Matthew 10
1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
Und er rief seine zwölf Jünger zu sich und gab ihnen Macht über die unsaubern Geister, daß sie dieselbigen austrieben und heileten allerlei Seuche und allerlei Krankheit.
2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
Die Namen aber der zwölf Apostel sind diese: Der erste Simon, genannt Petrus, und Andreas, sein Bruder; Jakobus, des Zebedäus Sohn, und Johannes, sein Bruder;
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
Philippus und Bartholomäus; Thomas und Matthäus, der Zöllner; Jakobus, des Alphäus Sohn; Lebbäus mit dem Zunamen Thaddäus;
4 Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
Simon von Kana und Judas Ischariot, welcher ihn verriet.
5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
Diese zwölf sandte Jesus, gebot ihnen und sprach: Gehet nicht auf der Heiden Straße und ziehet nicht in der Samariter Städte,
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
sondern gehet hin zu den verloren Schafen aus dem Hause Israel.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Gehet aber und prediget und sprecht: Das Himmelreich ist nahe herbeikommen.
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Machet die Kranken gesund, reiniget die Aussätzigen, wecket die Toten auf, treibet die Teufel aus! Umsonst habt ihr's empfangen, umsonst gebet es auch.
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Ihr sollt nicht Gold noch Silber noch Erz in euren Gürteln haben,
auch keine Tasche zur Wegfahrt, auch nicht zwei Röcke, keine Schuhe, auch keinen Stecken. Denn ein Arbeiter ist seiner Speise wert.
11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
Wo ihr aber in eine Stadt oder Markt gehet, da erkundiget euch, ob jemand darinnen sei, der es wert ist; und bei demselben bleibet, bis ihr von dannen ziehet.
Wo ihr aber in ein Haus gehet, so grüßet dasselbige.
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
Und so es dasselbige Haus wert ist, wird euer Friede auf sie kommen. Ist es aber nicht wert, so wird sich euer Friede wieder zu euch wenden.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
Und wo euch jemand nicht annehmen wird noch eure Rede hören, so gehet heraus von demselbigen Hause oder Stadt und schüttelt den Staub von euren Füßen.
15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
Wahrlich, ich sage euch, dem Lande der Sodomer und Gomorrer wird es erträglicher ergehen am Jüngsten Gericht denn solcher Stadt.
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
Siehe, ich sende euch wie Schafe mitten unter die Wölfe; darum seid klug wie die Schlangen und ohne Falsch wie die Tauben!
17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
Hütet euch aber vor den Menschen! Denn sie werden euch überantworten vor ihre Rathäuser und werden euch geißeln in ihren Schulen.
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
Und man wird euch vor Fürsten und Könige führen um meinetwillen zum Zeugnis über sie und über die Heiden.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Wenn sie euch nun überantworten werden, so sorget nicht, wie oder was ihr reden sollt; denn es soll euch zu der Stunde gegeben werden, was ihr reden sollt.
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
Denn ihr seid es nicht, die da reden, sondern eures Vaters Geist ist es, der durch euch redet.
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
Es wird aber ein Bruder den andern zum Tod überantworten und der Vater den Sohn, und die Kinder werden sich empören wider ihre Eltern und ihnen zum Tode helfen.
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
Und müsset gehasset werden von jedermann um meines Namens willen. Wer aber bis an das Ende beharret, der wird selig.
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
Wenn sie euch aber in einer Stadt verfolgen, so fliehet in eine andere. Wahrlich, ich sage euch, ihr werdet die Städte Israels nicht ausrichten, bis des Menschen Sohn kommt.
24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
Der Jünger ist nicht über seinen Meister noch der Knecht über den HERRN.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Es ist dem Jünger genug, daß er sei wie sein Meister und der Knecht wie sein HERR. Haben sie den Hausvater Beelzebub geheißen, wieviel mehr werden sie seine Hausgenossen also heißen!
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
Darum fürchtet euch nicht vor ihnen! Es ist nichts verborgen, das nicht offenbar werde, und ist nichts heimlich, das man nicht wissen werde.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
Was ich euch sage in Finsternis, das redet im Licht, und was ihr höret in das Ohr, das prediget auf den Dächern.
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Und fürchtet euch nicht vor denen, die den Leib töten und die Seele nicht mögen töten. Fürchtet euch aber vielmehr vor dem, der Leib und Seele verderben mag in die Hölle. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Kauft man nicht zwei Sperlinge um einen Pfennig? Noch fällt derselbigen keiner auf die Erde ohne euren Vater.
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
Nun aber sind auch eure Haare auf dem Haupt alle gezählet.
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Darum fürchtet euch nicht; ihr seid besser denn viele Sperlinge.
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
Darum, wer mich bekennet vor den Menschen, den will ich bekennen vor meinem himmlischen Vater.
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
Wer mich aber verleugnet vor den Menschen, den will ich auch verleugnen vor meinem himmlischen Vater.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
Ihr sollt nicht wähnen, daß ich kommen sei, Frieden zu senden auf Erden. Ich bin nicht kommen, Frieden zu senden, sondern das Schwert.
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
Denn ich bin kommen, den Menschen zu erregen wider seinen Vater und die Tochter wider ihre Mutter und die Schnur wider ihre Schwieger.
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
Und des Menschen Feinde werden seine eigenen Hausgenossen sein.
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
Wer Vater oder Mutter mehr liebet denn mich, der ist mein nicht wert; und wer Sohn oder Tochter mehr liebt denn mich, der ist mein nicht wert.
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
Und wer nicht sein Kreuz auf sich nimmt und folget mir nach, der ist mein nicht wert.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
Wer 'sein Leben findet, der wird's verlieren; und wer sein Leben verlieret um meinetwillen, der wird's finden.
40 “[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
Wer euch aufnimmt, der nimmt mich auf; und wer mich aufnimmt, der nimmt den auf, der mich gesandt hat.
41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
Wer einen Propheten aufnimmt in eines Propheten Namen, der wird eines Propheten Lohn empfahen. Wer einen Gerechten aufnimmt in eines Gerechten Namen, der wird eines Gerechten Lohn empfahen.
42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
Und wer dieser Geringsten einen nur mit einem Becher kalten Wassers tränket in eines Jüngers Namen, wahrlich, ich sage euch, es wird ihm nicht unbelohnet bleiben!
