< Yohana 2 >

1 Siku ya tatu kulikuwa na arusi katika mji wa Kana ya Galilaya, naye mama yake Yesu alikuwepo pale.
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Yahushua was there:
2 Yesu pamoja na wanafunzi wake walikuwa wamealikwa arusini pia.
And both Yahushua was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 Divai ilipokwisha, mama yake Yesu akamwambia, “Wameishiwa na divai.”
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Yahushua saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Yesu akamwambia, “Mwanamke, nina nini nawe? Saa yangu haijawadia.”
Yahushua saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 Mama yake akawaambia wale watumishi, “Lolote atakalowaambia, fanyeni.”
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 Basi ilikuwepo mitungi sita ya kuhifadhia maji iliyotengenezwa kwa mawe kwa ajili ya kujitakasa kwa desturi ya Kiyahudi; kila mtungi ungeweza kuchukua vipipa viwili au vitatu.
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Yesu akawaambia wale watumishi, “Ijazeni hiyo mitungi maji.” Nao wakaijaza ile mitungi mpaka juu.
Yahushua saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 Kisha akawaambia, “Sasa choteni hayo maji kidogo, mpelekeeni mkuu wa meza.” Hivyo wakachota, wakampelekea.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 Yule mkuu wa meza akayaonja yale maji ambayo yalikuwa yamebadilika kuwa divai. Hakujua divai hiyo ilikotoka ingawa wale watumishi waliochota yale maji wao walifahamu. Basi akamwita bwana arusi kando
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew; ) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 akamwambia, “Watu wote hutoa kwanza divai nzuri, kisha huleta ile divai hafifu wageni wakisha kunywa vya kutosha, lakini wewe umeiweka ile nzuri kupita zote mpaka sasa.”
And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 Huu, ndio uliokuwa muujiza wa kwanza Yesu aliofanya Kana ya Galilaya. Hivyo Yesu alidhihirisha utukufu wake, nao wanafunzi wake wakamwamini.
This beginning of miracles did Yahushua in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 Baada ya hayo, Yesu pamoja na mama yake, ndugu zake na wanafunzi wake, walishuka mpaka Kapernaumu, wakakaa huko siku chache.
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
13 Ilipokaribia wakati wa Pasaka ya Wayahudi, Yesu alipanda kwenda Yerusalemu.
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Yahushua went up to Jerusalem,
14 Huko Hekaluni aliwakuta watu wakiuza ngʼombe, kondoo na njiwa, nao wengine walikuwa wameketi mezani wakibadili fedha.
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 Akatengeneza mjeledi kutokana na kamba, akawafukuza wote kutoka kwenye eneo la Hekalu, pamoja na kondoo na ngʼombe. Akazipindua meza za wale wabadili fedha na kuzimwaga fedha zao.
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 Akawaambia wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa, “Waondoeni hapa! Mnathubutuje kuifanya nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa mahali pa biashara?”
And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
17 Wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka kuwa imeandikwa: “Wivu wa nyumba yako utanila.”
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Ndipo Wayahudi wakamuuliza, “Unaweza kutuonyesha ishara gani ili kuthibitisha mamlaka uliyo nayo ya kufanya mambo haya?”
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Yesu akawajibu, “Libomoeni hili Hekalu, nami nitalijenga tena kwa siku tatu!”
Yahushua answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Wale Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Hekalu hili lilijengwa kwa muda wa miaka arobaini na sita, nawe wasema utalijenga kwa siku tatu?”
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 Lakini yeye Hekalu alilozungumzia ni mwili wake.
But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 Baada ya kufufuliwa kutoka kwa wafu, wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka yale aliyokuwa amesema. Ndipo wakayaamini Maandiko na yale maneno Yesu aliyokuwa amesema.
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Yahushua had said.
23 Ikawa Yesu alipokuwa Yerusalemu kwenye Sikukuu ya Pasaka, watu wengi waliona ishara na miujiza aliyokuwa akifanya, wakaamini katika jina lake.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24 Lakini Yesu hakujiaminisha kwao kwa sababu aliwajua wanadamu wote.
But Yahushua did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
25 Hakuhitaji ushuhuda wa mtu yeyote kuhusu mtu, kwa kuwa alijua yote yaliyokuwa moyoni mwa mtu.
And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
