< Yohane 2 >

1 Mpopalapita masuba abili, kwalaba bwinga ku Kana munshi walikuba mucimpansha ca Galileya. Nabo banyina Yesu balayako.
The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee [District, Circuit]. Yeshua's [Salvation]'s mother was there.
2 Yesu neye pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi balakwiwako kubwinga ubu.
Yeshua [Salvation] also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.
3 Mpowalapwa waini ngobalikunwa bantu, banyina Yesu balamwambileti, “Ulabapwili waini.”
When the wine ran out, Yeshua's [Salvation]'s mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ma kamutang'ambila ncendela kwinsa, Cindi cakame nkacitana cishika.”
Yeshua [Salvation] said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 Necikabeco banyina balambila basebenshi bapabwingeti, “Mwinse ciliconse nceti amwambile.”
His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
6 Lino popelapo palikuba nongo sha mabwe shisanu ne imo, balashibikapo pacebo ca mwambo wa Bayuda wakuliswepesha. Munongo iliyonse mwalikwingila menshi akwana mingomo isanu nambi kupitililapo.
Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Judean [Person from Praise] way of purifying, containing two to three metretes [20 to 30 gal; 37.85 to 75.7 L] for each pot, [a total of 1,200 to 1,800 gal; 188.7 to 315 L].
7 Lino Yesu walambila basa basebenshi, “Kamushani menshi munongo shonse shisule.” Naboyo balesusha mpaka pamilomo.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” They filled them up to the brim.
8 Panyuma pakendi walabambileti, “Lino tekulani, mutwalile mukulene lendeleshenga bwinga.” Naboyo balamutwalila.
He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
9 Mukulene wa bwinga mpwalatelela menshi asa Yesu ngalasandula kuba waini, liya kwinshiba kwalafuma waini uyo. Nomba basebenshi basa balateka menshi balikwinshiba. Lino mukulene walikwendelesha bwinga walakuwa shibwinga,
When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 ne kumwambileti, “Bantu bakute kutanguna kuyaba waini waina, nomba bantu bekuta, ukute kubapa waini waina pang'ana. Nomba amwe mwanga mwabika waina kushika cino cindi!”
and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”
11 Ici calikuba cishikunkamanisha cakutanguna Yesu ncalensa mumunshi wa Kana mucimpansha ca Galileya nkwalalesha bulemu bwakendi, neco beshikwiya bakendi balamushoma.
This beginning of his signs Yeshua [Salvation] did in Cana of Galilee [District, Circuit], and revealed his glory; and his disciples trusted in him.
12 Panyuma pakendi Yesu walaya ku Kapenao, pamo ne banyina ne bakwabo ne beshikwiya bakendi, nkobalakekala kwamasuba ang'ana.
After this, he went down to Capernaum [Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion], he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
13 Cindi ca kusekelela Pasika wa Bayuda calaba pepi, Yesu walanyamuka kuya kuYelusalemu.
The Pesac ·Passover· in Judah [Praised] was at hand, and Yeshua [Salvation] went up to Jerusalem [City of peace].
14 Kopeloko walengila mulubuwa lwa Ng'anda ya Lesa walakacana bantu balolishinga ng'ombe, mbelele ne nkulimba. Kayi nabambi kabali bekala pa bipuna kabashintana mali.
He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15 Popelapo walapanga ciswepu ca loshi ne kutatika kubatandanyina pansa bonse, pamo ne ngombe, ne mbelele shabo shonse. walawisha matebulu a bantu balikushintana mali ne mali alamwaikila panshi mbwee.
He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables.
16 Kayi walambila balikulisha nkulimba eti, “Bipulisheni pansa, mutaisandula Ng'anda ya Bata kuba ya kwinshilamo makwebo.”
To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make 'Avi ·my Father·’s house a marketplace!”
17 Beshikwiya balanuka Mabala alambangeti, “Kulibenga kwakame mung'anda yenu kulyeti mulilo ulabangilinga mukati mwakame.”
(His disciples later remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”)
18 Popelapo bamakulene ba Bayuda balamwipusheti, “Nicikankamiko cini ncoshi winse kwambeti utuleshe naukute ngofu shakwinsa bintu ibi?”
The Jews [Praisers] therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
19 Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Na mwipwaye Nga'nda ya Lesa ino, nenjame nindiyibake mumasuba atatu.”
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Lino nabo balambeti, “Nga'nda ya Lesa iyi yalamanta byaka makumi ana ne byaka bisanu ne cimo pakuibaka, lino amwe ngamuibaka mumasubowa atatu?”
The Jews [Praisers] therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
21 Nomba Ng'anda ya Lesa njalikwamba Yesu walikuba mubili wakendi.
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 Mpwalapunduka kubafu, beshikwiya bakendi balanuka kwambeti walabambilapo makani awa, neco balashoma Mabala ne maswi ngalamba.
When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they trusted the Scripture, and the word which Yeshua [Salvation] had said.
23 Yesu mpwalikuba mu Yelusalemu pakusekelela kwa Pasika, bantu bangi balamushoma pakubona bikankamisho mbyalensa.
Now when he was in Jerusalem [City of peace] at the Pesac ·Passover·, during the feast, many trusted in his name, observing his signs which he did.
24 Nomba Yesu liya kubashoma, pakwinga walikubenshiba ncebabele bonse.
But Yeshua [Salvation] didn’t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
25 Nkalapembela kwambeti muntu umbi amwambile ncebabele bantu, pakwinga mwine walikwinshiba bili mumyoyo ya bantu.
and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
