Luke 8
1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
Und es begab sich danach, daß er reisete durch Städte und Märkte und predigte und verkündigte das Evangelium vom Reich Gottes, und die Zwölfe mit ihm,
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
dazu etliche Weiber, die er gesund hatte gemacht von den bösen Geistern und Krankheiten, nämlich Maria, die da Magdalena heißt, von welcher waren sieben Teufel ausgefahren,
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
und Johanna, das Weib Chusas, des Pflegers des Herodes, und Susanna und viel andere, die ihm Handreichung taten von ihrer Habe.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
Da nun viel Volks beieinander war und aus den Städten zu ihm eileten, sprach er durch ein Gleichnis:
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
Es ging ein Sämann aus, zu säen seinen Samen; und indem er säte, fiel etliches an den Weg und ward vertreten, und die Vögel unter dem Himmel fraßen's auf.
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
Und etliches fiel auf den Fels; und da es aufging, verdorrete es, darum daß es nicht Saft hatte.
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
Und etliches fiel mitten unter die Dornen; und die Dornen gingen mit auf und erstickten's.
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
Und etliches fiel auf ein gut Land; und es ging auf und trug hundertfältige Frucht. Da er das sagte, rief er: Wer Ohren hat zu hören, der höre!
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
Es fragten ihn aber seine Jünger und sprachen, was dieses Gleichnis wäre.
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
Er aber sprach: Euch ist's gegeben, zu wissen das Geheimnis des Reichs Gottes; den andern aber in Gleichnissen, daß sie es nicht sehen, ob sie es schon sehen, und nicht verstehen, ob sie es schon hören.
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Das ist aber das Gleichnis: Der Same ist das Wort Gottes.
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
Die aber an dem Wege sind, das sind, die es hören; danach kommt der Teufel und nimmt das Wort von ihrem Herzen, auf daß sie nicht glauben und selig werden.
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
Die aber auf dem Fels sind die: wenn sie es hören, nehmen sie das Wort mit Freuden an. Und die haben nicht Wurzel: eine Zeitlang glauben sie und zu der Zeit der Anfechtung fallen sie ab.
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
Das aber unter die Dornen fiel, sind die, so es hören und gehen hin unter den Sorgen, Reichtum und Wollust dieses Lebens und ersticken und bringen keine Frucht.
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
Das aber auf dem guten Lande sind, die das Wort hören und behalten in einem feinen, guten Herzen und bringen Frucht in Geduld.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
Niemand aber zündet ein Licht an und bedeckt es mit einem Gefäß oder setzt es unter eine Bank, sondern er setzt es auf einen Leuchter, auf daß wer hineingehet, das Licht sehe.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
Denn es ist nichts verborgen, was nicht offenbar werde, auch nichts Heimliches, was nicht kund werde und an den Tag komme.
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
So sehet nun darauf, wie ihr zuhöret! Denn wer da hat, dem wird gegeben; wer aber nicht hat, von dem wird genommen, auch was er meinet zu haben.
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
Es gingen aber hinzu seine Mutter und Brüder und konnten vor dem Volk nicht zu ihm kommen.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
Und es ward ihm angesagt: Deine Mutter und deine Brüder stehen draußen und wollen dich sehen.
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Er aber antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Meine Mutter und meine Brüder sind diese, die Gottes Wort hören und tun.
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
Und es begab sich auf der Tage einen, daß er in ein Schiff trat samt seinen Jüngern. Und er sprach zu ihnen: Lasset uns über den See fahren! Sie stießen vom Lande.
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
Und da sie schiffeten, schlief er ein. Und es kam ein Windwirbel auf den See; und die Wellen überfielen sie, und stunden in großer Gefahr.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
Da traten sie zu ihm und weckten ihn auf und sprachen: Meister, Meister, wir verderben! Da stund er auf und bedräuete den Wind und die Woge des Wassers; und es ließ ab und ward eine Stille.
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
Er sprach aber zu ihnen: Wo ist euer Glaube? Sie fürchteten sich aber und verwunderten sich und sprachen untereinander: Wer ist dieser? Denn er gebeut dem Wind und dem Wasser, und sie sind ihm gehorsam.
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
Und sie schifften fort in die Gegend der Gadarener, welche ist Galiläa gegenüber.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
Und als er austrat auf das Land, begegnete ihm ein Mann aus der Stadt, der hatte Teufel von langer Zeit her und tat keine Kleider an und blieb in keinem Hause, sondern in den Gräbern.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
Da er aber Jesum sah, schrie er und fiel vor ihm nieder und rief laut und sprach: Was habe ich mit dir zu schaffen, Jesu, du Sohn Gottes, des Allerhöchsten? Ich bitte dich, du wollest mich nicht quälen.
