Acts 13
1 Among [the people in] the congregation at Antioch there were (prophets/those who spoke messages from God) and those who taught [people about Jesus. They were] Barnabas; Simeon, who was also called Niger/Blackman; Lucius, from Cyrene [city]; Manaen, who had grown up with [King] Herod [Antipas]; and Saul.
Es waren aber zu Antiochien in der Gemeinde Propheten und Lehrer, nämlich Barnabas und Simon, genannt Niger, und Lucius von Kyrene und Manahen, mit Herodes dem Vierfürsten erzogen, und Saulus.
2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said [to them], “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to [serve] me and to [go and do] the work that I have chosen them [to do]!”
Da sie aber dem HERRN dieneten und fasteten, sprach der Heilige Geist: Sondert mir aus Barnabas und Saulus zu dem Werk, dazu ich sie berufen habe.
3 So they continued (to fast/to abstain from eating food) and pray. Then having put their hands on Barnabas and Saul and [praying that God would help them], they sent them off [to do what the Holy Spirit had commanded].
Da fasteten sie und beteten und legten die Hände auf sie und ließen sie gehen.
4 Barnabas and Saul, guided by the Holy Spirit, went down [from Antioch] to Seleucia [port]. From there they went by ship to Salamis [port on Cyprus Island].
Und wie sie ausgesandt waren vom Heiligen Geist, kamen sie gen Seleucia, und von dannen schifften sie gen Zypern.
5 While they were in Salamis, [they went] to the Jewish meeting places. There they proclaimed the message from God [about Jesus]. John [Mark went with them and] was helping them.
Und da sie in die Stadt Salamis kamen, verkündigten sie das Wort Gottes in der Juden Schulen; sie hatten aber auch Johannes zum Diener.
6 [The three of] them went across the entire island to Paphos [city]. There they met a magician whose name was Bar-Jesus. He was a Jew who falsely [claimed] (to be a prophet/to speak messages from God).
Und da sie die Insel durchzogen bis zu der Stadt Paphos, fanden sie einen Zauberer und falschen Propheten, einen Juden, der hieß Bar - Jehu.
7 He often accompanied the governor [of the island], Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. The governor sent [someone] to ask Barnabas and Saul to come to him, because he wanted to hear God’s message. [So Barnabas and Saul came and told him about Jesus].
Der war bei Sergius Paulus dem Landvogt, einem verständigen Mann. Derselbige rief zu sich Barnabas und Saulus und begehrete, das Wort Gottes zu hören.
8 However, the magician, whose name was Elymas [in the Greek language], was opposing them. He repeatedly tried to persuade the governor not to believe [in Jesus].
Da stund ihnen wider der Zauberer Elymas (denn also wird sein Name gedeutet) und trachtete, daß er den Landvogt vom Glauben wendete.
9 Then Saul, who now called himself Paul, empowered by the Holy Spirit, looked intently at the magician and said,
Saulus aber, der auch Paulus heißt, voll Heiligen Geistes, sah ihn an
10 “You [(sg)] are serving the devil and you oppose everything that is good! You are always lying [to people] and doing [other] evil things to them. (You must stop saying that the truth about the Lord [God is a lot of lies!]/When will you stop changing what is true about the Lord [God and saying] what is not true about him?) [RHQ]
und sprach: O du Kind des Teufels, voll aller List und aller Schalkheit und Feind aller Gerechtigkeit! Du hörest nicht auf, abzuwenden die rechten Wege des HERRN.
11 Right now the Lord [God] [MTY] is going to punish you! You will become blind and not [even] be able to see light for [some] time.” At once he became [blind, as though he was] in a dark mist, and he groped about, searching for someone [to hold him by the] hand and lead him.
Und nun siehe, die Hand des HERRN kommt über dich, und sollst blind sein und die Sonne eine Zeitlang nicht sehen. Und von Stund' an fiel auf ihn Dunkelheit und Finsternis; und ging umher und suchte Handleiter.
12 When the governor saw what had happened [to Elymas], he believed [in the Lord Jesus]. He was amazed by [what Paul and Barnabas] were teaching about the Lord [Jesus].
Als der Landvogt die Geschichte sah, glaubte er und verwunderte sich der Lehre des HERRN
13 [After that], Paul and the two men with him went by ship from Paphos to Perga [port] in Pamphylia [province. At Perga] John [Mark] left them and returned to [his home in] Jerusalem.
Da aber Paulus, und die um ihn waren, von Paphos schifften, kamen sie gen Perge im Lande Pamphylien. Johannes aber wich von ihnen und zog wieder gen Jerusalem.
