Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
ὡς δὲ ἦν ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις
when and ˱he˲_was in ¬the Jerusalem
Now here introduces a new event that happened some time after the events the story has just related. The story does not say how long after the previous events this new event happened. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new event. Alternate translation: “Some time later in Jerusalem”
ἐν τῷ Πάσχα ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ
in at the Passover at the feast
These two phrases could refer to: (1) two different parts of the festival, the Passover referring to the first day of the festival, and the festival referring to the Festival of Unleavened Bread that begins at Passover and was one week long. Alternate translation: “at the Passover, during the Festival of Unleavened Bread” (2) the same event. Alternate translation: “at the Passover festival”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐπίστευσαν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ
believed on the name ˱of˲_him
Here, name represents the person of Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “believed in him” or “trusted in him”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
θεωροῦντες αὐτοῦ τὰ σημεῖα
observing ˱of˲_him the signs
Here, seeing indicates the reason why the people were believing in Jesus. These people were only believing in Jesus because of the miracles he performed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “because they saw his signs”
τὰ σημεῖα
the signs
See how you translated signs in 2:11. See also the discussion of signs in Part 3 of the General Introduction to the Gospel of John. Alternate translation: “significant miracles”
2:1-25 In this section, Jesus appeared at two symbolic Jewish ceremonies. At a wedding in Cana (2:1-12), he replaced the ritual cleansing water with his own superior wine. Later, around Passover, he cleansed the Temple (2:13-25).
OET (OET-LV) And when he_was in the Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim) at the passover_feast at the feast, many believed on the name of_him, observing of_him the signs which he_was_doing.
OET (OET-RV) When Yeshua was at the Passover Feast in Yerusalem, many believed in his authority because they saw the miracles that he was able to do.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
