Sirach 33

Von diesem Buch gibt es keine gemeinfreie Ausgabe in deiner Sprache, daher wird dieser Abschnitt auf Englisch angezeigt.

There shall no evil happen to him that fears the Lord; But in temptation once and again will he deliver him. A wise man will not hate the law; But he that is a hypocrite therein is as a ship in a storm. A man of understanding will put his trust in the law; And the law is faithful to him, as when one asks at the oracle. Prepare your speech, and so shall you be heard; Bind up instruction, and make your answer. The heart of a fool is as a cartwheel; And his thoughts like a rolling axle tree. A stallion horse is as a mocking friend; He neighs under every one that sits upon him. Why does one day excel another, When all the light of every day in the year is of the sun? By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished; And he varied seasons and feasts: Some of them he exalted and hallowed, And some of them has he made ordinary days. And all men are from the ground, And Adam was created of earth. In the abundance of his knowledge the Lord distinguished them, And made their ways various: Some of them he blessed and exalted, And some of them he hallowed and brought near to himself: Some of them he cursed and brought low, And overthrew them from their place. As the clay of the potter in his hand, All his ways are according to his good pleasure; So men are in the hand of him that made them, To render to them according to his judgement. Good is the opposite of evil, And life is the opposite of death: So is the sinner is the opposite of the godly. And thus look upon all the works of the Most High; Two and two, one against another. And I waked up last, As one that gleans after the grape gatherers: By the blessing of the Lord I got before them, And filled my winepress as one that gathers grapes. Consider that I laboured not for myself alone, But for all those who seek instruction. Hear me, you⌃ great men of the people, And hearken with your ears, you⌃ rulers of the congregation. To son and wife, to brother and friend, Give not power over you while you live; And give not your goods to another, Lest you repent and make supplication for them again. Whilst you yet live, and breath is in you, Give not yourself over to anybody. For better it is that your children should supplicate you, Than that you should look to the hand of your sons. In all your works keep the upper hand; Bring not a stain on your honor. In the day that you endest the days of your life, And in the time of death, distribute your inheritance. Fodder, a stick, and burdens, for an ass; Bread, and discipline, and work, for a servant. Set your servant to work, and you shall find rest: Leave his hands idle, and he will seek liberty. Yoke and thong will bow the neck: And for an evil servant there are racks and tortures. Send him to labor, that he be not idle; For idleness teaches much mischief. Set him to work, as is fit for him; And if he obey not, make his fetters heavy. And be not excessive toward any; And without judgement do nothing. If you have a servant, let him be as yourself, Because you have bought him with blood. If you have a servant, treat him as yourself; For as your own soul will you have need of him: If you treat him ill, and he depart and run away, Which way will you go to seek him?

Johannes 2

Und am dritten Tage ward eine Hochzeitzu Kana in Galilaa; und die Mutter Jesu war da. Jesus aber und seine Junger wurden auch auf die Hochzeit geladen. Und da es an Wein gebrach, spricht die Mutter Jesu zu ihm: Sie haben nicht Wein. Jesus spricht zu ihr: Weib, was habe ich mit dir zu schaffen? Meine Stunde ist noch nicht kommen. Seine Mutter spricht zu den Dienern: Was er euch saget, das tut. Es waren aber allda sechs steinerne Wasserkruge gesetzt nach der Weise der judischen Reinigung, und gingen in je einen zwei Oder drei Mali. Jesus spricht zu ihnen: Fullet die Wasserkruge mit Wasser. Und sie fulleten sie bis obenan. Und er spricht zu ihnen: Schopfet nun und bringet's dem Speisemeister. Und sie brachten's. Als aber der Speisemeister kostete den Wein, der Wasser gewesen war, und wußte nicht, von wannen er kam (die Diener aber wußten's, die das Wasser geschopft hatten), rufet der Speisemeister den Brautigam und spricht zu ihm: Jedermann gibtzum ersten guten Wein, und wenn sie trunken worden sind, alsdann den geringern; du hast den guten Wein bisher behalten. Das ist das erste Zeichen, das Jesus tat, geschehen zu Kana in Galilaa und offenbarte seine Herrlichkeit. Und seine Junger glaubten an ihn. Danach zog er hinab gen Kapernaum, er, seine Mutter, seine Bruder und seine Junger, und blieben nicht lange daselbst. Undder Juden Osternwarnahe. Und Jesus zog hinauf gen Jerusalem und fand im Tempel sitzen, die da Ochsen, Schafe und Tauben feil hatten, und die Wechsler. Und er machte eine Geißel aus Stricken und trieb sie alle zum Tempel hinaus samt den Schafen und Ochsen und verschuttete den Wechslern das Geld und stieß die Tische urn. Und sprach zu denen, die die Tauben feil hatten: Traget das von dannen und machet nicht meines Vaters Haus zum Kaufhause! Seine Junger aber gedachten daran, daß geschrieben stehet: Der Eifer urn dein Haus hat mich gefressen. Da antworteten nun die Juden und sprachen zu ihm: Was zeigst du uns fur ein Zeichen, daß du solches tun mogest? Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Brechet diesen Tempel, und am dritten Tage will ich ihn aufrichten. Da sprachen die Juden: Dieser Tempel ist in sechsundvierzig Jahren erbauet, und du willst ihn in dreien Tagen aufrichten? Er aber redete von dem Tempel seines Leibes. Da er nun auferstanden war von den Toten, gedachten seine Junger daran, daß er dies gesagt hatte, und glaubten der Schrift und der Rede, die Jesus gesagt hatte. Als er aber zu Jerusalem war in den Ostern auf dem Fest, glaubten viele an seinen Namen, da sie die Zeichen sahen, die ertat. Aber Jesus vertrauete sich ihnen nicht; denn er kannte sie alle und bedurfte nicht, daß jemand Zeugnis gabe von einem Menschen; denn erwußte wohl, was im Menschen war.

