మార్కు 1
ദൈവപുത്രനായ യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിന്റെ സുവിശേഷത്തിന്റെ ആരംഭം:
2 ౨ యెషయా ప్రవక్త రాసిన గ్రంథంలో ఇలా ఉంది, “ఇదిగో, నా దూతను నీకు ముందుగా పంపుతున్నాను. అతడు నీ మార్గం సిద్ధపరుస్తాడు.
“ഞാൻ നിനക്കു മുമ്പായി എന്റെ ദൂതനെ അയക്കുന്നു; അവൻ നിന്റെ വഴി ഒരുക്കും.
3 ౩ ‘ప్రభువు మార్గం సిద్ధం చేయండి, ఆయన దారులు తిన్నగా చేయండి’ అని అరణ్యంలో ఒకడి కేక వినిపిస్తూ ఉంది.”
കൎത്താവിന്റെ വഴി ഒരുക്കുവിൻ അവന്റെ പാത നിരപ്പാക്കുവിൻ എന്നു മരുഭൂമിയിൽ വിളിച്ചുപറയുന്നവന്റെ വാക്കു” എന്നിങ്ങനെ യെശയ്യാപ്രവാചകന്റെ പുസ്തകത്തിൽ എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ
4 ౪ యోహాను వచ్చినపుడు అరణ్య ప్రాంతంలో బాప్తిసం ఇస్తూ, పాప క్షమాపణ కోసం పశ్చాత్తాపానికి సూచనగా ఉన్న బాప్తిసం గురించి ప్రకటించాడు.
യോഹന്നാൻ വന്നു മരുഭൂമിയിൽ സ്നാനം കഴിപ്പിച്ചും പാപമോചനത്തിന്നായുള്ള മാനസാന്തരസ്നാനം പ്രസംഗിച്ചുംകൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.
5 ౫ యూదయ ప్రాంతం, యెరూషలేము పట్టణం వారంతా, యోహాను దగ్గరికి వెళ్లి, తమ పాపాలు ఒప్పుకుని, యొర్దాను నదిలో అతని చేత బాప్తిసం పొందారు.
അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ യെഹൂദ്യദേശം ഒക്കെയും യെരൂശലേമ്യർ എല്ലാവരും വന്നു പാപങ്ങളെ ഏറ്റുപറഞ്ഞു യോൎദ്ദാൻ നദിയിൽ അവനാൽ സ്നാനം കഴിഞ്ഞു.
6 ౬ యోహాను ఒంటె వెంట్రుకలతో చేసిన బట్టలు వేసుకుని, నడుముకు తోలు నడికట్టు కట్టుకునేవాడు. అడవి తేనె, మిడతలు అతని ఆహారం.
യോഹന്നാനോ ഒട്ടക രോമംകൊണ്ടുള്ള ഉടുപ്പും അരയിൽ തോൽ വാറും ധരിച്ചും വെട്ടുക്കിളിയും കാട്ടുതേനും ഉപജീവിച്ചും പോന്നു.
7 ౭ యోహాను, “నాకంటే శక్తి గలవాడు నా తరువాత వస్తున్నాడు. నేను వంగి ఆయన చెప్పులు విప్పడానికి కూడా తగను” అని ప్రకటించాడు.
എന്നിലും ബലമേറിയവൻ എന്റെ പിന്നാലെ വരുന്നു; അവന്റെ ചെരിപ്പിന്റെ വാറു കുനിഞ്ഞഴിപ്പാൻ ഞാൻ യോഗ്യനല്ല.
8 ౮ “నేను మీకు నీళ్లలో బాప్తిసం ఇచ్చాను గాని ఆయన మీకు దేవుని పరిశుద్ధాత్మలో బాప్తిసం ఇస్తాడు” అన్నాడు.
ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ വെള്ളത്തിൽ സ്നാനം കഴിപ്പിക്കുന്നു; അവനോ നിങ്ങളെ പരിശുദ്ധാത്മാവിൽ സ്നാനം കഴിപ്പിക്കും എന്നു അവൻ പ്രസംഗിച്ചു പറഞ്ഞു.
