Acts 1
1 [Dear] Theophilus, In my first book [that I wrote for you], I wrote about many of the things that Jesus did and taught
In meiner ersten Schrift habe ich, mein Thophilus, von alle dem berichtet, was Jesus von Anfang an tat und lehrte,
2 until the day on which he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven]. Before [he went to heaven], saying what the Holy Spirit [told him], he told the apostles whom he had chosen [the things that he wanted them to know].
Bis zu dem Tag, da Er emporgenommen ward, nachdem Er durch den Heiligen Geist den Aposteln, die Er erwählt hatte, Befehle gegeben.
3 After he had suffered [and died on the cross], [he became alive again]. As he appeared to them [often] during [the next] 40 days, the apostles saw him many times. He proved to them in many ways that he was alive again. He talked [with them] about [how] God would rule [MET] [the lives of people who accepted him as their king].
Welchen Er Sich auch nach Seinem Leiden lebend darstellte in vielen Bezeugungen, indem Er ihnen vierzig Tage lang erschien und über das Reich Gottes mit ihnen redete.
4 [One time] while he was with them, he told them, “Do not leave Jerusalem [yet]. Instead, wait [here] until my Father sends [his Spirit] [MTY] [to you], as he promised [to do]. You have heard me speak [to you] about that.
Und als Er sie um Sich versammelt hatte, befahl Er ihnen, nicht von Jerusalem zu weichen, sondern auf die Verheißung des Vaters zu warten, die ihr von Mir gehört habt.
5 John baptized people in water [because they said that they wanted to change their lives], but after a few days [LIT] [God] will put the Holy Spirit within you(pl) [to truly change your lives].”
Denn Johannes taufte mit Wasser; ihr aber sollt nicht lange nach diesen Tagen mit dem Heiligen Geist getauft werden.
6 One day when the [apostles] met together [with Jesus], they asked him, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now become the King [MET] over [us] Israelite people [like King David, who ruled long ago]?” (OR, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now [defeat the Romans and] restore the kingdom [to us] Israelite people?”)
Die also zusammengekommen waren, fragten Ihn und sagten: Herr, wirst Du auf diese Zeit das Reich wieder für Israel aufrichten?
7 He replied to them, “You do not [need] to know the time [periods] and days [when that will happen]. My Father alone has decided [when he will make me king].
Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Euch steht es nicht zu, Zeit oder Stunde zu wissen, die der Vater für Seine Macht bestimmt hat.
8 But [you do need to know that] the Holy Spirit will make you [spiritually] strong when he comes to live in you. Then you will [powerfully] tell people about me in Jerusalem and in all [the other places in] Judea [district], in Samaria [district], and in places far away all over [IDM] the world.”
Ihr werdet aber die Kraft des über euch kommenden Heiligen Geistes empfangen und Mir Zeugen sein in Jerusalem und in ganz Judäa und Samarien und bis an das Ende der Erde.
9 After he said that, he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven], while they were watching. [He went up into] a cloud [PRS], which prevented them from seeing him [any more].
Und da Er solches gesprochen, ward Er zusehends aufgehoben, und eine Wolke nahm Ihn vor ihren Augen weg.
10 While [the apostles] were [still] staring towards the sky as he was going up, suddenly two men who were wearing white clothes stood beside them. [They were angels].
Und wie sie, während Er auffuhr gen Himmel, Ihm nachsahen, siehe, da standen zwei Männer in weißen Kleidern vor ihnen.
11 One [of] them said, “You men from Galilee [district], (you do not need to stand [here any longer] looking up at the sky!/why do you still stand [here] looking up at the sky?) [RHQ] [Some day] this same Jesus, whom [God] took from you up to heaven, will come back [to earth]. He will return in the same manner as you [just now] saw him when he went up to heaven, [but he will not return now].”
Die sprachen: Männer von Galiläa, was steht ihr hier und schaut gen Himmel? Dieser Jesus, Der von euch ist aufgenommen gen Himmel empor, wird wiederkommen, wie ihr Ihn gen Himmel fahren sahet.
12 Then [after the two angels left], the apostles returned to Jerusalem from Olive [Tree] Hill, which was about (a half mile/one kilometer) [MTY] from Jerusalem.
Sie kehrten sodann von dem Berge, dem sogenannten Eläon, der nahe bei Jerusalem liegt und nur einen Sabbathweg entfernt ist, nach Jerusalem zurück.
13 When they entered [the city], they went upstairs to the room [in the house] where they were staying. [Those who were there included] Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, [another] James [the son] of Alphaeus, Simon who belonged to the group that wanted to expel the Romans, and Judas [the son] of [another man named] James.
Und als sie hineinkamen, stiegen sie auf den Söller, wo sie wohnten, Petrus und Jakobus und Johannes und Andreas, Philippus und Thomas, Bartholomäus und Matthäus, Jakobus des Alphäus und Simon, der Eiferer, und Judas des Jakobus.
