John 2 (NKN) · Opened

1Ha litangua lia mucitatu kuakele ciuano ca vulo ku Kana mu Ngalileya, na vaina ya Yesu vakeleko.On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2Yesu na vandongisi vendi navo naua vavalaniene ku ciuano cije.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3Omo viniu viahuile, vaina ya Yesu vahandekele kuli ikeye nguavo, “Viniu vinahu.”When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4Kaha Yesu uahandekele kuli ikeye nguendi, “Yove mpuevo, keti unjileke viakulinga, ntsimbu yange kanda ihete.”“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5Vaina ya Yesu valekele vaje vangamba nguendi, “Lingeni vioshe vije viamileka.”His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6Kuje kuakele vinjava via mavue viakutekuila mema vitanu na imo via Vayunda ngue ku muyati uavo ua kulilelesa, imo na imo yasele kukala na malita a mema akupua vihita (100).Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7Yesu ualekele vaje vangamba nguendi, “Shuliseni evi vinjava na mema.” Kaha vavishulisile vioshe naku kanua.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8Uavalekele nguendi, “Honi tekulenimo amo mutuale kuli mukuluntu ua ciuano.” Nankuma vamutualelele.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9Omo uje mukuluntu ua ciuano uamakelele aje mema aje atengulukile kupua viniu, ikeye katantekeyele kuje kuviahumine vije viniu (cipue vene vaje vangamba vatekuile aje mema vatantekeyele), nankuma mukuluntu ua ciuano uasanene vavenia vuloand 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

10kaha uahandekele kuli ikeye nguendi, “Muntu voshe akalivanga kuhana viniu viacili, ambahoni ahana via vishamu munima ya vaje vavanalania vanapende laja. Vuno honi yove hanga uatulika viniu viacili kuheta na kuntsimbu ino.”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!”

11Yesu ualingile eci citantekeyeso cendi ca kulivanga ku Kana mu Ngalileya, nakusholola vumpau vuendi, na vandongisi vendi vatsilielele muli ikeye.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12Munima yevi, Yesu uaile ku Kapenauma na vaina, na vamuanaye, na vandongisi vendi, vakele kuje matangua amandende lika.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13Omo Ciuano ca Paseka ca Vayunda cakele muyehi, nankuma Yesu uaile ku Yelusalema.When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14Mu vimbalaka via njivo ya Njambi uauanene vantu vaje vakele nakulandeselamo vangombe, na vampanga, na mavembe na vaka kulandulula vimbongo vatumamene ku vimesa viavo.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15Nankuma uapangele likote, voshe uavashekelele hambanza lia vimbalaka via njivo ya Njambi, hamolika na vampanga na vangombe, kaha uombilile vimbongo via muuaya uaya via vaje vakele nakulandulula kaha uafulumikile vimesa viavo.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.

16Kaha ualekele vaje vakele nakulandesa mavembe nguendi, “Tuhuiseni evi viuma muno! Keti mupuise Njivo ya Tate mutambela uakulandesela!”To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17Vandongisi vendi vanukile ngeci vanavisoneka mu visoneka nguavo, “Cizango cange ha Njivo ya Tate cishukuma ngue tuhia muli yange.”His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18Vayunda vamuhuile nguavo, “Cimueso muka uasa kutumuesa ngeci uli na nzili yakama yakulinga eci?”On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19Yesu uavakumbuluile nguendi, “Siuleni eyi Njivo ya Njambi, kaha mu matangua atatu njikaitunga naua.”Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20Kaha Vayunda vahandekele nguavo, “Eyi Njivo ya Njambi vanaitungile mu miaka yakupua makumi auana na miaka itanu na umo (46), kaha yove ukaitunga vati mu matangua atatu?”“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21Vuno honi uakele nakuhandeka Njivo ya Njambi ya muvila uendi.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22Hanima ya kusanguka ku vatsi, vandongisi vendi vanukile nguavo vikevio viahandekele evi, kaha vatsilielelele visoneka na lizi lije liahandekele Yesu.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.

23Honi omo Yesu uakele mu Yelusalema ku ciuano ca Paseka, vavengi vatsilielelele mu lizina liendi omuo vamuene vitantekeyeso vije vialingile.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24Vuno honi Yesu kalihanene ikeye vavenia kuli vakevo,But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25omuo uatantekeyele vantu voshe kaha katondele muntu umo amuleke vukaleho vua hali mukuavo, omuo ikeye vavenia uatantekeyele vije viakele muli muntu uoshe.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
