John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Ni thum ni ciang in Galilee huam Kana khua ah mopoai om a; tua mun ah Jesus i nu zong om hi:
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
Taciang Jesus le a nungzui te zong mopoai ah ki sam hi.
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]?”
Amate sapittui a ki sap uh ciang in, a nu in Jesus kung ah, amate in sapittui nei nawn ngawl hi, ci hi.
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].”
Jesus in, Nunei awng, nang taw bang kisai hi ziam? ka hun cing ngawllai hi, ci hi.
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
A nu in naseam te kung ah, hong son theampo seam vun, ci hi.
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).
Tua mun ah Judah te ngeina bang in, thiansuana tu in suang tuibeal luk koi uh hi, beal khat sung ah tui gallon kul pan sawmthum kiim ta hi.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Jesus in amate tung ah, Tuibeal te tui dim vun, ci hi. Taciang amate in a dim in tui dim uh hi.
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.
Jesus in amate tung ah, Tu in tui suak vun a, poai ukpa kung ah paipui vun, ci hi. Taciang amate in paipui uh hi.
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,
Poai uk pa in tua sapittui a ki suaksak tui a tep zawkciang in, koisung pan ci a he bua hi: ahihang naseam tuitoai te in he uh hi; poai uk pa in mopa sam a,
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!”
Ama kung ah, midang te in sapittui a pha te koi masa hi; amate in a khomkhat tek a dawn zawk uh ciang in, a pha ngawl zawhiat te koi hi: ahihang nang na hile sapittui a pha te tu dong ciang in na khealsia lai hi, ci hi.
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].
Jesus in hi amasabel nalamdang sia Galilee huam Cana khua ah vawt a, a minthanna kilangsak hi; taciang nungzui te in Ama um uh hi.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Hite zawkciang in, Jesus le a nu, a suapui te le a nungzui te sia Capernaum ah pai uh a: tua mun ah ni tampi sung taam ngawl hi.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Judah te paisanpoai hong naizo a himan in, Jesus sia Jerusalem ah pai hi.
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.
Biakinn sung ah khuital, tuu le vakhu zuak te le sumtheak te a to hon uh laitak mu hi:
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.
Ciangduai tang in khauhual vawt a, tuu le khuital te biakinn sung pan in bengkeak hi; taciang sumtheak te i sum te sung keak a, sabuai te zong lotthalsak hi;
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!”
Taciang vakhu zuak te tung ah, Hi van te hi mun pan in lasiat vun; ka Pa inn sia sumzuakna mun suaksak heak vun, ci hi.
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.”
A nungzui te in, na inn i lawpna in hong ne siat hi, ci a ki atkhol sia phawk uh hi.
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?”
Judah mite in zo kik a, hibang te vawt na hikom in bang musakna hong lak tu ni ziam? ci uh hi.
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Jesus in zo kik a, Hi biakinn pheltham vun, nithum sung sakik tu khi hi, ci hi.
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]”
Judah mite in, hi biakinn sia kum sawmli le kum luk sung a kisa a hihi, nithum sung tung kik zo tu ni ziam? ci uh hi.
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Ahihang Jesus in Ama pumpi biakinn a son na a hihi.
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].
Tua ahikom Jesus sia thina pan a thawkik ciang in, a nungzui te in hi thu te son a hi hunlam phawkkik uh hi; taciang amate in laithiangtho le Jesus i son thu te um uh hi.
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.
Tu in Jesus sia Jerusalem ah paisanpoai ni in, nalamdang tampi a vawt te a mu uh hu in, mi tampi in Ama min um uh hi.
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].
Ahihang Jesus in amate tung ah Ama le Ama ki ap ngawl hi, banghangziam cile mi theampo a heak hang a hihi,
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
Kuama in mihing te thu tettipan kul ngawl hi: banghangziam cile mihing sung ah bang om ziam, ci Ama in he hi.
