< John 2 >
1 The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
Le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, wokpe Yesu dada be wòava kpɔ srɔ̃ɖeɖe aɖe teƒe le Kana si le Galilea Nuto me.
2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
Wokpe Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo hã.
3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
Esi wɔnawo nɔ edzi yim la, wain si nom ameawo nɔ la vɔ. Ale Yesu dada va egbɔ hegblɔ nɛ be, “Wain mele wo si o.”
4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
Yesu ɖo eŋu na dadaa be, “Aƒenɔ, nu ka dim nèle be mawɔ na wò fifia? Nye ɣeyiɣi meɖo haɖe o.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
Gake Yesu dada gblɔ na subɔlawo be, “Miwɔ nu sia nu si wòbe miawɔ.”
6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
Azɔ tsizɔ ade nɔ teƒea. Esiawo Yudatɔwo zãna hena woƒe ŋutikɔklɔkɔnuwo wɔwɔ. Tsi lita blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ alo alafa ɖeka wuiatɔ̃ tea ŋu nɔa wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
Yesu gblɔ na subɔlawo be, “Midu tsi kɔ ɖe zɔwo katã me woayɔ.” Ale wowɔ nenema.
8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
Egagblɔ na wo be, “Azɔ mikui yi na nuɖuɖudzikpɔla la.” Wowɔ nenema.
9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom
Nuɖuɖudzikpɔla la no tsi si trɔ zu wain la ƒe ɖe, ke menya afi si wòtso o, subɔlawo koe nya. Azɔ eyɔ ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ la
10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”
eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Zi geɖe la, srɔ̃ɖelawo naa wain nyuitɔ woƒe ame kpekpewo gbã, eye ne ame sia ame noe wòsui vɔ la, ekema wotsɔa manyomanyotɔ vɛ. Ke wò la, èdzra nyuitɔ ɖo, eye nètsɔe vɛ le nuwuwua.”
11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Esiae nye dzesi gbãtɔ si Yesu wɔ le Kana le Galilea hetsɔ ɖe eƒe Ŋutikɔkɔefia, eye eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo xɔ edzi se.
12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
Esi srɔ̃ɖeŋkekenyui la wu enu la, Yesu kple dadaa, nɔviawo kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo yi Kapernaum, eye wonɔ afi ma ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo.
13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Esi Yudatɔwo ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la gogo la, Yesu yi Yerusalem.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
Ekpɔ amewo le gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu wonɔ nyiwo, alẽwo kple akpakpawo dzram. Gaɖɔlilawo hã nɔ teƒea nɔ ga ɖɔlim na amewo.
15 He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.
Ale Yesu tsɔ ka aɖewo tro atam, eye wònya wo katã do goe le gbedoxɔ la me. Enya alẽawo kple nyiawo hã do goe, ekaka gaɖɔlilawo ƒe gawo ɖe anyigba, eye wòmu woƒe kplɔ̃wo ƒu anyi.
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
Egblɔ na ame siwo nɔ akpakpawo dzram la be, “Mitsɔ nu siawo do goe le afi sia! Migatsɔ Fofonye ƒe aƒe la wɔ asimee o!”
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖo ŋku edzi be mawunya gblɔ be, “Lɔlɔ̃ na wò aƒe zu dzo ge ɖe menye.”
18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
Azɔ Yudatɔwo va Yesu gbɔ hebiae be, “Ŋusẽ ka nèkpɔ, be nèwɔ nu siawo, eye dzesi ka nàfia mí?”
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migbã gbedoxɔ sia, eye magagbugbɔe atu le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe.”
20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
Yudatɔwo gblɔ be, “Ƒe blaene-vɔ-adee wotsɔ tu gbedoxɔ siae. Ke wò ya nèbe yeate ŋu atui le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbea?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
Ke “gbedoxɔ” si ŋu Yesu nɔ nu ƒom le lae nye eƒe ŋutilã.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
Esi Yesu tsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la, nusrɔ̃lawo ɖo ŋku edzi be egblɔ nya sia ɖi. Eye wokpɔe dze sii be nya siwo katã Yesu gblɔ tso mawunya me la ƒo nu tso eya ŋutɔ ŋu, eye wo katã va eme vavã.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
Dzesi siwo Yesu wɔ le Ŋutitotoŋkekea dzi le Yerusalem la na be ame geɖe xɔ eƒe ŋkɔ dzi se.
24 But Jesus did not entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
Ke Yesu meka ɖe ame siawo ƒe xɔse dzi o, elabena edze si amegbetɔwo ƒe nɔnɔme.
25 and because he did not need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
Mehiã be ame aɖeke naɖi ɖase nɛ tso amegbetɔ ŋu o, elabena eya ŋutɔ nya nu si le ame me.
