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 Sabbat in das Haus eines der Obersten der Pharisäer ging, das Brot 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, da war ein Mensch vor ihm, der war wassersüchtig.
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 antwortete, und sagte zu den Gesetzeslehrern und Pharisäern, und sprach: Ist es erlaubt am Sabbat zu heilen, oder nicht?
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 griff ihn an, und heilte ihn, und ließ ihn gehen.
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 von euch, dessen Sohn, oder Ochse, in einen Brunnen fällt, würde ihn nicht alsbald herausziehen am Sabbattage?
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 konnten ihm darauf nicht 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 sagte aber ein Gleichnis zu den Gästen, da er bemerkte, wie sie die obersten Plätze auswählten, und sprach 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 geladen wirst zur Hochzeit, so lege dich nicht an den obersten Platz, damit nicht ein Angesehenerer, 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 dir sage: Mache diesem Platz, und du alsdann mit Beschämung den letzten Platz einnehmen müssest.
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 wirst, gehe hin, und belege den letzten Platz, damit, wenn der, welcher dich geladen hat, kommt, er zu dir sage: Freund, rücke weiter hinauf! Dann wirst du Ehre haben vor deinen Mitgästen.
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, der 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 Mittag- oder Abendmal machst, so rufe nicht deine Freunde, und deine Brüder, und deine Verwandten, und deine reichen Nachbarn, damit sie dich nicht wieder einladen, und dir vergolden 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 und Blinde ein;
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.”
So wirst du selig sein, weil sie es dir nicht vergelten können, den es wird dir vergolten werden in der Auferstehung der Gerechten., von zwei verschiedenen Auferstehungen redete, ist unsicher, denn die Auferstehung der Gerechten kann ja als mit der allgemeinen Auferstehung zusammenfallend gedacht werden.
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!”
Da das einer der Mitgäste hörte, sprach er zu ihm: Selig ist, wer das Brot ißt in der Gottesherrschaft!
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 Mensch machte ein großes Mahl, und lud Viele ein.
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 Mahles, zu sagen den Geladenen: Kommet, denn es ist schon 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 einmütig an, sich zu entschuldigen. Der erste sprach zu ihm: Ich habe einen Acker gekauft, und muß notwendiger Weise hinausgehen, und ihn ansehen. 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 gehe hin, sie zu untersuchen. 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 gefreit, 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 jener Knecht kam, und berichtete das seinem Herrn. Da ward der Hausherr zornig, und sprach zu seinem Knechte: Gehe schnell hinaus auf die Straße und Gassen der Stadt, und führe die Armen und Krüppel und Blinden und Lahmen hier herein.
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 noch ist 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: Gehe hinaus auf die Wege und an die Zäune, und nötige sie hereinzukommen, 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 keiner der Männer, die geladen waren, mein Mahl kosten wird.
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Es zogen aber viele Volkshaufen 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 Weib und Kinder, und Brüder, und Schwestern, und dazu noch seine eigene Seele, der kann 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 hinter mir dreinkommt, der 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 von euch, der einen Turm bauen will, sitzt nicht zuerst hin, und berechnet die Kosten, ob er hat zur Ausführung?
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.
Damit nicht, wo er den Grund gelegt hat, und es nicht hinausführen kann, 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 zu sagen: Dieser Mensch fing an zu bauen, und vermag nicht, es hinauszuführen.
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 zieht aus, einem andern König eine Schlacht zu liefern, und sitzt nicht zuerst hin, und beratschlagt, ob es möglich ist, mit Zehntausend zu begegnen dem, 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 schickt er eine Gesandtschaft, solange er noch ferne ist, und bittet um Frieden.
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 auch kann keiner von euch mein Jünger sein, der sich nicht lossagt von aller seiner Habe.
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 ist gut, wenn aber das Salz fade wird, 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 auf das Land, noch auf den Dünger nütze. Man wirft es hinaus. Wer Ohren hat zu hören, der höre!
