John 2 (YAO) · Opened

1Pagamasile moŵa gaŵili wapali ulombela musi wa ku Kana chilambo cha ku Galilaya. Ni achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵaliji kweleko,On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao nombe ŵalalichikwe ku ulombela wo.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3Pajamasile divai jiŵalingenye kwa ligongo lya ulombela, achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nganakola divai!”When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nkaasalila chakupanganya, katema kangu kakanaŵe kwika.”“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5Pelepo achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵaasalile achikatumetume, “Chachilichose chichansalile, mpanganye.”His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6Pelepo syapali lulo syekulungwa nsano ni umo sya maganga, lwaluli lose lwakombwele kugumbala lulo sya mwana siŵili pane sitatu sya meesi. Syaŵichikwe pelepo mpela itite pakusyoŵeleka kwa Ŵayahudi kutaga meesi ga kuliswejesya kwaligongo lya kwapopelela Akunnungu.Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7Che Yesu ŵaasalile achikatumetume ŵala, “Ngumbasye meesi lulo syo.” Ni ŵanyawo ŵagumbesye ndendende.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8Nipele ŵaasalile, “Sano ntechanje munjauchisye jwankulu jwa chindimba.” Ni ŵanjauchisye.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9Jwankulu jwa chindimba paŵajipasisye divai jijaliji meesi kundanda, nombejo nganakumanyilila kujikopochele divai jo, nambo achikatumetume ŵala ŵaimanyi. Jwankulu jwa chindimba jula ŵambilasile nlombela,and 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 kunsalila, “Mundu jwalijose kundanda akwapa ŵandu divai jambone ni ŵamalaga kung'wa ni kukolelwa akwapa janganong'a nnope. Nambo mmwejo ntupele divai jambone mpaka sambano.”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!”

11Chelechi chili chimanyisyo chakusimosya chandanda chiŵapanganyisye Che Yesu mmusi wa ku Kana chilambo cha ku Galilaya ni ŵaulosisye ukulu wao nombe ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaakulupilile.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12Payamasile yeleyo, Che Yesu pamo ni achikulugwe ni achapwakwe ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵala ŵatuluchile ku Kapelenaumu. Ŵatemi kweleko moŵa kanandi.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13Katema ka lyuŵa lyekulungwa lya Pasaka ja Ŵayahudi kaŵandichile ni Che Yesu ŵakwesile ku Yelusalemu.When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14Pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ŵaasimene ŵandu achisumisyaga ng'ombe ni ngondolo ni nguunda ni ŵakutindanya mbiya ali atemi.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15Ŵapotile ngonji ni kuŵa lubokola ni ŵaaŵinjile wose paasa pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pamo ni ng'ombe ni ngondolo syao. Ni ŵapikulenye mesa sya ŵakutindanya mbiya ŵala ni kumwasya mbiya syao.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.

16Ni ŵaŵaliji nkusumisya nguunda ŵala ŵaasalile, “Ntyosyanje pelepa indu yi. Nkajipanganya nyuumba ja Atati ŵangu kuŵa nyuumba jakusumichisya malonda!”To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakumbuchile kuti, malembelo gakusala, “Alakwe Akunnungu, unonyelo wangu kwa nyuumba jenu ukundinisya mpela mooto mu ntima.”His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18Ilongola ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana chimpanganye chimanyisyo chachi chakusimosya chakutulosya kuti nkwete lilamulo lya kupanganya yelei?”On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngumulanje Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji, ni uneji chindaŵe kwa moŵa gatatu pe.”Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20Pelepo Ŵayahudi ŵala ŵatite, “Aji Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji twataŵile kwa yaka makumi ncheche konjechesya nsano ni umo. Ana mmwejo chinkombole chinauli kujitaŵa kwa moŵa gatatu?”“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21Nambo Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jiŵajigambaga Che Yesu jo jaliji chiilu chakwe nsyene.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22Nipele Che Yesu paŵasyuchile, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakumbuchile kuti ŵaŵechete gelega, ni ŵagakulupilile Malembelo ga Akunnungu ni maloŵe gaŵaŵechete Che Yesu gala.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.

23Che Yesu paŵaliji ku Yelusalemu mmoŵa ga chindimba cha Pasaka ŵandu ŵajinji paŵaiweni imanyisyo iŵaipanganyisye ŵaakulupilile.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24Nambo Che Yesu nganalilechelelaga kukwao pakuŵa ŵajimanyilile mitima jaoBut Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25ni pakuŵa ŵaimanyilile uchenene yaili mmitima jao, nganasaka kusalilwa chachilichose nkati ŵandu ŵane.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
