Yokaana 2
1 Awo bwe waayitawo ennaku bbiri ne wabaawo embaga ey’obugole mu Kaana eky’e Ggaliraaya ne nnyina Yesu yaliyo.
Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Yesu awamu n’abayigirizwa be nabo baayitibwa.
Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
3 Wayini bwe yaggwaawo, nnyina Yesu n’ajja gy’ali n’amugamba nti, “Tebakyalina wayini.”
And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him: “They have no wine left.”
4 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Maama ndeka, kubanga ekiseera kyange tekinnatuuka.”
“What do you want with me?” answered Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”
5 Nnyina Yesu n’agamba abaweereza nti, “Kyonna ky’abagamba kye muba mukola.”
His mother said to the servants: “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Waaliwo amasuwa amanene mukaaga agaategekebwa olw’omukolo gw’Abayudaaya ogw’okwetukuza, buli limu nga lirimu lita kikumi oba kikumi mu ataano.
There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of ‘purification,’ each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7 Yesu n’agamba abaweereza nti, “Amasuwa mugajjuze amazzi.” Ne bagajjuza okutuuka ku migo.
Jesus said to the servants: “Fill the water-jars with water.”
8 Awo n’abagamba nti, “Kale musene mutwalire omukulu w’abagabuzi.” Ne basena ne bamutwalira.
And, when they had filled them to the brim, he added: “Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the Feast.” The servants did so.
9 Omukulu w’abagabuzi bwe yalega ku mazzi agafuuse wayini, nga tamanyi gy’avudde, so nga bo abaweereza baali bamanyi, n’ayita omugole omusajja
And, when the Master of the Feast had tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing where it had come from — although the servants who had taken out the water knew —
10 n’amugamba nti, “Bulijjo omuntu asooka kugabula wayini omuka, n’oluvannyuma ng’abagenyi be banywedde nnyo, tebakyafaayo olwo n’alyoka agabula ogutali muka nnyo. Naye ggwe wayini omuka gw’osembezzaayo!”
He called the bridegroom and said to him: “Every one puts good wine on the table first, and inferior wine afterwards, when his guests have drunk freely; but you have kept back the good wine till now!”
11 Ekyamagero kino, Yesu kye yasookerako okukola mu lwatu mu Kaana eky’e Ggaliraaya, ng’alaga ekitiibwa kye. Abayigirizwa be bwe baakiraba ne bamukkiriza.
This, the first sign of his mission, Jesus gave at Cana in Galilee, and by it revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 Embaga bwe yaggwa Yesu n’adda e Kaperunawumu n’abayigirizwa be n’amalayo ennaku ntono ng’ali eyo ne nnyina ne baganda be.
After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum — he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; but they stayed there only a few days.
13 Embaga y’Abayudaaya ey’Okuyitako bwe yali eneetera okutuuka Yesu n’ayambuka e Yerusaalemi.
Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 N’asanga mu Yeekaalu abaali batunda ente n’endiga n’amayiba era n’abali bawaanyisa ensimbi.
In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money-changers at their counters.
15 Awo Yesu n’addira emiguwa n’agifunyaafunya ne giba ng’embooko n’agobawo endiga n’ente, n’asaasaanya n’ensimbi ez’abaali bawaanyisa, n’avuunika n’emmeeza zaabwe.
So he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the Temple Courts, and the sheep and bullocks as well; he scattered the money of the money-changers, and overturned their tables,
16 N’akyukira abaali batunda amayiba n’abagamba nti, “Bino mubiggye wo. Temufuula Nnyumba ya Kitange katale.”
and said to the pigeon-dealers: “Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s House into a market-house.”
17 Awo abayigirizwa ne bajjukira Ekyawandiikibwa ekigamba nti, “Obuggya bw’Ennyumba yo, Ayi Mukama, bulindya.”
His disciples remembered that Scripture said — ‘Zeal for thy House will consume me.’
18 Awo Abayudaaya ne bamubuuza nti, “Kabonero ki k’otulaga nti olina obuyinza okukola bino?”
Upon this the Jews asked Jesus: “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”
19 Yesu kwe kuddamu nti, “Mumenyeewo Yeekaalu eno ngizzeewo mu nnaku ssatu.”
“Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”
20 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Kiki ky’otegeeza? Yeekaalu eno yatwalira ddala emyaka amakumi ana mu mukaaga okuzimba oyinza otya okugizimbira ennaku essatu?”
“This Temple,” replied the Jews, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”
21 Kyokka Yeekaalu gye yali ayogerako gwe mubiri gwe.
But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
22 Yesu bwe yamala okuzuukira abayigirizwa ne bajjukira nti kino kye yali ayogerako. Ne bakkiriza ebyawandiikibwa n’ebigambo Yesu bye yayogerako.
Afterwards, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the passage of Scripture, and the words which Jesus had spoken.
23 Awo Yesu bwe yali mu Yerusaalemi mu kiseera eky’Embaga ey’Okuyitako, bangi baalaba obubonero bwe yali akola ne bakkiriza erinnya lye.
While Jesus was in Jerusalem, during the Passover Festival, many came to trust in him, when they saw the signs of his mission that he was giving.
24 Kyokka Yesu teyabeesiga, kubanga amanyi abantu bonna,
But Jesus did not trust himself to them, since he could read every heart,
25 kubanga yamanya bw’afaanana, nga teyeetaaga kubuulirwa muntu kyali.
and because he did not need that others should tell him what men were; for he could of himself read what was in men.
