Mark 13
1 While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
Als er den Tempel verließ, da redete ihn einer seiner Jünger an: "Schau, Meister, was für Steine, was für Bauten!"
2 Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
Doch Jesus sprach zu ihm: "Siehst du die so gewaltigen Bauten? Hier wird kein Stein auf dem anderen bleiben, der nicht niedergerissen werden wird."
3 After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
Dann ließ er sich dem Tempel gegenüber auf dem Ölberg nieder; da fragten ihn Petrus, Jakobus, Johannes und Andreas im geheimen:
4 “Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
"Sag uns: Wann wird das geschehen, und welches wird das Zeichen sein, wann all das sich zu vollenden beginnt?"
5 Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
Da fing Jesus an, ihnen zu erklären: "Seht zu, daß euch niemand irreführe.
6 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 deceive many people.
Viele werden unter meinem Namen kommen und behaupten: 'Ich bin es.' Und sie werden viele irreführen.
7 Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
Wenn ihr von Kriegen und von Kriegsgerüchten hört, so laßt euch nicht erschrecken. Denn das muß geschehen, doch es ist noch nicht das Ende.
8 [Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
Denn Volk wird sich gegen Volk erheben und Reich gegen Reich; an vielen Orten wird es Erdbeben geben, und Hungersnöte werden sein; doch dies ist erst der Anfang der Wehen.
9 Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
Doch. seht euch für euch selber vor. Man wird euch den Gerichten übergeben und euch in Synagogen geißeln; vor Statthalter und Könige wird man euch um meinetwillen stellen, ihnen zum Zeugnis.
10 My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
Doch zuvor muß bei allen Völkern das Evangelium verkündet werden.
11 And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
Wenn ihr dann den Gerichten ausgeliefert werdet, so macht euch vorher keine Sorge, was ihr reden sollt, vielmehr was euch in jener Stunde eingegeben wird, das saget. Denn alsdann seid nicht ihr es, die da reden; es ist vielmehr der Heilige Geist.
12 [Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
Der Bruder wird den eigenen Bruder zum Tode überliefern, der Vater das eigene Kind; Kinder werden gegen ihre Eltern auftreten und sie in den Tod bringen.
13 [In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
Von allen werdet ihr um meines Namens willen gehaßt werden, doch wer ausharrt bis ans Ende, wird gerettet werden.
14 [During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
Wenn ihr jedoch den Greuel der Verwüstung dort herrschen seht, wo es nicht sein soll - der Leser möge dies wohl beachten -, dann fliehe ins Gebirge, wer in Judäa ist.
15 Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
Wer auf dem Dache ist, der steige nicht in sein Haus hinab; auch gehe er nicht hinein, um irgend etwas aus seinem Hause zu holen.
16 Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
Wer auf dem Felde ist, der wende sich nicht um, sein Oberkleid zu holen.
17 But I feel very sorry for women 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]
Doch wehe den Frauen, die in jenen Tagen ein Kindlein unterm Herzen oder an der Brust tragen.
18 In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
Betet, daß dies nicht zur Winterszeit geschehe.
Jene Tage werden nämlich eine Trübsal bedeuten, wie sie noch nie gewesen, seitdem Gott im Anfang die Schöpfung schuf bis jetzt, noch auch jemals sein wird.
20 If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
Und hätte der Herr die Tage nicht abgekürzt, so würde niemand gerettet werden. Doch um der Auserwählten willen, die er sich auserwählte, hat er die Tage abgekürzt.
21 [At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
Wenn dann jemand zu euch sagt: 'Siehe, hier ist Christus.' 'Siehe, dort.' Glaubt es nicht!
Denn falsche Christusse und falsche Propheten werden sich erheben: Sie werden Zeichen und Wunder tun, so daß, wenn es möglich wäre, sogar die Auserwählten verführt würden.
23 Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
So seht euch vor! Seht, ich sage euch alles vorher.
24 After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
Sogleich nach der Trübsal jener Tage wird sich die Sonne verfinstern; der Mond wird seinen Schein nicht geben;
25 the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
die Sterne werden vom Himmel fallen, die Kräfte des Himmels erschüttert werden.
26 Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
Dann wird man den Menschensohn auf Wolken kommen sehen mit großer Macht und Herrlichkeit.
27 Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
Dann wird er seine Engel aussenden und seine Auserwählten sammeln von den vier Richtungen des Windes, von der Erde tiefstem Ende bis zum höchsten Himmel.
28 Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Vom Feigenbaum aber lernt es im Gleichnis: Wenn seine Zweige einmal saftig werden und er schon Blätter treibt, dann wisset ihr: Der Sommer ist nahe.
29 Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
So sollt auch ihr, wenn ihr dies geschehen seht, erkennen, daß es schon vor der Türe steht.
30 Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Dieses Geschlecht wird nicht vergehen, bis all dies geschehen wird.
31 You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
Himmel und Erde werden vergehen, doch meine Worte werden nicht vergehen.
32 But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
Von jenem Tag aber und der Stunde weiß niemand etwas, nicht die Engel des Himmels, auch nicht der Sohn, sondern nur der Vater.
33 So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
So seid denn auf der Hut; seid wachsam betet! Ihr wißt ja nicht, wann der Zeitpunkt da ist.
34 When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
Es wird euch ergehen wie einem Manne, der in die Fremde ziehen wollte: Er verließ sein Haus, gab seinen Knechten alle Vollmacht, wies einem jeden seine Arbeit zu; dem Torhüter trug er auf, wachsam zu sein.
35 [That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
So seid denn wachsam; ihr wißt nicht, wann der Herr des Hauses kommt, ob spät am Abend oder erst um Mitternacht, ob beim Hahnenschrei oder am frühen Morgen.
36 [May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
Er könnte unerwartet kommen und euch schlafend finden.
37 These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
Was ich euch sage, gilt allen: Wachet!"
