< Luke 10 >

1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Hierauf erwählte der Herr noch siebzig andere (Jünger) und sandte sie zu zweien vor sich her in alle Städte und Ortschaften, die er später selbst besuchen wollte.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Er sprach zu ihnen: "Die Ernte ist groß, aber der Arbeiter sind wenig. Darum bittet den Herrn der Ernte, daß er Arbeiter auf sein Erntefeld sende!
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
So zieht denn aus! Ich sende euch jetzt wie Lämmer mitten unter Wölfe.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Nehmt keinen Geldbeutel, keinen Ranzen, keine Schuhe mit und grüßt niemand unterwegs!
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Bei euerm Eintritt in ein Haus sei euer erstes Wort: 'Friede sei mit diesem Haus!'
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Wohnt einer darin, der den Frieden liebt, so soll der Friede, den ihr wünscht, auf ihm ruhen; wenn nicht, so fällt der Friedensgruß auf euch zurück.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
In jenem Haus bleibt dann, eßt und trinkt, was sie haben! Denn der Arbeiter ist seines Lohnes wert. Geht nicht von einem Haus in ein anderes!
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Kommt ihr in eine Stadt und man nimmt euch auf, so eßt, was man euch vorsetzt!
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
Heilt die Kranken, die dort sind, und sagt den Bewohnern: 'Gottes Königreich ist euch genaht!'
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Kommt ihr aber in eine Stadt und man nimmt euch nicht auf, so geht hinaus auf ihre freien Plätze und sprecht:
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
'Sogar den Staub, der sich aus eurer Stadt an unsere Füße geheftet hat, den wischen wir ab, damit ihr ihn behaltet. Das eine aber sollt ihr wissen: Gottes Königreich ist nahe herbeigekommen!'
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Ich sage euch: Es wird Sodom an jenem Tag erträglicher gehen als einer solchen Stadt.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Weh dir, Chorazin! Wehe dir, Bethsaida! Denn wären in Tyrus und Sidon die Wundertaten geschehen, die in euch geschehen sind, sie hätten sich schon längst, in Sack und Asche sitzend, bekehrt.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Doch es wird Tyrus und Sidon im Gericht erträglicher gehen als euch.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Und du, Kapernaum, meinst du vielleicht, du wirst bis zum Himmel erhoben? In die Tiefe der Unterwelt sollst du hinabgestürzt werden! (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Wer euch hört, der hört mich; und wer euch verwirft, der verwirft mich. Wer aber mich verwirft, der verwirft den, der mich gesandt hat."
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Bei ihrer Rückkehr berichteten die Siebzig voller Freude: "Herr, sogar die bösen Geister gehorchen uns, wenn wir deinen Namen aussprechen."
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Er antwortete ihnen: "Ja, ich sah den Satan wie einen Blitz vom Himmel fallen.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Seht, ich habe euch die Macht verliehen, über Schlangen und Skorpione dahinzuschreiten und das ganze Heer des Feindes zu besiegen, so daß euch kein Schade treffen wird.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Doch freut euch nicht darüber, daß euch die Geister gehorchen; freut euch vielmehr darüber, daß eure Namen im Himmel eingetragen sind!"
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
In jener Stunde rief Jesus, erfüllt vom Heiligen Geist, in lautem Jubel aus: "Ich preise dich, o Vater, Herr des Himmels und der Erde, daß du dies den Weisen und Verständigen verborgen und es den Einfältigen offenbart hast. Ja, Vater, so hat dir's gefallen!
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Alles ist mir von meinem Vater übergeben worden, und niemand weiß, wer der Sohn ist, als nur der Vater, und wer der Vater ist, als nur der Sohn und der, dem der Sohn es offenbaren will."
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Dann sprach er, nur zu den Jüngern gewandt: "Selig sind die Augen, die das sehen, was ihr seht!
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Denn ich sage euch: Viele Propheten und Könige haben gewünscht zu sehen, was ihr seht, und haben es nicht gesehen, und zu hören, was ihr hört, und haben es nicht gehört."
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Da erhob sich ein Gesetzeslehrer, der ihm eine Falle stellen wollte, und fragte ihn: "Meister, was muß ich tun, um ewiges Leben zu erlangen?" (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Jesus sprach zu ihm: "Was steht im Gesetz geschrieben? Wie liest du dort?"
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Er antwortete: "Du sollst den Herrn, deinen Gott, lieben mit ganzem Herzen, mit ganzer Seele, mit aller Kraft und mit allem Denken und deinen Nächsten wie dich selbst."
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Jesus sprach zu ihm: "Deine Antwort ist ganz richtig; tue das, so wirst du leben."
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Doch der Gesetzeslehrer wollte sich (wegen seiner Frage) rechtfertigen und sprach deshalb zu Jesus: "Wer ist denn mein Nächster?"
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Da erwiderte Jesus: "Ein Mann ging von Jerusalem hinab nach Jericho. Auf seiner Wanderung fiel er Räubern in die Hände. Die plünderten ihn aus, schlugen ihn blutig, ließen ihn halbtot liegen und gingen dann davon.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Nun kam zufällig ein Priester jenes Weges; der sah den Mann, aber er ging vorüber.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Ebenso kam ein Levit dorthin; der sah ihn und ging auch an ihm vorüber.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Dann kam ein Samariter, der auf Reisen war, an die Stätte. Als der den Mann erblickte, ward er von Mitgefühl ergriffen:
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
er trat hinzu, goß Öl und Wein in seine Wunden und verband sie ihm. Dann setzte er ihn auf sein Reittier, führte ihn in ein Gasthaus und pflegte ihn.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Am anderen Morgen zog er zwei Silberlinge aus seinem Beutel, gab sie dem Wirt und sagte: 'Pflege ihn; und was du sonst noch ausgibst, das will ich dir bei meiner Rückkehr ersetzen.'
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Wer von diesen dreien hat nun nach deiner Meinung als Nächster an dem Mann gehandelt, der den Räubern in die Hände fiel?"
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Der Gesetzeslehrer erwiderte: "Der Barmherzigkeit an ihm bewiesen hat." Da sprach Jesus zu ihm: "Geh hin und handle du ebenso!"
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Als sie weiterwanderten, kam er in ein Dorf. Dort nahm ihn eine Frau mit Namen Martha in ihr Haus auf.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Sie hatte eine Schwester, die hieß Maria. Die lauschte, zu des Herrn Füßen sitzend, auf seine Unterweisung.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Martha aber machte sich viel zu schaffen, um ihn reichlich zu bewirten. Und sie trat zu Jesus und sprach: "Herr, kannst du es ruhig mitansehen, daß mich meine Schwester alles allein besorgen läßt? Sag ihr doch, sie solle mir helfen!"
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Der Herr aber antwortete ihr: "Martha, Martha, du sorgst und mühst dich um vielerlei.
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
Aber nur wenig ist not. Denn Maria hat sich das beste Teil erwählt; das soll ihr nicht genommen werden."