9 ౯ యోహాను ఇలా ప్రకటిస్తున్న రోజుల్లో గలిలయ ప్రాంతంలోని నజరేతు నుండి యేసు వచ్చి యోహాను చేత యొర్దాను నదిలో బాప్తిసం తీసుకున్నాడు.
ആ കാലത്തു യേശു ഗലീലയിലെ നസറെത്തിൽ നിന്നു വന്നു യോഹന്നാനാൽ യോൎദ്ദാനിൽ സ്നാനം കഴിഞ്ഞു.
10 ౧౦ యేసు నీళ్లలో నుండి ఒడ్డుకు వచ్చినప్పుడు ఆకాశం చీలి, దేవుని ఆత్మ పావురం రూపంలో తన మీదికి దిగి రావడం చూశాడు.
വെള്ളത്തിൽ നിന്നു കയറിയ ഉടനെ ആകാശം പിളരുന്നതും ആത്മാവു പ്രാവുപോലെ തന്റെ മേൽ വരുന്നതും കണ്ടു:
11 ౧౧ అప్పుడు ఆకాశం నుండి ఒక స్వరం ఇలా వినిపించింది, “నీవు నా ప్రియ కుమారుడివి, నీ విషయం నాకెంతో ఆనందం.”
നീ എന്റെ പ്രിയപുത്രൻ; നിന്നിൽ ഞാൻ പ്രസാദിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു എന്നു സ്വൎഗ്ഗത്തിൽ നിന്നു ഒരു ശബ്ദവും ഉണ്ടായി.
അനന്തരം ആത്മാവു അവനെ മരുഭൂമിയിലേക്കു പോകുവാൻ നിൎബന്ധിച്ചു.
13 ౧౩ ఆయన అక్కడ నలభై రోజులుండి సైతాను చేత పరీక్షలకు గురయ్యాడు. అడవి మృగాల మధ్య జీవించాడు. దేవుని దూతలు ఆయనకు సపర్యలు చేశారు.
അവിടെ അവൻ സാത്താനാൽ പരീക്ഷിക്കപ്പെട്ടു നാല്പതു ദിവസം മരുഭൂമിയിൽ കാട്ടുമൃഗങ്ങളോടുകൂടെ ആയിരുന്നു; ദൂതന്മാർ അവനെ ശുശ്രൂഷിച്ചു പോന്നു.
എന്നാൽ യോഹന്നാൻ തടവിൽ ആയശേഷം യേശു ഗലീലയിൽ ചെന്നു ദൈവരാജ്യത്തിന്റെ സുവിശേഷം പ്രസംഗിച്ചു:
15 ౧౫ “కాలం సమీపించింది, దేవుని రాజ్యం దగ్గర పడింది. పశ్చాత్తాపపడి సువార్తను నమ్మండి” అని ప్రకటించాడు.
കാലം തികഞ്ഞു ദൈവരാജ്യം സമീപിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; മാനസാന്തരപ്പെട്ടു സുവിശേഷത്തിൽ വിശ്വസിപ്പിൻ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
16 ౧౬ ఆయన గలిలయ సరస్సు ఒడ్డున నడుస్తూ ఉండగా, జాలరులైన సీమోను, అతని సోదరుడు అంద్రెయ సరస్సులో వలవేయడం చూశాడు.
അവൻ ഗലീലക്കടല്പുറത്തു നടക്കുമ്പോൾ ശീമോനും അവന്റെ സഹോദരനായ അന്ത്രെയാസും കടലിൽ വല വീശുന്നതു കണ്ടു; അവർ മീൻ പിടിക്കുന്നവർ ആയിരുന്നു.
യേശു അവരോടു: എന്നെ അനുഗമിപ്പിൻ; ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ മനുഷ്യരെ പിടിക്കുന്നവരാക്കും എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
ഉടനെ അവർ വല വിട്ടു അവനെ അനുഗമിച്ചു.
