< John 2 >

1 And, on the third day, a marriage, took place, in Cana, of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there, —
Mu lumbu kintatu, nyengo wu makuela wuba ku Kana mu tsi Ngalili. Ngudi Yesu yiba kuna.
2 and Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, unto the marriage.
Yesu ayi minlonguki miandi mamvawu batumusu ku nyengo beni wu makuela.
3 And, wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto him—Wine, have they none!
Vayi zimbukila vinu kimeni. Buna ngudi Yesu yiyiza kunkamba: —Basiedi diaka ayi vinu ko.
4 And Jesus saith unto her—What part can I take with thee, O woman? Not yet, hath come, mine hour.
Yesu wumvutudila: —A nketo, mambu mbi tuidi beto yaku e? Thanguꞌama yifueni ko.
5 His mother saith unto them who are ministering—Whatsoever he may say to you, do!
Buna ngudi andi wukamba bisadi ti: —Luvanga mambu moso ka kuiza lukambi.
6 Now there were there, six stone water-vessels, placed, according to the purification of the Jews; holding each, two or three measures.
Mimvungu minsambanu miba vana mu diambu di lundilanga nlangu, mitulu vana boso bubela kifu ki Bayuda mu kukivedisanga. Mvungu wumosi wulenda kota nduka-nduka khatitsika yi dingungulu di nlangu.
7 Jesus saith unto them—Fill the vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Buna Yesu wukamba bisadi: —Wesanu nlangu mu mimvungu. Buna bawesa mimvungu beni nate vana ntu.
8 And he saith unto them—Draw out now, and be bearing unto the master of the feast. And they bare.
Yesu wubuela kuba kamba diaka: —Buabu bonganu fioti ayi lunata fiawu kuidi nkulutu wu nyengo. Bawu bannatina kiawu.
9 And, when the master of the feast had tasted the water, now made, wine, and knew not whence it was, —though, they who were ministering, knew, even they who had drawn out the water, the master accosteth the bridegroom,
Nkulutu wu nyengo bu babimba nlangu wukituka vinu, kasia zaba ko kuevi kuba vinu beni Vayi bisadi biteka nlangu bizaba. Buna nkulutu wu nyengo wutumisa mu nsualu dibakala diodi dikuela
10 and saith unto him—Every man, first the good wine, setteth out; and, when they had been well-supplied, the inferior: —Thou, hast kept the good wine until, even now.
ayi wunkamba: —Woso kuandi mutu weta tuama kabudila batu vinu kimboti; bosi ku nzimunina wunkabulanga vinu kidekuka, batu bu bameni nua bufuana. Vayi ngeyo kimboti kiawu lundidingi nate thangu yayi.
11 This, beginning of his signs, did Jesus, in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
Kiaki kiawu kumu kitheti mu bikumu bivanga Yesu; kiawu kivangimina ku Kana mu tsi yi Ngalili. Kuna kamonisa nkemboꞌandi ayi minlonguki miandi minwilukila.
12 After this, he came down into Capernaum, —he, and his mother and brethren, and his disciples; and, there, they abode, not many days.
Momo bu mavioka, Yesu wuyenda ku Kafalinawumi va kimosi ayi ngudi andi, ayi bakhomba bandi ayi minlonguki miandi. Ndambu bilumbu kaka bavuandila kuna.
13 And, near, was the passover of the Jews; and, Jesus, went up unto Jerusalem.
Pasika buna yeka nduka, Yesu wuyenda ku Yelusalemi.
14 And he found, in the temple, them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money-changers sitting.
Wumona muna luphangu lu nzo Nzambi minsumbisi mi zingombi, mi mamemi ayi mi mabembi ayi minsienzi mi zimbongo buna mimvuendi.
15 And, making a scourge out of rushes, all of them, thrust he forth out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and, the money-changers’ small coins, poured he forth, and, the tables, he overturned;
Buna wubonga minsinga, wuvanga kikoti. Buna wukuka batu boso ku luphangu lu Nzo Nzambi ayi mamemi ayi zingombi, wuloza zimbongo zi minsienzi va tsi ayi wusengubula zimeza.
16 and unto them who were selling, the doves, he said—Take these things hence! Be not making, the house of my Father, a house of merchandise.
Bosi, wubaluka kuidi minsumbisi mi mabembi, wuba kamba: —Botulanu bima biobi vava! Lubika kitula nzo yi dise diama dizandu!
17 His disciples remembered that it was written—The zeal of thy house, eateth me up.
Minlonguki miandi mitebuka moyo ti busonama: A Nzambi, luzolo luidi yama mu diambu di nzoꞌaku luawu luela kuphondisa.
18 The Jews therefore answered, and said unto him, What sign, dost thou point out to us, in that, these things, thou doest?
Bayuda bamvutudila: —A kumu mbi wulenda vanga mu kutumonisa ti bukiedika lulendo luidiyaku luvangila mambu moso momo e?
19 Jesus answered, and said unto them—Take down this shrine, and, in three days, will I raise it.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Tiolumunanu Nzo Nzambi yayi, ndiela kuyitungila mu bilumbu bitatu.
20 The Jews, therefore, said—In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it!
Buna Bayuda batuba: —Mu makumaya ayi mimvu minsambanu nzo Nzambi yayi yitungulu vayi ngeyo mu bilumbu bitatu kuandi fueti buela kuyitungila?
21 But, he, was speaking concerning the shrine of his body.
Vayi niandi wuyolukila nzo Nzambi yi nitu andi.
22 When, therefore, he had been raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered, that, this, he had been saying; and they believed in the Scripture, and in the word which Jesus had spoken.
Yesu bu kafuluka mu bafua, minlonguki miandi mitebuka moyo ti wutuba buawu. Buna miwilukila masonuku ayi mambu momo matuba Yesu.
23 Now, when he was in Jerusalem, during the passover, during the feast, many, believed on his name, viewing his signs which he was doing.
Mu thangu Yesu kaba ku Yelusalemi mu nyengo wu Pasika, batu bawombo bamona bikumu biobi kavanga ayi bawilukila mu dizina diandi.
24 Jesus himself, however, was not trusting himself unto them, by reason of his understanding them all,
Vayi yesu kasi kubasila diana ko bila wuzaba batu boso.
25 and because he had, no need, that anyone should bear witness concerning man; for, he, understood what was in man.
Bila kasia ba mfunu ko muingi mutu wunkaka katelama kimbangi mu diambu di mutu wunkaka bila niandi veka wuzaba mambu madi mu mutu.
