Mark 1
1 ([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].
Anfang des Evangeliums von Jesus Christus, dem Sohne Gottes.
Wie geschrieben steht in Jesaja, dem Propheten: «Siehe, ich sende meinen Boten vor deinem Angesicht her, der deinen Weg bereiten wird.
3 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].”
Eine Stimme ruft in der Wüste: Bereitet den Weg des Herrn, machet seine Pfade eben!»
4 [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].”
So begann Johannes in der Wüste, taufte und predigte eine Taufe der Buße zur Vergebung der Sünden.
5 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.
Und es ging zu ihm hinaus das ganze jüdische Land und alle Bewohner von Jerusalem, und sie wurden im Jordan von ihm getauft, wenn sie ihre Sünden bekannten.
6 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.
Johannes aber war bekleidet mit Kamelhaaren und trug einen ledernen Gürtel um seine Lenden und aß Heuschrecken und wilden Honig.
7 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.
Und er predigte und sprach: Es kommt einer nach mir, der stärker ist als ich, für den ich nicht gut genug bin, gebückt seinen Schuhriemen aufzulösen.
8 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].”
Ich habe euch mit Wasser getauft; er aber wird euch mit heiligem Geiste taufen.
9 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].
Und es begab sich in jenen Tagen, daß Jesus von Nazareth in Galiläa kam und sich von Johannes im Jordan taufen ließ.
10 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.
Und alsbald, da er aus dem Wasser stieg, sah er die Himmel zerrissen und den Geist gleich einer Taube auf ihn herabsteigen.
11 And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
Und eine Stimme erscholl aus dem Himmel: Du bist mein geliebter Sohn, an dir habe ich Wohlgefallen gefunden!
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
Und alsbald treibt ihn der Geist in die Wüste hinaus.
13 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.
Und er war in der Wüste vierzig Tage und wurde vom Satan versucht; und er war bei den Tieren, und die Engel dienten ihm.
14 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.
Nachdem aber Johannes überantwortet worden war, kam Jesus nach Galiläa und predigte das Evangelium vom Reiche Gottes
15 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])!”
und sprach: Die Zeit ist erfüllt, und das Reich Gottes ist nahe: Tut Buße und glaubet an das Evangelium!
16 [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.
Und als er am galiläischen Meere wandelte, sah er Simon und dessen Bruder Andreas; die warfen das Netz aus im Meer; denn sie waren Fischer.
17 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].
Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Folget mir nach, so will ich euch zu Menschenfischern machen!
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Da verließen sie alsbald ihre Netze und folgten ihm nach.
19 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.
Und als er von da ein wenig weiter ging, sah er Jakobus, des Zebedäus Sohn, und seinen Bruder Johannes, welche auch im Schiffe die Netze bereitmachten.
20 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.
Und alsbald berief er sie; und sie ließen ihren Vater Zebedäus samt den Taglöhnern im Schiff und folgten ihm nach.
21 [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].
Und sie begaben sich nach Kapernaum; und er trat alsbald am Sabbat in die Synagoge und lehrte.
22 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.
Und sie erstaunten über seine Lehre; denn er lehrte sie wie einer, der Vollmacht hat, und nicht wie die Schriftgelehrten.
23 Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
Und alsbald war in ihrer Synagoge ein Mensch mit einem unreinen Geiste, der schrie
24 “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!”
und sprach: Was haben wir mit dir zu schaffen, Jesus von Nazareth? Bist du gekommen uns zu verderben? Ich weiß, wer du bist: der Heilige Gottes!
25 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
Aber Jesus bedrohte ihn und sprach: Verstumme und fahre aus von ihm!
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
Da riß der unreine Geist ihn hin und her, schrie mit lauter Stimme und fuhr von ihm aus.
27 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]!”
Und sie erstaunten alle, so daß sie sich untereinander befragten, und sprachen: Was ist das? Eine neue Lehre! Mit Vollmacht gebietet er auch den unreinen Geistern, und sie gehorchen ihm.
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Und das Gerücht von ihm verbreitete sich alsbald in die ganze umliegende Landschaft von Galiläa.
29 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.
Und alsbald verließen sie die Synagoge und gingen in das Haus des Simon und Andreas, mit Jakobus und Johannes.
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
Simons Schwiegermutter aber lag krank am Fieber darnieder, und alsbald sagten sie ihm von ihr.
31 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].
Und er trat hinzu, ergriff ihre Hand und richtete sie auf; und das Fieber verließ sie alsbald, und sie diente ihnen.
32 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.
Als es aber Abend geworden und die Sonne untergegangen war, brachten sie zu ihm alle Kranken und Besessenen.
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
Und die ganze Stadt war vor der Türe versammelt.
34 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].
Und er heilte viele, die an mancherlei Krankheiten litten, und trieb viele Dämonen aus und ließ die Dämonen nicht reden, denn sie kannten ihn.
35 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.
Und am Morgen, als es noch sehr dunkel war, stand er auf, ging hinaus an einen einsamen Ort und betete daselbst.
36 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,
Und Simon eilte ihm nach, samt denen, die bei ihm waren;
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
und als sie ihn gefunden, sprachen sie zu ihm: Jedermann sucht dich!
38 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!”
Und er spricht zu ihnen: Laßt uns anderswohin, in die nächsten Flecken gehen, damit ich auch dort predige; denn dazu bin ich ausgegangen.
39 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].
Und er ging und predigte in ganz Galiläa in ihren Synagogen und trieb die Dämonen aus.
40 [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!”
Und es kam ein Aussätziger zu ihm, bat ihn, fiel vor ihm auf die Knie und sprach: Wenn du willst, kannst du mich reinigen!
41 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]!”
Da erbarmte sich Jesus seiner, streckte die Hand aus, rührte ihn an und sprach zu ihm: Ich will; sei gereinigt!
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Und während er redete, wich der Aussatz alsbald von ihm, und er wurde rein.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Und er bedrohte ihn und schickte ihn alsbald fort
44 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].”
und sprach zu ihm: Siehe zu, sage es niemand; sondern gehe hin, zeige dich dem Priester und opfere für deine Reinigung, was Mose befohlen hat, ihnen zum Zeugnis!
45 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.
Er aber ging und fing an, es vielfach zu verkündigen und breitete die Sache überall aus, so daß Jesus nicht mehr öffentlich in eine Stadt hineingehen konnte, sondern er war draußen an einsamen Orten; und sie kamen von allen Seiten zu ihm.
