1 T hree days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in the country of Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there.

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

2 J esus and His followers were asked to come to the wedding.

وَقَدْ دُعِيَ أيضاً يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيْذُهُ إلَى العُرْسِ.

3 W hen the wine was all gone, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

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

4 J esus said to her, “Woman, what is that to you and to Me. It is not time for Me to work yet.”

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

5 H is mother said to the helpers, “Do whatever He says.”

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

6 S ix stone water jars were there. Each one held about one-half barrel of water. These water jars were used in the Jewish worship of washing.

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

7 J esus said to the helpers, “Fill the jars with water.” They filled them to the top.

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

8 T hen He said, “Take some out and give it to the head man who is caring for the people.” They took some to him.

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

9 T he head man tasted the water that had become wine. He did not know where it came from but the helpers who took it to him knew. He called the man who had just been married.

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 T he head man said to him, “Everyone puts out his best wine first. After people have had much to drink, he puts out the wine that is not so good. You have kept the good wine until 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 was the first powerful work Jesus did. It was done in Cana of Galilee where He showed His power. His followers put their trust in 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 went down to the city of Capernaum. His mother and brothers and followers went with Him. They stayed there a few days. Jesus Stops the Buying and the Selling in the House of God

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

13 I t was time for the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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

14 H e went into the house of God and found cattle and sheep and doves being sold. Men were sitting there changing money.

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

15 J esus made a whip of small ropes. He used it to make them all leave the house of God along with the sheep and cattle. He pushed their money off the tables and turned the tables over.

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

16 H e said to those who sold doves, “Take these things out of here! You must not make My Father’s house a place for buying and selling!”

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

17 T hen His followers remembered that it was written in the Holy Writings, “I am jealous for the honor of Your house.” The Jews Ask for Something Special to See

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

18 T hen the Jews asked Him, “What can You do to show us You have the right and the power to do these things?”

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

19 J esus answered them, “Destroy this house of God and in three days I will build it again.”

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

20 T hen the Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this house of God. Will You build it up in three days?”

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

21 J esus was speaking of His body as the house of God.

لَكِنَّ الهَيْكَلَ الَّذِي عَناهُ يَسُوعُ هُوَ جَسَدَهُ.

22 A fter Jesus had been raised from the dead, His followers remembered He said this. They believed the Holy Writings and what He had said.

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

23 J esus was in Jerusalem at the time of the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. Many people put their trust in Him when they saw the powerful works He did.

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

24 B ut Jesus did not trust them because He knew all men.

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

25 H e did not need anyone to tell Him about man. He knew what was in man.

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