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

¹And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

²ኢየሱስም ደግሞ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ወደ ሰርጉ ታደሙ።

²And Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage.

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

³And wine being deficient, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.

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

⁴Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.

⁵እናቱም ለአገልጋዮቹ። የሚላችሁን ሁሉ አድርጉ አለቻቸው።

⁵His mother says to the servants, Whatever he may say to you, do.

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

⁶Now there were standing there six stone water-vessels, according to the purification of the Jews, holding two or three measures each.

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

⁷Jesus says to them, Fill the water-vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

⁸አሁን ቀድታችሁ ለአሳዳሪው ስጡት አላቸው፤ ሰጡትም።

⁸And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry [it] to the feast-master. And they carried [it].

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

⁹But when the feast-master had tasted the water which had been made wine (and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who drew the water), the feast-master calls the bridegroom,

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

¹⁰and says to him, Every man sets on first the good wine, and when [men] have well drunk, then the inferior; thou hast kept the good wine till now.

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

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

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

¹²After this he descended to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.

¹³የአይሁድ ፋሲካም ቀርቦ ነበር፥ ኢየሱስም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ወጣ።

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

¹⁴በመቅደስም በሬዎችንና በጎችን ርግቦችንም የሚሸጡትን ገንዘብ ለዋጮችንም ተቀምጠው አገኘ፤

¹⁴And he found in the temple the sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting;

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

¹⁵and, having made a scourge of cords, he cast [them] all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the change of the money-changers, and overturned the tables,

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

¹⁶and said to the sellers of doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

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

¹⁷[And] his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thy house devours me.

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

¹⁸The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

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

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

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

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

²¹እርሱ ግን ስለ ሰውነቱ ቤተ መቅደስ ይል ነበር።

²¹But *he* spoke of the temple of his body.

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

²²When therefore he was raised from among [the] dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

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

²³And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought.

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

²⁴But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all [men],

²⁵and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.
