John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Ajingin Galilee gamsunga Cana khoa kichena golvah kingon khat aumin ahi. Chua chun Yeshua nu jong aumiin,
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
Chule hiche kingona'a chun Yeshua leh aseijui ho jong akouvu ahi.
3 When the guests had drunk all the wine [that was there], Jesus’ mother said to him, “The wine is all gone; [can you do something about that]?”
Golvahna aum petnin lengpi twi alhing tahih in, anu chun Yeshua jah'a “Lengpi twi anei tapouve,” ati.
4 Jesus said to her, “Ma’am/Woman, (do not [tell] me [what to do]!/why do you [tell] me [what to do]?) [RHQ] It is not yet time [MTY] [to show] that I am [the Messiah by working miracles].”
“Ngailut umtah numei, hichu eiho boipidi ahipoi” tia Yeshuan adonbut ahi. “Keima phat lhing loulai hichu,” ati.
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Ahivangin anu chun lhacha ho jah'a, “Aman najah uva asei ipi hijongleh bol un,” ati.
6 There were six [empty] stone jars there. The Jews [habitually put water in them] to use for washing things [to make them acceptable to God]. Each jar held (20 to 30 gallons/80 to 120 liters).
Akom tah uva chun Judate dan dung jui'a kisuhtheng na songbel lentah gup uma ahi. Bel khat chu twi-thei dim som nia pat somthum dol cheh ahi.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Yeshuan soh ho jah'a “Songbel ho chu twi sung dimun,” ati. Amahon songbel ho chu twi asung dim phatnun,
8 Then he told them, “Now, ladle out some [of it] and take it (to the head waiter/to the master of ceremonies).” So the servants did that.
Aman ajah'uva, “Tun phabep thaldoh unlang golvah vaihompa henga choiyun,” ati. Hiti chun lhacha ho chun athupeh bang chun aboltauve.
9 (The head waiter/The master of ceremonies) tasted the water, which had now become wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants who had ladled out the wine knew. [The wine was delicious]! So he called the bridegroom over,
Golvah vaihompa chun, twisih lengpi twi kisosah chu atep khah phatnin, ahung kondohna hechen louvin (Lhacha hon vang aheuve), moulang chu akoutai.
10 and said to him, “Everyone [else] serves the best wine first. Then when the guests have drunk so much [that they cannot tell the difference], [they serve] the cheap wine. But you [have not done what others do]. You have kept the best wine until now!”
Aman ajah'a, “Kinbol'a chun lengpi twi chihpen ahomdoh masa jin, mihon adon khop tengle, adaojep ahomji bouve. Ahin nangman tugeiyin achih pen nahom nalaiye!” ati.
11 That was the first miracle that Jesus did. He did it in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. By doing it he showed how awesome he is, and as a result, [we] his disciples believed that he [truly was the Messiah].
Galilee gam'a Cana khoa hiche melchih na kidang abol hi ama loupi kiphon dohna dinga anatoh masapen ahi. Chuin aseijuiten ama atahsan tauve.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Kichena golvah kichai jin, ama le anu toh, asopiho toh, chule aseijui ho toh Capernaum a nikho phabep din ache tauvin ahi.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Chuin Judah te kalchuh kut anai phat in, Yeshua Jerusalem'a achetai.
14 There, in the Temple [courtyard], he saw some men who were selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons [for sacrifices]. He also saw men who were sitting at tables, [making a big profit as they] gave people [Temple tax] coins in exchange for [their Roman] coins.
Houin sunga chun aman kivei mihon kilhaina thilto ding bongho, kelngoiho chule vapal ho ajoh'uva chuleh sum lhengho atouvu amu dohtai.
15 Then Jesus made a whip from some cords and [used it to] chase out the sheep and cattle from the Temple [courtyard]. By overturning their tables he scattered the coins of the men who were exchanging them.
Hichun Yeshuan khao phabep'a jepna ding asem in, amaho jouse chu Houin a konin adeldoh in, chule aman bongho le kelngoi ho anodoh'in, sum lhengho sumnong chu athethang peh'in chule adokhangu alekhup pehtai.
16 He said to those who were selling doves, “Take these doves away [from here]! Stop [defiling] my Father’s Temple [by] making it a market!”
Chuin, vapal joh ho koma achen ajah uva, “Hiche hohi hilai mun'a konin podoh un. Kapa In chu nanghon kailhang mun sosah hih un,” ati.
17 Then [we] disciples remembered that these words had been written {that [someone/David] had written [these words]} [in the Scriptures prophesying what the Messiah would say]: “Others [PRS] will strongly oppose me because I greatly desire that [people respect] your Sacred Tent.”
Hichun aseijuiten, Pathen lekhabua themgao thusei, “Na-in dinga katompan hin katha jouse eine chaiye,” tichu ahin gel doh tauve.
18 So [one of] the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied to him, “What miracle will you perform to show us that [you have authority from God] to do these things?”
Ahivangin Judah vaipo hon ajah'a “Ipi ham nabol? Hitobang bolna dinga thuneina Pathen in napeh mong ahileh amelchihna kidang khat neimusah un,” atiuve.
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Aphai, hiche Houin hi suchim un, chule Keiman nithum in tungdoh inge,” ati.
20 So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “We have been building this Temple for 46 years [and it is not finished yet]! So (there is no way you will build it within three days!/how will you build it within three days?) [RHQ]”
Hichun amaho tijatah'in, “Hiche Houin sah na a kum som li le kum gup jen lut'a, nangin nithum'a iti nasah doh ding ong?” atiuve.
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Ahivangin, Yeshuan hiche Houin ati chu Ama tahsa aseina ahibouve.
22 [Later], after Jesus had [died and had] become alive again, [we] his disciples remembered the words he had said. As a result, we believed [what had been prophesied in] the Scriptures [about the Messiah becoming alive again], and we believed that what Jesus said [was true].
Hiche hi Ama thina a kona kaithouva a um nung chun, aseijuiten ipi aseina ahi ahin geldoh un, Pathen lekhabua thuho leh Yeshua thusei ho atahsan tauve.
23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many people came to believe [that he was the Messiah] because they saw the miracles he was performing.
Kalchuh kut laiya, Jerusalem'a aumpet'a Yeshuan thil kidang melchihna abolho jeh chun mitamtah in ama atahsan tauve.
24 But he did not let them tell him what he should do [as the Messiah], because he knew within himself what they were all [thinking].
Ahivangin amaho chu Yeshuan atahsan poi, ajehchu mihem hina chu aman ahetsa ahi.
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
Ama dingin mikhat thudol adang khat in ama henga hettohsah angaipoi, ajeh chu mijouse lungsung ahetsa ahi.
