UJohane 2
1 Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu kwaba khona umtshado eKana yeGalili; lonina kaJesu wayekhona lapho;
On the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 njalo uJesu laye wayenxusiwe labafundi bakhe emtshadweni.
and Jesus and His disciples were invited to the marriage.
3 Kwathi iwayini selisweleka, unina kaJesu wathi kuye: Kabalalo iwayini.
And they had no wine, because the wine of the marriage was exhausted. Then the mother of Jesus says to Him, There is no wine.
4 UJesu wathi kuye: Mama, ngilani lawe? Ihola lami kalikafiki.
And Jesus says to her, What is that to me and to thee? O woman, my hour is not yet come.
5 Unina wathi kuzinceku: Yenzani loba yikuphi azalitshela khona.
His mother says to the servants, Do whatsoever He may say to you.
6 Kwakukhona lapho imbiza zamanzi ezamatshe zimiswe njengokokuhlambulula kwamaJuda, inye ingena amaphoco amabili kumbe amathathu.
And there were six waterpots of stone sitting there according to the purification of the Jews, containing about two or three firkins. Jesus says to them,
7 UJesu wathi kuzo: Gcwalisani imbiza zamanzi ngamanzi. Zasezizigcwalisa zathi kliki.
Fill the waterpots with water. They filled them to the brim.
8 Wasesithi kuzo: Khanini khathesi, lise kumphathi wokudla. Zasezikusa.
And He says to them, Now draw out and carry to the chief ruler of the feast,
9 Umphathi wokudla esizwa amanzi asebe liwayini, engazi ukuthi livela ngaphi (kodwa inceku ezaziwakhile amanzi zazisazi), umphathi wokudla wabiza umyeni,
and they brought it to him. And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water, having been made wine, and did not know whence it is (but the servants having drawn the water knew), the ruler calls the groom,
10 wasesithi kuye: Wonke umuntu uletha iwayini elimnandi kuqala, kuthi lapho sebenathile kakhulu, abeseletha elibi; wena ugcinile iwayini elimnandi kwaze kwaba khathesi.
and says to him, Every man first sets forth the good wine; and when they have drunk freely, the inferior: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 Lokho kuyikuqala kwezibonakaliso uJesu akwenza eKana yeGalili wabonakalisa inkazimulo yakhe; labafundi bakhe bakholwa kuye.
Jesus did this, the beginning of miracles, in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed on Him.
12 Emva kwalokho wehlela eKapenawume, yena, lonina, labafowabo, labafundi bakhe; njalo bahlala khona kungeyisikho okwensuku ezinengi.
After this He and His mother, and His brothers and His disciples went down into Capernaum, and abode there not many days.
13 Iphasika lamaJuda laselisondele, uJesu wasesenyukela eJerusalema.
And the passover of the Jews were nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 Wafica ethempelini labo abathengisa inkabi lezimvu lamajuba, labantshintshi bemali behlezi.
And He found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting:
15 Esenze isiswepu sezintambo wabaxotsha bonke ethempelini, izimvu kanye lenkabi; wachitha imali yabantshintshisayo, wagenqula amatafula;
and having made a scourge of cords, He cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the money of the exchangers, and over-turned the tables.
16 wasesithi kwabathengisa amajuba: Susani lezizinto lapha; lingenzi indlu kaBaba indlu yokuthengisela.
And He said to those selling doves; Take these things hence, make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.
17 Abafundi bakhe basebekhumbula ukuthi kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ukutshisekela indlu yakho kungidlile.
And His disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house doth eat me up.
18 Ngakho amaJuda aphendula athi kuye: Usitshengisa isibonakaliso bani, sokuthi wenze lezizinto?
Then the Jews responded and said to Him, What sign do you show us, because you do these things?
19 UJesu waphendula wathi kuwo: Dilizani lelithempeli, njalo ngensuku ezintathu ngizalivusa.
Jesus responded and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rear it up.
20 AmaJuda asesithi: Okweminyaka engamatshumi amane lesithupha lelithempeli lakhiwa, wena-ke uzalivusa ngensuku ezintathu yini?
Then the Jews said, Forty and six years was this temple being built, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 Kodwa yena wayekhuluma ngethempeli lomzimba wakhe.
But He spoke concerning the temple of His body.
22 Ngakho, kwathi esevukile kwabafileyo, abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuthi wayekutshilo lokhu kubo; bakholwa umbhalo, lelizwi ayelitshilo uJesu.
Then when He arose from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said these things, and believed the Scripture and words which Jesus spoke.
23 Njalo kwathi eseJerusalema ngephasika, emkhosini, abanengi bakholwa ebizweni lakhe, bebona izibonakaliso zakhe azenzayo;
And when He was in Jerusalem at the feast, during the passover, many believed on His name, seeing His miracles which He was doing;
24 kodwa uJesu ngokwakhe kazinikelanga yena kubo, ngoba yena wayebazi bonke,
and Jesus did not intrust Himself to them because He knows all men,
25 langenxa yokuthi wayengasweli ukuthi loba ngubani afakaze ngomuntu; ngoba yena wayekwazi okusemuntwini.
and because He had no need that any one should witness concerning man; because He was knowing what was in man.
