Mark 7
1 [One day some] Pharisees and some men who teach the [Jewish] laws gathered around Jesus. They had come from Jerusalem [to investigate him].
Und es versammeln sich bei ihm die Pharisäer und einige von den Schriftgelehrten, welche von Jerusalem gekommen waren,
2 The Pharisees and all of the [other] Jews [strictly] observe the traditions that their ancestors [taught. For example, they refuse to] eat until they first wash their hands [with a special ritual], especially after they [return] from [buying things in] the marketplace. [They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched] ([them/the things they bought]). There are many other such [traditions] that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash [in a special way] their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds [in order that using these things will not make God reject them].
und da sie einige Jünger mit unreinen Händen, das heißt mit ungewaschenen, die Brote essen sahen
(denn die Pharisäer und alle Juden essen nicht, ohne sich eifrig die Hände zu waschen, indem sie an der Ueberlieferung der Alten festhalten,
und vom Markte her essen sie nichts ohne Besprengung, und noch manches Andere halten sie nach der Ueberlieferung, Waschungen von Bechern, Krügen und Kesseln)
5 That day, those Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws saw that some of his disciples were eating food with hands that they had not washed [using the special ritual]. So they questioned Jesus, saying, “[Your] disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors! (You should not [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]!/Why do you [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]?) [RHQ]”
da befragen ihn die Pharisäer und die Schriftgelehrten: warum wandeln deine Jünger nicht nach er Ueberlieferung der Alten, sondern essen das Brot mir unreinen Händen?
6 Jesus said to them, “Isaiah [rebuked your ancestors], and his words describe very well you people who only pretend to be good! He wrote these words [that God said]: These people speak [as if they] honor me, but they [SYN] really do not think about honoring me at all.
Er aber sagte zu ihnen: Jesaias hat richtig geweissagt von euch Heuchlern, wie geschrieben steht: dieses Volk ehrt mich mit den Lippen, ihr Herz aber hält sich ferne von mir.
7 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
Vergebens ehren sie mich mit ihrem Lehren von Menschengeboten.
8 You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
Gottes Gebot laßt ihr dahinten und haltet an der Ueberlieferung der Menschen.
9 Jesus also said to them, “[You think] [IRO] that you are clever in refusing to do what God commanded just so that you can obey your own traditions!
Und er sagte zu ihnen: Ja wohl, Gottes Gebot verleugnet ihr, um eure Ueberlieferung zu halten.
10 [For example, our ancestor] Moses [wrote God’s] command, ‘Honor your fathers and your mothers’. He also wrote, ‘[The authorities must] execute a person who speaks evil about his father or mother.’
Denn Moses hat gesagt: ehre deinen Vater und deine Mutter, und: wer Vater oder Mutter schmäht, soll des Todes sterben.
11 But you [teach people that it is all right that people no longer must help their parents. You teach people that it is all right if people] give their things to God [instead of giving them to their parents]. You allow them to say to their parents, ‘What I was going to give to you [to provide for you, I have now promised to] give to God. So I [cannot any longer help you]!’ As a result, you are [actually telling people] that they no longer have to help their parents!
Ihr aber sagt: wenn ein Mensch zu Vater oder Mutter sagt: Korban, das heißt: eine Opfergabe, soll sein, was du von mir zu Nutzen nimmst,
den lasset ihr für Vater oder Mutter nichts mehr leisten.
13 And, by doing that, you disregard what God commanded! You teach your own traditions to others [and tell them strongly that they should obey them] And you do many other things like that.”
So thut ihr das Wort Gottes aus mit eurer Ueberlieferung, die ihr weiter gabet, und noch allerlei dergleichen thut ihr.
14 Then Jesus again summoned the crowd [to come closer. Then] he said to them [figuratively], “All of you people listen to me! [Try to] understand [DOU] [what I am about to tell you].
Und er rief wieder die Menge herbei, und sagte zu ihnen: hört auf mich alle, und fasset es.
15 Nothing that people eat causes [God to] consider them to be unacceptable. On the contrary, it is that which comes from people’s (inner beings/hearts) that causes God to reject them.”
Nichts was von außerhalb des Menschen in ihn eingeht, kann ihn verunreinigen, sondern das, was aus dem Menschen ausgeht, ist es, was den Menschen verunreinigt.
Wer Ohren hat zu hören, höre.
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and then entered a house with the disciples, they asked him about the parable [that he had just spoken].
Und wie er von der Menge weg nach Hause gekommen war, befragten ihn seine Jünger nach dem Gleichnis.
18 He replied, “([I am disappointed that] you also do not understand [what it means]!/Why can you not understand [what it means]?) [RHQ] (You ought to understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him./Can you not understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside of us can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him?) [RHQ]
Und er sagt zu ihnen: So seid auch ihr ohne Verständnis? Merket ihr nicht, daß alles, was von außen in den Menschen eingeht, ihn nicht verunreinigen kann,
19 Instead of entering [and ruining] our minds/souls, it goes into our stomachs, and afterwards the refuse passes out [of our bodies].” By saying this, Jesus was declaring that people [can eat] any food without causing [God] to reject them.
weil es nicht in sein Herz kommt, sondern in den Bauch, und in den Abort ausgeht und werden alle Speisen so gereinigt.
