Matthew 19
1 After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
Und es geschah, als Jesus diese Reden vollendet hatte, begab er sich von Galiläa hinweg und kam in das Gebiet von Judäa, jenseit des Jordan.
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
Und es folgten ihm große Volksmengen, und er heilte sie daselbst.
3 [Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
Und die Pharisäer kamen zu ihm, versuchten ihn und sprachen: Ist es einem Manne erlaubt, aus jeder Ursache sein Weib zu entlassen?
4 Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
Er aber antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Habt ihr nicht gelesen, daß der, welcher sie schuf, von Anfang sie Mann und Weib [Eig. männlich und weiblich] schuf [O. welcher sie von Anfang machte, sie Mann und Weib machte; vergl. 1. Mose 1,27;5,2]
5 That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
und sprach: "Um deswillen wird ein Mensch Vater und Mutter verlassen und seinem Weibe anhangen, und es werden die zwei ein Fleisch sein"; [1. Mose 2,24]
6 Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
so daß sie nicht mehr zwei sind, sondern ein Fleisch? Was nun Gott zusammengefügt hat, soll der Mensch nicht scheiden.
7 The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
Sie sagen zu ihm: Warum hat denn Moses geboten, einen Scheidebrief zu geben und sie zu entlassen?
8 He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
Er spricht zu ihnen: Moses hat wegen eurer [Eig. in Hinsicht auf eure] Herzenshärtigkeit euch gestattet, eure Weiber zu entlassen; von Anfang aber ist es nicht also gewesen.
9 I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
Ich sage euch aber, daß, wer irgend sein Weib entlassen wird, nicht wegen Hurerei, und eine andere heiraten wird, Ehebruch begeht; und wer eine Entlassene heiratet, begeht Ehebruch.
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
Seine Jünger sagen zu ihm: Wenn die Sache des Mannes mit dem Weibe also steht, so ist es nicht ratsam zu heiraten.
11 Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Nicht alle fassen dieses Wort, sondern denen es gegeben ist;
12 There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
denn es gibt Verschnittene, die von Mutterleibe also geboren sind; und es gibt Verschnittene, die von den Menschen verschnitten worden sind; und es gibt Verschnittene, die sich selbst verschnitten haben um des Reiches der Himmel willen. Wer es zu fassen vermag, der fasse es.
13 Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
Dann wurden Kindlein zu ihm gebracht, auf daß er ihnen die Hände auflege und bete; die Jünger aber verwiesen es ihnen.
14 But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are, who can experience God’s rule [in their lives].”
Jesus aber sprach: Lasset die Kindlein und wehret ihnen nicht, zu mir zu kommen, denn solcher ist das Reich der Himmel.
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
Und er legte ihnen die Hände auf und ging von dannen hinweg.
16 [As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Und siehe, einer trat herzu und sprach zu ihm: Lehrer, welches Gute soll ich tun, auf daß ich ewiges Leben habe? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
Er aber sprach zu ihm: Was fragst du mich über das Gute? Einer ist gut. [W. der Gute] Wenn du aber ins Leben eingehen willst, so halte die Gebote.
18 The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
Er spricht zu ihm: Welche? Jesus aber sprach: Diese: Du sollst nicht töten; du sollst nicht ehebrechen; du sollst nicht stehlen; du sollst nicht falsches Zeugnis geben;
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
ehre den Vater und die Mutter, und: du sollst deinen Nächsten lieben wie dich selbst.
20 [Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
Der Jüngling spricht zu ihm: Alles dieses habe ich beobachtet; was fehlt mir noch?
21 Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Jesus sprach zu ihm: Wenn du vollkommen sein willst, so gehe hin, verkaufe deine Habe und gib den Armen, und du wirst einen Schatz im Himmel haben; und komm, folge mir nach.
22 When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
Als aber der Jüngling das Wort hörte, ging er betrübt hinweg, denn er hatte viele Güter.
23 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
Jesus aber sprach zu seinen Jüngern: Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Schwerlich wird ein Reicher in das Reich der Himmel eingehen.
24 Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Wiederum aber sage ich euch: Es ist leichter, daß ein Kamel durch ein Nadelöhr eingehe, als daß ein Reicher in das Reich Gottes eingehe.
25 When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
Als aber die Jünger es hörten, waren sie sehr erstaunt und sagten: Wer kann dann errettet werden?
26 [When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
Jesus aber sah sie an und sprach zu ihnen: Bei Menschen ist dies unmöglich, bei Gott aber sind alle Dinge möglich.
27 Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
Da antwortete Petrus und sprach zu ihm: Siehe, wir haben alles verlassen und sind dir nachgefolgt; was wird uns nun werden?
28 Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Ihr, die ihr mir nachgefolgt seid, auch ihr werdet in der Wiedergeburt, wenn der Sohn des Menschen sitzen wird auf seinem Throne der Herrlichkeit, [O. dem Throne seiner Herrlichkeit] auf zwölf Thronen sitzen und richten die zwölf Stämme Israels.
29 [God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Und ein jeder, der irgend verlassen hat Häuser, oder Brüder, oder Schwestern, oder Vater, oder Mutter, oder Weib, oder Kinder, oder Äcker um meines Namens willen, wird hundertfältig empfangen und ewiges Leben erben. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
Aber viele Erste werden Letzte, und Letzte Erste sein.
