< UJohane 2 >

1 Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu kwaba khona umtshado eKana yeGalili; lonina kaJesu wayekhona lapho;
Olusiku lwa kasatu, mbubhao obhulegesi eyo Kana ya Galilaya na nyilamwene Yesu aligaliwo eyo.
2 njalo uJesu laye wayenxusiwe labafundi bakhe emtshadweni.
Yesu na bheigisibwa bhaye bhaliga bhakokelwe mubhulegesi.
3 Kwathi iwayini selisweleka, unina kaJesu wathi kuye: Kabalalo iwayini.
Omwanya bhejilebhawelwa na manji gomudhabibu, nyilamwene Yesu nabhabwila ati,”Bhatali na idivai.”
4 UJesu wathi kuye: Mama, ngilani lawe? Ihola lami kalikafiki.
Yesu nasubya ati,”mugasi awe ndinaki anye nawe? Omwanya gwani anye guchali kwiya.
5 Unina wathi kuzinceku: Yenzani loba yikuphi azalitshela khona.
Nyilamwene nabhabwila ati abhakosi,”Chona chona echoalabhabwila jemukole.”
6 Kwakukhona lapho imbiza zamanzi ezamatshe zimiswe njengokokuhlambulula kwamaJuda, inye ingena amaphoco amabili kumbe amathathu.
Mbe galigaliwo mayombe gatanu na limwi ga mabhui aliya ganu galiga gateyewo koleleki bhesabhega kulusiku olukulu lwa Bhayahudi, bhuli limwi lwaliga no bhutulo bwa misele ebhili esatu.
7 UJesu wathi kuzo: Gcwalisani imbiza zamanzi ngamanzi. Zasezizigcwalisa zathi kliki.
Yesu nabhamwila ati, “Mwijushe amanji amayombe ga mabhui.” Nibhejusha na ku bhulege.
8 Wasesithi kuzo: Khanini khathesi, lise kumphathi wokudla. Zasezikusa.
Nabhamwila ati bhaliya abhakosi, “Mugege woli musilile omukulu wa inenda.” nibhakola kutyo bhabwiliwe.
9 Umphathi wokudla esizwa amanzi asebe liwayini, engazi ukuthi livela ngaphi (kodwa inceku ezaziwakhile amanzi zazisazi), umphathi wokudla wabiza umyeni,
Omufulubhendi omukulu ejile agalabha galiya amanji ago gaindukile no kubha amanji go mudhabibu nawe atamenyele enu gasoka (nawe abhakosi abhobhataile amanji bhamenyele eyogasokele). Kutyo namubhilikila omutwasi.
10 wasesithi kuye: Wonke umuntu uletha iwayini elimnandi kuqala, kuthi lapho sebenathile kakhulu, abeseletha elibi; wena ugcinile iwayini elimnandi kwaze kwaba khathesi.
Namubwila ati,” Bhuli munu kambaga okutulilao abhanu amanji gekisi na bhakatamila nabhayana amanji ago gatali gakisi. Nawe awe wabhika amanji gakisi kukinga woli”
11 Lokho kuyikuqala kwezibonakaliso uJesu akwenza eKana yeGalili wabonakalisa inkazimulo yakhe; labafundi bakhe bakholwa kuye.
Echikumisho chinu cha Kana ya Galilaya, chaliga chili bwambilo bwe bhibhalikisho ne bhikumisho ebyo akolele Yesu, nelesha likusho lyaye, kutyo abheigisibwa bhaye nibhamwikilisha.
12 Emva kwalokho wehlela eKapenawume, yena, lonina, labafowabo, labafundi bakhe; njalo bahlala khona kungeyisikho okwensuku ezinengi.
Mbe Ipasaka ya Bhayahudi yaliga ili yei, kutuo Yesu nagenda Yerusalemu. Nabhasanga abhakani bha jing'a, jinama nebhiguti munda ya liyekalu. Nabhainja bha jimpilya bheyanjile mu yekalu.
