Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
Da kamen zu Jesus die Schriftgelehrten und Pharisäer von Jerusalem, und sprachen:
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 Überlieferungen der Ältesten? denn sie waschen ihre 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, und sprach zu ihnen: Warum übertretet auch ihr das Gebot Gottes, um euerer Überlieferung willen?
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 gesagt: "Ehre Vater und Mutter!" und: "wer Vater oder Mutter flucht, der 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 sagt: Wer zum Vater, oder zur Mutter spricht: Opfer sei, was dir von mir zu gute kommen könnte! der braucht seinen Vater, oder seine Mutter, nicht zu ehren.
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.
Und so habt ihr das Wort Gottes durch eure Überlieferung aufgehoben.
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! Trefflich hat von euch Jesaias geweissagt, da er spricht:
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, aber ihr Herz ist 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].’”
Aber vergeblich dienen sie mir, dieweil sie lehren solche Lehren, die nichts denn Menschengebote sind."
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 Volkshaufen zu sich, und sprach zu ihnen: Höret und verstehet!
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 was aus dem Mund 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]?”
Da kamen seine Jünger herbei und sprachen zu ihm: Weißt du, daß die Pharisäer sich ärgerten, als sie das Wort hörten?
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, und sprach: Jegliche Pflanze, welche mein himmlischer Vater nicht gepflanzt hat, 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 Blindenleiter. Wenn aber ein Blinder einen Blinden leitet, so fallen sie beide in eine Grube.
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Petrus aber antwortete, und sprach zu ihm: Deute uns dies 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 sprach: Seid auch ihr noch immer 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].
Begreift ihr nicht, daß alles, was in den Mund eingeht, den Bauch durchläuft, und in den Abtritt fällt?
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 herausgeht aus dem Munde, 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 böse Gedanken, Mordtaten, Ehebrüche, Hurereien, Diebstähle, falsche Zeugnisse, Lästerungen;
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.”
Diese sind es, die den Menschen verunreinigen, aber mit ungewaschenen Händen zu essen, 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 ging aus von dannen, und entwich 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 kananäisches Weib aus jenen Grenzen kam, schrie ihm zu, und sprach: Erbarme dich meiner, Herr, Sohn Davids! denn meine Tochter ist arg besessen.
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 nicht ein Wort. Und es kamen seine Jünger herzu, baten ihn, und sprachen: Fertige sie ab! denn sie schreit uns nach.
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, und sprach: Ich bin nicht gesandt außer zu den verlorenen Scharfen im 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, fiel vor ihm nieder, und sprach: 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, und sprach: Es ist nicht schön, wenn man das Brot der Kinder nimmt, und gibt es den Hündlein.
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 sprach: Ja, Herr! doch essen auch die Hündlein von den Brocken, die von den Tischen ihrer Herrn 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 antwortete Jesus, und sprach zu ihr: O Weib! groß ist dein Glaube! Dir geschehe, wie du willst! 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].
Und Jesus zog von dannen weg, und kam an den See Galiläas, und er stieg auf einen Berg, und setzte sich daselbst.
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 viele Volkshaufen, die hatten bei sich Lahme, Blinde, Stumme, Krüppel, und viele andere, und legten sie vor seine Füße, 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!”
So daß sich die Volkshaufen verwunderten, als sie sahen, daß die Stummen redeten, die Krüppel heil wurden, die Lahmen wandelten, und die Blinden sahen; 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 herbei, und sprach: Es jammert mich des Volks, denn schon drei Tage sind die bei mir geblieben, und haben nichts zu essen; und ich will sie nicht ungegessen von mir lassen, auf daß sie nicht 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]”
Und seine Jünger sagten ihm: Woher mögen wir so viel Brot nehmen in der Wüste, daß wir so viel Volk 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 ihnen: Wieviel Brot habt ihr? Sie sprachen: Sieben, und wenige Fische.
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Und er befahl den Volkshaufen sich niederzulassen auf die Erde.
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 er nahm die sieben Brote und die Fische, sagte Dank, brach, und gab seinen Jüngern, die Jünger aber dem Volkshaufen.
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 sie aßen alle, und wurden satt, und hoben auf, was überblieb an Brocken, sieben Körbe voll.
Die aber gegessen hatten, waren viertausend Männer, ohne 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 das Volk, und stieg in das Boot, und kam in die Gegend Magdala.
