Luke 8
1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
Alsdann durchwanderte er auch selbst nacheinander Städte und Dörfer. Er predigte und verkündete das Evangelium vom Reiche Gottes.
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
Ihn begleiteten die Zwölf und ein paar Frauen, die Heilung von bösen Geistern und von Krankheiten gefunden hatten: Maria, mit dem Beinamen Magdalena, aus der sieben böse Geister ausgefahren waren,
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
sodann Johanna, Eheweib des Chusa, eines der Verwalter des Herodes, Susanna und noch viele andere, die sie mit ihrer Habe unterstützten.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
Als eine große Volksmenge zusammenkam und man aus den Städten zu ihm herbeieilte, trug er dieses Gleichnis vor:
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
"Der Sämann ging aus, seinen Samen auszusäen. Und als er säte, fiel einiges auf den Weg; es ward zertreten, und die Vögel des Himmels fraßen es.
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
Anderes fiel auf steinigen Grund; es ging zwar auf, doch es verdorrte sogleich; denn es fand keine Feuchtigkeit.
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
Wieder anderes fiel unter Dornen; die Dornen wuchsen mit ihm auf und erstickten es.
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
Anderes endlich fiel auf guten Boden; da ging es auf und trug hundertfältige Frucht." Dann sprach er mit erhobener Stimme: "Wer Ohren hat zu hören, höre!"
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
Seine Jünger fragten ihn, was dieses Gleichnis bedeute.
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
Er sprach: "Euch ist es vergönnt, die Geheimnisse des Reiches Gottes zu verstehen; den anderen aber werden sie nur in Gleichnissen vorgetragen, damit sie sehen und doch nicht sehen, und hören, aber nicht zur Einsicht kommen.
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Das Gleichnis will dies besagen: Der Same ist das Wort Gottes.
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
'Auf dem Wege' liegt es bei denen, die das Wort hören; dann kommt der Teufel und nimmt das Wort aus ihren Herzen, damit sie nicht glauben und gerettet werden.
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
'Auf steinigem Grunde' liegt es bei denen, die das Wort zwar hören und mit Freuden aufnehmen; sie haben aber keine Wurzeln; sie glauben nur eine Zeitlang, aber in Zeiten der Versuchung fallen sie ab.
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
Was 'unter Dornen' fällt, sind die, die zwar hören, aber in Sorgen, Reichtümern und Lebensfreuden aufgehen und also es ersticken, ohne Frucht zu bringen.
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
Doch was 'auf guten Boden' fiel, sind die, die das Wort mit gutem und mit frommem Herzen anhören und es bewahren und so Früchte bringen in Beharrlichkeit.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
Niemand, der ein Licht anzündet, deckt es mit einem Topfe zu oder stellt es unters Bett; vielmehr stellt er es auf den Leuchter, damit man beim Eintritt das Licht erblicke.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
Nichts ist verborgen, was nicht offenkundig wird, und nichts geheim, was nicht bekannt wird und so an den Tag kommt.
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
Gebt also darauf acht, wie ihr höret. Wer hat, dem wird gegeben werden; doch wer nicht hat, dem wird auch das genommen werden, was er zu besitzen meint."
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
Da kamen seine Mutter und seine Brüder zu ihm. Doch konnten sie des großen Andranges wegen nicht zu ihm gelangen.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
Da sagte man zu ihm: "Deine Mutter und deine Brüder stehen draußen und möchten dich sehen."
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
Eines Tages stieg er in ein Boot mit seinen Jüngern und sprach zu ihnen: "Laßt uns ans andere Seeufer hinüberfahren." Sie stießen vom Lande ab
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
und fuhren so dahin; er aber schlief. Da stürzte ein Sturmwind auf den See hernieder, das Boot füllte sich mit Wasser, und sie gerieten in Gefahr.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
Sie gingen hin, weckten ihn und riefen: "Meister, Meister, wir sind verloren."
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
Er fragte sie: "Wo ist euer Glaube?" Voll Furcht und voll Verwunderung sprachen sie zueinander: "Wer ist wohl dieser, daß er den Winden und dem Wasser befiehlt, so daß sie ihm gehorchen?"
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
Sie steuerten dem Land der Gergesener zu, das Galiläa gegenüber liegt.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
Kaum war er ans Land gestiegen, als ihm ein Mann aus dieser Stadt entgegenkam, der von Dämonen besessen war. Er trug schon lange keine Kleidung mehr; auch hielt er sich nicht in einem Hause auf, sondern in den Grabhöhlen.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
Als er Jesus sah, stieß er einen lauten Schrei aus, fiel vor ihm nieder und rief mit lauter Stimme: "Was willst du von mir, Jesus, du Sohn des höchsten Gottes? Ich bitte dich: quäle mich nicht."
