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 aber gingen (eines Tages) zusammen um die neunte Stunde, die Gebetsstunde, in den Tempel hinauf.
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 wurde (gerade) ein Mann herbeigetragen, der von seiner Geburt an lahm war und den man täglich an das sogenannte Schöne Tor des Tempels hinsetzte, damit er sich dort Almosen von den Besuchern des Tempels erbitte.
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 dieser nun Petrus und Johannes sah, die 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!”
Da sah Petrus samt Johannes ihn scharf an und sagte: »Sieh uns an!«
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Jener blickte sie nun aufmerksam an in der Erwartung, eine Gabe von ihnen zu erhalten.
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 sagte: »Silber und Gold besitze ich nicht; was ich aber habe, das gebe ich dir: Im Namen Jesu Christi von Nazareth: Gehe 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.
Dann faßte er ihn bei der rechten Hand und richtete ihn auf; da wurden seine Füße und Knöchel augenblicklich fest;
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, konnte stehen, ging umher und trat mit ihnen in den Tempel ein, indem er umherging und sprang und Gott pries.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
So sahen ihn denn alle Leute, wie er umherging und Gott pries;
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 in ihm auch den Mann, der sonst, um Almosen zu erbitten, am Schönen Tore des Tempels gesessen hatte, und wurden voller Staunen und Verwunderung wegen der Heilung, die an ihm vorgegangen war.
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.
Da er sich aber fest zu Petrus und Johannes hielt, strömte das gesamte Volk zu ihnen bei der sogenannten Halle Salomos zusammen, außer sich vor Staunen.
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 das sah, richtete er folgende Ansprache an das Volk: »Ihr Männer von Israel, was wundert ihr euch über diesen Mann, oder was seht ihr uns so erstaunt an, als hätten wir durch eigene Kraft oder Frömmigkeit bewirkt, daß er umhergehen 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.
Nein, der Gott Abrahams, Isaaks und Jakobs, der Gott unserer Väter, hat seinen Knecht Jesus verherrlicht, den ihr (den Heiden) ausgeliefert und vor Pilatus verleugnet habt, als dieser seine Freigebung beschlossen hatte;
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)!
da habt ihr den Heiligen und Gerechten verleugnet und die Begnadigung eines Mörders verlangt,
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.
dagegen den Fürsten des Lebens hinrichten lassen. Diesen hat Gott von den Toten auferweckt: dafür 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.”
Und auf Grund des Glaubens an seinen Namen hat sein Name diesem Manne hier, den ihr seht und kennt, jetzt Kraft verliehen, und der durch Jesus (in uns) gewirkte Glaube hat ihm vor euer aller Augen diese seine gesunden Glieder geschenkt.
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].
Und nun, ihr Brüder: ich weiß, daß ihr aus Unwissenheit gehandelt habt, wie auch eure Oberen;
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 Weise das in Erfüllung gehen lassen, was er schon vorher durch den Mund aller Propheten verkündigt hat, daß nämlich sein Gesalbter leiden werde.
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 bekehrt euch, damit eure Sünden vergeben 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.
auf daß Zeiten der Erquickung vom Angesicht des Herrn kommen und er den für euch zum Gesalbten bestimmten Jesus senden kann.
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)
Diesen muß allerdings der Himmel aufnehmen bis zu den Zeiten der Wiederherstellung alles dessen, was Gott durch den Mund seiner heiligen Propheten von der Urzeit her verkündet 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].
Mose hat ja gesagt: ›Einen Propheten wie mich wird der Herr, unser Gott, euch aus euren Brüdern erstehen lassen: auf den sollt ihr in allem hören, was er zu euch reden 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’.”
und jede Seele, die auf diesen Propheten nicht hört, 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.
Aber auch alle anderen Propheten, soviele ihrer von Samuel an und in den folgenden Zeiten aufgetreten sind, haben diese Tage angekündigt.
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 gehört dem Bunde an, den Gott mit euren Vätern geschlossen hat, als er dem Abraham die Verheißung gab: ›In deiner Nachkommenschaft sollen alle Geschlechter der Erde gesegnet werden.‹
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 zuerst hat Gott seinen Knecht erstehen lassen und ihn gesandt, um euch dadurch zu segnen, daß ein jeder unter euch sich von seinen Bosheiten bekehrt.«
