2:1
Καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ γάμος ἐγένετο ἐν Κανὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἦν ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἐκεῖ·
Et die tertia nuptiae factae sunt in Cana Galilaeae, et erat mater Jesu ibi.
ወአመ ሣልስት ዕለት ከብካብ ኮነ በቃና ዘገሊላ ወሀለወት ህየ እሙ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ።
The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.
2:2
ἐκλήθη δὲ καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν γάμον.
Vocatus est autem et Jesus, et discipuli ejus, ad nuptias.
ወጸውዕዎ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወለአርዳኢሁ ውስተ ከብካብ።
Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.
2:3
καὶ οἶνον οὐκ εἶχον, ὅτι συνετελέσθη ὁ οἶνος τοῦ γάμου. εἶτα λέγει ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ πρὸς αὐτόν· οἶνος οὐκ ἔστιν.
Et deficiente vino, dicit mater Jesu ad eum : Vinum non habent.
ወሶበ ኀልቀ ወይኖሙ ትቤሎ እሙ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወይንኬ አልቦሙ።
When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
2:4
λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, γύναι; οὔπω ἥκει ἡ ὥρα μου.
Et dicit ei Jesus : Quid mihi et tibi est, mulier ? nondum venit hora mea.
ወይቤላ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ምንት ብየ ምስሌኪ ኦ ብእሲቶ ዓዲ ኢበጽሐ ጊዜየ።
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.”
2:5
λέγει ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ τοῖς διακόνοις· ὅ τι ἂν λέγῃ ὑμῖν, ποιήσατε.
Dicit mater ejus ministris : Quodcumque dixerit vobis, facite.
ወትቤሎሙ እሙ ለእለ ይትለአኩ ኵሎ ዘይቤለክሙ ግበሩ።
His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
2:6
ἦσαν δὲ ἐκεῖ λίθιναι ὑδρίαι ἓξ κατὰ τὸν καθαρισμὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων κείμεναι, χωροῦσαι ἀνὰ μετρητὰς δύο ἢ τρεῖς.
Erant autem ibi lapideae hydriae sex positae secundum purificationem Judaeorum, capientes singulae metretas binas vel ternas.
ወሀለዋ ህየ መሣብክት ስድስቱ እለ እብን በዘያጥሕሩ ቦቶን አይሁድ ንቡራት ህየ ወያገምራ በበ ክልኤቱ ወበበ ሠለስቱ መስፈርት ዘቀሡት።
Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.
2:7
λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· γεμίσατε τὰς ὑδρίας ὕδατος. καὶ ἐγέμισαν αὐτὰς ἕως ἄνω.
Dicit eis Jesus : Implete hydrias aqua. Et impleverunt eas usque ad summum.
ወይቤሎሙ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ምልእዎንኬ ለእላ መሣብክት ማየ ወመልእዎን እስከ አፉሂን ወእስከ ላዕሎን።
Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim.
2:8
καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἀντλήσατε νῦν καὶ φέρετε τῷ ἀρχιτρικλίνῳ. οἱ δὲ ἤνεγκαν.
Et dicit eis Jesus : Haurite nunc, et ferte architriclino. Et tulerunt.
ወይቤሎሙ ቅድሑኬ ይእዜ ወሰዱ ወሀብዎ ለሊቀ ምርፋቅ ወወሰዱ ወወሀብዎ።
He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast.” So they took it.
2:9
ὡς δὲ ἐγεύσατο ὁ ἀρχιτρίκλινος τὸ ὕδωρ οἶνον γεγενημένον, καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει πόθεν ἐστίν, οἱ δὲ διάκονοι ᾔδεισαν οἱ ἠντληκότες τὸ ὕδωρ, φωνεῖ τὸν νυμφίον ὁ ἀρχιτρίκλινος
Ut autem gustavit architriclinus aquam vinum factam, et non sciebat unde esset, ministri autem sciebant, qui hauserant aquam : vocat sponsum architriclinus,
ወጥዒሞ አንከረ ሊቀ ምርፋቅ ውእተ ማየ ዘኮነ ወይነ ወኢያእመረ እምኀበ አምጽእዎ ወገዛእትሰ እለ ቀድሕዎ የአምሩ ውእተ ማየ ዘኮነ ወይነ።
When 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
2:10
καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· πᾶς ἄνθρωπος πρῶτον τὸν καλὸν οἶνον τίθησιν, καὶ ὅταν μεθυσθῶσιν τὸν ἐλάσσω· σὺ τετήρηκας τὸν καλὸν οἶνον ἕως ἄρτι.
