John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
三日目にガリレアのカナに婚筵ありて、イエズスの母其處に居れるに、
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
イエズスも弟子等と共に招かれ給へり。
3 When the guests had drunk all the wine [that was there], Jesus’ mother said to him, “The wine is all gone; [can you do something about that]?”
酒盡きければ、母イエズスに向ひ、彼等酒なし、と云ひしに、
4 Jesus said to her, “Ma’am/Woman, (do not [tell] me [what to do]!/why do you [tell] me [what to do]?) [RHQ] It is not yet time [MTY] [to show] that I am [the Messiah by working miracles].”
イエズス、婦人よ、其は我と汝とに何かある、我時未だ來らずと曰ひしかば、
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
母は給仕等に向ひて、彼が汝等に言ふ所は、何にもあれ之を為せ、と言置けり。
6 There were six [empty] stone jars there. The Jews [habitually put water in them] to use for washing things [to make them acceptable to God]. Each jar held (20 to 30 gallons/80 to 120 liters).
然てユデア人が潔の習慣に随ひて、其處に二三斗入の石甕六個備へありしが、
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
イエズス給仕等に、水を甕に満てよ、と曰ひければ、彼等口まで満たししに、
8 Then he told them, “Now, ladle out some [of it] and take it (to the head waiter/to the master of ceremonies).” So the servants did that.
イエズス又、今汲取りて筵司に持行け、と曰ひしかば即ち持行けり。
9 (The head waiter/The master of ceremonies) tasted the water, which had now become wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants who had ladled out the wine knew. [The wine was delicious]! So he called the bridegroom over,
筵司、酒に化したる水を嘗むるや、給仕等は其由りて來る所を知れども己は之を知らざれば、新郎を呼び、
10 and said to him, “Everyone [else] serves the best wine first. Then when the guests have drunk so much [that they cannot tell the difference], [they serve] the cheap wine. But you [have not done what others do]. You have kept the best wine until now!”
之に向ひて、誰も先佳酒を出して、人々の酔へるに至りて劣れる物を出すに、汝は佳酒を今まで取置けるよ、と云へり。
11 That was the first miracle that Jesus did. He did it in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. By doing it he showed how awesome he is, and as a result, [we] his disciples believed that he [truly was the Messiah].
是イエズスの奇蹟の始にして、之をガリレアのカナに行ひ、己が光榮を顕し給ひしかば、弟子等之を信仰せり。
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
其後イエズス、母、兄弟、及び弟子等と共に、カファルナウムに下り給ひしが、皆其處に留る事久しからざりき。 第一款 イエズス過越祭に上り給ふ 第二項 各地に於る布教 ユデア人の過越祭近づきければ、イエズスエルザレムに上り、
14 There, in the Temple [courtyard], he saw some men who were selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons [for sacrifices]. He also saw men who were sitting at tables, [making a big profit as they] gave people [Temple tax] coins in exchange for [their Roman] coins.
[神]殿の内にて牛、羊、鴿を売る人々、及び坐せる兩替屋等を見給ひしかば、
15 Then Jesus made a whip from some cords and [used it to] chase out the sheep and cattle from the Temple [courtyard]. By overturning their tables he scattered the coins of the men who were exchanging them.
縄を以て鞭めきたる物を作り、彼等を悉く[神]殿より逐出し、羊、牛をも逐出し、兩替屋の金を抛散して其案を覆し、
16 He said to those who were selling doves, “Take these doves away [from here]! Stop [defiling] my Father’s Temple [by] making it a market!”
鴿を売る人々に向ひて、此物等を取退けよ、我父の家を商買の家と為すな、と曰へり。
17 Then [we] disciples remembered that these words had been written {that [someone/David] had written [these words]} [in the Scriptures prophesying what the Messiah would say]: “Others [PRS] will strongly oppose me because I greatly desire that [people respect] your Sacred Tent.”
弟子等は、録して「汝の家に對する熱心は我を食盡せり」とあるを思出せり。
18 So [one of] the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied to him, “What miracle will you perform to show us that [you have authority from God] to do these things?”
斯てユデア人答へてイエズスに云ひけるは、汝如何なる徴を現して此等の事を為すぞ、と。
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
イエズス答へて、汝等此[神]殿を毀て、我三日の中に之を起さん、と曰ひしかば、
20 So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “We have been building this Temple for 46 years [and it is not finished yet]! So (there is no way you will build it within three days!/how will you build it within three days?) [RHQ]”
ユデア人云ひけるは、此[神]殿は、造るに四十六年を要せしに、汝三日の中に之を起すべきか、と。
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
但しイエズスは、己が體の[神]殿を斥して曰ひしなり。
22 [Later], after Jesus had [died and had] become alive again, [we] his disciples remembered the words he had said. As a result, we believed [what had been prophesied in] the Scriptures [about the Messiah becoming alive again], and we believed that what Jesus said [was true].
然れば死者の中より復活し給へる後、弟子等此曰ひたりし事を思出して、聖書とイエズスの曰ひし御言とを信ぜり。
23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many people came to believe [that he was the Messiah] because they saw the miracles he was performing.
イエズス過越の祭日に當りてエルザレムに居給ふ間、多くの人、其為し給へる奇蹟を視て、御名を信じたり。
24 But he did not let them tell him what he should do [as the Messiah], because he knew within himself what they were all [thinking].
然れどイエズスは、此等に身を打任せ給はざりき、其は自ら凡ての人を知り、
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
又人の心に在る事を知り給へば、人に就て他人の證明を要し給はざる故なり。