19 ౧౯ ఆయన ఇంకా కొంతదూరం వెళ్ళి జెబెదయి కుమారుడు యాకోబునూ, అతని సోదరుడు యోహానునూ చూశాడు. వారు పడవలో ఉండి వారి వలలు బాగు చేసుకుంటున్నారు.
അവിടെ നിന്നു അല്പം മുന്നോട്ടു ചെന്നപ്പോൾ സെബെദിയുടെ മകനായ യാക്കോബും അവന്റെ സഹോദരനായ യോഹന്നാനും പടകിൽ ഇരുന്നു വല നന്നാക്കുന്നതു കണ്ടു.
20 ౨౦ వారిని చూసిన వెంటనే తన వెంట రమ్మని యేసు వారిని పిలిచాడు. వారు తమ తండ్రి జెబెదయిని పడవలో పనివారి దగ్గర విడిచిపెట్టి యేసు వెంట వచ్చారు.
ഉടനെ അവരെയും വിളിച്ചു; അവർ അപ്പനായ സെബെദിയെ കൂലിക്കാരോടുകൂടെ പടകിൽ വിട്ടു അവനെ അനുഗമിച്ചു.
21 ౨౧ తరువాత వారందరూ కపెర్నహూము అనే పట్టణంలో విశ్రాంతి దినాన ఆయన యూదుల సమాజ మందిరంలోకి వెళ్ళి వారికి బోధించాడు.
അവർ കഫൎന്നഹൂമിലേക്കു പോയി; ശബ്ബത്തിൽ അവൻ പള്ളിയിൽ ചെന്നു ഉപദേശിച്ചു.
22 ౨౨ ధర్మశాస్త్ర పండితుల్లాగా కాకుండా అధికారం కలిగిన వాడిలాగా వారికి బోధించడం చూసి వారంతా ఆయన ఉపదేశానికి ఆశ్చర్యపడ్డారు.
അവന്റെ ഉപദേശത്തിങ്കൽ അവർ വിസ്മയിച്ചു; അവൻ ശാസ്ത്രിമാരെപ്പോലെയല്ല, അധികാരമുള്ളവനായിട്ടത്രേ അവരെ ഉപദേശിച്ചതു.
അവരുടെ പള്ളിയിൽ അശുദ്ധാത്മാവുള്ള ഒരു മനുഷ്യൻ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു; അവൻ നിലവിളിച്ചു:
24 ౨౪ వాడు, “నజరేతువాడవైన యేసూ, మాతో నీకేం పని? మమ్మల్ని నాశనం చెయ్యడానికి వచ్చావా? నీవెవరివో నాకు తెలుసు. నీవు దేవుని పరిశుద్ధుడివి!” అని కేకలు వేశాడు.
നസറായനായ യേശുവേ, ഞങ്ങൾക്കും നിനക്കും തമ്മിൽ എന്തു? ഞങ്ങളെ നശിപ്പിപ്പാൻ വന്നുവോ? നീ ആർ എന്നു ഞാൻ അറിയുന്നു; ദൈവത്തിന്റെ പരിശുദ്ധൻ തന്നേ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
യേശു അതിനെ ശാസിച്ചു: മിണ്ടരുതു; അവനെ വിട്ടുപോ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
അപ്പോൾ അശുദ്ധാത്മാവു അവനെ ഇഴെച്ചു, ഉറക്കെ നിലവിളിച്ചു അവനെ വിട്ടു പോയി.
27 ౨౭ ప్రజలంతా ఆశ్చర్యపోయారు. వారు, “ఇదేమిటి? అధికార పూర్వకమైన ఈ కొత్త ఉపదేశం! ఈయన దయ్యాలను కూడా ఆజ్ఞాపిస్తున్నాడు! అవి కూడా ఈయన మాటకు లొంగుతున్నాయి!” అని తమలో తాము చర్చించుకున్నారు.
