1
Na siku ya tatu palikuwa na arusi huko Kana, mji wa Galilaya; naye mama yake Yesu alikuwapo.
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2
Yesu naye alikuwa amealikwa arusini pamoja na wanafunzi wake.
and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3
Hata divai ilipowatindikia, mamaye Yesu akamwambia, Hawana divai.
When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
4
Yesu akamwambia, Mama, tuna nini mimi nawe? Saa yangu haijawadia.
“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5
Mamaye akawaambia watumishi, Lo lote atakalowaambia, fanyeni.
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
6
Basi kulikuwako huko mabalasi sita ya mawe, nayo yamewekwa huko kwa desturi ya Wayahudi ya kutawadha, kila moja lapata kadiri ya nzio mbili tatu.
Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.
7
Yesu akawaambia, Jalizeni mabalasi maji. Nao wakayajaliza hata juu.
Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
8
Akawaambia, Sasa tekeni, mkampelekee mkuu wa meza. Wakapeleka.
“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
9
Naye mkuu wa meza alipoyaonja yale maji yaliyopata kuwa divai, (wala asijue ilikotoka, lakini watumishi walijua, wale walioyateka yale maji), yule mkuu wa meza alimwita bwana arusi,
and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10
akamwambia, Kila mtu kwanza huandaa divai iliyo njema; hata watu wakiisha kunywa sana ndipo huleta iliyo dhaifu; wewe umeiweka divai iliyo njema hata sasa.
and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”
11
Mwanzo huo wa ishara Yesu aliufanya huko Kana ya Galilaya, akaudhihirisha utukufu wake, nao wanafunzi wake wakamwamini.
Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
12
Baada ya hayo akashuka mpaka Kapernaumu, yeye na mama yake na ndugu zake na wanafunzi wake; wakakaa huko siku si nyingi.
After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
13
Na Pasaka ya Wayahudi ilikuwa karibu; naye Yesu akakwea mpaka Yerusalemu.
When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14
Akaona pale hekaluni watu waliokuwa wakiuza ng'ombe na kondoo na njiwa, na wenye kuvunja fedha wameketi.
In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
15
Akafanya kikoto cha kambaa, akawatoa wote katika hekalu, na kondoo na ng'ombe; akamwaga fedha za wenye kuvunja fedha, akazipindua meza zao;
So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16
akawaambia wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa, Yaondoeni haya; msiifanye nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa nyumba ya biashara.
To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
17
Wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka ya kuwa imeandikwa, Wivu wa nyumba yako utanila.
His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
18
Basi Wayahudi wakajibu, wakamwambia, Ni ishara gani utuonyeshayo, kwamba unafanya haya?
On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
19
Yesu akajibu, akawaambia, Livunjeni hekalu hili, nami katika siku tatu nitalisimamisha.
Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
20
Basi Wayahudi wakasema, Hekalu hili lilijengwa katika muda wa miaka arobaini na sita, nawe utalisimamisha katika siku tatu?
“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
21
Lakini yeye alinena habari za hekalu la mwili wake.
But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
22
Basi alipofufuka katika wafu, wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka ya kuwa alisema hivi, wakaliamini lile andiko na lile neno alilolinena Yesu.
After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
23
Hata alipokuwapo Yerusalemu kwenye sikukuu wakati wa Pasaka, watu wengi waliamini jina lake, walipoziona ishara zake alizozifanya.
While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.
24
Lakini Yesu hakujiaminisha kwao; kwa kuwa yeye aliwajua wote;
But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.
25
na kwa sababu hakuwa na haja ya mtu kushuhudia habari za mwanadamu; kwa maana yeye mwenyewe alijua yaliyomo ndani ya mwanadamu.
He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
