< John 2 >

1 And the third day a wedding occurred in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
Mme erile morago ga malatsi a mabedi, mmaagwe Jesu o ne a le molalediwa mo lenyalong kwa motseng wa Kana mo Galalea,
2 And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the wedding.
mme Jesu le barutwa ba gagwe le bone ba ne ba laleditswe.
3 And having lacked wine the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.
Mofine wa fela go sa ntse go itumelwa, mme mmaagwe Jesu a tla kwa go ene go mmolelela ka mathata a.
4 And Jesus says to her, What is with me and with thee, woman? My hour is not yet here.
Mme Jesu a mo fetola a re, “Ga nkake ka go thusa jaanong jaana ga e ise e be e nne nako ya me ya go dira dikgakgamatso.”
5 His mother says to the helpers, Whatever he may say to you, do.
Mme mmaagwe a raya batlhanka a re, “Dirang sengwe le sengwe se a se lo bolelelang.”
6 Now there were six stone water pots laying there in accordance with the purification of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
Dinkgwana tsa metse di le thataro tse di dirilweng ka lentswe, tsa bo di le foo; di ne di dirisiwa kafa mokgweng wa Sejuta wa mediro mme nngwe le nngwe ya tsone e ne e ka tshela diemere di ka nna masome a le mabedi kgotsa a le mararo.
7 Jesus says to them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them until over.
Mme Jesu a raya batlhanka a re, ba di tlatse metsi go fitlhelela metsi a nna mo mosetlhong o o kwa godimo. Erile go sena go dirwa jalo a re, “Gang mo go tsone lo ise kwa go motsamaisi wa modiro.”
8 And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry to the feast-ruler. And they carried.
9 And when the feast-ruler tasted the water that became wine, and had not known from where it was (but the helpers who drew the water had known), the feast-ruler called the bridegroom,
Erile motsamaisi wa mediro a leka metsi mo ganong a jaanong a neng a fetogile mofine, a sa itse gore o ne o tswa kae (lefa tota batlhanka bone ba ne ba itse), a bitsa monyadi a re,
10 and says to him, Every man sets out the good wine first, and when they drank much, then the lesser. Thou have kept the good wine until now.
“Se ke seno se se gakgamatsang! Wena o farologanye le batho ba bangwe! Motho yo o amogelang balalediwa o tle a dirise mofine o o monate pele, mme e re morago fa mongwe le mongwe a kgotshe a sa tlhole a kgathala, mme a lere mofine o o seng monate. Mme wena o beetse lobaka lono lwa bofelo mofine o o monate.”
11 This is the beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and he manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
Kgakgamatso e e ne ya dirwa mo Kana wa Galalea e le sesupo sa ntlha sa ga Jesu mo pontsheng sa nonofo ya legodimo e a romilweng go tla go e supa. Mme barutwa ba gagwe ba dumela tota gore ke Mesia.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples. And they remained there not many days.
Erile morago ga lenyalo a ya Kaperenama go ya go nna teng malatsinyana le mmaagwe, le bomonnawe le barutwa.
13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Mme ya bo e le lobaka lwa Tlolaganyo ya Sejuta ya ngwaga le ngwaga, mme Jesu a ya Jerusalema.
14 And he found sitting in the temple those who sell oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers.
Mme a bona mo patlelong ya Tempele barekisi ba rekisa dikgomo, dinku le maphoi e le ga ditlhabelo, le baananyi ba madi ba le ka fa morago ga mabati a go ananyediwang mo go one.
15 And having made a whip from cords, he drove all out from the temple, both the sheep and the oxen. And he poured out the coins of the moneychangers, and turned over their tables.
Erile Jesu a bona go dirwa jalo a loga seiteo sa megala, a ba lelekela kwa ntle le dinku le dipelesa, a gasagasa madi a baananyi mo bodilong, a pitikolola ditafole tsa bone!
16 And he said to those who sell the doves, Take these things from here. Make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
Hong ya re a ya kwa banneng ba ba rekisang maphoi a ba raya a re, “Ntshang dilo tse fa. Se fetoleng Ntlo ya ga Rre ntlo ya marekisetso!”
17 And his disciples remembered that it is written, Zeal for thy house will consume me.
Mme barutwa ba gagwe ba gakologelwa seporofeto se se mo dikwalong se se reng, “Tlhoafalelo ya ntlo ya Modimo e tlaa nna tirololo ya me.”
18 The Jews therefore answered, and said to him, What sign do thou show us since thou do these things?
Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba mmotsa ba re, “O tsaya kae tetlelelo ya go ba lelekela kwa ntle? Fa e le gore tetlelelo e o e newa ke Modimo, re bontshe kgakgamatso e e go supelang.”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Jesu a fetola a re, “Go siame se ke kgakgamatso e ke tlaa e lo direlang: Senyang kago e mme e tlaa re mo malatsing a le mararo ke e tsose!”
20 The Jews therefore said, This temple was forty-six years being built, and will thou raise it up in three days?
Ba gakgamala ba re, “Wa reng! go tsere dingwaga di le masome a mane le borataro go aga Tempele e, mme wena wa re o ka e aga mo malatsing a le mararo?”
21 But that man spoke about the temple of his body.
Mme ka “Kago e” o ne a raya mmele wa gagwe.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead his disciples remembered that he spoke this, and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus said.
Erile a sena go rula, barutwa ba gakologelwa fa a kile a bua jalo mme ba lemoga gore se a neng a se bua o ne a se ntsha mo dikwalong, se ne se raya ene ka sebele, le gore gotlhe go diragetse ka boammaaruri!
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover during the feast, many believed in his name seeing his signs that he did.
Ka ntlha ya dikgakgamatso tse a di dirileng kwa Jerusalema go le moletlo wa Tlolaganyo, batho ba le bantsi ba dumela gore e ne e le ene Mesia tota.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men,
Mme Jesu a seka a ba ikanya ka gore o ne a itse motho le tlhaloganyo ya gagwe. O ne a sa tlhoke gore le fa e le mang o ka mmolelela gore tlholego ya motho e fetoga fetoga jang!
25 and because he had no need that any man should testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
