< John 2 >

1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Kimal nayiri atat, uteru nilumgma wadi in Kan'ana un Galili, unan Yesu wa yita ku.
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
Ame Yesu wang iwa nighe uyicilue, nin na nan katwa me, udu kiti nilugme.
3 When the guests had drunk all the wine [that was there], Jesus’ mother said to him, “The wine is all gone; [can you do something about that]?”
Na nmyen narauwe ndari, unan Yesu woroghe, “Na idi nin myen narau ba.”
4 Jesus said to her, “Ma’am/Woman, (do not [tell] me [what to do]!/why do you [tell] me [what to do]?) [RHQ] It is not yet time [MTY] [to show] that I am [the Messiah by working miracles].”
Yesu kawaghe “Uwani, inyaghari nmyen nin ku? Na kubi nighe nsa da ba.”
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Unene woro nono katwa, “Vat nimon ilenge na abelin minu isu, sun inin.”
6 There were six [empty] stone jars there. The Jews [habitually put water in them] to use for washing things [to make them acceptable to God]. Each jar held (20 to 30 gallons/80 to 120 liters).
Asul natala kutocin wa duku alenge na ko kome din li ayangi likalt udu akalt aba na Ayahudawa wa suzu katwa mun kuubi ntanda nwesuzu.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Yesu woro nani, “Kulson asulun nmyene nin nmyen.” I tunna i kulso anin gbem gbem.
8 Then he told them, “Now, ladle out some [of it] and take it (to the head waiter/to the master of ceremonies).” So the servants did that.
A woro anan katwa we “tyan, iyaun idi ni cin buke.” Nanaere iwasu, itya idi nighe.
9 (The head waiter/The master of ceremonies) tasted the water, which had now become wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants who had ladled out the wine knew. [The wine was delicious]! So he called the bridegroom over,
Cin buke ciro nmyene ase miso nmyen narau, na ame yinno kikanga na minuzu ku ba (acinne na iwa tya nmyene wa yiru). Cin buke tunna ayicila kwanyane.
10 and said to him, “Everyone [else] serves the best wine first. Then when the guests have drunk so much [that they cannot tell the difference], [they serve] the cheap wine. But you [have not done what others do]. You have kept the best wine until now!”
aworoghe, “kagha asa atu anutuno nmyen narau micine ana anite, iwa shito anin nutuno mi nangzaghe. Fe uni nna nyeshe micine udak ko kube.”
11 That was the first miracle that Jesus did. He did it in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. By doing it he showed how awesome he is, and as a result, [we] his disciples believed that he [truly was the Messiah].
Ileli imon izikike in Kan'ana un Galili wa di ncizunuari nanya nimon izikiki ilenge na Yesu na suzu, awa durso Ngongong me, anan katwa me ani wa yining ningghe.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Kimal nani, Yesu wa do Kafarnhum, ame unene, nuawne, nin nanan katwa me, kikane iwa di so ku nanya nayiri bat.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Kubi in paska na Yahudawa wa dak susut, Yesu uni wa do Urshalima.
14 There, in the Temple [courtyard], he saw some men who were selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons [for sacrifices]. He also saw men who were sitting at tables, [making a big profit as they] gave people [Temple tax] coins in exchange for [their Roman] coins.
Amini wa dase anit din lessu nina, akam, nan nawulun nanya kutii nlire. Anan kusere ni kurfun wa duku wang.
15 Then Jesus made a whip from some cords and [used it to] chase out the sheep and cattle from the Temple [courtyard]. By overturning their tables he scattered the coins of the men who were exchanging them.
Amini wa piu lishon a ko nani vat unuzu udas nanya kutii nlire, umunu akame nan nine. A gutuna anan kusere nikurfughe. Ikurfughe nan na tebule a turzuno kutyen.
16 He said to those who were selling doves, “Take these doves away [from here]! Stop [defiling] my Father’s Temple [by] making it a market!”
Aworo anan lessu na bilane, “kalan ilenge imone kikane. Na iwa ceo kilari Ncif nin kiti kujauna ba.”
17 Then [we] disciples remembered that these words had been written {that [someone/David] had written [these words]} [in the Scriptures prophesying what the Messiah would say]: “Others [PRS] will strongly oppose me because I greatly desire that [people respect] your Sacred Tent.”
Anan katwa me lizino ina yertin, “Ufo liti ngafe ma wulttunui.”
18 So [one of] the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied to him, “What miracle will you perform to show us that [you have authority from God] to do these things?”
Ayahudawa tardaghe, i woro, “Alama ayapinari uma dursu nari bara na udin su ilenge imone?”
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Yesu kawa aworo, “Musuzun kutii nlira kone, nanya nayri atat nma fiwu kunin.”
20 So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “We have been building this Temple for 46 years [and it is not finished yet]! So (there is no way you will build it within three days!/how will you build it within three days?) [RHQ]”
Ayahudawa woro, “Ina ti akus akut anasari ninkutocin nkye kutii nlira kone, fe uni ma kye kunin nanya nayiri atata?”
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Nani ame wadin bellu nin kutii nlira litimere.
22 [Later], after Jesus had [died and had] become alive again, [we] his disciples remembered the words he had said. As a result, we believed [what had been prophesied in] the Scriptures [about the Messiah becoming alive again], and we believed that what Jesus said [was true].
Bara nin bun iwa fyaghe nanya nanan kule, anan katwa me lizino iwa bellin nani, i yinna nin liru Kutelle a unin ulire na Yesu wa bellin.
23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many people came to believe [that he was the Messiah] because they saw the miracles he was performing.
Nayire na awadin Urshalima kubin paska, nayirin idi, gbardang wa yinnin nin lissame, na iwa yenje imon izikiki ilenge na awa su.
24 But he did not let them tell him what he should do [as the Messiah], because he knew within himself what they were all [thinking].
Vat nin nani, na Yesu wa yinnin ni ghinu ba, bara na ayiru anit asurne vat.
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
Na ame dinin su imong bellinghe imonmon litin nnit usurne ba. Ame litime yiru imong ilenge na idi nnit usurne.
