UJesu Uphendula Amanzi Abe Liwayini

1 Ngosuku lwesithathu kwaba khona umthimba eKhana laseGalile. Unina kaJesu wayekhona, 2 loJesu labafundi bakhe labo babenxusiwe emthimbeni. 3 Kwathi iwayini seliphelile unina kaJesu wathi kuye, "Sebephelelwe liwayini."

4 UJesu waphendula wathi, "Mama, mina lawe singena njani kulokho na? Isikhathi sami kasikafiki."

5 Unina wasesithi ezincekwini, "Libokwenza loba kuyini azalitshela khona."

6 Eduze kwalapho kwakumi imbiza zamatshe eziyisithupha, uhlobo lolo amaJuda ayelusebenzisa enkonzweni yokuzihlambulula, imbiza yinye ingagcwala amalitha alikhulu kusiya ekhulwini elilamatshumi amahlanu.

7 UJesu wathi ezincekwini, "Zigcwaliseni amanzi imbiza lezi"; ngakho bazigcwalisa zathi phamu.

8 Wasezitshela wathi, "Khanini-ke liphe umphathi wedili."

Benza njalo, 9 umphathi wedili wahubula wawanambitha amanzi ayesephendulwe abaliwayini. Kakwazanga ukuthi lavela ngaphi, kodwa izinceku ezaziwakhile amanzi zazisazi. Wasebizela umyeni eceleni 10 wathi, "Wonke umuntu uletha iwayini elimnandi kuqala, kuthi nxa izethekeli sezinathe kakhulu abesekhupha elibi; kodwa wena ugodle elimnandi kuze kube khathesi."

11 Lo waba ngumangaliso wakhe wokuqala, uJesu awenza eKhana laseGalile. Wabonakalisa kanjalo inkazimulo yakhe, abafundi bakhe basebebeka ukholo lwabo kuye.
