Context

4Yesu akamwambia, “Mwanamke, nina nini nawe? Saa yangu haijawadia.” 5Mama yake akawaambia wale watumishi, “Lolote atakalowaambia, fanyeni.” 6Basi ilikuwepo mitungi sita ya kuhifadhia maji iliyotengenezwa kwa mawe kwa ajili ya kujitakasa kwa desturi ya Kiyahudi; kila mtungi ungeweza kuchukua vipipa viwili au vitatu.* 7Yesu akawaambia wale watumishi, “Ijazeni hiyo mitungi maji.” Nao wakaijaza ile mitungi mpaka juu. 8Kisha akawaambia, “Sasa choteni hayo maji kidogo, mpelekeeni mkuu wa meza.” Hivyo wakachota, wakampelekea.
