John 2 (NAV) · Opened

1وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ كَانَ عُرْسٌ فِي قَانَا بِمِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ.On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

2وَدُعِيَ إِلَى الْعُرْسِ أَيْضاً يَسُوعُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3فَلَمَّا نَفَدَتِ الْخَمْرُ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ لَهُ: «لَمْ يَبْقَ عِنْدَهُمْ خَمْرٌ!»When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4فَأَجَابَهَا: «مَا شَأْنُكِ بِي يَا امْرَأَةُ؟ سَاعَتِي لَمْ تَأْتِ بَعْدُ!»“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ لِلْخَدَمِ: «افْعَلُوا كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِهِ».His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ سِتَّةُ أَجْرَانٍ حَجَرِيَّةٍ، يَسْتَعْمِلُ الْيَهُودُ مَاءَهَا لِلتَّطَهُّرِ، يَسَعُ الْوَاحِدُ مِنْهَا مَا بَيْنَ مِكْيَالَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٍ (أَيْ مَا بَيْنَ ثَمَانِينَ إِلَى مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لِتْراً).Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلْخَدَمِ: «امْلأُوا الأَجْرَانَ مَاءً». فَمَلأُوهَا حَتَّى كَادَتْ تَفِيضُ.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَالآنَ اغْرِفُوا مِنْهَا وَقَدِّمُوا إِلَى رَئِيسِ الْوَلِيمَةِ!» فَفَعَلُوا.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

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

10وَقَالَ 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!»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!”

11هَذِهِ الْمُعْجِزَةُ هِيَ الآيَةُ الأُولَى الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا يَسُوعُ فِي قَانَا بِالْجَلِيلِ، وَأَظْهَرَ مَجْدَهُ، فَآمَنَ بِهِ تَلامِيذُهُ.Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

12وَبَعْدَ هَذَا، نَزَلَ يَسُوعُ وَأُمُّهُ وَإخْوَتُهُ وَتَلامِيذُهُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ كَفْرَنَاحُومَ، حَيْثُ أَقَامُوا بِضْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13وَإِذِ اقْتَرَبَ عِيدُ الْفِصْحِ الْيَهُودِيُّ، صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14فَوَجَدَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ بَاعَةَ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَالْحَمَامِ، وَالصَّيَارِفَةَ جَالِسِينَ إِلَى مَوَائِدِهِمْ،In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

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

16وَقَالَ لِبَائِعِي الْحَمَامِ: «أَخْرِجُوا هذِهِ مِنْ هُنَا. لَا تَجْعَلُوا بَيْتَ أَبِي بَيْتاً لِلتِّجَارَةِ!»To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17فَتَذَكَّرَ تَلامِيذُهُ أَنَّهُ جَاءَ فِي الْكِتَابِ: «الْغَيْرَةُ عَلَى بَيْتِكَ تَأْكُلُنِي».His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18فَتَصَدَّى الْيَهُودُ لِيَسُوعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَاتِ آيَةً تُثْبِتُ سُلْطَتَكَ لِفِعْلِ مَا فَعَلْتَ!»On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «اهْدِمُوا هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ، وَفِي ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أُقِيمُهُ».Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20فَقَالَ لَهُ الْيَهُودُ: «اقْتَضَى بِنَاءُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ سِتَّةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ عَاماً، فَهَلْ تُقِيمُهُ أَنْتَ فِي ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ؟»“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21وَلكِنَّهُ كَانَ يُشِيرُ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ جَسَدِهِ.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

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

23وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي عِيدِ الْفِصْحِ، آمَنَ بِاسْمِهِ كَثِيرُونَ إِذْ شَهِدُوا الآيَاتِ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24وَلَكِنَّهُ هُوَ لَمْ يَأْتَمِنْهُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْرِفُ الْجَمِيعَBut Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَهُ عَنِ الإِنْسَانِ، لأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ دَخِيلَةَ الإِنْسَانِ.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
