Giăng 2
Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Tiệc cưới ở thành Ca-na, Chúa Giê-xu biến nước thành rượu
2 Ba ngày sau có một đám cưới tại thành Ca-na, xứ Ga-li-lê. Mẹ Chúa Giê-xu có mặt ở đó. 2 Chúa Giê-xu và các môn đệ cũng được mời dự tiệc cưới. 3 Khi thiếu rượu, mẹ Ngài nói với Ngài, “Người ta hết rượu rồi.”
4 Chúa Giê-xu đáp, “Thưa mẹ [a], tại sao mẹ lại xen vào chuyện của con? Chưa đến giờ con hành động.”
5 Mẹ Ngài dặn các đầy tớ, “Người bảo gì thì hãy làm y như thế.”
6 Ở đó có sáu cái lu đá đựng nước mà người Do-thái dùng cho lễ rửa sạch [b], mỗi cái chứa khoảng một trăm hai mươi lít [c] nước.
7 Chúa Giê-xu bảo những người đầy tớ, “Đổ nước thật đầy vào mấy cái lu nầy đi.” Họ liền đổ đầy tới miệng.
8 Rồi Ngài bảo, “Bây giờ múc nước ra mang đến cho người chủ tiệc.” Họ liền mang đến cho người chủ tiệc.
9 Khi ông nếm thử thì nước đã biến thành rượu. Ông không biết rượu đó từ đâu ra nhưng những đầy tớ đã múc nước thì biết rõ. Ông liền gọi chú rể 10 và nói, “Bao giờ người ta cũng đãi rượu ngon trước. Sau khi khách đã ngà ngà say rồi mới đãi rượu thường. Còn anh thì lại để dành rượu thật ngon cho đến bây giờ.”
11 Thế là tại Ca-na, miền Ga-li-lê, Chúa Giê-xu làm phép lạ đầu tiên, tỏ ra vinh hiển Ngài, nên các môn đệ tin Ngài.
12 Sau đó Chúa Giê-xu, mẹ Ngài, các em và môn đệ Ngài đến thành Ca-bê-nâm và ở đó vài hôm.
Chúa Giê-xu vào đền thờ(A)
13 Gần đến đại lễ của dân Do-thái nên Chúa Giê-xu lên thành Giê-ru-sa-lem. 14 Khi vào đền thờ, Ngài thấy người ta buôn bán bò, chiên cừu và bồ câu. Ngài cũng thấy mấy người đổi bạc đang ngồi ở bàn. 15 Ngài liền làm một cái roi bằng dây thừng và đánh đuổi tất cả ra khỏi đền thờ, từ chiên cừu cho đến bò. Ngài lật bàn và ném vung vãi tiền của những kẻ đổi bạc. 16 Rồi Ngài ra lệnh cho những kẻ bán bồ câu, “Mang hết những thứ nầy ra khỏi đây ngay lập tức! Không được phép biến nhà Cha ta thành nơi buôn bán!”
17 Chứng kiến sự việc ấy, các môn đệ Ngài liền nhớ lại lời Thánh Kinh viết,
“Lòng sốt sắng về nhà Chúa nung cháy trong tôi.”
18 Các người Do-thái hỏi Ngài, “Ông chứng tỏ phép lạ gì mà có quyền làm như vậy?”
19 Chúa Giê-xu đáp, “Phá sập đền thờ nầy đi, ta sẽ dựng lại trong ba ngày cho xem.”
20 Người Do-thái bảo, “Người ta phải mất bốn mươi sáu năm mới xây xong đền thờ nầy mà ông bảo ông sẽ xây lại nổi trong ba ngày thôi à?”
21 Nhưng đền thờ mà Chúa Giê-xu muốn nói là thân thể Ngài. 22 Vì thế sau khi Ngài sống lại từ kẻ chết, thì các môn đệ nhớ lại lời Ngài nói, liền tin lời Thánh Kinh và lời Chúa Giê-xu đã bảo.
23 Đang khi Chúa Giê-xu dự đại lễ Vượt Qua ở Giê-ru-sa-lem, có nhiều người tin theo Ngài vì họ thấy những phép lạ Ngài làm. 24 Nhưng Chúa Giê-xu không tin họ [d], vì Ngài hiểu mọi người. 25 Ngài cũng không cần ai nói với Ngài về người nào vì Ngài hiểu thấu lòng dạ con người.

