Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus, [along with us] disciples, left the house [where he was teaching and went] to [Galilee lake]. He sat down there,
An demselbigen Tage ging Jesus aus dem Hause und setzte sich an das Meer.
2 and a very large crowd gathered around him to [listen to his teaching]. So, [in order that they would not jostle him] (OR, [to speak to the people better]), he got into a boat and sat down [to teach them]. The crowd stood on the shore [and was listening].
Und es versammelte sich viel Volks zu ihm, also daß er in das Schiff trat und saß. Und alles Volk stund am Ufer.
3 He was telling them many parables. [One of the parables] that he told them was this: “Listen! A man went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
Und er redete zu ihnen mancherlei durch Gleichnisse und sprach: Siehe, es ging ein Sämann aus zu säen.
4 As he was scattering [them over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
Und indem er säete, fiel etliches an den Weg; da kamen die Vögel und fraßen's auf.
5 Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of the] rock. Those seeds sprouted very soon, [because the sun quickly warmed] the shallow soil.
Etliches fiel in das Steinige; da es nicht viel Erde hatte, und ging bald auf, darum daß es nicht tiefe Erde hatte.
6 But when [the young plants came up], they were scorched by the sun, and they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
Als aber die Sonne aufging, verwelkte es, und dieweil es nicht Wurzel hatte, ward es dürr.
7 Other seeds fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together with the young plants], and [they] crowded out [the plants].
Etliches fiel unter die Dornen; und die Dornen wuchsen auf und erstickten's.
8 [But] other seeds fell on good soil, and [the plants grew and] produced [a lot of] grain. Some [plants produced] 100 times [as many seeds as were planted]. Some [plants produced] 60 times [as much]. Some [plants produced] 30 times [as much].
Etliches fiel auf ein gut Land und trug Frucht, etliches hundertfältig, etliches sechzigfältig, etliches dreißigfältig.
9 If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
Wer Ohren hat zu hören, der höre!
10 [We] disciples approached Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you speak to the crowd?”
Und die Jünger traten zu ihm und sprachen: Warum redest du zu ihnen durch Gleichnisse?
11 He answered [us] saying, “God [EUP/MTY] is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [over people’s lives]. But he has not revealed it to others.
Er antwortete und sprach: Euch ist's gegeben, daß ihr, das Geheimnis des Himmelreichs vernehmet; diesen aber ist's nicht gegeben.
12 Those who [think about what I say and] understand [it], God will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [think carefully about what I say] will forget even what they already know.
Denn wer da hat, dem wird gegeben, daß er die Fülle habe; wer aber nicht hat, von dem wird auch genommen, was er hat.
13 That is why I use parables when I speak to people, because although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means], and although they hear [what I say], they do not really understand [what it means].
Darum rede ich zu ihnen durch Gleichnisse. Denn mit sehenden Augen sehen sie nicht und mit hörenden Ohren hören sie nicht; denn sie verstehen es nicht.
14 What these people do completely fulfills what [God told] the prophet Isaiah [to say long ago to the people who did not] try to understand what he said, You will hear [what I say], but you will not understand it. You will keep seeing [what I do], but you will not understand [what it means] [DOU].
Und über ihnen wird die Weissagung Jesajas erfüllet, die da sagt: Mit den Ohren werdet ihr hören und werdet es nicht verstehen, und mit sehenden Augen werdet ihr sehen und werdet es nicht vernehmen.
15 [God also said to Isaiah], These people have become unresponsive [MTY] [to what they see me do and to what they hear me say]. They listen unwillingly [MTY] [to what I say], and they do not pay attention to [MTY] [what I do]. If it were not so, they would perceive [MTY] [what I am doing], they would understand [MTY] [what I say to them], and they would turn [away from their sinful lives] and turn [to me], and I would save them [from being punished for their sins] [MET].
Denn dieses Volkes Herz ist verstockt, und ihre Ohren hören übel, und ihre Augen schlummern, auf daß sie nicht dermaleinst mit den Augen sehen und mit den Ohren hören und mit dem Herzen verstehen und sich bekehren, daß ich ihnen hülfe.
16 But as for you, God is pleased with you because you [SYN] have seen [what I have done] and because you [SYN] understand [what I say] [DOU].
Aber selig sind eure Augen, daß sie sehen, und eure Ohren, daß sie hören.
