John 11
1 [One time] there was a man whose name was Lazarus who was [very] sick. He lived in Bethany [village], where his [older] sisters Mary and Martha also lived.
Es lag aber einer krank mit Namen Lazarus von Bethanien, in dem Flecken Marias und ihrer Schwester Martha.
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
(Maria aber war, die den HERRN gesalbet hatte mit Salben und seine Füße getrocknet mit ihrem Haar; derselbigen Bruder Lazarus war krank.)
3 So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
Da sandten seine Schwestern zu ihm und ließen ihm sagen: HERR, siehe, den du liebhast, der liegt krank.
4 [They hoped that Jesus would come], but when Jesus heard the message, he said, “His being sick will not end in his dying. Instead, it will result in [people realizing] how great God is, and that I, God’s son, may be honored {that people may honor me, God’s son}, because of [what I will do].”
Da Jesus das hörete, sprach er: Die Krankheit ist nicht zum Tode, sondern zur Ehre Gottes, daß der Sohn Gottes dadurch geehret werde.
5 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
Jesus aber hatte Martha lieb und ihre Schwester und Lazarus.
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
Als er nun hörete, daß er krank war, blieb er zwei Tage an dem Ort, da er war.
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
Danach spricht er zu seinen Jüngern: Lasset uns wieder nach Judäa ziehen!
8 We said, “Teacher, just a short while ago the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] wanted to [kill you by] throwing stones at you. So ([we think that you should not] go back there again!/[are you sure that you want to] go back there again?) [RHQ]”
Seine Jünger sprachen zu ihm: Meister, jenesmal wollten die Juden dich steinigen, und du willst wieder dahin ziehen?
9 [To show us that nothing bad could happen to him until the time that God had chosen] [MET], Jesus replied, “There are [RHQ] twelve hours in the daytime, [which is enough time to do what God wants us to do]. People who walk in the daytime will not stumble [over things they cannot see], because they see things by the light from the sun.
Jesus antwortete: Sind nicht des Tages zwölf Stunden? Wer des Tages wandelt, der stößet sich nicht, denn er siehet das Licht dieser Welt.
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
Wer aber des Nachts wandelt, der stößet sich, denn es ist kein Licht in ihm.
11 After he said that, he told us, “Our friend Lazarus has gone to sleep. But I will go there so that I can wake him up.”
Solches sagte er, und danach spricht er zu ihnen: Lazarus, unser Freund, schläft; aber ich gehe hin, daß ich ihn aufwecke.
12 So we said to him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well. [So you do not need to risk your life by going there].”
Da sprachen seine Jünger: HERR, schläft er, so wird's besser mit ihm.
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
Jesus aber sagte von seinem Tode; sie meineten aber, er redete vom leiblichen Schlaf.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Da sagte es ihnen Jesus frei heraus: Lazarus ist gestorben.
15 But for your sake I am glad that I was not there [when he died], because I want you to believe [more firmly that I] ([am the Messiah/came from God]). So now, [instead of staying here], let’s go to him.”
Und ich bin froh um euretwillen, daß ich nicht dagewesen bin, auf daß ihr glaubet. Aber lasset uns zu ihm ziehen!
16 Then Thomas, who was {whom they} called ‘The Twin’, said to the rest of us disciples, “Let’s all go, so that we may die with Jesus [when his enemies kill him].”
Da sprach Thomas, der da genannt ist Zwilling, zu den Jüngern: Lasset uns mit ziehen, daß wir mit ihm sterben!
17 When we arrived [close to Bethany], someone told Jesus that Lazarus [had died and had been buried and his body had] been in the tomb for four days.
Da kam Jesus und fand ihn, daß er schon vier Tage im Grabe gelegen war.
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
(Bethanien aber war nahe bei Jerusalem, bei fünfzehn Feldweges.)
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
Und viel Juden waren, zu Martha und Maria kommen, sie zu trösten über ihren Bruder.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
Als Martha nun hörete, daß Jesus kommt, gehet sie ihm entgegen; Maria aber blieb daheim sitzen.
21 When Martha [got to where Jesus was], she said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died [because you would have healed him]!
