Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
Da ward Jesus vom Geist in die Wüste geführt, auf daß er von dem Teufel versucht würde.
2 After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
Und da er vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte gefastet hatte, hungerte ihn.
3 [Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
Und der Versucher trat zu ihm und sprach: Bist du Gottes Sohn, so sprich, daß diese Steine Brot werden.
4 But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
Und er antwortete und sprach: Es stehet geschrieben: Der Mensch lebet nicht vom Brot alleine, sondern von einem jeglichen Wort, das durch den Mund Gottes gehet.
5 Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
Da führete ihn der Teufel mit sich in die heilige Stadt und stellete ihn auf die Zinne des Tempels
6 and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
und sprach zu ihm: Bist du Gottes Sohn, so laß dich hinab; denn es stehet geschrieben: Er wird seinen Engeln über dir Befehl tun, und sie werden dich auf den Händen tragen, auf daß du deinen Fuß nicht an einen Stein stoßest.
7 But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
Da sprach Jesus zu ihm: Wiederum stehet auch geschrieben: Du sollst Gott, deinen HERRN, nicht versuchen.
8 Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
Wiederum führete ihn der Teufel mit sich auf einen sehr hohen Berg und zeigete ihm alle Reiche der Welt und ihre HERRLIchkeit
9 And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
und sprach zu ihm: Das alles will ich dir geben, so du niederfällst und mich anbetest.
10 But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
Da sprach Jesus zu ihm: Heb' dich weg von mir, Satan! Denn es stehet geschrieben: Du sollst anbeten Gott, deinen HERRN, und ihm allein dienen.
11 Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
Da verließ ihn der Teufel; und siehe, da traten die Engel zu ihm und dieneten ihm.
12 [While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
Da nun Jesus hörete, daß Johannes überantwortet war, zog er in das galiläische Land.
13 Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
und verließ die Stadt Nazareth, kam und wohnete zu Kapernaum, die da liegt am Meer, an den Grenzen Zabulons und Nephthalims,
14 [One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
auf daß erfüllet würde, was da gesagt ist durch den Propheten Jesaja, der da spricht:
15 “Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
Das Land Zabulon und das Land Nephtalim am Wege des Meers, jenseit des Jordans, und das heidnische Galiläa,
16 [Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
das Volk, das in Finsternis saß, hat ein großes Licht gesehen, und die da saßen am Ort und Schatten des Todes, denen ist ein Licht aufgegangen.
17 From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
Von der Zeit an fing Jesus an zu predigen und zu sagen: Tut Buße; das Himmelreich ist nahe herbeikommen!
18 [One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
Als nun Jesus an dem Galiläischen Meer ging, sah er zwei Brüder, Simon, der da heißt Petrus, und Andreas, seinen Bruder, die warfen ihre Netze ins Meer; denn sie waren Fischer.
19 He said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will teach you how to gather people [to become my disciples].” [MET]
Und er sprach zu ihnen: Folget mir nach; sich will euch zu Menschenfischern machen.
20 They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
Bald verließen sie ihre Netze und folgeten ihm nach.
21 As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
Und da er von dannen fürbaß ging, sah er zwei andere Brüder, Jakobus, den Sohn des Zebedäus, und Johannes, seinen Bruder, im Schiff, mit ihrem Vater Zebedäus, daß sie ihre Netze flickten; und er rief sie.
22 They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
Bald verließen sie das Schiff und ihren Vater und folgten ihm nach.
23 Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
Und Jesus ging umher im ganzen galiläischen Lande, lehrete in ihren Schulen und predigte das Evangelium von dem Reich und heilete allerlei Seuche und Krankheit im Volk.
24 When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
Und sein Gerücht erscholl in das ganze Syrienland. Und sie brachten zu ihm allerlei Kranke, mit mancherlei Seuchen und Qual behaftet, die Besessenen die Mondsüchtigen und die Gichtbrüchigen; und er machte sie alle gesund.
25 Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
Und es folgete ihm nach viel Volks aus Galiläa, aus den zehn Städten, von Jerusalem, aus dem jüdischen Lande und von jenseit des Jordans.
