Marka 1
1 Oto niezwykła opowieść o Jezusie—Mesjaszu, Synu Bożym.
([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 Już przez proroka Izajasza Bóg zapowiedział: „Oto Ja posyłam przed Tobą mojego wysłańca; on przygotuje Twoją drogę”.
3 „Głos wołającego na pustyni: Przygotujcie drogę dla Pana, prostujcie dla Niego ścieżki!”
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 Posłańcem tym był Jan Chrzciciel. Mieszkał na pustyni i przekonywał ludzi, że muszą zmienić swoje grzeszne życie. Na znak zerwania z grzechem powinni pozwolić zanurzyć się w wodzie.
[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 Mieszkańcy Jerozolimy i całej Judei podążali na Pustynię Judejską, aby zobaczyć i posłuchać Jana. Wielu z nich wyznawało swoje grzechy, a on chrzcił ich w Jordanie.
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 Jan nosił ubranie z wielbłądziej wełny i skórzany pas. Żywił się wyłącznie szarańczą i leśnym miodem.
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 Często mówił: —Wkrótce przyjdzie Ktoś o wiele większy ode mnie—tak wielki, że ja nie jestem nawet godzien rozwiązać rzemyka Jego sandałów.
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 Ja zanurzam was w wodzie, lecz On zanurzy was w Duchu Świętym!
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 Pewnego dnia przyszedł do Jana Jezus z Nazaretu i został ochrzczony w Jordanie.
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 Gdy wychodził z wody, ujrzał otwarte niebo i Ducha Świętego, który zstąpił na Niego jak gołąb.
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 A z nieba rozległ się głos: —Jesteś moim ukochanym Synem, moją największą radością.
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Zaraz też Jezus, prowadzony przez Ducha Świętego, udał się na pustynię.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Tam, otoczony tylko przez pustynne zwierzęta, spędził samotnie czterdzieści dni i był kuszony przez szatana. Potem zaś przyszli do Niego aniołowie i służyli Mu.
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 A gdy król Herod uwięził Jana, Jezus udał się do Galilei, by tam głosić Bożą dobrą nowinę.
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 —Nadszedł już czas!—mówił. —Zbliża się królestwo Boże! Porzućcie grzechy i uwierzcie w dobrą nowinę!
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 Pewnego dnia, idąc brzegiem Jeziora Galilejskiego, Jezus spotkał dwóch rybaków: Szymona i jego brata, Andrzeja, którzy łowili ryby.
[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 —Chodźcie ze Mną!—rzekł do nich. —Uczynię was rybakami ludzi!
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 Oni natychmiast zastawili sieci i poszli z Nim.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Nieco dalej zobaczył Jakuba i Jana, synów Zebedeusza, którzy siedzieli w łodzi i naprawiali sieci.
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 Ich również zawołał, a oni poszli z Nim, zostawiając ojca i jego pomocników.
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 Razem udali się do miasta Kafarnaum. W szabat weszli do synagogi, a Jezus zaczął nauczać.
[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 Wszyscy byli zdumieni Jego nauką. Mówił bowiem do nich nie jak ich przywódcy religijni, ale jak ktoś, kto ma władzę nad ludźmi.
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 Nagle jakiś człowiek, będący pod wpływem demona, zaczął wykrzykiwać:
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 —Dlaczego nas niepokoisz, Jezusie z Nazaretu? Czy przyszedłeś nas zniszczyć? Wiem, kim jesteś! Świętym Synem Boga!
“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 —Milcz i wyjdź z tego człowieka!—rozkazał Jezus duchowi.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Zły duch szarpnął nim gwałtownie i z krzykiem go opuścił.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Świadkowie tego zdarzenia oniemieli z wrażenia, a następnie komentowali to, co ujrzeli: —Jaka moc jest w Jego słowach, skoro słuchają Go nawet złe duchy?
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 A wiadomość o tym wydarzeniu lotem błyskawicy obiegła Galileę i całą okolicę.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Jezus wyszedł z synagogi i wraz z Jakubem oraz Janem udał się do domu Szymona i Andrzeja.
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 Teściowa Szymona miała akurat wysoką gorączkę i leżała w łóżku. Gdy powiedziano o tym Jezusowi,
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 On podszedł do chorej, wziął ją za rękę i pomógł jej się podnieść. Temperatura natychmiast spadła, a teściowa wstała i przygotowała im posiłek.
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 Wieczorem, już po zachodzie słońca, przyprowadzono do Jezusa wielu chorych i zniewolonych przez demony.
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 Przed bramą zaś zgromadził się ogromny tłum mieszkańców, ciekawych nadchodzących wydarzeń.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Jezus uzdrowił wielu chorych i wielu demonom rozkazał opuścić swe ofiary. A ponieważ demony wiedziały, kim On jest, zabronił im cokolwiek mówić.
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 Następnego dnia wstał jeszcze przed świtem i udał się na pustynię, aby się modlić.
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 Po jakimś czasie odnalazł Go Szymon i pozostali uczniowie.
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 —Wszyscy o Ciebie pytają—mówili.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 —Musimy odwiedzić także inne miasta, aby i tam nauczać!—odpowiedział Jezus. —Po to przecież przyszedłem.
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 Przemierzał więc całą krainę galilejską, przemawiając w synagogach oraz uwalniając wielu ludzi od demonów.
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 Pewnego razu podszedł do Niego trędowaty i na kolanach błagał o uzdrowienie: —Jeśli tylko zechcesz, możesz mnie uzdrowić—prosił.
[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 Jezus, ogarnięty współczuciem, dotknął go i rzekł: —Chcę. Bądź uzdrowiony!
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 Trąd natychmiast zniknął i w jednej chwili człowiek ten odzyskał zdrowie.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Jezus zaraz go odprawił, surowo przykazując mu:
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 —Nie mów o tym nikomu. Idź i poproś, aby zbadał cię kapłan. A na dowód tego, że wyzdrowiałeś, zanieś ofiarę, jaką Mojżesz wyznaczył uleczonemu z trądu.
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 Lecz człowiek ten, idąc, opowiadał wszystkim o swoim cudownym uzdrowieniu. A Jezus, z powodu rozgłosu, nie mógł już swobodnie pokazywać się w miastach—schronił się więc na pustyni. Lecz nawet tam przychodzili do Niego ludzie.
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.
