John 2

1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

1 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ كَانَ عُرْسٌ فِي قَانَا بِمِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ.

2 and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

2 وَدُعِيَ إِلَى الْعُرْسِ أَيْضاً يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ.

3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

3 فَلَمَّا نَفَدَتِ الْخَمْرُ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ لَهُ: «لَمْ يَبْقَ عِنْدَهُمْ خَمْرٌ!»

4 “Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

4 فَأَجَابَهَا: «مَا شَأْنُكِ بِي يَا امْرَأَةُ؟ سَاعَتِي لَمْ تَأْتِ بَعْدُ!»

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

5 فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ لِلْخَدَمِ: «افْعَلُوا كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِهِ».

6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

6 وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ سِتَّةُ أَجْرَانٍ حَجَرِيَّةٍ، يَسْتَعْمِلُ الْيَهُودُ مَاءَهَا لِلتَّطَهُّرِ، يَسَعُ الْوَاحِدُ مِنْهَا مَا بَيْنَ مِكْيَالَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٍ (أَيْ مَا بَيْنَ ثَمَانِينَ إِلَى مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لِتْراً).

7 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

7 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلْخَدَمِ: «امْلأُوا الأَجْرَانَ مَاءً». فَمَلأُوهَا حَتَّى كَادَتْ تَفِيضُ.

8 “Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

8 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَالآنَ اغْرِفُوا مِنْهَا وَقَدِّمُوا إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْوَلِيمَةِ!» فَفَعَلُوا.

9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside

9 وَلَمَّا ذَاقَ رَئِيسُ الْوَلِيمَةِ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى خَمْرٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ مَصْدَرَهُ، أَمَّا الْخَدَمُ الَّذِينَ قَدَّمُوهُ فَكَانُوا يَعْرِفُونَ، اسْتَدْعَى الْعَرِيسَ،

10 and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”

10 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «النَّاسُ جَمِيعاً يُقَدِّمُونَ الْخَمْرَ الْجَيِّدَةَ أَوَّلاً، وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَسْكَرَ الضُّيُوفُ يُقَدِّمُونَ لَهُمْ مَا كَانَ دُونَهَا جَوْدَةً. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتَ الْخَمْرَ الْجَيِّدَةَ حَتَّى الآنَ!»

11 Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

11 هَذِهِ الْمُعْجِزَةُ هِيَ الآيَةُ الأُولَى الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا يَسُوعُ فِي قَانَا بِالْجَلِيلِ، وَأَظْهَرَ مَجْدَهُ، فَآمَنَ بِهِ تَلامِيذُهُ.

12 After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

12 وَبَعْدَ هَذَا، نَزَلَ يَسُوعُ وَأُمُّهُ وَإخْوَتُهُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ كَفْرَنَاحُومَ، حَيْثُ أَقَامُوا بِضْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

13 When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

13 وَإِذِ اقْتَرَبَ عِيدُ الْفِصْحِ الْيَهُودِيُّ، صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

14 In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

14 فَوَجَدَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ بَاعَةَ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَالْحَمَامِ، وَالصَّيَارِفَةَ جَالِسِينَ إِلَى مَوَائِدِهِمْ،

15 So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

15 فَجَدَلَ سَوْطاً مِنْ حِبَالٍ، وَطَرَدَهُمْ جَمِيعاً مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ، مَعَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ، وَبَعْثَرَ نُقُودَ الصَّيَارِفَةِ وَقَلَبَ مَنَاضِدَهُمْ،

16 To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

16 وَقَالَ لِبَائِعِي الْحَمَامِ: «أَخْرِجُوا هذِهِ مِنْ هُنَا. لَا تَجْعَلُوا بَيْتَ أَبِي بَيْتاً لِلتِّجَارَةِ!»

17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

17 فَتَذَكَّرَ تَلامِيذُهُ أَنَّهُ جَاءَ فِي الْكِتَابِ: «الْغَيْرَةُ عَلَى بَيْتِكَ تَأْكُلُنِي».

18 On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

18 فَتَصَدَّى الْيَهُودُ لِيَسُوعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَاتِ آيَةً تُثْبِتُ سُلْطَتَكَ لِفِعْلِ مَا فَعَلْتَ!»

19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

19 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «اهْدِمُوا هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ، وَفِي ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أُقِيمُهُ».

20 “This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

20 فَقَالَ لَهُ الْيَهُودُ: «اقْتَضَى بِنَاءُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ سِتَّةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ عَاماً، فَهَلْ تُقِيمُهُ أَنْتَ فِي ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ؟»

21 But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

21 وَلكِنَّهُ كَانَ يُشِيرُ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ جَسَدِهِ.

22 After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

22 فَلَمَّا قَامَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ فِيمَا بَعْدُ تَذَكَّرَ تَلامِيذُهُ قَوْلَهُ هَذَا، فَآمَنُوا بِالْكِتَابِ وَبِالْكَلامِ الَّذِي قَالَهُ يَسُوعُ.

23 While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

23 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي عِيدِ الْفِصْحِ، آمَنَ بِاسْمِهِ كَثِيرُونَ إِذْ شَهِدُوا الآيَاتِ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا.

24 But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

24 وَلَكِنَّهُ هُوَ لَمْ يَأْتَمِنْهُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْرِفُ الْجَمِيعَ

25 He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.

25 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَهُ عَنِ الإِنْسَانِ، لأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ دَخِيلَةَ الإِنْسَانِ.
