Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
Hierauf kommen zu Jesus Pharisäer und Schriftgelehrte von Jerusalem und sagen:
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 Ueberlieferung der Alten? Waschen sie doch die Hände nicht, wenn sie Brot 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]
Er aber antwortete ihnen: warum übertretet denn ihr eurerseits das Gebot Gottes eurer Ueberlieferung zu lieb?
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.’
Denn Gott hat verordnet: ehre Vater und Mutter, und: wer Vater oder Mutter lästert, soll des Todes 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 saget: wer zu Vater oder Mutter spricht: Opfergabe soll sein, was du von mir haben könntest,
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 seinen Vater und Mutter nicht zu ehren. So habt ihr das Gesetz Gottes ausgethan eurer Ueberlieferung zu lieb.
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, Jesaias hat richtig von 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 aber hält sich ferne 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].’”
Vergebens ehren sie mich mit ihrem Lehren von Menschengeboten.
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.
Und er rief die Menge herbei und sagte zu ihnen: höret zu und fasset es:
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 das, was in den Mund eingeht, verunreinigt den Menschen, sondern das, was aus dem Munde ausgeht, das verunreinigt den Menschen.
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]?”
Hierauf traten die Jünger herzu und sagen zu ihm: weißt du, daß die Pharisäer sich an dem Wort, das sie da gehört, gestoßen haben?
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 aber antwortete: jede Pflanze, die mein himmlischer Vater nicht gepflanzt, wird ausgerissen 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)
Lasset sie, sie sind blinde Führer von Blinden; wenn aber ein Blinder einen Blinden führt, so werden beide in eine Grube fallen.
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Petrus aber antwortete ihm: deute 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 aber sagte: immer noch seid auch ihr ohne Verständnis?
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].
Merket ihr nicht, daß alles, was zum Munde eingeht, in den Bauch kommt und in den Abort ausgeworfen 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 Munde hervorgeht, das kommt aus dem Herzen, und das verunreinigt den Menschen.
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 kommen hervor böse Gedanken, Mord, Ehebruch, Unzucht, Diebstahl, falsch Zeugnis, Lästerung.
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 die Dinge, die den Menschen verunreinigen. Das Essen mit ungewaschenen Händen aber verunreinigt den Menschen nicht.
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 gieng weg von dort und zog sich zurück in die Gegend 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.”
Und siehe, ein kanaanäisches Weib, die aus jenem Gebiet kam, rief: erbarme dich meiner, Herr, du Sohn Davids. Meine Tochter wird von einem Dämon gequält.
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 antwortete ihr kein Wort. Und da seine Jünger hinzukamen, baten sie ihn, fertige sie ab, sie schreit ja 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].”
Er aber antwortete: ich bin nur gesandt zu den verlornen Schafen vom Hause Israel.
25 But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
Sie aber kam, warf sich vor ihm nieder, und sagte: 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 antwortete: es geht nicht an, das Brot der Kinder zu nehmen und es den Hündlein hinzuwerfen.
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]!”
Sie aber sagte: doch, Herr; essen doch auch die Hündlein von den Brosamen, 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.
Hierauf antwortete ihr Jesus: o Weib, dein Glaube ist groß. Es geschehe dir, wie du willst. Und ihre Tochter ward geheilt von dieser Stunde.
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].
Und Jesus zog weg von da und kam an den galiläischen See, und stieg auf den Berg, und setze sich dort.
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.
Und es kamen zu ihm große Massen mit Lahmen, Verkrümmten, Blinden, Stummen und allerlei Anderen, und sie warfen sie ihm vor die Füße; und er heilte sie, daß sich die Menge wunderte,
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!”
wie sie sahen die Stummen redend, die Verkrümmten gesund, und die Lahmen wandelnd, und die Blinden sehend; 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].”
Jesus aber rief seine Jünger zu sich und sagte: ich habe Mitleid mit der Menge, denn sie harren nun drei Tage bei mir aus, und haben nichts zu essen. Und ich mag sie nicht nüchtern entlassen, sie könnten unterwegs 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]”
Und die Jünger sagen zum ihm: woher sollten wir in der Einöde so viele Brote nehmen, um eine solche Menge 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 sagt zu ihnen: wie viel Brote habt ihr? Sie aber sagten: sieben, und einige Fische.
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Und er befahl der Menge, sich auf den Boden zu 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.
und nahm die sieben Brote und die Fische, und dankte, und brach und gab sie den Jüngern, die Jünger aber den Massen.
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 es aßen alle und wurden satt, und man hob das übrige an Brocken auf, sieben Handkörbe voll.
Die aber aßen, waren viertausend Mann ungerechnet Weiber und Kinder.
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 Massen, bestieg das Schiff und gieng in das Gebiet von Magadan.
