καὶ-> coordinating conjunction -> and
λέγει-> third person, singular, present, active, indicative verb -> says.CER said
αὐτῇ-> third person, personal, feminine, dative pronoun -> to her
ὁ-> masculine, singular, nominative article -> the NRIEH**
Ἰησοῦς-> masculine, singular, nominative, proper noun -> Jesus
τί-> neuter, singular, nominative, interrogative pronoun -> what
ἐμοὶ-> first person, personal, singular, dative pronoun -> to me
καὶ: coordinating conjunction -> and
σοί-> second person, personal, singular, dative pronoun -> to you
γύναι-> feminine, singular, vocative noun -> woman
οὔπω-> temporal adverb -> not yet
ἥκει-> third person, present, singular, active, indicative verb -> comes
ἡ-> feminine, singular, nominative article -> the
ὥρα-> feminine, singular, nominative noun -> hour
μου-> first person, personal, singular, genitive pronoun -> of mine
The -> of this verse is,
And Jesus says to her, “Woman, what to me, and to you?’ The hour of mine is not yet come.
*CER: indicates a non-literal, but good translation. In the first example here, the verb “ἔρχεται” is present tense, which in the indicative mood often can be rendered in the aorist tense, since it expresses linear action not in the present but at some point in the past. The designation CER is equivalent to “Contextual English Rendering”.</span>
**NRIEH: For the sake of clarity the word is translated into English, but to avoid such odd constructions as applying a definite article (“the”) to a substantive sufficiently determined by its being a proper noun, or by the use of a qualifier other than the definite article. An example would be the basic translation “Peter said to the Jesus”; the word “the” is completely unnecessary. There are many examples of this in the New Testament. The designation NRIEH is equivalent to “Not Rendered Into English Here”.
