John 2
1 Mu lumbu kintatu, nyengo wu makuela wuba ku Kana mu tsi Ngalili. Ngudi Yesu yiba kuna.
Three days after, there was a marriage in Cana, of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Yesu ayi minlonguki miandi mamvawu batumusu ku nyengo beni wu makuela.
Jesus, also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.
3 Vayi zimbukila vinu kimeni. Buna ngudi Yesu yiyiza kunkamba: —Basiedi diaka ayi vinu ko.
The wine falling short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.
4 Yesu wumvutudila: —A nketo, mambu mbi tuidi beto yaku e? Thanguꞌama yifueni ko.
Jesus answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come.
5 Buna ngudi andi wukamba bisadi ti: —Luvanga mambu moso ka kuiza lukambi.
His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you.
6 Mimvungu minsambanu miba vana mu diambu di lundilanga nlangu, mitulu vana boso bubela kifu ki Bayuda mu kukivedisanga. Mvungu wumosi wulenda kota nduka-nduka khatitsika yi dingungulu di nlangu.
Now there were six water pots of stone, containing two or three baths each, placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing.
7 Buna Yesu wukamba bisadi: —Wesanu nlangu mu mimvungu. Buna bawesa mimvungu beni nate vana ntu.
Jesus said to them, Fill the pots with water. And they filled them to the brim.
8 Yesu wubuela kuba kamba diaka: —Buabu bonganu fioti ayi lunata fiawu kuidi nkulutu wu nyengo. Bawu bannatina kiawu.
Then he said, Draw, now, and carry to the director of the feast. And they did so.
9 Nkulutu wu nyengo bu babimba nlangu wukituka vinu, kasia zaba ko kuevi kuba vinu beni Vayi bisadi biteka nlangu bizaba. Buna nkulutu wu nyengo wutumisa mu nsualu dibakala diodi dikuela
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 ayi wunkamba: —Woso kuandi mutu weta tuama kabudila batu vinu kimboti; bosi ku nzimunina wunkabulanga vinu kidekuka, batu bu bameni nua bufuana. Vayi ngeyo kimboti kiawu lundidingi nate thangu yayi.
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 Kiaki kiawu kumu kitheti mu bikumu bivanga Yesu; kiawu kivangimina ku Kana mu tsi yi Ngalili. Kuna kamonisa nkemboꞌandi ayi minlonguki miandi minwilukila.
This first miracle Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, displaying his glory: and his disciples believed on him.
12 Momo bu mavioka, Yesu wuyenda ku Kafalinawumi va kimosi ayi ngudi andi, ayi bakhomba bandi ayi minlonguki miandi. Ndambu bilumbu kaka bavuandila kuna.
Afterward, he went to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; but they staid not there many days.
13 Pasika buna yeka nduka, Yesu wuyenda ku Yelusalemi.
And the Jewish passover being nigh, Jesus went to Jerusalem;
14 Wumona muna luphangu lu nzo Nzambi minsumbisi mi zingombi, mi mamemi ayi mi mabembi ayi minsienzi mi zimbongo buna mimvuendi.
and finding changers sitting in the temple, and people who sold cattle and sheep, and doves;
15 Buna wubonga minsinga, wuvanga kikoti. Buna wukuka batu boso ku luphangu lu Nzo Nzambi ayi mamemi ayi zingombi, wuloza zimbongo zi minsienzi va tsi ayi wusengubula zimeza.
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 Bosi, wubaluka kuidi minsumbisi mi mabembi, wuba kamba: —Botulanu bima biobi vava! Lubika kitula nzo yi dise diama dizandu!
and he said to them, who sold doves, Take these things hence. Make not my Father's house a house of traffic.
17 Minlonguki miandi mitebuka moyo ti busonama: A Nzambi, luzolo luidi yama mu diambu di nzoꞌaku luawu luela kuphondisa.
(Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture, "My zeal for thy house consumes me.")
18 Bayuda bamvutudila: —A kumu mbi wulenda vanga mu kutumonisa ti bukiedika lulendo luidiyaku luvangila mambu moso momo e?
Therefore, the Jews answered, and said to him, By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things?
19 Yesu wuba kamba: —Tiolumunanu Nzo Nzambi yayi, ndiela kuyitungila mu bilumbu bitatu.
Jesus answering, said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will rear it again in three days.
20 Buna Bayuda batuba: —Mu makumaya ayi mimvu minsambanu nzo Nzambi yayi yitungulu vayi ngeyo mu bilumbu bitatu kuandi fueti buela kuyitungila?
The Jews replied, Forty and six years was this temple in building; and you would rear it in three days?
21 Vayi niandi wuyolukila nzo Nzambi yi nitu andi.
(But, by the temple, he meant his body.)
22 Yesu bu kafuluka mu bafua, minlonguki miandi mitebuka moyo ti wutuba buawu. Buna miwilukila masonuku ayi mambu momo matuba 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 Mu thangu Yesu kaba ku Yelusalemi mu nyengo wu Pasika, batu bawombo bamona bikumu biobi kavanga ayi bawilukila mu dizina diandi.
While he was at Jerusalem, during the feast of the passover, many believed on him, when they saw the miracles which he performed.
24 Vayi yesu kasi kubasila diana ko bila wuzaba batu boso.
But Jesus did not trust himself with them, because he knew them all.
25 Bila kasia ba mfunu ko muingi mutu wunkaka katelama kimbangi mu diambu di mutu wunkaka bila niandi veka wuzaba mambu madi mu mutu.
He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.
