Luke 23
1 Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
Und der ganze Haufe stund auf und führeten ihn vor Pilatus
2 They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
und fingen an, ihn zu verklagen, und sprachen: Diesen finden wir, daß er das Volk abwendet und verbietet, den Schoß dem Kaiser zu geben, und spricht, er sei Christus, ein König.
3 Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
Pilatus aber fragte ihn und sprach: Bist du der Juden König? Er antwortete ihm und sprach: Du sagest es.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
Pilatus sprach zu den Hohenpriestern und zum Volk: Ich finde keine Ursache an diesem Menschen.
5 But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
Sie aber hielten an und sprachen: Er hat das Volk erreget damit, daß er gelehret hat hin und her im ganzen jüdischen Lande, und hat in Galiläa angefangen bis hieher.
6 When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
Da aber Pilatus Galiläa hörete, fragte er, ob er aus Galiläa wäre,
7 When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
Und als er vernahm, daß er unter des Herodes Obrigkeit gehörete, übersandte er ihn zu Herodes, welcher in denselbigen Tagen auch zu Jerusalem war.
8 [So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
Da aber Herodes Jesum sah, ward er sehr froh, denn er hätte ihn längst gerne gesehen; denn er hatte viel von ihm gehöret und hoffete, er würde ein Zeichen von ihm sehen.
9 So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
Und er fragte ihn mancherlei; er antwortete ihm aber nichts.
10 The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
Die Hohenpriester aber und Schriftgelehrten stunden und verklagten ihn hart.
11 Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
Aber Herodes mit seinem Hofgesinde verachtete und verspottete ihn, legte ihm ein weiß Kleid an und sandte ihn wieder zu Pilatus.
12 Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
Auf den Tag wurden Pilatus und Herodes Freunde miteinander; denn zuvor waren sie einander feind.
13 Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
Pilatus aber rief die Hohenpriester und die Obersten und das Volk zusammen
14 He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
und sprach zu ihnen: Ihr habt diesen Menschen zu mir gebracht, als der das Volk abwende. Und siehe, ich habe ihn vor euch verhöret und finde an dem Menschen der Sachen keine, der ihr ihn beschuldiget.
15 [Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
Herodes auch nicht; denn ich habe euch zu ihm gesandt, und siehe, man hat nichts auf ihn gebracht, was des Todes wert sei.
16 So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Darum will ich ihn züchtigen und loslassen.
Denn er mußte ihnen einen nach Gewohnheit des Festes losgeben.
18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
Da schrie der ganze Haufe und sprach: Hinweg mit diesem und gib uns Barabbas los!
19 Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
welcher war um eines Aufruhrs, so in der Stadt geschehen war, und um eines Mords willen ins Gefängnis geworfen.
20 Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
Da rief Pilatus abermal ihnen zu und wollte Jesum loslassen.
21 But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
Sie riefen aber und sprachen: Kreuzige, kreuzige ihn!
22 He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
Er aber sprach zum drittenmal zu ihnen: Was hat denn dieser Übels getan? Ich finde keine Ursache des Todes an ihm; darum will ich ihn züchtigen und loslassen.
23 But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
Aber sie lagen ihm an mit großem Geschrei und forderten, daß er gekreuziget würde. Und ihr und der Hohenpriester Geschrei nahm überhand.
24 Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
Pilatus aber urteilete, daß ihre Bitte geschähe,
25 The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
und ließ den los, der um Aufruhrs und Mords willen war ins Gefängnis geworfen, um welchen sie baten; aber Jesum übergab er ihrem Willen.
26 As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
Und als sie ihn hinführeten, ergriffen sie einen, Simon von Kyrene, der kam vom Felde, und legten das Kreuz auf ihn, daß er's Jesu nachtrüge.
27 A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
Es folgete ihm aber nach ein großer Haufe Volks und Weiber, die klageten und beweineten ihn.
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
Jesus aber wandte sich um zu ihnen und sprach: Ihr Töchter von Jerusalem, weinet nicht über mich, sondern weinet über euch selbst und über eure Kinder.
