Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
So war das Pfingstfest herangekommen. Alle waren an demselben Ort 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.
Plötzlich erhob sich vom Himmel her ein Brausen, als ob ein gewaltiger Wind daherkäme, und erfüllte das ganze Haus, in dem 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.
Es erschienen ihnen Zungen, wie von Feuer, die sich verteilten und sich auf jeden einzelnen unter ihnen niederließen.
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].
Alle wurden voll des Heiligen Geistes und begannen, in fremden Sprachen zu reden, wie es der Heilige Geist ihnen verlieh zu sprechen.
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.
In Jerusalem wohnten aber Juden, gottesfürchtige Männer, aus allen Völkern unter dem Himmel.
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 nun dieses Brausen erhob, lief die Menge zusammen und wurde bestürzt, weil ein jeder sie in seiner Muttersprache 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].
Außer sich vor Verwunderung riefen sie: "Sind denn nicht alle, 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]
Wie mag es denn geschehen, daß jeder aus uns sie in seiner Muttersprache reden hört?
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.
Wir Parther, Meder und Elamiter, und wir, die wir Mesopotamien bewohnen. Judäa und Kappadozien, 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.
Phrygien und Pamphilien, Ägypten und den Landstrich Lybiens bis nach Cyrene hin, wir Pilger aus Rom,
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?”
Juden und Proselyten, wir Kreter und Araber, wir hören sie in unseren Sprachen die großen Taten Gottes verkünden."
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?”
Alle waren außer sich vor Staunen und sprachen zueinander: "Was mag das 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 dagegen spotteten und sagten: "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!
Da trat Petrus samt den Elfen vor, erhob seine Stimme und redete sie begeistert an: "Ihr Männer von Judäa und ihr alle, die ihr in Jerusalem zu Hause seid! Dies sei euch kundgetan! Vernehmet 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!
Die da sind nicht betrunken, wie ihr meint; es ist ja erst 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,
Vielmehr erfüllt sich hier, was der Prophet Joel vorhergesagt hat:
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].
'Ich werde in den letzten Tagen,' so spricht Gott, 'von meinem Geist über alles Fleisch ausgießen. Da werden eure Söhne und eure Töchter prophezeien; eure Jünglinge werden Gesichte schauen und eure Greise Traumgesichte 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.
Sogar über meine Sklaven und meine Sklavinnen will ich in jenen Tagen von meinem Geist ausgießen, und sie werden prophezeien.
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].
Ich werde Wunder tun am Himmel droben, und auf der Erde unten Zeichen: Blut, Feuer, Qualm und Rauch.
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 sich in Finsternis wandeln, der Mond in Blut, bevor der große und erhabene 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].}’”
Doch wer den Namen des Herrn anruft, wird gerettet 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].
Ihr Männer Israels! Vernehmet diese Worte: Jesus von Nazareth, ein Mann, der von Gott für euch durch Taten voll Allmacht, durch Wunder und durch Zeichen beglaubigt ward, die Gott - das wißt ihr ja selbst - durch ihn mitten unter euch vollbracht hat, ihn,
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.
der durch Gottes festgesetzten Ratschluß und Vorherwissen ausgeliefert ward, ihn habt ihr durch die Hände der Gesetzeslosen ans Kreuz geschlagen und getötet.
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.”
Gott aber hat die Wehen des Todes gelöst und ihn auferweckt; wie es ja auch nicht möglich war, daß der Tod über ihn die Macht behielt.
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].
Sagt doch schon David mit Bezug auf ihn: 'Allzeit schaue ich den Herrn vor mir; er steht 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 frohlockte laut mein Herz, und meine Zunge jubelte, und auch mein Fleisch wird voller 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 dem Totenreich preisgeben und deinem Heiligen nicht die Verwesung zu schauen geben. (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 lehrst mich des Lebens Wege, erfüllst mich vor deinem Angesicht mit Wonne.'"
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.
"Meine Brüder! Ganz offen darf ich über unseren Patriarchen David vor euch reden; er starb und ward begraben; sein Grabmal ist hier bei uns bis auf den heutigen 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].)
Er war ja ein Prophet und hat gewußt, daß Gott mit einem Eid ihm verheißen hatte, er werde einstens einen seiner Nachkommen auf seinen Thron erheben das heißt, daß Christus leiblich auferstehen werde.
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)
So schaut und kündet er zum voraus Christi Auferstehung; dieser wird nicht im Totenreich verbleiben noch wird sein Fleisch Verwesung erfahren. (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; dessen sind wir alle Zeugen.
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.
Er ward erhöht durch Gottes Rechte, empfing vom Vater den verheißenen Heiligen Geist, den er ausgegossen hat, wie ihr jetzt seht und hört.
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 stieg zum Himmel auf, und doch sagt er: 'Es sprach der Herr zu meinem Herrn; setze dich zu meiner Rechten,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
bis ich deine Feinde zum Schemel deiner Füße mache.'
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.”
So soll denn das ganze Haus Israel mit aller Sicherheit erkennen, daß Gott gerade diesen Jesus, den ihr gekreuzigt habt, zum Herrn und Christus gemacht hat.
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 dies hörten, ging ein Stich ihnen durchs Herz, und sie sprachen zu Petrus und den anderen Aposteln: "Liebe Brüder, was sollen wir tun?"
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.
Petrus sprach zu ihnen: "Bekehret euch! Jeder von euch lasse sich taufen auf den Namen Jesu Christi für die Vergebung eurer Sünden, damit ihr die Gabe des Heiligen Geistes empfanget.
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]!”
Die Verheißung gilt euch und euren Kindern und all denen, die noch ferne sind, so viele auch der Herr unser Gott berufen 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]!”
Noch mit vielen weiteren Worten beschwor und ermahnte er sie: "Laßt euch erretten von diesem ganz verdorbenen 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 bereitwillig annahmen, wurden getauft, und an jenem Tage kamen gegen dreitausend Seelen hinzu.
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 hielten fest an der Lehre der Apostel und an der Gemeinschaft, am Brotbrechen und am Gebet.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Furcht ergriff alle Herzen; denn viele Wunder und Zeichen geschahen durch die Apostel in Jerusalem, so daß große Furcht auf allen lag.
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 Gläubigen hielten zusammen und betrachteten all ihre Habe als gemeinsames Eigentum;
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.
auch verkauften sie dann und wann ihr Hab und Gut und verteilten den Erlös an alle, je nach Bedürfnis.
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.
Täglich verharrten sie einmütig im Tempel, brachen in den einzelnen Häusern das Brot und genossen ihre Speisen in stolzer Freudigkeit 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].
Sie priesen Gott und waren beim ganzen Volk beliebt. Täglich führte der Herr ihnen neue zu, die gerettet werden sollten.
