1 A nd on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

وَفِي اليَوْمِ الثّالِثِ، أُقِيْمَ عُرْسٌ فِي بَلْدَةِ قانا فِي إقلِيْمِ الجَلِيلِ. وَكانَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ هُناكَ.

2 A nd Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.

وَقَدْ دُعِيَ أيضاً يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيْذُهُ إلَى العُرْسِ.

3 A nd wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.

وَعِندَما نَفِدَ النَّبيذُ، قالَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ لَهُ: «لَمْ يَعُدْ عِندَهُمْ نَبيذٌ.»

4 J esus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.

فَقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «لِماذا تَأْتِيْنَ إلَيَّ يا أُمِّي؟ لَمْ يَحِنِ الوَقْتُ لِأبْدَأ عَمَلِي بَعْدُ!»

5 H is mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do.

أمّا أُمُّهُ فَقالَتْ لِلخُدّامِ: «افعَلُوا كُلَّ ما يَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ.»

6 N ow there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ سِتَّةُ أحواضٍ حَجَرِيَّةٍ لِلماءِ، يَسْتَخدِمُها اليَهُودُ لِلاغتِسالِ وَفْقاً لِطُقُوسِهِمْ. وَكانَ كُلُّ حَوْضٍ مِنْها يَتَّسِعُ لِثَمانِيْنَ أوْ لِمِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِيْنَ لِتْراً.

7 J esus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ لِلخُدّامِ: «املأُوا الأحواضَ بِالماءِ.» فَمَلأُوها إلَى حافَّتِها.

8 A nd he says to them, Draw out now, and carry to the feast-master. And they carried.

ثُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «وَالآنَ اغرِفُوا مِنْها، وَقَدِّمُوا لِرَئِيْسِ الحَفلِ.» فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ.

9 B ut when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,

فَذاقَ رَئِيْسُ الحَفلِ الماءَ الَّذِي تَحَوَّلَ إلَى نَبيذٍ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعلَمُ مِنْ أيْنَ جاءَ النَّبيذُ، لَكِنَّ الخُدّامَ الَّذِيْنَ غَرَفُوا الماءَ كانُوا يَعلَمُونَ. فَاسْتَدْعَى العَرِيْسَ

10 a nd says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now.

وَقالَ لَهُ: «فِي العادَةِ يُقَدِّمُ النّاسُ النَّبيذَ الجَيِّدَ أوَّلاً، وَبَعْدَ أنْ يَسْكَرَ الضُّيُوفُ، يُقَدِّمُونَ النَّبيذَ الأقَلَّ جُودَةً، لَكِنَّكَ أبقَيْتَ النَّبيذَ الجَيِّدَ إلَى الآنِ!»

11 T his beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

كانَتْ هَذِهِ أُولَى المُعجِزاتِ الَّتِي صَنَعَها يَسُوعُ، وَقَدْ صَنَعَها فِي بَلْدَةِ قانا فِي إقلِيْمِ الجَلِيلِ. فَأظْهَرَ يَسُوعُ مَجدَهُ، وَآمَنَ بِهِ تَلامِيْذُهُ.

12 A fter this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.

بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ذَهَبَ إلَى مَدِيْنَةِ كَفْرِناحُومَ مَعَ أُمِّهِ وَأُخوَتِهِ وَتَلامِيْذِهِ. وَأقامُوا هُناكَ بِضْعَةَ أيّامٍ. يَسُوعُ يَطْرُدُ التُّجارَ مِنْ ساحَةِ الهَيْكَل

13 A nd the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

وَكانَ عِيْدُ الفِصْحِ اليَهُودِيِّ وَشِيْكاً، فَذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى مَدِيْنَةِ القُدْسِ.

14 A nd he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;

وَوَجَدَ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيْكَلِ أشْخاصاً يَبِيْعُونَ ثِيْراناً وَغَنَماً وَحَماماً. وَوَجَدَ صَرّافِيْنَ جالِسِيْنَ إلَى مَوائِدِهِمْ.

15 a nd, having made a scourge of cords, he cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,

فَصَنَعَ سَوْطاً مِنَ الحِبالِ وَطَرَدَهُمْ جَمِيعاً مِنْ ساحَةِ الهَيْكَلِ مَعَ الغَنَمِ وَالثِّيْرانِ. وَبَعْثَرَ نُقُودَ الصَّرّافِيْنَ، وَقَلَبَ مَوائِدَهُمْ.

16 a nd said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

وَقالَ لِبائِعِي الحَمامِ: «أخرِجُوا هَذِهِ مِنْ هُنا! وَلا تَجعَلُوا مِنْ بَيْتِ أبِي سُوقاً لِلتِّجارَةِ!»

17 h is disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.

فَتَذَكَّرَ تَلامِيْذُهُ أنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «أكَلَتْنِي الغَيْرَةُ عَلَى بَيْتِكَ.»

18 T he Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

فَقالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ اليَهُودِ: «أيَّةَ مُعجِزَةٍ سَتُرِيْنا لِتُثْبِتَ حَقَّكَ فِي أنْ تَفْعَلَ ما فَعَلْتَ؟»

19 J esus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ: «اهدِمُوا هَذا الهَيْكَلَ، وَأنا سَأبْنِيْهِ ثانِيَةً فِي ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ.»

20 T he Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days?

فَقالَ أُولَئِكَ اليَهُودُ: «لَقَدِ اسْتَغْرَقَ بِناءُ هَذا الهَيْكَلِ سِتّاً وَأربَعِيْنَ سَنَةً، وَأنتَ سَتَبْنِيْهِ فِي ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ؟»

21 B ut he spoke of the temple of his body.

لَكِنَّ الهَيْكَلَ الَّذِي عَناهُ يَسُوعُ هُوَ جَسَدَهُ.

22 W hen therefore he was raised from among dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

فَلَمّا قامَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ المَوتِ، تَذَكَّرَ تَلامِيْذُهُ أنَّهُ قالَ هَذا، فَآمَنُوا بِالكُتُبِ وَبِكَلامِ يَسُوعَ.

23 A nd when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought.

وَعِندَما كانَ يَسُوعُ فِي مَدِيْنَةِ القُدْسِ أثْناءَ عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ، آمَنَ كَثِيْرُونَ بِاسْمِهِ لِأنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا المُعجِزاتِ الَّتِي كانَ يَصْنَعُها.

24 B ut Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all,

لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَأْتَمِنُهُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، فَقَدْ كانَ يَعرِفُهُمْ جَمِيعاً.

25 a nd that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَحتاجُ أنْ يُخبِرَهُ أحَدٌ عَنِ النّاسِ، لِأنَّهُ كانَ يَعلَمُ ما فِي داخِلِ النّاسِ.