14 Then Paul and Barnabas traveled [by land] from Perga, and arrived in Antioch [city] near Pisidia [district in Galatia province]. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) they entered the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place and sat down.
Sie aber zogen durch von Perge und kamen gen Antiochien im Lande Pisidien und gingen in die Schule am Sabbattage und setzten sich.
15 [Someone] read [aloud] from what [Moses had written. Then someone read from what the other] prophets [had written] [MTY]. Then the leaders of the Jewish meeting place gave [someone this] note [to take] to Paul and Barnabas: “Fellow Jews, if [one of] you wants to speak to the people [here] to encourage them, please speak [to us(exc) now].”
Nach der Lektion aber des Gesetzes und der Propheten sandten die Obersten der Schule zu ihnen und ließen ihnen sagen: Liebe Brüder, wollt ihr etwas reden und das Volk ermahnen, so saget
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his right hand [so that the people would listen to him]. Then he said, “Fellow Israelis and you [non-Jewish people] who [also] worship God, [please] listen [to me]!
Da stund Paulus auf und winkete mit der Hand und sprach: Ihr Männer von Israel, und die ihr Gott fürchtet, höret zu!
17 God, whom we [(inc)] Israelis worship, chose our ancestors [to be his people], and he caused them to become very numerous while they were foreigners living in Egypt. [Then after many years], God helped them [MTY] powerfully and led them out of there.
Der Gott dieses Volks hat erwählet unsere Väter und erhöhet das Volk, da sie Fremdlinge waren im Lande Ägypten, und mit einem hohen Arm führete er sie aus demselbigen.
18 [Even though they repeatedly disobeyed him, he] cared for them for about 40 years [while they were] in the desert.
Und vierzig Jahre lang duldete er ihre Weise in der Wüste.
19 He [enabled the Israelis] to conquer seven tribal groups [who were then living] in Canaan [region], and he gave their land to us Israelis for us to possess.
Und vertilgete sieben Völker in dem Lande Kanaan und teilete unter sie nach dem Los jener Lande.
20 [Our ancestors began to possess Canaan] about 450 years after [their ancestors had arrived in Egypt].” Acts 13:20b-22 “After that, God appointed leaders [to rule the Israeli people. Those leaders continued to rule our people] until the time when the prophet Samuel [ruled them].
Danach gab er ihnen Richter vierhundertundfünfzig Jahre lang, bis auf den Propheten Samuel.
21 Then, [while Samuel was still their leader], the people demanded that he [appoint] a king [to rule them. So] God appointed Saul, the son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, [to be their king]. He [ruled them] for 40 years.
Und von da an baten sie um einen König. Und Gott gab ihnen Saul, den Sohn des Kis, einen Mann aus dem Geschlechte Benjamin, vierzig Jahre lang.
22 After God had rejected Saul [from being king], he appointed David to be their king. God said about him, ‘I have observed that David, son of Jesse, is exactly the kind of man that I desire [IDM]. He will do [everything that] I want [him to do].’”
Und da er denselbigen wegtat, richtete er auf über sie David zum Könige, von welchem er zeugete: Ich habe funden David, den Sohn Jesses, einen Mann nach meinem Herzen, der soll tun allen meinen Willen.
23 “From [among] David’s descendants, God brought one of them, Jesus, to [us] Israeli people to save us, just like he had told [David and our other ancestors] that he would do.
Aus dieses Samen hat Gott, wie er verheißen hat, gezeugt Jesum dem Volk Israel zum Heiland,
24 Before Jesus began his work, John [the Baptizer] preached to all of our Israeli people [who came to him. He told them] that they should turn away from their sinful behavior [and ask God to forgive them. Then he] would baptize them.
als denn Johannes zuvor dem Volk Israel predigte die Taufe der Buße, ehe denn er anfing.
25 When John was about to finish the work [that God gave him to do], he frequently said [to the people], ‘Do you think [RHQ] that I am [the Messiah whom God promised to send]? No, I am not. But listen! The Messiah will [soon] come. [He is so much greater than I am that] I am not [even] important enough to be his slave [MET].’”
Als aber Johannes seinen Lauf erfüllete, sprach er: Ich bin nicht der, dafür ihr mich haltet; aber siehe, er kommt nach mir, des ich nicht wert bin, daß ich ihm die Schuhe seiner Füße auflöse.
26 “Fellow Israelis, you who are descendants of Abraham, and [you non-Jewish people who] also worship God, [please listen! It is] to [all of] us that [God] has sent the message about [how he] saves people.
