< John 2 >

1 The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
Te phoeikah a thum hnin ah Galilee kah Kana ah yulueinah om, tih Jesuh kah a manu khaw khoem om.
2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
Te vaengah Jesuh neh a hnukbang rhoek tah yulueinah ah rhen a khue.
3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
Te vaengah misurtui vawt tih Jesuh kah a manu loh Jesuh taengah, “Misurtui a khueh uh voel moenih,” a ti nah.
4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
Tedae Jesuh loh a manu taengah, “Huta, nang neh kai taengah balae aka om? Kai kah a tue te ha pawk hlan,” a ti nah.
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
A manu loh tueihyoeih rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah a thui te tah saii uh,” a ti nah.
6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
Te vaengah Judah rhoek kah a khueh uh cimcaihnah ham lungto amrhaeng parhuk tah tapkhoeh om. Te dongah doh nit neh doh thum tah rhip ael.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Amrhaeng te tui koei uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah te rhoek te malh a koei uh.
8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
Te phoeiah amih te, “Duek uh lamtah taemkung taengla khuen uh laeh,” a ti nah tih a khuen uh tangloeng.
9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom
Taemkung loh misurtui la aka poeh tui te a ten dae me lamkah a thoeng khaw ming pawh. Tedae tui aka duek tueihyoeih rhoek loh a ming.
10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”
Te dongah taemkung loh yulokung amah te a khue tih, “Hlang boeih loh misurtui a huem te lamhma la a tawn tih a rhui uh vaengah a dudap te a tawn uh. Nang tah tahae duela misurtui a huem te na paih,” a ti nah.
11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Jesuh loh miknoek a saii te Galilee kah Kana ah a tongcuek tih amah kah thangpomnah te a phoe. Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek loh amah te a tangnah uh.
12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
Te phoeiah amah loh a manu, a mana rhoek, a hnukbang rhoek te Kapernaum la a suntlak puei. Tedae khohnin a sen pahoi a rhaeh uh moenih.
13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Judah rhoek kah yoom tah om tom tih Jesuh khaw Jerusalem la cet.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
Bawkim ah vaito, tu, vahu, aka yoi rhoek neh tangkatho rhoek a ngol uh te a hmuh.
15 He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.
Te dongah rhui te rhuihet la a saii tih tu neh vaito te bawkim khui lamloh boeih a vai. Te phoeiah tangkathung rhoek kah tangka te a hawk pah tih caboei te boeih a palet pah.
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
Te phoeiah vahu aka yoi rhoek te, “He rhoek he vawl khuenuh. A pa kah im he hnoyoih im la saii uh boeh,” a ti nah.
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
Na im kah kosi loh kai n'yoop ni tila a daek tangtae aka om te a hnukbang rhoek loh a poek uh.
18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
Te vaengah Judah rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “He rhoek he na saii dongah me bang miknoek lae kaimih nan tueng eh?” a ti nauh.
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Hekah Bawkim he phae uh lamtah a thum hnin ah ka thoh ni,” a ti nah.
20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Hekah Bawkim tah kum sawmli kum rhuk a sak uh dae nang loh hnin thum ah na thoh ayaw te?” a ti nah.
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
Te tah amah pum kah bawkim kawng ni a thui dae.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
Te dongah duek lamkah a thoh daengah ni a thui he khaw a hnukbang rhoek loh a poek uh. Te veangah Jesuh loh a thui olka neh cacim te a tangnah uh.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
Khotue kah yoom vaengah tah Jerusalem ah om tih amah ming te muep a tangnah uh. Amah kah miknoek a saii te khaw a hmuh uh.
24 But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
Tedae Jesuh loh boeih a ming dongah amah neh amah te amih taengah pumpae rhep pawh.
25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
Hlang kawng te pakhat khaw phong ham a ngoe moenih, amah loh hlang khuikah aka om te a ming.
