< John 2 >

1 The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
Ne nnansa so, nnipa bi hyiaa ayeforɔ wɔ Kana a ɛwɔ Galilea asase so. Yesu maame kɔɔ saa ayeforɔhyia no bi.
2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
Wɔtoo nsa frɛɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nso kɔɔ hɔ bi.
3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
Wɔgu so regye wɔn ani no, ayeforɔ no ase nsã saeɛ maa Yesu maame kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wɔn nsã a wɔrenom no asa.”
4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ne maame sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wopɛsɛ me yɛ, me berɛ nnya nnuruiɛ.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
Ne maame ka kyerɛɛ asomfoɔ no sɛ, “Biribiara a ɔbɛka sɛ monyɛ no, monyɛ.”
6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
Na aboɔ nsuhina nsia sisi hɔ; yeinom mu na na Yudafoɔ de nsuo gu de hohoro wɔn ho amanneɛ kwan so. Na suhina biara tumi fa nsuo galɔn aduasa.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ asomfoɔ no sɛ, “Momfa nsuo nhyehyɛ nhina no ma ma.” Wɔde nsuo hyɛɛ no ma ma.
8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monsa bi nkɔma onipa a ayeforɔ no ho ntotoeɛ hyɛ ne nsa no.”
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
Deɛ ayeforɔ no ho ntotoeɛ hyɛ ne nsa no kaa nsuo no a adane nsã no hwɛeɛ. Na ɔnnim baabi a na nsã no firi, nanso na asomfoɔ no deɛ, wɔnim. Ɔfrɛɛ ayeforɔkunu no
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!”
ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Saa nsã yi yɛ nsã pa. Wonte sɛ afoforɔ a wɔaka no. Obiara a ɔto ɛpono de nsã pa di ɛkan ba wɔ nʼapontoɔ ase, na akyire yi, ɔde nsã a ɛnni mu aba. Nanso, wo deɛ, wode nsã pa no atwa toɔ!”
11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Saa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Yesu yɛɛ wɔ Kana a ɛwɔ Galilea asase so no ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛdi ɛkan a ɔyɛɛ wɔ badwam de kyerɛɛ sɛ ne tumi firi ɔsoro. Ɛmaa nʼasuafoɔ no nso gyee no dii sɛ, ampa ara, ɔno ne Agyenkwa no.
12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
Ayeforɔhyia no akyi, ɔne ne maame ne ne nuanom ne nʼasuafoɔ no dii nna kakra wɔ Kapernaum.
13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Esiane sɛ na Yudafoɔ Twam Afahyɛ no rebɛduru no enti, Yesu kɔɔ Yerusalem.
14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
Ɔduruu asɔredan no mu hɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ adwadifoɔ bi nso tete wɔn apono akyi resesa sika.
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.
Yesu faa ntampehoma, yɛɛ no mpire, de pamoo sikasesafoɔ no ne wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie no firii asɔredan mu hɔ, kaa wɔn apono guiɛ maa wɔn sika a wɔresesa no nyinaa bɔ pansamee.
16 To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
Afei, ɔkɔɔ wɔn a wɔtɔn mmorɔnoma no so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monsesa wɔn mfiri ha nkɔ ntɛm! Mommfa mʼAgya fie nyɛ adwadibea!”
17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
Asuafoɔ no kaa sɛ, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu sɛ, “Wo fie yiedie ho dadwene ahyɛ me so.”
18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
Afei, Yudafoɔ mpanin no bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Tumi bɛn na wowɔ a enti wopamoo nnipa no? Yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi fa di adanseɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa wo saa tumi no.”
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mate deɛ moaka no. Nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a mede bɛdi adanseɛ ara ne sɛ, mommubu asɔredan yi ngu na mede nnansa bɛsi bio.”
20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
Yudafoɔ mpanin no tee asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no, wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Asɔredan a wɔde mfeɛ aduanan nsia siiɛ no, na wode nnansa bɛtumi asi?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
Nanso, Yesu deɛ, na ɔde ɔno ankasa ne onipadua na ɛreyɛ asɔredan no mfatoho,
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.
Yesu wusɔreɛ no akyi ansa na asuafoɔ no kaee asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no. Yei ma wɔgyee Atwerɛsɛm ne nsɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no diiɛ.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
Ɛberɛ a Twam Afahyɛ no duruiɛ a na Yesu wɔ Yerusalem no, nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ahodoɔ bebree maa nnipa gyee no diiɛ.
24 But Jesus did not entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
Nanso, Yesu amfa ne ho anto wɔn so, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim sɛdeɛ nnipa suban te.
25 and because he did not need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
Na ɔnhia onipa adanseɛ a ɔbɛdi afa onipa ho, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim deɛ ɛwɔ onipa mu.