Ihr Männer, liebe Brüder, ihr Kinder des Geschlechtes Abraham, und die unter euch Gott fürchten, euch ist das Wort dieses Heils gesandt.
27 The people who were living in Jerusalem and their rulers did not realize that this man [Jesus was the one whom God had sent to save them]. Although messages from [MTY] the prophets have been read [aloud] {someone has read [aloud] messages from [MTY] the prophets} every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), they did not understand [what the prophets wrote about the Messiah. So] the [Jewish leaders] condemned Jesus [to die], which was just like the prophets predicted.
Denn die zu Jerusalem wohnen, und ihre Obersten, dieweil sie diesen nicht kenneten noch die Stimme der Propheten (welche auf alle Sabbate gelesen werden), haben sie dieselben mit ihrem Urteilen erfüllet.
28 [Many people accused Jesus of doing wicked things], but they could not prove that he had done anything for which he deserved to die. They insistently asked Pilate [the governor] to command that Jesus be executed {to command soldiers to execute Jesus}. [So Pilate did what they asked him to do].
Und wiewohl sie keine Ursache des Todes an ihm fanden, baten sie doch Pilatus ihn zu töten.
29 They did [to Jesus] all the things that [the prophets long ago had] written [that people would do to] him. [They killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross. Then] his body was taken {[some people took] his body} down from the cross and placed it in a tomb.
Und als sie alles vollendet hatten, was von ihm geschrieben ist, nahmen sie ihn von dem Holz und legten ihn in ein Grab.
30 However, God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again after he had died)
Aber Gott hat ihn auferweckt von den Toten.
31 and for many days he [repeatedly] appeared to [his followers] who had come along with him from Galilee [province] to Jerusalem. Those [who saw him] are telling the [Jewish] people about him now.”
Und er ist erschienen viele Tage denen, die mit ihm hinauf von Galiläa gen Jerusalem gegangen waren, welche sind seine Zeugen an das Volk.
32 “[Right] now we [two] are proclaiming to you this good message. We want to tell you that God has fulfilled what he promised to [our Jewish] ancestors!
Und wir auch verkündigen euch die Verheißung, die zu unsern Vätern geschehen ist,
33 He has now done that for us [(inc) who are] their descendants, [and also for you who are not Jews], by causing Jesus to live again. That is just like what [David] wrote in the second Psalm that [God said when he was sending his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son; Today I have shown everyone [that I really am] your Father.
daß dieselbige Gott uns, ihren Kindern, erfüllet hat in dem, daß er Jesum auferwecket hat, wie denn im andern Psalm geschrieben stehet: Du bist mein Sohn; heute habe ich dich gezeuget.
34 [God] has (raised [the Messiah] from the dead/caused [the Messiah] to live again after he had died) and will never let him die again. [Concerning that, God] said [to our Jewish ancestors], ‘I will surely help you, as I [promised] David [that I would do].’
Daß er ihn aber hat von den Toten auferweckt, daß er fort nicht mehr soll verwesen, spricht er also: Ich will euch die Gnade, David verheißen, treulich halten.
35 So [in writing] another [Psalm, David] said this [to God about the Messiah]: ‘Because I am devoted to you and always obey [you, when I die] you [(sg)] will not let my body decay.’
Darum spricht er auch am andern Ort: Du wirst es nicht zugeben, daß dein Heiliger die Verwesung sehe.
36 While David was living, he did what God wanted him to do. And when he died [EUP], his [body] was buried, [as] his ancestors’ [bodies had been buried], and his body decayed. [So he could not have been speaking about himself in this Psalm].
Denn David, da er zu seiner Zeit gedienet hatte dem Willen Gottes, ist er entschlafen und zu seinen Vätern getan und hat die Verwesung gesehen.
37 [Instead, he was speaking about Jesus. Jesus also died], but God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again), and [therefore] his body did not decay.”
Den aber Gott auferweckt hat, der hat die Verwesung nicht gesehen.
38 “Therefore, [my] fellow Israelis [and other friends], it is important for you to know that [we(exc)] are declaring to you [that God] can forgive you for your sins as a result of [what] Jesus [has done]. Because of [what] Jesus [has done], [God] considers that everyone who believes [in Jesus] is no longer guilty (OR, the record has been erased {[God] has erased the record}) concerning everything that they [have done that displeased God. But] when [God] does [that for you], it is not as a result of [your obeying] the laws [that] Moses [wrote].