17 Note this: Many prophets and righteous people [who lived long ago] longed to see what you are seeing [me do], but they did not see it. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but they did not hear [what you hear me say].” [DOU]
Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Viel Propheten und Gerechte haben begehrt zu sehen, was ihr sehet, und haben's nicht gesehen, und zu hören, was ihr höret, und haben's nicht gehöret.
18 “[Since God wants] you [to understand what I am teaching you], listen as I [explain] the parable about the man who sowed [seeds in various kinds of soil].
So höret nun ihr dieses Gleichnis von dem Sämann!
19 The people who hear about how God rules over people’s lives and do not understand [what they have heard] are [like] the path where [some of] the seeds fell. [Satan], the Evil One, comes and causes these people to forget [MET] what they have heard [MET].
Wenn jemand das Wort von dem Reich höret und nicht verstehet, so kommt der Arge und reißet es hin, was da gesäet ist in sein Herz; und der ist's, der am Wege gesäet ist.
20 [Some people are like the] shallow soil on top of rock. When they hear God’s message, they immediately accept it joyfully.
Der aber auf das Steinige gesäet ist, der ist's, wenn jemand das Wort höret und dasselbige bald aufnimmt mit Freuden.
21 [But because it does not penetrate deeply into their inner beings, they believe it for only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When they are treated badly and caused to suffer because they believe [God’s message], they soon stop believing [it].
Aber er hat nicht Wurzel in ihm, sondern er ist wetterwendisch; wenn sich Trübsal und Verfolgung erhebt um des Worts willen, so ärgert er sich bald.
22 [Some people are like the soil that had the roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They hear God’s message, but they desire to be rich, [so they] worry [only] about [MTY, PRS] material things. As a result, they [PRS] forget [God’s] message, and they do not do [IDM] the things that God wants them to do. (aiōn g165)
Der aber unter die Dornen gesäet ist, der ist's, wenn jemand das Wort höret und die Sorge dieser Welt und Betrug des Reichtums erstickt das Wort und bringet nicht Frucht. (aiōn g165)
23 But [some people are like the] good soil where [some of the seeds] fell. [Just like the plants that grew in this soil] produced a lot of grain, [these people] hear my message and understand it. [Some of them] do many things [IDM] [that please God, some do] even more [things that please God, and some do] very many [things that please God].”
Der aber in das gute Land gesäet ist, der ist's, wenn jemand das Wort höret und verstehet es und dann auch Frucht bringet; und etlichen trägt hundertfältig, etlicher aber sechzigfältig, etlicher dreißigfältig.
24 Jesus also told the crowd another parable, [by which he tried to explain that although] God [MTY/EUP] is a king, [he will not immediately judge and punish all the wicked people]. Jesus said, “[God] is like a landowner [who sent his servants] to sow good [wheat] seed in his field.
Er legte ihnen ein ander Gleichnis vor und sprach: Das Himmelreich ist gleich einem Menschen, der guten Samen auf seinen Acker säete.
25 While those servants were sleeping [and not watching the field], an enemy of the landowner came and scattered weed [seeds] in the midst of the wheat. Then he left.
Da aber die Leute schliefen, kam sein Feind und säete Unkraut zwischen den Weizen und ging davon.
26 After [the seeds] sprouted and the green plants [grew], the heads of grain began to form. But the weeds also grew.
Da nun das Kraut wuchs und Frucht brachte, da fand sich auch das Unkraut.
27 So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, you [RHQ] [gave us good seeds and those are the ones we] [RHQ] [planted] in your field. So where did the weeds come from?’
Da traten die Knechte zu dem Hausvater und sprachen: HERR, hast du nicht guten Samen auf deinen Acker gesäet? Woher hat er denn das Unkraut?
28 The landowner said to them, ‘[My] enemy did this.’ His servants said to him, ‘So, do you want us to pull up [the weeds and] put them in a pile?’
Er sprach zu ihnen: Das hat der Feind getan. Da sprachen die Knechte: Willst du denn, daß wir hingehen und es ausjäten?
29 He said [to them], ‘No, [do not do that, because] you might pull up [some of] the wheat at the same time.
Er aber sprach: Nein, auf daß ihr nicht zugleich den Weizen mit ausraufet, so ihr das Unkraut ausjätet.
30 Let the wheat and the weeds grow together until harvest [time].’ At that time I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather the weeds, tie them into bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat [and put it] into my barns.’”
Lasset beides miteinander wachsen bis zur Ernte; und um der Ernte Zeit will ich zu den Schnittern sagen: Sammelt zuvor das Unkraut und bindet es in Bündlein, daß man es verbrenne; aber den Weizen sammelt mir in meine Scheuern.
