Marku 1
1 Fillimi i Ungjillit të Jezu Krishtit, Birit të Perëndisë.
([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 Ashtu si është shkruar tek profetët: “Ja, unë po dërgoj lajmëtarin tim para fytyrës tënde, i cili do të përgatit udhën tënde përpara teje.
3 Ka një zë që bërtet në shkretëtirë: “Përgatitni udhën e Zotit, drejtoni shtigjet e tij””.
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 Gjoni erdhi në shkretëtirë duke pagëzuar dhe duke predikuar një pagëzim pendese për faljen e mëkateve.
[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 Dhe gjithë vendi i Judës dhe ata nga Jeruzalemi shkonin tek ai, dhe pagëzoheshin të gjithë nga ai në lumin Jordan, duke rrëfyer mëkatet e tyre.
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 Por Gjoni ishte i veshur me lesh deveje, mbante një brez lëkure përreth ijëve dhe ushqehej me karkaleca dhe me mjaltë të egër.
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 Ai predikonte duke thënë: “Pas meje po vjen një që është më i fortë se unë. Unë nuk jam i denjë as të ulem para tij për t’i zgjidhur lidhësat e sandaleve të tij.
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 Unë ju pagëzova me ujë, ndërsa ai do t’ju pagëzojë me Frymën e Shenjtë”.
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 Dhe ndodhi në ato ditë që Jezusi erdhi nga Nazareti i Galilesë dhe u pagëzua nga Gjoni në Jordan.
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 Dhe menjëherë, kur po dilte nga uji, pa se qiejtë po hapeshin dhe Fryma po zbriste mbi të si një pëllumb.
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 Dhe një zë erdhi nga qielli: “Ti je Biri im i dashur në të cilin jam kënaqur.
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Fill pas kësaj, Fryma e Shenjtë e çoi në shkretëtirë;
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 dhe qëndroi në shkretëtirë dyzet ditë, i tunduar nga Satanai. Ishte bashkë me bishat dhe engjëjt i shërbenin.
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 Dhe mbasi e burgosën Gjonin, Jezusi erdhi në Galile duke predikuar ungjillin e mbretërisë së Perëndisë,
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 dhe duke thënë: “U mbush koha dhe mbretëria e Perëndisë është afër. Pendohuni dhe besoni ungjillin”.
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 Ndërsa po kalonte gjatë bregut të detit të Galilesë, ai pa Simonin dhe Andrean, vëllanë e tij, të cilët po hidhnin rrjetën në det sepse ishin peshkatarë.
[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 Dhe Jezusi u tha atyre: “Ndiqmëni dhe unë do t’ju bëj peshkatarë njerëzish”.
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 Dhe ata i lanë menjëherë rrjetat dhe e ndoqën.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Mbasi eci edhe pak, pa Jakobin, bir in e Zebedeut dhe Gjonin, vëllanë e tij, të cilët ndreqnin rrjetat e tyre në barkë.
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 Dhe i thirri menjëherë; dhe ata e lanë atin e tyre Zebedeun në barkë me mëditësit dhe e ndoqën.
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 Pastaj hynë në Kapernaum dhe menjëherë, ditën e shtunë, ai hyri në sinagogë dhe i mësonte njerëzit.
[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 Dhe njerëzit habiteshin nga doktrina e tij, sepse ai i mësonte si një që ka pushtet dhe jo si skribët.
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 Atëherë në sinagogën e tyre ishte një njeri i pushtuar nga një frymë e ndyrë, i cili filloi të bërtasë,
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 duke thënë: “Ç’ka midis nesh dhe teje, o Jezus Nazareas? A erdhe të na shkatë-rrosh? Unë e di kush je: I Shenjti i Perëndisë”.
“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 Por Jezusi e qortoi duke thënë: “Hesht dhe dil prej tij!”.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Dhe fryma e ndyrë, mbasi e sfiliti, dhe duke lëshuar një britmë të madhe doli prej tij.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Dhe të gjithë u mahnitën aq shumë sa pyesnin njeri tjetrin duke thënë: “Vallë ç’është kjo? Cfarë doktrinë e re qënka kjo? Ky i urdhëroka me autoritet edhe frymërat e ndyra, dhe ata i binden”.
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 Dhe fama e tij u përhap menjëherë në mbarë krahinën përreth Galilesë.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Sapo dolën nga sinagoga, erdhën në shtëpinë e Simonit dhe të Andreas, me Jakobin dhe Gjonin.
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 Vjehrra e Simonit ishte në shtrat me ethe dhe ata menjëherë i folën për të.
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 Atëhërë ai u afrua, e kapi për dore dhe e ngriti. Menjëherë ethet e lanë dhe ajo nisi t’u shërbejë.
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 Në mbrëmje, pas perëndimit të diellit, i prunë të gjithë të sëmurit dhe të idemonizuarit.
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 Dhe gjithë qyteti ishte mbledhur përpara derës.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Ai shëroi shumë, që lëngonin nga sëmundje të ndryshme, dhe dëboi shumë demonë; dhe nuk i lejoi demonët të flasin, sepse ata e njihnin.
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 Pastaj, të nesërmen në mëngjes, kur ende ishte shumë errët, Jezusi u ngrit, doli dhe shkoi në një vend të vetmuar dhe atje u lut.
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 Dhe Simoni dhe ata që ishin me të e kërkonin.
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 Dhe, kur e gjetën, i thanë: “Të gjithë po të kerkojnë!”.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Dhe ai u tha atyre: “Lë të shkojmë në fshatrat e afërm që të predikoj edhe atje, sepse për këtë kam ardhur”.
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 Dhe ai e përshkoi gjithë Galilenë duke predikuar nëpër sinagogat e tyre dhe duke dëbuar demonët.
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 Dhe erdhi tek ai një lebroz i cili, duke iu lutur, ra në gjunj dhe i tha: “Po të duash, ti mund të më pastrosh”.
[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 Dhe Jezusi, duke e mëshiruar, shtriu dorën, e preku dhe i tha: “Po, e dua, qofsh pastruar!”.
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 Dhe, posa tha këto, menjëherë lebra e la dhe u shërua.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Pastaj, mbasi e paralajmëroi rreptësisht, menjëherë e largoi,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 duke i thënë: “Ruhu se i tregon gjë ndokujt, por shko, paraqitu te prifti dhe ofro për pastrimin tënd sa ka urdhëruar Moisiu, si dëshmi për ta”.
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 Por ai, sapo doli, filloi ta shpallë dhe ta përhapë fort faktin, sa që Jezusi nuk mund të hynte më publikisht në qytet, por qëndronte përjashta nëpër vende të vetmuara; dhe nga çdo anë vinin tek ai.
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.
