Matthew 9
1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
Da trat er in das Schiff und fuhr wieder herüber und kam in seine Stadt.
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
Und siehe, da brachten sie zu ihm einen Gichtbrüchigen, der lag auf einem Bette. Da nun Jesus ihren Glauben sah, sprach er zu dem Gichtbrüchigen: Sei getrost, mein Sohn; deine Sünden sind dir vergeben.
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
Und siehe, etliche unter den Schriftgelehrten sprachen bei sich selbst: Dieser lästert Gott.
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
Da aber Jesus ihre Gedanken sah, sprach er: Warum denket ihr so Arges in euren Herzen?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
Welches ist leichter zu sagen: Dir sind deine Sünden vergeben, oder zu sagen: Stehe auf und wandele?
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
Auf daß ihr aber wisset, daß des Menschen Sohn Macht habe auf Erden, die Sünden zu vergeben, sprach er zu dem Gichtbrüchigen: Stehe auf, heb' dein Bett auf und gehe heim!
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
Und er stund auf und ging heim.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
Da das Volk das sah, verwunderte es sich und preisete Gott, der solche Macht den Menschen gegeben hat.
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
Und da Jesus von dannen ging, sah er einen Menschen am Zoll sitzen, der hieß Matthäus, und sprach zu ihm: Folge mir! Und er stund auf und folgete ihm.
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
Und es begab sich, da er zu Tische saß im Hause, siehe, da kamen viel Zöllner und Sünder und saßen zu Tische mit Jesu und seinen Jüngern.
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Da das die Pharisäer sahen, sprachen sie zu seinen Jüngern: Warum isset euer Meister mit den Zöllnern und Sündern?
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
Da das Jesus hörete, sprach er zu ihnen: Die Starken bedürfen des Arztes nicht, sondern die Kranken.
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
Gehet aber hin und lernet, was das sei: Ich habe Wohlgefallen an Barmherzigkeit und nicht am Opfer. Ich bin kommen, die Sünder zur Buße zu rufen und nicht die Frommen.
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
Indes kamen die Jünger Johannes zu ihm und sprachen: Warum fasten wir und die Pharisäer so viel, und deine Jünger fasten nicht?
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Wie können die Hochzeitleute Leid tragen, solange der Bräutigam bei ihnen ist? Es wird aber die Zeit kommen, daß der Bräutigam von ihnen genommen wird; alsdann werden sie fasten.
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
Niemand flickt ein alt Kleid mit einem Lappen von neuem Tuch; denn der Lappen reißet doch wieder vom Kleid, und der Riß wird ärger.
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
Man fasset auch nicht Most in alte Schläuche; anders die Schläuche zerreißen, und der Most wird verschüttet, und die Schläuche kommen um. Sondern man fasset Most in neue Schläuche, so werden sie beide miteinander behalten.
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
Da er solches mit ihnen redete, siehe, da kam der Obersten einer und fiel vor ihm nieder und sprach: HERR, meine Tochter ist jetzt gestorben; aber komm und lege deine Hand auf sie, so wird sie lebendig.
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
Und Jesus stund auf und folgete ihm nach und seine Jünger.
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
Und siehe, ein Weib, das zwölf Jahre den Blutgang gehabt, trat von hinten zu ihm und rührete seines Kleides Saum an.
Denn sie sprach bei sich selbst: Möcht' ich nur sein Kleid anrühren, so würde ich gesund.
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
Da wandte sich Jesus um und sah sie und sprach: Sei getrost, meine Tochter; dein Glaube hat dir geholfen. Und das Weib ward gesund zu derselbigen Stunde.
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
Und als er in des Obersten Haus kam und sah die Pfeifer und das Getümmel des Volks,
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
sprach er zu ihnen: Weichet! denn das Mägdlein ist nicht tot, sondern es schläft. Und sie verlachten ihn.
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
Als aber das Volk ausgetrieben war, ging er hinein und ergriff sie bei der Hand. Da stund das Mägdlein auf.
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
Und dies Gerücht erscholl in dasselbige ganze Land.
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
Und da Jesus von dannen fürbaß ging, folgeten ihm zwei Blinde nach, die schrieen und sprachen: Ach, du Sohn Davids, erbarme dich unser!
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
Und da er heimkam, traten die Blinden zu ihm. Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Glaubet ihr, daß ich euch solches tun kann? Da sprachen sie zu ihm: HERR, ja.
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
Da rührete er ihre Augen an und sprach: Euch geschehe nach eurem Glauben.
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
Und ihre Augen wurden geöffnet. Und Jesus bedräuete sie und sprach: Sehet zu, daß es niemand erfahre!
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
Aber sie gingen aus und machten ihn ruchbar im selbigen ganzen Lande.
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
Da nun diese waren hinauskommen, siehe, da brachten sie zu ihm einen Menschen, der war stumm und besessen.
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
Und da der Teufel war ausgetrieben, redete der Stumme. Und das Volk verwunderte sich und sprach: Solches ist noch nie in Israel gesehen worden.
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
Aber die Pharisäer sprachen: Er treibt die Teufel aus durch der Teufel Obersten.
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
Und Jesus ging umher in alle Städte und Märkte, lehrete in ihren Schulen und predigte das Evangelium von dem Reich und heilete allerlei Seuche und allerlei Krankheit im Volke.
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
Und da er das Volk sah, jammerte ihn desselbigen; denn sie waren verschmachtet und zerstreuet wie die Schafe, die keinen Hirten haben.
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
Da sprach er zu seinen Jüngern: Die Ernte ist groß; aber wenig sind der Arbeiter.
38 So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
Darum bittet den HERRN der Ernte, daß er Arbeiter in seine Ernte sende!