变水为酒
2 第三天，在加利利的迦拿有人举办婚宴，耶稣的母亲在那里。 2 耶稣和门徒也被邀请去赴宴。 3 酒喝完了，耶稣的母亲就对祂说：“他们没有酒了。” 4 耶稣说：“妇人，这跟你我有什么相干[a]？我的时候还没有到。” 5 祂母亲对仆人说：“祂叫你们做什么，你们就做什么。” 6 那里有六口犹太人用来行洁净礼仪的石缸，每口可以盛约一百升水。
7 耶稣对仆人说：“把缸倒满水！”他们就往缸里倒水，一直满到缸口。 8 耶稣又说：“现在可以舀些出来，送给宴席总管。”他们就送了去。 9 那些仆人知道这酒是怎样来的，宴席总管却不知道。他尝过那水变的酒后，便把新郎叫来， 10 对他说：“人们都是先拿好酒款待客人，等客人喝够了，才把次等的拿出来，你却把好酒留到现在！” 11 这是耶稣第一次行神迹，是在加利利的迦拿行的，彰显了祂的荣耀，门徒都信了祂。
12 这事以后，耶稣和祂的母亲、弟弟并门徒一起去迦百农住了几天。
洁净圣殿
13 犹太人的逾越节快到了，耶稣便上耶路撒冷去。 14 祂看见圣殿区有人在卖牛羊和鸽子，还有人在兑换银币， 15 就用绳索做成鞭子把牛羊赶出去，倒掉钱商的银币，推翻他们的桌子， 16 又对卖鸽子的说：“把这些东西拿出去！不要把我父的殿当作市场。” 17 祂的门徒想起圣经上说：“我对你的殿充满炙热的爱。”
18 当时，犹太人质问祂：“你给我们显什么神迹来证明你有权这样做？”
19 耶稣回答说：“你们拆毁这座殿，我三天之内会把它重建起来。”
20 他们说：“这座殿用了四十六年才建成，你三天之内就要把它重建起来吗？” 21 其实耶稣说的殿是指自己的身体， 22 所以等到祂从死里复活以后，祂的门徒想起这句话，就相信了圣经和耶稣所传的道。
23 耶稣在耶路撒冷过逾越节期间，许多人看见祂行的神迹，就信了祂。 24 耶稣却不信任他们，因为祂洞悉万人。 25 不用别人告诉祂，祂也深知人的内心。

變水為酒
2 第三天，在加利利的迦拿有人舉辦婚宴，耶穌的母親在那裡。 2 耶穌和門徒也被邀請去赴宴。 3 酒喝完了，耶穌的母親就對祂說：「他們沒有酒了。」 4 耶穌說：「婦人，這跟你我有什麼相干[a]？我的時候還沒有到。」 5 祂母親對僕人說：「祂叫你們做什麼，你們就做什麼。」 6 那裡有六口猶太人用來行潔淨禮儀的石缸，每口可以盛約一百升水。
7 耶穌對僕人說：「把缸倒滿水！」他們就往缸裡倒水，一直滿到缸口。 8 耶穌又說：「現在可以舀些出來，送給宴席總管。」他們就送了去。 9 那些僕人知道這酒是怎樣來的，宴席總管卻不知道。他嚐過那水變的酒後，便把新郎叫來， 10 對他說：「人們都是先拿好酒款待客人，等客人喝夠了，才把次等的拿出來，你卻把好酒留到現在！」 11 這是耶穌第一次行神蹟，是在加利利的迦拿行的，彰顯了祂的榮耀，門徒都信了祂。
12 這事以後，耶穌和祂的母親、弟弟並門徒一起去迦百農住了幾天。
潔淨聖殿
13 猶太人的逾越節快到了，耶穌便上耶路撒冷去。 14 祂看見聖殿區有人在賣牛羊和鴿子，還有人在兌換銀幣， 15 就用繩索做成鞭子把牛羊趕出去，倒掉錢商的銀幣，推翻他們的桌子， 16 又對賣鴿子的說：「把這些東西拿出去！不要把我父的殿當作市場。」 17 祂的門徒想起聖經上說：「我對你的殿充滿炙熱的愛。」
18 當時，猶太人質問祂：「你給我們顯什麼神蹟來證明你有權這樣做？」
19 耶穌回答說：「你們拆毀這座殿，我三天之內會把它重建起來。」
20 他們說：「這座殿用了四十六年才建成，你三天之內就要把它重建起來嗎？」 21 其實耶穌說的殿是指自己的身體， 22 所以等到祂從死裡復活以後，祂的門徒想起這句話，就相信了聖經和耶穌所傳的道。
23 耶穌在耶路撒冷過逾越節期間，許多人看見祂行的神蹟，就信了祂。 24 耶穌卻不信任他們，因為祂洞悉萬人。 25 不用別人告訴祂，祂也深知人的內心。

