Markus 1
1 Inilah Kabar Baik tentang Yesus Kristus, Anak Allah.
([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 Kabar Baik itu mulai seperti yang ditulis oleh Nabi Yesaya, begini, "'Inilah utusan-Ku,' kata Allah; 'Aku mengutus dia lebih dahulu daripada-Mu, supaya ia membuka jalan untuk-Mu.'
3 Ada orang berseru-seru di padang pasir, 'Siapkanlah jalan untuk Tuhan; ratakanlah jalan-jalan yang akan dilewati-Nya.'"
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 Seperti yang tertulis itu, begitulah juga muncul Yohanes di padang gurun. Ia membaptis orang dan menyampaikan berita dari Allah. "Kamu harus bertobat dari dosa-dosamu dan harus dibaptis, supaya Allah mengampuni kamu," begitu kata Yohanes.
[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 Semua orang dari negeri Yudea dan kota Yerusalem pergi mendengar Yohanes. Mereka mengaku dosa-dosa mereka, dan Yohanes membaptis mereka di Sungai Yordan.
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 Yohanes memakai pakaian dari bulu unta. Ikat pinggangnya dari kulit, dan makanannya belalang dan madu hutan.
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 Ia mengabarkan berita ini, "Nanti sesudah saya, akan datang orang yang lebih besar daripada saya. Untuk tunduk membuka tali sepatu-Nya pun, saya tidak layak.
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 Saya membaptis kamu dengan air, tetapi Ia akan membaptis kamu dengan Roh Allah."
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 Pada waktu itu Yesus datang dari Nazaret di daerah Galilea, dan Yohanes membaptis Dia di Sungai Yordan.
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 Begitu Yesus keluar dari sungai itu, Ia melihat langit terbuka dan Roh Allah turun seperti burung merpati ke atas-Nya.
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 Kemudian terdengar suara Allah mengatakan, "Engkaulah Anak-Ku yang Kukasihi. Engkau menyenangkan hati-Ku."
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Langsung sesudah itu Roh Allah membuat Yesus pergi ke padang gurun.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Empat puluh hari Ia berada di situ, dicobai oleh Iblis. Binatang-binatang liar ada juga bersama-sama dengan Dia di situ, dan malaikat-malaikat melayani Dia.
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 Setelah Yohanes dipenjarakan, Yesus pergi ke Galilea, dan mengabarkan Kabar Baik dari Allah di sana.
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 Kata-Nya, "Allah segera akan mulai memerintah. Bertobatlah dari dosa-dosamu, dan percayalah akan Kabar Baik yang dari Allah!"
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 Ketika Yesus berjalan di pantai Danau Galilea, Ia melihat dua nelayan, yaitu Simon dan adiknya Andreas. Mereka sedang menangkap ikan di danau itu dengan jala.
[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 Yesus berkata kepada mereka, "Ikutlah Aku. Aku akan mengajar kalian menjala orang."
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 Langsung mereka meninggalkan jala mereka lalu mengikuti Yesus.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Yesus berjalan terus, lalu melihat pula dua orang bersaudara yang lain, yaitu Yakobus dan Yohanes, anak-anak Zebedeus. Mereka berada di dalam perahu, dan sedang memperbaiki jala mereka.
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 Yesus langsung memanggil mereka. Dan mereka meninggalkan ayah mereka di dalam perahu bersama-sama dengan orang-orang gajiannya. Lalu mereka pergi mengikuti Yesus.
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 Yesus dan pengikut-pengikut-Nya tiba di kota Kapernaum. Pada hari Sabat berikutnya, Yesus masuk ke dalam rumah ibadat dan mulai mengajar.
[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 Orang-orang yang mendengar-Nya kagum akan cara-Nya Ia mengajar. Sebab, Ia mengajar dengan wibawa, tidak seperti guru-guru agama.
