Yohanes 2
1 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, wokpe Yesu dada be wòava kpɔ srɔ̃ɖeɖe aɖe teƒe le Kana si le Galilea Nuto me.
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Wokpe Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo hã.
Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
3 Esi wɔnawo nɔ edzi yim la, wain si nom ameawo nɔ la vɔ. Ale Yesu dada va egbɔ hegblɔ nɛ be, “Wain mele wo si o.”
When they ran out of wine, Jesus’ mother told Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Yesu ɖo eŋu na dadaa be, “Aƒenɔ, nu ka dim nèle be mawɔ na wò fifia? Nye ɣeyiɣi meɖo haɖe o.”
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My time has not yet come.”
5 Gake Yesu dada gblɔ na subɔlawo be, “Miwɔ nu sia nu si wòbe miawɔ.”
His mother told the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6 Azɔ tsizɔ ade nɔ teƒea. Esiawo Yudatɔwo zãna hena woƒe ŋutikɔklɔkɔnuwo wɔwɔ. Tsi lita blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ alo alafa ɖeka wuiatɔ̃ tea ŋu nɔa wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me.
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding two to three metretes.
7 Yesu gblɔ na subɔlawo be, “Midu tsi kɔ ɖe zɔwo katã me woayɔ.” Ale wowɔ nenema.
Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water,” so they filled them to the brim.
8 Egagblɔ na wo be, “Azɔ mikui yi na nuɖuɖudzikpɔla la.” Wowɔ nenema.
Then He told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
9 Nuɖuɖudzikpɔla la no tsi si trɔ zu wain la ƒe ɖe, ke menya afi si wòtso o, subɔlawo koe nya. Azɔ eyɔ ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ la
and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He didn’t realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10 eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Zi geɖe la, srɔ̃ɖelawo naa wain nyuitɔ woƒe ame kpekpewo gbã, eye ne ame sia ame noe wòsui vɔ la, ekema wotsɔa manyomanyotɔ vɛ. Ke wò la, èdzra nyuitɔ ɖo, eye nètsɔe vɛ le nuwuwua.”
and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first, and then the cheaper wine after the guests have drunk freely, but you have saved the best till now!”
11 Esiae nye dzesi gbãtɔ si Yesu wɔ le Kana le Galilea hetsɔ ɖe eƒe Ŋutikɔkɔefia, eye eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo xɔ edzi se.
Jesus did this beginning of signs in Cana of Galilee. He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12 Esi srɔ̃ɖeŋkekenyui la wu enu la, Yesu kple dadaa, nɔviawo kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dzo yi Kapernaum, eye wonɔ afi ma ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo.
After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother, His brothers, and His disciples, and they stayed there only a few days.
13 Esi Yudatɔwo ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la gogo la, Yesu yi Yerusalem.
The time for the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 Ekpɔ amewo le gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu wonɔ nyiwo, alẽwo kple akpakpawo dzram. Gaɖɔlilawo hã nɔ teƒea nɔ ga ɖɔlim na amewo.
He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.
15 Ale Yesu tsɔ ka aɖewo tro atam, eye wònya wo katã do goe le gbedoxɔ la me. Enya alẽawo kple nyiawo hã do goe, ekaka gaɖɔlilawo ƒe gawo ɖe anyigba, eye wòmu woƒe kplɔ̃wo ƒu anyi.
When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
16 Egblɔ na ame siwo nɔ akpakpawo dzram la be, “Mitsɔ nu siawo do goe le afi sia! Migatsɔ Fofonye ƒe aƒe la wɔ asimee o!”
He told those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Don’t make my Father’s house a market place!”
17 Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ɖo ŋku edzi be mawunya gblɔ be, “Lɔlɔ̃ na wò aƒe zu dzo ge ɖe menye.”
Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.”
18 Azɔ Yudatɔwo va Yesu gbɔ hebiae be, “Ŋusẽ ka nèkpɔ, be nèwɔ nu siawo, eye dzesi ka nàfia mí?”
So the Jews answered and asked Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
19 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Migbã gbedoxɔ sia, eye magagbugbɔe atu le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe.”
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Yudatɔwo gblɔ be, “Ƒe blaene-vɔ-adee wotsɔ tu gbedoxɔ siae. Ke wò ya nèbe yeate ŋu atui le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbea?”
Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21 Ke “gbedoxɔ” si ŋu Yesu nɔ nu ƒom le lae nye eƒe ŋutilã.
But the temple He had spoken of was His body.
22 Esi Yesu tsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la, nusrɔ̃lawo ɖo ŋku edzi be egblɔ nya sia ɖi. Eye wokpɔe dze sii be nya siwo katã Yesu gblɔ tso mawunya me la ƒo nu tso eya ŋutɔ ŋu, eye wo katã va eme vavã.
After He was raised from the dead, His disciples recalled what He had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
23 Dzesi siwo Yesu wɔ le Ŋutitotoŋkekea dzi le Yerusalem la na be ame geɖe xɔ eƒe ŋkɔ dzi se.
Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs He was doing and believed in His name.
24 Ke Yesu meka ɖe ame siawo ƒe xɔse dzi o, elabena edze si amegbetɔwo ƒe nɔnɔme.
But Jesus didn’t commit Himself to them, because He knew all people,
25 Mehiã be ame aɖeke naɖi ɖase nɛ tso amegbetɔ ŋu o, elabena eya ŋutɔ nya nu si le ame me.
and had no need for anyone to testify about people, for He knew what was in people.
