Lukas 4
1 Jesus aber voll heiligen Geistes kehrte zurück vom Jordan, und ward durch den Geist in der Wüste umgetrieben,
As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
2 vierzig Tage lang, versucht vom Teufel. Und er aß nichts in diesen Tagen, und wie sie zu Ende waren, hungerte ihn.
For 40 days the Spirit led him around in the desolate area. During that time Jesus was being tempted by the devil {the devil was tempting him}, and Jesus did not eat anything. When that time ended, he was [very] hungry.
3 Es sagte aber der Teufel zu ihm: wenn du Gottes Sohn bist, so sprich zu diesem Stein, daß er Brot werde!
Then the devil said to Jesus, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with] God as a son [has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] telling these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 Und Jesus antwortete ihm: es steht geschrieben: Nicht vom Brot allein soll der Mensch leben.
Jesus replied, “[No, I will not change stones into bread, because it is written] {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] that [eating] food sustains people physically, but it does not [sustain them spiritually. They also need food for their spirits].”
5 Und er führte ihn hinauf und zeigte ihm alle Reiche der Welt in einem Augenblick.
Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
6 Und der Teufel sagte zu ihm: ich will dir diese ganze Macht geben und die Herrlichkeit davon, denn es ist mir übergeben, und ich gebe es wem ich will.
Then he said to [Jesus], “I will give you the authority [to rule] all these areas and will make you famous. [I can do this] because [God] has permitted me [to control these areas], and I can allow anyone I desire to rule them!
7 Wenn du nun vor mir huldigst, so soll es alles dein sein.
So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
8 Und Jesus antwortete ihm: es steht geschrieben: du sollst dem Herrn deinem Gott huldigen und ihn allein anbeten.
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [worship you, because] it is written {[the Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘It is the Lord, your God, whom you must worship, and you must serve only him!’”
9 Er führte ihn aber nach Jerusalem und stellte ihn auf die Zinne des Tempels und sagte zu ihm: wenn du Gottes Sohn bist, so stürze dich von hier hinunter.
Then the devil took [Jesus] to Jerusalem. He set him on the highest part of the Temple and said to him, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with God as a son has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] jumping down from here.
10 Denn es steht geschrieben: er wird seinen Engeln Befehl geben deinetwegen, dich zu schützen,
[You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].
11 und sie werden dich auf Händen tragen, daß du deinen Fuß nicht an einen Stein stößest.
They will lift you up with their hands [when you are falling], so that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
12 Und Jesus antwortete ihm: es ist gesagt: du sollst den Herrn deinen Gott nicht versuchen.
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [do that, because] it is written {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Do not try to test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish]’.”
13 Und nachdem der Teufel mit aller Versuchung zu Ende war, ließ er von ihm ab, bis zur Zeit.
Then, after the devil had finished trying to tempt [Jesus] in many ways, he left him. He wanted to try to tempt him later at an appropriate time.
14 Und Jesus kehrte in der Kraft des Geistes zurück nach Galiläa und es gieng sein Ruf aus in die ganze Umgegend,
As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
15 und er lehrte in ihren Synagogen, gepriesen von allen.
He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
16 Und er kam nach Nazara, wo er auferzogen war, und trat nach seiner Gewohnheit am Sabbattage in die Synagoge ein, und stand auf zum Lesen.
Then [Jesus] went to Nazareth, [the town] where he grew up. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) he went (to the synagogue/to the Jewish meeting place), as he usually did. He stood up [to indicate that he wanted] to read [Scriptures] to them.
17 Und es ward ihm das Buch des Propheten Jesaias gegeben, und da er das Buch aufrollte, stieß er auf eine Stelle, wo geschrieben stand:
A scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written] was given to him {[Someone] gave to him a scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written]}. He opened the scroll and found the place from which he [wanted to] read. [He read these words]:
18 Des Herrn Geist ist über mir, darum weil er mich gesalbt hat, Armen die frohe Botschaft zu bringen, mich gesandt hat, zu verkünden Gefangenen Befreiung und Blinden Gesicht, zu entlassen Verwundete in Freiheit,
The Spirit (of the Lord/of God) is upon me. He has appointed [MTY] me to declare God’s good news to the poor. He has sent me [here] to proclaim that God will deliver those whom [Satan] has captured, and he will [enable me to] enable those who are blind to see. He will enable me to free people who have been oppressed {whom [others] have oppressed}.
