Luke 14
1 One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
Und es geschah, als er am Sabbath in das Haus eines der Obersten der Pharisäer kam, um zu essen, daß sie auf ihn lauerten.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Und siehe, ein gewisser wassersüchtiger Mensch war vor ihm.
3 Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
Und Jesus hob an und sprach zu den Gesetzgelehrten und Pharisäern und sagte: Ist es erlaubt, am Sabbath zu heilen?
4 [They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
Sie aber schwiegen. Und er faßte ihn an und heilte ihn und entließ ihn.
5 Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
Und er antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Wer ist unter euch, dessen Esel oder Ochs in einen Brunnen fällt, und der ihn nicht alsbald herauszieht am Tage des Sabbaths?
6 [They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
Und sie vermochten nicht, ihm darauf zu antworten.
7 Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
Er sprach aber zu den Eingeladenen ein Gleichnis, indem er bemerkte, wie sie die ersten Plätze wählten, und sagte zu ihnen:
8 “When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
Wenn du von jemand zur Hochzeit geladen wirst, so lege dich nicht auf den ersten Platz, damit nicht etwa ein Geehrterer als du von ihm geladen sei,
9 [When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
und der, welcher dich und ihn geladen hat, komme und zu dir spreche: Mache diesem Platz; und dann wirst du anfangen, mit Schande den letzten Platz einzunehmen.
10 Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
Sondern, wenn du geladen bist, so gehe hin und lege dich auf den letzten Platz, auf daß, wenn der, welcher dich geladen hat, kommt, er zu dir spreche: Freund, rücke höher hinauf. Dann wirst du Ehre haben vor allen, die mit dir zu Tische liegen;
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
denn jeder, der sich selbst erhöht, wird erniedrigt werden, und wer sich selbst erniedrigt, wird erhöht werden.
12 [Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
Er sprach aber auch zu dem, der ihn geladen hatte: Wenn du ein Mittags-oder ein Abendmahl machst, so lade nicht deine Freunde, noch deine Brüder, noch deine Verwandten, noch reiche Nachbarn, damit nicht etwa auch sie dich wiederladen und dir Vergeltung werde.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Sondern wenn du ein Mahl machst, so lade Arme, Krüppel, Lahme, Blinde,
14 They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
und glückselig wirst du sein, weil sie nicht haben, dir zu vergelten; denn es wird dir vergolten werden in der Auferstehung der Gerechten.
15 One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
Als aber einer von denen, die mit zu Tische lagen, dies hörte, sprach er zu ihm: Glückselig, wer Brot essen wird im Reiche Gottes!
16 But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
Er aber sprach zu ihm: Ein gewisser Mensch machte ein großes Abendmahl und lud viele.
17 When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
Und er sandte seinen Knecht zur Stunde des Abendmahls, um den Geladenen zu sagen: Kommet, denn schon ist alles bereit.
18 But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Und sie fingen alle ohne Ausnahme an, sich zu entschuldigen. Der erste sprach zu ihm: Ich habe einen Acker gekauft und muß notwendig ausgehen und ihn besehen; ich bitte dich, halte mich für entschuldigt.
19 Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Und ein anderer sprach: Ich habe fünf Joch Ochsen gekauft, und ich gehe hin, sie zu versuchen; ich bitte dich, halte mich für entschuldigt.
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Und ein anderer sprach: Ich habe ein Weib geheiratet, und darum kann ich nicht kommen.
21 So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
Und der Knecht kam herbei und berichtete dies seinem Herrn. Da wurde der Hausherr zornig und sprach zu seinem Knechte: Geh eilends hinaus auf die Straßen und Gassen der Stadt, und bringe hier herein die Armen und Krüppel und Lahmen und Blinden.
22 [After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
Und der Knecht sprach: Herr, es ist geschehen, wie du befohlen hast, und es ist noch Raum.
23 [So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
Und der Herr sprach zu dem Knechte: Geh hinaus auf die Wege und an die Zäune und nötige sie hereinzukommen, auf daß mein Haus voll werde;
24 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
denn ich sage euch, daß nicht einer jener Männer, die geladen waren, mein Abendmahl schmecken wird.
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Es gingen aber große Volksmengen mit ihm; und er wandte sich um und sprach zu ihnen:
26 “If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
Wenn jemand zu mir kommt und haßt nicht seinen Vater und seine Mutter und sein Weib und seine Kinder und seine Brüder und Schwestern, dazu aber auch sein eigenes Leben, so kann er nicht mein Jünger sein;
27 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
und wer nicht sein Kreuz trägt und mir nachkommt, kann nicht mein Jünger sein.
28 [I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
Denn wer unter euch, der einen Turm bauen will, setzt sich nicht zuvor nieder und berechnet die Kosten, ob er das Nötige zur Ausführung habe?
29 [If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
Auf daß nicht etwa, wenn er den Grund gelegt hat und nicht zu vollenden vermag, alle, die es sehen, anfangen ihn zu verspotten
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
und sagen: Dieser Mensch hat angefangen zu bauen und vermochte nicht zu vollenden.
31 Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
Oder welcher König, der auszieht, um sich mit einem anderen König in Krieg einzulassen, setzt sich nicht zuvor nieder und ratschlagt, ob er imstande sei, dem mit Zehntausend entgegen zu treten, der wider ihn kommt mit Zwanzigtausend?
32 If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
Wenn aber nicht, so sendet er, während er noch fern ist, eine Gesandtschaft und bittet um die Friedensbedingungen.
33 So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
Also nun jeder von euch, der nicht allem entsagt, was er hat, kann nicht mein Jünger sein.
34 [Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
Das Salz [nun] ist gut; wenn aber auch das Salz kraftlos geworden ist, womit soll es gewürzt werden?
35 [If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
Es ist weder für das Land noch für den Dünger tauglich; man wirft es hinaus. Wer Ohren hat zu hören, der höre!
