Acts 3
1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Petrus und Johannes gingen zum Tempel hinauf; es war um die neunte Gebetsstunde.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Da trug man eben einen Mann daher, der von Geburt an lahm war. Tag für Tag setzte man ihn an das sogenannte "Schöne Tor" des Tempels, damit er sich von den Tempelbesuchern ein Almosen erbetteln solle.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Als er Petrus und Johannes sah, wie sie eben in den Tempel hineingehen wollten, bat er sie um ein Almosen.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Petrus und zugleich Johannes sah ihn scharf an und sprach: "Schau auf uns her!"
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Er sah gespannt auf sie in der Meinung, etwas von ihnen zu bekommen.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Petrus aber sprach: "Silber und Gold habe ich nicht, doch was ich habe, gebe ich dir: Im Namen Jesu Christi von Nazareth steh auf und geh umher!"
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Damit faßte er ihn an seiner rechten Hand und richtete ihn auf. Sogleich kam Kraft in seine Füße und Knöchel;
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
er sprang auf und konnte stehen; er wandelte umher und begab sich mit ihnen in den Tempel, lief, sprang umher und lobte Gott.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Alles Volk sah, wie er umherging und Gott lobte.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
Sie erkannten ihn als denselben, der des Almosens halber am "Schönen Tor" des Tempels gesessen hatte, und wurden voll von Staunen und Verwunderung über den Vorfall.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Er hielt sich zu Petrus und Johannes, und alles Volk lief außer sich vor Staunen zu ihnen in die sogenannte Halle Salomons.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Als Petrus dies sah, sprach er zum Volke: "Ihr Männer Israels! Was wundert ihr euch über diesen hier, oder was seht ihr uns so staunend an, als hätten wir es aus eigener Kraft und Frömmigkeit soweit gebracht, daß dieser gehen kann?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Der Gott Abrahams, Isaaks und Jakobs, der Gott unserer Väter, hat Jesus, seinen Knecht, verherrlicht. Ihr freilich habt ihn ausgeliefert und vor Pilatus verworfen, als dieser ihn freilassen wollte.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Den Heiligen und Gerechten habt ihr verworfen und verlangt, man solle euch den Mörder schenken;
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
den Fürsten des Lebens aber habt ihr gemordet. Doch Gott hat ihn von den Toten erweckt; dessen sind wir Zeugen.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
Sein Name hat jetzt diesem da, den ihr seht und kennt, auf Grund des Glaubens an diesen seinen Namen Kraft verliehen. Und dieser Glaube, der durch ihn zustande kommt, gab ihm auch die volle Gesundheit zurück, wie ihr jetzt alle seht.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Wohlan denn, meine Brüder, ich weiß, ihr habt es nur aus Unwissenheit getan, so wie auch eure Obern.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Gott aber hat auf diese Art erfüllt, was er durch den Mund aller Propheten vorherverkündet hat, daß sein Christus werde leiden müssen.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
So tut denn Buße und bekehret euch, damit eure Sünden nachgelassen werden.
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
Dann werden Zeiten der Erquickung durch die Gnade des Herrn kommen, er wird Christus Jesus senden, der für euch vorherbestimmt ist.
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Ihn mußte zwar der Himmel erst aufnehmen, bis daß die Zeit gekommen wäre, da alles soll wiederhergestellt werden, wovon Gott durch den Mund seiner uralten heiligen Propheten geredet hat. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Moses ist es, der da sagte: 'Einen Propheten wird für euch der Herr und unser Gott erwecken aus der Mitte eurer Brüder wie mich. Hört auf ihn in allem, was immer er euch sagen wird.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Wer aber nicht auf den Propheten hört, der soll aus dem Volke ausgerottet werden.'
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Auch alle anderen Propheten von Samuel an und später, so viele ihrer auch geredet haben, haben eben diese Tage verkündet.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Ihr seid die Söhne der Propheten, und ihr gehört dem Bund an, den Gott mit euren Vätern einst geschlossen hat, als er zu Abraham sprach: 'Alle Geschlechter der Erde sollen sich in deinem Stamme segnen.'
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
Für euch vor allem hat Gott seinen Knecht auferweckt und gesandt, daß er euch segne unter der Bedingung, daß sich ein jeder von seiner Schlechtigkeit bekehre."
