John 2
1 Two days later a wedding was held at Cana in Galilee, and 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 and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
Wokpe Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo hã.
3 The wine ran out, so Jesus' mother told him, “They don't have any more 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 “Mother, why should you involve me? My time hasn't come yet,” he replied.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na dadaa be, “Aƒenɔ, nu ka dim nèle be mawɔ na wò fifia? Nye ɣeyiɣi meɖo haɖe o.”
5 His mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Gake Yesu dada gblɔ na subɔlawo be, “Miwɔ nu sia nu si wòbe miawɔ.”
6 Standing nearby were six stone jars used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each one holding twenty to thirty gallons.
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 “Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them right up.
Yesu gblɔ na subɔlawo be, “Midu tsi kɔ ɖe zɔwo katã me woayɔ.” Ale wowɔ nenema.
8 Then he told them, “Pour some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they took him some.
Egagblɔ na wo be, “Azɔ mikui yi na nuɖuɖudzikpɔla la.” Wowɔ nenema.
9 The master of ceremonies didn't know where it had come from, only the servants knew. But when he tasted the water that had been turned to wine, he called the bridegroom over.
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 “Everyone serves out the best wine first,” he told him, “and once people have had plenty to drink, then they put out the cheaper wine. But you have kept the best wine till last!”
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 was the very first of Jesus' miraculous signs, and was performed in Cana of Galilee. Here he revealed his glory, and his disciples put their trust 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 Jesus left for Capernaum with his mother, brothers, and disciples where they stayed for 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 Since it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went on to Jerusalem.
Esi Yudatɔwo ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la gogo la, Yesu yi Yerusalem.
14 In the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves; and money-changers sitting at their tables.
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 out of cords and drove everyone out of the Temple, along with the sheep and cattle, scattering coins of the money-changers and turning over 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 He ordered the dove-sellers, “Take these things out of here! Don't turn my Father's house into a market!”
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 the Scripture that says, “My devotion for your house is like a fire burning inside me!”
Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖo ŋku edzi be mawunya gblɔ be, “Lɔlɔ̃ na wò aƒe zu dzo ge ɖe menye.”
18 The Jewish leaders reacted, asking him, “What right do you have to do this? Show us some miraculous sign to prove it!”
Azɔ Yudatɔwo va Yesu gbɔ hebiae be, “Ŋusẽ ka nèkpɔ, be nèwɔ nu siawo, eye dzesi ka nàfia mí?”
19 Jesus replied, “Destroy this Temple, and in three days I'll raise it up!”
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migbã gbedoxɔ sia, eye magagbugbɔe atu le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe.”
20 “It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you're going to raise it up in three days?” the Jewish leaders replied.
Yudatɔwo gblɔ be, “Ƒe blaene-vɔ-adee wotsɔ tu gbedoxɔ siae. Ke wò ya nèbe yeate ŋu atui le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbea?”
21 But the Temple Jesus was speaking of was his body.
Ke “gbedoxɔ” si ŋu Yesu nɔ nu ƒom le lae nye eƒe ŋutilã.
22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered what he said, and so they believed in Scripture and Jesus' own words.
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 As a result of the miracles Jesus did while he was in Jerusalem during the Passover, many believed in him.
Dzesi siwo Yesu wɔ le Ŋutitotoŋkekea dzi le Yerusalem la na be ame geɖe xɔ eƒe ŋkɔ dzi se.
24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all about people.
Ke Yesu meka ɖe ame siawo ƒe xɔse dzi o, elabena edze si amegbetɔwo ƒe nɔnɔme.
25 He didn't need anyone to tell him about human nature for he knew the way people think.
Mehiã be ame aɖeke naɖi ɖase nɛ tso amegbetɔ ŋu o, elabena eya ŋutɔ nya nu si le ame me.
