< John 2 >

1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Fini esan boe ma, hambu fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ sia kambo Kana, sia profinsi Galilea. Yesus maman neu boe.
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
Yesus no ana mana tungga nara o neneneroloꞌ boe. De ara reu.
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]?”
Te doo-doo ma, anggor sia mamana fefetas nae basa. Boe ma Yesus maman nafadꞌe E nae, “Tulun dei! Te anggor nara naeꞌ a basa ena.”
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].”
Te Yesus nataa nae, “Mama. Taꞌo bee de mama nauꞌ a Au mana tao mataꞌ? Huu Au fai ngga nda feꞌe losa sa.”
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Te maman nafadꞌe atahori mana lole-lau sia naa ra nae, “Rena, e! Ana denu nggi tao saa, na, tao tungga.”
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).
Sia naa hambu nggusi nee, fo atahori tao mia fatu. Nggusi esa na, mbei ma nala oe liter hitu nulu lima losa natun esa sanahulu lima. Atahori Yahudi ra biasa tao rameu ao nara rendiꞌ oe mia nggusi mataꞌ naa ra tungga sira agaman hohoro-lalanen.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Boe ma Yesus nafadꞌe atahori mana lole-lauꞌ ra nae, “Mii haꞌi oe fo oni neu nggusi ia ra.” Boe ma ara oni sofe se.
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.
De nafadꞌe se nae, “Naa. Ndui mala mbei, fo mendi fee neu tenu fefetas a.” Ma ara tao tungga.
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,
Losa naa, ma tenu fefetas ninu sobꞌa oe a. Tao-tao te oe a dadꞌi anggor ena! Ana tabanganga, huu nda nitaꞌ nae ara hambu anggor mia bee sa boe. (Te atahori mana lole-lauꞌ ra bubꞌuluꞌ.) Boe ma ana noꞌe tou mana saoꞌ 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!”
Boe ma ana nae, “Taꞌo ia. Hita biasan, tenu umeꞌ a banggi naꞌahuluꞌ anggor maladꞌa manaseliꞌ a. Mete ma atahori ra rinu naeꞌ ena, dei fo haꞌi anggor nomor ka ruan. Te tao tabalek. De haꞌi anggor nomor ka ruan naꞌahuluꞌ, dei de feꞌe haꞌi anggor maladꞌaꞌ a naꞌabꞌuit!”
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].
Dalaꞌ naa dadꞌi sia kambo Kana, sia profinsi Galilea. Naa Yesus tao manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ fefeun fo atahori ritaꞌ a. Ana natudꞌu manaselin onaꞌ naa, dei de ana mana tungga nara ramahere E.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Basa naa, ma Yesus, maman, odi nara, boe ma ana mana tungga nara onda reu sia kota Kapernaum. Te ara leo sia naa akaꞌ fai hiraꞌ a.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Leleꞌ atahori Yahudi ra fai malole Paska deka-deka nema ena, Yesus hene nisiꞌ kota Yerusalem.
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.
Sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a sodꞌan, Yesus nita atahori ra raseseoꞌ sapi, bibꞌi lombo, ma mbui lunda fo atahori hasa fo tao neu tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Sia naa, hambu atahori endoꞌ sia mei a tukar doiꞌ fo atahori rae fee neu Lamatualain sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a.
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.
Boe ma Ana haꞌi nala taliꞌ ndooꞌ hira de tao dadꞌi fifiloꞌ. Boe ma Ana mbuu hendi basa se dea reu mia ume sodꞌan. Ana o mboo hendi sapi ro bibꞌi lombo ra. Ana ofe lenggu-bara hendi mei ra, ma mboꞌa leꞌa-nggari hendi doiꞌ ra.
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!”
Boe ma Ana denu atahori mana seo mbui lunda ra nae, “Mendi sudꞌiꞌ a sa ia ra dea reu! Mamanaꞌ ia, nda mamana neseoꞌ sa! Afiꞌ tao Ama ngga Umen dadꞌi mamana sembo-danggan!”
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.”
Boe ma ana mana tungga nara rasanedꞌa Lamatualain Susura Meumaren suraꞌ oi, “Au sue ala seli Lamatualain Umen. Naeni de au rala ngga maꞌadꞌereꞌ de unea nara malolen.”
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?”
Boe ma atahori Yahudi ra malangga nara denu Yesus rae, “Mete ma memaꞌ muꞌena hak mbuu atahori ra onaꞌ naa, na, mutudꞌu manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ esa neu hai fo dadꞌi bukti!”
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Yesus nataaꞌ nae, “Mete ma hei tao milutu mamana meuꞌ ia, dei fo fini esan, na Au ufefela baliꞌ e.”
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]”
Te ara rasapaa rae, “Hambu sia bee? Huu atahori ra rafefela Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ ia dodꞌoon too haa nulu nee. Saa de duꞌa mae, bisa mufefela baliꞌ e fai teluꞌ a?!”
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Te ara nda rahine rae, Yesus olaꞌ soꞌal Aon sa, onaꞌ mamana meuꞌ sa.
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].
Dadꞌi sia fai maꞌabꞌuin, leleꞌ Yesus mate, basa ma nasodꞌa baliꞌ, dei de ana mana tungga nara rasanedꞌa saa fo Ana olaꞌ memaꞌ neu se. Boe ma ara ramahere saa fo Lamatualain Susura Meumaren suraꞌ mia fai maꞌahulun, no saa fo Yesus nafadꞌe memaꞌ neu se ena.
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.
Naa, Yesus leo naꞌatataaꞌ mbei sia kota Yerusalem fo tungga fai malole Paska a sia naa. Boe ma atahori hetar rita manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ fo Ana taoꞌ ra, de ramahere E.
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].
Te Yesus nda namahere se sa, huu nahine basa atahori ra rala nara ena. Ana nda parlu atahori rafadꞌe Eni sa, huu mesaꞌ ne bubꞌuluꞌ memaꞌ atahori tetende-nemberiin ena.
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