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 Pada waktu itu seorang yang kemasukan roh jahat masuk ke dalam rumah ibadat, dan berteriak,
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 "Hai Yesus, orang Nazaret, Engkau mau buat apa dengan kami? Engkau datang untuk membinasakan kami? Saya tahu siapa Engkau: Engkaulah utusan yang suci dari Allah!"
“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 "Diam!" bentak Yesus kepada roh itu, "keluarlah dari orang ini!"
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Maka roh jahat itu menggoncang-goncangkan orang itu keras-keras, kemudian keluar dari orang itu sambil berteriak.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Semua orang heran sekali, sehingga mereka berkata satu sama lain, "Wah, apa ini? Suatu pengajaran yang baru! Dengan wibawa dan kuasa Ia memerintahkan roh-roh jahat keluar, dan mereka taat kepada-Nya!"
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 Maka berita tentang Yesus tersebar dengan cepat ke seluruh daerah Galilea.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Yesus dan pengikut-pengikut-Nya meninggalkan rumah ibadat itu, dan pergi ke rumah Simon dan Andreas. Yakobus dan Yohanes pergi juga bersama mereka.
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 Ibu mertua Simon sedang sakit demam di tempat tidur. Jadi waktu Yesus dan pengikut-pengikut-Nya masuk ke rumah itu, Yesus diberitahukan tentang hal itu.
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 Maka Yesus pergi kepada ibu mertua Simon, dan memegang tangannya, lalu menolong dia bangun. Demamnya hilang, dan ia pun mulai melayani mereka.
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 Petang harinya, sesudah matahari terbenam, orang-orang membawa kepada Yesus semua orang yang sakit dan yang kemasukan roh jahat.
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 Seluruh penduduk kota itu berkerumun di depan rumah itu.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Lalu Yesus menyembuhkan banyak orang yang menderita bermacam-macam penyakit, dan mengusir juga banyak roh jahat. Ia tidak mengizinkan roh-roh jahat itu berbicara, sebab mereka tahu siapa Dia.
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 Keesokan harinya, waktu masih subuh, Yesus bangun lalu meninggalkan rumah. Ia pergi ke tempat yang sunyi di luar kota, dan berdoa di sana.
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 Tetapi Simon dan teman-temannya pergi mencari Dia.
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 Dan setelah mereka menemukan-Nya, mereka berkata, "Semua orang sedang mencari Bapak."
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Tetapi Yesus menjawab, "Mari kita meneruskan perjalanan kita ke kota-kota lain di sekitar sini. Aku harus berkhotbah di sana juga, sebab itulah maksudnya Aku kemari."
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 Karena itu Yesus pergi ke mana-mana di seluruh Galilea, dan berkhotbah di rumah-rumah ibadat serta mengusir roh-roh jahat.
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 Seorang yang berpenyakit kulit yang mengerikan datang kepada Yesus. Orang itu berlutut, dan berkata, "Kalau Bapak mau, Bapak dapat menyembuhkan saya."
[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 Yesus kasihan kepada orang itu. Jadi, Ia menjamah orang itu sambil berkata, "Aku mau, sembuhlah!"
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 Saat itu juga penyakitnya hilang dan ia sembuh.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Lalu Yesus menyuruh dia pergi dengan peringatan ini,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 "Awas, jangan ceritakan kepada siapa pun, tetapi pergilah kepada imam, dan minta dia untuk memastikan engkau sudah sembuh. Lalu untuk penyembuhanmu itu, persembahkanlah kurban menurut yang diperintahkan Musa, sebagai bukti kepada orang-orang bahwa engkau sungguh-sungguh sudah sembuh."
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 Tetapi orang itu pergi, dan terus-menerus menceritakan kejadian itu di mana-mana sampai Yesus tidak dapat masuk kota dengan terang-terangan. Ia hanya tinggal di luar kota di tempat-tempat sunyi. Namun orang terus saja datang kepada-Nya dari mana-mana.
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.
