Yohana 2
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Siku ya tatu kulikuwa na arusi mjini Kana, mkoani Galilaya. Mama yake Yesu alikuwapo,
1And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
2naye Yesu alikuwa amealikwa arusini pamoja na wanafunzi wake.
2And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3Divai ilipokwisha, mama yake akamwambia, “Hawana divai!”
3And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.
4Yesu akamjibu, “Mama, usiniambie la kufanya. Saa yangu bado.”
4And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.
5Hapo mama yake akawaambia watumishi, “Lolote atakalowaambieni, fanyeni.”
5His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.
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.
6Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.
7Yesu akawaambia, “Ijazeni mitungi hiyo maji.” Nao wakaijaza mpaka juu.
7Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8Kisha akawaambia, “Sasa choteni mkampelekee mkuu wa karamu.”
8And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.
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,
9And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,
10akamwambia, “Kila mtu huandaa divai nzuri kwanza hata wakisha tosheka huandaa ile hafifu. Lakini wewe umeiweka divai nzuri mpaka sasa!”
10And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11Yesu alifanya ishara hii ya kwanza huko Kana, Galilaya, akaonyesha utukufu wake; nao wanafunzi wake wakamwamini.
11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12Baada ya hayo, Yesu alishuka pamoja na mama yake, ndugu zake na wanafunzi wake, wakaenda Kafarnaumu ambako walikaa kwa siku chache.
12After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.
13Sikukuu ya Wayahudi ya Pasaka ilikuwa imekaribia; hivyo Yesu akaenda Yerusalemu.
13And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14Hekaluni aliwakuta watu wakiuza ng'ombe, kondoo na njiwa, na wavunja fedha walikuwa wamekaa kwenye meza zao.
14And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
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.
15And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
16Akawaambia wale waliokuwa wanauza njiwa, “Ondoeni vitu hivi hapa. Msiifanye nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa soko!”
16And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
17Wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka kwamba Maandiko yasema: “Upendo wangu kwa nyumba yako waniua.”
17And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
18Baadhi ya Wayahudi wakamwuliza Yesu, “Utafanya muujiza gani kuonyesha kwamba unayo haki kufanya mambo haya?”
18The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
19Yesu akawaambia, “Vunjeni Hekalu hili, nami nitalijenga kwa siku tatu.”
19Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20Hapo Wayahudi wakasema, “Hekalu hili lilijengwa kwa muda wa miaka arobaini na sita. Je, wewe utalijenga kwa siku tatu?”
20The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
21Lakini Yesu alikuwa anaongea juu ya Hekalu ambalo ni mwili wake.
21But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22Basi, alipofufuliwa kutoka wafu, wanafunzi wake walikumbuka kwamba alikuwa amesema hayo, wakaamini Maandiko Matakatifu na yale maneno aliyokuwa akisema Yesu.
22When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.
23Yesu alipokuwa Yerusalemu kwa sikukuu ya Pasaka, watu wengi walimwamini walipoona ishara alizozifanya.
23Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.
24Lakini Yesu hakuwa na imani nao kwa sababu aliwajua wote.
24But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,
25Hakuhitaji kuambiwa chochote juu ya watu, maana aliyajua barabara mambo yote yaliyomo mioyoni mwao.
25And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.
