John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Saanyi lidi Kana samnuthung ko Galili hah ni kuhoonta. Jisu nuh uh erah ni angta,
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
Jisu nyia heliphante loong ah nep kuhoon thengni poon rumta.
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]?”
Kham ah thoonphe korum ano, heh nuh ih Jisu suh baatta, [Neng jiinni kham ah takah jeeka.]
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].”
Jisu ih liita, [tiimjih etheng ah ngasuh nakbaat hang.] [Nga saapoot maang thokra.]
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Eno Jisu nuh ih neng laksuh loong asuh baatta, [Heh ih tiim etheng baat han erah re anjoh.]
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).
Jehudi loong juusaakaat ah neng banlam angta, erah raangtaan ih jong tekpoh arok ah banthiin roh ih rumta, tekpoh esiit ni ju ah rooknyi rookjom piipa taan thosak theng angta.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Jisu ih heh laksuh loong asuh baatta, [Arah tekpoh loong adoh joong ah meeke an.] Neng loong ah ih hesiitsiit ih meeke rum kano,
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.
Jisu ih baat rumta. [Bolam bah joong ah we ngaakke anno saroom phaksat sokboite warah asuh kokaat an.] Heh laksuh loong ah ih ju ah phaksat sokboite warah asuh kokaat rumta,
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,
eno erah kham eh hoonta, erah warah ih thaakjok ih adi kham sumsum eta. Heh ih kham ah manawa angta erah tajatta, (enoothong, joongkeete loong ah ih ba jat eta); erah thoidi jaalah kapte warah poon ano
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!”
heh suh liita. [Mirep ih kham eseethoon ah jaakhoh phe koha, eno wenwah loong ih phootjok taano, thaangne kham ah pheekoh ah. Erabah uh amadi tuk ih kham eseethoon ah thokthiin hu!]
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].
Jisu ih paatjaajih ah Kana hadaang Galili ni phang mokata, erah di hechaan hephaan ah jatthuk rumta, eno heliphante loong ah ih hanpi ih rumta.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Erah lih adi Jisu nyia heh nuh, hephoh heno, erah damdi heh laksuh loong ah Kaparnam ni wang rum ano saajombaji tongwang rumta.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Khopi kuwaang lang nanah ang kano, Jisu Jerusalem ni kata.
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.
Erah ni miwah loong ah Rangteenook ni luiamaan, saap, tokparu sangte nyia ngun lekte teebun ni thiin arah japtup kata.
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.
Erah thoidi Jisu ih luiamaan nyia saap loong ah ruh nawa ih Rangteenok dowa phanbuta; ngun lekte teebun ah loonghaat ano jaan ngunsah loong ah wenhaat eta;
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!”
eno tokparu sangte loong asuh baatta, [Adowa dokpi ih kaat an! Sengwah nok ah thaangsang theng nak hoon an!]
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.”
Heliphante loong ah ih Rangteele ni emah ih raangha ah samthun rumta, [O Rangte, an nok suh mongmah lang ah nga ten ni weelu ah likhiik luula.]
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?”
Jehudi ngoong awang loong ah ih ngaakwang rum haano Jisu suh cheng rumta, [An ih emah jen re ang ngeh ih noisok suh an ih seng suh paatjaajih tiimjih jen noisok he?]
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Arah Rangteenook ah thaak haat ih an, sa jom lidoh Ngah ih weengaak hoon ih ang.]
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]”
[An ih sa jom doh weengaak hoon ih uh nih?] Neng ih cheng rumta. [Arah Rangteenook ah tomhoon suh rookbaji paang arok laakiita!]
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Enoothong Jisu ih Rangteenook tiit baatta ah heh sakpuh tiit baatta.
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].
Erah raangtaan ih heh tek nawa ngaaksaat taadoh, erah jengta ah heliphante loong ih samthun ih rumta, eno neng ih Rangteele ni liiha ah nyia Jisu jengta rah hanpi ih rumta.
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.
Khopi Kuwaang haangdi Jisu Jerusalem ni angta doh, heh ih paatjaajih loong ah re kano mina hantek ih hanpi rumta.
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].
Enoothong Jisu ih neng tenthun ah jat ano heteewah neng suh talaalom rumta.
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
Mina loong tiit ah heh suh mih ih baattheng ju tah angta, tiimnge liidi neng tenthun ah heh teewah ih jat ih rumta.
