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, daß Er in das Haus eines der Obersten der Pharisäer kam, am Sabbath das Brot zu essen; und sie hielten auf Ihn.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Und siehe, da war vor Ihm ein Mensch, 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 sprach zu den Gesetzlehrern 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 waren aber stille. Und Er nahm ihn, 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 antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Welcher ist unter euch, dem ein Esel oder ein Ochs in den Brunnen fällt, und der ihn nicht alsbald heraufzieht 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 Ihm nicht darauf zu entgegnen.
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 aber sagte denen, die gerufen waren, ein Gleichnis, da Er bemerkte, daß sie sich 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 gerufen wirst, so laß dich nicht nieder an den ersten Platz. Es möchte sonst ein Geehrterer denn du von ihm gerufen sein,
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, so dich und ihn gerufen hat, kommen und zu dir sagen: Gib diesem den Platz, da du dann beschämt den letzten Platz einnehmen müßtest.
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, laß dich an den letzten Platz nieder, auf daß, wenn der kommt, der dich geladen hat, er zu dir spreche: Rücke weiter hinauf, mein Freund, und du dann Ehre habest vor denen, 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 wer sich selbst erhöht, der wird erniedrigt, 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 Mittagsmahl oder ein Abendmahl machst, so rufe nicht deine Freunde noch deine Brüder, noch deine Verwandten, noch reiche Nachbarn, auf daß nicht etwa auch sie dich wieder laden, 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 rufe 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 du wirst selig sein; weil sie nichts haben, es dir zu vergelten; denn bei der Auferstehung der Gerechten wird es dir vergolten 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!”
Als solches aber einer derer, die mit zu Tische lagen, hörte, sprach er zu Ihm: Selig ist, der das Brot isset 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: Es war ein Mensch, der machte ein großes Abendmahl 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 zur Stunde des Abendmahls sandte er seinen Knecht aus und ließ denen, die geladen waren, sagen: Kommet, denn alles ist schon bereitet.
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 übereins an, sich zu entschuldigen. Der erste sagte ihm: Ich habe ein Feld gekauft und muß notwendig hinausgehen, es 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 sagte: 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.’
Und ein anderer sagte: 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 selbiger Knecht trat herzu und sagte solches seinem Herrn an. Da ward der Hausherr zornig und sprach zu seinem Knecht: Gehe schnell hinaus auf die Straßen und die Gassen der Stadt und führe die Armen und die Krüppel und die Blinden und die 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 verordnet hast, und es ist noch Platz 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: Gehe hinaus auf die Wege und 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 keiner selbiger Männer, die geladen worden, mein Abendmahl kosten soll.
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Es zog aber viel Gedränge mit Ihm, und Er wandte Sich, 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!
So jemand zu Mir kommt und haßt nicht seinen Vater und die Mutter und das Weib und die Kinder und die Brüder und die Schwestern, ja selbst auch seine eigene Seele, der kann Mein Jünger nicht 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, der kann Mein Jünger nicht 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 es 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.
Auf daß nicht, so er den Grund gelegt, und nicht vermag es zu vollenden, alle, die es schauen, 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 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, wo ist ein König, der hinzieht, um mit einem anderen König im Krieg zusammenzutreffen, und sich nicht zuvor hinsetzt und berät, ob er kann mit Zehntausenden begegnen dem der mit Zwanzigtausenden über ihn kommt?
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?’
Ist er es aber nicht, so sendet er, da er noch ferne ist, eine Gesandtschaft 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 ist es mit jeglichem unter euch: so er nicht alles, das er besitzt, aufgibt, kann er 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 ist gut; so aber das Salz fade wird, womit wird man es würzen?
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 Düngerhaufen tauglich. Hinaus wirft man es! Wer Ohren hat zu hören, der höre!
