Luke 21
1 [Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
Und als er aufblickte, sah er, wie Reiche ihre Gaben in den Opferkasten warfen.
2 He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
Er sah auch, wie eine arme Witwe nur zwei Heller einwarf.
3 He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
Er sprach: "Wahrhaftig sage ich euch: Diese bettelarme Witwe hat mehr als alle anderen hineingeworfen.
Denn alle anderen warfen nur von ihrem Überfluß zu den Gaben Gottes ein, sie aber gab von ihrer Armut alles, was sie zum Leben hatte."
5 Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
Als einige vom Tempel sagten, er sei mit kostbaren Steinen und mit Weihgeschenken geschmückt, da sprach er:
6 “[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
"Es werden Tage kommen, da von dem, was ihr hier seht, kein Stein mehr auf dem anderen bleibt, der nicht abgebrochen werden wird."
7 [Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
Da fragten sie ihn: "Meister, wann wird dies geschehen, und welches wird das Zeichen sein, wann dies zu geschehen anfängt?"
8 He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
Da sagte er: "Seht zu, daß euch niemand verführe. Viele werden unter meinem Namen kommen und behaupten: 'Ich bin es; gekommen ist die Zeit.' Lauft ihnen ja nicht nach!
9 Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
Wenn ihr von Krieg und Umsturz hört, dann laßt euch nicht erschrecken. Denn dies muß zuerst geschehen, jedoch ist das Ende noch nicht gleich da."
10 Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
Und er fuhr fort: "Volk wird sich gegen Volk erheben und Reich gegen Reich.
11 There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
Gewaltige Erdbeben, Pest und Hunger wird es an vielen Orten geben. Schreckbilder und fürchterliche Zeichen werden am Himmel erscheinen.
12 But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
Vor all dem aber wird man an euch Hand anlegen; man wird euch verfolgen, euch an die Synagogen und Gefängnisse überliefern, vor Könige und Statthalter euch schleppen um meines Namens willen.
13 That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
Doch dies wird euch zum Zeugnis werden.
14 So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
Dann nehmt euch vor, nicht schon im voraus euch zu sorgen, wie ihr euch verteidigen werdet;
15 because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
ich werde euch Beredsamkeit und Weisheit geben, der von allen euren Gegnern keiner widerstehen noch widersprechen kann.
16 [And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
Ihr werdet sogar von Eltern und Brüdern ausgeliefert werden und von Verwandten und Freunden, und manche aus euch wird man töten.
17 [In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
Von allen werdet ihr um meines Namens willen gehaßt werden.
18 But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
Und doch soll euch nicht ein Haar von eurem Haupte verlorengehen.
19 By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
Wenn ihr standhaft bleibt, werdet ihr euer Leben gewinnen.
20 “But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
Wenn ihr Jerusalem von Heeren umlagert seht, dann erkennt, daß seine Verödung sich genaht hat.
21 At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
Dann fliehe, wer in Judäa ist, ins Gebirge, wer in der Stadt ist, gehe fort, und wer auf dem Lande ist, gehe nicht in die Stadt.
22 [You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
Denn das sind die Tage der Rache, da alles in Erfüllung gehen soll, was geschrieben steht.
23 [I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
Doch wehe den Frauen, die in jenen Tagen ein Kindlein unterm Herzen oder an der Brust tragen. Denn große Drangsal wird im Lande herrschen, und ein Gericht des Zornes wird dieses Volk treffen.
24 Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
Sie werden durch die Schärfe des Schwertes fallen und in Gefangenschaft zu allen Heidenvölkern geführt werden. Jerusalem wird von den Heiden zertreten werden, bis die Zeiten der Heiden abgelaufen sind.
25 “There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
An Sonne, Mond und Sternen werden Zeichen sein; auf Erden Angst, Bestürzung bei den Völkern ob des Tosens und Brausens der Meereswogen.
26 People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
Die Menschen werden vergehen vor Bangen in Erwartung dessen, was über den Erdkreis kommen soll. Die Kräfte des Himmels werden erschüttert werden.
27 Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
Man wird den Menschensohn auf einer Wolke mit Macht und großer Herrlichkeit kommen sehen.
28 So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
Wenn dieses anfängt zu geschehen, dann richtet euch auf, erhebt eure Häupter: Eure Erlösung naht."
29 [Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
Und er erzählte ihnen noch ein Gleichnis: "Betrachtet den Feigenbaum und alle anderen Bäume!
30 As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Wenn ihr wahrnehmt, daß sie ausschlagen, so wisset ihr von selbst, daß der Sommer nahe ist.
31 Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
So sollt ihr, wenn ihr all dies geschehen seht, auch erkennen, daß das Reich Gottes nahe ist.
32 Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Dieses Geschlecht wird nicht vergehen, bis all dies geschehen wird.
33 [You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
Himmel und Erde werden vergehen, doch meine Worte werden nicht vergehen.
34 “But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
So hütet euch, mit Schwelgen, mit Trunkenheit und mit irdischen Sorgen euer Herz zu belasten, so daß jener Tag unvermutet euch überfalle
35 [You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
gleichwie eine Schlinge. Er wird über alle kommen, die irgendwo auf der ganzen Erde wohnen.
36 So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
So seid denn allezeit wachsam und betet, daß ihr imstande seid, all dem, was kommen wird, zu entgehen und vor dem Menschensohn zu erscheinen."
37 Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
Tagsüber lehrte er im Tempel; des Abends ging er dann hinaus und übernachtete auf dem sogenannten Ölberg.
38 Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
In der Morgenfrühe strömte alles Volk zu ihm in den Tempel, um ihn zu hören.
