Markus 1
1 Detta är begynnelsen af Jesu Christi, Guds Sons, Evangelio;
([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 Såsom skrifvet är i Propheterna: Si, jag sänder min Ängel framför ditt ansigte, hvilken bereda skall din väg för dig;
3 Ens ropandes röst är i öknene: Bereder Herrans väg; görer hans stigar rätta.
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 Johannes var i öknene, döpte, och predikade bättringenes döpelse, till syndernas förlåtelse.
[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 Och till honom gingo ut hela Judiska landet, och de utaf Jerusalem; och läto sig alle döpa af honom i Jordans flod, och bekände sina synder.
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 Och Johannes var klädd med camelahår, och med en lädergjording om sina länder; och åt gräshoppor och vildhannog;
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 Och predikade, och sade: En kommer efter mig, som starkare är än jag, hvilkens skotvänger jag icke värdig är att nederfalla och upplösa.
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 Jag döper eder med vatten; men han skall döpa eder med dem Helga Anda.
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 Och det begaf sig i de dagar, att Jesus kom utaf Galileen ifrå Nazareth, och lät sig döpa af Johanne i 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 Och straxt steg han upp utu vattnet, och såg himlarna öppnas, och Andan, såsom en dufvo, nederkomma öfver honom.
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 Och en röst kom af himmelen: Du äst min käre Son, i hvilkom mig väl behagar.
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Och Anden dref honom straxt uti öknena;
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Och han var i öknene i fyratio dagar, och frestades af Satana; och var med vilddjuren; och Änglarna tjente honom.
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 Men sedan Johannes vardt fången, kom Jesus uti Galileen, och predikade Evangelium om Guds rike,
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 Sägandes: Tiden är fullkomnad, och Guds rike är för handene; bättrer eder, och tror Evangelio.
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 När han gick utmed det Galileiska hafvet, såg han Simon, och Andream, hans broder, kasta sin nät i hafvet; ty de voro fiskare.
[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 Och Jesus sade till dem: Följer mig, och jag vill göra eder till menniskofiskare.
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 Straxt gåfvo de sin nät öfver, och följde honom.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Och då han gick dädan litet fram bätter, såg han Jacobum, Zebedei son, och Johannem, hans broder, att de i båtenom byggde sin nät.
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 Och straxt kallade han dem; då öfvergåfvo de sin fader, Zebedeum, uti båten, med legodrängarna, och följde honom.
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 Och de gingo till Capernaum; och straxt, om Sabbatherna, gick han in i Synagogon och lärde.
[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 Och de förundrade storliga på hans lärdom; förty han lärde väldeliga, och icke såsom de Skriftlärde.
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 Och i deras Synagogo var en menniska besatt med den orena andan; och han ropade,
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 Och sade: Ack! hvad hafve vi med dig beställa, Jesu Nazarene? Äst du kommen till att förderfva oss? Jag vet ho du äst, nämliga den Guds Helige.
“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 Och Jesus näpste honom, sägandes: Tig, och gack ut af menniskone.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Då ref den orene anden honom, och ropade högt, och for ut af honom.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Och alle förundrade sig svårliga, så att de sporde hvarannan till, och sade: Hvad är detta? Hvad ny lärdom är detta? Ty han bjuder de orena andar med väldighet, och de lyda honom.
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 Och hans rykte gick straxt allt omkring i Galilee gränsor.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Och de gingo straxt utu Synagogon, och kommo uti Simons och Andree hus, med Jacobo och Johanne.
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 Och Simons svära låg sjuk i skälfvo; och straxt sade de honom om henne.
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 Då gick han till och reste henne upp, och tog henne vid handena; och i det samma öfvergaf skälfvosjukan henne, och hon gick sedan och tjente dem.
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 Om aftonen, då solen nedergången var, hade de till honom allahanda sjuka, och dem som qvaldes af djeflar;
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 Och hele staden var församlad för dörrena.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Och han gjorde många helbregda, som kranke voro af allahanda sjukdom; och dref ut många djeflar, och tillstadde icke djeflarna tala; ty de kände honom.
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 Och om morgonen, ganska bittida för dag, stod han upp och gick ut; och Jesus gick bort uti ett öde rum, och der bad han.
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 Och Simon kom efter farandes, och de med honom voro.
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 Och då de funno honom, sade de till honom: Alle söka dig.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Sade han dem: Låt oss gå uti nästa städerna, att jag ock der predikar; ty fördenskull är jag kommen.
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 Och han predikade i deras Synagogor, öfver hela Galileen, och utdref djeflar.
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 Och till honom kom en spitelsk man, och bad honom, föll på knä för honom, och sade till honom: Vill du, så kan du göra mig ren.
[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 Då varkunnade sig Jesus öfver honom, och uträckte sina hand, och tog uppå honom, och sade: Jag vill, var ren.
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 Och när han det sagt hade, gick straxt spitelskan af honom, och han vardt ren.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Och Jesus hotade honom, och sänden straxt ifrå sig;
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 Och sade honom: Se till, att du säger ingom detta; utan gack bort, och visa dig Prestenom, och offra, för din rening, det Mose budit hafver, till ett vittnesbörd öfver dem.
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 Men då han utgången var, begynte han förkunna mycket, och berykta det som skedt var; så att han icke nu mer kunde uppenbarliga gå in uti staden, utan blef ute i öde rum; och de kommo till honom af alla ändar.
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.