Denn er gebot dem unsaubern Geist, daß er von dem Menschen ausführe; denn er hatte ihn lange Zeit geplaget. Und er war mit Ketten gebunden und mit Fesseln gefangen; und zerriß die Bande und ward getrieben von dem Teufel in die Wüsten.
30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
Und Jesus fragte ihn und sprach: Wie heißest du? Er sprach: Legion. Denn es waren viel Teufel in ihn gefahren.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
Und sie baten ihn, daß er sie nicht hieße in die Tiefe fahren. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
Es war aber daselbst eine große Herde Säue auf der Weide auf dem Berge. Und sie baten ihn, daß er ihnen erlaubete, in dieselbigen zu fahren. Und er erlaubte ihnen.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Da fuhren die Teufel aus von dem Menschen und fuhren in die Säue. Und die Herde stürzte sich mit einem Sturm in den See und ersoffen.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
Da aber die Hirten sahen, was da geschah, flohen sie und verkündigten's in der Stadt und in den Dörfern.
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
Da gingen sie hinaus, zu sehen, was da geschehen war; und kamen zu Jesu und fanden den Menschen, von welchem die Teufel ausgefahren waren, sitzend zu den Füßen Jesu, bekleidet und vernünftig; und erschraken.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
Und die es gesehen hatten, verkündigten's ihnen, wie der Besessene war gesund worden.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
Und es bat ihn die ganze Menge der umliegenden Länder der Gadarener, daß er von ihnen ginge. Denn es war sie eine große Furcht ankommen. Und er trat in das Schiff und wandte wieder um.
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
Es bat ihn aber der Mann, von dem die Teufel ausgefahren waren, daß er bei ihm möchte sein. Aber Jesus ließ ihn von sich und sprach:
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
Gehe wieder heim und sage, wie große Dinge dir Gott getan hat. Und er ging hin und predigte durch die ganze Stadt, wie große Dinge ihm Jesus getan hatte.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
Und es begab sich, da Jesus wiederkam, nahm ihn das Volk auf; denn sie warteten alle auf ihn.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
Und siehe, da kam ein Mann mit Namen Jairus, der ein Oberster der Schule war, und fiel Jesu zu den Füßen und bat ihn, daß er wollte in sein Haus kommen:
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
Denn er hatte eine einige Tochter bei zwölf Jahren, die lag in den letzten Zügen. Und da er hinging, drang ihn das Volk.
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
Und ein Weib hatte den Blutgang zwölf Jahre gehabt; die hatte alle ihre Nahrung an die Ärzte gewandt und konnte von niemand geheilet werden.
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
Die trat hinzu von hinten und rührete seines Kleides Saum an; und alsbald stund ihr der Blutgang.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
Und Jesus sprach: Wer hat mich angerühret? Da sie aber alle leugneten, sprach Petrus, und die mit ihm waren: Meister, das Volk dränget und drücket dich, und du sprichst: Wer hat mich angerühret?
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Jesus aber sprach: Es hat mich jemand angerühret; denn ich fühle, daß eine Kraft von mir gegangen ist.
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
Da aber das Weib sah, daß es nicht verborgen war, kam sie mit Zittern und fiel vor ihm nieder und verkündigte vor allem Volk, aus was Ursach'sie ihn hätte angerühret, und wie sie wäre alsbald gesund worden.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
Er aber sprach zu ihr: Sei getrost, meine Tochter; dein Glaube hat dir geholfen; gehe hin mit Frieden!
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
Da er noch redete, kam einer vom Gesinde des Obersten der Schule und sprach zu ihm: Deine Tochter ist gestorben; bemühe den Meister nicht.
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Da aber Jesus das hörete, antwortete er ihm und sprach: Fürchte dich nicht! Glaube nur, so wird sie gesund.
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
Da er aber in das Haus kam, ließ er niemand hineingehen denn Petrus und Jakobus und Johannes und des Kindes Vater und Mutter.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
Sie weineten aber alle und klagten um sie. Er aber sprach: Weinet nicht! Sie ist nicht gestorben, sondern sie schläft.
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
Und sie verlachten ihn, wußten wohl, daß sie gestorben war.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Er aber trieb sie alle hinaus, nahm sie bei der Hand und rief und sprach: Kind, stehe auf!
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
Und ihr Geist kam wieder, und sie stund alsbald auf. Und er befahl, man sollte ihr zu essen geben.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
Und ihre Eltern entsetzten sich. Er aber gebot ihnen, daß sie niemand sagten, was geschehen war.
