Κατα Ιωαννην 2
1 Και την τρίτην ημέραν έγεινε γάμος εν Κανά της Γαλιλαίας, και ήτο η μήτηρ του Ιησού εκεί.
Two days after this there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Προσεκλήθη δε και ο Ιησούς και οι μαθηταί αυτού εις τον γάμον.
Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.
3 Και επειδή έλειψεν ο οίνος, λέγει η μήτηρ του Ιησού προς αυτόν· Οίνον δεν έχουσι.
And, when the wine ran short, his mother said to him, ‘They have no wine left.’
4 Λέγει προς αυτήν ο Ιησούς· Τι είναι μεταξύ εμού και σου, γύναι; δεν ήλθεν έτι η ώρα μου.
‘What do you want with me?’ answered Jesus. ‘My time has not come yet.’
5 Λέγει η μήτηρ αυτού προς τους υπηρέτας· ό, τι σας λέγει, κάμετε.
His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’
6 Ήσαν δε εκεί υδρίαι λίθιναι εξ κείμεναι κατά το έθος του καθαρισμού των Ιουδαίων, χωρούσαι εκάστη δύο ή τρία μέτρα.
There were standing there six stone water-jars, in accordance with the Jewish rule of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7 Λέγει προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Γεμίσατε τας υδρίας ύδατος. Και εγέμισαν αυτάς έως άνω.
Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the water-jars with water.’
8 Και λέγει προς αυτούς· Αντλήσατε τώρα και φέρετε προς τον αρχιτρίκλινον. Και έφεραν.
And, when they had filled them to the brim, he added, ‘Now take some out, and carry it to the Master of the feast.’ The servants did so.
9 Καθώς δε ο αρχιτρίκλινος εγεύθη το ύδωρ εις οίνον μεταβεβλημένον και δεν ήξευρε πόθεν είναι, οι υπηρέται όμως ήξευρον οι αντλήσαντες το ύδωρ φωνάζει τον νυμφίον ο αρχιτρίκλινος
And, when the Master of the feast had tasted the water which had now become wine, not knowing where it had come from – although the servants who had taken out the water knew –
10 και λέγει προς αυτόν· Πας άνθρωπος πρώτον τον καλόν οίνον βάλλει, και αφού πίωσι πολύ, τότε τον κατώτερον· συ εφύλαξας τον καλόν οίνον έως τώρα.
He called the groom and said to him, ‘Everyone puts good wine on the table first, and inferior wine afterwards, when his guests have drunk freely; but you have kept back the good wine till now!’
11 Ταύτην την αρχήν των θαυμάτων έκαμεν ο Ιησούς εν Κανά της Γαλιλαίας και εφανέρωσε την δόξαν αυτού, και επίστευσαν εις αυτόν οι μαθηταί αυτού.
This, the first sign of his mission, Jesus gave at Cana in Galilee, and by it revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 Μετά τούτο κατέβη εις Καπερναούμ αυτός και η μήτηρ αυτού και οι αδελφοί αυτού και οι μαθηταί αυτού, και εκεί έμειναν ουχ πολλάς ημέρας.
After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum – he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; but they stayed there only a few days.
13 Επλησίαζε δε το πάσχα των Ιουδαίων, και ανέβη εις Ιεροσόλυμα ο Ιησούς.
Then, as the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 Και εύρεν εν τω ιερώ, τους πωλούντας βόας και πρόβατα και περιστεράς, και τους αργυραμοιβούς καθημένους.
In the Temple Courts he found people who were selling bullocks, sheep, and pigeons, and the money changers at their counters.
15 Και ποιήσας μάστιγα εκ σχοινίων, εδίωξε πάντας εκ του ιερού και τα πρόβατα και τους βόας, και τα νομίσματα των αργυραμοιβών έχυσε και τας τραπέζας ανέτρεψε,
So he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the Temple Courts, and the sheep and bullocks as well; he scattered the money of the money changers, and overturned their tables,
16 και προς τους πωλούντας τας περιστεράς είπε· Σηκώσατε ταύτα εντεύθεν· μη κάμνετε τον οίκον του Πατρός μου οίκον εμπορίου.
and said to the pigeon-dealers, ‘Take these things away. Do not turn my Father’s house into a market house.’
17 Τότε ενεθυμήθησαν οι μαθηταί αυτού ότι είναι γεγραμμένον, Ο ζήλος του οίκου σου με κατέφαγεν.
His disciples remembered that scripture said – “Passion for your house will consume me.”
18 Απεκρίθησαν λοιπόν οι Ιουδαίοι και είπον προς αυτόν· Τι σημείον δεικνύεις εις ημάς, διότι κάμνεις ταύτα;
Then some of the religious authorities asked Jesus, ‘What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?’
19 Απεκρίθη ο Ιησούς και είπε προς αυτούς· Χαλάσατε τον ναόν τούτον, και διά τριών ημερών θέλω εγείρει αυτόν.
‘Destroy this temple,’ was his answer, ‘and I will raise it in three days.’
20 Και οι Ιουδαίοι είπον· Εις τεσσαράκοντα και εξ έτη ωκοδομήθη ο ναός ούτος, και συ θέλεις εγείρει αυτόν εις τρεις ημέρας;
‘This Temple,’ the authorities replied, ‘has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to “raise it in three days”?’
21 Εκείνος όμως έλεγε περί του ναού του σώματος αυτού.
But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.
22 Ότε λοιπόν ηγέρθη εκ νεκρών, ενεθυμήθησαν οι μαθηταί αυτού ότι τούτο έλεγε προς αυτούς, και επίστευσαν εις την γραφήν και εις τον λόγον, τον οποίον είπεν ο Ιησούς.
Afterwards, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the passage of scripture, and the words which Jesus had spoken.
23 Και ενώ ήτο εν Ιεροσολύμοις κατά την εορτήν του πάσχα, πολλοί επίστευσαν εις το όνομα αυτού, βλέποντες αυτού τα θαύματα, τα οποία έκαμνεν.
While Jesus was in Jerusalem, during the Passover Festival, many came to trust in him, when they saw the signs of his mission that he was giving.
24 Αυτός δε ο Ιησούς δεν ενεπιστεύετο εις αυτούς, διότι εγνώριζε πάντας,
But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.
25 και διότι δεν είχε χρείαν διά να μαρτυρήση τις περί του ανθρώπου· επειδή αυτός εγνώριζε τι ήτο εντός του ανθρώπου.
He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.
