John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Alu lonyi kochingbv Galili gv banggu Kana lo nyida go rito. Hoka Jisu gv Anv ngv dooto,
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
okv nyida hoka Jisu nyila okv ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwa gokto.
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]?”
Vdwlo anggor ala nga jinya pvkudw, Jisu gv anv ngv ninyia minto, “Bunu gvlo anggor ala kaakuma.”
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].”
“Ogugo rise ngvdw no ngam mingkwng svgo kaama,” Jisu mirwkto. “Ngo gv dw ngv vjak aatv madv.”
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Jisu gv Anv ngv pakbu vdwa minto, “Hv ogugo nonua minredw ritoka.”
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).
Jius vdwv pvbv doola arwanyu harkak nanvbv, hoka takam pvchwng vkv pwkv go dooto, pvchwng pwkinnv kai ngv isi laajok lvngbv go aajinv vkv.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Jisu pakbu vdwa minto, “Pvchwng vdw soka isi lokv pwbing tvka.” Bunu pvchwng lvnggung lo godubv pwbing to,
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.
okv vbvrikunamv hv bunua minto, “Vjak isi kvgonyi joklin gvrila nyida nga rigvnv nyi hum jitoka.” Bunu isi a ninyi bvngji toku,
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,
hv vjak anggor ala bv ritoku, okv nw hum tvngka toku. Hv anggor ala hv ogolokv aapvnvdw hum nw chimato (vbvritola, isi a joklinnv pakbu vdwv chinto); vkvlvgabv hv makbu rijinv anga goklwkto
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!”
okv minto, “Nyi mvnwngngv tvngpunv anggor ala alvyanv nga jicho dvnv yikv, okv nyen vdwgv tvnggu dubv tvngro kochingbvku, hv sarchik nvnga jidunv. Vbvritola nonu vjaklodvbv anggor ala alvyachok nvnga doobwng mopv!”
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].
Jisu so lamrwpadubv mvnam a Galili gv kana lo riturike bv rito; hoka hv ninyigv kai nama kaatam toku, okv ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv ninyi mvngjwng toku.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
So kochingbv, Jisu okv ninyigv Anv, achiboru vdwv, okv ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv Kaparnaum bv vngtoku okv hoka lonyi loum go dootoku.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
So si vngbokunam pumja ridwv nvchibv ritoku, vkvlvgabv Jisu Jerusalem bv vngtoku.
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.
Hoka Pwknvyarnvnaam arwng lo svv pioknv nyi, svlar, okv taakw, okv morko lwkmisinv vdwa tvbul lo doodubv hv kaapa toku.
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.
Vkvlvgabv hv svnwngsvmin mvnwngnga bangngi lokv dvnggvrila Pwknvyarnvnaam loka charlin toku, svlar okv svv vdwaka; hv morko lwknv vdwgv tvbulla ngora jito okv bunugv morko lokdwng ngv kaayak padubv mvtoku;
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!”
okv hv taakw pyoknv nyi vdwa minto, “Bunua sokv agumlo bvngroto! ngo abu gv naam a bajar mookubv mvku mabvka!”
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.”
Ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv mvngpa nyatoku Darwknv Kitaplo mindu, “Ho Pwknvyarnv no gv naam ha ngoogv mvngbiula kumnam si vmv jvbv gudu.”
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?”
Jius nyi kainv vdwv Jisunyi mirwkla tvuto, “No sum rila dunv vla ngonua ogu lamrwpanam go rila kaatamre?”
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Jisu mirwkto, “So Pwknvyarnvnaam sum toyak tvka okv ngo alu loum lo sum mvdi jiriku.”
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]”
“No alu loum lo sum mvdi jitv dunvre? Vla bunu ninyia tvvkato. Sum Pwknvyarnvnaam sum mvdubv anying champi gola nyingkv gobv ripvnv!”
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Vbvritola Jisu gv Pwknvyarnvnaam vnam si ninyigv ayakka minpvnv.
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].
Vkvlvgabv vdwlo nw sinam lokv turkur tokudw, ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv nw sum minpvnv vla mvngpa toku, okv bunu Darwknv Kitap okv Jisu ogugo mimpvkudw hum mvngjwng toku.
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.
Vngbodvnam pumja lo Jisu gv Jerusalem lo doolwk dvla, ninyigv lamrwpadubv mvnam rinam a kaala awgo nyi vdwv ninyia mvngjwng toku.
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].
Vbvritola Jisu atubongv bunua mvngjwk matoku, ogulvgavbolo hv bunu mvnwngnga chintoku.
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
Hoka bunugv lvgabv yvvka ninyia minji sego kaamato, ogulvgavbolo bunugv haapok arwnglo ogugo doopvdw hum atuv chinsu toku.
