< John 2 >
1 Now two days after this there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa gatatũ nĩ kwagĩire na kihikanio kũu Kana ya Galili. Nyina wa Jesũ aarĩ kuo,
2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding, and his disciples.
nake Jesũ na arutwo ake o nao nĩmetĩtwo kĩhikanio-inĩ kĩu.
3 And when the wine ran short, Jesus’ mother said to him, "They have no wine."
Rĩrĩa ndibei yathirire, nyina wa Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Matirĩ na ndibei ĩngĩ.”
4 "Woman," said Jesus, "what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come."
Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, ndĩ na ũhoro ũrĩkũ nawe? Ihinda rĩakwa rĩtirĩ rĩrakinya.”
5 His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he may tell you to do, do it."
Nake nyina akĩĩra ndungata atĩrĩ, “Ĩkai ũrĩa wothe ekũmwĩra.”
6 Now there were six stone water - jars standing there, according to the Jewish rites of purification, each holding about twenty gallons.
Hau hakuhĩ nao nĩ haarĩ na ndigithũ ithathatũ cia maaĩ ciathondeketwo na ihiga, mũthemba ũrĩa wahũthagĩrwo nĩ Ayahudi magongona-inĩ mao ma gwĩtheria, na o ĩmwe yaiyũragio nĩ ngeereni kuuma mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ nginya mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
7 Jesus said, "Fill up the jars with water."
Nake Jesũ akĩĩra ndungata icio atĩrĩ, “Iyũriai ndigithũ maaĩ”; nacio ikĩiyũria riita.
8 So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master of the feast."
Agĩcooka agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu tahiai ĩmwe mũtwarĩre mũtabania wa iruga.” Nacio igĩĩka o ũguo,
9 So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him.
nake mũtabania wa iruga agĩcama maaĩ macio maagarũrĩtwo magatuĩka ndibei. Ndaamenyaga kũrĩa yoimĩte, o na gũtuĩka ndungata iria ciatahĩte maaĩ nĩciamenyaga. Hĩndĩ ĩyo agĩĩta mũhikania keheri-inĩ
10 "Everybody serves first the good wine, and when people have drunk freely, the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."
akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ aambaga kũruta ndibei ĩrĩa njega, na ageni maarĩkia kũnyua mũno, agacooka akaruta ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ njega; no wee ũkũigĩte ĩrĩa njega nginya rĩu.”
11 This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.
Kĩu nĩkĩo kĩama kĩa mbere kĩrĩa Jesũ aaringire, na aakĩringĩire kũu Kana ya Galili. Akĩonania riiri wake, nao arutwo ake makĩmwĩtĩkia.
12 Afterward he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and remained there a few days.
Thuutha ũcio agĩikũrũka Kaperinaumu, marĩ na nyina, na ariũ a nyina, o na arutwo ake. Magĩikara kuo matukũ manini.
13 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Rĩrĩa Bathaka ya Ayahudi yakuhĩrĩirie-rĩ, Jesũ akĩambata, agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
14 There he found in the temple those who were selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting there.
Kũu hekarũ-inĩ nĩakorire andũ makĩendia ngʼombe, na ngʼondu, na ndutura, o na angĩ maikarĩte metha-inĩ magĩceenjia mbeeca.
15 So he plaited a scourge of rushes, and drove all out of the temple - both the sheep and oxen. He began to pour out the coins of the money- changers, and to overturn their tables,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthondeka mũcarica wa mĩkanda, na akĩmarutũrũra othe kuuma hekarũ-inĩ, hamwe na ngʼondu, na ngʼombe; akĩhurunja mbeeca cia arĩa maacenjagia mbeeca na akĩngʼaũrania metha ciao.
16 and said to those who were selling doves. "Take these things away! Make not my Father’s house a house of trade!
Nao arĩa meendagia ndutura akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Eheriai ici gũkũ! Mwahota atĩa gũtua nyũmba ya Baba ndũnyũ!”
17 His disciples recalled that it is written, The zeal of thine house will devour me.
Nao arutwo ake makĩririkana nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Kĩyo kĩrĩa ndĩ nakĩo kĩa nyũmba yaku nĩkĩo gĩkaandĩa.”
18 Then the Jews asked Jesus, "What sign are you going to show us, seeing that you do these things?"
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ayahudi makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩama kĩrĩkũ ũngĩtũringĩra gĩa gũtuonia ũhoti ũrĩa ũrĩ naguo wa gwĩka maũndũ macio mothe?”
19 "Destroy this temple," answered Jesus, "and in three days I will raise it up."
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Thariai hekarũ ĩno, na nĩngũmĩaka rĩngĩ na mĩthenya ĩtatũ.”
20 The Jews retorted, "This Temple took forty-six years to build, and will you ‘raise it in three days’?"
Nao Ayahudi magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Hekarũ ĩno yakirwo na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ĩtandatũ, nawe ũkũmĩaka na mĩthenya ĩtatũ?”
21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body; and when the disciples recalled what he had said,
No rĩrĩ, hekarũ ĩrĩa aaragia ũhoro wayo nĩ mwĩrĩ wake.
22 after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
Na thuutha wake kũriũkio kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, arutwo ake makĩririkana ũrĩa oigĩte. Nao magĩĩtĩkia Maandĩko, o na ciugo icio Jesũ aarĩtie.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did;
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarĩ Jerusalemu hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka, andũ aingĩ makĩona ciama iria aaringaga, nao magĩĩtĩkia rĩĩtwa rĩake.
24 but for his part Jesus was not trusting himself to them, because he knew all men,
No Jesũ ndaigana kũmeĩhokera, nĩgũkorwo nĩooĩ andũ othe.
25 and did not need any one’s testimony concerning man, for he himself knew what was in man.
Ndaabataragio nĩ ũira wa mũndũ, ũkoniĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩamenyaga kĩrĩa kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa mũndũ.
