Luke 17
1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
Er sprach aber zu seinen Jüngern: Es ist unmöglich, daß nicht Ärgernisse kommen; wehe aber dem, durch welchen sie kommen!
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
Es wäre ihm nützer, daß man einen Mühlstein an seinen Hals hängete und würfe ihn ins Meer, denn daß er dieser Kleinen einen ärgert.
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
Hütet euch! So dein Bruder an dir sündiget, so strafe ihn; und so er sich bessert, vergib ihm.
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
Und wenn er siebenmal des Tages an dir sündigen würde und siebenmal des Tages wieder käme zu dir und spräche: Es reuet mich, so sollst du ihm vergeben.
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
Und die Apostel sprachen zu dem HERRN: Stärke uns den Glauben!
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
Der HERR aber sprach: Wenn ihr Glauben habt als ein Senfkorn und saget zu diesem Maulbeerbaum: Reiß dich aus und versetze dich ins Meer, so wird er euch gehorsam sein.
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
Welcher ist unter euch, der einen Knecht hat, der ihm pflüget oder das Vieh weidet, wenn er heimkommt vom Felde, daß er ihm sage: Gehe bald hin und setze dich zu Tische?
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
Ist's nicht also, daß er zu ihm saget: Richte zu, daß ich zu Abend esse; schürze dich und diene mir, bis ich esse und trinke; danach sollst du auch essen und trinken?
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
Danket er auch demselbigen Knechte, daß er getan hat, was ihm befohlen war? Ich meine es nicht.
10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
Also auch ihr, wenn ihr alles getan habt, was euch befohlen ist, so sprechet: Wir sind unnütze Knechte; wir haben getan, was wir zu tun schuldig waren.
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
Und es begab sich, da er reisete gen Jerusalem, zog er mitten durch Samarien und Galiläa.
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
Und als er in einen Markt kam, begegneten ihm zehn aussätzige Männer, die stunden von ferne
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
und erhuben ihre Stimme und sprachen: Jesu, lieber Meister, erbarme dich unser!
14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
Und da er sie sah, sprach er zu ihnen: Gehet hin und zeiget euch den Priestern. Und es geschah, da sie hingingen, wurden sie rein.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
Einer aber unter ihnen, da er sah, daß er gesund worden war, kehrete er um und preisete Gott mit lauter Stimme
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
und fiel auf sein Angesicht zu seinen Füßen und dankete ihm. Und das war ein Samariter.
17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
Jesus aber antwortete und sprach: Sind ihrer nicht zehn rein worden? Wo sind aber die Neune?
18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
Hat sich sonst keiner funden, der wieder umkehrete und, gäbe Gott die Ehre, denn dieser Fremdling?
19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
Und er sprach zu ihm: Stehe auf, gehe hin! Dein Glaube hat dir geholfen.
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
Da er aber gefraget ward von der Pharisäern: Wann kommt das Reich Gottes? antwortete er ihnen und sprach: Das Reich Gottes kommt nicht mit äußerlichen Gebärden.
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
Man wird nicht sagen: Siehe hier oder da ist es! Denn sehet, das Reich Gottes ist inwendig in euch.
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
Er sprach aber zu den Jüngern: Es wird die Zeit kommen, daß ihr werdet begehren zu sehen einen Tag des Menschensohns, und werdet ihn nicht sehen,
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
Und sie werden zu euch sagen: Siehe hier, siehe da! Gehet nicht hin und folget auch nicht!
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
Denn wie der Blitz oben vom Himmel blitzet und leuchtet über alles, was unter dem Himmel ist, also wird des Menschen Sohn an seinem Tage sein.
25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
Zuvor aber muß er viel leiden und verworfen werden von diesem Geschlechte.
26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
Und wie es geschah zu den Zeiten Noahs, so wird's auch geschehen in den Tagen des Menschensohns:
27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
sie aßen, sie tranken, sie freieten, sie ließen sich freien bis auf den Tag, da Noah in die Arche ging, und kam die Sintflut und brachte sie alle um.
28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
Desselbigengleichen, wie es geschah zu den Zeiten Lots: sie aßen, sie tranken, sie kauften, sie verkauften, sie pflanzten, sie baueten.
29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
An dem Tage aber, da Lot aus Sodom ging, da regnete es Feuer und Schwefel vom Himmel und brachte sie alle um.
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
Auf diese Weise wird's auch gehen an dem Tage; wenn des Menschen Sohn soll offenbaret werden.
31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
An demselbigen Tage, wer auf dem Dache ist und sein Hausrat in dem Hause, der steige nicht hernieder, dasselbige zu holen. Desselbigengleichen, wer auf dem Felde ist, der wende nicht um nach dem, das hinter ihm ist.
32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
Gedenket an des Lots Weib!
33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
Wer da suchet seine Seele zu erhalten, der wird sie verlieren; und wer sie verlieren wird, der wird ihr zum Leben helfen.
34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
Ich sage euch: In derselbigen Nacht werden zwei auf einem Bette liegen; einer wird angenommen, der andere wird verlassen werden.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
Zwo werden mahlen miteinander; eine wird angenommen, die andere wird verlassen werden.
zwei werden auf dem Felde sein; einer wird angenommen, der andere wird verlassen werden.
37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
Und sie antworteten und sprachen zu ihm: HERR, wo da? Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Wo das Aas ist, da sammeln sich die Adler.
