< John 2 >
1 And the thirde day, was there a mariage in Cana a towne of Galile, and the mother of Iesus was there.
Baada ya siku tatu, kulikuwa na arusi huko Kana ya Galilaya na mama yake Yesu alikuwa huko.
2 And Iesus was called also, and his disciples vnto the mariage.
Yesu na wanafunzi wake walikuwa wamealikwa katika arusi.
3 Nowe when the wine failed, the mother of Iesus saide vnto him, They haue no wine.
Wakati walipoishiwa na divai, mama yake Yesu akamwambia, “Hawana divai.”
4 Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, what haue I to doe with thee? mine houre is not yet come.
Yesu akajibu, “Mwanamke hiyo inanihusu nini mimi? Muda wangu mimi bado haujatimia.”
5 His mother saide vnto the seruants, Whatsoeuer he sayeth vnto you, doe it.
Mama yake akawambia watumishi, “Chochote atakachowambia fanyeni.”
6 And there were set there, sixe waterpots of stone, after the maner of the purifying of the Iewes, conteining two or three firkins a piece.
Basi kulikuwa na mitungi sita ya mawe pale iliyowekwa kwa ajili ya kunawa katika sikukuu za Wayahudi, kila moja lilikuwa na ujazo wa nzio mbili tatu.
7 And Iesus sayde vnto them, Fill the waterpots with water. Then they filled them vp to the brim.
Yesu akawambia, “Ijazeni maji mitungi ya mawe.” Wakajaza hadi juu.
8 Then he sayde vnto them, Draw out nowe and beare vnto the gouernour of the feast. So they bare it.
Kisha akawambia wale watumishi, “Chukueni kiasi sasa na mpeleke kwa muhudumu mkuu wa meza.” Wakafanya kama walivyoagizwa.
9 Nowe when the gouernour of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he knewe not whence it was: but the seruants, which drewe the water, knewe) the gouernour of ye feast called the bridegrome,
Mhudumu mkuu aliyaonja yale maji yaliyokuwa yamebadilika na kuwa divai, ila hakujua yalikotoka (lakini watumishi waliochota maji walijua yalikotoka). Kisha akamwita bwana harusi na
10 And saide vnto him, All men at the beginning set foorth good wine, and when men haue well drunke, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept backe the good wine vntill nowe.
kumwambia, “Kila mmoja huanza kuwahudumia watu divai nzuri na wakiishalewa huwapa divai isiyo nzuri. Lakini wewe umeitunza divai nzuri hadi sasa”
11 This beginning of miracles did Iesus in Cana a towne of Galile, and shewed forth his glorie: and his disciples beleeued on him.
Muujiza huu wa Kana ya Galilaya, ulikuwa ndio mwanzo wa ishara za miujiza aliyoifanya Yesu, akifunua utukufu wake, hivyo wanafunzi wake wakamwamini.
12 After that, he went downe into Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they continued not many daies there.
Baada ya hii, Yesu, mama yake, ndugu zake na wanafunzi wake walienda katika mji wa Kapernaum na wakaa huko kwa siku chache.
13 For the Iewes Passeouer was at hande. Therefore Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.
Basi Pasaka ya Wayahudi ilikuwa imekaribia, hivyo Yesu akaenda Yerusalemu.
14 And he found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheepe, and doues, and changers of money, sitting there.
Akawakuta wauzaji wa ng'ombe, kondoo, na njiwa ndani ya Hekalu. Pia na wabadilisha fedha walikuwa wameketi ndani ya Hekalu.
15 Then hee made a scourge of small cordes, and draue them all out of the Temple with the sheepe and oxen, and powred out the changers money, and ouerthrewe the tables,
Yesu akatengeneza mjeledi wenye vifundo, akawatoa wote walikuwemo katika hekalu, ikijumuisha ng'ombe na kondoo. Akamwaga fedha za wabadili fedha na kuzipindua meza zao.
16 And said vnto them that solde doues, Take these things hence: make not my fathers house, an house of marchandise.
Kwa wauzaji wa njiwa akawambia, “Toeni vitu hivi mbali na mahali hapa, acheni kuifanya nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa mahali pa soko.”
17 And his disciples remembred, that it was written, The zeale of thine house hath eaten me vp.
Wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka kuwa ilikuwa imeandikwa, “Wivu wa nyumba yako utanila.”
18 Then answered the Iewes, and saide vnto him, What signe shewest thou vnto vs, that thou doest these things?
Wakuu wa Kiyahudi wakajibu, wakamwambia, Ni ishara ipi utakayoionyesha kwa sababu unayafanya mambo haya?”
19 Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Destroy this Temple, and in three daies I will raise it vp againe.
Yesu akawajibu, libomoeni Hekalu hili nami nitalijenga baada ya siku tatu.”
20 Then said the Iewes, Fourtie and sixe yeeres was this Temple a building, and wilt thou reare it vp in three daies?
Kisha wakuu wa Wayahudi wakasema, “Iligharimu miaka arobaini na sita kujenga hekalu hili nawe unasema utalijenga kwa siku tatu?”
21 But he spake of the temple of his bodie.
Ingawa, yeye aliongea hekalu akimaanisha mwili wake.
22 Assoone therefore as he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that hee thus sayde vnto them: and they beleeued the Scripture, and the worde which Iesus had saide.
Hivyo baadaye baada ya kufufuka kwake kutoka kwa wafu, wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka kuwa alisema hivyo, wakaamini maandiko na kauli hii ambayo Yesu alikuwa amekwisha kuisema.
23 Nowe when hee was at Hierusalem at the Passeouer in the feast, many beleeued in his Name, when they sawe his miracles which he did.
Basi alipokuwa Yerusalemu wakati wa Pasaka, wakati wa sikukuu watu wengi waliamini jina lake, walipoona ishara ya miujiza aliyoifanya.
24 But Iesus did not commit him selfe vnto them, because he knewe them all,
Lakini Yesu hakuwa na imani nao kwa sababu aliwajua wanadamu wote.
25 And had no neede that any should testifie of man: for he knewe what was in man.
Hakuhitaji mtu yeyote kumwambia kuhusu walivyo wanadamu kwa sababu alijua kilichokuwamo ndani yao.
