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 der frohen Botschaft von Jesus Christus, dem Sohne Gottes.
So, wie geschrieben steht bei dem Propheten Isaias: "Siehe, ich sende meinen Engel 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].”
Eine Stimme ruft in der Steppe: 'Richtet her den Weg des Herrn, macht 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].”
Johannes trat in der Steppe auf, taufte und verkündete die Taufe der Bekehrung zur Nachlassung 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.
Das ganze Land Judäa zog zu ihm hinaus, sowie alle Bewohner Jerusalems. Man ließ sich von ihm im Jordanfluß taufen, wobei man seine Sünden bekannte.
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 aus Kamelhaaren und einen Ledergürtel um die Lenden; 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.
Er predigte und sprach: "Nach mir kommt einer, der mächtiger ist als ich; ich bin nicht wert, mich vor ihm hinzubeugen und ihm die Riemen seiner Schuhe loszulösen.
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 dem Heiligen 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].
In jenen Tagen kam Jesus von Nazareth in Galiläa und ließ sich im Jordan von Johannes 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.
Und sogleich, als er aus dem Wasser stieg, sah er, wie sich die Himmel öffneten und wie der Geist einer Taube gleich auf ihn niederschwebte und über ihm blieb.
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 kam vom Himmel her: "Du bist mein geliebter Sohn; an dir habe ich mein Wohlgefallen."
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
Und gleich hernach trieb ihn der Geist in die Einsamkeit
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.
Vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte war er in der Einsamkeit und ward vom Satan versucht; er lebte bei den wilden Tieren; doch 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.
Nach der Gefangennahme des Johannes begab sich Jesus nach Galiläa und verkündete die frohe Botschaft 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])!”
Er sprach: "Erfüllt ist die Zeit; das Reich Gottes ist nahe! Bekehret euch 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.
Einst wanderte er an Galiläas Meer entlang, als er den Simon und Andreas, Simons Bruder, sah. Sie warfen eben ein Netz ins Wasser aus; sie waren nämlich 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: "Kommt, folget mir! Ich werde euch zu Menschenfischern machen."
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Augenblicklich ließen sie 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.
Er ging ein wenig weiter; da sah er Jakobus, den Sohn des Zebedäus, und Johannes, seinen Bruder. In ihrem Boote legten sie gerade die Netze sich zurecht.
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.
Sogleich berief er sie. Sie ließen ihren Vater Zebedäus im Boot bei den Tagelöhnern und gingen mit ihm fort.
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 gingen nach Kapharnaum hinein. Gleich am Sabbat begab er sich in die Synagoge, wo er 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.
Man war von seiner Lehre hingerissen; 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,
In ihrer Synagoge war ein Mensch im Banne eines unreinen Geistes. Er schrie laut
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 rief: "Oho! Was willst du von uns, 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]!”
Doch Jesus drohte ihm und sprach: "Schweig! Fahr von ihm aus!"
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
Da zerrte ihn der unreine Geist hin und her und fuhr mit gellendem Geschrei 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]!”
Alle entsetzten sich und stritten miteinander. Sie fragten: "Was ist doch das, die neue Lehre in der Vollmacht Gottes? Gebietet er doch selbst unreinen Geistern, und sie gehorchen ihm."
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Sein Ruf ging überall hinaus ins ganze Gebiet 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.
Dann ging er aus der Synagoge fort und kam ins Haus des Simon und Andreas, in der Begleitung von 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].
Die Schwiegermutter des Simon lag fieberkrank darnieder, und sie erzählten ihm sofort 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].
Da trat er zu ihr hin, ergriff sie bei der Hand und richtete sie auf. Da wich von ihr das Fieber, 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 Abend wurde und die Sonne untergegangen war, brachte man 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].
Die ganze Stadt drängte sich vor der Tür zusammen.
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 Kranke von mannigfachen Leiden und trieb auch viele Dämonen aus; doch ließ er es nicht zu, daß die Dämonen redeten; sie erkannten ihn nämlich.
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, ging fort und kam an einen abgelegenen Ort, wo er betete.
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 und die Seinen gingen ihm rasch nach.
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
Sie fanden ihn und sagten zu ihm: "Alle suchen 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!”
Er sprach zu ihnen: "Laßt uns auch anderswohin gehen, in die Flecken da umher, damit ich auch dort predige; dazu bin ich gekommen."
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 zog er denn umher und predigte überall in 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!”
Da kam zu ihm ein Aussätziger; auf den Knien flehte er ihn an und sprach: "Wenn du willst, kannst du mich rein machen."
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]!”
Voll Erbarmen streckte er seine Hand aus, berührte ihn und sprach: "Ich will, sei rein!"
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Und sofort wich der Aussatz von ihm, und er war rein.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Mit strengen Worten schickte er 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: "Hüte dich, irgend jemand etwas zu sagen; geh vielmehr hin, zeige dich dem Priester und opfere für deine Reinigung, was Moses vorgeschrieben hat; sie mögen dies zum Zeugnis nehmen."
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.
Jener ging hinweg; er wußte vieles zu erzählen und machte die Tat überall bekannt. So kam es, daß Jesus sich nicht mehr offen in einer Stadt zeigen konnte, vielmehr sich außerhalb an abgelegenen Orten aufhielt; jedoch kam man zu ihm von allen Seiten.
