John 2 (NWW) · Opened

1Linjubha lya ndatu kukibhegha Chekwa ya kutolana mukitami kya Kana, ku nkoa ghwa Galilaya, naywo mama ywake Yesu kakibhegha akwo.On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2Yesu na ahundwa bhake bhakilalikwa bhubho kuchekwa ayo ya kutolana.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3Difwai payipelite mama ywake Yesu kakinng'ombela Yesu, “Bhapelelwa difwai.”When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4Yesu kakinnyanga, “Mama megha na niki na ghwenga? Lisaa lyangu likali kuhika.”“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5Mama ywake Yesu kakiaghombela bhala andumitumi, “Lyoheli lyakapala kubhaghombela mukitende.”His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6Hino, hikibhegha hibhigha sita hya kubhikila machi, hiitendekehitwe kwa malibho kwakya kuliyogha kwa hitohe hya Akaayahudi, kila kibhigha kikikwila hijoba hibhili ebu hindatu.Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7Yesu kakiaghombela bhala andumindumi bhake, “Muhimemekehe machi hibhigha ahi.” Bhombe bhakihimemekeha ng'enang'ena.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8Mbole kakiaghombela, “Hinu nteke machi agha ghamandina, mukampeghe nkola chekwa.” Bhala andumindumi bhakitenda habhu.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9Yula nkola chekwa kakighapaha ghala machi ghaaghalambukite kubhegha difwai, kakimanya ng'obhe kuyihumite difwai yila. Peni bhala andumitumi bhaatekite machi, bhombe bhakimanya. Kakinkemela bambo ghwa chekwa pambweghaand 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 kakinng'ombela, “Bhandu bhoha apangagha huti difwai ya maha, mbole bhandu paanywegha muno na kukwila, bhangupanga difwai ya bhwakabhwaka, peni ghwenga ghuyibhika difwai ya maha mbaka hinu!”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!”

11Aghu ndo yikibhegha naho ya kandahi ya Yesu ghakayitendite akwo Kukana ya Kugalilaya. Naha Yesu kakiyimiha ukulu ghwake na ahundwa bhake bhakinhyubhalila.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12Mbole ya agha, Yesu papamu na mama ywake na alongo bhake na ahundwa bhake, bhakighenda ku Kapelinaumu na bhakitama akwo kwa manjubha gha mandina.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13Payiheghelelite kikubhukubhu kya Pasaka yila ya Akaayahudi, Yesu kakighenda ku Yelusalemu.When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14Hino, akwo kulubhigho lwa Kitutubhi kya Chapanga kakiabhona bhandu paahemela makambako gha senga na mene na ngunda, na bhangi bhakitama mu hindangabhala paahemengana ngalabha.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15Kakitendekeha kighwechulo kya lughoyi, kakiabhingabhinga bhoha kubhuka panji ya lubhigho lwa Kitutubhi kya Chapanga, papamu na makambako gha senga na mene, kakighwiha hindangabhala hya bhala bhanakuhemengana ngalabha na kuhiyita ngalabha hyabhe,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.

16kakiaghombela bhala bhanguchuusa ngunda, “Muhibhuhe ahi apa! Nkotoke kuyitenda Kitutubhi kya Chapanga Tate ghwangu kukita ndo ligulio!”To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17Bhala ahundwa bha Yesu bhakikulungwa kukita Malembo gha Chapanga ghatyekwa, “Upalo ghwangu kwa Kitutubhi kyako Chapanga ghwanyocha handa mwoto nkati yangu, ghwenga Chapanga ywangu.”His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18Ndo Akaayahudi bhakinkonya, “Gwaahotola kutubhoneha naho yoki kutulaha kukita ghani kaghulaghila kughutenda nnando aghu?”On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19Yesu kakiayanga, “Nboghoyole kitutubhi aki kya Chapanga, na nenga ndayichenga kangi kwa manjubha mandatu.”Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20Bhala Akaayahudi bhakilongela, “Kitutubhi aki kya Chapanga kichengwa kwa ngungwa kumi ncheche na sita! Ghwenga ghwahotola bhuli kuyichenga kwa manjubha mandatu?”“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21Peni Yesu pakalongelite milando ya Kitutubhi kya Chapanga kakibhegha kangulubhulila ya kya mmili ghwake.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22Mbole ya Yesu kuhyuka, ahundwa bhake bhakikulungwa ghala ghakalongelite, ndo bhakihyubhalila Malembo na ghala malagho ghakalongelite 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.

23Yikibhegha pala Yesu pakabheghite ku Yelusalemu kukikubhukubhu kya Akaayahudi lihina lyake Pasaka, bhandu atangalo bhakinhyubhalila pabhabhonite naho na mihabho yakayitendite.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24Peni Yesu kakiahyubhalila ng'obhe, kiyaha ywombe kakiyimanya mahwacho gha mumyoyo yabhe.But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25Yesu kakipalaha ng'obhe mundu ili kakanyimihe bhula paabheghite bhandu. Mwene kakimanya kala kila kiibheghite munkati ya kila mundu.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