Da sprach Martha zu Jesu: HERR, wärest du hier gewesen, mein Bruder wäre nicht gestorben;
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
aber ich weiß auch noch, daß, was du bittest von Gott, das wird dir Gott geben.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
Jesus spricht zu ihr: Dein Bruder soll auferstehen.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
Martha spricht zu ihm: Ich weiß wohl, daß er auferstehen wird in der Auferstehung am Jüngsten Tage.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the one who [enables people to] become alive again and who [causes people to] live [eternally]. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live [again].
Jesus spricht zu ihr: Ich bin die Auferstehung und das Leben. Wer an mich glaubet, der wird leben, ob er gleich stürbe;
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
und wer da lebet und glaubet an mich, der wird nimmermehr sterben. Glaubest du das? (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord! I believe that you are the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). You are the one [God promised to send] into the world!”
Sie spricht zu ihm: HERR, ja, ich glaube, daß du bist Christus, der Sohn Gottes, der in die Welt kommen ist.
28 After she said that, she returned [to the house] and took her [younger] sister, Mary, aside and said to her, “The Teacher is close [to our village], and he wants to talk to you.”
Und da sie das gesagt hatte, ging sie hin und rief ihre Schwester Maria heimlich und sprach: Der Meister ist da und rufet dich.
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
Dieselbige, als sie das hörete, stund sie eilend auf und kam zu ihm.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
Denn Jesus war noch nicht in den Flecken kommen, sondern war noch an dem Ort, da ihm Martha war entgegenkommen.
31 The Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go outside. So they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb [where they had buried Lazarus], in order to cry there.
Die Juden, die bei ihr im Hause waren und trösteten sie, da sie sahen Maria, daß sie eilend aufstund und hinausging, folgten sie ihr nach und sprachen: Sie gehet hin zum Grabe, daß sie daselbst weine.
32 When Mary got to where Jesus was and saw him, she prostrated herself at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my [younger] brother would not have died!”
Als nun Maria kam, da Jesus war, und sah ihn, fiel sie zu seinen Füßen und sprach zu ihm: HERR, wärest du hier gewesen, mein Bruder wäre nicht gestorben.
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and saw that the Jews who had come with her were also crying, he was very angry [that Satan had caused Lazarus to die] (OR, very troubled) and disturbed in his spirit.
Als Jesus sie sah weinen und die Juden auch weinen, die mit ihr kamen, ergrimmete er im Geist und betrübte sich selbst
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
und sprach: Wo habt ihr ihn hingelegt? Sie sprachen zu ihm: HERR, komm und sieh es!
35 Jesus began to cry.
Und Jesu gingen die Augen über.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
Da sprachen die Juden: Siehe, wie hat er ihn so liebgehabt!
37 But some others said, “He enabled a blind man to see. So (he should have been able to [heal this man so that] he did not die!/why did he not [heal this man so that] he did not die?) [RHQ]”
Etliche aber unter ihnen sprachen: Konnte, der dem Blinden die Augen aufgetan hat, nicht verschaffen, daß auch dieser nicht stürbe?
38 Within himself Jesus was again very angry [about Lazarus dying] (OR, very troubled). He came to the tomb. It was a cave. The entrance had been covered with a large stone.
Jesus aber ergrimmete abermal in sich selbst und kam zum Grabe. Es war aber eine Kluft und ein Stein darauf gelegt.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone!” Martha, [who, as I mentioned before, was an older] sister of the man who had died, said, “Lord, his [body] has been [in the tomb] for four days, so now there will be a bad smell!”
Jesus sprach: Hebet den Stein ab! Spricht zu ihm Martha, die Schwester des Verstorbenen: HERR, er stinkt schon; denn er ist vier Tage gelegen.
40 Jesus said to her, “I told [RHQ] you that if you believed [in] ([me/what I can do]), you would see how great God is! Have [you forgotten that]?”
Jesus spricht zu ihr: Hab' ich dir nicht gesagt, so du glauben würdest, du solltest die HERRLIchkeit Gottes sehen?
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up [toward heaven] and said, “My Father, I thank you that you heard me [when I prayed about this earlier].
Da huben sie den Stein ab, da der Verstorbene lag. Jesus aber hub seine Augen empor und sprach: Vater, ich danke dir, daß du mich erhöret hast!
42 I know that you always hear me [when I pray]. But instead [of just praying silently], I said that for the sake of the people who are standing here. I want them to believe that you sent me.”
