Johana 2
1 Chiengʼ mar adek, arus moro ne nitie Kana, e piny Galili. Min Yesu ne ni kanyo,
Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
2 kendo Yesu gi jopuonjrene bende noluongi e arusno.
Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
3 Kane divai orumo, min Yesu nowachone niya, “Divai mane jogi nigo oserumo.”
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]?”
4 Yesu nowachone niya, “Mama, angʼo momiyo idwaro mondo atim ma to sana pok ochopo?”
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].”
5 Eka min-gi nowachone jotich niya, “Timuru gimoro amora monyisou.”
Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
6 To machiegni kanyo ne nitie degi auchiel mag pi, mane gin kaka degi ma jo-Yahudi ne tiyogo kuom logo e yor pwodhruok, ma moro ka moro ne tingʼo pi madirom depe ariyo kata adek.
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).
7 Yesu nowachone jotich niya, “Pongʼuru degnigi gi pi”; mine gipongʼogi thich.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
8 Eka nonyisogi niya, “Koro tuomuru pi moko mondo ukaw uter ne jatend budho.” Negitimo kamano,
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.
9 kendo jatend budho nobilo pi mane koro oselokore divai. Ne ok ofwenyo kuma ne ogolee, kata obedo ni jotich mane otuomo pi to nongʼeyo. Eka noluongo wuon kisera tenge,
(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,
10 kendo nowachone niya, “Ji mangʼeny kuongo kelo divai maber eka bangʼe gikelo divai maboth ka welo osemetho momer to in to ne ikano divai maber mogik nyaka sani.”
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!”
11 Ranyisi mar hono mokwongoni Yesu notimo e dala Kana e piny Galili. Nonyiso duongʼne kuom timne, kendo jopuonjrene noyie kuome.
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].
12 Bangʼ mano nodhi Kapernaum kaachiel gi min-gi gi owetene kod jopuonjrene. Negibet kuno kuom ndalo manok.
Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Ka kinde mag Pasaka mar jo-Yahudi ne chiegni chopo, Yesu nodhi Jerusalem.
Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
14 To ei agola mag hekalu, noyudo ka ji hono dhok gi rombe kod akuche, kendo jomoko to nobet olworo mesni ka giwilo pesa.
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.
15 Omiyo noloso del gi piende molir olir, kendo noriembo ji duto oko ei hekalu, kod rombe gi dhok bende. Nokeyo pesa mag jowil pesa, kendo noloko mesnigi ataro.
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.
16 Johala mag akuche to nowachonegi niya, “Goluru gigi oko ka! Ngʼa monyisou mondo ulok od Wuora chiro!”
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!”
17 Jopuonjrene noparo gima nondiki niya, “Hera matut ma aherogo odi tieka.”
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.”
18 Eka jo-Yahudi nowachone niya, “Ranyisi mar hono mane minyalo nyisowa mondo osir teko mitimogo gigi?”
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?”
19 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Mukuru hekaluni, to abiro gere kendo bangʼ ndalo adek.”
Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
20 Jo-Yahudi nodwoke niya, “Gero hekaluni osekawo higni piero angʼwen gauchiel, to in to ere kaka inyalo gere gi ndalo adek?”
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]”
21 To hekalu mane owuoyo kuome ne en ringre.
But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
22 Bangʼ kane osechier oa kuom joma otho, jopuonjrene noparo gima nowachono. Omiyo ne giyie kuom Ndiko kod weche mane Yesu osewacho.
[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].
23 Kane pod en Jerusalem e Sap Pasaka, ji mangʼeny noneno ranyisi mag honni mane otimo mine giyie kuom nyinge.
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.
24 To Yesu ne ok ochiwore e lwetgi, nimar nongʼeyo pach ji duto.
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].
25 Ne ok odwar mondo ngʼato onyise wach moro kuom dhano wadgi nimar nongʼeyo gik manie chuny dhano.
He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
