John 2 (WBI) · Opened

1Ye fikilile ifighono fidatu, kwe vulyale uvutolani ku kikaaja ikya Kana mukighavo ikya Galilaya ghwope ung'hina ghwa Yesu pwealyale pa vutolani uvuo.On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2U Yesu na vavulanisivua vaake voope pwevalyale pa vutolani uvuo ulwakuva valyakutilue.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3Unsiki ye vamalile uluhuuje, ung'hina ghwa Yesu akambuula uYesu akati, “Vasila luhuuje”.When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4U Yesu akamwamula ung'hina akati, “Mama, kiki ukumbuula isio? Unsiki ughwa kuvomba imbombo jango ghukyale”“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5Pe ung'hina akavavuula avavombi akati, “Kino kyaikuvavuula, muvombaghe.”His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6Pa vutolani pala pwesilyale isaaji ntanda isa mavue. Isaaji isio silyale sa malenga agha kusogha, muliva kuvalasia ndavule lwale lwiho ku Vayahudi, ulusaji lumo lukamemagha amalenga amateneka ghavili nambe ghatatu.Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7UYesu akavavuula avavombi vala akati, “Mumemie amalenga mu saaji isio.” Avavombi vala vakamemia.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8Pe akavavuula avavombi vala akati, “Negha amalenga ghamonga mu saaji, muntwalile um'baha ughwa kikulukulu.” Vakavomba ndavule avalaghile.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9Umbaha jula akavonja amalenga ghala ghano ghahambwike kuuva luhuuje, neke naalyakagwile kuno luumile (looli avavombi vano valyaneghile amalenga, valyakagwile kuno luhumile). Pe akankemeela untoola n'dalaand 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

10akamb'buula akati, “Umuunhu ghweni taasi ihumia ihumi uluhuuje ulunono, neke kyande avanu vanywile vakwilile, pe ihumia uluhuuje luno nalunono. Neke uve uvele ujiighe uvikile uluhuuje ulunono kuhanga kuvusililo”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!”

11UYesu alyavombile ikidegho iki ku Kana kukighavo ikya Galilaya, ikidegho ikio kyale kivalilo kya kwanda kuhufia uvuvaha vwake, mu uluo avavulanisivua vaake vakaghina kukumwitika.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12Ikikulukulu kya vutolani yekisilile, uYesu palikimo nu ng'hina na vanuuna na vavulani sivua vaake vakaluta ku likaaja ilya Kapelnaum ukuo vakikala ifighono fidebe.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13Unsiki ughwa kyimike ikya Pasaka ikya Vayahudi ye ghuli piipi, uYesu akaluta ku Yelusalemu.When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14Ye afikile kula, akingila mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, akavaagha avaanhu vighusia ing'ombe, ing'holo ni ng'unda kange avange vakananiagha indalama.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15UYesu akatenda un'jeledi ughwa ngoji, akatengula kukuvadaga vooni mu nyumba mula palikimo ni ng'ombe ni ng'holo saave. Akabilivandula imeesa isa vano vakananiagha indalama na kukung'ha indalama saave.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.

16Avaghusia ing'unda akavavuula akati, “'Vusia ing'unda apa, namungavikaghe inyumba ja Nhata ghwango kuuva lighulilo.”To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17Avavulanisivua vaake vakakumbuka amasio ghano ghalembilue mu malembe amimike kuuti, “Ulughano lwango vwimila inyumba jaako lukumbuda.”His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18Pe avalongosi va Vayahudi vakamposia vakati, Ghuhufia ikivalilo kiki kuvonia kuuti, uli nu vutavulilua uvwa kuvomba isi?”On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19UYesu akavamula akati, memula inyumba inyimike iji ija kufunyila, une nijenga kange mu fighono fidatu.”Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20Pe avalongosi va Vayahudi vakati, “Inyumba inyimike ija kufunyila jilyajengilue amaaka fijigho fine ni ntanda lino lwa ndaani uve ghujenga mu fighono fidatu?”“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21UYesu naakava ijova inyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, ulwene akava ijova vwimila um'bili ghwake.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22Lino ye asyusivue kuhuma ku vafue, avavulanisivua vaake vakakumbuka amasio aghuo ghano alyajovile, vakitika amasio ghano ghalembilue mu malembe amimike na ghano alyajovile uYesu.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.

23UYesu ye ali ku Yelusalemu ku kyimike ikya Pasaka, avaanhu vinga valyamwitike, ulwakuva valyafyaghile ifivalilo vwimila ifidegho fino alyale ivomba.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24Neke uYesu naalyavatang'hinje avaanhu vooni vule valivuo.But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25Kange nakwevulyale uvufumbue muunhu kukum'buula sino avaanhu vakava visaagha ulwakuva alyasikagwile sooni isa mu moojo ghaave.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
