Marcos 1
1 Princípio do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo, 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 Como está escrito nos profetas: eis que eu envio o meu anjo ante a tua face, o qual preparará o teu caminho diante de ti.
3 Voz do que clama no deserto: preparai o caminho do Senhor, endireitai as suas veredas.
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 Estava João batizando no deserto, e pregando o batismo do arrependimento, para remissão 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 E toda a província da Judeia e os de Jerusalém iam ter com ele; e todos eram batizados por ele no rio Jordão, confessando os seus pecados.
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 E João andava vestido de pelos de camelo, e com um cinto de couro em redor de seus lombos, e 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 E pregava, dizendo: Após mim vem aquele que é mais forte do que eu, ao qual não sou digno de, encurvando-me, desatar a correia das suas alparcas.
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, em verdade, tenho-vos batizado com água; ele, porém, vos 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 E aconteceu naqueles dias que Jesus, tendo ido de Nazareth, da Galiléia, foi batizado por João, no 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 E, logo que saiu da água, viu os céus abertos, e o espírito, que como pomba descia 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 E ouviu-se uma voz dos céus, que dizia: Tu és o meu Filho amado em quem me comprazo.
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 E logo o espírito o impeliu para o deserto,
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 E esteve ali no deserto quarenta dias, tentado por Satanás. E estava com as feras, e os anjos o serviam.
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 E, depois que João foi entregue à prisão, veio Jesus para a Galiléia, pregando o Evangelho do reino 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 E dizendo: O tempo está cumprido, e o reino de Deus está próximo. Arrependei-vos, e crede 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 E, andando junto do mar da Galiléia, viu Simão, e André, seu irmão, que lançavam a rede ao mar, porque eram pescadores.
[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 E Jesus lhes disse: Vinde após mim, e eu farei que sejais pescadores de homens.
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 E, deixando logo as suas redes, o seguiram.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 E, passando dali um pouco mais adiante, viu Thiago, filho de Zebedeo, e João, seu irmão, que estavam no barco concertando as 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 E logo os chamou. E eles, deixando o seu pai Zebedeo no barco com os jornaleiros, foram após ele.
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 E entraram em Cafarnaum, e, logo no sábado, entrando na sinagoga, ensinava.
[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 E maravilharam-se da sua doutrina, porque os ensinava como tendo autoridade, e não como os escribas.
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 E estava na sinagoga deles um homem com um espírito imundo, e exclamou, dizendo:
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 Ah! que temos contigo, Jesus nazareno? Vieste destruir-nos? Bem sei quem és: o Santo de Deus.
“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 E repreendeu-o Jesus, dizendo: Cala-te, e sai dele.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Então o espírito imundo, despedaçando-o, e clamando com grande voz, saiu dele.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 E todos se admiraram, a ponto de perguntarem entre si, dizendo: Que é isto? que nova doutrina é esta? pois até com autoridade ordena aos espíritos imundos, e eles 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 E logo correu a sua fama por toda a província da Galiléia.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 E logo, saindo da sinagoga, foram a casa de Simão e de André com Thiago 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 E a sogra de Simão estava deitada com febre; e logo lhe falaram 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 Então, chegando-se a ela, tomou-a pela mão, e levantou-a: e logo a febre a deixou, e servia-os.
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 E, tendo chegado a tarde, quando já se estava pondo o sol, trouxeram-lhe todos os que se achavam enfermos, e os endemoninhados.
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 E toda a cidade se ajuntou à porta.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 E curou muitos que se achavam enfermos de diversas enfermidades, e expulsou muitos demônios, porém não deixava falar os demônios, porque o conheciam.
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 E, levantando-se de manhã muito cedo, fazendo ainda escuro, saiu, e foi para um lugar deserto, e ali orava.
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 E seguiram-no Simão e os que com ele estavam.
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 E, achando-o, lhe disseram: Todos te buscam.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 E ele lhes disse: Vamos às aldeias vizinhas, para que eu ali também pregue; porque para isso 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 E pregava nas sinagogas deles por toda a Galiléia, e expulsava 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 E aproximou-se dele um leproso, rogando-lhe, e pondo-se de joelhos diante dele, e dizendo-lhe: Se queres, podes limpar-me.
[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 E Jesus, movido de grande compaixão, estendeu a mão, e tocou-o, e disse-lhe: Quero; sê limpo.
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 E, tendo ele dito isto, logo a lepra desapareceu, e ficou limpo.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 E, ameaçando-o, logo o despediu de si,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 E disse-lhe: Olha, não digas nada a ninguém; porém vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote, e oferece pela tua purificação o que Moisés determinou, para lhes servir de testemunho.
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, tendo ele saído, começou a apregoar muitas coisas, e a divulgar o que acontecera; de sorte que Jesus já não podia entrar publicamente na cidade, mas conservava-se fora em lugares desertos: e de todas as partes iam ter com ele.
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.
