Mark 1 – NIRV & NAV

New International Reader’s Version

Mark 1:1-45

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

1This is the beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God. 2Long ago Isaiah the prophet wrote,

“I will send my messenger ahead of you.

He will prepare your way.” (Malachi 3:1)

3“A messenger is calling out in the desert,

‘Prepare the way for the Lord.

Make straight paths for him.’ ” (Isaiah 40:3)

4And so John the Baptist appeared in the desert. He preached that people should be baptized and turn away from their sins. Then God would forgive them. 5All the people from the countryside of Judea went out to him. All the people from Jerusalem went too. When they admitted they had sinned, John baptized them in the Jordan River. 6John wore clothes made out of camel’s hair. He had a leather belt around his waist. And he ate locusts and wild honey. 7Here is what John was preaching. “After me, there is someone coming who is more powerful than I am. I’m not good enough to bend down and untie his sandals. 8I baptize you with water. But he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

Jesus Is Baptized and Tempted

9At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee. John baptized Jesus in the Jordan River. 10Jesus was coming up out of the water. Just then he saw heaven being torn open. Jesus saw the Holy Spirit coming down on him like a dove. 11A voice spoke to him from heaven. It said, “You are my Son, and I love you. I am very pleased with you.”

12At once the Holy Spirit sent Jesus out into the desert. 13He was in the desert 40 days. There Satan tempted him. The wild animals didn’t harm Jesus. Angels took care of him.

Jesus Preaches the Good News

14After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee. He preached the good news of God. 15“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Turn away from your sins and believe the good news!”

Jesus Chooses His First Disciples

16One day Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee. There he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the lake. They were fishermen. 17“Come and follow me,” Jesus said. “I will send you out to fish for people.” 18At once they left their nets and followed him.

19Then Jesus walked a little farther. As he did, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat preparing their nets. 20Right away he called out to them. They left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men. Then they followed Jesus.

Jesus Drives Out an Evil Spirit

21Jesus and those with him went to Capernaum. When the Sabbath day came, he went into the synagogue. There he began to teach. 22The people were amazed at his teaching. That’s because he taught them like one who had authority. He did not talk like the teachers of the law. 23Just then a man in their synagogue cried out. He was controlled by an evil spirit. He said, 24“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are the Holy One of God!”

25“Be quiet!” said Jesus firmly. “Come out of him!” 26The evil spirit shook the man wildly. Then it came out of him with a scream.

27All the people were amazed. So they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching! And with so much authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits, and they obey him.” 28News about Jesus spread quickly all over Galilee.

Jesus Heals Many People

29Jesus and those with him left the synagogue. Right away they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed with a fever. They told Jesus about her right away. 31So he went to her. He took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her. Then she began to serve them.

32That evening after sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who were sick. They also brought all who were controlled by demons. 33All the people in town gathered at the door. 34Jesus healed many of them. They had all kinds of sicknesses. He also drove out many demons. But he would not let the demons speak, because they knew who he was.

Jesus Prays in a Quiet Place

35It was very early in the morning and still dark. Jesus got up and left the house. He went to a place where he could be alone. There he prayed. 36Simon and his friends went to look for Jesus. 37When they found him, they called out, “Everyone is looking for you!”

38Jesus replied, “Let’s go somewhere else. I want to go to the nearby towns. I must preach there also. That is why I have come.” 39So he traveled all around Galilee. He preached in their synagogues. He also drove out demons.

Jesus Heals a Man Who Had a Skin Disease

40A man who had a skin disease came to Jesus. On his knees he begged Jesus. He said, “If you are willing to make me ‘clean,’ you can do it.”

41Jesus became angry. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing to do it,” Jesus said. “Be ‘clean’!” 42Right away the disease left the man, and he was “clean.”

43Jesus sent him away at once. He gave the man a strong warning. 44“Don’t tell this to anyone,” he said. “Go and show yourself to the priest. Offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded. It will be a witness to the priest and the people that you are ‘clean.’ ” 45But the man went out and started talking right away. He spread the news to everyone. So Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. He stayed outside in lonely places. But people still came to him from everywhere.

