John 2 (AVD) · Opened

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

2وَدُعِيَ أَيْضًا يَسُوعُ وَتَلَامِيذُهُ إِلَى ٱلْعُرْسِ.and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3وَلَمَّا فَرَغَتِ ٱلْخَمْرُ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ لَهُ: «لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَمْرٌ».When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

4قَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «مَا لِي وَلَكِ يَا ٱمْرَأَةُ؟ لَمْ تَأْتِ سَاعَتِي بَعْدُ».“Woman, what is that to you and to Me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5قَالَتْ أُمُّهُ لِلْخُدَّامِ: «مَهْمَا قَالَ لَكُمْ فَٱفْعَلُوهُ».His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

6وَكَانَتْ سِتَّةُ أَجْرَانٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَوْضُوعَةً هُنَاكَ، حَسَبَ تَطْهِيرِ ٱلْيَهُودِ، يَسَعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِطْرَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً.Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

7قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱمْلَأُوا ٱلْأَجْرَانَ مَاءً». فَمَلَأُوهَا إِلَى فَوْقُ.Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.

8ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱسْتَقُوا ٱلْآنَ وَقَدِّمُوا إِلَى رَئِيسِ ٱلْمُتَّكَإِ». فَقَدَّمُوا.“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

9فَلَمَّا ذَاقَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْمُتَّكَإِ ٱلْمَاءَ ٱلْمُتَحَوِّلَ خَمْرًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هِيَ، لَكِنَّ ٱلْخُدَّامَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَدِ ٱسْتَقَوْا ٱلْمَاءَ عَلِمُوا، دَعَا رَئِيسُ ٱلْمُتَّكَإِ ٱلْعَرِيسَand 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: «كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ إِنَّمَا يَضَعُ ٱلْخَمْرَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ أَوَّلًا، وَمَتَى سَكِرُوا فَحِينَئِذٍ ٱلدُّونَ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ أَبْقَيْتَ ٱلْخَمْرَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ!».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 بِدَايَةُ ٱلْآيَاتِ فَعَلَهَا يَسُوعُ فِي قَانَا ٱلْجَلِيلِ، وَأَظْهَرَ مَجْدَهُ، فَآمَنَ بِهِ تَلَامِيذُهُ.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 ٱنْحَدَرَ إِلَى كَفْرِنَاحُومَ، هُوَ وَأُمُّهُ وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَتَلَامِيذُهُ، وَأَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ أَيَّامًا لَيْسَتْ كَثِيرَةً.After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

13وَكَانَ فِصْحُ ٱلْيَهُودِ قَرِيبًا، فَصَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14وَوَجَدَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَ بَقَرًا وَغَنَمًا وَحَمَامًا، وَٱلصَّيَارِفَ جُلُوسًا.In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.

15فَصَنَعَ سَوْطًا مِنْ حِبَالٍ وَطَرَدَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، اَلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْبَقَرَ، وَكَبَّ دَرَاهِمَ ٱلصَّيَارِفِ وَقَلَّبَ مَوَائِدَهُمْ.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 لِبَاعَةِ ٱلْحَمَامِ: «ٱرْفَعُوا هَذِهِ مِنْ هَهُنَا! لَا تَجْعَلُوا بَيْتَ أَبِي بَيْتَ تِجَارَةٍ!».To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

17فَتَذَكَّرَ تَلَامِيذُهُ أَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «غَيْرَةُ بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي».His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18فَأَجَابَ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَقَالوُا لَهُ: «أَيَّةَ آيَةٍ تُرِينَا حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ هَذَا؟».On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

19أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «ٱنْقُضُوا هَذَا ٱلْهَيْكَلَ، وَفِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أُقِيمُهُ».Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

20فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ: «فِي سِتٍّ وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً بُنِيَ هَذَا ٱلْهَيْكَلُ، أَفَأَنْتَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ تُقِيمُهُ؟».“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ عَنْ هَيْكَلِ جَسَدِهِ.But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22فَلَمَّا قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، تَذَكَّرَ تَلَامِيذُهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ هَذَا، فَآمَنُوا بِٱلْكِتَابِ وَٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي 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.

23وَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي عِيدِ ٱلْفِصْحِ، آمَنَ كَثِيرُونَ بِٱسْمِهِ، إِذْ رَأَوْا ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ.While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَأْتَمِنْهُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْرِفُ ٱلْجَمِيعَ.But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25وَلِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُحْتَاجًا أَنْ يَشْهَدَ أَحَدٌ عَنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِأَنَّهُ عَلِمَ مَا كَانَ فِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