19 zu verkünden des Herrn angenehmes Jahr.
And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
20 Und er rollte das Buch zusammen, gab es dem Diener, und setzte sich, und aller Augen in der Synagoge waren auf ihn gerichtet.
Then he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down [to teach the people]. Everyone in the synagogue was looking intently [MTY] at him.
21 Er fieng aber an zu ihnen zu reden: heute ist diese Schrift erfüllt vor euren Ohren.
He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
22 Und alle zeugten für ihn und wunderten sich über die lieblichen Worte, die aus seinem Munde giengen, und sie sagten: ist das nicht Joseph's Sohn?
[At first] everyone there spoke well about him, and they were amazed at the charming words that he spoke. [But then some of] them said, “(He is [only] Joseph’s son!/Isn’t he [only] Joseph’s son?) [RHQ] [So] ([it is useless for us(exc) to listen to what he says!/why should we(exc) listen to what he says]?) [RHQ]”
23 Und er sagte zu ihnen: ihr werdet freilich mir das Sprichwort entgegenhalten: Arzt, heile dich selber. Was wir gehört haben, daß in Kapernaum geschehen - thue auch hier so in deiner Vaterstadt.
He said to them, “Surely [some of] you will quote to me the proverb that says, ‘Doctor, heal yourself!’ [What you will mean is], ‘People told us that you did miracles in Capernaum [town, but we(exc) do not know if those reports are true. So] do miracles here in your own hometown, too!’”
24 Er sagte aber: Wahrlich, ich sage euch, kein Prophet ist willkommen in seiner Vaterstadt.
Then he said, “It is certainly true that [people] do not accept [the message of] a prophet when he speaks in his hometown, [just like you(pl) are not accepting my message now].
25 In Wahrheit aber sage ich euch: es waren viele Witwen in den Tagen des Elias in Israel, als der Himmel verschlossen ward drei Jahre und sechs Monate, da eine große Hungersnot über das ganze Land kam.
But think about this: There were many widows in Israel during the time when [the prophet] Elijah [lived. During that time], because of there being no rain [MTY] for three years and six months, there was a great famine throughout the country.
26 Und Elias wurde zu keiner von ihnen geschickt außer nach Sarepta im Lande Sidon zu einer Witwe.
But [God] did not send Elijah to [help] any of those [Jewish] widows. [God sent him] to Zarepath [town] near Sidon [city], to [help] a [non-Jewish] widow.
27 Und viele Aussätzige waren in Israel zur Zeit des Propheten Elisäus und keiner von ihnen wurde gereinigt, außer der Syrer Naeman.
There were also many [Jewish] lepers in Israel during the time when the prophet Elisha [lived]. But [Elisha] did not heal any of them. He healed only Naaman, a [non-Jewish] man from Syria.”
28 Und es wurden alle voll Unwillens in der Synagoge, als sie dieses hörten,
When all the people in the synagogue heard him say that, they were very angry, [because they realized that he was inferring that he similarly would help non-Jewish people instead of helping Jews] (OR, [that they also were not worthy of receiving God’s help]).
29 und standen auf und warfen ihn zur Stadt hinaus, und brachten ihn an den Rand des Berges, auf dem ihre Stadt gebaut ist, um ihn hinabzustürzen.
So they all got up and shoved him out of the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside their town in order to throw him off the cliff [and kill him].
30 Er aber gieng mitten durch sie hin und zog davon.
But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
31 Und er kam hinab in die Galiläische Stadt Kapernaum, und lehrte daselbst am Sabbat;
[One day] Jesus went [with his disciples] down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee [district]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) (OR, Each (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest)), he taught the people ([in the synagogue/in the Jewish meeting place]).