إنجيل مرقس 1:1-45

يوحنا المعمدان يعد الطريق

1هَذِهِ بِدَايَةُ إِنْجِيلِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ ابْنِ اللهِ: 2كَمَا كُتِبَ فِي كِتَابِ إِشَعْيَاءَ:

«هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ قُدَّامَكَ مَلاكِي الَّذِي يُعِدُّ لَكَ الطَّرِيقَ؛ 3صَوْتُ مُنَادٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ: أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ، وَاجْعَلُوا سُبُلَهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةً!» 4فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ يُنَادِي بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ التَّوْبَةِ لِمَغْفِرَةِ الْخَطَايَا. 5وَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ أَهْلُ مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَأَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ جَمِيعاً، فَكَانُوا يَتَعَمَّدُونَ عَلَى يَدِهِ فِي نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ. 6وَكَانَ يُوحَنَّا يَلْبَسُ ثَوْباً مِنْ وَبَرِ الْجِمَالِ، وَيَلُفُّ وَسَطَهُ بِحِزَامٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ، وَيَأْكُلُ الْجَرَادَ وَالْعَسَلَ الْبَرِّيَّ. 7وَكَانَ يَعِظُ قَائِلاً: «سَيَأْتِي بَعْدِي مَنْ هُوَ أَقْدَرُ مِنِّي، مَنْ لَا أَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَنْحَنِيَ لأَحُلَّ رِبَاطَ حِذَائِهِ. 8أَنَا عَمَّدْتُكُمْ بِالْمَاءِ؛ أَمَّا هُوَ فَسَوْفَ يُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ».

معمودية يسوع وتجربة الشيطان له

9فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ جَاءَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ النَّاصِرَةِ بِمِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، وَتَعَمَّدَ فِي نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ عَلَى يَدِ يُوحَنَّا. 10وَبَمُجَرَّدِ أَنْ صَعِدَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، رَأَى السَّمَاوَاتِ قَدِ انْفَتَحَتْ، وَالرُّوحَ القُدُسَ هَابِطاً عَلَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ حَمَامَةٌ، 11وَإذَا صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ يَقُولُ: «أَنْتَ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبُ، بِكَ سُرِرْتُ كُلَّ سُرُورٍ!»

12وَفِي الْحَالِ اقْتَادَ الرُّوحُ يَسُوعَ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، 13فَقَضَى فِيهَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً وَالشَّيْطَانُ يُجَرِّبُهُ. وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْوُحُوشِ وَمَلائِكَةٌ تَخْدِمُهُ.

يسوع يعلن بشارة الله

14وَبَعْدَمَا أُلْقِيَ الْقَبْضُ عَلَى يُوحَنَّا، انْطَلَقَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، يُعْلِنُ بِشَارَةَ اللهِ قَائِلاً: 15«قَدِ اكْتَمَلَ الزَّمَانُ وَاقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ. فَتُوبُوا وَآمِنُوا بِالإِنْجِيلِ!»

16وَفِيمَا كَانَ يَسُوعُ يَمْشِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ بُحَيْرَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، رَأَى سِمْعَانَ وَأَخَاهُ أَنْدَرَاوُسَ يُلْقِيَانِ الشَّبَكَةَ فِي الْبُحَيْرَةِ، فَقَدْ كَانَا صَيَّادَيْنِ. 17فَقَالَ لَهُمَا يَسُوعُ: «هَيَّا اتْبَعَانِي، فَأَجْعَلَكُمَا صَيَّادَيْنِ لِلنَّاسِ!» 18فَتَرَكَا شِبَاكَهُمَا وَتَبِعَاهُ. 19ثُمَّ سَارَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ قَلِيلاً، فَرَأَى يَعْقُوبَ بْنَ زَبَدِي وَيُوحَنَّا أَخَاهُ فِي الْقَارِبِ يُصْلِحَانِ الشِّبَاكَ، 20فَدَعَاهُمَا فِي الْحَالِ لِيَتْبَعَاهُ، فَتَرَكَا أَبَاهُمَا زَبَدِي فِي الْقَارِبِ مَعَ الأُجَرَاءِ، وَتَبِعَاهُ.

يسوع يطرد روحاً نجساً

21ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى كَفْرَنَاحُومَ. فَدَخَلَ حَالاً، فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ، إِلَى الْمَجْمَعِ وَأَخَذَ يُعَلِّمُ. 22فَذُهِلَ الْحَاضِرُونَ مِنْ تَعْلِيمِهِ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ كَصَاحِبِ سُلْطَانٍ وَلَيْسَ كَالْكَتَبَةِ. 23وَكَانَ فِي مَجْمَعِهِمْ رَجُلٌ يَسْكُنُهُ رُوحٌ نَجِسٌ، فَصَرَخَ 24وَقَالَ: «مَا شَأْنُكَ بِنَا يَا يَسُوعُ النَّاصِرِيُّ؟ أَجِئْتَ لِتُهْلِكَنَا؟ أَنَا أَعْرِفُ مَنْ أَنْتَ. أَنْتَ قُدُّوسُ اللهِ!» 25فَزَجَرَهُ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «اخْرَسْ وَاخْرُجْ مِنْهُ!» 26فَطَرَحَ الرُّوحُ النَّجِسُ الرَّجُلَ، وَصَرَخَ صَرْخَةً عَالِيَةً، وَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ. 27فَدُهِشَ الْجَمِيعُ حَتَّى أَخَذُوا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «مَا هَذَا؟ إِنَّهُ تَعْلِيمٌ جَدِيدٌ، يُلْقَى بسُلْطَانٍ، فَحَتَّى الأَرْوَاحُ النَّجِسَةُ يَأْمُرُهَا فَتُطِيعُهُ!» 28وَفِي الْحَالِ انْتَشَرَ خَبَرُ يَسُوعَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ مِنَ الْمِنْطَقَةِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لِلْجَلِيلِ.

