John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Tridje dagen stod det eit brudlaup i Kana i Galilæa. Mor åt Jesus var der,
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
og Jesus og læresveinarne hans vart og bedne til brudlaupet.
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]?”
Då vinen traut, segjer mor åt Jesus til honom: «Dei hev ikkje vin!»
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].”
«Kva vil du meg, kvinna?» svara Jesus; «mi tid er ikkje endå komi.»
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
«Gjer alt han segjer til dykk!» sagde mor hans til bordsveinarne.
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).
Etter di no jødarne hev for vis å två seg fyre måli, stod det der seks vats-kjer av stein; kvart av deim tok tvo eller tri anker.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
«Fyll kjeri med vatn!» segjer Jesus til bordsveinarne. Då fyllte dei kjeri heilt uppåt barden.
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.
So sagde han til deim: «Aus no upp, og ber det til kjøkemeisteren!» Dei so gjorde;
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,
men då kjøkemeisteren hadde smaka på vatnet som var vorte til vin, og ikkje visste kvar den vinen kom ifrå - men bordsveinarne visste det, dei som hadde aust upp vatnet - so ropa han på brudgomen, og sagde til honom:
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!”
«Kvar mann set fyrst fram den gode vinen, og når folk hev vorte drukne, den ringare; du hev gøymt den gode vinen til no!»
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].
Dette fyrste teiknet sitt gjorde Jesus i Kana i Galilæa, og let sin herlegdom skina fram; og læresveinarne hans trudde på honom.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Sidan for han ned til Kapernaum med mor si og brørne og læresveinarne sine, og der vart dei verande nokre få dagar.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Det leid til påskehelgi åt jødarne, og Jesus for upp til Jerusalem.
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.
I templet fann han folk som selde uksar og sauer og duvor, og andre som sat og veksla pengar.
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.
Då gjorde han seg ei svepa av reimar og dreiv deim alle ut or templet, og sauerne og uksarne med; småpengarne åt vekslarane kasta han utyver, og velte bordi deira,
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!”
og til duvekræmarane sagde han: «Burt med dette! Gjer ikkje huset åt Far min til ei krambud!»
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.”
Og læresveinarne kom i hug at det stend skrive: «Brennhug for ditt hus kjem til å eta meg upp.»
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?”
Då tok jødarne til ords og sagde til honom: «Kva teikn syner du oss, sidan du gjer dette?»
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Jesus svara: «Riv dette templet ned, og eg skal reisa det upp att på tri dagar!»
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]”
«I seks og fyrti år hev det vore bygt på dette templet, » sagde dei då, «og du vil reisa det upp att på tri dagar!»
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Men det var likams-templet sitt han tala um.
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].
Då han no hadde stade upp frå dei daude, kom læresveinarne hans i hug at han hadde sagt dette, og dei trudde Skrifti og det ordet Jesus hadde sagt.
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.
Medan han var i Jerusalem i påskehelgi, på høgtidi, trudde mange på namnet hans då dei såg dei teikni han gjorde.
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].
Men sjølv trudde Jesus seg ikkje til deim, av di han kjende alle,
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
og ikkje trong at nokon skulde vitna um noko menneskje; for han visste sjølv kva som budde i det menneskjet.