20 He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
Er aber sagte: Das, was aus dem Menschen ausgeht, das verunreinigt den Menschen.
21 Specifically, it is people’s innermost being [that causes them to] think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal [things], they commit murder.
Denn von inwendig aus dem Herzen der Menschen gehen hervor die bösen Gedanken, Unzucht, Diebstahl, Mord,
22 They [commit] adultery, they are greedy, they [act] maliciously, they deceive [people]. They [act] indecently, they envy [people], they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they [act] foolishly.
Ehebruch, Habsucht, Bosheiten, Trug, Schwelgerei, böser Blick, Lästerung, Hochmuth, Leichtsinn.
23 People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
Alles dieses Böse geht von innen aus und verunreinigt den Menschen.
24 After Jesus [and his disciples] left [Galilee district], they went to the region around Tyre. While he stayed at a certain house, he desired that no one know [it], but people soon found out [that he was there].
Er brach aber auf von da und zog in das Gebiet von Tyrus. Und er kam in ein Haus, und wollte, daß es niemand merke; und er konnte nicht verborgen bleiben.
25 A certain woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit [within her], heard about Jesus. At once she came to him and prostrated herself at his feet.
Sondern alsbald hatte eine Frau, deren Töchterlein einen unreinen Geist hatte, von ihm gehört, kam und fiel ihm zu Füßen.
26 This woman [was not a Jew. Her ancestors came] from Greece [country], but she was born in [the region around] Phoenicia [town] in Syria district. She pleaded with Jesus that he expel the evil spirit from her daughter.
Die Frau war aber eine Griechin, von Geburt eine Syrophönikerin; und sie bat ihn, daß er den Dämon aus ihrer Tochter treibe.
27 But he [wanted to see how strongly she believed in him. So, suggesting that he should help the Jews first and not the non-Jews whom some Jews called dogs] [MET], [he] spoke to her saying, “First let the children eat all they want, because it is not good for someone to take the food [the mother has prepared] for the children and then throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Und er sagte zu ihr: laß erst die Kinder satt werden; denn es ist nicht recht, das Brot der Kinder nehmen und den Hündlein hinwerfen.
28 But [to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God] [MET], she replied to him, “Sir, [what you say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs, which lie under the table, eat the crumbs that the children [drop].”
Sie aber antwortete und sagt zu ihm: doch, Herr, auch die Hündlein unter dem Tische essen von den Brosamen der Kinder.
29 [Jesus] said to her, “Because of what you have said, [you have shown me that you believe in what I can do for you]. So I will help you. Now you may go [home, because I have caused] the evil spirit to leave your daughter.”
Und er sagte zu ihr: um dieses Wortes willen, gehe hin: der Dämon ist aus deiner Tochter gewichen.
30 The woman returned to her house and saw that her child was lying [quietly] on the bed and that the evil spirit had left.
Und sie gieng heim, und fand das Kind auf dem Bette liegen und den Dämon entwichen.
31 Jesus [and his disciples] left the region around Tyre [city] and went [north] through Sidon [city], then [toward the east] through the district of the Ten Towns, and then [south] to [the towns near] Lake Galilee.
Und wiederum, nachdem er weggegangen aus dem Gebiet von Tyrus, gieng er über Sidon, an den galiläischen See in das Gebiet der Dekapolis.
32 [There], people brought to him a man who was deaf and who could hardly talk. They begged [Jesus] to lay his hands on him [in order to heal him].
Und sie bringen ihm einen, der taub und stumm war, und baten ihn, daß er ihm die Hand auflege.
33 [So Jesus] took him away from the crowd [in order that the two of them could be] alone. Then he put [one of] his fingers into [each of] the man’s ears. After he spat [on his fingers], he touched the man’s tongue [with his fingers].
Und er nahm ihn von der Menge beiseit, und legte ihm seine Finger in die Ohren, spuckte und berührte ihm damit die Zunge, und blickte auf zum Himmel,
34 Then he looked up toward heaven, he sighed [because he was concerned for the man], and then [in his own language] he said to the man’s [ears], “Ephphatha”, which means, “Be opened {Open up}!”.
seufzte, und sagt zu ihm: Ephata, das heißt: thue dich auf.
35 At once the man could hear plainly [MTY]. He also began to speak clearly because [what was causing him to be unable to speak] was healed {Jesus healed [what was causing him to be unable to speak]}.
Und seine Ohren thaten sich auf, und das Band seiner Zunge ward gelöst, und er sprach richtig.
36 Jesus told ([the people/his friends]) not to tell anyone [what he had done]. But, although he ordered them [and others] repeatedly [not to tell anyone about it], they kept talking about it very much.
Und er befahl ihnen, es niemand zu sagen. Je mehr er es aber ihnen anbefahl, desto mehr verkündeten sie es.
37 [People who heard about it] were utterly amazed and were saying [enthusiastically], “Everything he has done is wonderful! [Besides doing other amazing things], he enables deaf people to hear! And he enables those who cannot speak to speak!”
Und sie waren überaus betroffen und sagten: er hat alles wohlgemacht, die Tauben macht er hören und die Sprachlosen reden.