32 und sie waren betroffen über seiner Lehre, denn sein Wort war ein Wort mit Vollmacht.
They were continually amazed at what he was teaching, because [he spoke] ([with authority/as people speak who have] the right to command others what to do).
33 Und in der Synagoge war ein Mensch, der den Geist eines unreinen Dämons hatte, der schrie laut auf:
[That day], (OR, On one of those Jewish days of rest, ) there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. That man shouted very loudly,
34 Laß doch, was haben wir mit dir, Jesus von Nazaret? du bist gekommen uns zu verderben, ich weiß, wer du bist: der Heilige Gottes.
“Hey! Jesus, from Nazareth! [We(exc) evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, so ([do not interfere with us now!/why should you interfere with us now]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now!]/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. You are the Holy One [who has come] from God!”
35 Und Jesus bedrohte ihn und sprach: verstumme und fahre aus von ihm. Und der Dämon warf ihn nieder mitten unter sie, und fuhr aus von ihm ohne ihm Schaden gethan zu haben.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!” The demon threw the man down on the ground in the midst of the people. But without harming the man, the demon left him.
36 Und Staunen kam über sie alle, und sie sprachen untereinander und sagten: was ist das für ein Wort, daß er mit Vollmacht und Kraft den unreinen Geistern gebietet und sie fahren aus?
The people were all amazed. They said to each other, “(What he says to the demons [has great power!/] [kind of] teaching is this?) [RHQ] He speaks to them like he knows that they must obey him, and as a result they leave people!”
37 Und die Kunde von ihm gieng aus in alle Orte der Gegend.
The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
38 Er brach aber von der Synagoge auf, und gieng in das Haus Simons. Die Schwiegermutter Simons aber war von starkem Fieber befallen, und sie wandten sich an ihn ihretwegen.
Jesus [and his disciples] left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) and entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick and had a high fever. So [others in Simon’s family] (OR, [the disciples]) asked Jesus to [heal] her.
39 Und er trat hin, neigte sich über sie und bedrohte das Fieber, und es verließ sie; alsbald aber erhob sie sich und wartete ihnen auf.
So he bent over her and commanded the fever to leave her. At once she became well! She got up and served them [some food].
40 Als aber die Sonne untergieng, brachten alle, die Kranke hatten mit allerlei Uebeln, dieselben zu ihm, er aber legte jedem von ihnen einzeln die Hände auf und heilte sie.
When the sun was setting [that day, and the restriction about not traveling] (on [the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [was ended], many people [HYP] whose [friends or relatives] were sick or who had various diseases brought them to Jesus. He put his hands on them and healed [all of] them.
41 Es giengen aber auch Dämonen aus von vielen, die riefen und sagten: du bist der Sohn Gottes. Und er bedrohte sie und ließ sie nicht sagen, daß sie wissen, er sei der Christus.
He also was [expelling demons] from many people. As the demons left those people, they shouted to Jesus, “You are (the Son of God/the one who is God and man)!” But he rebuked those demons and would not allow them to tell [people about him], because they knew that he was the Messiah, and [for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
42 Da es aber Tag geworden, gieng er aus und zog an einen einsamen Ort, und die Massen suchten ihn und sie kamen zu ihm und hielten ihn fest, daß er nicht von ihnen ziehen sollte.
[Early] the next morning [Jesus] left that house and went to an uninhabited place [to pray]. Many people searched for him, and when they found him they kept urging him not to leave them.
43 Er aber sagte zu ihnen: ich muß auch den andern Städten die frohe Botschaft bringen vom Reich Gottes, denn dazu bin ich ausgesandt.
But he said to them, “I must tell [people] in other towns also the good message about how God wants to rule [MET] their lives, because that is what I was sent {[God] sent me} to do.”
44 Und er predigte in den Synagogen von Galiläa.
So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
