Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
Da kamen aus Jerusalem Pharisäer und Schriftgelehrte zu Jesus mit der Frage:
2 “(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
"Warum übertreten deine Jünger die Überlieferung der Alten? Sie waschen ja ihre Hände nicht, bevor sie essen."
3 Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
Allein er fragte sie: "Warum übertretet ihr das Gebot Gottes eurer Überlieferung zulieb? Gott hat geboten:
4 God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
'Du sollst Vater und Mutter ehren' und 'Wer Vater oder Mutter schmäht, soll sterben'.
5 But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
Ihr aber sagt: 'Wer zu Vater oder Mutter spricht: Was ich dir zu leisten hätte, ist Opfergabe,
6 And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
der braucht Vater und Mutter nicht zu ehren.' Damit entkräftigt ihr das Gesetz Gottes eurer Überlieferung zulieb.
7 You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
Ihr Heuchler! Richtig hat Isaias über euch geweissagt:
8 ‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
'Dieses Volk ehrt mich mit den Lippen; ihr Herz jedoch ist weit von mir;
9 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
nichtig ist ihr Gottesdienst: Menschensatzungen machen sie zu ihrer Lehre.'"
10 Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
Er rief sodann die Scharen zu sich her und sprach zu ihnen: "Höret und verstehet es wohl:
11 Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
Nicht was zum Munde eingeht, macht den Menschen unrein, sondern was vom Munde ausgeht, das macht den Menschen unrein."
12 Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
Da traten seine Jünger zu ihm hin und sprachen: "Weißt du, daß die Pharisäer, als sie diese Worte hörten, Anstoß nahmen?"
13 Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
Er erwiderte: "Jede Pflanzung, die mein himmlischer Vater nicht gepflanzt hat, wird ausgerottet werden.
14 Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
Laßt sie! Sie sind ja blinde Blindenführer. Wenn ein Blinder einen Blinden führt, fallen beide in die Grube."
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Petrus sprach zu ihm: "Erkläre uns das Gleichnis"
16 He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
Er sagte: "Seid auch ihr noch so unverständig?
17 (You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
Versteht ihr wirklich nicht, daß alles, was durch den Mund eingeht, in den Magen kommt und dann ausgeschieden wird?
18 [You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
Was aber aus dem Mund ausgeht, kommt aus dem Herzen, und dies macht den Menschen unrein.
19 It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
Denn aus dem Herzen gehen schändliche Gedanken, Mord, Ehebruch, Unzucht, Diebstahl, falsches Zeugnis und Lästerungen hervor.
20 It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
Das sind Dinge, die den Menschen unrein machen. Jedoch mit ungewaschenen Händen essen, macht den Menschen nicht unrein."
21 After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
Und Jesus ging von dort hinweg und begab sich in das Land von Tyrus und Sidon.
22 A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
Da kam eine Kanaanäerin aus jener Gegend; diese rief: "Erbarme dich meiner, Herr, du Sohn Davids! Meine Tochter wird von einem Dämon arg geplagt."
23 But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
Er aber würdigte sie keines Wortes. Da traten seine Jünger vor ihn hin und baten ihn: "Schick sie doch weg; sie schreit hinter uns her."
24 But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
Doch Jesus sprach zu ihnen: "Ich bin nur zu den verirrten Schafen des Hauses Israel gesandt."
25 But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
Da kam sie her und fiel vor ihm nieder mit den Worten: "Herr, hilf mir!"
26 Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Er aber gab zur Antwort: "Es ist nicht recht, den Kindern das Brot wegzunehmen und es den Hunden vorzuwerfen."
27 [But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
Doch sie entgegnete: "Gewiß, Herr. Doch auch die Hunde fressen von den Brocken, die von dem Tische ihrer Herren fallen."
28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
Da sprach Jesus zu ihr: "O Weib! Dein Glaube ist groß. Es sei dir gewährt, worum du bittest." Und ihre Tochter war von jener Stunde an geheilt.
29 After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
Von dort begab sich Jesus weiter; er kam an das Meer von Galiläa, stieg auf einen Berg und setzte sich dort nieder.
30 Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
Große Scharen traten zu ihm hin; sie hatten Lahme, Krüppel, Blinde, Stumme und noch andere Kranke bei sich. Sie legten diese vor ihm nieder, und er heilte sie.
31 The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
Die Scharen staunten, da sie sahen, wie Lahme gingen und wie Blinde sehend wurden. Und sie priesen den Gott Israels.
32 Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
Da rief Jesus seine Jünger zu sich her und sprach: "Mich erbarmt des Volkes. Sie harren schon drei Tage bei mir aus und haben nichts zu essen. Ich kann sie nicht hungrig entlassen; sonst möchten sie auf dem Wege verschmachten."
33 We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
Die Jünger gaben ihm zur Antwort: "Woher sollen wir in der Steppe so viel Brot bekommen, um eine solche Schar zu sättigen?"
34 Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
Und Jesus fragte sie: "Wie viele Brote habt ihr?" Sie sprachen: "Sieben, dazu noch ein paar kleine Fische."
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Nun hieß er die Scharen sich auf den Boden lagern.
36 Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
Dann nahm er die sieben Brote und die Fische, dankte, brach sie und gab sie den Jüngern; die Jünger gaben sie der Menge.
37 [Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
Und alle aßen und wurden satt. Ja, sie trugen noch sieben Körbe weg, voll mit Stücken, die übriggeblieben waren.
Derer, die gegessen hatten, waren es viertausend Männer, die Frauen und Kinder nicht gerechnet.
39 After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
Und er entließ die Scharen, bestieg das Boot und gelangte in die Gegend von Magadan.
