Joni 2
1 Hagi tare knamofo amefi knazupa, arave hunaku Kana kumate Galili kaziga nehazageno, Jisasi nerera'a anante mani'ne.
Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Ana hige'za Jisasine Agri amagenentaza disaipol naga'anena, aravema huku'ma hazarega zamagi hazage'za vu'naze.
Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
3 Wainima vagaregeno'a, Jisasi nerera'a asmino, waini tina hagovagare'ne huno Agrira asmi'ne.
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 Higeno Jisasi'a nererana amanage huno asmi'ne, Ama a' moke, Nagra naza ama zampina huku hugenka nehane? Nagri kna zahufa efore osu'ne.
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 Jisasina nerera'a eri'za vaheku anage huno zamasmi'ne, Agrama inankna kema tamagri'ma tamasminia'zana hiho.
Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
6 Higeno keana 6si'a havereti tro hunte ti afi kavo Juda vahe'mokizmi avu'avapina kavofinti ankehi'za tina fre'za avu sese nehazane, tina mago 100 lita azeritere huga tin kavorami me'ne.
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 Jisasi'a eri'za vahe huzmanteno Ana kavo zagafi ti ome afi viteho hige'za tina ome afi vite'naze.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
8 Higeno Jisasi'a anage hu'ne, Anampinti mago'a afita ne'zante kva hu'nea nera ome amiho, hige'za afi'za ome ami'naze.
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 Ana ne'mo tima neno keana waini ti fore higeno, igati efore hu'neo antahino keno osu'ne, (hagi tima omefi'naza vahe'mo'za antahiza ke'za hu'naze), kavete kva hu'nea ne'mo aravema hia ne' asmino,
(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 maka vahe'mo'za pusante knare wainia tagi zamige'za kema hazage'za, aza vahe'mo'za netageno, anante evurami'nea wainia tagi zamige'za nenaze. Nehazanagi kagra knare wainia ante'nanteti menina eri fore hane!
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 Ama kaguvazana Agra'a ese erigafa huno Jisasi'a Galili kaziga Kana kumate nehuno, Agri'a hihamu masa zama'a eri ama hige'za, Agri amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za Agrite zamentinti hu'naze.
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 Anama huteno Jisasi'a Kapaneamu urami'ne, Agrane nerera ene afuhe'zane amagema nentaza disaipol naga'anena ana kumate vu'za mago'a zagegna umani'naze.
Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Hagi Jiu vahe'ma kinafinti zamare'nea (Pasova) ne'za'ne knamo kofta higeno Jisasi'a Jerusalemi kumate mareri'ne.
Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
14 Vuno ra mono nompi omege'neana vahe'mo'a bulimakaoma, sipisipi'ma, maho namane, zago rezahe nehaza vahe'mo'za tra omente emente hu'za maketi nehazageno ome zamage'ne.
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 Ome zamageteno nofite kano tro hiazamo ra mono nompintira sipisipi'ne bulimakaone vahe'ene zamahenati'netreno zagoma rezahe'ma nehaza naga'mokizmi zagoa ruherafi netreno, ita zamia eriruvahe huherfi'ne.
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 Hagi maho namama maketima nehaza vaheku, Ama nama avreta viho. Nafa'nimofo nona maketi kumara eri tro osiho, huno zamasmi'ne.
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 Agri amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za, kasnampa vahe'mo'za avontafepi kre'nea kegu zamagesa antahi'naze. Amanage huno kre'ne Kagri noma kegava hu'na mani'navesizamo'a nagu'afina tusiza huno navenesie. (Sam-Zga 69:9)
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 Jiu vahe'mo'za Agriku anage hu'naze, Kagra inankna avame'za tagrira huraverisanketa negeta ama nera mrerisa nere huta hugahune?
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 Hazageno Jisasi'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage hu'ne, Ama ra mono nona tgana vazitma eri haviza hinkeno tagufa zagegna manite'na azeri oti'neno, huno hige'za,
Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
20 anante Jiu vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, 46'a zagegafu eri fri'za ama mono nona ki'naze. Hagi Kagra inankna hunka tagufa zage knafina kigahane?
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 Hianagi ra mono nonku'ma kema hu'neana, Agra avufagu hunteno hu'ne.
But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
22 Anagema hu'nere, fri'nefinti'ma otige'za, Agri amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za e'inahu zanku hu'ne hu'za zamagesa antahi'naze. Nentahi'za avon tafemo hu'nea kere ene, Jisasi'ma hu'nea nanekere zamagesa nentahi'za zamentinti hu'naze.
[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 Hagi kinafinti zamavare'nea kna antahimiza (Pasova) muse ne'zama ne'knare Jerusalemi mani'nege'za, hakaremo'za kaguvazama Agrama hiazana nege'za ke'naze Agri agire zamentinti hu'naze.
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 Hu'nazanagi, Jisasi'a Agra kazigatira antahi ozami'ne. Na'ankure miko vahera Agra zamantahino zamage'ne.
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 Na'ankure, Agra antahiantahi zankura upara osu'neankino magomo'a hugesa osugahie. Na'ankure Agra vahe'mofo agu'afina na'a me'neo, ko antahino keno hu'ne.
He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
