Hoani 2
1 Na i te toru o nga ra he marena i Kana o Kariri; a reira te whaea o Ihu:
Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
2 I karangatia ano a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga ki te marena.
Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
3 A, i te paunga o te waina, ka mea te whaea o Ihu ki a ia, Kahore a ratou waina.
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 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E tai, he aha taku ki a koe? kahore ano kia taea noatia toku haora.
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 Ka mea tona whaea ki nga kaimahi, Ko tana e mea ai ki a koutou, meatia.
Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
6 Na i reira etahi ipu kohatu e ono e tu ana, he tikanga na nga Hurai mo te horoi, e rua, e toru nga mehua o tetahi, o tetahi, ina ki.
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 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Whakakiia nga ipu ki te wai. A whakakiia ana e ratou, purena noa.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
8 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tena, utuhia, kawea atu ki te rangatira o te hakari. A kawea ana e ratou.
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 A, no ka whakamatau te rangatira o te hakari i te wai i whakawainatia, a kihai i mohio no hea ranei; ko nga pononga ia i utuhia ai te wai i mohio; ka karanga te rangatira o te hakari ki te tane marena hou,
(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 Ka mea ki a ia, E whakatakotoria ana e nga tangata katoa te waina pai i te timatanga; a ka roa te inumanga, mo reira te waina he iti iho nei te pai: ko koe ia, kua tohu i te waina pai mo naianei.
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 I meatia tenei timatanga merekara e Ihu ki Kana o Kariri, i whakakitea e ia tona kororia; a whakapono ana ana akonga ki a ia.
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 Muri iho i tenei ka haere iho ia ki Kaperenauma, a ia, tona whaea, ona teina, me ana akonga: a kihai i maha nga ra i noho ai ratou ki reira.
Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Na kua tata te kapenga o nga Hurai, a ka haere a Ihu ki Hiruharama:
Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
14 Na rokohanga atu e ia i roto i te temepara e noho ana nga kaihoko kau, hipi, kukupa, me nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni.
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 A, ka hanga e ia he whiu ki nga aho nonohi, ka whiua katoatia e ia ki waho i te temepara, nga hipi, me nga kau; ringihia ana hoki te moni a nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, turakina ake nga tepu;
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 I mea ano ia ki nga kaihoko kukupa, Tangohia atu enei i konei; aua te whare o toku Matua e meinga hei whare hokohoko.
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 A ka mahara ana akonga ki te mea i tuhituhia, Ka pau ahau i te aroha ki tou whare.
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 Na ka whakahoki nga Hurai, ka mea ki a ia, he aha te tohu e whakakitea ana e koe ki a matou, ina koe ka mea nei i enei mea?
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 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Wawahia tenei whare tapu, a kia toru nga ra ka ara ano i ahau.
Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
20 Ano ra ko nga Hurai, E wha tekau ma ono nga tau i hanga ai tenei whare tapu, e oti ranei te hanga e koe i nga ra e toru?
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 Otira ko te whare tapu o tona tinana tana i korero ai.
But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
22 Na reira, i tona aranga ake i te hunga mate, ka mahara ana akonga ki tana korerotanga i tenei; a whakapono ana ratou ki te karaipiture, ki te kupu hoki i korerotia e Ihu.
[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 Na, i a ia i Hiruharama, i te kapenga, i te hakari, he tokomaha i whakapono ki tona ingoa, i to ratou kitenga i ana merekara i meatia e ia.
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 Otira kihai a Ihu i tuku atu i a ia ki a ratou, i mohio hoki ia ki nga tangata katoa.
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 A kahore ana meatanga kia whakaaturia te tangata e tetahi: i matau hoki ia ki te mea i roto i te tangata.
He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