et dicit ei : Omnis homo primum bonum vinum ponit et cum inebriati fuerint, tunc id, quod deterius est. Tu autem servasti bonum vinum usque adhuc.

and 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!”
2:11
ταύτην ἐποίησεν ἀρχὴν τῶν σημείων ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν Κανὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐφανέρωσεν τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
Hoc fecit initium signorum Jesus in Cana Galilaeae ; et manifestavit gloriam suam, et crediderunt in eum discipuli ejus.
ወዝንቱ ቀዳሜ ተአምር ዘገብረ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ በቃና ዘገሊላ ወአርአየ ስብሐቲሁ ወአምኑ ቦቱ አርዳኢሁ።
This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
2:12
Μετὰ τοῦτο κατέβη εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἔμειναν οὐ πολλὰς ἡμέρας.
Post hoc descendit Capharnaum ipse, et mater ejus, et fratres ejus, et discipuli ejus : et ibi manserunt non multis diebus.
ወእምድኅረ ዝንቱ ወረዱ ቅፍርናሆም ውእቱ ወእሙ ወአኀዊሁ ወአርዳኢሁ ወነበሩ ህየ ኅዳጠ መዋዕለ ወአኮ ብዙኀ።
After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.
2:13
Καὶ ἐγγὺς ἦν τὸ πάσχα τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ὁ Ἰησοῦς.
Et prope erat Pascha Judaeorum, et ascendit Jesus Jerosolymam :
ወቀርበ በዓለ ፋሲካሆሙ ለአይሁድ ወዐርገ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ኢየሩሳሌም።
The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2:14
καὶ εὗρεν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τοὺς πωλοῦντας βόας καὶ πρόβατα καὶ περιστερὰς καὶ τοὺς κερματιστὰς καθημένους,
et invenit in templo vendentes boves, et oves, et columbas, et numularios sedentes.
ወረከበ በምኵራብ እለ ይሠይጡ ወይሣየጡ አልሕምተ ወአባግዐ ወአርጋበ ወመወልጣነ እንዘ ይነብሩ።
He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
2:15
καὶ ποιήσας φραγέλλιον ἐκ σχοινίων πάντας ἐξέβαλεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, τά τε πρόβατα καὶ τοὺς βόας, καὶ τῶν κολλυβιστῶν ἐξέχεεν τὸ κέρμα καὶ τὰς τραπέζας ἀνέστρεψεν,
Et cum fecisset quasi flagellum de funiculis, omnes ejecit de templo, oves quoque, et boves, et numulariorum effudit aes, et mensas subvertit.
ወገብረ መቅሠፍተ ጥብጣቤ ዘሐብል ወሰደደ ኵሎ እምኵራብ አባግዐኒ ወአልሕምተኒ ወዘረወ ወርቆሙ ለመወልጣን ወገፍትዐ ማእዳቲሆሙ ወመናብርቲሆሙ ለእለ ይሠይጡ ርግበ ገንጰለ።
He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.
2:16
καὶ τοῖς τὰς περιστερὰς πωλοῦσιν εἶπεν· ἄρατε ταῦτα ἐντεῦθεν, μὴ ποιεῖτε τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου οἶκον ἐμπορίου.
Et his qui columbas vendebant, dixit : Auferte ista hinc, et nolite facere domum patris mei, domum negotiationis.
ወይቤሎሙ ለእለ ይሠይጡ አርጋበ አሰስሉ ወአውፅኡ ዘንተ እምዝየ ወኢትረስዩ ቤተ አቡየ ቤተ ምሥያጥ።
To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
2:17
ἐμνήσθησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι γεγραμμένον ἐστίν· ὁ ζῆλος τοῦ οἴκου σου καταφάγεταί με.
