¹And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

¹በሦስተኛውም ቀን በገሊላ ቃና ሰርግ ነበረ፥ የኢየሱስም እናት በዚያ ነበረች፤

²and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;

²ኢየሱስም ደግሞ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ወደ ሰርጉ ታደሙ።

³and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, `Wine they have not;`

³የወይን ጠጅም ባለቀ ጊዜ የኢየሱስ እናት። የወይን ጠጅ እኮ የላቸውም አለችው።

⁴Jesus saith to her, `What — to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.`

⁴ኢየሱስም። አንቺ ሴት፥ ከአንቺ ጋር ምን አለኝ? ጊዜዬ ገና አልደረሰም አላት።

⁵His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to you — do.`

⁵እናቱም ለአገልጋዮቹ። የሚላችሁን ሁሉ አድርጉ አለቻቸው።

⁶And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

⁶አይሁድም እንደሚያደርጉት የማንጻት ልማድ ስድስት የድንጋይ ጋኖች በዚያ ተቀምጠው ነበር፥ እያንዳንዳቸውም ሁለት ወይም ሦስት እንስራ ይይዙ ነበር።

⁷Jesus saith to them, `Fill the water-jugs with water;` and they filled them — unto the brim;

⁷ኢየሱስም። ጋኖቹን ውኃ ሙሉአቸው አላቸው። እስከ አፋቸውም ሙሉአቸው አላቸው። እስከ አፋቸውም ሞሉአቸው።

⁸and he saith to them, `Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;` and they bare.

⁸አሁን ቀድታችሁ ለአሳዳሪው ስጡት አላቸው፤ ሰጡትም።

⁹And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

⁹አሳዳሪውም የወይን ጠጅ የሆነውን ውሃ በቀመሰ ጊዜ ከወዴት እንደ መጣ አላወቀም፤ ውኃውን የቀዱት አገልጋዮች ግን ያውቁ ነበር፤ አሳዳሪው ሙሽራውን ጠርቶ።

¹⁰and saith to him, `Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.`

¹⁰ሰው ሁሉ አስቀድሞ መልካሙን የወይን ጠጅ ያቀርባል፥ ከሰከሩም በኋላ መናኛውን፤ አንተስ መልካሙን የወይን ጠጅ እስከ አሁን አቆይተሃል አለው።

¹¹This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

¹¹ኢየሱስ ይህን የምልክቶች መጀመሪያ በገሊላ ቃና አደረገ፤ ክብሩንም ገለጠ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም በእርሱ አመኑ።

¹²after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

¹²ከዚህ በኋላ ከእናቱና ከወንድሞቹ ከደቀ መዛሙርቱም ጋር ወደ ቅፍርናሆም ወረደ፥ በዚያም ጥቂት ቀን ኖሩ።

¹³And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

¹³የአይሁድ ፋሲካም ቀርቦ ነበር፥ ኢየሱስም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ወጣ።

¹⁴and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

¹⁴በመቅደስም በሬዎችንና በጎችን ርግቦችንም የሚሸጡትን ገንዘብ ለዋጮችንም ተቀምጠው አገኘ፤

¹⁵and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

¹⁵የገመድም ጅራፍ አበጅቶ ሁሉን በጎችንም በሬዎችንም ከመቅደስ አወጣቸው፥ የለዋጮችንም ገንዘብ አፈሰሰ ገበታዎቻቸውንም ገለበጠ፥

¹⁶and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.`

¹⁶ርግብ ሻጪዎችንም። ይህን ከዚህ ውሰዱ፤ የአባቴን ቤት የንግድ ቤት አታድርጉት አላቸው።

¹⁷And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;`

¹⁷ደቀ መዛሙርቱም። የቤትህ ቅናት ይበላኛል ተብሎ እንደ ተጻፈ አሰቡ።

¹⁸the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?`

¹⁸ስለዚህ አይሁድ መልሰው። ይህን ስለምታደርግ ምን ምልክት ታሳየናለህ? አሉት።

¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them, `Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.`

¹⁹ኢየሱስም መልሶ። ይህን ቤተ መቅደስ አፍርሱት፥ በሦስት ቀንም አነሣዋለሁ አላቸው።

²⁰The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?`

²⁰ስለዚህ አይሁድ። ይህ ቤተ መቅደስ ከአርባ ስድስት ዓመት ጀምሮ ይሠራ ነበር፥ አንተስ በሦስት ቀን ታነሣዋለህን? አሉት።

²¹but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;

²¹እርሱ ግን ስለ ሰውነቱ ቤተ መቅደስ ይል ነበር።

²²when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

²²ስለዚህ ከሙታን ከተነሣ በኋላ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ይህን እንደ ተናገረ አሰቡና መጽሐፍንና ኢየሱስ የተናገረውን ቃል አመኑ።

²³And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

²³በፋሲካ በዓልም በኢየሩሳሌም ሳለ፥ ያደረገውን ምልክት ባዩ ጊዜ ብዙ ሰዎች በስሙ አመኑ፤

²⁴and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all [men],

²⁴ነገር ግን ኢየሱስ ሰዎችን ሁሉ ያውቅ ነበር፤ ስለ ሰውም ማንም ሊመሰክር አያስፈልገውም ነበርና አይተማመናቸውም ነበር፤ ራሱ በሰው ያለውን ያውቅ ነበርና።

²⁵and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.
