumola lyakuhenga. Lichaa lyango lyamela.”“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5Peniya majhe mundo Yecho ajhakwalobholela akatumiche, “Lyolyoha lyapala kunnobholela, nhenga.”His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6Bhahe, pakibha na ihulo chita ya maghanga, itwelii mache, ikabhekwite peniya ngita chibhayobhalile Akayahude gha kukijhelebhula kwa kunyopa Chapanga. Kila kihulo chimo kikahotwii kujhingii mikambo ncheche amu nhwano.Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7Yecho ajhakwalobholela akatumiche, “Ntwelengane ihulo yenio mache.” Na bhene bhajhakutweleya lombilombi.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8Peniya ajhakwalobholela, “Ngoheno nteke mupele nkolo unyagho.” Na bhene bhakatehile ngita chabhalongalile.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9Jhola nkolo jwa unyagho pabhonjita mache gheniya ghajhakughalambuka na kubhehe divaye. Na jwenio akamanyite jhe kwihumile, nambo akatumiche bhubhatekilila mache bhakamanye. Peniya nkolo jwa unyagho ajhakunkema nnyina mwale paupele,and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside

10ajhakunnobholela, “Kila mundo atumbula kwapekeya akaghene divaye jhamaha. Peniya akaghene pibhanywila nu kukola, upiya divaye jhanganogha. Nambo mwenga nibhekite divaye jhinogha ade ngoheno!”and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”

11Yecho ndi nginyililo jhake jha kukangacha jha kutumbula kulangiya pakibha ku Kana, ku muche gwa ku Galilaya. Kwenio ajhakulangiya ung'alicho gwake na bhabholwa bhake bhajhakunyeketela.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12Pajhomolila gheniya, Yecho ajhakuhelela na majhe mundo, na nnongo mundo pamonga na bhabholwa bhake, kujhenda ku muche gwa ku Kapelenaumo na ajhakuhighalika kwa machiko ghandina kwenio.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13Unyagho gwa Akayahude ghu ukemwa Pachaka pubhandikila, Yecho ajhakuhobhoka kujhenda ku Yeluchalemo.When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14Bhahe, Yecho ajhakwakolela bhando pa Nyumba jha Chapanga bhakichulucha ng'ombi na mambelele na ngunda, bhubhajhangangana mbijha bhabhii panane jha njangwale bhatamangine.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15Papa, Yecho ajhakupota luyato lwa lughojhe, ajhakwabhenga bhando bhoha panja pa Nyumba jha Chapanga bhoha pamonga na ng'ombi na mambelele. Helahela ajhakupendengula njangwale na mbijha yabhe ijhakupechengana yoha.So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

16Peniya ajhakwalobholela bhala bhubhachulwicha ngunda, “Mmohengane ilebhe henge! Nkotoka kuhighalambula nyumba jha Tate gwango lighuliho!”To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17Bhabholwa bhake bhajhakukomboka Majhandiko gha Chapanga ghighalonge, “Mwe ma Chapanga, upalo gwango kwa nyumba jhino undiniya kumwojho gwango ngita mwotu.”His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18Bhahe, bhakolo Akayahude bhajhakunkonya Yecho, “Bho, nanangiya nginyililo ghane kabhele jha kukangacha kubhehe nkwete uhotolo gwa kuhenga ghangano ghoha?”On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19Yecho ajhakwajhangu, “Ntilulane Nyumba jha Chapanga, na nenga nanjenga kabhele kwa machiko matato.”Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20Peniya Akayahude bhajhakulonge, “Nyumba jhende jha Chapanga ikachengwite machiko makome ncheche na chita, mwenga nahotola bhole kujhichenga kwa machiko gheniya matato?”“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21Nambo Nyumba jha Chapanga jhalongela Yecho, ikibha ndi yegha jhake.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22Bhahe, Yecho payokita kuhumii kubhawile, bhabholwa bhake bhajhakukomboka chela chalongila. Bhajhakujheketela Majhandiko gha Chapanga na malobhe ghange ghalongila Yecho.After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

23Bhahe, Yecho pakibha ku Yeluchalemo ku unyagho gwa Pachaka, bhando bhamahele bhakaihwene nginyililo yatehila, bhajhakunnyeketela.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24Nambo Yecho akabhajheketii ndeka, nhwalo akamanye bhando bhoha.But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25Akapahi jhe mundo jhojhoha annobholele malobhe gha bhando, nhwalo Yecho akaghamanye ghughabhii nkate jha miojho jhabhe.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
