Marka 1
1 Początek ewangelii Jezusa Chrystusa, Syna Bożego.
([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 Jak jest napisane u Proroków: Oto ja posyłam mego posłańca przed twoim obliczem, który przygotuje twoją drogę przed tobą.
3 Głos wołającego na pustyni: Przygotujcie drogę Pana, prostujcie jego 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 Jan chrzcił na pustyni i głosił chrzest pokuty na przebaczenie grzechów.
[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 I przychodziła do niego cała kraina judzka i mieszkańcy Jerozolimy, i wszyscy byli chrzczeni przez niego w rzece Jordan, wyznając swoje grzechy.
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 ubierał się w sierść wielbłądzią i miał skórzany pas wokół swoich bioder, a jadał szarańczę i miód leśny.
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 I głosił: Idzie za mną mocniejszy ode mnie, któremu nie jestem godny, schyliwszy się, rozwiązać rzemyka u jego obuwia.
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 chrzciłem was wodą, ale on będzie was chrzcił Duchem 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 A w tych dniach przyszedł Jezus z Nazaretu w Galilei i został ochrzczony przez Jana 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 A zaraz, wychodząc z wody, ujrzał rozstępujące się niebiosa i Ducha jak gołębicę zstępującego na niego.
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 I rozległ się głos z nieba: Ty jesteś moim umiłowanym Synem, w którym mam upodobanie.
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 I zaraz Duch zapędził go na pustynię.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Był tam na pustyni czterdzieści dni, będąc kuszony przez szatana. I przebywał wśród zwierząt, a aniołowie 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 Lecz potem, gdy Jan został wtrącony [do więzienia], Jezus przyszedł do Galilei, głosząc ewangelię królestwa Bożego;
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 I mówiąc: Wypełnił się czas i przybliżyło się królestwo Boże. Pokutujcie i wierzcie ewangelii.
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 A przechadzając się nad Morzem Galilejskim, zobaczył Szymona i Andrzeja, jego brata, zarzucających sieć w morze; byli bowiem rybakami.
[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 I powiedział do nich Jezus: Pójdźcie za mną, a sprawię, że staniecie się 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 A [oni] natychmiast zostawili swoje sieci i poszli za nim.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Gdy zaś odszedł stamtąd nieco dalej, zobaczył Jakuba, syna Zebedeusza, i Jana, jego brata, którzy w łodzi 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 I zaraz ich powołał, a oni zostawili swego ojca Zebedeusza w łodzi z najemnikami i poszli za nim.
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 Potem weszli do Kafarnaum, a zaraz w szabat [Jezus] wszedł do synagogi i nauczał.
[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 I zdumiewali się jego nauką, uczył ich bowiem jak ten, który ma moc, a nie jak uczeni w Piśmie.
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 A w ich synagodze był człowiek [mający] ducha nieczystego, który zawołał:
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 Ach, cóż my z tobą mamy, Jezusie z Nazaretu? Przyszedłeś nas zniszczyć? Wiem, kim jesteś: Świętym 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 I zgromił go Jezus: Zamilcz i wyjdź z niego!
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Wtedy duch nieczysty szarpnął nim i zawoławszy donośnym głosem, wyszedł z niego.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 I zdumieli się wszyscy, tak że pytali się między sobą: Cóż to jest? Co to za nowa nauka, że z mocą rozkazuje nawet duchom nieczystym i są mu posłuszne?
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 I wieść o nim szybko się rozeszła po całej okolicy wokół Galilei.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 A zaraz po wyjściu z synagogi przyszli z Jakubem i Janem 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 A teściowa Szymona leżała w gorączce. Od razu też powiedzieli mu o niej.
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 Podszedł więc i podniósł ją, ująwszy za rękę, i natychmiast opuściła ją gorączka. A ona usługiwała im.
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 Kiedy nastał wieczór i zaszło słońce, przynosili do niego wszystkich chorych oraz opętanych.
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 A całe miasto zgromadziło się przed drzwiami.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 On zaś uzdrowił wielu cierpiących na różne choroby i wypędził wiele demonów, a nie pozwolił demonom mówić, bo go znały.
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 A wstawszy wczesnym rankiem, przed świtem, wyszedł i udał się na odludne miejsce, i tam się modlił.
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 Poszli też za nim Szymon i ci, którzy z nim byli.
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 A znalazłszy go, powiedzieli mu: Wszyscy cię szukają.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Wtedy im powiedział: Chodźmy do przyległych miasteczek, abym i tam głosił, bo po to 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 I głosił w ich synagogach po całej Galilei, i wypędzał demony.
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 Wtedy przyszedł do niego trędowaty, upadł przed nim na kolana i prosił go: Jeśli chcesz, możesz mnie oczyścić.
[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 A Jezus, zdjęty litością, wyciągnął rękę, dotknął go i powiedział do niego: Chcę, bądź oczyszczony!
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 Gdy Pan to powiedział, natychmiast trąd go opuścił i został oczyszczony.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 A [Jezus] surowo mu przykazał i zaraz go odprawił;
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 Mówiąc: Uważaj, abyś nikomu nic nie mówił, ale idź, pokaż się kapłanowi i ofiaruj za swoje oczyszczenie to, co nakazał Mojżesz, na świadectwo dla nich.
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 on odszedł i zaczął bardzo to rozpowiadać i rozgłaszać, tak że Jezus nie mógł już jawnie wejść do miasta, ale przebywał na zewnątrz, w miejscach odludnych. A [ludzie] zewsząd schodzili się do niego.
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.
