¹Siku ya tatu kulikuwa na arusi mjini Kana, mkoani Galilaya. Mama yake Yesu alikuwapo,

¹The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.

²naye Yesu alikuwa amealikwa arusini pamoja na wanafunzi wake.

²Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.

³Divai ilipokwisha, mama yake akamwambia, "Hawana divai!"

³When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”

⁴Yesu akamjibu, "Mama, usiniambie la kufanya. Saa yangu bado."

⁴Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”

⁵Hapo mama yake akawaambia watumishi, "Lolote atakalowaambieni, fanyeni."

⁵His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”

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 six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes 2 to 3 metretes is about 20 to 30 U. S. Gallons, or 75 to 115 litres. apiece.

⁷Yesu akawaambia, "Ijazeni mitungi hiyo maji." Nao wakaijaza mpaka juu.

⁷Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” They filled them up to the brim.

⁸Kisha akawaambia, "Sasa choteni mkampelekee mkuu wa karamu."

⁸He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took 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,

⁹When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,

¹⁰akamwambia, "Kila mtu huandaa divai nzuri kwanza hata wakisha tosheka huandaa ile hafifu. Lakini wewe umeiweka divai nzuri mpaka sasa!"

¹⁰and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have 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 his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed 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 Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

¹³Sikukuu ya Wayahudi ya Pasaka ilikuwa imekaribia; hivyo Yesu akaenda Yerusalemu.

¹³The Passover 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.

¹⁴He found in the temple those who sold oxen, 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.

¹⁵He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables.

¹⁶Akawaambia wale waliokuwa wanauza njiwa, "Ondoeni vitu hivi hapa. Msiifanye nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa soko!"

¹⁶To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”

¹⁷Wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka kwamba Maandiko yasema: "Upendo wangu kwa nyumba yako waniua."

¹⁷His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.” Psalm 69:9

¹⁸Baadhi ya Wayahudi wakamwuliza Yesu, "Utafanya muujiza gani kuonyesha kwamba unayo haki kufanya mambo haya?"

¹⁸The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

¹⁹Yesu akawaambia, "Vunjeni Hekalu hili, nami nitalijenga kwa siku tatu."

¹⁹Jesus answered 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 therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you 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 raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

²³Yesu alipokuwa Yerusalemu kwa sikukuu ya Pasaka, watu wengi walimwamini walipoona ishara alizozifanya.

²³Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

²⁴Lakini Yesu hakuwa na imani nao kwa sababu aliwajua wote.

²⁴But Jesus didn’t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

²⁵Hakuhitaji kuambiwa chochote juu ya watu, maana aliyajua barabara mambo yote yaliyomo mioyoni mwao.

²⁵and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
