2

1 Ñaari fan gannaaw loolu ag céet am ca dëkku Kana ca diiwaanu Galile. Yaayu Yeesu teewe woon na ko.
1The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Woo woon nañu it Yeesu ca céet ga ak ay taalibeem.
2Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.
3 Ca biir xew wa, biiñ ba daldi jeex. Yaayu Yeesu ne ko: «Amatuñu biiñ.»
3When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 Yeesu ne: «Soxna si, Loo ma bëggal? Ndaxte sama waxtu jotagul.»
4Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 Yaayam daldi ne surga ya: «Defleen lépp lu mu leen wax.»
5His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
6 Foofa amoon na fa juróom benni ndaa yu ñu yett ci doj, yu Yawut ya daan jëfandikoo ngir seen sangu set. Ndaa lu nekk man na def daanaka téeméeri liitar.
6Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
7 Yeesu ne surga ya: «Duyleen ndaa yi.» Ñu duy leen, ba ñu fees bay rembat.
7Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” They filled them up to the brim.
8 Noonu Yeesu ne leen: «Tanqleen ci léegi, yót ko njiitu xew wi.» Ñu daldi ko ciy yót.
8He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
9 Ki jiite xew wa ñam ndox, ma Yeesu soppi biiñ. Xamul woon fu biiñ booba jóge, waaye surga ya tanqoon ndox ma, ñoom xamoon nañu ko. Naka noonu mu woo boroom céet ga ne ko:
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,
10 «Ci xew yépp, naan gu neex gi lañuy jëkke. Bu nit ñi doyalee, ñu sog a génne ga ca des. Waaye yaw dangaa dencoon gi gën a neex ba nëgëni.»
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!”
11 Firnde bii ame ca Kana, ca diiwaanu Galile, moo doon kéemaan gi Yeesu jëkk a def. Ci noonu la wonee màggaayam te ay taalibeem gëm nañu ko.
11This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 Bi loolu weesoo, mu ànd ak yaayam, ay rakkam ak i taalibeem, dem dëkku Kapernawum. Waaye yàgguñu fa.
12After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
13 Màggalu Yawut, gi ñuy wax bésu Jéggi ba, mu ngi doon jubsi. Yeesu dem Yerusalem,
13The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 dugg ca kër Yàlla ga. Bi mu fa demee, fekk na ca ëtt ba ay jaaykati nag ak yu xar ak yu pitax, ak weccikatu xaalis ya toog.
14He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15 Noonu Yeesu ràbb ab yar, daldi leen koy dàqe, ngir ñu génn ëttu kër Yàlla ga, ñoom ak xar ya ak nag ya. Mu tasaare xaalisu weccikat ya, daaneel taabal ya,
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.
16 daldi ne jaaykati pitax ya: «Jëleleen fi lii! Sama kër Baay, buleen ko def marse!»
16To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
17 Taalibeem ya fàttaliku Mbind mii: «Cawarte gi ma am ci sa kër, mu ngi mel ni taal buy tàkk ci sama biir.»
17His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
18 Noonu Yawut ya ne ko: «Ban firnde nga nuy won ngir dëggal ne, am nga sañ-sañu def lii nga def?»
18The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
19 Yeesu tontu leen: «Daaneel-leen kër Yàlla gii, ma daldi koy yékkati ci ñetti fan.»
19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Ñu ne ko: «Nga ne kër Yàlla, gii ñu tabax ci ñeent-fukki at ak juróom benn, man nga koo yékkati ci ñetti fan!»
20The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
21 Waaye kër Yàlla, gi Yeesu doon wax, nekkul woon ab tabax, aw yaramam ci boppam moo ko taxoon di wax.
21But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 Gannaaw ga nag, bi Yeesu deeyee ba dekki, la taalibeem ya fàttaliku li mu waxoon, daldi gëm Mbind mi ak wax, ja leen Yeesu waxoon.
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.
23 Bi Yeesu nekkee Yerusalem ci màggalu bésu Jéggi ba, ñu bare gis kéemaan, yi mu doon def, daldi gëm ci turam.
23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
24 Waaye Yeesu wóoluwu leen woon, ndaxte xamoon na leen ñoom ñépp,
24But Jesus didn’t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
25 te it soxlawul ñu koy xamal dara ci nit, ndaxte moom ci boppam xam na xolu nit.
25and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
