John 2 (LYN) · Opened

1Ba liywaa no waatu, sebeli ku tendiwa omukiti no likwala mu Kana na mu Galileya. Mi inawaye Jesu kwana kwikala,On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2Jesu ni yonyene sebeli oisaniwako ku likwala na iyetwa aye.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3Cwale ewaine aba ina kubwa, inawaye Jesu sebeli wamba kwa yonyene nji, “Ewaine naibu.”When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4Cwale Jesu sebeli otambula inawaye nji, “Inawange, etaba yange ni wene ibine? Enako yange kai sikeela kale.”“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5Inawaye Jesu sebeli wambela abika nji, “Mutende eso asa myambele sonje.”His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6Cwale kame kuna kwikala otucoo no mawee tuna kukwana tutanu ni kamweya (6) tu suminwe abo, otu tuyowelelwa mu mukwa no Majuda, akanjili ni kanjili kame kana ku shimba owima ukuma ba mwanda.Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7Jesu sebeli waambela nji, “Mwitelemo ameyi twiiyale.” Mi sebeli atwiyata mane niku yubooka.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8Jesu sebeli waambela nji, “Cwale mu tekulemo mi mu twalele osi kutaba eilya no mukiti.” Mi sebeli amu twalela.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9Cwale omutabi no ilya no mukiti aba ana kwetekako ku meyi ana ku futulwa ewaine, kakuli kasi kulimuka omo ina ku tunda, (kame kuna ku limukiwa feela abika ana ku tekula ameyi), omwendisi no mukiti sebeli oisana omukwatiand 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

10ni kwamba kwa yonyene nji, “Omunu yonje kame abaanga ewaine no ku mamata oweli, mi cwale aanu aba mana okukoliwa onene, cwale okubinda aabe eyi no kwamuba, kono wene kame ona teula eyi no kuwaba konji abano!”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!”

11Yo kame emakazo no weli eyi ana kutenda Jesu mu Kana no Galileya, mi sebeli omonisa ekanya yaye, na iyetwa aye sebeli apumena mwa yonyene.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12Aba kuna kubwa eyo, Jesu sebeli oshetumuka ku Kapenauma, ni Inawaye na inaaye, na iyetwa aye, mi omo sebeli aikalamo amaywaa no kucaniba feela.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13Epaseka no Majuda aba ina kukeela abeebi, cwale Jesu sebeli okambamena ku Jelusalema.When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14Ba patelo no Ndoo ya Nyambe sebeli oka wanabo asi ku ulisa etingombe ni mikoko ni tunkwilimba, naasi kucinca amali aikalile ba myuulo yoo.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15Cwale Jesu sebeli okutendela olunupa no mihala icana, mi onje sebeli waacitela ku ndee no patelo no Ndoo ya Nyambe, bamweya ni mikoko ni tingombe, ni kwitela banji amali no asikucinca mane ni ku kwisa etitafule too.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.

16Cwale sebeli wambela asi kuulisa otunkwilimba nji, “Mu tundise einu eyi yonje! Kamufanene okutenda endoo ya Sitange okwifutula endoo no kuuliseta!”To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17Aiyetwa aye sebeli apuluka cwale esi sina kun̄oliwa nji, “Kame ni liwa mu kutukufalelwa endoo ya sitange.”His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18Cwale aendisi no Majuda sebeli aibanguta Jesu nji, “Ibine emakazo otu monisa nji kame oli ni maata no kutenda eyi no ngeesi?”On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19Jesu sebeli waatambula nji, “Mu yakulule Endoo eyi, mi mene mba ni ingula mu maywaa aatu.”Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20Aendisi no Majuda sebeli aamba kwa yonyene nji, “Kame ina kwana emyaka makumi anee ni mutanu ni kamweya (46) ba kuyaka Endoo ya Nyambe eyi, cwale wene mbwiiyaka mu maywaa aatu?”“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21Kono kame ana kwamba Endoo ya Nyambe no lutu lwaye.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22Abo cwalehe aba ana kumana okwiingulwa kwaafu, aiyetwa aye sebeli apuluka nji kame ana kwaambela eyo, mi sebeli apumena elin̄olo ni liywi elyo ana kwamba Jesu.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.

23Cwale yooli mu Jelusalema ku mukiti no Paseka, aanu no kupula sebeli apumena mu litina lyaye aba ana kumona etimakazo ana kutenda.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24Kono Jesu kaasi kwasepa,But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25kakuli kame ana kulimuka aanu onje, mi kasi kusinga oupaki no munu kakuli kame ana ku limuka esi sili mu munu.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
