OET (OET-LV) Is_saying to_them the Yaʸsous:
Fill the waterpots with_water.
And they_filled them to upward.

OET (OET-RV) So Yeshua told them to fill the jars with water, and they filled them up.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–12: Jesus changed water into wine

In this section Jesus, his disciples, and his mother went to a wedding. The guests there drank all the wine that the host had provided. Jesus’ mother told Jesus that there was no more wine, and then she told the servants to obey Jesus.

Jesus told the servants to fill the water jars with water. When they did that, he told them to serve some to the man in charge of the wedding. The man tasted it and said that the bridegroom had saved the best wine until the end of the wedding. This miracle convinced Jesus’ disciples to believe in him.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus did a miracle at a wedding

The wedding at Cana

Paragraph 2:6–10

This is the climax (the most important part) of the story. The servants filled six large water jars with water. When they poured some out, it had become very good wine.

2:7a

Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.”

Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.”: The pots may have once been full, but as people washed, they emptied them. Jesus wanted to make sure all of them were full.

In some languages it is more natural to use indirect speech here. For example:

Jesus told the servants to fill the jars/pots with water.

Jesus told the servants to fill them to the top with water. (CEV)

2:7b

So they filled them to the brim.

So they filled them to the brim: The pronoun they refers to the servants. The servants filled the water pots.

filled…to the brim: The phrase “fill to the brim” is an English idiom meaning to fill completely, to the very top.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

They filled each pot until it was completely full of water.

So they filled them up to the very top. (NET)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Γεμίσατε τάς ὑδρίας ὕδατος Καί ἐγέμισαν αὐτάς ἕως ἄνω)

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

Here, them refers to the servants at the wedding. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [to the servants]

ἕως ἄνω

to upward

The brim is the top edge of the water pot. Alternate translation: [to the very top]