31 Jesus also told this parable: “The [number of] (OR, [God’s influence in the lives of]) [people whose] lives God rules over [will continue to grow. It is very much] like mustard seeds grow after a man plants them in his field.
Ein ander Gleichnis legte er ihnen vor und sprach: Das Himmelreich ist gleich einem Senfkorn, das ein Mensch nahm und säete auf seinen Acker,
32 Although mustard seeds are among the smallest of all the seeds [that people plant, here in Israel they become large plants. When the plants have fully grown, they are larger than the other garden plants. They become shrubs that are large enough for birds to build nests in their branches.”]
welches das kleinste ist unter allem Samen; wenn es aber erwächst, so ist es das größte unter dem Kohl und wird ein Baum, daß die Vögel unter dem Himmel kommen und wohnen unter seinen Zweigen.
33 Jesus also told this parable: “[The way people who let] God [MTY/EUP] rule their lives [MET] [can influence the world] is like yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
Ein ander Gleichnis redete er zu ihnen: Das Himmelreich ist einem Sauerteig gleich, den ein Weib nahm und vermengete ihn unter drei Scheffel Mehl, bis daß es gar durchsäuert ward.
34 Jesus told the crowd parables [to teach them] all these things. When he spoke [HYP] to them, he habitually used such illustrations.
Solches alles redete Jesus durch Gleichnisse zu dem Volk und ohne Gleichnisse redete er nicht zu ihnen,
35 By doing that, [he] fulfilled what [God told one of] the prophets to write [long ago]: I will speak [MTY] in parables; I will tell [parables to teach] what I have kept secret since I created the world.
auf daß erfüllet würde, was gesagt ist durch den Propheten, der da spricht: Ich will meinen Mund auftun in Gleichnissen und will aussprechen die Heimlichkeiten von Anfang der Welt.
36 After Jesus dismissed the crowds, he went inside. Then [we] disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable about the weeds [that grew] in the [wheat] field.”
Da ließ Jesus das Volk von sich und kam heim. Und seine Jünger traten zu ihm und sprachen: Deute uns dieses Gleichnis vom Unkraut auf dem Acker!
37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed represents [me], the one who came from heaven.
Er antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Des Menschen Sohn ist's, der da guten Samen säet.
38 The field represents this world [MTY], [where people live]. The seeds [that grew] well represent the people who let God rule their lives [MET]. The weeds represent the people who do what [the devil], the Evil One, [tells them to do].
Der Acker ist die Welt. Der gute Same sind die Kinder des Reichs. Das Unkraut sind die Kinder der Bosheit.
39 The enemy who sowed the weed seeds represents the devil. The [time when the reapers will] harvest [the grain] represents the time when the world will end. The reapers represent the angels. (aiōn g165)
Der Feind, der sie säet, ist der Teufel. Die Ernte ist das Ende der Welt. Die Schnitter sind die Engel. (aiōn g165)
40 The weeds are gathered and burned. {The reapers gather the weeds. Then they burn them.} That represents [the judging of people, which God will do] when the world will end. [It will be like this]: (aiōn g165)
Gleichwie man nun das Unkraut ausjätet und mit Feuer verbrennet, so wird's auch am Ende dieser Welt gehen. (aiōn g165)
41 I, the one who came from heaven, will send my angels, and they will gather [from everywhere the people] who cause others to quit believing in me [MET] and all those who disobey [God’s] commands.
Des Menschen Sohn wird seine Engel senden, und sie werden sammeln aus seinem Reich alle Ärgernisse und die da Unrecht tun,
42 They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. (questioned)
und werden sie in den Feuerofen werfen; da wird sein Heulen und Zähneklappen.
43 [God’s] brightness will shine [on] the people who have lived as he wants them to. It will shine [on them as brightly] as the sun [shines]. It will shine on them in the place where [God], their Father, rules over them. If you want to understand this [MTY], you should think [carefully] about what I have just said.”
Dann werden die Gerechten leuchten wie die Sonne in ihres Vaters Reich. Wer Ohren hat zu hören, der höre!
44 “[What people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what a certain man did to acquire a treasure]. A treasure was hidden in a field by someone {Someone hid a treasure in a field [and never dug it up again]}. When [another] man found it, he hid it [by burying it again in order that no one else would find it]. Being very happy [that he had found something very valuable, he went and] sold all his possessions [to obtain money to buy the field the treasure was in]. He then went and bought the field, [and so he was able to acquire that treasure].
