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 begab sich, als er am Sabbat in das Haus eines Obersten der Pharisäer ging, um zu speisen, da beobachteten sie ihn.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Und siehe, da war ein wassersüchtiger Mensch 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 Schriftgelehrten und Pharisäern: 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. Da rührte er ihn an und machte ihn gesund 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 sprach zu ihnen: Wer von euch, wenn ihm sein Ochse oder Esel in den Brunnen fällt, wird ihn nicht alsbald herausziehen am Sabbattag?
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 ihm nichts dagegen 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 sagte aber zu den Gästen ein Gleichnis, da er bemerkte, wie sie die ersten 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 zur Hochzeit geladen bist, so setze dich nicht obenan, damit nicht etwa ein Vornehmerer 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 nun der, der dich und ihn geladen hat, komme und zu dir sage: Mache diesem Platz! und du dann beschämt 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 bist, so gehe hin und setze dich auf den letzten Platz, damit der, welcher dich eingeladen hat, wenn er kommt, zu dir spreche: Freund, rücke hinauf! Dann wirst du Ehre haben vor denen, die mit dir zu Tische sitzen.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Denn wer sich selbst erhöht, der 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 sagte aber auch zu dem, der ihn geladen hatte: Wenn du ein Mittags oder Abendmahl machst, so lade nicht deine Freunde, noch deine Brüder, noch deine Verwandten, noch reiche Nachbarn ein, damit nicht etwa auch sie dich wieder einladen 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 Gastmahl machst, so lade Arme, Krüppel, Lahme, 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; denn weil sie es dir nicht vergelten können, wird es 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 nun einer, der mit ihm zu Tische saß, solches hörte, sprach er zu ihm: Selig ist, wer das Brot ißt 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 Mensch machte ein großes Mahl und lud viele dazu.
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, den Geladenen zu sagen: 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 einstimmig an, sich zu entschuldigen. Der erste sprach zu ihm: Ich habe einen Acker gekauft und bin genötigt, hinauszugehen und ihn zu besehen; ich bitte dich, entschuldige mich!
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 prüfen; ich bitte dich, entschuldige mich!
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Wieder ein anderer sprach: Ich habe eine Frau genommen, 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 wieder und berichtete das seinem Herrn. Da wurde der Hausherr zornig und sprach zu seinem Knechte: Geh eilends hinaus auf die Gassen und Plätze der Stadt und führe die Armen und Krüppel und Lahmen und Blinden 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; es ist aber noch Raum da!
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 Knecht: Geh hinaus an die Landstraßen und Zäune und nötige sie hereinzukommen, damit 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 jener Männer, die geladen waren, mein Mahl schmecken wird.
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Es zog aber eine große Volksmenge 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 nicht seinen Vater und die Mutter, Weib und Kinder, Brüder und Schwestern haßt, dazu aber auch 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 her kommt, 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, setzt sich nicht zuvor hin und berechnet die Kosten, ob er genug habe zur gänzlichen 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 etwa, wenn er den Grund gelegt hat und es nicht zu vollenden vermag, alle, die es sehen, anfangen, über ihn zu spotten
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 vermochte es 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 mit einem andern König Krieg zu führen, setzt sich nicht zuvor hin und berät, ob er imstande sei, mit zehntausend dem zu begegnen, der mit zwanzigtausend gegen ihn anrückt?
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, solange jener noch fern ist, eine Botschaft 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.”
So kann auch keiner von euch, der nicht allem entsagt, was er hat, 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 ist gut; wenn aber auch 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 für das Erdreich, noch für den Dünger tauglich; man wirft es hinaus. Wer Ohren hat zu hören, der höre!
