< Yohane 2 >

1 Ne nnansa so, nnipa bi hyiaa ayeforɔ wɔ Kana a ɛwɔ Galilea asase so. Yesu maame kɔɔ saa ayeforɔhyia no bi.
On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and Jesus' mother was there.
2 Wɔtoo nsa frɛɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nso kɔɔ hɔ bi.
Now both Jesus and His disciples had been invited to the wedding.
3 Wɔgu so regye wɔn ani no, ayeforɔ no ase nsã saeɛ maa Yesu maame kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wɔn nsã a wɔrenom no asa.”
So when the wine had given out, Jesus' mother says to Him, “They don't have any wine!”
4 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ne maame sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wopɛsɛ me yɛ, me berɛ nnya nnuruiɛ.”
Jesus says to her: “What is that to you and me, woman? My time has not yet come.”
5 Ne maame ka kyerɛɛ asomfoɔ no sɛ, “Biribiara a ɔbɛka sɛ monyɛ no, monyɛ.”
His mother says to the servants, “Do whatever He may tell you.”
6 Na aboɔ nsuhina nsia sisi hɔ; yeinom mu na na Yudafoɔ de nsuo gu de hohoro wɔn ho amanneɛ kwan so. Na suhina biara tumi fa nsuo galɔn aduasa.
(Now there were six stone waterpots set there, according to the purification rites of the Jews, containing 20 or 30 gallons each.)
7 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ asomfoɔ no sɛ, “Momfa nsuo nhyehyɛ nhina no ma ma.” Wɔde nsuo hyɛɛ no ma ma.
Jesus says to them, “Fill the pots with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monsa bi nkɔma onipa a ayeforɔ no ho ntotoeɛ hyɛ ne nsa no.”
So He says to them, “Now, draw some out and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So they took it.
9 Deɛ ayeforɔ no ho ntotoeɛ hyɛ ne nsa no kaa nsuo no a adane nsã no hwɛeɛ. Na ɔnnim baabi a na nsã no firi, nanso na asomfoɔ no deɛ, wɔnim. Ɔfrɛɛ ayeforɔkunu no
Well, when the master of ceremonies tasted the water that had become wine—he did not know where it came from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew—he calls the bridegroom
10 ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Saa nsã yi yɛ nsã pa. Wonte sɛ afoforɔ a wɔaka no. Obiara a ɔto ɛpono de nsã pa di ɛkan ba wɔ nʼapontoɔ ase, na akyire yi, ɔde nsã a ɛnni mu aba. Nanso, wo deɛ, wode nsã pa no atwa toɔ!”
and says to him: “Everybody serves the good wine first, then, when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”
11 Saa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Yesu yɛɛ wɔ Kana a ɛwɔ Galilea asase so no ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛdi ɛkan a ɔyɛɛ wɔ badwam de kyerɛɛ sɛ ne tumi firi ɔsoro. Ɛmaa nʼasuafoɔ no nso gyee no dii sɛ, ampa ara, ɔno ne Agyenkwa no.
This, the first of the miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed into Him.
12 Ayeforɔhyia no akyi, ɔne ne maame ne ne nuanom ne nʼasuafoɔ no dii nna kakra wɔ Kapernaum.
After this He went down to Capernaum—He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples—but they did not stay there many days.
13 Esiane sɛ na Yudafoɔ Twam Afahyɛ no rebɛduru no enti, Yesu kɔɔ Yerusalem.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 Ɔduruu asɔredan no mu hɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ adwadifoɔ bi nso tete wɔn apono akyi resesa sika.
And in the Temple He found people selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the moneychangers at work.
15 Yesu faa ntampehoma, yɛɛ no mpire, de pamoo sikasesafoɔ no ne wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie no firii asɔredan mu hɔ, kaa wɔn apono guiɛ maa wɔn sika a wɔresesa no nyinaa bɔ pansamee.
When He had made a scourge out of cords, He drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and as for the moneychangers, He overturned the tables and scattered the coins.
16 Afei, ɔkɔɔ wɔn a wɔtɔn mmorɔnoma no so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monsesa wɔn mfiri ha nkɔ ntɛm! Mommfa mʼAgya fie nyɛ adwadibea!”
And to the dove-sellers He said: “Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father's House into a marketplace!”
17 Asuafoɔ no kaa sɛ, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu sɛ, “Wo fie yiedie ho dadwene ahyɛ me so.”
Then His disciples remembered that it stands written, “Zeal for Your House consumes me.”
18 Afei, Yudafoɔ mpanin no bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Tumi bɛn na wowɔ a enti wopamoo nnipa no? Yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi fa di adanseɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa wo saa tumi no.”
So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do you show us, since you do these things?”
19 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mate deɛ moaka no. Nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a mede bɛdi adanseɛ ara ne sɛ, mommubu asɔredan yi ngu na mede nnansa bɛsi bio.”
Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it.”
20 Yudafoɔ mpanin no tee asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no, wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Asɔredan a wɔde mfeɛ aduanan nsia siiɛ no, na wode nnansa bɛtumi asi?”
So the Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it in three days?!”
21 Nanso, Yesu deɛ, na ɔde ɔno ankasa ne onipadua na ɛreyɛ asɔredan no mfatoho,
But He was speaking about the temple of His body.
22 Yesu wusɔreɛ no akyi ansa na asuafoɔ no kaee asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no. Yei ma wɔgyee Atwerɛsɛm ne nsɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no diiɛ.
Therefore, when He was raised from among the dead His disciples remembered that He had said this; so they believed the Scripture, even the word that Jesus had spoken.
23 Ɛberɛ a Twam Afahyɛ no duruiɛ a na Yesu wɔ Yerusalem no, nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ahodoɔ bebree maa nnipa gyee no diiɛ.
Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed into His name, observing the signs that He was doing.
24 Nanso, Yesu amfa ne ho anto wɔn so, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim sɛdeɛ nnipa suban te.
But as for Jesus Himself, He did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men
25 Na ɔnhia onipa adanseɛ a ɔbɛdi afa onipa ho, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim deɛ ɛwɔ onipa mu.
and that He had no need that anyone should testify about man, because He Himself knew what was in man.