Abermal ist gleich das Himmelreich einem verborgenen Schatz im Acker, welchen ein Mensch fand und verbarg ihn und ging hin vor Freuden über denselbigen und verkaufte alles, was er hatte, und kaufte den Acker.
45 Also, what [people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what] a merchant [did who was] looking for good quality pearls [to buy].
Abermal ist gleich das Himmelreich einem Kaufmann, der gute Perlen suchte.
46 When he found one very costly pearl [that was for sale], he sold all his possessions [to acquire enough money to buy that pearl]. Then he [went and] bought it.
Und da er eine köstliche Perle fand, ging er hin und verkaufte alles, was er hatte, und kaufte dieselbige.
47 What God [MTY/EUP] [will do to people who falsely say that they are letting him] rule their lives is like what certain [fishermen] did [with the fish they caught] in a lake, using a large net. They caught all classes [of fish, both useful and worthless fish].
Abermal ist gleich das Himmelreich einem Netz, das ins Meer geworfen ist, damit man allerlei Gattung fänget.
48 When the net was full, the [fishermen] pulled it up onto the shore. Then they sat there and put the useful [fish] into buckets, and threw the worthless ones away.
Wenn es aber voll ist, so ziehen sie es heraus an das Ufer, sitzen und lesen die guten in ein Gefäß zusammen; aber die faulen werfen sie weg.
49 [What they did in separating the good fish from the bad ones] is like [what will happen to people] when the world ends. The angels will come [to where God is judging people], and will separate the wicked [people] from the righteous [ones]. (aiōn g165)
Also wird es auch am Ende der Welt gehen. Die Engel werden ausgehen und die Bösen von den Gerechten scheiden (aiōn g165)
50 They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” (questioned)
und werden sie in den Feuerofen werfen; da wird Heulen und Zähneklappen sein.
51 [Then Jesus asked us], “Do you understand all these [parables I have told you]?” We said to him,
Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Habt ihr das alles verstanden? Sie sprachen: Ja, HERR.
52 “Yes, [we understand them].” Then he said to us, “Because [you understand all these parables], [you will understand the following parable: You, along with] all others, will teach people what [you heard me say] about God ruling people’s lives. [You will add that to what you formerly learned. You will be] like a manager of a household who takes both new things and old things out of his storage room.”
Da sprach er: Darum, ein jeglicher Schriftgelehrter, zum Himmelreich gelehrt, ist gleich einem Hausvater, der aus seinem Schatz Neues und Altes hervorträgt.
53 When Jesus had finished [telling] these parables, he took [us] and left that [area].
Und es begab sich da Jesus diese Gleichnisse vollendet hatte, ging er von dannen
54 We went to [Nazareth, his hometown. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day]) he began to teach the people in the Jewish worship house. The result was that the people there were astonished. But [some] said, “[This man is just an ordinary person like us. So] how is it that he knows so much and understands so much [RHQ]? And how is it that he is able to do [such] miracles [RHQ]?
und kam in sein Vaterland und lehrete sie in ihren Schulen, also auch, daß sie sich entsetzten und sprachen: Woher kommt diesem solche Weisheit und Taten?
55 (He is [just] the son of the carpenter!/Isn’t he [just] the son of the carpenter [that lived here]?) [RHQ] His mother is Mary, and his younger brothers are James, Joseph, Simon and Judas [RHQ]!
Ist er nicht eines Zimmermanns Sohn? Heißt nicht seine Mutter Maria und seine Brüder Jakob und Joses und Simon und Judas?
56 (And his sisters [also live] here in our [town]./Do not his sisters [live] in our [town]?) [RHQ] So how is he able to do all these [miracles]?”
Und seine Schwestern, sind sie nicht alle bei uns? Woher kommt ihm denn das alles?
57 The people were unable to accept [that] he [was the Messiah. So] Jesus said to them, “[People] honor [me and other] prophets [everywhere else we go], but in [our] hometowns [we are] not [honored], and [even] our own families do not [honor us!]”
Und ärgerten sich an ihm. Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Ein Prophet gilt nirgend weniger denn in seinem Vaterlande und in seinem Hause.
58 Jesus did not perform many miracles there because the people did not believe [that he was the Messiah].
Und er tat daselbst nicht viel Zeichen um ihres Unglaubens willen.
