< Luke 10 >

1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Hierauf aber bestellte der Herr noch siebzig andere (Jünger) und sandte sie paarweise vor sich her in alle Städte und Ortschaften, in die er selbst zu gehen gedachte.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Er sagte zu ihnen: »Die Ernte ist groß, aber klein die Zahl der Arbeiter; darum bittet den Herrn der Ernte, daß er Arbeiter auf sein Erntefeld sende!
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Geht hin! Seht, ich sende euch wie Lämmer mitten unter Wölfe.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Nehmt keinen Geldbeutel mit euch, auch keinen Ranzen und keine Schuhe, und laßt euch unterwegs mit niemand in lange Begrüßungen ein.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Wo ihr in ein Haus eintretet, da sagt zuerst: ›Friede (sei) mit diesem Hause!‹
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Wenn dann dort ein Sohn des Friedens wohnt, wird der Friede, den ihr ihm gewünscht habt, auf ihm ruhen; andernfalls wird euer Friedensgruß zu euch zurückkehren.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
In demselben Hause bleibt dann und eßt und trinkt, was man euch bietet; denn der Arbeiter ist seines Lohnes wert. Geht nicht aus einem Hause weg in ein anderes;
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
und wo ihr in einer Stadt einkehrt und man euch aufnimmt, so eßt, was man euch vorsetzt,
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
und heilt die Kranken daselbst und sagt zu den Stadtbewohnern: ›Das Reich Gottes ist nahe zu euch herbeigekommen!‹
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Wo ihr aber in einer Stadt einkehrt und man euch nicht aufnimmt, so geht auf ihre Straßen hinaus und sagt:
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
›Sogar den Staub, der sich uns aus eurer Stadt an die Füße gehängt hat, wischen wir ab, damit er euch verbleibt, doch das sollt ihr wissen, daß das Reich Gottes nahe herbeigekommen ist!‹
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Ich sage euch: Es wird Sodom an jenem Tage erträglicher ergehen als der betreffenden Stadt!
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Wehe dir, Chorazin! Wehe dir, Bethsaida! Denn wenn in Tyrus und Sidon die Wundertaten geschehen wären, die bei euch geschehen sind, so hätten sie längst, in Sack und Asche sitzend, Buße getan.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Doch es wird Tyrus und Sidon beim Gericht erträglicher ergehen als euch.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Und du, Kapernaum, wirst doch nicht etwa bis zum Himmel erhöht werden? Nein, bis zum Totenreich wirst du hinabgestoßen werden! (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Wer euch hört, der hört mich, und wer euch verwirft, verwirft mich; wer aber mich verwirft, verwirft den, der mich gesandt hat.«
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Die Siebzig kehrten dann voller Freude zurück und sagten: »Herr, auch die bösen Geister sind uns kraft deines Namens gehorsam!«
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Da antwortete er ihnen: »Ich habe den Satan wie einen Blitz aus dem Himmel herabgestürzt gesehen.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Ihr wißt: ich habe euch die Macht verliehen, auf Schlangen und Skorpione zu treten, und Macht über das ganze Heer des Widersachers, und keinen Schaden wird er euch irgendwie zufügen können.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Doch nicht darüber freuet euch, daß die Geister euch gehorsam sind; freut euch vielmehr darüber, daß eure Namen im Himmel eingeschrieben stehen!«
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
In eben dieser Stunde jubelte Jesus durch den heiligen Geist mit den Worten: »Ich preise dich, Vater, Herr des Himmels und der Erde, daß du dies vor Weisen und Klugen verborgen und es Unmündigen geoffenbart hast; ja, Vater, denn so ist es dir wohlgefällig gewesen.
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Alles ist mir von meinem Vater übergeben worden, und niemand erkennt, wer der Sohn ist, als nur der Vater, und wer der Vater ist, als nur der Sohn, und wem der Sohn ihn offenbaren will.« –
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Dann wandte er sich zu den Jüngern besonders und sagte: »Selig sind die Augen, die da sehen, was ihr seht!
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Denn ich sage euch: Viele Propheten und Könige haben gewünscht, das zu sehen, was ihr seht, und haben es nicht gesehen, und das zu hören, was ihr hört, und haben es nicht gehört.«
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Da trat ein Gesetzeslehrer auf, um ihn zu versuchen, und fragte: »Meister, was muß ich tun, um ewiges Leben zu ererben?« (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Jesus erwiderte ihm: »Was steht im Gesetz geschrieben? Wie lauten da die Worte?«
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Er gab zur Antwort: »Du sollst den Herrn, deinen Gott, lieben von ganzem Herzen, mit deiner ganzen Seele, mit aller deiner Kraft und mit deinem ganzen Denken« und »deinen Nächsten wie dich selbst«.
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Jesus sagte zu ihm: »Du hast richtig geantwortet; tu das, so wirst du leben!«
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Jener wollte sich aber rechtfertigen und sagte zu Jesus: »Ja, wer ist denn mein Nächster?«
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Da erwiderte Jesus: »Ein Mann ging von Jerusalem nach Jericho hinab und fiel Räubern in die Hände; die plünderten ihn aus, schlugen ihn blutig, ließen ihn halbtot liegen und gingen davon.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Zufällig kam ein Priester jene Straße hinabgezogen und sah ihn liegen, ging aber vorüber.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Ebenso kam auch ein Levit an die Stelle und sah ihn, ging aber vorüber.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Ein Samariter aber, der auf der Reise war, kam in seine Nähe, und als er ihn sah, fühlte er Mitleid mit ihm;
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
er trat an ihn heran und verband ihm die Wunden, wobei er Öl und Wein darauf goß; dann setzte er ihn auf sein Maultier, brachte ihn in eine Herberge und verpflegte ihn.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Am folgenden Morgen holte er zwei Denare heraus (aus seinem Beutel), gab sie dem Wirt und sagte: ›Verpflege ihn, und was es dich etwa mehr kostet, will ich dir bei meiner Rückkehr ersetzen.‹
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Wer von diesen dreien hat sich nun nach deiner Ansicht dem unter die Räuber Gefallenen als Nächster erwiesen?«
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Jener antwortete: »Der, welcher die Barmherzigkeit an ihm geübt hat.« Da sagte Jesus zu ihm: »So gehe hin und handle du ebenso!«
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Als sie dann weiterwanderten, kam er in ein Dorf, und eine Frau namens Martha nahm ihn in ihr Haus auf.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Diese hatte eine Schwester namens Maria, die sich zu den Füßen des Herrn niederließ und seinen Worten zuhörte;
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Martha dagegen ließ sich durch vielerlei Dienstleistungen für die Bewirtung in Anspruch nehmen. Nun trat sie zu ihm und sagte: »Herr, machst du dir nichts daraus, daß meine Schwester die Bedienung mir allein überlassen hat? Sage ihr doch, sie möge mir zur Hand gehen!«
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Aber der Herr gab ihr zur Antwort: »Martha, Martha! Du machst dir [Sorge und] Unruhe um vielerlei;
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
aber nur eins ist nötig. Denn Maria hat das gute Teil erwählt: das soll ihr nicht genommen werden.«
