< Yohana 2 >

1 Pagamasile moŵa gaŵili wapali ulombela musi wa ku Kana chilambo cha ku Galilaya. Ni achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵaliji kweleko,
On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there.
2 Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao nombe ŵalalichikwe ku ulombela wo.
Now both Jesus and His disciples had been invited to the wedding.
3 Pajamasile divai jiŵalingenye kwa ligongo lya ulombela, achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nganakola divai!”
So when the wine had given out, Jesus' mother says to Him, “They don't have any wine!”
4 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nkaasalila chakupanganya, katema kangu kakanaŵe kwika.”
Jesus says to her: “What is that to you and me, woman? My time has not yet come.”
5 Pelepo achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵaasalile achikatumetume, “Chachilichose chichansalile, mpanganye.”
His mother says to the servants, “Do whatever He may tell you.”
6 Pelepo syapali lulo syekulungwa nsano ni umo sya maganga, lwaluli lose lwakombwele kugumbala lulo sya mwana siŵili pane sitatu sya meesi. Syaŵichikwe pelepo mpela itite pakusyoŵeleka kwa Ŵayahudi kutaga meesi ga kuliswejesya kwaligongo lya kwapopelela Akunnungu.
(Now there were six stone waterpots set there, according to the purification rites of the Jews, containing 20 or 30 gallons each.)
7 Che Yesu ŵaasalile achikatumetume ŵala, “Ngumbasye meesi lulo syo.” Ni ŵanyawo ŵagumbesye ndendende.
Jesus says to them, “Fill the pots with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8 Nipele ŵaasalile, “Sano ntechanje munjauchisye jwankulu jwa chindimba.” Ni ŵanjauchisye.
So He says to them, “Now, draw some out and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they took it.
9 Jwankulu jwa chindimba paŵajipasisye divai jijaliji meesi kundanda, nombejo nganakumanyilila kujikopochele divai jo, nambo achikatumetume ŵala ŵaimanyi. Jwankulu jwa chindimba jula ŵambilasile nlombela,
Well, when the master of ceremonies tasted the water that had become wine—he did not know where it came from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew—he calls the bridegroom
10 ni kunsalila, “Mundu jwalijose kundanda akwapa ŵandu divai jambone ni ŵamalaga kung'wa ni kukolelwa akwapa janganong'a nnope. Nambo mmwejo ntupele divai jambone mpaka sambano.”
and says to him: “Everybody serves the good wine first, then, when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”
11 Chelechi chili chimanyisyo chakusimosya chandanda chiŵapanganyisye Che Yesu mmusi wa ku Kana chilambo cha ku Galilaya ni ŵaulosisye ukulu wao nombe ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaakulupilile.
This, the first of the miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed into Him.
12 Payamasile yeleyo, Che Yesu pamo ni achikulugwe ni achapwakwe ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵala ŵatuluchile ku Kapelenaumu. Ŵatemi kweleko moŵa kanandi.
After this He went down to Capernaum—He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples—but they did not stay there many days.
13 Katema ka lyuŵa lyekulungwa lya Pasaka ja Ŵayahudi kaŵandichile ni Che Yesu ŵakwesile ku Yelusalemu.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 Pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ŵaasimene ŵandu achisumisyaga ng'ombe ni ngondolo ni nguunda ni ŵakutindanya mbiya ali atemi.
And in the Temple He found people selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the moneychangers at work.
15 Ŵapotile ngonji ni kuŵa lubokola ni ŵaaŵinjile wose paasa pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pamo ni ng'ombe ni ngondolo syao. Ni ŵapikulenye mesa sya ŵakutindanya mbiya ŵala ni kumwasya mbiya syao.
When He had made a scourge out of cords, He drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and as for the moneychangers, He overturned the tables and scattered the coins.
16 Ni ŵaŵaliji nkusumisya nguunda ŵala ŵaasalile, “Ntyosyanje pelepa indu yi. Nkajipanganya nyuumba ja Atati ŵangu kuŵa nyuumba jakusumichisya malonda!”
And to the dove-sellers He said: “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father's House into a marketplace!”
17 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakumbuchile kuti, malembelo gakusala, “Alakwe Akunnungu, unonyelo wangu kwa nyuumba jenu ukundinisya mpela mooto mu ntima.”
Then His disciples remembered that it stands written, “Zeal for Your House consumes me.”
18 Ilongola ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana chimpanganye chimanyisyo chachi chakusimosya chakutulosya kuti nkwete lilamulo lya kupanganya yelei?”
So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do you show us, since you do these things?”
19 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngumulanje Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji, ni uneji chindaŵe kwa moŵa gatatu pe.”
Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it.”
20 Pelepo Ŵayahudi ŵala ŵatite, “Aji Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji twataŵile kwa yaka makumi ncheche konjechesya nsano ni umo. Ana mmwejo chinkombole chinauli kujitaŵa kwa moŵa gatatu?”
So the Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it in three days?!”
21 Nambo Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jiŵajigambaga Che Yesu jo jaliji chiilu chakwe nsyene.
But He was speaking about the temple of His body.
22 Nipele Che Yesu paŵasyuchile, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakumbuchile kuti ŵaŵechete gelega, ni ŵagakulupilile Malembelo ga Akunnungu ni maloŵe gaŵaŵechete Che Yesu gala.
Therefore, when He was raised from among the dead His disciples remembered that He had said this; so they believed the Scripture, even the word that Jesus had spoken.
23 Che Yesu paŵaliji ku Yelusalemu mmoŵa ga chindimba cha Pasaka ŵandu ŵajinji paŵaiweni imanyisyo iŵaipanganyisye ŵaakulupilile.
Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed into His name, observing the signs that He was doing.
24 Nambo Che Yesu nganalilechelelaga kukwao pakuŵa ŵajimanyilile mitima jao
But as for Jesus Himself, He did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men
25 ni pakuŵa ŵaimanyilile uchenene yaili mmitima jao, nganasaka kusalilwa chachilichose nkati ŵandu ŵane.
and that He had no need that anyone should testify about man, because He Himself knew what was in man.
