Markus 1
1 Jesu Kristi, Guds Søns, Evangeliums Begyndelse er saaledes,
([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 som der er skrevet hos Profeten Esajas: „Se, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt, han skal berede din Vej.
3 Der er en Røst af en, som raaber i Ørkenen: Bereder Herrens Vej, gører hans Stier jævne!”
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 Johannes kom, han, som døbte i Ørkenen og prædikede Omvendelses-Daab til Syndernes Forladelse.
[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 Og hele Judæas Land og alle i Jerusalem gik ud og bleve døbte af ham i Floden Jordan, idet de bekendte deres Synder.
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 Og Johannes var klædt i Kamelhaar og havde et Læderbælte om sin Lænd og spiste Græshopper og vild Honning.
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 Og han prædikede og sagde: „Efter mig kommer den, som er stærkere end jeg, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at bøje mig ned og løse.
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 Jeg har døbt eder med Vand, men han skal døbe eder med den Helligaand.”
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 Og det skete i de Dage, at Jesus kom fra Nazareth i Galilæa og blev døbt af Johannes i Jordan.
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 Og straks da han steg op af Vandet, saa han Himlene skilles ad og Aanden ligesom en Due dale ned over ham;
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 og der kom en Røst fra Himlene: „Du er min Søn, den elskede, i dig har jeg Velbehag.”
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Og straks driver Aanden ham ud i Ørkenen.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Og han var i Ørkenen fyrretyve Dage, medens han fristedes af Satan, og han var blandt Dyrene; og Englene tjente ham.
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 Men efter at Johannes var kastet i Fængsel, kom Jesus til Galilæa og prædikede Guds Evangelium
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 og sagde: „Tiden er fuldkommet, og Guds Rige er kommet nær; omvender eder og tror paa Evangeliet!”
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 Og medens han gik langs Galilæas Sø, saa han Simon og Simons Broder Andreas i Færd med at kaste Garn i Søen; thi de vare Fiskere.
[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 Og Jesus sagde til dem: „Følger efter mig, saa vil jeg gøre eder til Menneskefiskere.”
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 Og de forlode straks Garnene og fulgte ham.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Og da han gik lidt videre frem, saa han Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og hans Broder Johannes, som ogsaa vare i Færd med at bøde deres Garn i Skibet;
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 og han kaldte straks paa dem, og de forlode deres Fader Zebedæus i Skibet med Lejesvendene og gik efter ham.
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 Og de gaa ind i Kapernaum. Og straks paa Sabbaten gik han ind i Synagogen og lærte,
[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 og de bleve slagne af Forundring over hans Lære; thi han lærte dem som en, der havde Myndighed, og ikke som de skriftkloge.
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 Og der var i deres Synagoge et Menneske med en uren Aand, og han raabte højt
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 og sagde: „Hvad have vi med dig at gøre, Jesus af Nazareth? Er du kommen for at ødelægge os; jeg kender dig, hvem du er, du Guds hellige.”
“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 Og Jesus truede ham og sagde: „Ti, og far ud af ham!”
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Og den urene Aand sled i ham og raabte med høj Røst og for ud af ham.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Og de bleve alle forfærdede, saa at de spurgte hverandre og sagde: „Hvad er dette? en ny Lære med Myndighed; ogsaa over de urene Aander byder han, og de lyde ham.”
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 Og Rygtet om ham kom straks ud alle Vegne i hele det omliggende Land i Galilæa.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Og straks, da de vare gaaede ud af Synagogen, kom de ind i Simons og Andreas's Hus med Jakob og Johannes.
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 Men Simons Svigermoder laa og havde Feber, og straks tale de til ham om hende;
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 og han gik hen til hende, tog hende ved Haanden og rejste hende op, og Feberen forlod hende, og hun vartede dem op.
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 Men da det var blevet Aften, og Solen var gaaet ned, førte de til ham alle de syge og de besatte,
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.
33 og hele Byen var forsamlet foran Døren.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Og han helbredte mange, som lede af mange Haande Sygdomme, og han uddrev mange onde Aander; og han tillod ikke de onde Aander at tale, fordi de kendte ham.
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 Og om Morgenen længe før Dag stod han op og gik ud og gik hen til et øde Sted, og der bad han.
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 Og Simon og de, som vare med ham, skyndte sig efter ham.
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 Og de fandt ham, og de sige til ham: „Alle lede efter dig.”
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Og han siger til dem: „Lader os gaa andetsteds hen til de nærmeste Smaabyer, for at jeg kan prædike ogsaa der; thi dertil er jeg udgaaet.”
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 Og han kom og prædikede i deres Synagoger i hele Galilæa og uddrev de onde Aander.
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 Og en spedalsk kommer til ham, beder ham og falder paa Knæ for ham og siger til ham: „Om du vil, saa kan du rense mig.”
[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 Og han ynkedes inderligt og udrakte Haanden og rørte ved ham og siger til ham: „Jeg vil; bliv ren!”
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 Og straks forlod Spedalskheden ham, og han blev renset.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Og han drev ham straks bort, idet han bød ham strengt,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 og sagde til ham: „Se til, at du ikke siger noget til nogen herom; men gaa hen, fremstil dig selv for Præsten, og offer for din Renselse det, som Moses har befalet, til Vidnesbyrd for dem!”
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 Men da han kom ud, begyndte han at fortælle meget og udsprede Rygtet derom, saa at han ikke mere kunde gaa aabenlyst ind i en By; men han var udenfor paa øde Steder, og de kom til ham alle Vegne fra.
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.
