¹A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.

¹Jeesuse Kristuse [Jumala Poja] evangeeliumi algus.

²As it hath been written in the prophets, `Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,` —

²Nõnda nagu on kirjutatud prohvet Jesaja raamatus: 'Vaata, ma saadan sinu palge eele oma käskjala, kes valmistab su teed.

³`A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,` —

³Hüüdja hääl on kõrbes: Valmistage Issandale tee, tehke tasaseks tema teerajad!',

⁴John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,

⁴nii sündis, et Ristija Johannes oli kõrbes ja kuulutas meeleparandusristimist pattude andeksandmiseks.

⁵and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁵Ja tema juurde läks kogu Juudamaa ja kõik Jeruusalemma linna rahvas ning kui nad olid oma patud üles tunnistanud, ristis Johannes nad Jordani jões.

⁶And John was clothed with camel`s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,

⁶Ja Johannese riided olid kaamelikarvadest ja ta niuete ümber oli nahkvöö ning ta sõi rohutirtse ja metsmett.

⁷and he proclaimed, saying, `He doth come — who is mightier than I — after me, of whom I am not worthy — having stooped down — to loose the latchet of his sandals;

⁷Ja ta kuulutas: 'Pärast mind tuleb minust vägevam, kelle jalatsipaelagi ma ei kõlba kummardudes lahti päästma.

⁸I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.`

⁸Mina ristin teid veega, aga tema ristib teid Püha Vaimuga.'

⁹And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;

⁹Neil päevil sündis, et Jeesus tuli Naatsaretist Galileamaalt ja Johannes ristis ta Jordanis.

¹⁰and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;

¹⁰Ja veest välja tulnud, nägi ta kohe taevast avanevat ning Vaimu kui tuvi laskuvat tema peale.

¹¹and a voice came out of the heavens, `Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in whom I did delight.`

¹¹Ja taevast kostis hääl: 'Sina oled mu armas Poeg, sinust on mul hea meel!'

¹²And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,

¹²Ja kohe ajas Vaim Jeesuse kõrbe

¹³and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.

¹³ja ta oli kõrbes nelikümmend päeva saatana kiusata. Ja ta oli metsloomade seas ning inglid teenisid teda.

¹⁴And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,

¹⁴Aga pärast Johannese vangistamist tuli Jeesus Galileasse ja kuulutas Jumala evangeeliumi:

¹⁵and saying — `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.`

¹⁵'Aeg on täis saanud ja Jumala riik on lähedal. Parandage meelt ja uskuge evangeeliumisse!'

¹⁶And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,

¹⁶Ja Galilea järve randa pidi kõndides nägi Jeesus Siimonat ja tema venda Andreast noota järve heitvat, nad olid ju kalurid.

¹⁷and Jesus said to them, `Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;`

¹⁷Ja Jeesus ütles neile: 'Järgnege mulle ja ma teen teist inimesepüüdjad!'

¹⁸and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.

¹⁸Ja nad jätsid kohe oma võrgud sinnapaika ning järgnesid talle.

¹⁹And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,

¹⁹Ja kui ta oli pisut edasi läinud, nägi ta Sebedeuse poega Jaakobust ja tema venda Johannest paadis võrke parandamas

²⁰and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.

²⁰ja ta kutsus nad otsekohe. Ja nemad jätsid oma isa Sebedeuse koos palgalistega paati ning läksid tema järel ära.

²¹And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,

²¹Ja nad tulid Kapernauma. Ja Jeesus läks kohe järgmisel hingamispäeval sünagoogi ja hakkas õpetama.

²²and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

²²Ja nad olid vapustatud tema õpetusest, sest ta ei õpetanud neid nõnda nagu kirjatundjad, vaid nagu see, kellel on meelevald.

