John 2
1 Two days later there was a wedding [celebration] in Cana [town], in Galilee [district]. Jesus’ mother was there.
Og på den tredje dag var det et bryllup i Kana i Galilea, og Jesu mor var der;
2 Jesus and [we] his disciples [were also there, because] we had been invited {someone had invited us} also.
men også Jesus og hans disipler var innbudt til bryllupet.
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]?”
Og da det blev mangel på vin, sa Jesu mor til ham: De har ikke 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].”
Jesus sa til henne: Hvad har jeg med dig å gjøre, kvinne? Min time er ennu ikke kommet.
5 Then Jesus’ mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!”
Hans mor sa til tjenerne: Hvad han sier eder, det skal I gjøre.
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).
Nu stod der, efter jødenes renselsesskikk, seks vannkar av sten, hvert på to eller tre anker.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled the jars to the brim.
Jesus sa til dem: Fyll karene med vann! Og de fylte dem til randen.
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.
Så sa han til dem: Øs nu op og bær det til kjøkemesteren! Og de bar det til ham.
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 da kjøkemesteren smakte vannet som var blitt til vin, og ikke visste hvor den kom fra - men tjenerne som hadde øst vannet, de visste det - da kalte kjøkemesteren på brudgommen og sa til ham:
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!”
Hver mann setter først den gode vin frem, og når de er blitt drukne, da den ringere; du har gjemt den gode vin til nu.
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 sitt første tegn gjorde Jesus i Kana i Galilea og åpenbarte sin herlighet; og hans disipler trodde på ham.
12 Jesus then went down to Capernaum [city] with his mother and [younger] brothers and [us] his disciples. We stayed there several days.
Derefter drog han ned til Kapernaum, han selv og hans mor og hans brødre og hans disipler, og der blev de nogen få dager.
13 Later, when it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], Jesus [and we his disciples] went up to Jerusalem.
Og jødenes påske var nær, og Jesus drog op 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.
Og i templet fant han dem som solgte okser og får og duer, og pengevekslerne som satt der,
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.
og han gjorde sig en svepe av rep og drev alle ut av templet, både fårene og oksene, og pengevekslernes penger spilte han, og deres bord veltet han,
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 due-kremmerne sa han: Ta dette bort herfra! gjør ikke min Faders hus til en handelsbod!
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.”
Men hans disipler kom i hu at det er skrevet: Nidkjærhet for ditt hus skal fortære mig.
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 tok jødene til orde og sa til ham: Hvad for tegn viser du oss, siden du gjør dette?
19 Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”
Jesus svarte og sa til dem: Bryt dette tempel ned, og på tre dager skal jeg gjenreise det.
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 sa jødene: I seks og firti år har det vært bygget på dette tempel, og du vil gjenreise det på tre dager?
21 But when Jesus said that about the temple, [he was really talking about] his own body.
Men han talte om sitt legemes tempel.
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 han nu var opstanden fra de døde, kom hans disipler i hu at han hadde sagt dette, og de trodde Skriften og det ord som 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.
Mens han nu var i Jerusalem i påsken, på høitiden, trodde mange på hans navn da de så de tegn 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 Jesus selv betrodde sig ikke til dem, fordi han kjente 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 fordi han ikke trengte til at nogen skulde vidne om et menneske; for han visste selv hvad som bodde i mennesket.
