John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
et die tertio nuptiae factae sunt in Cana Galilaeae et erat mater Iesu ibi
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
vocatus est autem ibi et Iesus et discipuli eius ad nuptias
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]?”
et deficiente vino dicit mater Iesu ad eum vinum non habent
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].”
et dicit ei Iesus quid mihi et tibi est mulier nondum venit hora mea
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
dicit mater eius ministris quodcumque dixerit vobis facite
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).
erant autem ibi lapideae hydriae sex positae secundum purificationem Iudaeorum capientes singulae metretas binas vel ternas
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
dicit eis Iesus implete hydrias aqua et impleverunt eas usque ad summum
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.
et dicit eis Iesus haurite nunc et ferte architriclino et tulerunt
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,
ut autem gustavit architriclinus aquam vinum factam et non sciebat unde esset ministri autem sciebant qui haurierant aquam vocat sponsum architriclinus
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!”
et dicit ei omnis homo primum bonum vinum ponit et cum inebriati fuerint tunc id quod deterius est tu servasti bonum vinum usque adhuc
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].
hoc fecit initium signorum Iesus in Cana Galilaeae et manifestavit gloriam suam et crediderunt in eum discipuli eius
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
post hoc descendit Capharnaum ipse et mater eius et fratres eius et discipuli eius et ibi manserunt non multis diebus
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
et prope erat pascha Iudaeorum et ascendit Hierosolyma Iesus
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.
et invenit in templo vendentes boves et oves et columbas et nummularios sedentes
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.
et cum fecisset quasi flagellum de funiculis omnes eiecit de templo oves quoque et boves et nummulariorum effudit aes et mensas subvertit
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!”
et his qui columbas vendebant dixit auferte ista hinc nolite facere domum Patris mei domum negotiationis
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.”
recordati vero sunt discipuli eius quia scriptum est zelus domus tuae comedit me
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?”
responderunt ergo Iudaei et dixerunt ei quod signum ostendis nobis quia haec facis
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
respondit Iesus et dixit eis solvite templum hoc et in tribus diebus excitabo illud
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]”
dixerunt ergo Iudaei quadraginta et sex annis aedificatum est templum hoc et tu tribus diebus excitabis illud
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
ille autem dicebat de templo corporis sui
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].
cum ergo resurrexisset a mortuis recordati sunt discipuli eius quia hoc dicebat et crediderunt scripturae et sermoni quem dixit Iesus
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.
cum autem esset Hierosolymis in pascha in die festo multi crediderunt in nomine eius videntes signa eius quae faciebat
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].
ipse autem Iesus non credebat semet ipsum eis eo quod ipse nosset omnes
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
et quia opus ei non erat ut quis testimonium perhiberet de homine ipse enim sciebat quid esset in homine
