¹Zvino nezuva retatu kwakava nemuchato muKana yeGarirea; namai vaJesu vakange varipo.

¹And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

²NaJesuwo wakange akokwa pamwe nevadzidzi vake kumuchato.

²and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;

³Waini yakati ichishaikwa, mai vaJesu vakati kwaari: Havana waini.

³and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, `Wine they have not;`

⁴Jesu akati kwavari: Mukadzi, ndinei newe? Nguva yangu haisati yasvika.

⁴Jesus saith to her, `What — to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.`

⁵Mai vake vakati kuvaranda: Chipi nechipi chaanokuudzai, itai.

⁵His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to you — do.`

⁶Zvino kwakange kwakaiswapo zvirongo zvitanhatu zvemabwe semanatsiro emaJudha, chimwe nechimwe chaipinda zviyero zviviri kana zvitatu.

⁶And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

⁷Jesu akati kwavari: Zadzai zvirongo nemvura. Vakazvizadza kusvikira pamuromo.

⁷Jesus saith to them, `Fill the water-jugs with water;` and they filled them — unto the brim;

⁸Ndokubva ati kwavari: Cherai ikozvino, mutakurire kumubati wechikafu. Vakazvitakura.

⁸and he saith to them, `Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;` and they bare.

⁹Mubati wechikafu wakati aravira mvura ikava waini, asingazivi kwainobva (asi varanda vakange vachera mvura vaiziva), mubati wechikafu akadana muwani,

⁹And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

¹⁰ndokuti kwaari: Munhu umwe neumwe pakutanga unopa waini yakanaka, kana vanyatsomwa, isina kunyatsonaka; iwe wachengeta waini yakanaka kusvikira zvino.

¹⁰and saith to him, `Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.`

¹¹Uku kutanga kwezviratidzo kwakaita Jesu paKana yeGarirea, akaratidza kubwinya kwake; vadzidzi vake vakatenda kwaari.

¹¹This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

¹²Shure kweizvozvo wakaburukira Kapenaume, iye, namai vake, nevanin'ina vake, nevadzidzi vake; vakagarako mazuva asiri mazvinji.

¹²after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

¹³Zvino pasika yevaJudha yakange yaswedera, Jesu ndokukwira kuJerusarema.

¹³And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

¹⁴Akawanawo mutembere avo vanotengesa nzombe nemakwai nenjiva, nevatsinhanisi vemari vagere.

¹⁴and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

¹⁵Zvino wakati aita tyava yerwonzi, akavadzinga vose mutembere, nemakwai nemombe; akateura mari yevatsinhanisi, ndokupidigura matafura.

¹⁵and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

¹⁶Akati kune vaitengesa njiva: Bvisai zvinhu izvi pano; musaita imba yaBaba vangu imba yekutengeserana.

¹⁶and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.`

¹⁷Vadzidzi vake ndokurangarira kuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Kushingairira imba yenyu kwandidya kukandipedza.

¹⁷And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;`

¹⁸Naizvozvo vaJudha vakapindura, vakati kwaari: Unotiratidza chiratidzo chei, chekuti unoita zvinhu izvi?

¹⁸the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?`

¹⁹Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Pazai tembere iyi, uye mumazuva matatu ndichaimutsa.

¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them, `Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.`

²⁰Naizvozvo vaJudha vakati: Makore makumi mana nematanhatu tembere iyi ichivakwa, zvino iwe ungaimutsa nemazuva matatu here?

²⁰The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?`

²¹Asi iye waireva zvetembere yemuviri wake.

²¹but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;

²²Naizvozvo wakati amuka kuvakafa, vadzidzi vake vakarangarira kuti wakange areva izvi kwavari; ndokutenda magwaro, neshoko Jesu rakange areva.

²²when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

²³Zvino wakati ava muJerusarema papasika, pamutambo, vazhinji vakatenda kuzita rake pavakaona zviratidzo zvaaiita.

²³And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

²⁴Asi Jesu pachake haana kuzvikumikidza kwavari, nekuti wakange achivaziva vose.

²⁴and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all [men],

²⁵Uye nekuti wakange asingatsvaki kuti ani nani apupure zvemunhu; nekuti wakange achiziva pachake zvakange zviri mumunhu.

²⁵and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.
