Marek 1
1 Zde začíná radostná zpráva o podivuhodném životě Ježíše Krista, Božího Syna.
([This is/I want to tell you]) the good message about Jesus Christ, the Son of God (OR, the man who was also God). [What I want to tell you] begins just like the prophet Isaiah [said it would begin, when] he wrote [these words that God said to Jesus: ] Listen! I am sending my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare [people for] your [coming].
2 Již prostřednictvím dávného proroka Izajáše Bůh promluvil tak, jako by mluvil přímo ke svému Synovi: „Pošlu před tebou zvláštního posla, který připraví svět na tvůj příchod.
3 V době duchovně pusté bude volat: ‚Přichází k vám Bůh! Napravte svůj život, odložte všechno, co mu stojí v cestě!‘“
He will call out to people [who pass by where he is] in the desolate area, “As people improve and straighten out pathways [before an important official arrives] [MET], make [yourselves] ready [DOU] [in order that you will be prepared when] the Lord [comes].”
4 Tím poslem byl Jan Křtitel. Žil na poušti a vybízel lidi, aby od něho přijali křest a dali tak najevo, že se veřejně přiznávají ke svým proviněním, že jich litují a touží, aby jim Bůh odpustil.
[The messenger that Isaiah predicted was] John. [People called him] ‘The Baptizer’. In the desolate area near the Jordan River he kept telling people, “If you want God to forgive you for having sinned, you must turn away from your sinful behavior [before you ask me to] baptize [you].”
5 Lidé z Jeruzaléma a z celého Judska přicházeli, aby mu naslouchali, a když vyznali své viny, Jan je pokřtil v řece Jordánu.
A great number [HYP] of people who lived in Jerusalem [city] and [elsewhere] in the Judea [district] were going out to where John was. There, [after hearing John’s message], they [responded by] confessing the sinful things [that they had done]. Then they were being baptized by John {John was baptizing them} in the Jordan River.
6 Jan nosil oděv z velbloudí srsti přepásaný pásem a živil se kobylkami a medem divokých včel.
John wore [rough] clothes made of camel’s hair. And [as the prophet Elijah had done], he wore a leather belt around his waist; and what he ate was [only] grasshoppers and honey [that he found] in that desolate area.
7 Ve svých kázáních stále zdůraz-ňoval: „Záhy po mně přijde někdo daleko mocnější, než jsem já; bude tak vznešený, že nejsem hoden ani jako otrok rozvázat řemínek jeho obuvi.
He was preaching, “Very shortly a man will come who is very great. I [am nothing compared to him. Because he is so superior to me], I am not even worthy to [serve him like a slave] by stooping down and untying his sandals.
8 Já jsem vás křtil vodou, ale on vás bude křtít Duchem svatým.“
I used [only] water when I baptized you [because you said that you wanted to change your lives], but he will put his Holy Spirit [within] you [to truly change your lives].”
9 Jednoho dne přišel Ježíš z galilejského Nazaretu k Janovi a dal se od něho v Jordánu pokřtít.
During that time [when John was preaching], Jesus came from Nazareth [town], which is in Galilee [district]. He went to [where John was preaching] and he was baptized by John {John baptized him} in the Jordan [River].
10 Ve chvíli, kdy vystupoval z vody na břeh, viděl, jak se obloha rozevřela a na jeho hlavu se snesl Boží Duch v podobě holubice.
Immediately after [Jesus] came up out of the water, he saw heaven opened up [and he saw] the Spirit [of God] descending on himself. He came in the form of a dove.
11 Současně z nebe promluvil hlas: „Ty jsi můj milovaný Syn, z tebe mám radost.“
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Hned nato Boží Duch vnukl Ježíšovi, aby odešel na poušť do samoty.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Šel tedy a čtyřicet dní tam strávil sám mezi divokou zvěří, vystaven satanovu pokoušení; potom přišli andělé a pečovali o něho.
He was there for 40 days. During that time, he was tempted by Satan {Satan tempted him}. There were wild animals [there] also. But angels took care of him.