14 All these apostles agreed concerning the things about which they continually were praying [together. Others who prayed with them] included the women [who had accompanied Jesus], Mary who was Jesus’ mother, and his [younger] brothers.
Diese alle hielten einmütig an im Gebet und Flehen mit den Weibern und Maria, der Mutter Jesus, und mit Seinen Brüdern.
15 During those days Peter stood up among his fellow believers. There were [at that place] a group of about 120 of [Jesus’ followers]. Peter said,
In dieses Tagen trat Petrus inmitten der Jünger auf und sprach: es waren etwa hundertzwanzig beisammen,
16 “My fellow believers, [there are words that King] David wrote [MTY] in the Scriptures long ago that needed to be fulfilled {to happen [as he said they would]}. The Holy Spirit, [who knew that Judas would be the one who would fulfill those words], told David what to write.
Männer, Brüder, es mußte das Wort der Schrift erfüllt werden, das der Heilige Geist durch den Mund Davids über Judas geweissagt hat, der ein Wegweiser ward denen, die Jesus gefangennahmen.
17 [Although] Judas had been chosen {[Jesus] had chosen Judas}, along with [the rest of] us [(exc)] to serve [as an apostle], Judas was the person who led to Jesus the people who seized him.”
Er war uns beigezählt und hatte das Los dieses Dienstes.
18 [The Jewish leaders] gave Judas money when he [promised to] treacherously/wickedly [betray Jesus. Later Judas returned that money to them]. When Judas [hanged himself], his body fell down [to the ground]. His abdomen burst open, and all his intestines spilled out. [So] the [Jewish leaders] bought a field [using] that money.
Dieser nun hat erworben den Acker für den Lohn der Ungerechtigkeit, hat sich erhängt und ist mitten entzwei geborsten und ward all sein Eingeweide ausgeschüttet.
19 All the people who reside in Jerusalem heard [about that], so they called that field in their own [Aramaic] language, Akeldama, which means ‘Field of Blood’, [because it was where someone bled and died].
Und es ward kund allen, die zu Jerusalem wohnen, so daß der Acker in ihrer Mundart Hakeldama, das ist Blutacker, genannt worden ist.
20 [Peter also said], “[I perceive that what happened to Judas is like what the writer of] Psalms [desired to happen]: ‘May his house become deserted, and may there be no one to live in it.’ (OR, ‘[Judge him, Lord, so that neither he nor] anyone [else] may live in his house!)’ And it seems that [these other words that David wrote also refer to Judas: ] ‘Let someone else take over his work as a leader.’”
Denn es steht geschrieben im Psalmbuch: Ihre Behausung soll wüste werden, und niemand sein, der darin wohne, und sein Amt ein anderer empfangen.
21 “So it is necessary [for us apostles] to choose a man [to replace Judas. He must be one who] accompanied [MTY] us all the time when the Lord Jesus was with us.
So muß denn einer der Männer, welche die ganze Zeit über, die der Herr Jesus unter uns ist aus- und eingegangen, mit uns gewesen sind,
22 [That would be] from [the time when] John [the Baptizer] baptized [Jesus] until the day when Jesus was taken {when [God] took Jesus} from us up [to heaven]. He must be one who saw Jesus alive again [after he died].”
Anfangend von der Taufe des Johannes bis auf den Tag, da Er vor uns aufgenommen ward, ein Zeuge Seiner Auferstehung mit uns werden.
23 So the [apostles and other believers] suggested [the names of two men who qualified. One man was] Joseph, who was called {whom people called} Barsabbas (OR, Joseph Barsabbas) who [also] had the [Roman] name Justus. The other man was Matthias.
Und sie stellten zwei, Joseph, genannt Barsabas, mit dem Zunamen Justus, und Matthias dar;
24 Then they prayed like this: “Lord [Jesus], Judas stopped being an apostle. [He died and] went to the place where he [deserved to be] [EUP]. [So we(exc) need to choose someone] to replace [Judas in order] that he can serve [you(sg) by becoming] an apostle. You [(sg)] know what everyone is really like. So [please] show us which of these two men you have chosen.”
Beteten und sprachen: Herr, aller Herzenskündiger, zeige an, welchen Du von diesen zweien auserwählt hast,
Daß er empfange das Los dieses Dienstes und Apostelamtes, davon Judas abgewichen ist, daß er hinginge an seinen Ort.
26 Then they cast lots [to choose between the two of] them, and the lot fell for Matthias. (OR, Then [one of] the [apostles] shook [in a container] small objects/stones [that] they [had marked to determine which man God had chosen]. And the small object/stone [that they had marked] for Matthias fell [out of the container]). So Matthias was considered {they considered Matthias} [to be an apostle] along with the [other] eleven apostles.
Und sie warfen das Los über sie, und das Los fiel auf Matthias, und er ward den elf Aposteln zugezählt.