So sei es nun euch kund, liebe Brüder, daß euch verkündiget wird Vergebung der Sünden durch diesen und von dem allem, durch welches ihr nicht konntet im Gesetz Mose's gerecht werden.
Wer aber an diesen glaubet, der ist gerecht.
40 Therefore be careful that [God] does not judge you [MTY], as one of the prophets said [MTY] that God would do!
Sehet nun zu, daß nicht über euch komme, was in den Propheten gesagt ist:
41 [The prophet wrote that God said], You who ridicule [me], you will [certainly] be astonished [when you see what I am doing], and [then] you will be destroyed. You will be astonished because I will do something [terrible to you] while you are living. You would not believe [that I would do that] even though someone told you!”
Sehet, ihr Verächter, und verwundert euch und werdet zunichte; denn ich tue ein Werk zu euren Zeiten, welches ihr nicht glauben werdet, so es euch jemand erzählen wird.
42 After Paul [finished speaking], while he and Barnabas were leaving the Jewish meeting place, [many of] the people there repeatedly requested that on the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [the two of them] should speak to them [again] about those things [that Paul had just told them].
Da aber die Juden aus der Schule gingen, baten die Heiden, daß sie zwischen Sabbats ihnen die Worte sagten.
43 After they began to leave [that meeting], many [of them] went along with Paul and Barnabas. They consisted of Jews and also of non-Jews who had accepted the things that the Jews believe. Paul and Barnabas continued talking to them, and were urging them to continue [believing the message that] God kindly [forgives people’s sins because of what Jesus did].
Und als die Gemeinde der Schule voneinander ging, folgeten Paulus und Barnabas nach viel Juden und gottesfürchtige Judengenossen. Sie aber sägten ihnen und vermahneten sie, daß sie bleiben sollten in der Gnade Gottes.
44 On the next Jewish rest day, most of the [people in Antioch came to] the Jewish meeting place to hear [Paul and Barnabas] speak about the Lord [Jesus].
Am folgenden Sabbat aber kam zusammen fast die ganze Stadt, das Wort Gottes zu hören.
45 But [the leaders of] [SYN] the Jews became extremely jealous, because they saw that large crowds of [non-Jewish people were coming to hear Paul and Barnabas. So] they began to contradict the things that Paul was saying [and also] to insult [him].
Da aber die Juden das Volk sahen wurden sie voll Neides und widersprachen dem, was von Paulus gesagt ward, widersprachen und lästerten.
46 Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
Paulus aber und Barnabas sprachen frei öffentlich: Euch mußte zuerst das Wort Gottes gesagt werden; nun ihr es aber von euch stoßet und achtet euch selbst nicht wert des ewigen Lebens, siehe, so wenden wir uns zu den Heiden. (aiōnios g166)
47 [We are doing that also] because the Lord [God] has commanded us [to do it]. He said to us, ‘I have appointed you [to reveal things about me] to non-Jewish people [MET] that will be [like] a light to them. [I have appointed] you to tell people everywhere [MTY] in the world [about the one who came] to save [them].’”
Denn also hat uns der HERR geboten: Ich habe dich den Heiden zum Licht gesetzt, daß du das Heil seiest bis an das Ende der Erde.
48 While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios g166)
Da es aber die Heiden höreten, wurden sie froh und preiseten das Wort des HERRN, und wurden gläubig, wieviel ihrer zum ewigen Leben verordnet waren. (aiōnios g166)
49 [At that time, many of the believers] traveled around throughout that region. As they did that, they were proclaiming the message about the Lord [Jesus] [MTY].
Und das Wort des HERRN ward ausgebreitet durch die ganze Gegend.
50 However, [some leaders of] [SYN] the Jews incited the most important men in the city, and [some] important/influential women who had accepted what the Jews believe, to oppose [Paul and Barnabas. So those non-Jewish people] incited [other people also] to persecute Paul and Barnabas. As a result they expelled the two men from their region.
Aber die Juden bewegten die andächtigen und ehrbaren Weiber und der Stadt Obersten und erweckten eine Verfolgung über Paulus und Barnabas und stießen sie zu ihren Grenzen hinaus.
51 So, [as the two apostles were leaving, they] shook the dust from their feet [to show those Jewish leaders that God had rejected them and would punish them. They left Antioch] and went to Iconium [city].
Sie aber schüttelten den Staub von ihren Füßen über sie und kamen gen Ikonien.
52 Meanwhile, the believers [in Antioch] continued to rejoice greatly, and they continued to be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit.
Die Jünger aber wurden voll Freuden und Heiligen Geistes.