14 Později, když král Herodes uvěznil Jana Křtitele, vydal se Ježíš do Galileje a hlásal tam radostné poselství od Boha:
Later, after John was put in prison {after [soldiers] put John in prison} [because he had rebuked the governor Herod Antipas for his sins], Jesus went to Galilee [district]. There he was preaching the good message [that came] from God.
15 „Konečně přišel čas a přiblížilo se Boží království. Přestaňte myslet jen na pozemské věci, změňte svůj život a uvěřte tomu, co vám Bůh vzkazuje!“
He was repeatedly saying, “Now is the time when God will begin to rule people’s lives [in a new way]. [So] turn away from your sinful behavior! Believe the good message [in order] ([to belong to him/to become those whose lives he will rule])!”
16 Jednoho dne šel Ježíš po břehu Galilejského jezera a uviděl Šimona a jeho bratra Ondřeje, jak vrhají do vody síť; byli totiž rybáři.
[One day], while Jesus was walking along by Galilee Lake, he saw [two men], Simon and Simon’s [younger] brother, Andrew. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake. They [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
17 Ježíš na ně zavolal: „Pojďte za mnou! Udělám z vás jiné rybáře, budete lovit lidi!“
Then Jesus 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].
18 Ti dva všeho nechali a šli s ním.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 O něco dále pak spatřil jiné dva rybáře – Jakuba a Jana Zebedeovy. Seděli v lodi a opravovali potrhané sítě.
After they had gone on a little further, Jesus saw [two other men], James and James’ [younger] brother, John. They were the sons of [a man named] Zebedee. They were both in a boat mending [fishing] nets.
20 I ty Ježíš vyzval. Oba bratři se okamžitě zvedli, opustili svého otce a najaté pomocníky a vykročili za Ježíšem.
As soon as Jesus saw them, he told them that [they should leave their work and to come with him]. So they left their father, [who remained] in the boat with the hired servants, and they went away with Jesus.
21 Tak přišli společně do města jménem Kafarnaum; v sobotu navštívili tamější synagogu, ve které se židé scházeli ke společným modlitbám, ke čtení i výkladu Písma. Ježíš tam začal kázat a
[Later] Jesus [and those disciples] arrived at Capernaum [town]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish rest day), after Jesus had entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), he began teaching [the people who had gathered there].
22 posluchači žasli, protože mluvil s nezvyklou přesvědčivostí. Bylo to úplně něco jiného, než co dosud slýchali od učitelů zákona.
They were continually amazed at the way he taught. [He did] not [just teach what others had taught], like the men who teach the [Jewish] laws did. [They habitually just repeated what other people had taught]. Instead, he taught with [his own] authority.
23 Byl tam také jeden muž posedlý démonem a ten začal vykřikovat:
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 „Co je ti po nás, Ježíši Nazaretský? Chceš nás snad zničit? Vím dobře, že jsi svatý Boží Syn!“
“Jesus, from Nazareth [town, since] we [evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, ([do not interfere with us]!/what do you want with us [evil spirits]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now]!/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. I know that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
25 Ježíš ho rázně okřikl: „Už ani slovo! Vyjdi z něho ven!“
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Posedlý se ještě chvíli zmítal a křičel, než ho démon opustil.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Lidé byli ohromeni a začali se dohadovat: „Co to je? Nové učení? Odkud bere takovou moc? Vždyť i zlým duchům poroučí a oni ho poslouchají!“
All [the people who were there] were amazed. As a result, they discussed this among themselves, [exclaiming], “(This is [amazing]!/What is this?) [RHQ] Not only does he teach in a new and authoritative way, but also the evil spirits obey him [when] he commands [them]!”
28 A zpráva o tom, co Ježíš učinil, se rychle roznesla po celém kraji.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Když pak Ježíš opustil synagogu, vydal se s Jakubem a Janem do Šimonova a Ondřejova domu.
After they left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), [Jesus, Simon and Andrew], along with James and John went directly to Simon and Andrew’s house.
30 Šimonova tchyně právě ležela v horečkách na lůžku, tak o tom pověděli Ježíšovi.
Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
31 Ten k ní přistoupil, vzal ji za ruku a pomohl jí, aby si sedla. Horečka hned přestala, žena vstala a začala se starat o hosty.
He went to her, and helped her up by taking hold of her hand. She recovered [at once] from the fever, and then she [got up and] served them [some food].
32 Jakmile slunce zmizelo za obzorem (a skončil sobotní klid), sešli se lidé z celého města u Šimonova domu. Přivedli s sebou nemocné a posedlé.
That evening, after the sun had gone down [and restrictions about travel on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [were ended], some people brought to Jesus many people who were sick and others whose lives evil spirits were controlling.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Toho večera uzdravil Ježíš mnoho lidí a z velkého množství posedlých vyhnal démony. Těm však nedovolil mluvit, protože věděli, že je Mesiáš – svatý Boží Syn.
Jesus healed many people who were ill with various diseases. He also expelled many demons [from people]. He did not allow the demons to tell people [about him], because they knew that he [had come from God, and for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
35 Příští ráno vstal Ježíš ještě před svítáním a odešel na osamělé místo, kde se mohl v klidu modlit.
Jesus got up very early [the next morning] while it was still dark. He left [the house] and went away [from the town] to a place where there were no people. Then he prayed there.
36 O něco později jej Šimon se svými druhy začali hledat.
Simon and his companions searched for him. When they found him, [wanting him to go back to town to help other people], they said to him,
37 Když ho našli, řekli mu: „Každý se ptá jenom po tobě!“
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Ježíš jim však pověděl: „Musím jít také do jiných měst, abych i tam oznámil své poselství. Vždyť proto jsem přišel.“
He said to them, “[No], let’s go on to the neighboring towns in order that I can preach there also, because the reason that I came [into the world] was to [preach to people] in many places!”
39 A tak procházel celou galilejskou zemí, kázal v synagogách a mnohé vysvobozoval z moci démonů.
So they went throughout Galilee [district. As they did so, each (Sabbath/Jewish rest day]) he preached in (synagogues/Jewish meeting places). He was also expelling evil spirits [from people].
40 Jednou za ním přišel člověk postižený malomocenstvím a na kolenou ho prosil: „Pane, vím, že mne můžeš uzdravit, když budeš chtít.“
[One day] a man who had [a bad skin disease called] leprosy came to Jesus. He knelt down in front of Jesus and then he pleaded with him saying, “[Please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you want to!”
41 Ježíš, pohnut soucitem, vztáhl ruku, dotkl se ho a řekl: „Chci, abys byl zdráv.“
Jesus felt very sorry for him. [So he ignored the religious laws about coming close to people who had that disease]. He reached out his hand and touched the man. Then he said to him, “Since I am willing [to heal you], be healed {I heal you} [now]!”
42 V tu chvíli malomocenství zmizelo a muž byl uzdraven.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Ježíš mu však přísně nařídil: „Jdi a dej si své uzdravení ověřit knězem. Cestou se však nikde nezastavuj a s nikým nemluv. Vezmi s sebou obětní dar, jak to uzdraveným z malomocenství předepsal Mojžíš, aby se všichni přesvědčili, že jsi očištěn.“
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
What Jesus said was, “Go to a local priest and show yourself to him [in order that he may examine you and verify that you are healed]. Then, [after the priest tells the local people], they will know [that you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that you do not tell others [about what happened] Then go to [Jerusalem and take to the priest what Moses commanded that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer, in order that he] may offer it [as a sacrifice to God].”
45 Muž odešel, ale nevydržel mlčet. Každému na potkání radostně vyprávěl, že je uzdraven. A tak Ježíš nemohl veřejně vstoupit do žádného města a zůstával venku na osamělých místech. I tam se však za ním ze všech stran táhly zástupy lidí.
The man went [and presented himself to the priest. But then] he began to tell many people about [how Jesus had healed him] [DOU]. As a result, Jesus was no longer able to enter any town publicly [because the crowds would surround him]. Instead, he remained outside [the towns] in places [where no people lived]. But people kept coming to him from all over that region.
