Juan 2
1 Y al tercer día se hicieron unas bodas en Caná de Galilea; y estaba allí la madre de Jesús.
Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
2 Y fue también llamado Jesús y sus discípulos a las bodas.
Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
3 Y faltando el vino, la madre de Jesús le dijo: Vino no tienen.
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 Y le dice Jesús: ¿Qué tengo yo contigo, mujer? Aún no ha venido 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 dice a los que servían: Haced todo lo que os dijere.
Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
6 Y estaban allí seis tinajuelas de piedra para agua, conforme a la purificación de los judíos, que cabían en cada una dos o tres cántaros.
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 Les dice Jesús: Llenad estas tinajuelas de agua. Y las llenaron hasta arriba.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
8 Y les dice: Sacad ahora, y presentad al maestresala. Y le presentaron.
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 Y cuando el maestresala gustó el agua hecha vino, que no sabía de dónde era; (mas los que servían, lo sabían, quienes habían sacado el agua), el maestresala llama 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 Y le dice: Todo hombre pone primero el buen vino, y cuando ya están satisfechos, entonces lo que es peor; mas tú has guardado el buen vino 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 los señales hizo el Señor en Caná de Galilea, y manifestó 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 descendió a Capernaum, él, su madre, y sus hermanos, y sus discípulos; y estuvieron allí no muchos días.
Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
13 Y estaba cerca la Pascua de los judíos; y subió Jesús a Jerusalén.
Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
14 Y halló en el Templo a los que vendían bueyes, y ovejas, y palomas, y a los cambiadores de dinero 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 Y hecho un azote de cuerdas, los echó a todos del Templo, y las ovejas, y los bueyes; y derramó los dineros de los cambiadores, y trastornó las 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 y a los que vendían las palomas, dijo: Quitad de aquí esto; no hagáis la Casa de mi Padre casa de 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 Entonces se acordaron sus discípulos que está escrito: El celo de tu Casa me consumió.
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 Y los judíos respondieron, y le dijeron: ¿Qué señal nos muestras de que haces esto?
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 Respondió Jesús, y les dijo: Desatad este templo, y en tres días yo lo levantaré.
Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
20 Dijeron luego los judíos: En cuarenta y seis años fue este templo edificado, ¿y tú en tres días lo levantarás?
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 Mas 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 tanto, cuando resucitó de los muertos, sus discípulos se acordaron que les había dicho esto; y creyeron a la Escritura, y a 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 Y estando en Jerusalén en la Pascua, en el día de la Fiesta, muchos creyeron en su nombre, viendo 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 Mas el mismo Jesús no se confiaba a sí mismo de ellos, porque él 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 no tenía necesidad que alguien le diese testimonio del hombre; porque él 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].