²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

²³Ja nende sünagoogis oli inimene, kelles oli rüve vaim, ja see kisendas:

²⁴saying, `Away! what — to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art — the Holy One of God.`

²⁴'Mis on meil asja sinuga, Jeesus Naatsaretlane? Kas sa oled tulnud meid hukkama? Ma tean, kes sa oled: Jumala Püha!'

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him,`

²⁵Ja Jeesus sõitles teda: 'Jää vait ja mine temast välja!'

²⁶and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,

²⁶Ja rüve vaim lahkus temast teda raputades ja valju häälega kisendades.

²⁷and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, `What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!`

²⁷Ja nad kõik olid jahmunud, nii et nad arutasid omavahel: 'Mis see siis on? Kas uus meelevallaga õpetus? Tema vaid käsutab rüvedaid vaime, ja need kuulavad tema sõna!'

²⁸And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.

²⁸Ja kohe levis kuuldus temast kõikjale kogu Galilea ümbruskonda.

²⁹And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,

²⁹Aga nemad tulid kohe pärast sünagoogist lahkumist koos Jaakobuse ja Johannesega Siimona ja Andrease majja.

³⁰and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,

³⁰Aga Siimona ämm lamas voodis palavikus. Ja otsekohe räägiti Jeesusele temast.

³¹and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.

³¹Ja Jeesus astus ta juurde, võttis tema käest kinni ja aitas ta üles. Ja palavik lahkus Siimona ämmast ning ta teenis neid.

³²And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,

³²Aga õhtu jõudes, kui päike oli loojunud, toodi Jeesuse juurde kõik haiged ja kurjast vaimust vaevatud;

³³and the whole city was gathered together near the door,

³³terve linn oli kogunenud maja ukse ette.

³⁴and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.

³⁴Ja ta tervendas paljusid, kes põdesid mitmesuguseid haigusi, ning ajas välja palju kurje vaime ega lubanud kurjadel vaimudel rääkida, sest need teadsid, kes ta on.

³⁵And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;

³⁵Ja vara hommikul enne valget tõusis Jeesus üles, väljus ning läks tühja paika ja palvetas seal.

³⁶and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,

³⁶Ja Siimon ja ta kaaslased ruttasid talle järele

³⁷and having found him, they say to him, — `All do seek thee;`

³⁷ning leidsid ta. Ja nad ütlesid talle: 'Kõik otsivad sind!'

³⁸and he saith to them, `We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.`

³⁸Tema aga ütles neile: 'Läki mujale, naaberküladesse, et ma sealgi kuulutaksin, sest selleks olen ma tulnud!'

³⁹And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,

³⁹Ja Jeesus käis läbi kogu Galilea, jutlustades sealsetes sünagoogides ja ajades välja kurje vaime.

⁴⁰and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him — `If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.`

⁴⁰Ja Jeesuse juurde tuli pidalitõbine, palus teda ja põlvili heites ütles talle: 'Kui sa tahad, siis sa võid mu puhtaks teha!'

⁴¹And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I will; be thou cleansed;`

⁴¹Ja Jeesusel hakkas temast hale, ta sirutas oma käe välja, puudutas teda ja ütles: 'Ma tahan, saa puhtaks!'

⁴²and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.

⁴²Ja otsekohe lahkus pidalitõbi temast ja ta sai puhtaks.

⁴³And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,

⁴³Ja Jeesus hoiatas meest ja saatis ta kohe minema.

⁴⁴and saith to him, `See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.`

⁴⁴Jeesus ütles talle: 'Vaata, et sa kellelegi midagi ei räägi, vaid mine näita ennast preestrile ja ohverda oma puhtaks saamise eest, mis Mooses on käskinud, neile tunnistuseks!'

⁴⁵And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.

⁴⁵See aga läks ja hakkas igal pool kõnelema ja seda uudist levitama, nii et Jeesus ei saanud enam avalikult minna ühtegi linna, vaid pidi viibima eemal asustamata paigus. Ja kõikjalt tuldi tema juurde.
