Juan 2
1 Al tercer día, hubo una boda en Caná de Galilea. 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 También Jesús fue invitado, con sus discípulos, a la boda.
Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
3 Cuando se acabó el vino, la madre de Jesús le dijo: “No tienen 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 Jesús le dijo: “Mujer, ¿qué tiene que ver eso contigo y conmigo? Todavía no ha llegado mi hora”.
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 criados: “Haced lo que os diga”.
Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
6 Habían allí seis vasijas de piedra, colocadas según la costumbre judía de purificación, y en cada una cabían dos o tres metretas.
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 Jesús les dijo: “Llenen de agua las tinajas”. Así que las llenaron hasta el borde.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
8 Les dijo: “Sacad ahora un poco y llevadlo al jefe de la fiesta.” Así que lo llevaron.
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 Cuando el dueño del banquete probó el agua convertida en vino, y no sabía de dónde procedía (pero los criados que habían sacado el agua sí lo sabían), el dueño del banquete llamó al novio
(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 y le dijo: “Todos sirven primero el vino bueno, y cuando los invitados hayan bebido libremente, entonces el que es peor. ¡Tú has guardado el vino bueno hasta ahora!”
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 Este principio de sus milagros lo hizo Jesús en Caná de Galilea, y reveló su gloria; y sus discípulos creyeron 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, bajó a Capernaúm, él y su madre, sus hermanos y sus discípulos; y se quedaron allí unos días.
Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Se acercaba la Pascua de los judíos, y Jesús subió a Jerusalén.
Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
14 Encontró en el templo a los que vendían bueyes, ovejas y palomas, y a los cambistas sentados.
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 Hizo un látigo de cuerdas y expulsó a todos del templo, tanto a las ovejas como a los bueyes; y a los cambistas les desparramó el dinero y derribó 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 A los que vendían las palomas les dijo: “¡Sacad esto de aquí! No hagáis de la casa de mi Padre 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 que estaba escrito: “El celo por tu casa me consumirá”.
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 judíos le respondieron: “¿Qué señal nos muestras, ya que haces estas cosas?”
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 les respondió: “Destruid 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 Los judíos, por tanto, dijeron: “¡Se necesitaron cuarenta y seis años para construir este templo! ¿Lo levantarás en tres días?”
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 él hablaba del templo de su cuerpo.
But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
22 Por eso, cuando resucitó de entre los muertos, sus discípulos se acordaron de que había dicho esto, y creyeron en la Escritura y en la palabra que Jesús había dicho.
[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 Estando en Jerusalén en la Pascua, durante la fiesta, muchos creyeron en su nombre, observando las señales que hacía.
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 no se confiaba de ellos, porque conocía a todos,
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 y porque no necesitaba que nadie diera testimonio acerca del hombre, pues él mismo sabía lo que había en el hombre.
He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
