< John 2 >
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
ତୃତୀୟ ଦିବସରେ ଗାଲିଲୀର କାନ୍ନାରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ବିବାହ ହେଲା, ଆଉ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ମାତା ସେଠାରେ ଥିଲେ;
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
ଯୀଶୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଆପଣା ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ସେହି ବିବାହକୁ ନିମନ୍ତ୍ରିତ ହେଲେ।
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]?”
ପରେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ସରିଯିବାରୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ମାତା ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ନାହିଁ।
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].”
ସେଥିରେ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଗୋ ନାରୀ, ମୋତେ କାହିଁକି ଏଥିରେ ଜଡ଼ିତ କରୁଅଛ? ମୋହର ସମୟ ଏପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୋଇ ନାହିଁ।”
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
ତାହାଙ୍କ ମାତା ପରିଚାରକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯାହା କିଛି କହନ୍ତି, ତାହା କର।
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).
ଆଉ, ସେଠାରେ ଯିହୁଦୀମାନଙ୍କ ଶୁଚିକରଣ ରୀତି ଅନୁସାରେ ଦୁଇ ବା ତିନି ମହଣିଆ ଛଅଗୋଟା ପଥର ଜାହାଲା ରଖାଯାଇଥିଲା।
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଜାହାଲାଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ପାଣି ଭର୍ତ୍ତି କର।” ସେଥିରେ ସେମାନେ ସେହିସବୁ ଫନ୍ଦ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଭର୍ତ୍ତି କଲେ।
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.
ଆଉ, ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଏବେ କାଢ଼ିନେଇ ଭୋଜର ଅଧ୍ୟକ୍ଷଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଘେନିଯାଅ।” ସେଥିରେ ସେମାନେ ଘେନିଗଲେ।
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,
ଭୋଜର ଅଧ୍ୟକ୍ଷ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସରେ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ ହୋଇଥିବା ସେହି ପାଣିକୁ ଚାଖି ତାହା କେଉଁଠାରୁ ଆସିଲା, ଏହା ଜାଣି ନ ଥିବାରୁ (କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେଉଁ ପରିଚାରକମାନେ ପାଣି କାଢ଼ିଥିଲେ, ସେମାନେ ଜାଣିଥିଲେ) ବରଙ୍କୁ ଡାକି କହିଲେ,
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!”
ସମସ୍ତେ ପ୍ରଥମରେ ଭଲ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ଦେଇଥାଆନ୍ତି, ଆଉ ଲୋକେ ମାତାଲ ହେଲା ଉତ୍ତାରେ ମନ୍ଦ ଦିଅନ୍ତି; ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଭଲ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ରଖିଅଛ।
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].
ଯୀଶୁ ଏହି ପ୍ରକାରେ ଗାଲିଲୀର କାନ୍ନାରେ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟକର୍ମ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରି ଆପଣା ମହିମା ପ୍ରକାଶ କଲେ, ଆଉ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କଲେ।
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ସେ ଆପଣା ମାତା, ଭାଇବୃନ୍ଦ ଓ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ କଫର୍ନାହୂମକୁ ଗଲେ; ପୁଣି, ସେମାନେ ସେଠାରେ ଅଧିକ ଦିନ ରହିଲେ ନାହିଁ।
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
ସେତେବେଳେ ଯିହୁଦୀମାନଙ୍କର ନିସ୍ତାର ପର୍ବ ସନ୍ନିକଟ ହୋଇଥିଲା, ଆଉ ଯୀଶୁ ଯିରୂଶାଲମ ସହରକୁ ଗଲେ।
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.
ପୁଣି, ସେ ମନ୍ଦିରରେ ଗୋରୁ, ମେଣ୍ଢା ଓ କାପ୍ତା-ବ୍ୟବସାୟୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଉ ମୁଦ୍ରା-ବ୍ୟବସାୟୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ବସିଥିବା ଦେଖି ଦଉଡ଼ିରେ ଗୋଟିଏ କୋରଡ଼ା ବନାଇ ମେଣ୍ଢା ଓ ଗୋରୁ ସହିତ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ମନ୍ଦିରରୁ ବାହାର କରିଦେଲେ;
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.
ପୁଣି, ମୁଦ୍ରା-ବ୍ୟବସାୟୀମାନଙ୍କର ମୁଦ୍ରାସବୁ ବିଞ୍ଚିଦେଇ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମେଜଗୁଡ଼ାକ ଓଲଟାଇ ପକାଇଲେ;
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!”
ଆଉ, ସେ କାପ୍ତା-ବ୍ୟବସାୟୀମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଏଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଏଠାରୁ ଘେନିଯାଅ, ମୋହର ସ୍ୱର୍ଗସ୍ଥ ପିତା ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ଗୃହକୁ ବାଣିଜ୍ୟର ଗୃହ କର ନାହିଁ।”
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.”
ତୁମ୍ଭ ଗୃହ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଉଦ୍ଯୋଗ ମୋତେ ଗ୍ରାସ କରିବ, ଏହା ଲେଖାଅଛି ବୋଲି ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କର ମନରେ ପଡ଼ିଲା।
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?”
ସେଥିରେ କେତେକ ଯିହୁଦୀ ନେତାମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେ ଏସମସ୍ତ କରିବାକୁ ଅଧିକାର ପାଇଅଛ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସେଥିର କି ଚିହ୍ନ ଦେଖାଉଅଛ?
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଏହି ମନ୍ଦିରକୁ ବିନାଶ କର, ଆଉ ତିନି ଦିନ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ମୁଁ ତାହା ତୋଳି ଦେବି।”
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]”
ସେଥିରେ ଯିହୁଦୀମାନେ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ମନ୍ଦିର ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଛୟାଳିଶ ବର୍ଷ ଲାଗିଅଛି; ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କଅଣ ତାହାକୁ ତିନି ଦିନରେ ତୋଳି ଦେବ?
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ଆପଣା ଶରୀରରୂପ ମନ୍ଦିର ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ କହୁଥିଲେ।
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].
ଏଣୁ ସେ ମୃତମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ଉତ୍ଥିତ ହେଲା ଉତ୍ତାରେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ସେ ଏହା କହିଥିଲେ ବୋଲି ସ୍ମରଣ କଲେ; ପୁଣି, ସେମାନେ ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ଓ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ କଥିତ ବାକ୍ୟ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କଲେ।
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.
ନିସ୍ତାର ପର୍ବର ଉତ୍ସବ ସମୟରେ ସେ ଯିରୂଶାଲମ ସହରରେ ଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଅନେକେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସାଧିତ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟକର୍ମଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଦେଖି ତାହାଙ୍କ ନାମରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କଲେ,
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].
କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ନ କରି ସେମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଆପଣାକୁ ପୃଥକ ରଖିଲେ, କାରଣ ସେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଜାଣିଥିଲେ,
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
ପୁଣି, କେହି ଯେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ବିଷୟରେ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ଦେବ, ଏହା ତାହାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରୟୋଜନ ନ ଥିଲା, ଯେଣୁ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଅନ୍ତରରେ କଅଣ ଅଛି, ତାହା ସେ ଆପେ ଜାଣିଥିଲେ।
