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].
Die Frohe Botschaft Jesu Christi wurde eingeleitet
im Einklang mit den Worten in dem Buch des Propheten Jesaja: Sieh, ich sende meinen Boten vor dir her, der dir den Weg bereiten soll.
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].”
In der Wüste ruft eine Stimme: Bereitet dem Herrn den Weg, ebnet ihm die Pfade!
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].”
Demgemäß trat Johannes der Täufer in der Wüste auf; er verkündigte eine Taufe, die von Sinnesänderung begleitet sein müsse, damit man Vergebung der Sünden empfangen könne.
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.
Da gingen zu ihm hinaus die Leute aus dem ganzen jüdischen Land und alle Bewohner Jerusalems. Die ließen sich im Jordanfluß von ihm taufen und bekannten ihre Sünden.
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 trug ein Kleid von Kamelhaaren und um seine Hüften einen Ledergurt; er nährte sich von Heuschrecken und wildem 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.
In seiner Predigt sagte er: "Nach mir kommt einer, der hat größere Gewalt als ich; ich bin nicht wert, mich zu bücken und ihm seine Schuhriemen aufzubinden.
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 nur mit Wasser getauft; er aber wird euch mit Heiligem Geist 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].
In jenen Tagen kam nun auch Jesus aus dem galiläischen Ort Nazaret und ließ sich von Johannes im Jordan taufen.
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.
In dem Augenblick, wo er aus dem Wasser wieder ans Ufer stieg, sah er, wie sich der Himmel öffnete und der Geist wie eine Taube auf ihn herniederschwebte.
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 aus dem Himmel sprach: "Du bist mein geliebter Sohn; dich habe ich erkoren."
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
Unmittelbar darauf führte ihn der Geist mit unwiderstehlicher Gewalt in die Wüste.
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.
Dort hielt er sich vierzig Tage auf und ward von dem Satan versucht. Die wilden Tiere umgaben ihn, und die Engel brachten ihm Speise.
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.
Als Johannes verhaftet war, kam Jesus nach Galiläa und verkündigte dort die Frohe Botschaft 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])!”
"Die Zeit", so sprach er, "ist erfüllt, und Gottes Königreich ist nahe herbeigekommen! Ändert euern Sinn und glaubt an die Frohe Botschaft!"
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.
Als Jesus (eines Tages) an dem Ufer des Galiläischen Sees wandelte, sah er, wie Simon und sein Bruder Andreas gerade ein Wurfnetz in dem See auswarfen; 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].
Jesus sprach zu ihnen: "Kommt und folgt mir! Ich will euch zu Menschenfischern machen."
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Da ließen sie sofort ihre Netze liegen und folgten ihm.
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.
Als er eine kleine Strecke weiterging, sah er Jakobus, den Sohn des Zebedäus, und seinen Bruder Johannes, wie sie in ihrem Boot ihre Hochseenetze in Ordnung brachten. Sogleich berief er sie.
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.
Da ließen sie ihren Vater Zebedäus mit den Lohnarbeitern im Boot und folgten ihm.
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].
Sie kamen nach Kapernaum. Gleich am nächsten Sabbat ging er in das Versammlungshaus 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.
Da staunten die Leute ob seiner Lehre. Denn er lehrte sie wie einer, der (göttliche) Vollmacht dazu hatte, 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,
Nun war in ihrem Versammlungshaus ein Mensch, der hatte einen unreinen Geist.
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!”
Der schrie plötzlich auf: "Was haben wir mit dir zu schaffen, Jesus von Nazaret? Du bist gekommen, um uns zu verderben. Wir wissen von dir, 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: "Schweig und fahr 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 zerrte der unreine Geist den Menschen hin und her und fuhr aus von ihm mit lautem Geschrei.
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]!”
Da staunten sie alle und fragten einander: "Was bedeutet das? Das ist eine neue Lehre mit (göttlicher) Vollmacht! Sogar die unreinen Geister gehorchen seinem Gebot."
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Und die Kunde von ihm verbreitete sich bald überall in jener ganzen Gegend Galiläas.
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.
Sobald sie das Versammlungshaus verlassen hatten, gingen sie, begleitet von Jakobus und Johannes, in die Wohnung des Simon und Andreas.
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].
Dort lag Simons Schwiegermutter fieberkrank darnieder. Das teilte man Jesus sofort mit.
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].
Da ging er zu ihr, ergriff sie bei der Hand und ließ sie aufstehen. Sogleich wich das Fieber von ihr, und sie wartete ihnen bei der Mahlzeit auf.
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.
Am Abend, nach Sonnenuntergang, brachte man alle Leidenden und Besessenen zu ihm.
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
Ja, die ganze Stadt war vor der Tür 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].
Er heilte viele, die an mancherlei Krankheiten litten, und trieb viele böse Geister aus. Aber er erlaubte den Geistern nicht zu reden; denn sie wußten, wer er war.
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.
Frühmorgens, als es noch ganz dunkel war, stand er auf, verließ das Haus und ging an eine einsame Stätte. Dort betete er.
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,
Simon aber und die anderen (Jünger) suchten ihn überall.
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
Als sie ihn gefunden hatten, sprachen sie zu ihm: "Alle Leute fragen nach dir."
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!”
Er antwortete ihnen: "Gehen wir doch anderswohin in die Flecken ringsum! Auch dort will ich die Heilsbotschaft verkündigen. Deshalb bin ich ja von Hause weggegangen."
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].
So predigte er in ganz Galiläa in ihren Versammlungshäusern und trieb die bösen Geister 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!”
Eines Tages nahte ihm ein Aussätziger. Der war sich vor ihm auf die Knie und flehte ihn an: "Wenn du nur 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 streckte Jesus voll Mitleid seine Hand aus, rührte ihn an und sprach: "Ich will es, werde rein!"
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Sobald er dies gesagt, wich der Aussatz von ihm, und er wurde rein.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Jesus ließ ihn sofort gehen und befahl ihm streng:
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].”
"Hüte dich, irgendwie davon zu reden! Doch geh, zeig dich dem Priester und bring für deine Reinigung das Opfer, das Mose vorgeschrieben hat, zum Zeugnis für die Leute."
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.
Kaum aber war der Mann hinausgegangen, so begann er jedem von seiner Heilung zu erzählen. Ja er machte den Vorfall so bekannt, daß Jesus nicht mehr öffentlich in einer Stadt erscheinen konnte. Er hielt sich vielmehr draußen an unbewohnten Orten auf. Aber auch dorthin strömten die Leute von allen Seiten zu ihm.
