< 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 there was a wedding 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 were invited to the wedding.
3 Pajamasile divai jiŵalingenye kwa ligongo lya ulombela, achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Nganakola divai!”
When they ran out of wine, Jesus’ mother told Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nkaasalila chakupanganya, katema kangu kakanaŵe kwika.”
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My time has not yet come.”
5 Pelepo achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵaasalile achikatumetume, “Chachilichose chichansalile, mpanganye.”
His mother told the servants, “Do whatever He tells 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.
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding two to three metretes.
7 Che Yesu ŵaasalile achikatumetume ŵala, “Ngumbasye meesi lulo syo.” Ni ŵanyawo ŵagumbesye ndendende.
Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water,” so they filled them to the brim.
8 Nipele ŵaasalile, “Sano ntechanje munjauchisye jwankulu jwa chindimba.” Ni ŵanjauchisye.
Then He told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
9 Jwankulu jwa chindimba paŵajipasisye divai jijaliji meesi kundanda, nombejo nganakumanyilila kujikopochele divai jo, nambo achikatumetume ŵala ŵaimanyi. Jwankulu jwa chindimba jula ŵambilasile nlombela,
and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He didn’t realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
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 said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first, and then the cheaper wine after the guests have drunk freely, but you have saved the best till 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.
Jesus did this beginning of signs in Cana of Galilee. He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in 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 with His mother, His brothers, and His disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.
13 Katema ka lyuŵa lyekulungwa lya Pasaka ja Ŵayahudi kaŵandichile ni Che Yesu ŵakwesile ku Yelusalemu.
The time for the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 Pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ŵaasimene ŵandu achisumisyaga ng'ombe ni ngondolo ni nguunda ni ŵakutindanya mbiya ali atemi.
He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.
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 whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
16 Ni ŵaŵaliji nkusumisya nguunda ŵala ŵaasalile, “Ntyosyanje pelepa indu yi. Nkajipanganya nyuumba ja Atati ŵangu kuŵa nyuumba jakusumichisya malonda!”
He told those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Don’t make my Father’s house a market place!”
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 was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume 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 asked Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
19 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngumulanje Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji, ni uneji chindaŵe kwa moŵa gatatu pe.”
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
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?”
Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21 Nambo Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jiŵajigambaga Che Yesu jo jaliji chiilu chakwe nsyene.
But the temple He had spoken of was His body.
22 Nipele Che Yesu paŵasyuchile, ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakumbuchile kuti ŵaŵechete gelega, ni ŵagakulupilile Malembelo ga Akunnungu ni maloŵe gaŵaŵechete Che Yesu gala.
After He was raised from the dead, His disciples recalled what He had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words 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 Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs He was doing and believed in His name.
24 Nambo Che Yesu nganalilechelelaga kukwao pakuŵa ŵajimanyilile mitima jao
But Jesus didn’t commit Himself to them, because He knew all people,
25 ni pakuŵa ŵaimanyilile uchenene yaili mmitima jao, nganasaka kusalilwa chachilichose nkati ŵandu ŵane.
and had no need for anyone to testify about people, for He knew what was in people.
