1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
1Siku ya tatu kulikuwa na arusi mjini Kana, mkoani Galilaya. Mama yake Yesu alikuwapo,
2and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
2naye Yesu alikuwa amealikwa arusini pamoja na wanafunzi wake.
3When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
3Divai ilipokwisha, mama yake akamwambia, “Hawana divai!”
4“Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
4Yesu akamjibu, “Mama, usiniambie la kufanya. Saa yangu bado.”
5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
5Hapo mama yake akawaambia watumishi, “Lolote atakalowaambieni, fanyeni.”
6Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.
6Hapo palikuwa na mitungi sita ya mawe, ambayo kila mmoja uliweza kuchukua kiasi cha madebe mawili au matatu. Ilikuwa imewekwa hapo kufuatana na desturi ya Kiyahudi ya kutawadha.
7Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
7Yesu akawaambia, “Ijazeni mitungi hiyo maji.” Nao wakaijaza mpaka juu.
8“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,
8Kisha akawaambia, “Sasa choteni mkampelekee mkuu wa karamu.”
9and 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
9Mkuu wa karamu alipoonja hayo maji, kumbe yalikuwa yamegeuka kuwa divai. Yeye hakujua ilikotoka, (lakini wale watumishi waliochota maji walijua). Mkuu wa karamu akamwita bwana arusi,
10and 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!”
10akamwambia, “Kila mtu huandaa divai nzuri kwanza hata wakisha tosheka huandaa ile hafifu. Lakini wewe umeiweka divai nzuri mpaka sasa!”
11Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
11Yesu alifanya ishara hii ya kwanza huko Kana, Galilaya, akaonyesha utukufu wake; nao wanafunzi wake wakamwamini.
12After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
12Baada ya hayo, Yesu alishuka pamoja na mama yake, ndugu zake na wanafunzi wake, wakaenda Kafarnaumu ambako walikaa kwa siku chache.
13When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
13Sikukuu ya Wayahudi ya Pasaka ilikuwa imekaribia; hivyo Yesu akaenda Yerusalemu.
14In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
14Hekaluni aliwakuta watu wakiuza ng'ombe, kondoo na njiwa, na wavunja fedha walikuwa wamekaa kwenye meza zao.
15So 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.
15Akatengeneza mjeledi wa kamba, akawafukuza wote nje ya Hekalu pamoja na kondoo na ng'ombe wao, akazimwaga sarafu za wenye kuvunja fedha na kupindua meza zao.
16To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”
16Akawaambia wale waliokuwa wanauza njiwa, “Ondoeni vitu hivi hapa. Msiifanye nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa soko!”
17His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”
17Wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka kwamba Maandiko yasema: “Upendo wangu kwa nyumba yako waniua.”
18On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
18Baadhi ya Wayahudi wakamwuliza Yesu, “Utafanya muujiza gani kuonyesha kwamba unayo haki kufanya mambo haya?”
19Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
19Yesu akawaambia, “Vunjeni Hekalu hili, nami nitalijenga kwa siku tatu.”
20“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
20Hapo Wayahudi wakasema, “Hekalu hili lilijengwa kwa muda wa miaka arobaini na sita. Je, wewe utalijenga kwa siku tatu?”
21But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
21Lakini Yesu alikuwa anaongea juu ya Hekalu ambalo ni mwili wake.
22After 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.
22Basi, alipofufuliwa kutoka wafu, wanafunzi wake walikumbuka kwamba alikuwa amesema hayo, wakaamini Maandiko Matakatifu na yale maneno aliyokuwa akisema Yesu.
23While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.
23Yesu alipokuwa Yerusalemu kwa sikukuu ya Pasaka, watu wengi walimwamini walipoona ishara alizozifanya.
24But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.
24Lakini Yesu hakuwa na imani nao kwa sababu aliwajua wote.
25He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
25Hakuhitaji kuambiwa chochote juu ya watu, maana aliyajua barabara mambo yote yaliyomo mioyoni mwao.