يسوع يشفي كثيرين

29وَحَالَمَا غَادَرُوا الْمَجْمَعَ، دَخَلُوا بَيْتَ سِمْعَانَ وَأَنْدَرَاوُسَ، وَمَعَهُمْ يَعْقُوبُ وَيُوحَنَّا. 30وَكَانَتْ حَمَاةُ سِمْعَانَ طَرِيحَةَ الْفِرَاشِ، تُعَانِي مِنَ الْحُمَّى. فَفِي الْحَالِ كَلَّمُوا يَسُوعَ بِشَأْنِهَا. 31فَاقْتَرَبَ إِلَيْهَا، وَأَمْسَكَ بِيَدِهَا وَأَنْهَضَهَا. فَذَهَبَتْ عَنْهَا الْحُمَّى حَالاً، وَقَامَتْ تَخْدِمُهُمْ. 32وَعِنْدَ حُلُولِ الْمَسَاءِ، لَمَّا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، أَحْضَرَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ مَنْ كَانُوا مَرْضَى وَمَسْكُونِينَ بِالشَّيَاطِينِ، 33حَتَّى احْتَشَدَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ كُلُّهُمْ عِنْدَ البَابِ. 34فَشَفَى كَثِيرِينَ كَانُوا يُعَانُونَ مِنْ أَمْرَاضٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، وَطَرَدَ شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً، وَلكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَحْ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ بِأَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا، لأَنَّهُمْ عَرَفُوا مَنْ هُوَ.

يسوع يصلي في مكان منعزل

35وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، نَهَضَ بَاكِراً قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ مُنْعَزِلٍ وَأَخَذَ يُصَلِّي هُنَاكَ. 36فَذَهَبَ سِمْعَانُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْهُ. فَلَمَّا وَجَدُوهُ قَالُوا لَهُ: 37«إِنَّ الْجَمِيعَ يَطْلُبُونَكَ!» 38فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِنَذْهَبْ إِلَى مَكَانٍ آخَرَ فِي الْقُرَى الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لأُبَشِّرَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً. فَلأَجْلِ هَذَا جِئْتُ.» 39وَذَهَبَ يُبَشِّرُ فِي مَجَامِعِ الْيَهُودِ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ كُلِّهَا، وَيَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ.

يسوع يشفي رجلاً أبرص

40وَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مُصَابٌ بِالْبَرَصِ يَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْهِ. فَارْتَمَى عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ أَمَامَهُ وَقَالَ: «إِنْ أَرَدْتَ، فَأَنْتَ تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَنِي!» 41فَتَحَنَّنَ يَسُوعُ وَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهُ قَائِلاً: «أُرِيدُ، فَاطْهُرْ!» 42فَحَالَمَا تَكَلَّمَ زَالَ الْبَرَصُ عَنْهُ وَطَهَرَ. 43وَفِي الْحَالِ صَرَفَهُ يَسُوعُ بَعْدَمَا أَنْذَرَهُ بِشِدَّةٍ 44قَائِلاً: «انْتَبِهْ! لَا تُخْبِرْ أَحَداً بِشَيْءٍ، بَلِ اذْهَبْ وَاعْرِضْ نَفْسَكَ عَلَى الْكَاهِنِ، وَقَدِّمْ لِقَاءَ تَطْهِيرِكَ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى، فَيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ شَهَادَةً لَهُمْ!» 45أَمَّا هُوَ، فَانْطَلَقَ يُنَادِي كَثِيراً وَيُذِيعُ الْخَبَرَ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَعُدْ يَسُوعُ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ أَيَّةَ بَلْدَةٍ عَلَناً، بَلْ كَانَ يُقِيمُ فِي أَمَاكِنَ مُقْفِرَةٍ، وَالنَّاسُ يَتَوَافَدُونَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ.
