OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous is_saying to_her:
What to_me and to_you, woman?
The hour of_me is_ not_yet _coming.
OET (OET-RV) Yeshua answered, “What does that have to do with us, mother? It’s not the time for my ministry yet.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει
/is/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
γύναι
woman
Woman here refers to Mary. If it is impolite for a son to call his mother “woman” in your language, you can use another word that is polite, or leave it out.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, γύναι?
what ˱to˲_me and ˱to˲_you woman
Jesus is using the question form for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Woman, this has nothing to do with me or you]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
οὔπω ἥκει ἡ ὥρα μου
not_yet /is/_coming the hour ˱of˲_me
The word hour refers to the right occasion for Jesus to show that he is the Messiah by working miracles. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [It is not yet the right time for me to perform a mighty act]
2:4 Jesus initially distanced himself from the problem. His mission and its timing could not be set by a human agenda.
• Jesus’ time (literally hour) would come in the future when he was glorified as he was lifted up on the cross (12:23; 17:1).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
