2 Ngelilanga lesitsatfu kwaba nelidzili lemshado eKhana yaseGalile, namake waJesu bekalapho. 2 Jesu nebafundzi bakhe nabo bebamenyiwe kulelidzili.
3 Kwatsi naseliphela liwayini, make waJesu watsi kuye: “Sebete liwayini.” 4 Jesu watsi kuye: “Loku kusihluphe ngani tsine?* Sikhatsi sami sisengakefiki.” 5 Make wakhe watjela tinceku lebetilapho watsi: “Nibokwenta konkhe lanitjela kona.” 6 Bekunetimbita temanti letisitfupha lebetakhiwe ngelitje futsi betibekwe lapho njengobe bekusho lisiko lemaJuda lekuhlanjululwa,+ ngayinye beyingetfwala emalitha langaba ngu-44 kuya kulangu-66.* 7 Jesu watsi kuletinceku: “Gcwalisani letimbita ngemanti.” Tatigcwalisa tatsi nswi. 8 Wase utsi kuto: “Sale niwakha bese niwamikisa kumcondzisi welidzili.” Ngako tawamikisa. 9 Ngesikhatsi lomcondzisi eva lamanti lebesekaguculwe aba liwayini, wabita umkhwenyane njengobe bekangati kutsi leliwayini livela kuphi (kodvwa letinceku betati), 10 futsi watsi kuye: “Bonkhe labanye bantfu bacale bakhiphe liwayini lelimnandzi, bese kutsi lapho bantfu sebanatse benela bakhiphe lelingasimnandzi. Wena ugcine liwayini lelimnandzi kwaze kwaba ngunyalo.” 11 Jesu wenta loku eKhana yaseGalile. Lesi kwaba simangaliso sakhe sekucala, futsi inkhatimulo yakhe yabonakala,+ nebafundzi bakhe bamkholwa.
12 Ngemuva kwaloko, yena namake wakhe, nabomnakabo+ kanye nebafundzi bakhe behlela eKhaphanawume,+ kodvwa abazange bahlale sikhatsi lesidze.
13 LiPhasika+ lemaJuda beselisondzela, ngako Jesu wenyukela eJerusalema. 14 Wefika ethempelini wakhandza bantfu lebebatsengisa tinkhomo, timvu nematuba+ kanye nebashintji betimali, bahleti etihlalweni tabo. 15 Ngemuva kwekweluka siswebhu ngetintsambo, wacosha letimvu netinkhomo ethempelini, kanye nalabo lebebatitsengisa. Waphindze wacitsa imali yebashintji betimali, waketula nematafula abo.+ 16 Watsi kulabo lebebatsengisa ematuba: “Susani letintfo lapha! Indlu yaBabe ningayenti ibe yindlu yekutsengiselana!”*+ 17 Bafundzi bakhe bakhumbula kutsi bekubhaliwe kwatsiwa: “Kushisekela indlu yakho kuvutsa njengemlilo ngekhatsi kimi.”+
18 Ngako emaJuda atsi kuye: “Sentele simangaliso+ kuze ufakazele kutsi uneligunya lekwenta letintfo.” 19 Jesu wawaphendvula watsi: “Dzilitani lelithempeli, mine ngitalivusa ngemalanga lamatsatfu.”+ 20 LamaJuda atsi: “Lelithempeli lakhiwa iminyaka lengu-46, manje wena utsi ungalivusa ngemalanga lamatsatfu?” 21 Kodvwa yena bekakhuluma ngelithempeli lelingumtimba wakhe.+ 22 Watsi nasekavusiwe ekufeni, bafundzi bakhe bakhumbula kutsi bekahlale akusho loko,+ ngako bakukholwa lobekushiwo yimibhalo kanye naloko lobekushiwo nguJesu.
23 Ngesikhatsi asemkhosini weliPhasika eJerusalema, bantfu labanyenti bamkholwa nababona timangaliso lebekatenta. 24 Kodvwa Jesu akazange abetsembe kakhulu ngobe bekabati bantfu, 25 futsi bekangadzingi kutsi lotsite amtjele ngabo, ngobe bekalati lingekhatsi lemuntfu.+
