Markus 1
1 Inilah Kabar Baik tentang Kristus Yesus, Anak Allah: Kejadian ini dimulai seperti yang dahulu sudah dinubuatkan oleh para nabi tentang apa yang Allah katakan kepada Anak-Nya, “Perhatikanlah: Aku akan mengutus seorang pemberita lebih dulu, supaya dia menyiapkan jalan sebelum Aku mengutus Engkau.”
([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].
3 “Orang itu akan mengajar dengan suara keras di padang belantara, ‘Mari kita menyiapkan diri untuk kedatangan Tuhan! Marilah kita bersiap-siap untuk bertemu dengan-Nya!’”
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 Ratusan tahun kemudian, orang yang Allah sebutkan itu datang ke padang belantara. Namanya Yohanes. Dia mengajar orang-orang yang datang kepadanya, “Kamu masing-masing harus bertobat dari dosa-dosamu supaya Allah mengampunimu. Dan untuk menunjukkan bahwa kamu mau terus mengikut TUHAN, datanglah kepada saya supaya saya membaptis kamu.”
[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 Lalu datanglah orang banyak dari seluruh provinsi Yudea dan kota Yerusalem kepada Yohanes di sungai Yordan. Mereka semua mengaku dosa kepada Allah, lalu Yohanes membaptis mereka di situ.
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 Pakaian Yohanes terbuat dari bulu unta. Ikat pinggangnya dari kulit binatang. Dia sering makan belalang dan madu dari sarang lebah liar.
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 Yohanes mengatakan kepada orang banyak itu, “Tidak lama lagi akan datang Seorang yang lebih berkuasa daripada saya. Bahkan saya tidak layak melayani Dia, walaupun hanya membungkuk untuk membukakan tali sandal-Nya.
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 Saya hanya dapat membaptis kalian dengan air, tetapi Dia yang lebih berkuasa dari saya akan membaptis kalian dengan Roh Kudus.”
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 Beberapa waktu kemudian, Yesus datang ke sungai Yordan dari kampung Nazaret di provinsi Galilea. Lalu Yohanes membaptis Dia di situ.
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 Ketika Yesus keluar dari air, tiba-tiba Dia melihat langit terbelah dan Roh Allah turun ke atas-Nya dalam bentuk burung merpati.
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 Lalu terdengarlah suara Allah dari surga yang berkata, “Engkaulah Anak-Ku yang sangat Aku kasihi, dan Engkau menyenangkan hati-Ku.”
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Sesudah itu Roh Allah langsung memimpin Yesus ke padang belantara.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Empat puluh hari lamanya Yesus tinggal di situ, di mana ada banyak binatang liar. Pada waktu itu Satanas berulang kali berusaha mencobai Dia, tetapi tidak pernah berhasil. Lalu para malaikat datang melayani Yesus.
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 Sesudah Yohanes Pembaptis dipenjara, Yesus pergi ke Galilea dan mulai mengajarkan Kabar Baik tentang kerajaan Allah.
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 Yesus berkata, “Bertobatlah dan percayalah kepada Kabar Baik, karena hampir tiba waktunya Allah mendirikan kerajaan-Nya di dunia ini.”
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 Waktu Yesus berjalan di tepi danau Galilea, Dia melihat dua orang nelayan sedang melemparkan jala ke danau. Mereka adalah Simon, yang juga disebut Petrus, dan adiknya, Andreas.
[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 Lalu Yesus berkata kepada mereka, “Mari ikut Aku. Pekerjaan kalian bukan lagi penjala ikan, tetapi Aku akan mengajar kalian untuk mengumpulkan orang supaya mereka menjadi pengikut-Ku.”
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 Saat itu juga mereka langsung meninggalkan jala mereka dan mengikut Yesus.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Setelah berjalan tidak jauh dari tempat itu, Yesus melihat lagi dua orang nelayan yang sedang memperbaiki jala-jala mereka di dalam perahu. Mereka adalah Yakobus dan adiknya, Yohanes, anak-anak Zebedeus. Yesus pun segera memanggil mereka. Saat itu juga keduanya meninggalkan Zebedeus dan beberapa anak buahnya, lalu mengikut Yesus.
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.
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 Sesudah itu Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya pergi ke kota Kapernaum. Pada hari Sabat Dia masuk ke rumah pertemuan orang Yahudi dan mengajar di situ.
