Mark 1
1 ([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].
天主子耶穌基督福音的開始，
正如先知依撒意亞書上記載的：「看，我派遣我的使者在你面前，預備你的道路。
3 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].”
曠野中有呼號者的聲音：你們當預備上主的道路，修直他的途徑。」
4 [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].”
洗者若翰便在曠野裏出現，宣講悔改的洗禮，為得罪之赦。
5 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.
猶太全地和耶路撒冷的群眾都出來，到他那裏，承認自己的罪過，在約但河裏受他的洗。
6 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.
若翰穿的是駱駝毛的衣服，腰間束的是皮帶，吃的是蝗蟲與野蜜。
7 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.
他宣告說：「那比我更有力量的，要在我以後來，我連俯身解他的鞋帶也不配。
8 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].”
我以水洗你們，他卻要以聖神洗你們。」
9 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].
在那些日子裏，耶穌加利肋亞納匝肋來，在約旦河裏受了若翰的洗。
10 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.
他剛從水裏上來，就看見天裂開了，聖神有如鴿子降在他上面；
11 And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
又有聲音從天上說：「你是我的愛子，我因你而喜悅。
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
聖神立刻催他到曠野裏去。
13 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.
他在曠野裏，四十天之久，受撒殫的試探，與一起，並有天使服侍他。
14 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.
若翰被監禁後，耶穌來到加利肋亞，宣講天主的福音，
15 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])!”
說：「時期已滿，天主的國臨近了，你們悔改，信從福音罷!」
16 [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.
當耶穌沿著加里肋亞海行走時，看見西滿和西滿的兄弟安德肋在海裏撒網，他們原是漁夫。
17 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].
耶穌向他們說：「來跟隨我，我要使你們成為漁人的漁夫。」
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
他們便立刻拋下了網，跟隨了他。
19 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.
耶穌向前行了不遠，看見載伯德的兒子雅各伯和他的弟弟若望，正在船上修網。
20 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.
耶穌遂立即召叫他們；他們就把自己的父親載伯德和傭工們留在船上，跟隨他去了。
21 [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].
他們進了葛法翁；一到安息日，耶穌就進入會堂教訓人。
22 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.
人都驚奇他的教訓，因為他教訓他們正像有權威似的，不像經師們一樣。
23 Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
當時，在他們的會堂裏，正有一個附邪魔的人，他喊叫
24 “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!”
說：「納匝肋人耶穌! 我們與你有什麼相干﹖你竟來毀滅我們! 我佑道你是誰，你是天主的聖者。」
25 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
耶穌叱責他說：「不要作聲! 從他身上出去!」
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
邪魔使那人拘攣了一陣，大喊一聲，就從他身上出去了。
27 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]!”
眾人大為驚愕，以致彼此詢問說：「這是怎麼一回事﹖這是新的教訓，並具有權威；他連給邪魔出命，邪魔也聽從他。」
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
他的聲譽遂即傳遍了加里肋亞附近各處。
29 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.
他一出會堂，就同雅各伯和若望來到了西滿和安德肋的家裏。
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
那時，西滿的岳母正躺著發燒；有人就向耶穌提起她來，
31 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].
耶穌上前去，握住她的手，扶起她來，熱症隨即離開了她；她就伺候他們。
32 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.
到了晚上，日落之後，人把所有患病的和附魔的，都帶到他跟前，
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
閤城的人都聚在門前。
34 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].
耶穌治好了許多患各種病症的人，驅逐了許多魔鬼，並且不許魔鬼說話，因為魔鬼認識他。
35 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.
清晨，天還很黑，耶穌就起身出去，到荒野的地方在那裏祈禱。
36 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,
西滿和同他在一起的人都去追尋他，
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
找到了他，就向他說：「眾人都找你呢! 」
38 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!”
耶穌對他們說：「讓我們到別處去，到鄰近的村鎮去罷! 叫我也在那裏宣講，因為我是為這事出來的。」
39 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].
他遂到加里肋亞各地，在他們的會堂裏宣講，並驅逐魔鬼。
40 [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!”
有一個癩病人來到耶穌跟前，跪下求他說：「你若願意，就能潔淨我。」
41 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]!”
耶穌動了憐憫的心，就伸手撫摸他，向他說：「我願意，你潔淨了罷!」
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
癩病立時脫離了他，他就潔淨了。
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
然後耶穌嚴厲警告他，立即催他走，
44 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].”
並向他說：「當心! 什麼也不可告訴人，但去叫司祭檢驗你，並為你的潔淨，奉獻梅瑟所規定的，給他們當作證據。」
45 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.
但那人一出去，便開始極力宣揚，把這事傳揚開了，以致耶穌不能再公然進城，只好留在外邊荒野的地方；但人們卻從各處到他跟前來。
