John 2
1 And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
Ngosuku lwesithathu kwaba khona umthimba eKhana laseGalile. Unina kaJesu wayekhona,
2 And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
loJesu labafundi bakhe labo babenxusiwe emthimbeni.
3 And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.
Kwathi iwayini seliphelile unina kaJesu wathi kuye, “Sebephelelwe liwayini.”
4 Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Mama, mina lawe singena njani kulokho na? Isikhathi sami kasikafiki.”
5 His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do.
Unina wasesithi ezincekwini, “Libokwenza loba kuyini azalitshela khona.”
6 Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.
Eduze kwalapho kwakumi imbiza zamatshe eziyisithupha, uhlobo lolo amaJuda ayelusebenzisa enkonzweni yokuzihlambulula, imbiza yinye ingagcwala amalitha alikhulu kusiya ekhulwini elilamatshumi amahlanu.
7 Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
UJesu wathi ezincekwini, “Zigcwaliseni amanzi imbiza lezi”; ngakho bazigcwalisa zathi phamu.
8 And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry [it] to the feast-master. And they carried [it].
Wasezitshela wathi, “Khanini-ke liphe umphathi wedili.” Benza njalo,
9 But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,
umphathi wedili wahubula wawanambitha amanzi ayesephendulwe abaliwayini. Kakwazanga ukuthi lavela ngaphi, kodwa izinceku ezaziwakhile amanzi zazisazi. Wasebizela umyeni eceleni
10 and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when [men] have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now.
wathi, “Wonke umuntu uletha iwayini elimnandi kuqala, kuthi nxa izethekeli sezinathe kakhulu abesekhupha elibi; kodwa wena ugodle elimnandi kuze kube khathesi.”
11 This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
Lo waba ngumangaliso wakhe wokuqala, uJesu awenza eKhana laseGalile. Wabonakalisa kanjalo inkazimulo yakhe, abafundi bakhe basebebeka ukholo lwabo kuye.
12 After this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.
Ngemva komthimba wasuka waya eKhaphenawume wayahlala insukwana ezimbalwa elonina, labafowabo labafundi bakhe.
13 And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Kwasekuyisikhathi sePhasika lamaJuda eleminyaka yonke, uJesu wasesiya eJerusalema.
14 And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;
Emagumeni ethempeli wafumana abantu bethengisa inkomo, izimvu lamajuba, labanye behlezi ematafuleni bentshintsha izimali.
15 and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast [them] all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,
Waseseluka izintambo wenza isaswebhu wabadudula bonke emagumeni ethempeli, konke izimvu lenkomo; wayichithiza imali yabantshintshi bayo, wagenqula lamatafula abo.
16 and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
Wathi kulabo ababethengisa amajuba, “Akhupheni lapha! Likuthatha ngaphi ukwenza indlu kaBaba umsika wokuthengiselana na?”
17 [And] his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.
Abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuthi kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Ukunqinekela indlu yakho kuzangidla ngaphakathi.”
18 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?
Lapho amaJuda asemncindezela ngokuthi, “Ungasitshengisa simangaliso bani ukubonisa amandla akho okwenza zonke lezizinto?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Wabaphendula uJesu wathi, “Dilizani ithempeli leli, kodwa mina ngizalimisa njalo ngezinsuku ezintathu.”
20 The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days?
AmaJuda aphendula athi, “Sekuthethe iminyaka engamatshumi amane lesithupha ukwakha ithempeli leli, kodwa wena ungalivusa ngezinsuku ezintathu na?”
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
Kodwa ithempeli ayekhulume ngalo kwakungumzimba wakhe.
22 When therefore he was raised from among [the] dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
Ngemva kokuvuswa kwabafileyo abafundi bakhe bakukhumbula lokho ayekukhulumile. Ngakho bawukholwa uMbhalo kanye lamazwi uJesu awakhulumayo.
23 And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought.
Kwathi ngesikhathi eseMkhosini wePhasika eJerusalema, abantu abanengi bayibona imimangaliso ayeyenza basebekholwa ebizweni lakhe.
24 But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all [men],
Kodwa uJesu kazange azidele kubo, ngoba wayebazi bonke abantu.
25 and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.
Wayengabudingi ubufakazi bomuntu ngoba wayekwazi okungaphakathi komuntu munye ngamunye.
