1Lek bouk tiwei yal eno iingama ti qandi nanghei beyeeng Kana eivek Galili. Yesu ta la toundei inyon woy atax,On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2me Yesu is e xe xel betiyeing is ambei nyon, xel wo dik wou xel en iingama yon.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3Gyeik ingwei wain ma, eno Yesu ta neil wou e, “Wain ma veil xel o.”When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4Yesu neil elox bei, “Tang, wang neil ambei nyon wou ay enva? Bouk wei ay eno se ghei lam.”“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5Moxo ta neil wou xel xukxe, “Xam ghe bong vati wei embei neil wou xam o.”His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6Deng qakous ngandoung limti mi nale paviy nanghei inyon, xel Yudayeiw mi lipek eivek nambei xel xe kwa. Memiing nimaying nambei 100 lita eno mi nale eivek titi.Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7Yesu neil wou xel xukxe bei, “Xam a taw memiing eivek deng qakous on xel xouing.” Om xel taw eivek me e pup.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8Woyom moxo neil wou xel bei, “Xam zakouv valu gweimbeeng me na qou me na wou tambiy wei la tax en mata yo.” Om xel wong ambei nyon,“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9me teiv wei la tax en mata eno num me axe bei memiing pekwi wain. Moxo se woulek bei inyon lam anghei inya, qe xel xukxe wei di taw memiing eno woulek. Woyom moxo taxe moux wei embei dii vex o la beyaleingand 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

10me neil embei, “Xel dalus mi wong wain wei nenyeing o me xel mi num atax, deka xel num ngenong woy, xel wong ingwei lavus o me xel num yus. Ekom wang byexaxoun ingwei nimza yo de gweimbeeng kane eno wang qou me lam.”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 wong e xe lulvako tiwei tax o nambei dee nanghei Kana, danghei wei Galili nei. Moxo talex e xe nikanzek ngandoung teyei me e xe xel betiyeing yei me wongis e.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12Ka tine la veil eno moxo lep me la xo Kapenaom nei is ta me liyeiw me e xe xel betiyeing. Xel dei bouk valu nanghei inyei.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13Ka bouk wo sepi lek en Yudayeiw xe Pasova, Yesu lek me la Yerusalem.When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14Eivek tete lalei wei xomek vambuing eno moxo yei xel moux di wong vateivek lek manghaxo, me sipsip me beliy, de xel valu toundei lek lelek me pakei malew wouma.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15Om Yesu qou yis valu me viy me tiy xel vula veil xomek vambuing is sipsip me manghaxo. Moxo qapyex malew selewa wei xel di pakei eno veil de qapyex xel xe lelek is.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.

16Woyom neil wou xel wei di wong vateivek lek beliy o bei, “Xam qou menek beimambei ne me la veil inye! Xam seng bong Mang xe xomek bong ambei xomek wei vateivek o!”To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17De e xe xel betiyeing wounaleind en qayeeng wei yeip eivek qapiya wei petieing o nambei nye, “A laleing vind wa xe xomek om a wong xuk nikanzek bei bong xomek ne na toumendei nimza.”His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18Woyom xel Yudayeiw neil wou Yesu bei, “Tyek wa talex dee wei lulvako en vati eno wou xa en xa boulek bei wang wo lei ngandoung en wambei mi bong lulti beimambei yon dalus?”On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19Yesu neil wou xel bei, “Xam lelolexe xomek vambuing tine, de tyek a dev epyap no eivek bouk yal.”Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20De Yudayeiw neil elox bei, “Xel wong xuk lek eveing xomek vambuing ne teyei lek vakovek qes mepyeiyuw me lak limti, de tyek wang dev e qandi lek eivek bouk yal?”“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21Ekom xomek vambuing wei moxo neil on inyon emaxow neing.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22Ka Yesu qandi lek veil meyeing, e xe xel betiyeing wou naleind en vati wei e neil o. Woyom xel wongis xoulek wei di yeip eivek qapiya yo me qayeeng wei Yesu neil o.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.

23Ka Yesu toundei Yerusalem eivek mata wei Pasova yo, eno xomaxoneing ngenongakes yei dee wei lulvako wei wong o me wongis e lei.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24Ekom Yesu venaxow woulek xow om se wongis xel, en moxo woulek xomaxoneing dalus.But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25Moxo se wounalei en xelti bei na neil wou xomaxoneing, en moxo woulek vati wei toundei eivek xomaxoneing laleind o.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
