Acts 3
1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Petrus aber und Johannes gingen miteinander hinauf in den Tempel um die neunte Stunde, da man pflegte zu beten.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Und es war ein Mann, lahm von Mutterleibe, der ließ sich tragen. Und sie setzten ihn täglich vor des Tempels Tür, die da heißet die schöne, daß er bettelte das Almosen von denen, die in den Tempel gingen.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Da er nun sah Petrus und Johannes, daß sie wollten zum Tempel hineingehen, bat er um ein Almosen.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Petrus aber sah ihn an mit Johannes und sprach: Siehe uns an!
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Und er sah sie an, wartete, daß er etwas von ihnen empfinge.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Petrus aber sprach: Silber und Gold habe ich nicht; was ich aber habe, das gebe ich dir: im Namen Jesu Christi von Nazareth stehe auf und wandele!
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Und griff ihn bei der rechten Hand und richtete ihn auf. Alsobald stunden seine Schenkel und Knöchel fest;
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
sprang auf, konnte gehen und stehen und ging mit ihnen in den Tempel, wandelte und sprang und lobete Gott.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Und es sah ihn alles Volk wandeln und Gott loben.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
Sie kannten ihn auch, daß er's war, der um das Almosen gesessen hatte vor der schönen Tür des Tempels; und sie wurden voll Wunderns und Entsetzens über dem, was ihm widerfahren war.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Als aber dieser Lahme, der nun gesund war, sich zu Petrus und Johannes hielt, lief alles Volk zu ihnen in die Halle, die da heißet Salomos, und wunderten sich.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Als Petrus das sah, antwortete er dem Volk: Ihr Männer von Israel, was wundert ihr euch darüber, oder was sehet ihr auf uns, als hätten wir diesen wandeln gemacht durch unsere eigene Kraft oder Verdienst?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Der Gott Abrahams und Isaaks und Jakobs, der Gott unserer Väter, hat sein Kind Jesum verkläret, welchen ihr überantwortet und verleugnet habt vor Pilatus, da derselbe urteilete, ihn loszulassen.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Ihr aber verleugnetet den Heiligen und Gerechten und batet, daß man euch den Mörder schenkte;
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
aber den Fürsten des Lebens habt ihr getötet. Den hat Gott auferwecket von den Toten; des sind wir Zeugen.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
Und durch den Glauben an seinen Namen hat er an diesem, den ihr sehet und kennet, bestätiget seinen Namen; und der Glaube durch ihn hat diesem gegeben diese Gesundheit vor euren Augen.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Nun, liebe Brüder, ich weiß, daß ihr's durch Unwissenheit getan habt wie auch eure Obersten.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Gott aber, was er durch den Mund aller seiner Propheten zuvor verkündiget hat, wie Christus leiden sollte, hat's also erfüllet.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
So tut nun Buße und bekehret euch, daß eure Sünden vertilget werden,
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
auf daß da komme die Zeit der Erquickung von dem Angesichte des HERRN, wenn, er senden wird den, der euch jetzt zuvor geprediget wird, Jesus Christus,
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
welcher muß den Himmel einnehmen bis auf die Zeit, da herwiedergebracht werde alles, was Gott geredet hat durch den Mund aller seiner heiligen Propheten von der Welt an. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Denn Mose hat gesagt zu den Vätern: Einen Propheten wird euch der HERR, euer Gott, erwecken aus euren Brüdern gleichwie mich, den sollt ihr hören in allem, was er zu euch sagen wird.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Und es wird geschehen, welche Seele denselbigen Propheten nicht hören wird, die soll vertilget werden aus dem Volk.
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Und alle Propheten von Samuel an und hernach, wieviel ihrer geredet haben, die haben von diesen Tagen verkündiget.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Ihr seid der Propheten und des Bundes Kinder, welchen Gott gemacht hat mit euren Vätern, da er sprach zu Abraham: Durch deinen Samen sollen gesegnet werden alle Völker auf Erden.
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
Euch zuvörderst hat Gott auferwecket sein Kind Jesum und hat ihn zu euch gesandt, euch zu segnen, daß ein jeglicher sich bekehre von seiner Bosheit.