Recordati sunt vero discipuli ejus quia scriptum est : Zelus domus tuae comedit me.
ወተዘከሩ አርዳኢሁ ከመ ጽሑፍ ውእቱ ዘይብል «ቅንአተ ቤትከ በልዐኒ።»
His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
2:18
ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· τί σημεῖον δεικνύεις ἡμῖν, ὅτι ταῦτα ποιεῖς;
Responderunt ergo Judaei, et dixerunt ei : Quod signum ostendis nobis, quia haec facis ?
ወአውሥእዎ አይሁድ ወይቤልዎ ምንተ ትእምርተ ታርኢ ዘዘንተ ትገብር።
The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”
2:19
ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· λύσατε τὸν ναὸν τοῦτον, καὶ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐγερῶ αὐτόν.
Respondit Jesus, et dixit eis : Solvite templum hoc, et in tribus diebus excitabo illud.
ወአውሥአ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወይቤሎሙ ንሥትዎ ለዝንቱ ቤተ መቅደስ ወበሠሉስ ዕለት አነሥኦ።
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
2:20
εἶπαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· τεσσεράκοντα καὶ ἓξ ἔτεσιν οἰκοδομήθη ὁ ναὸς οὗτος, καὶ σὺ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐγερεῖς αὐτόν;
Dixerunt ergo Judaei : Quadraginta et sex annis aedificatum est templum hoc, et tu in tribus diebus excitabis illud ?
ወይቤልዎ አይሁድ በአርብዓ ወስድስቱ ዓመት ተሐንጸ ዝንቱ ቤተ መቅደስ ወአንተሰ በሠሉስ መዋዕል ታነሥኦ።
The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”
2:21
ἐκεῖνος δὲ ἔλεγεν περὶ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ.
Ille autem dicebat de templo corporis sui.
ወውእቱሰ በእንተ ቤተ ሥጋሁ ይቤሎሙ፤
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
2:22
ὅτε οὖν ἠγέρθη ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐμνήσθησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τοῦτο ἔλεγεν, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν τῇ γραφῇ καὶ τῷ λόγῳ ὃν εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς.
Cum ergo resurrexisset a mortuis, recordati sunt discipuli ejus, quia hoc dicebat, et crediderunt scripturae et sermoni quem dixit Jesus.
ወአመ ተንሥአ እምነ ምዉታን ተዘከሩ አርዳኢሁ ከመ በእንተዝ ይቤሎሙ ወአምኑ በቃለ መጻሕፍት ወበቃለ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ዘይቤሎሙ።
When 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.
2:23
Ὡς δὲ ἦν ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν τῷ πάσχα ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, θεωροῦντες αὐτοῦ τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐποίει·
Cum autem esset Jerosolymis in Pascha in die festo, multi crediderunt in nomine ejus, videntes signa ejus, quae faciebat.
ወእንዘ ሀሎ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ኢየሩሳሌም በበዓለ ፋሲካ ብዙኃን አምኑ በስሙ ሶበ ርእዩ ተኣምረ ዘገብረ።
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
2:24
αὐτὸς δὲ Ἰησοῦς οὐκ ἐπίστευεν αὐτὸν αὐτοῖς διὰ τὸ αὐτὸν γινώσκειν πάντας,
Ipse autem Jesus non credebat semetipsum eis, eo quod ipse nosset omnes,
ወውእቱሰ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ኢየአምኖሙ እስመ የአምሮ ለኵሉ ለለ አሐዱ።
But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
2:25
καὶ ὅτι οὐ χρείαν εἶχεν ἵνα τις μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου· αὐτὸς γὰρ ἐγίνωσκεν τί ἦν ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ.
et quia opus ei non erat ut quis testimonium perhiberet de homine : ipse enim sciebat quid esset in homine.
ወኢይፈቅድ ይንግርዎ ግዕዞ ለሰብእ እስመ ለሊሁ የአምሮ ለሰብእ።
and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