Doch ich weiß, daß du mich allezeit hörest, sondern um des Volks willen, das umherstehet, sage ich's, daß sie glauben, du habest mich gesandt.
43 After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
Da er das gesagt hatte, rief er mit lauter Stimme: Lazarus, komm heraus!
44 The man who [had been] dead came out! The strips of cloth were still wrapped around his [hands and feet], and a cloth was still around his face, [but he came out]! Jesus said to them, “Take off the cloths so that he can walk easily!” [So they did that].
Und der Verstorbene kam heraus, gebunden mit Grabtüchern an Füßen und Händen, und sein Angesicht verhüllet mit einem Schweißtuch. Jesus spricht zu ihnen: Löset ihn auf und lasset ihn gehen!
45 As a result, many of the Jews who had come to [see] Mary and who had seen what Jesus did, believed that he ([was the Messiah/had come from God]).
Viel nun der Juden, die zu Maria kommen waren und sahen, was Jesus tat, glaubten an ihn.
46 But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Etliche aber von ihnen gingen hin zu den Pharisäern und sagten ihnen, was Jesus getan hatte.
47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered all the members of the [Jewish] Council together. They started saying [to each other], “What are we going to do [about Jesus]? He is performing many miracles!
Da versammelten die Hohenpriester und die Pharisäer einen Rat und sprachen: Was tun wir? Dieser Mensch tut viel Zeichen.
48 If we allow him to keep [doing this], everyone will believe (in him/that he [is the Messiah]), [and they will make him their king]. Then the Roman [army] will come and destroy our Temple and our whole nation of Israel!”
Lassen wir ihn also, so werden sie alle an ihn glauben. So kommen dann die Römer und nehmen uns Land und Leute.
49 One of the [Jewish Council] members was Caiaphas. He was the Jewish high priest that year. [Hinting that they should get rid of Jesus], he said to them, “You [talk as though you] do not know anything [HYP]!
Einer aber unter ihnen, Kaiphas, der desselben Jahres Hoherpriester war, sprach zu ihnen: Ihr wisset nichts,
50 You do not realize that it would be much better for us if one man died for the sake of the people rather than that [the Romans kill] all the [people of our Jewish] nation.”
bedenket auch nichts; es ist uns besser, ein Mensch sterbe für das Volk, denn daß das ganze Volk verderbe.
51 He said that, not because he thought of it himself. Instead, since he was the high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the whole [Jewish] nation.
Solches aber redete er nicht von sich selbst, sondern, dieweil er desselbigen Jahres Hoherpriester war, weissagte er. Denn Jesus sollte sterben für das Volk,
52 But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who [would belong] to God, in order that he would unite [all of them into] one [group].
und nicht für das Volk allein, sondern daß er die Kinder Gottes, die zerstreuet waren, zusammenbrächte.
53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
Von dem Tage an ratschlagten sie, wie sie ihn töteten.
54 Because of that, Jesus no longer traveled around publicly among the Jewish people. Instead, he left [Jerusalem, along] with us disciples, and went to a village called Ephraim, in an area near the desolate region. We stayed there [for a while].
Jesus aber wandelte nicht mehr frei unter den Juden, sondern ging von dannen in eine Gegend nahe bei der Wüste in eine Stadt, genannt Ephrem, und hatte sein Wesen daselbst mit seinen Jüngern.
55 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], many [Jews] went up to Jerusalem from other places in the country. They went there to perform the rituals to make themselves acceptable [to God] before the Passover [celebration started].
Es war aber nahe das Ostern der Juden; und es gingen viele hinauf gen Jerusalem aus der Gegend vor Ostern daß sie sich reinigten.
56 The Jewish chief priests and Pharisees issued an order that if anyone found out where Jesus was, that person should report it to them, in order that they could seize him. [So the people thought that Jesus would] probably [not dare to come to the celebration]. But they kept looking for him, and as they were standing in the Temple [courtyard] they were saying to each other, “What do you think? He will not come to the celebration, will he?”
Da stunden sie und fragten nach Jesu und redeten miteinander im Tempel: Was dünket euch, daß er nicht kommt auf das Fest?
Es hatten aber die Hohenpriester und Pharisäer lassen ein Gebot ausgehen, so jemand wüßte, wo er wäre, daß er's anzeigete, daß sie ihn griffen.