എല്ലാവരും ആശ്ചൎയ്യപ്പെട്ടു: ഇതെന്തു? ഒരു പുതിയ ഉപദേശം; അവൻ അധികാരത്തോടെ അശുദ്ധാത്മാക്കളോടും കല്പിക്കുന്നു; അവ അവനെ അനുസരിക്കയും ചെയ്യുന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു തമ്മിൽ വാദിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.
അവന്റെ ശ്രുതി വേഗത്തിൽ ഗലീലനാടു എങ്ങും പരന്നു.
29 ౨౯ సమాజ మందిరం నుండి బయటకు వచ్చిన వెంటనే వారు సీమోను, అంద్రెయల ఇంట్లో ప్రవేశించారు. యాకోబు, యోహాను కూడా వారితో ఉన్నారు.
അനന്തരം അവർ പള്ളിയിൽ നിന്നു ഇറങ്ങി യാക്കോബും യോഹന്നാനുമായി ശിമോന്റെയും അന്ത്രെയാസിന്റെയും വീട്ടിൽ വന്നു.
അവിടെ ശിമോന്റെ അമ്മാവിയമ്മ പനിപിടിച്ചു കിടന്നിരുന്നു; അവർ അവളെക്കുറിച്ചു അവനോടു പറഞ്ഞു.
31 ౩౧ ఆయన ఆమె దగ్గరికి వచ్చి, ఆమె చెయ్యి పట్టుకుని లేవనెత్తిన వెంటనే జ్వరం ఆమెను వదిలిపోయి, ఆమె అందరికీ సపర్యలు చేయసాగింది.
അവൻ അടുത്തു ചെന്നു അവളെ കൈക്കുപിടിച്ചു എഴുന്നേല്പിച്ചു; പനി അവളെ വിട്ടുമാറി, അവൾ അവരെ ശുശ്രൂഷിച്ചു.
32 ౩౨ సాయంకాలం, సూర్యుడు అస్తమించిన తరువాత ప్రజలు రోగులనూ, దయ్యాలు పట్టిన వారినీ ఆయన దగ్గరికి తీసుకువచ్చారు.
വൈകുന്നേരം സൂൎയ്യൻ അസ്തമിച്ചശേഷം അവർ സകലവിധദീനക്കാരെയും ഭൂതഗ്രസ്തരെയും അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ കൊണ്ടുവന്നു.
പട്ടണം ഒക്കെയും വാതിൽക്കൽ വന്നു കൂടിയിരുന്നു.
34 ౩౪ రకరకాల రోగాలతో ఉన్న వారిని యేసు బాగు చేశాడు. ఎన్నో దయ్యాలను వెళ్ళగొట్టాడు. తాను ఎవరో ఆ దయ్యాలకు తెలుసు గనుక ఆయన వాటిని మాట్లాడనివ్వలేదు.
നാനാവ്യാധികളാൽ വലഞ്ഞിരുന്ന അനേകരെ അവൻ സൌഖ്യമാക്കി, അനേകം ഭൂതങ്ങളെയും പുറത്താക്കി; ഭൂതങ്ങൾ അവനെ അറികകൊണ്ടു സംസാരിപ്പാൻ അവയെ സമ്മതിച്ചില്ല.
35 ౩౫ ఇంకా తెల్లవారక ముందే యేసు లేచి ఆ పట్టణం బయట ఏకాంత ప్రదేశానికి వెళ్ళి అక్కడ ప్రార్థనలో గడిపాడు.
അതികാലത്തു ഇരുട്ടോടെ അവൻ എഴുന്നേറ്റു പുറപ്പെട്ടു ഒരു നിൎജ്ജനസ്ഥലത്തു ചെന്നു പ്രാൎത്ഥിച്ചു.
