< Luke 5 >
1 One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
Es begab sich aber, als das Volk sich zu ihm drängte, um das Wort Gottes zu hören, stand er am See Genezareth;
2 He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
und er sah zwei Schiffe am Ufer liegen; die Fischer aber waren ausgestiegen und wuschen die Netze.
3 Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
Da trat er in eines der Schiffe, das Simon gehörte, und bat ihn, ein wenig vom Lande wegzufahren; und er setzte sich und lehrte die Menge vom Schiffe aus.
4 After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
Als er aber zu reden aufgehört hatte, sprach er zu Simon: Fahre hinaus auf die Höhe und lasset eure Netze zu einem Fang hinunter!
5 Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
Und Simon antwortete und sprach: Meister, wir haben die ganze Nacht hindurch gearbeitet und nichts gefangen; aber auf dein Wort will ich das Netz auswerfen!
6 When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
Und als sie das getan, fingen sie eine große Menge Fische; aber ihr Netz zerriß.
7 They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
Da winkten sie den Gefährten, die im andern Schiffe waren, daß sie kämen und ihnen hülfen; und sie kamen und füllten beide Schiffe, so daß sie zu sinken begannen.
8 Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
Als aber Simon Petrus das sah, fiel er zu den Knien Jesu und sprach: Herr, gehe von mir hinaus; denn ich bin ein sündiger Mensch!
Denn ein Schrecken kam ihn an und alle, die bei ihm waren, wegen des Fischzuges, den sie getan hatten;
10 But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
gleicherweise auch Jakobus und Johannes, die Söhne des Zebedäus, die Simons Gehilfen waren. Und Jesus sprach zu Simon: Fürchte dich nicht; von nun an sollst du Menschen fangen!
11 So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
Und sie brachten die Schiffe ans Land, verließen alles und folgten ihm nach.
12 While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
Und es begab sich, als er in einer der Städte war, siehe, da war ein Mann voll Aussatz. Da er aber Jesus sah, warf er sich auf sein Angesicht, bat ihn und sprach: Herr, wenn du willst, so kannst du mich reinigen!
13 [Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
Da streckte er die Hand aus, rührte ihn an und sprach: Ich will es, sei gereinigt! Und alsbald wich der Aussatz von ihm.
14 Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
Und er befahl ihm, es niemand zu sagen, sondern gehe hin, [sprach er, ] zeige dich dem Priester und opfere für deine Reinigung, wie Mose befohlen hat, ihnen zum Zeugnis!
15 But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
Aber die Kunde von ihm breitete sich desto mehr aus; und große Mengen kamen zusammen, um ihn zu hören und von ihren Krankheiten geheilt zu werden.
16 But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
Er aber hielt sich zurückgezogen an einsamen Orten und betete.
17 One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
Und es begab sich an einem Tage, daß er lehrte; und es saßen Pharisäer da und Gesetzeslehrer, die aus allen Flecken von Galiläa und Judäa und von Jerusalem gekommen waren; und die Kraft des Herrn war [bereit], sie zu heilen.
18 several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
Und siehe, Männer trugen auf einem Bett einen Menschen, der gelähmt war; und sie suchten ihn hineinzubringen und vor ihn zu legen.
19 But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
Und da sie wegen der Volksmenge keine Möglichkeit fanden, ihn hineinzubringen, stiegen sie auf das Dach und ließen ihn mit dem Bett durch die Ziegel hinunter in die Mitte vor Jesus.
20 When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
Und als er ihren Glauben sah, sprach er zu ihm: Mensch, deine Sünden sind dir vergeben!
21 The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
Und die Schriftgelehrten und Pharisäer fingen an, sich darüber Gedanken zu machen, und sprachen: Wer ist dieser, der [solche] Lästerungen ausspricht? Wer kann Sünden vergeben, als nur Gott allein?
22 Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
Da aber Jesus ihre Gedanken merkte, antwortete er und sprach zu ihnen: Was denkt ihr in euren Herzen?
23 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
Was ist leichter, zu sagen: Deine Sünden sind dir vergeben, oder zu sagen: Steh auf und wandle?
24 But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
Damit ihr aber wisset, daß des Menschen Sohn Vollmacht hat, auf Erden Sünden zu vergeben, sprach er zu dem Gelähmten: Ich sage dir, steh auf, nimm dein Bett und gehe heim!
25 Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
Und alsbald stand er auf vor ihren Augen, nahm das Bett, darauf er gelegen hatte, ging heim und pries Gott.
26 All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
Da gerieten alle außer sich vor Staunen, und sie priesen Gott und wurden voll Furcht und sprachen: Wir haben heute Unglaubliches gesehen!
27 Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
Darnach ging er aus und sah einen Zöllner namens Levi beim Zollhaus sitzen und sprach zu ihm: Folge mir nach!
28 So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
Und er verließ alles, stand auf und folgte ihm nach.
29 Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
Und Levi bereitete ihm ein großes Mahl in seinem Hause; und es saß eine große Schar von Zöllnern und andern, die es mit ihnen hielten, zu Tische.
30 The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Und die Schriftgelehrten und Pharisäer murrten wider seine Jünger und sprachen: Warum esset und trinket ihr mit den Zöllnern und Sündern?
31 Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Nicht die Gesunden bedürfen des Arztes, sondern die Kranken;
32 [Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
ich bin nicht gekommen, Gerechte zu rufen, sondern Sünder zur Buße!
33 [Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
Sie aber sprachen zu ihm: Warum fasten die Jünger des Johannes so oft und verrichten Gebete, desgleichen auch die der Pharisäer; die deinigen aber essen und trinken?
34 [To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
Und er sprach zu ihnen: Ihr könnt doch die Hochzeitsleute nicht fasten lassen, solange der Bräutigam bei ihnen ist!
35 [But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
Es werden aber Tage kommen, da der Bräutigam von ihnen genommen sein wird; dann werden sie fasten in jenen Tagen.
36 Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
Er sagte aber auch ein Gleichnis zu ihnen: Niemand reißt ein Stück von einem neuen Kleide und setzt es auf ein altes Kleid; denn sonst zerreißt er auch das neue, und das Stück vom neuen reimt sich nicht zu dem alten.
37 Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
Und niemand faßt neuen Wein in alte Schläuche; denn sonst wird der neue Wein die Schläuche zerreißen, und er selbst wird verschüttet, und die Schläuche kommen um;
38 On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
sondern neuen Wein soll man in neue Schläuche fassen, so werden beide erhalten.
39 Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
Und niemand, der alten trinkt, will neuen; denn er spricht: Der alte ist gesund!
