< John 2 >

1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Eso aduna aligili, Ga: ina moilai (Ga: lili sogega) amo ganodini ilia uda lasu hou hamosu. Yesu Ea ame amoga misi esalu.
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
Lolo nasu ouligisu dunu da Yesu, Ea ado ba: su dunu, ilima misa: ne sia: i dagoiba: le, ilia misi esalu.
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]?”
Be waini hano huluane na dagoiba: le, Yesu Ea ame Ema amane sia: i, “Ilia waini huluane da na dagoiba: le ebelei.”
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].”
Be Yesu da bu adole i, “Na hawa: hamomu dia abuliba: le adosala: ? Na ilegei eso da hame doaga: i.”
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Yesu Ea: me da hawa: hamosu dunuma amane sia: i, “Ea adosea dilia hamoma!”
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).
Yu dunu ilia lobo dodofesu hou sema bagade dialu. Amo hou hamoma: ne ofodo da gafeyale gala dialu. Ofodo afae afae da hano100lidase (litres) agoane sogasalasea nabai ba: i.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Yesu da hawa: hamosu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Amo ofodo gafeyale gala amoga hano sogasalawane, nabama!” Amalalu, ilia hano sogasalawane, ofodo da nabaidafa ba: i.
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.
Amalalu, Yesu da ilima amane adole i, “Defea! Wali amo ofodoga hano dili, gaguli asili, lolo Nasu aowasu dunuma ima.” Ilia da Ea sia: i defele hamoi.
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,
Lolo Nasu ouligisu dunu da hano afadenene, bu waini hano hamoi, amo na ba: i. Waini da habidili misi, aowasu dunu da hame dawa: i (be hawa: hamosu dunu da hano dili iabeba: le dawa: i). Amalalu e da uda lamu dunuma amane wele sia: i,
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!”
“Dunu huluane da hidadea waini hano ida: iwane sagole, fa: no ilima misi dunu da bagadewane na dagoiba: le, ilia da wadela: i waini hano sagosa. Be dia hou da hisu. Di da fa: nodafa waini baligili ida: iwane gala ninima iaha!”
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].
Ga: ina moilai, Ga: lili soge ganodini, amoga Yesu da amo degabo gasa bagade musa: hame ba: su hou hamoi dagoi. E da Ea hadigi olelebeba: le, Ea ado ba: su dunu da Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: i galu.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Amohaga fa: no, Yesu, Ea ame, Ea eya, amola Ea ado ba: su dunu, eso bagahame oualigimusa: , Gabena: iame moilaiga asi.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Baligisu Lolo Nasu gilisimu da gadeneiba: le, Yesu da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega asi.
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.
Debolo Diasu ganodini, E da dunu ilia bulamagau, sibi, amola musuni bidi lalebe ba: i. Eno dunu ilia fafai amoga fili, muni afadenene iasu hou hamonanebe ba: i.
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.
Amalalu, Yesu da efega fegasu hamone, ohe fi, bulamagau, amola sibi huluane gadili sefasi. E da muni bidi lasu dunu ilia fafai delegili fasili, ilia muni fage huluane gugudili fasi.
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!”
E da sio bidi lasu dunuma amane sia: i, “Sio huluane gadili gaguli masa! Na Ada ea diasu bidi lama: ne diasu agoane hamomu da defea hame! Yolesima!”
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.”
Amalalu, Ea ado ba: su dunu da Gode Sia: Dedei amo bu dawa: i, amane, “Gode! Na dogo ganodini, Dia Diasu amoma asigi hou da lalu agoane nesa.”
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?”
Yu ouligisu dunu da Yesuma amane adole ba: i, “Di da abuliba: le amo hou hamonanebela: ? Amo olelema: ne, di da adi dawa: digima: ne olelesu ninima olelema: bela: ?”
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Yesu E bu adole i, “Dilia amo Debolo Diasu mugulusia, Na da eso udiana amoga bu hiougili dagomu.”
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]”
Ilia da fofogadigili amane sia: i, “Ola! Musa: dunu ilia ode 46 agoanega amo diasu gagui galu. Di da habodane eso udiana amoga bu gaguma: bela: ?”
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Be Yesu da Debolo Diasu Ea hou hame olelei. E da Ea da: i hodo da diasu agoane sia: i.
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].
Amaiba: le, fa: nowane, Yesu E bogole, bu wa: legadoloba, Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu da amo sia: bu dawa: i galu. Dawa: beba: le, ilia Gode Sia: Dedei bu dawa: le, Yesu Ea sia: i dafawaneyale dawa: i.
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.
Yesu da Baligisu Lolo Nasu amoha Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esaloba, dunu bagohame Ea gasa bagade dawa: digima: ne olelesu ba: beba: le, Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: i.
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].
Be Yesu da osobo bagade dunu ilia hou huluane dawa: beba: le, ilia lalegagui hou dafawaneyale hame dawa: i.
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
Eno dunu da osobo bagade dunu ilia hou Ema olelemu da hamedeidafa. Bai Hisu, enoga mae oleleiwane, liligi huluane osobo bagade dunu ilia dogo ganodini dialebe, dawa: i galu.
