Jan 2
1 De jou apre sa, te gen yon maryaj lavil Kana nan peyi Galile. Manman Jez te la,
Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
2 yo te envite Jezi ak disip li yo nan nòs la tou.
Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
3 Rive yon lè pa t' gen diven ankò. Manman Jezi di l' konsa: Yo pa gen diven ankò non.
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 Men Jezi reponn li: Nan kisa mwen ye avè ou, madanm? Lè pa m' lan poko rive.
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 Lè sa a, manman Jezi di moun ki t'ap sèvi yo: Fè tou sa l' di nou fè.
Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
6 Te gen sis gwo ja fèt an wòch ki te sèvi pou jwif yo lave kò yo dapre koutim yo. Yo te gwo ase pou chak te kenbe vin trant galon konsa.
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 Jezi di moun ki t'ap sèvi yo: Plen ja yo dlo. Yo plen yo ra bouch.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
8 Lè yo fini, Jezi di yo: Pran ti gout nan dlo sa a, pote bay chèf kanbiz la goute. Yo pote ti gout bay chèf kanbiz la.
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 Chèf kanbiz la goute dlo ki te tounen diven an. Li pa t' konnen ki bò diven sa a te soti. (Men, domestik yo ki te pran dlo a te konnen.) Li rele nonm ki t'ap marye a,
(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 li di li konsa: Tout moun sèvi pi bon diven an anvan. Se apre tout envite yo fin sou, se lè sa a yo sèvi diven ki pa twò bon an. Men ou menm, ou te sere pi bon diven an. Se koulye a w'ap sèvi l'.
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 Se konsa Jezi te fè premye mirak li lavil Kana nan peyi Galile. Li te fè wè pouvwa li. Sa te fè disip li yo kwè nan li.
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 Apre sa, li ale lavil Kapènawòm ansanm ak manman l', frè l' yo ak disip li yo. Yo pase de twa jou la.
Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Fèt Delivrans jwif yo te vanse rive. Se konsa Jezi moute Jerizalèm.
Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
14 Li jwenn yon bann moun nan tanp lan ki t'ap vann bèf, mouton ak pijon. Gen lòt menm ki te chita dèyè tab yo ap chanje lajan.
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 Li pran kèk kòd, li mare yo ansanm, li fè yon fwèt ak yo. Epi li mete tout moun yo deyò nan tanp lan ansanm ak tout mouton yo ak tout bèf yo. Li chavire tab moun ki t'ap chanje lajan yo, li jete tout kòb yo atè.
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 Li di moun ki t'ap vann pijon yo: Wete sa la. Pa fè kay Papa m' lan tounen yon boutik kote yo fè komès.
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 Disip li yo vin chonje pawòl sa yo ki te ekri nan Liv la: O Bondye, mwen sitèlman renmen kay ou a, mwen santi se tankou yon dife k'ap boule tout anndan mwen.
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 Jwif yo mande li: Ki mirak ou ka fè pou moutre nou ou gen dwa fè sa w'ap fè la a?
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 Jezi reponn yo: Kraze tanp sa a koulye a. Nan twa jou m'ap rebati l' ban nou.
Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
20 Jwif yo di li: Yo pran karannsizan pou yo bati tanp sa a, pou ou menm, pou ou ta pran twa sèl jou pou rebati li?
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 Men Jezi li menm, lè l' t'ap di mo tanp lan se pwòp kò li li te gen nan tèt li.
But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
22 Lè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò, disip li yo vin chonje li te di sa. Se konsa yo te kwè sa ki te ekri nan Liv la ansanm ak tout pawòl Jezi te di yo.
[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 Pandan Jezi te Jerizalèm pou fèt Delivrans lan anpil moun te kwè nan li lè yo te wè mirak li t'ap fè.
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 Men, Jezi pa t' fè okenn ladan yo konfyans, paske li te konnen yo tout byen.
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 Li pa t' bezwen moun te di l' anyen sou pesonn, paske li menm li te konnen sa ki nan kè yo.
He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
