John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Lishaka lya tatu kuweriti ndowa mulushi lwa Kana, kumkowa Galilaya. Mawu gwakuwi Yesu kaweriti palaa,
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
Yesu pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi nawomberi wawashemiriti ku ndowa.
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]?”
Divayi payiperiti, mawu gwa Yesu kamgambira, “Kwahera divayi.”
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].”
Yesu kamwankula, “Mawu, nagung'ambira shakutenda. Saa yaneni yankali.”
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Mawu gwa Yesu kawagambira wantumintumi, “Mtendi shoseri shakawagambireni.”
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).
Palii paweriti na vulu sita zya mabuwi na kila lumu luweziti kutulwa mashi shyasi sha madebi mawili ama matatu. Iweriti wayitula paliii toziya ya shitiba sha Shiyawudi sha kunawira.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Yesu kawagambira wantumini, “Mumemiziyi viwiga avi mashi.” Nawomberi wavimemiziya mashi nduu,
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.
shakapanu kawagambira, “Vinu mteki mashi aga mwakamjegeri mkulu gwa msambu.” Womberi watola mashi na kumjegera yomberi,
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,
su vinu mashi gagalambusiwa gawera divayi na kagalawalira. Mkulu gwa msambu kavimana ndiri kwayilawiriti divayi, su wantumintumi pawatekiti mashi wavimaniti, mkulu gwa msambu kamshemiti mpalu gwa ndowa
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!”
kamgambira, “Kila muntu kaitandaga divayi iherepa huti ata pawikuta kala, kaitandaga ilii ifaa ndiri. Kumbiti gwenga guitula divayi iherepa mpaka vinu!”
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].
Yesu katenda liuzauza ali lya kwanja haku Kana mu Galilaya, kaulanguziya ukwisa wakuwi na wafundwa wakuwi wamjimira.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Pagalawiriti kala aga, Yesu pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi na walongu wakuwi na wafundwa wagenditi Kafarinaumu na walikaliti kuliya mashaka gavuwa ndiri.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Msambu gwa Pasaka gwa Wayawudi guweriti gwa pakwegera, su Yesu kagenditi Yerusalemu.
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.
Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu kawawoniti wantu wankuwuza wang'ombi na wakondolu na wangunda na viraa wantu wamonga wankuvunjira mpiya pawalivaga pameza zawu. 14
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.
Kanyawiti ntomondu ya lugoyi na kawawinga wavigongolu woseri walawi kunja kwa Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, pamuhera na wakondolu na wang'ombi, kazigalambuziya meza zawatendiriti kuvunjira mpiya na kuzipalasiya mpiya zawu,
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!”
na kawagambira walii woseri yawaweriti wankuwuza wangunda, “Muusii vintu avi panu! Muleki kutenda numba ya Tati gwangu iweri pahala pa soku!”
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.”
Wafundwa wakuwi waliholiti Malembu ntambu yagalembitwi, “Mlungu, kulilaviya kwaneni munumba mwaku kuyaka mumoyu mwangu gambira motu.”
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?”
Wakulu wa Shiyawudi wamu wamkosiya Yesu, “Hagutendi liuzauza gaa kutulanguziya twenga handa gwana uwezu kutenda vitwatira avi?”
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Yesu kawankula, “Hambomoli Numba nkulu ya Mlungu ayi, neni hanuyijengi kayi kwa mashaka matatu.”
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]”
Wayawudi wamkosiya, “Numba nkulu ya Mlungu ayi waijengiti kwa mivinja milongu msheshi na sita! Hashi, gwenga hagujengi kwa mashaka matatu?”
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Kumbiti numba nkulu ya Mlungu Yesu yakayitakuliti ndo nshimba yakuwi.
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].
Su pakazyukisiwitwi kulawa kwa wahowiti, wafundwa wakuwi waliholiti handa katakuliti aga na wagaaminiti Malembu Mananagala na shilii shakatakuliti Yesu.
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.
Yesu pakaweriti Yerusalemu shipindi sha msambu gwa Pasaka, wantu wavuwa wamjimiriti pawawoniti mauzauza gakatenditi.
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].
Yesu kalilaviya ndiri kwa womberi, toziya kayimaniti myoyu yawu woseri.
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
Kafira ndiri wamgambiri shoseri kuusu wantu, toziya kavimaniti weri vitwatira vyoseri yaviweriti mumyoyu mwawu.
