< Yohani 2 >

1 Lishaka lya tatu kuweriti ndowa mulushi lwa Kana, kumkowa Galilaya. Mawu gwakuwi Yesu kaweriti palaa,
Three days after, there was a marriage in Cana, of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Yesu pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi nawomberi wawashemiriti ku ndowa.
Jesus, also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
3 Divayi payiperiti, mawu gwa Yesu kamgambira, “Kwahera divayi.”
The wine falling short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
4 Yesu kamwankula, “Mawu, nagung'ambira shakutenda. Saa yaneni yankali.”
Jesus answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come.
5 Mawu gwa Yesu kawagambira wantumintumi, “Mtendi shoseri shakawagambireni.”
His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you.
6 Palii paweriti na vulu sita zya mabuwi na kila lumu luweziti kutulwa mashi shyasi sha madebi mawili ama matatu. Iweriti wayitula paliii toziya ya shitiba sha Shiyawudi sha kunawira.
Now there were six water pots of stone, containing two or three baths each, placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing.
7 Yesu kawagambira wantumini, “Mumemiziyi viwiga avi mashi.” Nawomberi wavimemiziya mashi nduu,
Jesus said to them, Fill the pots with water. And they filled them to the brim.
8 shakapanu kawagambira, “Vinu mteki mashi aga mwakamjegeri mkulu gwa msambu.” Womberi watola mashi na kumjegera yomberi,
Then he said, Draw, now, and carry to the director of the feast. And they did so.
9 su vinu mashi gagalambusiwa gawera divayi na kagalawalira. Mkulu gwa msambu kavimana ndiri kwayilawiriti divayi, su wantumintumi pawatekiti mashi wavimaniti, mkulu gwa msambu kamshemiti mpalu gwa ndowa
When the director of the feast had tasted the wine made of water, not knowing whence it was, (but the servants who drew the water knew, )
10 kamgambira, “Kila muntu kaitandaga divayi iherepa huti ata pawikuta kala, kaitandaga ilii ifaa ndiri. Kumbiti gwenga guitula divayi iherepa mpaka vinu!”
he said, addressing the bridegroom, Every person presents the best wine first, and worse wine afterward, when the guests have drunk largely; but you have reserved the best till now.
11 Yesu katenda liuzauza ali lya kwanja haku Kana mu Galilaya, kaulanguziya ukwisa wakuwi na wafundwa wakuwi wamjimira.
This first miracle Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, displaying his glory: and his disciples believed on him.
12 Pagalawiriti kala aga, Yesu pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi na walongu wakuwi na wafundwa wagenditi Kafarinaumu na walikaliti kuliya mashaka gavuwa ndiri.
Afterward, he went to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; but they staid not there many days.
13 Msambu gwa Pasaka gwa Wayawudi guweriti gwa pakwegera, su Yesu kagenditi Yerusalemu.
And the Jewish passover being nigh, Jesus went to Jerusalem;
14 Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu kawawoniti wantu wankuwuza wang'ombi na wakondolu na wangunda na viraa wantu wamonga wankuvunjira mpiya pawalivaga pameza zawu. 14
and finding changers sitting in the temple, and people who sold cattle and sheep, and doves;
15 Kanyawiti ntomondu ya lugoyi na kawawinga wavigongolu woseri walawi kunja kwa Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, pamuhera na wakondolu na wang'ombi, kazigalambuziya meza zawatendiriti kuvunjira mpiya na kuzipalasiya mpiya zawu,
he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and cattle, scattering the coin of the changers, and oversetting their tables.
16 na kawagambira walii woseri yawaweriti wankuwuza wangunda, “Muusii vintu avi panu! Muleki kutenda numba ya Tati gwangu iweri pahala pa soku!”
and he said to them, who sold doves, Take these things hence. Make not my Father's house a house of traffic.
17 Wafundwa wakuwi waliholiti Malembu ntambu yagalembitwi, “Mlungu, kulilaviya kwaneni munumba mwaku kuyaka mumoyu mwangu gambira motu.”
(Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture, "My zeal for thy house consumes me.")
18 Wakulu wa Shiyawudi wamu wamkosiya Yesu, “Hagutendi liuzauza gaa kutulanguziya twenga handa gwana uwezu kutenda vitwatira avi?”
Therefore, the Jews answered, and said to him, By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things?
19 Yesu kawankula, “Hambomoli Numba nkulu ya Mlungu ayi, neni hanuyijengi kayi kwa mashaka matatu.”
Jesus answering, said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will rear it again in three days.
20 Wayawudi wamkosiya, “Numba nkulu ya Mlungu ayi waijengiti kwa mivinja milongu msheshi na sita! Hashi, gwenga hagujengi kwa mashaka matatu?”
The Jews replied, Forty and six years was this temple in building; and you would rear it in three days?
21 Kumbiti numba nkulu ya Mlungu Yesu yakayitakuliti ndo nshimba yakuwi.
(But, by the temple, he meant his body.)
22 Su pakazyukisiwitwi kulawa kwa wahowiti, wafundwa wakuwi waliholiti handa katakuliti aga na wagaaminiti Malembu Mananagala na shilii shakatakuliti Yesu.
When, therefore, he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they understood the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.
23 Yesu pakaweriti Yerusalemu shipindi sha msambu gwa Pasaka, wantu wavuwa wamjimiriti pawawoniti mauzauza gakatenditi.
While he was at Jerusalem, during the feast of the passover, many believed on him, when they saw the miracles which he performed.
24 Yesu kalilaviya ndiri kwa womberi, toziya kayimaniti myoyu yawu woseri.
But Jesus did not trust himself with them, because he knew them all.
25 Kafira ndiri wamgambiri shoseri kuusu wantu, toziya kavimaniti weri vitwatira vyoseri yaviweriti mumyoyu mwawu.
He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.
