⁶ Six big water pot wey dem carve from stone dey stand there, wey di Jew people dey use for washing wey dey make dem clean; every one fit hold twenty go reach thirty gallon. ^a a v6 Every pot fit hold about 20 go reach 30 gallon (75 go reach 115 liter) — na big big pot dem be.

⁷ Jesus tell dem say, “Fill di pots with water,” so dem fill dem reach mouth. ⁸ E tell dem say, “Draw small comot now, carry am go give di oga wey dey head di serving.” So dem do am.

⁹ Di oga taste di water wey don turn wine, and e no sabi where e comot from—but di servants wey draw di water sabi. So e call di bridegroom come one side ¹⁰ and tell am say, “Everybody dey serve di sweet wine first, den di one wey no too sweet come after wen di people don drink belleful. But you keep di sweet wine reach dis time.” ¹¹ Jesus do dis first sign for Cana wey dey Galilee. E show im glory, and im disciples believe for am.

¹⁶ E tell di people wey dey sell dove say, “Carry dis tins comot for here! No make my Papa house turn market place.”

¹⁷ Im disciples remember say dem write am say: “Di way wey I take love your house go chop me finish.”

¹⁸ So di Jew people ask am say, “Wetin sign you go show us wey go prove say you fit do dis tins?”

¹⁹ Jesus answer dem say, “Break down dis temple, and for three days I go raise am up again.”
