Yohaannisa 2
1 Heedzantho gallas Galiila biittan Qaana kataman yaaganoy yaaganettis. Yesuusa aayiya he yaaganuwan de7awusu.
Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Yesuusikka ba tamaaretara issife he yaaganuwa xeegettis.
Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
3 Woyne ushshay wurin, Yesuusa aayiya Yesuusakko, “Enttaw woyne ushshay wuris” yaagasu.
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]?”
4 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Ta aaye, ne hayssan geloppa? Ta wodey buroo gakkibeenna” yaagis.
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].”
5 Yesuusa aayiya oosanchchotakko, “I hinttew odiyabaa aybibaa gidikkoka oothite” yaagasu.
Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
6 Ayhudeti bantta geesho wogaas go7ettiya usuppun shuchcha baathati he bessan de7oosona. Issi issi baathay nam77u woykko heedzu xugga oykkees.
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).
7 Yesuusi oosanchchotakko, “Baathatan haathe kunthite” yaagis. Entti baathatas doona gakkanaw haathe kunthidosona.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
8 Yesuusi enttako, “Ha77i duuqqidi yaaganuwa halaafiyas immite” yaagis. Entti iyaw efidi immidosona.
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.
9 Yaaganuwa halaafey woyne ushshi laamettida haathaa ganxi ekkidi awuppe yidaakko eribeenna, shin haathaa kunthida oosanchchoti eroosona. Yaaganuwa halaafey machchiw ekkeyssa xeegidi,
(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,
10 “Oonikka lo77o woyne ushshaa asaa koyrottidi ushshees. Yaatidi asay uyi kallidaappe guye, qiraariya immees. Shin neeni lo77o woyne ushshaa hanno gakkanaw wotha aggadasa” yaagis.
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!”
11 Yesuusi ha koyro malaataa Galiila biittan Qaana kataman oothis; hessan ba gitatethaa bessis. Iya tamaareti iya ammanidosona.
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].
12 Hessafe guye, Yesuusi ba aayera, ba ishataranne ba tamaaretara issife Qifirnahoome giya katamaa bidi guutha gallas gam77is.
Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Ayhudeti bonchchiya Faasika Baale gallasay matatin Yesuusi Yerusalaame bis.
Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
14 Bidi Xoossa Keethan boorata, miizata, dorssatanne holleta bayzeyssatanne bantta oydiyan uttidi miishe laammeyssata demmis.
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.
15 I xurqqafe dooqidi asaa ubbaa entta mehetara Xoossa Keethafe gooddidi kare kessis. Miishe laammeyssata xarpheezatakka aathi yeggidi entta miishiya laallis.
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.
16 Holle bayzeyssata, “Ha holleta hayssafe kessite; ta Aawa keetha giya oothofite” yaagis.
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!”
17 Iya tamaareti Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Taani ne keethas mishettiya mishay tana tamada xuuggees” geetettidi xaafettidayssa akeekidosona.
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.”
18 Hessafe guye, Ayhudeti zaaridi, “Ne hayssa oothanaw new maati de7eyssas nuna ay malaata oothada bessanee?” yaagidosona.
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?”
19 Yesuusi, “Ha Xoossaa Keetha laallite; taani heedzu gallasan zaarada keexana” yaagis.
Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
20 Qassika Ayhudeti, “Ha Xoossa Keetha keexanaw oytamanne usuppun laythi ekkis, shin neeni heedzu gallasan keexanee?” yaagidosona.
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]”
21 Shin Yesuusi odiya Xoossa Keethay ba asatethaabaa.
But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
22 Hessa gisho, Yesuusi hayqoppe denddidaappe guye iya tamaareti I hessa gidayssa akeekidosona. Qassi entti Xoossaa maxaafan xaafettidayssanne Yesuusi odidayssa ammanidosona.
[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].
23 Yesuusi Faasika bonchchiya bessan Yerusalaamen de7ishin, I oothida malaatata be7idi daro asay iya ammanidosona.
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.
24 Shin Yesuusi asaa ubbaa eriya gisho entta ammanibeenna.
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].
25 Asa wozanan de7iyabaa I ba huu7en eriya gisho asabaa oonikka iyaw odana mela koshshibeenna.
He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