13 Iphasika lamaJuda laselisondele, uJesu wasesenyukela eJerusalema.
Mbe Ipasaka ya Bhayahudi yaliga ili yei, kutyo Yesu nagenda Yerusalemu.
14 Wafica ethempelini labo abathengisa inkabi lezimvu lamajuba, labantshintshi bemali behlezi.
Nabhasanga abhakani bha jing'a, jinama nebhiguti munda ya liyekalu. Nabhainja bha jimpilya bheyanjile mu yekalu.
15 Esenze isiswepu sezintambo wabaxotsha bonke ethempelini, izimvu kanye lenkabi; wachitha imali yabantshintshisayo, wagenqula amatafula;
Yesu nakola olukobha lwe bhisumi, nabhasoshamo bhone abhobhaliga bhalimo mu yekalu, nakumanya jing'a najinama. Neta jimpilya ja bhanu bhainjanga jimpilya naindula jimeja jebwe.
16 wasesithi kwabathengisa amajuba: Susani lezizinto lapha; lingenzi indlu kaBaba indlu yokuthengisela.
Kwabho bhakanaga ebhiguti nabhabwila ati,” Musosheo ebhinu bhinu, musige kukola inyumba ya lata wani kubha nyumba ya kugusishamo.”
17 Abafundi bakhe basebekhumbula ukuthi kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ukutshisekela indlu yakho kungidlile.
Abheigisibwa bhaye nibhechuka okubha yaliga yandikilwe ati,” Lifubha lya inyumba yao lyandiye.”
18 Ngakho amaJuda aphendula athi kuye: Usitshengisa isibonakaliso bani, sokuthi wenze lezizinto?
Abhakulu bhe chiyaudi nibhasubya, nibhamubwila ati, Ni chibhalikisho ki chinu ulolesha kwo kubha oukola emisango jinu?”
19 UJesu waphendula wathi kuwo: Dilizani lelithempeli, njalo ngensuku ezintathu ngizalivusa.
Yesu nabhsubya ati, mulifumye iyekalu linu anye eniinamusha mu siku esatu.”
20 AmaJuda asesithi: Okweminyaka engamatshumi amane lesithupha lelithempeli lakhiwa, wena-ke uzalivusa ngensuku ezintathu yini?
Mbe abhaku bhe Chiyaudi nibhaika ati, yombakilwe myaka makumi gana netanu na gumwi okuyumbaka iyekalu linu kawe owaika oyumbaka kwa siku esatu?”
21 Kodwa yena wayekhuluma ngethempeli lomzimba wakhe.
Nawe, omwene aikile ku ekalu yo mubhili gwaye.
22 Ngakho, kwathi esevukile kwabafileyo, abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuthi wayekutshilo lokhu kubo; bakholwa umbhalo, lelizwi ayelitshilo uJesu.
Kutyo wejile asuluka okusoka mubhafuye, abheigisibwa bhaye nebhechuka chinu aikile kutyo, mibhekilisha amandiko no bhulaka bhunu Yesu aliga aikile. lol
23 Njalo kwathi eseJerusalema ngephasika, emkhosini, abanengi bakholwa ebizweni lakhe, bebona izibonakaliso zakhe azenzayo;
Nawe awobhaliga bhali Yerusalemu omwanya gwa Ipasaka, omwanya gwa malya abhanu bhafu bhekilisishe lisina lyaye, bhejile bhakalola ebhikumisha ne bhibhalikisho ejo akolele.
24 kodwa uJesu ngokwakhe kazinikelanga yena kubo, ngoba yena wayebazi bonke,
Nawe Yesu atabheye no mulembe nabho kwo kubha abhamenyele abhanu bhona.
25 langenxa yokuthi wayengasweli ukuthi loba ngubani afakaze ngomuntu; ngoba yena wayekwazi okusemuntwini.
Aliga atakenele omunu wone okumubwila ebya bhanu okubha amenyele echochaliga chilimo mwebhe.