29 I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
Denn siehe, es wird die Zeit kommen, in welcher man sagen wird: Selig sind die Unfruchtbaren und die Leiber, die nicht geboren haben, und die Brüste, die nicht gesäuget haben.
30 Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
Dann werden sie anfangen zu sagen zu den Bergen: Fallet über uns! und zu den Hügeln: Decket uns!
31 [I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
Denn so man das tut am grünen Holz, was will am dürren werden?
32 Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
Es wurden aber auch hingeführt zwei andere Übeltäter, daß sie mit ihm abgetan würden.
33 When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
Und als sie kamen an die Stätte die da heißt Schädelstätte, kreuzigten sie ihn daselbst und die Übeltäter mit ihm, einen zur Rechten und einen zur Linken.
34 Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
Jesus aber sprach: Vater, vergib ihnen; denn sie wissen nicht was sie tun. Und sie teileten seine Kleider und warfen das Los darum.
35 Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
Und das Volk stund und sah zu. Und die Obersten samt ihnen spotteten sein und sprachen: Er hat andern geholfen, er helfe sich selber, ist er Christ, der Auserwählte Gottes!
36 The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
Es verspotteten ihn auch die Kriegsknechte, traten zu ihm und brachten ihm Essig
37 They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
und sprachen: Bist du der Juden König, so hilf dir selber.
38 [They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
Es war auch oben über ihm geschrieben die Überschrift mit griechischen und lateinischen und ebräischen Buchstaben: Dies ist der Juden König.
39 One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
Aber der Übeltäter einer, die da gehenkt waren, lästerte ihn und sprach: Bist du Christus, so hilf dir selbst und uns!
40 But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
Da antwortete der andere, strafte ihn und sprach: Und du fürchtest dich auch nicht vor Gott, der du doch in gleicher Verdammnis bist?
41 They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
Und zwar wir sind billig darinnen; denn wir empfangen, was unsere Taten wert sind; dieser aber hat nichts Ungeschicktes gehandelt.
42 Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
Und sprach zu Jesu: HERR, gedenke an mich wenn du in dein Reich kommst!
43 Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
Und Jesus sprach zu ihm: Wahrlich, ich sage dir, heute wirst du mit mir im Paradies sein.
44 [Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Und es war um die sechste Stunde. Und es ward eine Finsternis über das ganze Land bis an die neunte Stunde.
45 There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
Und die Sonne verlor ihren Schein, und der Vorhang des Tempels zerriß mitten entzwei.
46 [As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
Und Jesus rief laut und sprach: Vater, ich befehle meinen Geist in deine Hände! Und als er das gesagt, verschied er.
47 When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
Da aber der Hauptmann sah, was da geschah; preisete er Gott und sprach: Fürwahr, dieser ist ein frommer Mensch gewesen!
48 When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
Und alles Volk, das dabei war und zusah, da sie sahen, was da geschah, schlugen sich an ihre Brust und wandten wieder um.
49 All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
Es stunden aber alle seine Verwandten von ferne und die Weiber, die ihm aus Galiläa waren nachgefolget, und sahen das alles.
50 There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
Und siehe, ein Mann mit Namen Joseph, ein Ratsherr, der war ein guter, frommer Mann;
51 But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
der hatte nicht bewilliget in ihren Rat und Handel; der war von Arimathia, der Stadt der Juden, der auch auf das Reich Gottes wartete:
52 He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
der ging zu Pilatus und bat um den Leib Jesu
53 he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
und nahm ihn ab, wickelte ihn in Leinwand und legte ihn in ein gehauen Grab, darinnen niemand je gelegen war.
54 [They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
Und es war der Rüsttag, und der Sabbat brach an.
55 The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
Es folgeten aber die Weiber nach, die mit ihm kommen waren aus Galiläa, und beschaueten das Grab, und wie sein Leib gelegt ward.
56 Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
Sie kehreten aber um und bereiteten Spezerei und Salben. Und den Sabbat über waren sie stille nach dem Gesetz.
