John 2 (EKA) · Opened

1Eji ma kang nfung ebal, elkak elbal jolo go Kena ji Galili. Nnyehn Jisos jolo ona.On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2Jisos, bo tꞌtob tiing-e elkak elbal nio, a abatꞌtoono ebe.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3Eji amahm male no, owo nnyehn Jisos kehm bake ba tong-e re, “Amahm ebmal.”When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4Jisos kehm-e faange re, “Nnenkal, nꞌnan a kp-m tohngo anv kak go ntong nyia? Ngare nyꞌnyame ka rehng.”“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5Owo nnyehn Jisos kehm tongo alokeltum ba jolo o re, “Limen ajehng ajehng ji á bahk-n tongo!”His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6Etu ebrakebra jolo ona, nya bo bumu re bo jo ba ru elbo ana atahm ebo bungu no. Jolo agburu atulahb nya nnen a nnen, nya etu ajehng ajehng jo yele rehng egalon eltahl, tohko jol ano eltahl egalon ewubu.Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7Jisos kehm bungu tong bo re, “Song tuken alahb, wahn ba ruru go atulahb nyao!” Bo kehm tuku alahb, ba ruru atulahb nyao kpee.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8Á kehm tongo bo re, “Limen alahb maa, wahn song ka nfakamahm!” Bo kehm limi, tahm a ma.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9Nfakamahm no elkak nio kehm wuungu alahb mao ma ma siingi amahm. Á kahnem edi ji lohngo lohng ba. Alokeltum bao ba limi lim alahb mao, bo jo kꞌkahn. Owo á kehm lungu nlumanne,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

10kehm-e tongo re, “Nne awohng awohng kpo tohko ka amahm ma nno. Eji bo ma wo kpꞌbuumu, á kehm gohro ka bo ma ki ga nob. Wobrod amahm ma nno bum gona tete sik anv!”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!”

11Ngbokambang a nkpokosi nyi Jisos limi no nyi a, á limi go Kana ji Galili. Owo á tibi ellub ene. Abatꞌtoono ebe kehm taame tv-e.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12Owo Jisos kehm tahme go Kapenium, a nnyehn, a abonanyehn, a abatꞌtoono ebe. Owo bo kange abon afung ntiil.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13Ngare nyio elkak ni aneb Jus ni bo kpo lung re Pasova ebkabbe. Owo Jisos kehm tahme go Jeusalem.When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14Etahk Esowo ona wo, á nyehne ane ba jo gungu efong, a ejoro, go mbehl, fere nyehn ane ba jo yaange akpohko jehk no, kpꞌyaange akpohko go akpꞌkuru ebo.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15Jisos kehm soro ko ebrꞌrare, kam ane kpee yehke go etahk Esowo jio, a efong efong fvfo. Á sale akpohko nya abayaangakpohko, fere gbul akpꞌkuru ebo tuubu go.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.

16Á kehm tongo ane bao ba jo gungu mbehl re, “Roden nsol nyia, wahn song a nyi! Kana rod etahk Nsoo, bum ana edi are!”To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17Abatꞌtoono ebe kehm soro buumu ana nwer Esowo bungu no re, “Ntir nyi n yehke kak, eji n tuungu etahk Esowo, nyi nyi bahke fere wul-m.”His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18Jus kehm-e bahbe re, “Elliingi ani a bahk-r tibi, eji e lꞌkahn re, a kpi nsahm nyi a kpo lim nsol nyia?”On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19Jisos kehm faange bo re, “Waan etahk Esowo jia, m bahke tuungu si ji nfenfe go nfung era.”Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20Jus kehm bungu re, “Bo ko nnya atahl abal a nnya erakera, si etahk Esowo jia, ji ji a ma fere tong re, a bahke tuungu si go nfung eraa?”“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21Etahk Esowo ji Jisos jo bung bade, ngubjing enye nyi.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22Ngare nyi á nyahme go elkv, abatꞌtoono ebe bꞌbuumu alum nyao nya á bungu no. Owo bo kehm taame tv nwer Esowo, fere taame tv alum nya Jisos bungu no.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.

23Eji Jisos jolo go Jeusalem ngare nyio nyi elkak Pasova, ane gbalee ba taame no tv mbing enye, eji bo nyehne akpokosi nya á jo lim.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24Á joom bum bo go etingitingi, tibre á jo kahne bo kpee, ana bo li no.But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25Kpeem fuumu re nne awohng awohng tong-e bade ana ane li no, tibre yefono antahng kꞌkahn ana ntim ane li no.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