ശിമോനും കൂടെയുള്ളവരും അവന്റെ പിന്നാലെ ചെന്നു,
അവനെ കണ്ടപ്പോൾ: എല്ലാവരും നിന്നെ അന്വേഷിക്കുന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
38 ౩౮ ఆయన వారితో, “చుట్టుపక్కల గ్రామాలకు వెళ్దాం పదండి. అక్కడ కూడా నేను ప్రకటించాలి. నేను ఈ లోకానికి వచ్చింది అందుకే” అన్నాడు.
അവൻ അവരോടു: ഞാൻ അടുത്ത ഊരുകളിലും പ്രസംഗിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു നാം അവിടേക്കു പോക; ഇതിന്നായിട്ടല്ലോ ഞാൻ പുറപ്പെട്ടു വന്നിരിക്കുന്നതു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
അങ്ങനെ അവൻ ഗലീലയിൽ ഒക്കെയും അവരുടെ പള്ളികളിൽ ചെന്നു പ്രസംഗിക്കയും ഭൂതങ്ങളെ പുറത്താക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു.
40 ౪౦ ఒక కుష్టురోగి ఆయన దగ్గరికి వచ్చి ఆయన ముందు మోకరిల్లి, “నీకిష్టమైతే నన్ను బాగు చేయగలవు” అని ఆయనను బతిమాలాడు.
ഒരു കുഷ്ഠരോഗി അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വന്നു മുട്ടുകുത്തി: നിനക്കു മനസ്സുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ എന്നെ ശുദ്ധമാക്കുവാൻ കഴിയും എന്നു അപേക്ഷിച്ചു.
41 ౪౧ యేసు అతనిపై జాలిపడి, తన చెయ్యి చాపి అతన్ని తాకి “నిన్ను బాగు చేయడం నాకిష్టమే, స్వస్థత పొందు” అన్నాడు.
യേശു മനസ്സലിഞ്ഞു കൈ നീട്ടി അവനെ തൊട്ടു:
മനസ്സുണ്ടു, ശുദ്ധമാക എന്നു പറഞ്ഞ ഉടനെ കുഷ്ഠം വിട്ടുമാറി അവന്നു ശുദ്ധിവന്നു.
യേശു അവനെ അമൎച്ചയായി ശാസിച്ചു:
44 ౪౪ “నువ్వు శుద్ధుడివైనట్టు యాజకునికి కనిపించి మోషే ఆజ్ఞాపించిన ప్రకారం అర్పణలు అర్పించు” అన్నాడు.
നോക്കു, ആരോടും ഒന്നും പറയരുതു; എന്നാൽ ചെന്നു പുരോഹിതന്നു നിന്നെത്തന്നേ കാണിച്ചു, നിന്റെ ശുദ്ധീകരണത്തിന്നു വേണ്ടി മോശെ കല്പിച്ചതു അവൎക്കു സാക്ഷ്യത്തിന്നായി അൎപ്പിക്ക എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു അവനെ വിട്ടയച്ചു.
45 ౪౫ కానీ అతడు వెళ్ళి అందరికీ ఈ విషయం చాటించసాగాడు. ఆ కారణంగా యేసు ఆ పట్టణాల్లో బహిరంగంగా వెళ్ళలేక బయట నిర్జన ప్రదేశాల్లో ఉండిపోవలసి వచ్చింది. అందువలన వివిధ ప్రాంతాల నుండి ప్రజలే ఆయన దగ్గరికి వస్తూ ఉన్నారు.
അവനോ പുറപ്പെട്ടു വളരെ ഘോഷിപ്പാനും വസ്തുത പ്രസംഗിപ്പാനും തുടങ്ങി; അതിനാൽ യേശുവിന്നു പരസ്യമായി പട്ടണത്തിൽ കടപ്പാൻ കഴിയായ്കകൊണ്ടു അവൻ പുറത്തു നിൎജ്ജനസ്ഥലങ്ങളിൽ പാൎത്തു; എല്ലാടത്തു നിന്നും ആളുകൾ അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വന്നു കൂടി.
