Marcos 1
1 Aqui começa o evangelho de Jesus Cristo, o Filho de Deus.
([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 Exatamente como o profeta Isaías escreveu: “Estou enviando o meu mensageiro antes de você, para preparar o seu caminho.
3 Alguém está gritando no deserto: ‘Preparem o caminho para o Senhor! Abram um caminho reto para ele!’”
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 João Batista apareceu no deserto, anunciando um batismo de arrependimento para o perdão dos pecados.
[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 Todos os moradores da Judeia e de Jerusalém foram até ele. Eles confessaram os seus pecados e foram batizados no rio Jordão.
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 João usava uma roupa feita de pelo de camelo e um cinto de couro. Ele comia gafanhotos e mel silvestre.
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 Isto é o que ele dizia ao povo: “Aquele que virá depois de mim é mais poderoso do que eu. Eu não sou digno nem mesmo de tirar as suas sandálias.
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 Eu os batizo com água, mas ele os batizará com o Espírito Santo.”
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 Então, Jesus veio de Nazaré da Galileia e foi batizado por João no rio Jordão.
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 Assim que Jesus saiu da água, ele viu os céus se abrirem e o Espírito, como uma pomba, descer e pousar sobre ele.
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 Uma voz vinda do céu disse: “Você é o meu Filho, a quem eu amo e que me deixa muito feliz.”
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Logo em seguida, o Espírito o mandou para o deserto,
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 onde ele foi tentado por Satanás durante quarenta dias. Ele estava entre os animais selvagens, e os anjos cuidaram dele.
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 Mais tarde, após João ser preso, Jesus foi para a Galileia, anunciando as boas novas que vêm de Deus.
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 Jesus dizia: “O tempo anunciado chegou! O Reino de Deus chegou! Arrependam-se e creiam no evangelho!”
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 Andando à beira do mar da Galileia, Jesus viu Simão e o seu irmão André, jogando a rede de pesca na água, pois pescar era o meio de sobrevivência deles.
[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 Jesus lhes disse: “Venham e sigam-me e eu lhes ensinarei a pescar pessoas!”
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 Eles imediatamente largaram as redes e o seguiram.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Mais adiante, ele viu Tiago e o seu irmão João, filhos de Zebedeu. Eles estavam em um barco, consertando suas redes.
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 Imediatamente, Jesus os chamou para segui-lo, e eles deixaram o seu pai Zebedeu no barco, com os empregados contratados, e seguiram Jesus.
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 Eles partiram para Cafarnaum e, no sábado, Jesus entrou na sinagoga e ensinou ali.
[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 As pessoas ficaram maravilhadas com a sua forma de ensinar, pois ele falava com autoridade, diferente dos educadores religiosos.
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 De repente, ali mesmo na sinagoga, um homem possuído por um espírito mau começou a gritar:
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 “Jesus de Nazaré, por que você está nos incomodando? Você veio para nos destruir? Eu sei quem você é! Você é o Santo que Deus enviou!”
“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 Jesus repreendeu o espírito mau, dizendo: “Fique quieto! Saia dele!”
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 O espírito mau gritou, fez o homem ter convulsões e saiu dele.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Todos ficaram espantados com o que aconteceu. Eles perguntavam uns aos outros: “O que é isto? Este novo ensinamento tem tamanha autoridade? Mesmo os espíritos maus lhe obedecem!”
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 notícia a respeito de Jesus se espalhou rapidamente por toda a região da Galileia.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Então, eles saíram da sinagoga e foram para a casa de Simão e de André, junto com Tiago e João.
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 sogra de Simão estava deitada na cama, com febre. Eles, então, falaram com Jesus a respeito dela.
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 Ele se aproximou dela, segurou a sua mão e a ajudou a se levantar. Ela imediatamente ficou sem febre. Depois, ela preparou a comida para eles.
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 Após o pôr-do-sol naquela tarde, as pessoas trouxeram os doentes e os possuídos por demônios para Jesus curar.
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 Todas as pessoas da cidade se reuniram fora da casa de Simão.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Ele curou muitas pessoas que tinham diversas doenças e expulsou muitos demônios. Ele não permitia que os demônios falassem, pois eles sabiam quem ele era.
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 De manhã, bem cedo, enquanto o céu ainda estava escuro, Jesus se levantou e foi sozinho para um lugar calmo, para orar.
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 Simão e os outros foram procurá-lo.
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 Quando o encontraram, eles lhe disseram: “Todos estão procurando você.”
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Jesus respondeu: “Nós precisamos ir para outras cidades próximas daqui, para que eu também possa anunciar o evangelho lá. Afinal, foi para isso que eu vim.”
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 Então, ele percorreu toda a Galileia, anunciando seus ensinamentos nas sinagogas e expulsando os demônios.
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 Um leproso veio até ele, pedindo ajuda. O homem se ajoelhou diante de Jesus, dizendo: “Por favor, se você quiser, você pode me curar!”
[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 Com pena, Jesus se aproximou, tocou nele e disse: “Sim, eu quero! Você está curado!”
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 A lepra o deixou imediatamente, e ele ficou curado.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Jesus o avisou antes de mandá-lo embora:
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 “Cuidado para não contar sobre isso a ninguém. Vá e peça ao sacerdote que o examine. E ofereça o sacrifício que Moisés exigiu por essa purificação, para que as pessoas tenham uma prova”.
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 Mas, o leproso curado foi e disse a todos o que tinha acontecido. Com isso, Jesus não podia mais ir publicamente às cidades. Ele precisou ficar em lugares mais afastados. E pessoas de todas as partes vinham procurá-lo.
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.
