Κατα Ιωαννην 2
1 και τη ημερα τη τριτη γαμος εγενετο εν κανα της γαλιλαιας και ην η μητηρ του ιησου εκει
Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,
2 εκληθη δε και ο ιησους και οι μαθηται αυτου εις τον γαμον
and Jesus also was invited and His disciples.
3 και υστερησαντος οινου λεγει η μητηρ του ιησου προς αυτον οινον ουκ εχουσιν
Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine."
4 {VAR1: και } {VAR2: [και] } λεγει αυτη ο ιησους τι εμοι και σοι γυναι ουπω ηκει η ωρα μου
"Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; "the time for me to act has not yet come."
5 λεγει η μητηρ αυτου τοις διακονοις ο τι αν λεγη υμιν ποιησατε
His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he tells you to do, do it."
6 ησαν δε εκει λιθιναι υδριαι εξ κατα τον καθαρισμον των ιουδαιων κειμεναι χωρουσαι ανα μετρητας δυο η τρεις
Now there were six stone jars standing there (in accordance with the Jewish regulations for purification), each large enough to hold twenty gallons or more.
7 λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους γεμισατε τας υδριας υδατος και εγεμισαν αυτας εως ανω
Jesus said to the attendants, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them to the brim.
8 και λεγει αυτοις αντλησατε νυν και φερετε τω αρχιτρικλινω οι δε ηνεγκαν
Then He said, "Now, take some out, and carry it to the President of the feast."
9 ως δε εγευσατο ο αρχιτρικλινος το υδωρ οινον γεγενημενον και ουκ ηδει ποθεν εστιν οι δε διακονοι ηδεισαν οι ηντληκοτες το υδωρ φωνει τον νυμφιον ο αρχιτρικλινος
So they carried some to him. And no sooner had the President tasted the water now turned into wine, than--not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn the water knew--he called to the bridegroom
10 και λεγει αυτω πας ανθρωπος πρωτον τον καλον οινον τιθησιν και οταν μεθυσθωσιν τον ελασσω συ τετηρηκας τον καλον οινον εως αρτι
and said to him, "It is usual to put on the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then that which is inferior. But you have kept the good wine till now."
11 ταυτην εποιησεν αρχην των σημειων ο ιησους εν κανα της γαλιλαιας και εφανερωσεν την δοξαν αυτου και επιστευσαν εις αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου
This, the first of His miracles, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee, and thus displayed His glorious power; and His disciples believed in Him.
12 μετα τουτο κατεβη εις καφαρναουμ αυτος και η μητηρ αυτου και οι αδελφοι {VAR2: [αυτου] } και οι μαθηται αυτου και εκει εμειναν ου πολλας ημερας
Afterwards He went down to Capernaum--He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and they made a short stay there.
13 και εγγυς ην το πασχα των ιουδαιων και ανεβη εις ιεροσολυμα ο ιησους
But the Jewish Passover was approaching, and for this Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 και ευρεν εν τω ιερω τους πωλουντας βοας και προβατα και περιστερας και τους κερματιστας καθημενους
And He found in the Temple the dealers in cattle and sheep and in pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.
15 και ποιησας φραγελλιον εκ σχοινιων παντας εξεβαλεν εκ του ιερου τα τε προβατα και τους βοας και των κολλυβιστων εξεχεεν {VAR1: τα κερματα } {VAR2: το κερμα } και τας τραπεζας ανετρεψεν
So He plaited a whip of rushes, and drove all--both sheep and bullocks--out of the Temple. The small coin of the brokers He upset on the ground and overturned their tables.
16 και τοις τας περιστερας πωλουσιν ειπεν αρατε ταυτα εντευθεν μη ποιειτε τον οικον του πατρος μου οικον εμποριου
And to the pigeon-dealers He said, "Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's house into a market."
17 εμνησθησαν οι μαθηται αυτου οτι γεγραμμενον εστιν ο ζηλος του οικου σου καταφαγεται με
This recalled to His disciples the words of Scripture, "My zeal for Thy House will consume me."
18 απεκριθησαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι και ειπαν αυτω τι σημειον δεικνυεις ημιν οτι ταυτα ποιεις
So the Jews asked Him, "What proof of your authority do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?"
19 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις λυσατε τον ναον τουτον και {VAR1: [εν] } {VAR2: εν } τρισιν ημεραις εγερω αυτον
"Demolish this Sanctuary," said Jesus, "and in three days I will rebuild it."
20 ειπαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι τεσσερακοντα και εξ ετεσιν οικοδομηθη ο ναος ουτος και συ εν τρισιν ημεραις εγερεις αυτον
"It has taken forty-six years," replied the Jews, "to build this Sanctuary, and will you rebuild it in three days?"
21 εκεινος δε ελεγεν περι του ναου του σωματος αυτου
But He was speaking of the Sanctuary of His body.
22 οτε ουν ηγερθη εκ νεκρων εμνησθησαν οι μαθηται αυτου οτι τουτο ελεγεν και επιστευσαν τη γραφη και τω λογω ον ειπεν ο ιησους
When however He had risen from among the dead, His disciples recollected that He had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the teaching which Jesus had given them.
23 ως δε ην εν τοις ιεροσολυμοις εν τω πασχα εν τη εορτη πολλοι επιστευσαν εις το ονομα αυτου θεωρουντες αυτου τα σημεια α εποιει
Now when He was in Jerusalem, at the Festival of the Passover, many became believers in Him through watching the miracles He performed.
24 αυτος δε ιησους ουκ επιστευεν αυτον αυτοις δια το αυτον γινωσκειν παντας
But for His part, Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew them all,
25 και οτι ου χρειαν ειχεν ινα τις μαρτυρηση περι του ανθρωπου αυτος γαρ εγινωσκεν τι ην εν τω ανθρωπω
and did not need any one's testimony concerning a man, for He of Himself knew what was in the man.