Er hatte nämlich dem unreinen Geist befohlen, aus dem Manne auszufahren. Schon lange hielt er ihn in seiner Macht. Man hatte ihn mit Fesseln und mit Ketten gebunden und ihn gefangengehalten, doch er hatte die Bande immer wieder zerrissen und ward vom Dämon in die Einöde hinausgetrieben.
30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
Jesus fragte ihn: "Wie ist dein Name?" "Legion", sprach er. Es waren nämlich viele Dämonen in ihn gefahren.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
Sie baten ihn, sie doch nicht in die Hölle zu verweisen. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
Nun war am Berge dort eine große Schweineherde auf der Weide. Sie baten ihn, er möge ihnen gestatten, in diese einzufahren. Und er gewährte es ihnen.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
So fuhren die Dämonen denn von dem Menschen aus in die Schweine. Die Herde raste dann am Abhang hin in den See hinein und ertrank.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
Als die Hirten sahen, was geschehen war, liefen sie davon und erzählten es in der Stadt und auf dem Lande.
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
Man kam zu sehen, was vorgefallen war. Sie kamen auch zu Jesus und sahen den Menschen, von dem die Dämonen gewichen waren, bekleidet und vernünftig zu den Füßen Jesu sitzen; da gerieten sie in Furcht.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
Die zugesehen hatten, erzählten ihnen, wie der Besessene gesund geworden war.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
Da bat ihn die Bevölkerung des Bezirks Gergesa insgesamt, er möge sich von ihnen entfernen; denn große Furcht hielt sie gefangen. So stieg er in ein Boot und kehrte heim.
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
Der Mann, von dem die Dämonen gewichen waren, bat ihn, ob er nicht bei ihm bleiben dürfe. Doch er entließ ihn mit den Worten:
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
"Kehre in dein Haus zurück; erzähle, was Gott an dir getan hat." Da ging er hin und erzählte in der ganzen Stadt, was ihm Jesus getan hatte.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
Bei seiner Rückkehr nahm die Menge Jesus freudig auf; denn alle warteten auf ihn.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
Da kam ein Mann mit Namen Jairus; er war Vorsteher der Synagoge. Er fiel zu den Füßen Jesu nieder und bat ihn, in sein Haus zu kommen.
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
Er hatte eine einzige Tochter von zwölf Jahren; diese lag im Sterben. Als er hinging, war er vom Volk umdrängt.
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
Da war ein Weib, das schon zwölf Jahre lang an Blutfluß litt; sie hatte ihr ganzes Vermögen an die Ärzte ausgegeben und konnte doch bei ihnen keine Heilung finden.
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
Sie trat von hinten her und berührte den Saum seines Kleides, und sogleich hörte der Blutfluß auf.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
Da fragte Jesus: "Wer hat mich angerührt?" Alle leugneten es; Petrus und die bei ihm waren, sprachen: "Meister, die Scharen schieben und drängen dich und da fragst du noch: 'Wer hat mich angerührt?' "
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Doch Jesus gab zur Antwort: "Es hat mich jemand angerührt; ich habe es gefühlt, wie eine Kraft von mir ausgegangen ist."
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
Da sah das Weib, daß sie nicht unbemerkt geblieben war. Und zitternd kam sie her, fiel vor ihm nieder und erzählte dann vor allem Volk, weshalb sie ihn berührt und wie sie auch sofort geheilt worden sei.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
Er aber sprach zu ihr. "Meine Tochter, dein Glaube hat dir geholfen. Geh hin im Frieden."
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
Noch sprach er so, da kam jemand vom Hause des Synagogenvorstehers und sprach zu ihm: "Deine Tochter ist schon tot; bemühe den Meister nicht mehr weiter."
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Als Jesus dies vernahm, sprach er zu ihm: "Hab keine Furcht! Glaube nur! Sie wird gerettet werden."
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
Am Hause angekommen, ließ er niemand mit sich hinein, nur Petrus, Johannes und Jakobus sowie den Vater und die Mutter des Mädchens.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
Alle weinten und klagten über sie. Er aber sprach: "Weinet nicht! Sie ist nicht tot; sie schläft nur."
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
Doch sie verlachten ihn; sie wußten ja, daß sie gestorben war.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Da faßte er sie bei der Hand und rief: "Mädchen, steh auf!"
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
Da kehrte ihr Geist zurück, und sogleich stand sie auf. Dann ließ er ihr zu essen geben.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
Ihre Eltern waren außer sich vor Staunen; er aber schärfte ihnen ein, von dem, was geschehen war, mit niemand zu reden.