King James Version
2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
John 2

The marriage at Cana
2 Two days after that, there was a marriage party. It was in the town of Cana, in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there. 2 People had asked Jesus and his disciples to come to the party too. 3 When people had drunk all the wine, Jesus' mother said to him, ‘They have no more wine.’ 4 Jesus replied, ‘Woman, why do you tell me this? It is not my time yet.’ 5 His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you to do.’
6 There were six big pots there. People had used stone to make them. Each pot could contain about 100 litres of water. The water was there so that the Jews could wash themselves in the way that their special rules taught. 7 Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the pots with water.’ So they filled the pots to the top. 8 Then he said, ‘Now take some of the water from the pots and give it to the master of the party.’ So they did that. 9 The master of the party tasted the water. The water had now become wine! The master did not know where the wine had come from. But the servants who had given it to him knew about it. Then the master asked the new husband to come to him. 10 The master said to him, ‘Everyone else brings out the best wine first. When people have had plenty to drink, then they give people cheaper wine. But you are different. You have kept the best wine until now.’
11 Jesus did this first miracle at Cana, in Galilee. In this way, Jesus showed how great and powerful he was. And his disciples believed in him.
Jesus goes to the temple
12 After this, Jesus went to a town called Capernaum. His mother, his brothers and his disciples went with him. They stayed there for a few days.[a]
13 It was almost time for the Jewish Passover festival. So Jesus went to Jerusalem.[b] 14 He went into the yard of the temple. There he found people who were selling cows, sheep and doves. Other people were sitting at tables to change coins for people. 15 So Jesus made a whip from some pieces of rope. Then he made all the people leave the temple quickly, with the sheep and the cows. He threw onto the ground all the coins of the men who changed money. He turned their tables over. 16 He said to the people who sold birds, ‘Take them out of here! Do not make my Father's house into a market!’ 17 His disciples remembered what it says in the Bible: ‘My love for your house burns inside me like a fire.’[c]
18 Then the Jews asked Jesus, ‘What is your authority to do this? Do a miracle to show us that you really do have authority.’ 19 Jesus answered them, ‘If you destroy this house of God, I will build it up again in three days.’ 20 The Jews replied, ‘People have worked for 46 years to build this house. But you say that you will build it again in three days!’ 21 But the house that Jesus was speaking about was his own body. 22 The disciples remembered this when Jesus had become alive again after his death. They remembered that he had said this. Then they believed what the Bible taught. They also believed the words that Jesus had spoken.
23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover festival, he did many miracles.[d] Many people saw these miracles that showed he was from God. As a result, they believed in Jesus. 24 But Jesus himself did not trust the people. He knew what all people are really like. 25 He did not need anyone to tell him what people are like. He knew already what was really in each person.

They remembered the time, many years before, when God had led their ancestors out of Egypt. God had saved them so that they did not have to be slaves to Egypt's people. He had killed all the oldest sons of Egypt's people. But he had saved the Jewish sons of Israel's people. He told the Jews that they must put a lamb's blood on the wood over the top and on the sides of their doors. If the blood was there, their oldest sons would not die. See Exodus 12.