[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 Semua orang yang mendengarkan ajaran-Nya terheran-heran, karena Dia berbicara seperti seorang penguasa yang mempunyai hak untuk memerintah. Ajaran-Nya tidak seperti ajaran para ahli Taurat.
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 Di dalam rumah pertemuan itu ada seorang laki-laki yang dikuasai roh jahat, dan dia berteriak,
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 “Hai Yesus orang Nazaret! Tidak ada urusanmu dengan kami! Apakah kamu datang untuk membinasakan kami? Saya sudah tahu siapa kamu! Kamu adalah utusan yang suci dari Allah.”
“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 Lalu Yesus membentak roh jahat itu, “Diam! Keluar dari orang ini!”
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Roh jahat itu mengguncang-guncangkan orang itu dengan sangat keras, lalu keluar dari orang itu sambil menjerit.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Semua orang yang melihat kejadian itu terheran-heran dan berkata satu sama lain, “Wah! Luar biasa! Ini suatu ajaran baru! Orang ini mempunyai kuasa sehingga roh-roh jahat pun taat kepadanya.”
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 Berita tentang Yesus segera tersebar dengan cepat di seluruh provinsi Galilea.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Sesudah Yesus dan keempat murid-Nya keluar dari rumah pertemuan itu, mereka langsung masuk ke rumah Petrus dan Andreas. Yakobus dan Yohanes juga ikut.
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 Ketika mereka masuk, ada orang yang memberitahukan kepada Yesus bahwa ibu mertua Petrus sedang terbaring karena sakit demam.
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 Maka Yesus datang kepadanya dan memegang tangannya, lalu membantu dia untuk duduk. Saat itu juga demamnya hilang. Kemudian ibu itu bangun dan melayani mereka.
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 Sesudah matahari tenggelam dan hari Sabat baru selesai, warga kota itu membawa kepada Yesus semua orang yang sakit dan yang dikuasai setan-setan.
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 Hampir semua penduduk kota Kapernaum berkumpul di depan rumah Petrus dan Andreas.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Lalu Yesus menyembuhkan segala macam penyakit yang mereka derita, juga mengusir setan-setan yang menguasai banyak orang. Dia tidak mengizinkan setan-setan itu untuk bicara, karena mereka tahu siapa Dia.
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 Besok paginya, waktu hari masih gelap, Yesus bangun dan meninggalkan rumah itu lalu pergi ke tempat yang sepi untuk berdoa.
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 Waktu Petrus dan teman-temannya melihat bahwa Yesus tidak ada di rumah, mereka pergi mencari Dia.
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 Sesudah menemukan-Nya mereka berkata, “Guru, mari kita pulang, karena semua orang sedang mencari Engkau.”
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Tetapi Dia menjawab, “Lebih baik kita pergi ke kampung-kampung lain di daerah ini, supaya Aku bisa mengajarkan Kabar Baik kepada warga di sana juga. Karena untuk itulah Aku datang.”
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 Lalu Yesus mengajar di rumah-rumah pertemuan orang Yahudi di seluruh provinsi Galilea, juga mengusir setan-setan dari banyak orang.
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 Suatu kali, seorang yang kena penyakit kulit menular datang berlutut di depan Yesus dan berkata, “Kalau Bapak mau, saya yakin Bapak pasti bisa menyembuhkan saya.”
[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 Yesus sangat mengasihani orang itu. Dia pun menyentuhnya sambil berkata, “Aku mau. Sembuhlah!”
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 Saat itu juga penyakit kulitnya langsung hilang dan dia betul-betul sembuh.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Lalu Yesus segera menyuruh orang itu pergi serta melarangnya dengan tegas,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 “Jangan beritahukan kepada siapa pun tentang apa yang terjadi padamu! Pergilah dulu kepada salah satu imam yang bertugas dan tunjukkan kulitmu kepadanya. Lalu berikan persembahan kepada Allah sesuai dengan perintah Musa tentang orang yang sudah sembuh dari penyakit kulit. Dengan demikian semua orang akan tahu bahwa kamu betul-betul sudah sembuh.”
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 Tetapi orang itu pergi dan menceritakan kejadian tadi ke sana kemari. Karena itu Yesus tidak mau lagi masuk secara terang-terangan ke dalam kota. Jadi Dia dan murid-murid-Nya tinggal di luar kota saja, di daerah-daerah yang sepi. Biarpun begitu, orang-orang dari mana pun terus saja berdatangan kepada-Nya.
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.