Sirach 34

Von diesem Buch gibt es keine gemeinfreie Ausgabe in deiner Sprache, daher wird dieser Abschnitt auf Englisch angezeigt.

Vain and false hopes are for a man void of understanding; And dreams give wings to fools. As one that catches at a shadow, and follows after the wind, So is he that sets his mind on dreams. The vision of dreams is as this thing against that, The likeness of a face near a face. Of an unclean thing what shall be cleansed? And of that which is false what shall be true? Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain: And the heart fancies, as a woman’s in travail. If they be not sent from the Most High in your visitation, Give not your heart to them. For dreams have led many astray: And they have failed by putting their hope in them. Without lying shall the law be accomplished; And wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth. A well-instructed man knows many things; And he that has much experience will declare understanding. He that has no experience knows few things: But he that has wandered shall increase his skill. In my wandering I have seen many things; And more than my words is my understanding. Ofttimes was I in danger even to death; And I was preserved because of these things. The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; For their hope is upon him that saves them. Whoso fears the Lord shall not be afraid, and shall not play the coward; For he is his hope. Blessed is the soul of him that fears the Lord: To whom does he give heed? and who is his stay? The eyes of the Lord are upon those who love him, A mighty protection and strong stay, A cover from the hot blast, and a cover from the noonday, A guard from stumbling, and a succour from falling. He raises up the soul, and enlighteneth the eyes: He gives healing, life, and blessing. He that sacrifices of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is made in mockery; And the mockeries of wicked men are not well-pleasing. The Most High has no pleasure in the offerings of the ungodly; Neither is he pacified for sins by the multitude of sacrifices. As one that kills the son before his father’s eyes Is he that brings a sacrifice from the goods of the poor. The bread of the needy is the life of the poor: He that depriveth him thereof is a man of blood. As one that slays his neighbor is he that takes away his living; And as a shedder of blood is he that depriveth a hireling of his hire. One building, and another pulling down, What profit have they had but toil? One praying, and another cursing, Whose voice will the Lord listen to? He that washes himself after touching a dead body, and touches it again, What profit has he in his washing? Even so a man fasting for his sins, And going again, and doing the same; Who will listen to his prayer? And what profit has he in his humiliation?

2. Thessalonicher 1

Paulus und Silvanus und Timotheus: Der Gemeinde zu Thessalonich in Gott, unserm Vater, und dem Herm Jesu Christo. Gnade sei mit euch und Friede von Gott, unserm Vater, und dem Herm Jesu Christo! Wir sollen Gott danken allezeit um euch, liebe Bruder, wie es billig ist. Denn euer Glaube wachset sehr, und die Liebe eines jeglichen unter euch alien nimmt zu gegeneinander, also daß wir uns euer ruhmen unter den Gemeinden Gottes von eurer Geduld und Glauben in alien euren Verfolqunqen und Trubsalen, die ihr duldet, welches anzeiget, daß Gott recht richten wird, und ihr wurdig werdet zum Reich Gottes, uber welchem ihr auch leidet, nachdem es recht ist bei Gott, zu vergelten Trubsal denen, die euch Trubsal anlegen, euch aber, die ihr Trubsal leidet, Ruhe mit uns, wenn nun der Herr Jesus wird offenbart werden vom Himmel samt den Engeln seiner Kraft und mit Feuerflammen, Rache zu geben uber die, so Gott nicht erkennen, und uber die, so nicht gehorsam sind dem Evangelium unsers Herm Jesu Christi; welche werden Pein leiden, das ewige Verderben, von dem Angesichte des Herm und von seiner herrlichen Macht, wenn er kommen wird, daß er herrlich erscheine mit seinen Heiligen und wunderbar mit alien Glaubigen. Denn unser Zeugnis an euch von demselbigen Tage habt ihrgeglaubet. Und derhalben beten wir auch allezeit fur euch, daß unser Gott euch wurdig mache der Berufung und erfulle alles Wohlgefallen der Güte und das Werk des Glaubens in der Kraft, auf daß an euch gepreiset werde der Name unsers Herm Jesu Christi und ihr an ihm nach der Gnade unsers Gottes und des Herm Jesu Christi.
