UJohane 2
1 Ngosuku lwesithathu kwaba khona umthimba eKhana laseGalile. Unina kaJesu wayekhona,
And on the third day after, there was a marriage at Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 loJesu labafundi bakhe labo babenxusiwe emthimbeni.
And Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
3 Kwathi iwayini seliphelile unina kaJesu wathi kuye, “Sebephelelwe liwayini.”
And the wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto Him, They have no wine.
4 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Mama, mina lawe singena njani kulokho na? Isikhathi sami kasikafiki.”
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? my time is not yet come.
5 Unina wasesithi ezincekwini, “Libokwenza loba kuyini azalitshela khona.”
His mother saith to the servants, Whatsoever he ordereth you to do, do it.
6 Eduze kwalapho kwakumi imbiza zamatshe eziyisithupha, uhlobo lolo amaJuda ayelusebenzisa enkonzweni yokuzihlambulula, imbiza yinye ingagcwala amalitha alikhulu kusiya ekhulwini elilamatshumi amahlanu.
And there were six stone waterpots, placed according to the custom of purifying among the Jews, containing each about two or three firkins.
7 UJesu wathi ezincekwini, “Zigcwaliseni amanzi imbiza lezi”; ngakho bazigcwalisa zathi phamu.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water-pots with water: and they filled them up to the brim.
8 Wasezitshela wathi, “Khanini-ke liphe umphathi wedili.” Benza njalo,
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and carry it to the master of the feast. And they carried it to him.
9 umphathi wedili wahubula wawanambitha amanzi ayesephendulwe abaliwayini. Kakwazanga ukuthi lavela ngaphi, kodwa izinceku ezaziwakhile amanzi zazisazi. Wasebizela umyeni eceleni
And when the manager of the feast had tasted the water which was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servants, that drew the water, knew, ) he called the bride-groom,
10 wathi, “Wonke umuntu uletha iwayini elimnandi kuqala, kuthi nxa izethekeli sezinathe kakhulu abesekhupha elibi; kodwa wena ugodle elimnandi kuze kube khathesi.”
and saith unto him, Every man sets out good wine at first, and when they have drank plentifully, then that which is worse; but thou hast keep the good wine till now.
11 Lo waba ngumangaliso wakhe wokuqala, uJesu awenza eKhana laseGalile. Wabonakalisa kanjalo inkazimulo yakhe, abafundi bakhe basebebeka ukholo lwabo kuye.
This beginning of his miracles Jesus wrought at Cana of Galilee, and made manifest his glory: and his disciples believed on Him.
12 Ngemva komthimba wasuka waya eKhaphenawume wayahlala insukwana ezimbalwa elonina, labafowabo labafundi bakhe.
After this He went down to Capernaum, He and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they staid there not many days.
13 Kwasekuyisikhathi sePhasika lamaJuda eleminyaka yonke, uJesu wasesiya eJerusalema.
For the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those that sold oxen,
14 Emagumeni ethempeli wafumana abantu bethengisa inkomo, izimvu lamajuba, labanye behlezi ematafuleni bentshintsha izimali.
and sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting:
15 Waseseluka izintambo wenza isaswebhu wabadudula bonke emagumeni ethempeli, konke izimvu lenkomo; wayichithiza imali yabantshintshi bayo, wagenqula lamatafula abo.
and having made a whip of small cords He drove them all, out of the temple; with the sheep and the oxen: and He poured out the changers money, and threw down the tables.
16 Wathi kulabo ababethengisa amajuba, “Akhupheni lapha! Likuthatha ngaphi ukwenza indlu kaBaba umsika wokuthengiselana na?”
And said to them that sold doves, Take away these things from hence, and make not my Father's house an house of traffick.
17 Abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuthi kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Ukunqinekela indlu yakho kuzangidla ngaphakathi.”
And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Lapho amaJuda asemncindezela ngokuthi, “Ungasitshengisa simangaliso bani ukubonisa amandla akho okwenza zonke lezizinto?”
The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him, What sign dost thou shew us, seeing thou dost these things?
19 Wabaphendula uJesu wathi, “Dilizani ithempeli leli, kodwa mina ngizalimisa njalo ngezinsuku ezintathu.”
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again: then said the Jews,
20 AmaJuda aphendula athi, “Sekuthethe iminyaka engamatshumi amane lesithupha ukwakha ithempeli leli, kodwa wena ungalivusa ngezinsuku ezintathu na?”
Forty and six years has this temple been in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? but He spake of the temple of his body.
21 Kodwa ithempeli ayekhulume ngalo kwakungumzimba wakhe.
Therefore when he was risen from the dead,
22 Ngemva kokuvuswa kwabafileyo abafundi bakhe bakukhumbula lokho ayekukhulumile. Ngakho bawukholwa uMbhalo kanye lamazwi uJesu awakhulumayo.
his disciples remembered, that He had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Kwathi ngesikhathi eseMkhosini wePhasika eJerusalema, abantu abanengi bayibona imimangaliso ayeyenza basebekholwa ebizweni lakhe.
And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover on the feast-day, many believed in his name, seeing his miracles, which He wrought.
24 Kodwa uJesu kazange azidele kubo, ngoba wayebazi bonke abantu.
But Jesus did not trust Himself to them;
25 Wayengabudingi ubufakazi bomuntu ngoba wayekwazi okungaphakathi komuntu munye ngamunye.
for He knew all men, and He had no need that any should testify concerning man; for He knew what was in man.
