Johana 2
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa gatatũ nĩ kwagĩire na kihikanio kũu Kana ya Galili. Nyina wa Jesũ aarĩ kuo,
Three days after, there was a marriage in Cana, of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 nake Jesũ na arutwo ake o nao nĩmetĩtwo kĩhikanio-inĩ kĩu.
Jesus, also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
3 Rĩrĩa ndibei yathirire, nyina wa Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Matirĩ na ndibei ĩngĩ.”
The wine falling short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
4 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, ndĩ na ũhoro ũrĩkũ nawe? Ihinda rĩakwa rĩtirĩ rĩrakinya.”
Jesus answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come.
5 Nake nyina akĩĩra ndungata atĩrĩ, “Ĩkai ũrĩa wothe ekũmwĩra.”
His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you.
6 Hau hakuhĩ nao nĩ haarĩ na ndigithũ ithathatũ cia maaĩ ciathondeketwo na ihiga, mũthemba ũrĩa wahũthagĩrwo nĩ Ayahudi magongona-inĩ mao ma gwĩtheria, na o ĩmwe yaiyũragio nĩ ngeereni kuuma mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ nginya mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
Now there were six water pots of stone, containing two or three baths each, placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing.
7 Nake Jesũ akĩĩra ndungata icio atĩrĩ, “Iyũriai ndigithũ maaĩ”; nacio ikĩiyũria riita.
Jesus said to them, Fill the pots with water. And they filled them to the brim.
8 Agĩcooka agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu tahiai ĩmwe mũtwarĩre mũtabania wa iruga.” Nacio igĩĩka o ũguo,
Then he said, Draw, now, and carry to the director of the feast. And they did so.
9 nake mũtabania wa iruga agĩcama maaĩ macio maagarũrĩtwo magatuĩka ndibei. Ndaamenyaga kũrĩa yoimĩte, o na gũtuĩka ndungata iria ciatahĩte maaĩ nĩciamenyaga. Hĩndĩ ĩyo agĩĩta mũhikania keheri-inĩ
When the director of the feast had tasted the wine made of water, not knowing whence it was, (but the servants who drew the water knew, )
10 akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ aambaga kũruta ndibei ĩrĩa njega, na ageni maarĩkia kũnyua mũno, agacooka akaruta ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ njega; no wee ũkũigĩte ĩrĩa njega nginya rĩu.”
he said, addressing the bridegroom, Every person presents the best wine first, and worse wine afterward, when the guests have drunk largely; but you have reserved the best till now.
11 Kĩu nĩkĩo kĩama kĩa mbere kĩrĩa Jesũ aaringire, na aakĩringĩire kũu Kana ya Galili. Akĩonania riiri wake, nao arutwo ake makĩmwĩtĩkia.
This first miracle Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, displaying his glory: and his disciples believed on him.
12 Thuutha ũcio agĩikũrũka Kaperinaumu, marĩ na nyina, na ariũ a nyina, o na arutwo ake. Magĩikara kuo matukũ manini.
Afterward, he went to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; but they staid not there many days.
13 Rĩrĩa Bathaka ya Ayahudi yakuhĩrĩirie-rĩ, Jesũ akĩambata, agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
And the Jewish passover being nigh, Jesus went to Jerusalem;
14 Kũu hekarũ-inĩ nĩakorire andũ makĩendia ngʼombe, na ngʼondu, na ndutura, o na angĩ maikarĩte metha-inĩ magĩceenjia mbeeca.
and finding changers sitting in the temple, and people who sold cattle and sheep, and doves;
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthondeka mũcarica wa mĩkanda, na akĩmarutũrũra othe kuuma hekarũ-inĩ, hamwe na ngʼondu, na ngʼombe; akĩhurunja mbeeca cia arĩa maacenjagia mbeeca na akĩngʼaũrania metha ciao.
he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and cattle, scattering the coin of the changers, and oversetting their tables.
16 Nao arĩa meendagia ndutura akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Eheriai ici gũkũ! Mwahota atĩa gũtua nyũmba ya Baba ndũnyũ!”
and he said to them, who sold doves, Take these things hence. Make not my Father's house a house of traffic.
17 Nao arutwo ake makĩririkana nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Kĩyo kĩrĩa ndĩ nakĩo kĩa nyũmba yaku nĩkĩo gĩkaandĩa.”
(Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture, "My zeal for thy house consumes me.")
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ayahudi makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩama kĩrĩkũ ũngĩtũringĩra gĩa gũtuonia ũhoti ũrĩa ũrĩ naguo wa gwĩka maũndũ macio mothe?”
Therefore, the Jews answered, and said to him, By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things?
19 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Thariai hekarũ ĩno, na nĩngũmĩaka rĩngĩ na mĩthenya ĩtatũ.”
Jesus answering, said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will rear it again in three days.
20 Nao Ayahudi magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Hekarũ ĩno yakirwo na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ĩtandatũ, nawe ũkũmĩaka na mĩthenya ĩtatũ?”
The Jews replied, Forty and six years was this temple in building; and you would rear it in three days?
21 No rĩrĩ, hekarũ ĩrĩa aaragia ũhoro wayo nĩ mwĩrĩ wake.
(But, by the temple, he meant his body.)
22 Na thuutha wake kũriũkio kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, arutwo ake makĩririkana ũrĩa oigĩte. Nao magĩĩtĩkia Maandĩko, o na ciugo icio Jesũ aarĩtie.
When, therefore, he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they understood the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarĩ Jerusalemu hĩndĩ ya Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka, andũ aingĩ makĩona ciama iria aaringaga, nao magĩĩtĩkia rĩĩtwa rĩake.
While he was at Jerusalem, during the feast of the passover, many believed on him, when they saw the miracles which he performed.
24 No Jesũ ndaigana kũmeĩhokera, nĩgũkorwo nĩooĩ andũ othe.
But Jesus did not trust himself with them, because he knew them all.
25 Ndaabataragio nĩ ũira wa mũndũ, ũkoniĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩamenyaga kĩrĩa kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa mũndũ.
He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.
