John 2 (IYX) · Opened

1Nha mbisi a biluumbu bioolo, ali na mukuungi a makweele ku ngaanda a Kaana, mu itinini kia Ngalili. Nguu a Yiisu ali nhaa.On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2Ali bakuungi ka Yiisu na miyii mia nde ku makweele me.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3Mu taanga di mala mawi, nguu a Yiisu wamuleeli: «Bo ka mala pe.»When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4Ka Yiisu wamuvutili: «Maama, we ima li mu usaa mu me? Taanga dia me keni a diafwaana pe.»“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5Nguu a Yiisu aleeli kwaa basiali: «Disa mioosi mi nde uleele kwaa beni.»His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6Ali na masaanga masamina ma bayiluu mu mamanya, ma Bayuudayo bakisalila mu matsaa ma tsieemini. Mu pasi lisaanga ali utuu ukoto iteesi kia kama a baliitre ba maamba.Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7Yiisu aleeli kwaa basiali: «Diluusu masaanga ma mu maamba.» Bo baluusi mo tee mu minywa.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8Ni mu buu, Yiisu wabaleeli: «Ditee mwaana a ndaamba a maamba ma, na dibiti mo kwaa mubiti a mukuungi.» Bo bayilii buu.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9Mubiti a mukuungi abiimbi maamba mamakitii viinyi. Nde a ayaabi pe kuni mala maa mamati, ka basiali babateyi maamba bayaabi ku mo mamati. Ni mu buu nde ati mukweeli mbili,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

10na wamuleeli: «Baata boosi koo ubaanduu uha mala mavulu bubwe. Tumake, bu babata mbili bamaanywa kwalaa, sa baha bo mala mahele ubweeye. Ka we, maaswee mala ma mabwe tee mu taanga di!»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!”

11Mono, imaanga kia tsiomi kiayilii Yiisu ku Kaana, mu itinini kia Ngalili. Nde abaandii umweese buzitu ba nde, na miyii mia nde miasi imiini mu nde.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12Nha mbisi a nhaa, nde ayeni ku ngaanda a Kapernawumi na nguu a nde, na baana ba nguu ba babaala, na miyii mia nde. Bo badiaali kuu mu ndila mwaana a biluumbu hoolo.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13Mukuungi a Bayuudayo wa Paaka ali ka bebele, ni buu Yiisu ayeni ku ngaanda a Yeruselemi.When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14Ku nzo a Nziaambi, nde amoni baata bakiyaluu bangoombo, bindombo na mabeembe. Nde amoni ka baata bakisoomboso mboongo badiaala nha mameese ma bo.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15Ni mu buu, nde ayilii ikoti mu misiingi, na abingi bo boosi ku mbari a nzo a Nziaambi, na bangoombo ba bo, na bindombo bia bo. Tumake, nde atsiali mboongo dia basoombisi nha tsi, na abuundili mameese ma bo.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.

16Tumake Yiisu aleeli kwaa bayalii a mabeembe: «Dimaasa bi bioosi nha! A dikitisi nzo a Taayi a me pe mu uba nzo a mumbungu!»To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17Miyii mia nde mialibili moonyi mu mandaa maa mu Mabasonuu ma Ngira: «Oo Nziaambi, litoono li me ndi na lo mu nzo a we, lili mu unyeengese me weti mbaa.»His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18Ni mu buu, bakuutu ba Bayuudayo bamufuuli: «Ki imaanga we utuu usa mu umweese bisi ti we na muswa wa uyiluu mandaa ma pili yii?»On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19Yiisu avutili kwaa bo: «Ditsala nzo a Nziaambi yiinayi, na mu biluumbu bitata me sa bwatuungu yo.»Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20Bo bamuleeli: «Imaa? Babatuungi yo basi bilimi maku-mana na bisamina. Ka we, we sa bwatuungu yo mu biluumbu bitata?»“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21Ka nzo a Nziaambi yi Yiisu akitsuu mu yo, ali nyutu a nde makulu.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22Ni mu buu, mu taanga di Yiisu asiimbii mu babakwa, miyii mia nde mialibili moonyi ti nde aleeli buu. Na bo basi imiini mu Mabasonuu ma Ngira na mu mandaa ma Yiisu aleeli.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.

23Bu Yiisu ali ku ngaanda a Yeruselemi mu taanga dia mukuungi a Paaka, babalayi basi imiini mu kuumbu a nde, bu bakimono bimaanga bi nde akiyiluu.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24Ka Yiisu a asi mutimi mu bo pe, mundaa ti nde ayaabi bo boosi bubwe-bubwe.But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25Nde a ali na nzala pe ti bayaabisa nde ndaa so mosi, mundaa ti nde makulu ali ayaaba matsimi ma mitimi mia baata.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
