< John 2 >

1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Uwui utaru uwuzi nigura ukana amanyanga mu galili, alno yeso marani ahirame.
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
Abezi yeso nan an a akatum kameme,
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]?”
Sa gmei mu in nabi, masizi kime aino Yeso magu wazin nukasu ugmei mu inabi.”
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].”
Yeso magun ka inome, “inne tizetiginome tiwe me tiniba uganiya um, wamu unaba udaza.
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Ine ini, a'ino a yeso magu narereme, “Vat imum be sama buka shi, iwu hirani, iwu ini.”
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).
Ahirame masirau manu tasi. Mapo ainki usura utanda wa yahudawabarki ukpijo umadini vat masirau me maciri adong uta-tasi.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Yeso magunwe “myincani adonga ginome, in gmei, wanno wa myinciza ani, 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.
Manno ma gunwe intani ika nya aco anigurame wanno waka nya me.
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,
Sa aco ani gurame, sama kuro gmei me sa ahanna men, mage sa a gamirka macukuno gmei mu inabi. Daki marusi ahira musa akem manin, (We arere me waruse ahirame sa akemni).
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!”
Magu gmei mariri mani mu inabi mu inabi manno mameki unyinza anabu. Sa anabu wa siza maduku en magebe sa masiziki me maje me unu ure am, huu wa hunze mari-rimen ana mani wadiku ayyen immani.”
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].
Ine ini mu ujizai mutuba sa yeso mawuzi, mano mawuzi u kana amanyanga mu galili. Mabezi ubari umeme, ahana aka tuma kameme wano wahem in me
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Manno madusa ukafarnaham, me nan ka inome, anu kenu umeme nan ana katuma kameme, maka cukuno abirko wa wu kayen ni.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Ni gura na yahudawa, na-eh mamu yeso madusa 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.
Anyimo udenge uninanzo numeme, waziki uni ucokono we ahira atijamani tinah, nan nitam ma tantabara, nan nanu corso ikirfi waciki ahira akatuma ka wome.
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.
Manno mapi macobiwen ma gidiwe vat uwe anyimo udenge ubiringara me nan ni tamme a iname anu corso ekirfi ma samirka nan ma tantabara me vat.
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!”
Magun na nabo hum koni adadu ageme yazika, akura ugomo asere a cukono ahira ati jamani;
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.”
Ine ini ahana aka kuma kameme. Waringi a nyentike ihori agi acara akura ugomo asere.
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 wakabirka me wagu nyanini udi bezinduru sa uzi ana me.
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Yeso makabirka we magu, tuburkoni udenge ugomo asere mi indi hirza uni anyimo atiye.
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]”
A yahudawa wagu awu time akure anazi in tinu tasi azinu bara ahira aninonzo no gomo asere, me maguna. Tiye ti taru madi barkaa.
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Udenge uninonzome sa yeso mabukani uneni nepom nu meme.
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].
Barka anime uganiya sa ahirzame, anyimo a mu cau ahana akatuma kameme, wanno waringi agi mabuki anime wanno wa hem in ni mum be sa abuki unu tuba nan tize ti yeso sa ma buki.
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.
Abinime uganiya samarzni u urshalima atiye tini gura na yahudawa, anabu gbardang wa hem inza nimeme barki uira imumbe sa mawuzi.
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].
Ine ini yeso ma hem we be.
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
Barki marusa ma ri a muwe me, azome agi uyye mani mabezime barki me, licce ni me me marusa vat imum be sa iraa a mu ruba ma nabu.
