Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Und als der Tag der Pfingsten erfüllt wurde, waren sie alle an einem Orte beisammen.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
Und plötzlich geschah aus dem Himmel ein Brausen, wie von einem daherfahrenden, gewaltigen Winde, und erfüllte das ganze Haus, wo sie saßen.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
Und es erschienen ihnen zerteilte Zungen wie von Feuer, und sie setzten sich auf jeden einzelnen von ihnen.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Und sie wurden alle mit Heiligem Geiste erfüllt und fingen an, in anderen Sprachen zu reden, wie der Geist ihnen gab auszusprechen.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
Es wohnten aber in Jerusalem Juden, gottesfürchtige Männer, von jeder Nation derer, die unter dem Himmel sind.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
Als sich aber das Gerücht hiervon verbreitete, kam die Menge zusammen und wurde bestürzt, weil jeder einzelne in seiner eigenen Mundart sie reden hörte.
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
Sie entsetzten sich aber alle und verwunderten sich und sagten: Siehe, sind nicht alle diese, die da reden, Galiläer?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
Und wie hören wir sie, ein jeder in unserer eigenen Mundart, in der wir geboren sind:
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
Parther und Meder und Elamiter, und die Bewohner von Mesopotamien und von Judäa und Kappadocien, Pontus und Asien,
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
und Phrygien und Pamphylien, Ägypten und den Gegenden von Libyen gegen Kyrene hin, und die hier weilenden Römer, sowohl Juden als Proselyten, Kreter und Araber-
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
wie hören wir sie die großen Taten Gottes in unseren Sprachen reden?
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Sie entsetzten sich aber alle und waren in Verlegenheit und sagten einer zum anderen: Was mag dies wohl sein?
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
Andere aber sagten spottend: Sie sind voll süßen Weines.
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Petrus aber stand auf mit den Elfen, erhob seine Stimme und redete zu ihnen: Männer von Judäa, und ihr alle, die ihr zu Jerusalem wohnet, dies sei euch kund, und nehmet zu Ohren meine Worte!
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
Denn diese sind nicht trunken, wie ihr meinet, denn es ist die dritte Stunde des Tages;
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
sondern dies ist es, was durch den Propheten Joel gesagt ist:
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
“Und es wird geschehen in den letzten Tagen, spricht Gott, daß ich von meinem Geiste ausgießen werde auf alles Fleisch, und eure Söhne und eure Töchter werden weissagen, und eure Jünglinge werden Gesichte sehen, und eure Ältesten werden Träume haben;
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
und sogar auf meine Knechte und auf meine Mägde werde ich in jenen Tagen von meinem Geiste ausgießen, und sie werden weissagen.
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
Und ich werde Wunder geben in dem Himmel oben und Zeichen auf der Erde unten: Blut und Feuer und Rauchdampf;
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
die Sonne wird verwandelt werden in Finsternis und der Mond in Blut, ehe der große und herrliche Tag des Herrn kommt.
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
Und es wird geschehen, ein jeder, der irgend den Namen des Herrn anrufen wird, wird errettet werden.”
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
Männer von Israel, höret diese Worte: Jesum, den Nazaräer, einen Mann, von Gott an euch erwiesen durch mächtige Taten und Wunder und Zeichen, die Gott durch ihn in eurer Mitte tat, wie ihr selbst wisset-
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
diesen, übergeben nach dem bestimmten Ratschluß und nach Vorkenntnis Gottes, habt ihr durch die Hand von Gesetzlosen ans Kreuz geheftet und umgebracht.
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
Den hat Gott auferweckt, nachdem er die Wehen des Todes aufgelöst hatte, wie es denn nicht möglich war, daß er von demselben behalten würde.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
Denn David sagt über ihn: “Ich sah den Herrn allezeit vor mir; denn er ist zu meiner Rechten, auf daß ich nicht wanke.
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
Darum freute sich mein Herz, und meine Zunge frohlockte; ja, auch mein Fleisch wird in Hoffnung ruhen;
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
denn du wirst meine Seele nicht im Hades zurücklassen, noch zugeben, daß dein Frommer Verwesung sehe. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
Du hast mir kundgetan Wege des Lebens; du wirst mich mit Freude erfüllen mit deinem Angesicht.”
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
Brüder, es sei erlaubt, mit Freimütigkeit zu euch zu reden über den Patriarchen David, daß er sowohl gestorben als auch begraben ist, und sein Grab ist unter uns bis auf diesen Tag.
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
Da er nun ein Prophet war und wußte, daß Gott ihm mit einem Eide geschworen hatte, von der Frucht seiner Lenden auf seinen Thron zu setzen,
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
hat er, voraussehend, von der Auferstehung des Christus geredet, daß er nicht im Hades zurückgelassen worden ist, noch sein Fleisch die Verwesung gesehen hat. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
Diesen Jesus hat Gott auferweckt, wovon wir alle Zeugen sind.
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
Nachdem er nun durch die Rechte Gottes erhöht worden ist und die Verheißung des Heiligen Geistes vom Vater empfangen hat, hat er dieses ausgegossen, was ihr sehet und höret.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
Denn nicht David ist in die Himmel aufgefahren; er sagt aber selbst: “Der Herr sprach zu meinem Herrn: Setze dich zu meiner Rechten,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
bis ich deine Feinde lege zum Schemel deiner Füße”.
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
Das ganze Haus Israel wisse nun zuverlässig, daß Gott ihn sowohl zum Herrn als auch zum Christus gemacht hat, diesen Jesus, den ihr gekreuzigt habt.
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
Als sie aber das hörten, drang es ihnen durchs Herz, und sie sprachen zu Petrus und den anderen Aposteln:
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
Was sollen wir tun, Brüder? Petrus aber [sprach] zu ihnen: Tut Buße, und ein jeder von euch werde getauft auf den Namen Jesu Christi zur Vergebung der Sünden, und ihr werdet die Gabe des Heiligen Geistes empfangen.
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
Denn euch ist die Verheißung und euren Kindern und allen, die in der Ferne sind, so viele irgend der Herr, unser Gott, herzurufen wird.
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
Und mit vielen anderen Worten beschwor und ermahnte er sie, indem er sagte: Laßt euch retten von diesem verkehrten Geschlecht!
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Die nun sein Wort aufnahmen, wurden getauft; und es wurden an jenem Tage hinzugetan bei dreitausend Seelen.
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
Sie verharrten aber in der Lehre der Apostel und in der Gemeinschaft, im Brechen des Brotes und in den Gebeten.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Es kam aber jede Seele Furcht an, und es geschahen viele Wunder und Zeichen durch die Apostel.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
Alle aber, welche glaubten, waren beisammen und hatten alles gemein;
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
und sie verkauften die Güter und die Habe und verteilten sie an alle, jenachdem einer irgend Bedürfnis hatte.
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
Und indem sie täglich einmütig im Tempel verharrten und zu Hause das Brot brachen, nahmen sie Speise mit Frohlocken und Einfalt des Herzens,
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
lobten Gott und hatten Gunst bei dem ganzen Volke. Der Herr aber tat täglich [zu der Versammlung] hinzu, die gerettet werden sollten.
