< John 2 >

1 The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
Pazuva rechitatu muchato wakaitwa paKana yomuGarirea. Mai vaJesu vaivapo,
2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
uye Jesu navadzidzi vake vakanga vakokwawo kumuchato uyu.
3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
Waini yakati yapera, mai vaJesu vakati kwaari, “Havachina waini.”
4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
Jesu akapindura akati, “Nhai mai, munondipinzireiko mune izvi? Nguva yangu haisati yakwana.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
Mai vake vakati kuvaranda, “Itai zvose zvaanokuudzai.”
6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
Pakare ipapo pakanga pane makate amabwe matanhatu, anoshandiswa navaJudha patsika dzavo dzokushamba, rimwe nerimwe raizara namarita ari pakati pamakumi mapfumbamwe nezana namakumi mana.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
Jesu akati kuvaranda, “Zadzai makate nemvura.” Saka vakaazadza kusvikira pamuromo.
8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
Ipapo akati kwavari, “Chicherai imwe zvino mugoipa kumukuru womutambo.” Vakaita saizvozvo.
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
Uye mukuru womutambo akaravira mvura yakanga yashandurwa ikava waini. Haana kuziva kwayakanga yabva, kunyange zvazvo varanda vakanga vachera mvura vaiziva havo. Ipapo akadana chikomba parutivi
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!”
akati, “Munhu wose anotanga kubudisa waini inonaka chose, zvino shure kwokunge vanhu vakakokwa vanwa zvakanyanyisa, ipapo anozobudisa isinganaki; asi iwe wachengeta yakaisvonaka kusvikira zvino.”
11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Jesu akaita chiratidzo ichi chokutanga paKana yomuGarirea. Nokudaro akaratidza kubwinya kwake, uye vadzidzi vake vakatenda kwaari.
12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
Shure kwaizvozvo akaburuka akaenda kuKapenaume namai vake, navanunʼuna vake uye navadzidzi vake. Vakagara ikoko kwamazuva mashoma.
13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Pasika yavaJudha yakati yava pedyo, Jesu akakwira kuJerusarema.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
Muzvivanze zvetemberi akawana vanhu vachitengesa mombe, makwai nenjiva, uye vamwe vakanga vagere patafura vachitsinhana mari.
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.
Saka akaruka tyava yerwodzi, akadzinga vose kubva panzvimbo yetemberi, zvose makwai nemombe; akarasa kwose kwose mari yavakanga vachitsinhana, uye akapidigura tafura dzavo.
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
Akati kuna avo vakanga vachitengesa njiva, “Budisai zvinhu izvi muno! Hamufaniri kushandura imba yababa vangu muchiita musika wokutengeserana!”
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
Vadzidzi vake vakarangarira kuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi, “Kushingairira imba yenyu kuchandipedza.”
18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
Ipapo vaJudha vakati kwaari, “Ungatipa chiratidzo chipi chingatiradza pachena kuti unoita zvinhu izvi zvose nesimba ripi?”
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Jesu akavapindura akati, “Paradzai temberi iyi, uye ini ndichaivakazve mumazuva matatu.”
20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
VaJudha vakapindura vakati, “Zvakatora makore makumi mana namatanhatu kuti temberi iyi ivakwe, uye iwe uchaimutsa mumazuva matatu?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
Asi temberi yaaireva waiva muviri wake.
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.
Shure kwokumuka kwake kubva kuvakafa, vadzidzi vake vakarangarira zvaakanga ambotaura. Ipapo vakatenda Magwaro namashoko akanga ataurwa naJesu.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
Zvino paakanga ari muJerusarema paMutambo wePasika, vanhu vazhinji vakaona zviratidzo zvaakanga achiita vakatenda muzita rake.
24 But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
Asi Jesu haana kuvimba navo, nokuti aiziva vanhu vose.
25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
Akanga asingatsvaki uchapupu hwomunhu pamusoro pomunhu nokuti akanga achiziva zvakanga zviri mumunhu.
