Juan 2
1 Dos días después, se estaba celebrando una boda en Caná de Galilea y la madre de Jesús estaba allí.
Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Jesús y sus discípulos también habían sido invitados a la boda.
Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
3 El vino se acabó, así que la madre de Jesús le dijo: “No tienen más vino”.
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]?”
4 “Madre, ¿por qué deberías involucrarme? Mi tiempo no ha llegado aún”, respondió él.
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].”
5 Su madre dijo a los sirvientes: “Hagan todo lo que él les diga”.
Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
6 Cerca de allí había seis tinajas que usaban los judíos para la purificación ceremonial, en cada una cabían veinte o treinta galones.
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).
7 “Llenen las tinajas con agua”, les dijo Jesús. Así que ellos las llenaron por completo.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
8 Luego les dijo: “Sirvan un poco y llévenlo al maestro de ceremonias”. Entonces ellos sirvieron un poco.
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.
9 El maestro de ceremonias no sabía de dónde había venido, solamente los sirvientes lo sabían. Pero cuando probó el agua que había sido convertida en vino, llamó al esposo.
(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,
10 “Todo el mundo sirve primero el mejor vino”, le dijo, “y cuando las personas ya han bebido suficiente, entonces sirven el vino más barato. ¡Pero tú has servido el mejor vino hasta el final!”
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!”
11 Esta fue la primera de las señales milagrosas de Jesús, y fue realizada en Caná de Galilea. Aquí él dio a conocer su gloria, y sus discípulos pusieron su confianza en él.
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].
12 Después de esto, Jesús partió hacia Capernaúm con su madre, sus hermanos y sus discípulos, y se quedaron allí unos pocos días.
Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Como ya casi era la fecha de la Pascua de los Judíos, Jesús se fue a Jerusalén.
Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
14 En el Templo, encontró personas vendiendo ganado, ovejas y palomas; y los cambistas de monedas estaban sentados en sus mesas.
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.
15 Él elaboró un látigo con cuerdas y los hizo salir a todos del Templo, junto con las ovejas y el ganado, esparciendo las monedas de los cambistas y volteando sus mesas.
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.
16 Ordenó a los vendedores de palomas: “¡Saquen todas estas cosas de aquí! ¡No conviertan la casa de mi Padre en un mercado!”
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!”
17 Sus discípulos recordaron la Escritura que dice: “¡Mi devoción por tu casa es como un fuego que arde dentro de mí!”
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.”
18 Los líderes judíos reaccionaron, preguntándole: “¿Qué derecho tienes para hacer esto? ¡Muéstranos una señal milagrosa para probarlo!”
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?”
19 Jesús respondió: “¡Destruyan este Templo, y en tres días lo levantaré!”
Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
20 “Tomó cuarenta y seis años construir este Templo, ¿y tú vas a levantarlo en tres días?” respondieron los líderes judíos.
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]”
21 Pero el Templo del cual hablaba Jesús era su cuerpo.
But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
22 Después que Jesús se levantó de entre los muertos, sus discípulos recordaron lo que él dijo, y por esto creyeron en la Escritura y en las propias palabras de Jesús.
[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].
23 Como resultado de los milagros que Jesús hizo mientras estuvo en Jerusalén durante la Pascua, muchos creyeron en él.
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.
24 Pero Jesús mismo no se confiaba de ellos, porque él conocía a todas las personas.
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].
25 Él no necesitaba que nadie le hablara acerca de la naturaleza humana porque él conocía cómo pensaban las personas.
He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
