Markuksen 1
1 Jeesuksen Kristuksen, Jumalan Pojan, evankeliumin alku.
([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 Niinkuin on kirjoitettuna profeetta Esaiaan kirjassa: "Katso, minä lähetän enkelini sinun edelläsi, ja hän on valmistava sinun tiesi".
3 "Huutavan ääni kuuluu erämaassa: 'Valmistakaa Herralle tie, tehkää polut hänelle tasaisiksi'",
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 niin Johannes Kastaja saarnasi erämaassa parannuksen kastetta syntien anteeksisaamiseksi.
[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 Ja koko Juudean maa ja kaikki jerusalemilaiset vaelsivat hänen tykönsä, ja hän kastoi heidät Jordanin virrassa, kun he tunnustivat syntinsä.
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 Ja Johanneksella oli puku kamelinkarvoista ja vyötäisillään nahkavyö; ja hän söi heinäsirkkoja ja metsähunajaa.
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 Ja hän saarnasi sanoen: "Minun jälkeeni tulee minua väkevämpi, jonka kengänpaulaa minä en ole kelvollinen maahan kumartuneena päästämään.
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 Minä kastan teidät vedellä, mutta hän kastaa teidät Pyhällä Hengellä."
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 Ja niinä päivinä Jeesus tuli Galilean Nasaretista, ja Johannes kastoi hänet Jordanissa.
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 Ja heti, vedestä noustessaan, hän näki taivasten aukeavan ja Hengen niinkuin kyyhkysen laskeutuvan häneen.
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 Ja taivaista tuli ääni: "Sinä olet minun rakas Poikani; sinuun minä olen mielistynyt".
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Kohta sen jälkeen Henki ajoi hänet erämaahan.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Ja hän oli erämaassa neljäkymmentä päivää, ja saatana kiusasi häntä, ja hän oli petojen seassa; ja enkelit tekivät hänelle palvelusta.
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 Mutta sittenkuin Johannes oli pantu vankeuteen, meni Jeesus Galileaan ja saarnasi Jumalan evankeliumia
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 ja sanoi: "Aika on täyttynyt, ja Jumalan valtakunta on tullut lähelle; tehkää parannus ja uskokaa evankeliumi".
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 Ja kulkiessaan Galilean järven rantaa hän näki Simonin ja Andreaan, Simonin veljen, heittävän verkkoa järveen; sillä he olivat kalastajia.
[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 Ja Jeesus sanoi heille: "Seuratkaa minua, niin minä teen teistä ihmisten kalastajia".
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 Kohta he jättivät verkot ja seurasivat häntä.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Ja käytyään siitä vähän eteenpäin hän näki Jaakobin, Sebedeuksen pojan, ja Johanneksen, hänen veljensä, heidätkin venheessä, laittamassa verkkojaan kuntoon.
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 Ja kohta hän kutsui heidät; ja he jättivät isänsä, Sebedeuksen, palkkalaisineen venheeseen ja lähtivät seuraamaan häntä.
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 Ja he saapuivat Kapernaumiin; ja hän meni kohta sapattina synagoogaan ja opetti.
[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 Ja he olivat hämmästyksissään hänen opetuksestansa, sillä hän opetti heitä niinkuin se, jolla valta on, eikä niinkuin kirjanoppineet.
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 Ja heidän synagoogassaan oli juuri silloin mies, jossa oli saastainen henki; ja se huusi
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 sanoen: "Mitä sinulla on meidän kanssamme tekemistä, Jeesus Nasaretilainen? Oletko tullut meitä tuhoamaan? Minä tunnen sinut, kuka olet, sinä Jumalan Pyhä."
“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 Niin Jeesus nuhteli sitä sanoen: "Vaikene ja lähde hänestä".
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Ja saastainen henki kouristi häntä ja lähti hänestä huutaen suurella äänellä.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Ja he hämmästyivät kaikki, niin että kyselivät toisiltaan sanoen: "Mitä tämä on? Uusi, voimallinen oppi! Hän käskee saastaisia henkiäkin, ja ne tottelevat häntä."
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 Ja hänen maineensa levisi kohta koko ympäristöön, kaikkialle Galileaan.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Ja tultuaan ulos synagoogasta he menivät kohta Simonin ja Andreaan taloon Jaakobin ja Johanneksen kanssa.
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 Ja Simonin anoppi makasi sairaana kuumeessa, ja kohta he puhuivat hänestä Jeesukselle.
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 Ja hän meni hänen luoksensa ja nosti hänet ylös, tarttuen hänen käteensä; ja kuume lähti hänestä, ja hän palveli heitä.
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 Mutta illan tultua, kun aurinko oli laskenut, tuotiin hänen tykönsä kaikki sairaat ja riivatut,
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 ja koko kaupunki oli koolla oven edessä.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Ja hän paransi monta, jotka sairastivat moninaisia tauteja, ja paljon riivaajia hän ajoi ulos eikä sallinut riivaajien puhua, koska ne tunsivat hänet.
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 Ja varhain aamulla, kun vielä oli pimeä, hän nousi, lähti ulos ja meni autioon paikkaan; ja siellä hän rukoili.
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 Mutta Simon ja ne, jotka olivat hänen kanssaan, riensivät hänen jälkeensä;
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 ja löydettyään hänet he sanoivat hänelle: "Kaikki etsivät sinua".
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Ja hän sanoi heille: "Menkäämme muualle, läheisiin kyliin, että minä sielläkin saarnaisin, sillä sitä varten minä olen tullut".
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 Ja hän meni ja saarnasi heidän synagoogissaan koko Galileassa ja ajoi ulos riivaajat.
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 Ja hänen tykönsä tuli pitalinen mies, rukoili häntä, polvistui ja sanoi hänelle: "Jos tahdot, niin sinä voit minut puhdistaa".
[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 Niin Jeesuksen kävi häntä sääliksi, ja ojentaen kätensä hän kosketti häntä ja sanoi hänelle: "Minä tahdon; puhdistu".
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 Ja kohta pitali lähti hänestä, ja hän puhdistui.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Ja varoittaen häntä ankarasti hän laski hänet heti menemään
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 ja sanoi hänelle: "Katso, ettet puhu tästä kenellekään mitään, vaan mene ja näytä itsesi papille ja uhraa puhdistumisestasi se, minkä Mooses on säätänyt, todistukseksi heille".
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 Mutta mentyään pois tämä rupesi laajalti julistamaan ja asiasta tietoa levittämään, niin ettei Jeesus enää saattanut julkisesti mennä kaupunkeihin, vaan oleskeli niiden ulkopuolella autioissa paikoissa; ja kaikkialta tultiin hänen tykönsä.
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.
