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

¹The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.

²ኢየሱስም ደግሞ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ወደ ሰርጉ ታደሙ።

²Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.

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

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

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

⁴Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”

⁵እናቱም ለአገልጋዮቹ። የሚላችሁን ሁሉ አድርጉ አለቻቸው።

⁵His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”

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

⁶Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes 2 to 3 metretes is about 20 to 30 U. S. Gallons, or 75 to 115 litres. apiece.

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

⁷Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” They filled them up to the brim.

⁸አሁን ቀድታችሁ ለአሳዳሪው ስጡት አላቸው፤ ሰጡትም።

⁸He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.

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

⁹When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,

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

¹⁰and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!”

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

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

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

¹²After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

¹³የአይሁድ ፋሲካም ቀርቦ ነበር፥ ኢየሱስም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ወጣ።

¹³The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁴በመቅደስም በሬዎችንና በጎችን ርግቦችንም የሚሸጡትን ገንዘብ ለዋጮችንም ተቀምጠው አገኘ፤

¹⁴He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.

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

¹⁵He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables.

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

¹⁶To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”

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

¹⁷His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.” Psalm 69:9

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

¹⁸The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

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

¹⁹Jesus answered 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, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you 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 the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

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

²³Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

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

²⁴But Jesus didn’t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

²⁵and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
