John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Und am dritten Tage ward eine Hochzeit zu Kana in Galiläa; und die Mutter Jesu war da.
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
Jesus aber und seine Jünger wurden auch auf die Hochzeit geladen.
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]?”
Und da es an Wein gebrach, spricht die Mutter Jesu zu ihm: Sie haben nicht Wein.
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].”
Jesus spricht zu ihr: Weib, was habe ich mit dir zu schaffen? Meine Stunde ist noch nicht kommen.
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Seine Mutter spricht zu den Dienern: Was er euch saget, das tut.
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).
Es waren aber allda sechs steinerne Wasserkrüge gesetzt nach der Weise der jüdischen Reinigung, und gingen in je einen zwei oder drei Maß.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Jesus spricht zu ihnen: Füllet die Wasserkrüge mit Wasser. Und sie fülleten sie bis obenan.
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.
Und er spricht zu ihnen: Schöpfet nun und bringet's dem Speisemeister. Und sie brachten's.
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,
Als aber der Speisemeister kostete den Wein, der Wasser gewesen war, und wußte nicht, von wannen er kam (die Diener aber wußten's, die das Wasser geschöpft hatten), rufet der Speisemeister den Bräutigam
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!”
und spricht zu ihm: Jedermann gibt zum ersten guten Wein, und wenn sie trunken worden sind, alsdann den geringern; du hast den guten Wein bisher behalten.
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].
Das ist das erste Zeichen, das Jesus tat, geschehen zu Kana in Galiläa und offenbarte seine HERRLIchkeit. Und seine Jünger glaubten an ihn.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Danach zog er hinab gen Kapernaum, er, seine Mutter, seine Brüder und seine Jünger, und blieben nicht lange daselbst.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Und der Juden Ostern war nahe. Und Jesus zog hinauf gen 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.
und fand im Tempel sitzen, die da Ochsen, Schafe und Tauben feil hatten, und die Wechsler.
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.
Und er machte eine Geißel aus Stricken und trieb sie alle zum Tempel hinaus samt den Schafen und Ochsen und verschüttete den Wechslern das Geld und stieß die Tische um.
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!”
Und sprach zu denen, die die Tauben feil hatten: Traget das von dannen und machet nicht meines Vaters Haus zum Kaufhause!
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.”
Seine Jünger aber gedachten daran, daß geschrieben stehet: Der Eifer um dein Haus hat mich gefressen.
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?”
Da antworteten nun die Juden und sprachen zu ihm: Was zeigst du uns für ein Zeichen, daß du solches tun mögest?
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Brechet diesen Tempel, und am dritten Tage will ich ihn aufrichten.
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]”
Da sprachen die Juden: Dieser Tempel ist in sechsundvierzig Jahren erbauet, und du willst ihn in dreien Tagen aufrichten?
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Er aber redete von dem Tempel seines Leibes.
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].
Da er nun auferstanden war von den Toten, gedachten seine Jünger daran, daß er dies gesagt hatte, und glaubten der Schrift und der Rede, die Jesus gesagt hatte.
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.
Als er aber zu Jerusalem war in den Ostern auf dem Fest, glaubten viele an seinen Namen, da sie die Zeichen sahen, die er tat.
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].
Aber Jesus vertrauete sich ihnen nicht; denn er kannte sie alle
25 He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were [thinking and wanting].
und bedurfte nicht, daß jemand Zeugnis gäbe von einem Menschen; denn er wußte wohl, was im Menschen war.
