John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Ie tongoa’ ty herone le tondroke e Kana e Galilia añe ty enga-valy naho teo ty rene’ Iesoà
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
vaho songa nañambaràñe homb’ amy enga-vaoy t’Iesoà naho o mpiama’eo.
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]?”
Ie ho nikapioke ty divay le hoe i rene’ Iesoà ama’e: Tsy aman-divay iereo.
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].”
Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: O Rakembao, inoñ’ ama’o naho amako izay? Mbe tsy tsatoke ty orako.
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Fe hoe ty nafanton-drene’e amo mpitoroñeo: Anò ze ampanoa’e.
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).
Nidoñe marine eo ty sajoa vato eneñe, fañaliova’ o Jiosio, songa nahaatseke fañaranañe telo ndra roe.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iareo: Atsafo rano o sajoao. Le nipeà’ iereo pak’an-tsoñi’e.
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.
Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Anovizo henaneo vaho endeso amy talèn-engay. Le nandesa’ iareo;
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,
aa naho nitsopeke i rano niova ho divaiy i talèn-tsabadidakey, ie tsy napota’e ty nihirifa’e, fa o mpitoroñe nanovy i ranoio avao ro nahafohiñe, le kinanji’ i talen-tsabadidakey i mpañengay
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!”
vaho nanoa’e ty hoe, Fanjotso’ ondatio aolo ty divay soa, ie nikamaeñe, vaho izay ty masay; fa ihe ka nañaja ty divay soa ampara henane.
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].
Izay ty lengom-bilo’ Iesoà nanoe’e e Kana’ i Galilia añe, nampiboake ty enge’e naho nampiantofa’e o mpiama’eo.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Ie modo izay le nizotso mb’e Kapernaome mb’eo, ie naho i rene’e naho o rahalahi’eo vaho o mpiama’eo, le nitoetse ao andro tsy ampeampe.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Ie an-titotse i Fihelañ’ ambone’ o Jiosioy, le nionjomb’e Ierosaleme añe t’Iesoà.
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.
Naho nizoe’e an-kiririsan’ anjomban’ Añahare ao o nandetak’ añombe naho añondry naho dehoo, vaho o mpampikalo dralao mitoboke ey.
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.
Aa le namboare’e firison-kafotse naho fonga sinoi’e hiakatse i anjombay mindre amo añondrio naho o añombeo, le nalonga’e o dralam-pampikalo dralao vaho navalihoho’e o talatalao,
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!”
le hoe re amo mpandetake dehoo: Akaro añe o rahao vaho ko anoeñe kibohon-kilankañe ty anjomban-dRaeko.
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.”
Le nitiahi’ o mpiama’eo i pinatetse, ty hoe: Nampibotsek’ ahy ty fahimbañako amy anjomba’oy.
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?”
Tinoi’ o Tehodao ty hoe: Inoñe ty viloñe hatoro’o anay, te ihe manao o raha retiañe?
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Rotsaho ty anjomba toy le hatroako añate’ ty telo andro.
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]”
Aa le hoe o Tehodao: Efapolo eneñ’ amby taoñe ty namboareñe ty anjomba toy, vaho hatroa’o añ’ ate ty telo andro?
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Fa i akibam-pañova’ey ty nienta’ey.
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].
Aa ie nivañom-belon-dre le nitiahi’ o mpiama’eo i tsinara’e am’iereoy; le natokisa’ iareo o Sokitse Masiñeo naho ty entañe nisaontsie’ Iesoà.
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.
Ie te Ierosaleme ao amy Fihelañey, le maro ty niantoke i tahina’ey te nahaisake o raha tsitantane nanoe’eo.
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].
F’ie tsy nampivave’ Iesoà, amy te kila arofoana’e ondatio;
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
vaho tsy nipay mpitalily ondaty, fa arofoana’e ze am’ondatio.
