Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Und als der Tag der Pfingsten erfüllet war, waren sie alle einmütig beieinander.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
Und es geschah schnell ein Brausen vom Himmel als eines gewaltigen Windes und erfüllete das ganze Haus, da sie saßen.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
Und man sah an ihnen die Zungen zerteilet, als wären sie feurig. Und er setzte sich auf einen jeglichen unter ihnen.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Und wurden alle voll des Heiligen Geistes und fingen an, zu predigen mit andern Zungen, nachdem der Geist ihnen gab auszusprechen.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
Es waren aber Juden zu Jerusalem wohnend, die waren gottesfürchtige Männer aus allerlei Volk, das unter dem Himmel ist.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
Da nun diese Stimme geschah, kam die Menge zusammen und wurden bestürzt; denn es hörete ein jeglicher, daß sie mit seiner Sprache redeten.
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
Sie entsetzten sich aber alle, verwunderten sich und sprachen untereinander: Siehe, sind nicht diese alle, die da reden, aus Galiläa?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
Wie hören wir denn ein jeglicher seine Sprache, darinnen wir geboren sind?
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
Parther und Meder und Elamiter, und die wir wohnen in Mesopotamien und in Judäa und Kappadozien, Pontus und Asien.
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
Phrygien und Pamphylien, Ägypten und an den Enden der Libyen bei Kyrene, und Ausländer von Rom,
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
Juden und Judengenossen, Kreter und Araber: wir hören sie mit unsern Zungen die großen Taten Gottes reden.
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Sie entsetzten sich alle und wurden irre und sprachen einer zu dem andern: Was will das werden?
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
Die andern aber hatten's ihren Spott und sprachen: Sie sind voll süßen Weins.
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Da trat Petrus auf mit den Elfen, hub auf seine Stimme und redete zu ihnen: Ihr Juden, liebe Männer, und alle, die ihr zu Jerusalem wohnet, das sei euch kundgetan, und lasset meine Worte zu euren Ohren eingehen!
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
Denn diese sind nicht trunken, wie ihr wähnet, sintemal es ist die dritte Stunde am Tage.
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Sondern das ist's, das durch den Propheten Joel zuvor gesagt ist:
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
Und es soll geschehen in den letzten Tagen, spricht Gott, ich will ausgießen von meinem Geist auf alles Fleisch; und eure Söhne und eure Töchter sollen weissagen, und eure Jünglinge sollen Gesichte sehen, und eure Ältesten sollen Träume haben.
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
Und auf meine Knechte und auf meine Mägde will ich in denselbigen Tagen von meinem Geist ausgießen, und sie sollen weissagen.
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
Und ich will Wunder tun oben im Himmel und Zeichen unten auf Erden: Blut und Feuer und Rauchdampf.
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
Die Sonne soll sich verkehren in Finsternis und der Mond in Blut, ehe denn der große und offenbarliche Tag des HERRN kommt.
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
Und soll geschehen, wer den Namen des HERRN anrufen wird, soll selig werden.
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
Ihr Männer von Israel, höret diese Worte: Jesum von Nazareth, den Mann von Gott, unter euch mit Taten und Wundern und Zeichen beweiset, welche Gott durch ihn tat unter euch (wie denn auch ihr selbst wisset),
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
denselbigen ( nachdem er aus bedachtem Rat und Vorsehung Gottes ergeben war) habt ihr genommen durch die Hände der Ungerechten und ihn angeheftet und erwürget.
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
Den hat Gott auferwecket und aufgelöset die Schmerzen des Todes, nachdem es unmöglich war, daß er sollte von ihm gehalten werden.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
Denn David spricht von, ihm: Ich habe den HERRN allezeit vorgesetzet vor mein Angesicht; denn er ist an meiner Rechten, auf daß ich nicht beweget werde.
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
Darum ist mein Herz fröhlich, und meine Zunge freuet sich; denn auch mein Fleisch wird ruhen in der Hoffnung.
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
Denn du wirst meine Seele nicht in der Hölle lassen, auch nicht zugeben, daß dein Heiliger die Verwesung sehe. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
Du hast mir kundgetan die Wege des Lebens; du wirst mich erfüllen mit Freuden vor deinem Angesichte.
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
Ihr Männer, liebe Brüder, lasset mich frei reden zu euch von dem Erzvater David: Er ist gestorben und begraben, und sein Grab ist bei uns bis auf diesen Tag.
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
Als er nun ein Prophet war und wußte, daß ihm Gott verheißen hatte mit einem Eide; daß die Frucht seiner Lenden sollte auf seinem Stuhl sitzen,
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
hat er's zuvor gesehen und geredet von der Auferstehung Christi, daß seine Seele nicht in der Hölle gelassen ist, und sein Fleisch die Verwesung nicht gesehen hat. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
Diesen Jesum hat Gott auferwecket; des sind wir alle Zeugen.
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
Nun er durch die Rechte Gottes erhöhet ist und empfangen hat die Verheißung des Heiligen Geistes vom Vater, hat er ausgegossen dies, was ihr sehet und höret.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
Denn David ist nicht gen Himmel gefahren. Er spricht aber: Der HERR hat gesagt zu meinem HERRN: Setze dich zu meiner Rechten,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
bis daß ich deine Feinde lege zum Schemel deiner Füße.
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
So wisse nun das ganze Haus Israel gewiß, daß Gott diesen Jesum, den ihr gekreuzigt habt, zu einem HERRN und Christus gemacht hat.
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
Da sie aber das höreten, ging's ihnen durchs Herz, und sprachen zu Petrus und zu den andern Aposteln: Ihr Männer, liebe Brüder, was sollen wir tun?
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
Petrus sprach zu ihnen: Tut Buße, und lasse sich ein jeglicher taufen auf den Namen Jesu Christi zur Vergebung der Sünden, so werdet ihr empfangen die Gabe des Heiligen Geistes.
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
Denn euer und eurer Kinder ist diese Verheißung und aller, die ferne sind, welche Gott, unser HERR, herzurufen wird.
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
Auch mit viel andern Worten bezeugete er und ermahnete und sprach: Lasset euch helfen von diesen unartigen Leuten!
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Die nun sein Wort gerne annahmen, ließen sich taufen, und wurden hinzugetan an dem Tage bei dreitausend Seelen.
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
Sie blieben aber beständig in der Apostel Lehre und in der Gemeinschaft und im Brotbrechen und im Gebet.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Es kam auch alle Seelen Furcht an, und geschahen viel Wunder und Zeichen durch die Apostel.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
Alle aber, die gläubig waren worden, waren beieinander und hielten alle Dinge gemein.
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
Ihre Güter und Habe verkauften sie und teilten sie aus unter alle, nachdem jedermann not war.
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
Und sie waren täglich und stets beieinander einmütig im Tempel und brachen das Brot hin und her in Häusern,
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
nahmen die Speise und lobeten Gott mit Freuden und einfältigem Herzen und hatten Gnade bei dem ganzen Volk. Der HERR aber tat hinzu täglich, die da selig wurden, zu der Gemeinde.
