It's the Wedding at Cana.
The text is in Swedish, written with Gothic script (this was common up to the end of the nineteenth century in Sweden). The text is
... madd [sic!], som blir smakelig. Om Bröllopet i Kana i Galileen. JOHannis 2 Kap
In English
... food that becomes well tasting. About the wedding in Cana in Galilee. Chapter 2 of John.
The original painting was probably done by Johannes Nilsson, from Halland (this would explain the odd spelling "madd", as that is a souther Swedish dialectal pronounciation), in 1812, or at least someone copying him. Here is a version of the same motif he did in 1797, from Hallands Konstmuseum:
You can clearly see that it's mostly the same composition, though reversed, and with fewer figures and less ornaments. He also used this spelling "madd" at least once, but the rest of the text does not match.

I own it now! Purchased from previous owner in Sandviken outside the town of Gävle. He told me the story of its visit to Spain. This exact painting was featured at an exhibition in Barcelona. It’s a copy of an original. However a good one made probably turn of century 1800-1900.
