1하나님의 아들 예수 그리스도에 대한 기쁜 소식의 시작이다.
21:2 어떤사본에는 ‘선지자이사야의글에’예언서에는 1:2 말3:1“보라! 내가 너보다 앞서 내 사자를 보내겠다. 그가 네 앞에서 네 길을 준비할 것이다.”
31:3 사40:3“광야에서 어떤 사람의 외치는 소리가 들린다. ‘너희는 주를 위해 길을 준비하라. 그의 길을 곧게 하라’ ” 고 쓰여 있다.
세례 요한
4이 말씀대로 1:4 또는 ‘침례자’세례 요한이 광야에 나타나 죄를 용서받게 하려고 회개의 1:4 또는 ‘침례’세례를 전파하였다.
5그러자 온 유대 지방과 예루살렘 사람이 모두 나아와 죄를 고백하고 요단강에서 요한에게 세례를 받았다.
6요한은 낙타 털옷을 입고 허리에 가죽띠를 띠고 메뚜기와 산꿀을 먹고 살았다.
7그리고 그는 이렇게 외쳤다. “내 뒤에 나보다 더 능력 있는 분이 오신다. 나는 몸을 구푸려 그분의 신발끈을 풀어 드릴 자격도 없다.
8나는 너희에게 물로 세례를 주지만 그분은 성령으로 세례를 주실 것이다.”
9그 무렵 예수님이 갈릴리 나사렛에서 요단강으로 오셔서 요한에게 세례를 받으셨다.
10예수님은 물에서 올라오시는 순간 하늘이 열리고 성령님이 비둘기같이 자기에게 내리시는 것을 보셨다.
11그리고 하늘에서 “너는 내가 사랑하고 기뻐하는 내 아들이다” 라는 음성이 들려왔다.
12그러고 나서 즉시 성령님은 예수님을 광야로 내보내셨다.
13예수님이 거기서 40일 동안 사탄에게 시험을 받으며 들짐승과 함께 지내시자 천사들이 시중들었다.
14요한이 잡힌 후 예수님은 갈릴리로 가셔서 하나님의 기쁜 소식을 전파하시며
15“드디어 때가 왔다! 하나님의 나라가 가까웠으니 회개하고 기쁜 소식을 믿어라!” 하고 말씀하셨다.
제자들을 부르심
16예수님은 갈릴리 1:16 또는 ‘호숫가’바닷가를 지나가시다가 그물을 던져 고기 잡는 어부 시몬과 그의 형제 안드레를 보셨다.
17예수님이 그들에게 “나를 따라오너라. 내가 너희를 사람 낚는 어부가 되게 하겠다” 하시자
18그들은 곧 그물을 버려 두고 예수님을 따랐다.
19예수님은 좀더 가시다가 세베대의 두 아들 야고보와 요한이 배에서 그물을 손질하는 것을 보시고
20즉시 부르셨다. 그러자 그들은 자기들의 아버지 세베대와 일꾼들을 배에 남겨 둔 채 예수님을 따라 나섰다.
21그들 일행은 가버나움으로 갔다. 곧 안식일이 되어 예수님은 회당에 들어가 가르치셨다.
22그의 가르침이 율법학자들과는 달리 권위가 있으므로 사람들은 놀라지 않을 수 없었다.
많은 병자를 고치심
23마침 그 회당에 더러운 귀신 들린 사람 하나가 있었다. 그가 큰 소리로
24“나사렛 예수님, 우리가 당신과 무슨 상관이 있습니까? 우리를 없애려고 오셨습니까? 나는 당신이 하나님의 거룩한 아들임을 압니다” 하고 외쳤다.
25예수님이 그를 꾸짖으며 “떠들지 말고 그 사람에게서 나오너라” 하시자
26더러운 귀신은 그 사람에게 발작을 일으켜 놓고 큰 소리를 지르며 나왔다.
27이 광경을 본 사람들이 모두 놀라 “이게 어떻게 된 일이냐? 정말 권위 있는 새로운 가르침이다! 더러운 귀신들도 그 명령에 복종하는군!” 하며 서로 이야기하였다.
28그래서 곧 예수님의 소문이 갈릴리 온 지방에 널리 퍼졌다.
29예수님은 회당을 떠나 야고보와 요한을 데리고 시몬과 안드레의 집으로 들어가셨다.
30이때 시몬의 장모가 열병으로 누워 있었다. 사람들이 이 일을 예수님께 말씀드리자
31예수님은 가셔서 그녀의 손을 잡아 일으키셨다. 그러자 즉시 열병이 떠나고 시몬의 장모는 예수님의 일행에게 시중을 들었다.
32날이 저물었을 때 사람들이 병들고 귀신 들린 사람들을 모두 예수님께 데려왔다.
33그리고 온 마을 사람들도 문 앞에 모여들었다.
34그래서 예수님은 갖가지 병으로 고생하는 많은 사람들을 고쳐 주시고 귀신들을 쫓아내셨다. 그러나 예수님은 귀신들이 자기를 잘 알기 때문에 귀신들이 말하는 것을 허락하지 않으셨다.
35이른 새벽 예수님은 일어나 외딴 곳에 가서 기도하고 계셨다.
36예수님을 찾아다니던 시몬과 그 일행은
37예수님을 만나자 “모든 사람이 주님을 찾고 있습니다” 하고 말하였다.
38예수님은 그들에게 “가까운 이웃 마을에도 가서 전도하자. 나는 이 일을 하려고 왔다” 하시고
39온 갈릴리를 다니시며 회당에서 전도하고 귀신들을 쫓아내셨다.
40한 문둥병자가 예수님께 와서 무릎을 꿇고 “주님께서 원하시면 저를 깨끗이 고치실 수 있습니다” 하였다.
41예수님이 불쌍히 여겨 그에게 손을 대시며 “내가 원한다. 깨끗이 나아라” 하고 말씀하시자
42즉시 그의 문둥병이 나았다.
43예수님은 곧 그를 보내시며 엄하게 타일렀다.
44“너는 아무에게도 이 일을 말하지 말고 제사장에게 가서 네 몸을 보이고 모세가 명령한 예물을 드려 네가 깨끗해진 것을 사람들에게 증거하여라.”
45그러나 그는 나가서 이 일을 마구 퍼뜨렸다. 그래서 예수님은 더 이상 드러나게 마을로 들어가실 수가 없어서 외딴 곳에 가 계셨다. 그러나 사람들은 계속 여기저기서 모여들었다.

5Saa bere no mu Dawid babarima Adoniya1.5 Adoniya na na ɔyɛ Dawid babarima a ɔto so anan (2 Sam 3.4) a na wadi bɛyɛ mfe aduasa anum.

우주 창조
1태초에 하나님이 1:1 또는 ‘천지를’우주를 창조하셨다.
2지구는 아무 형태도 없이 텅 비어 흑암에 싸인 채 물로 뒤덮여 있었고 하나님의 영은 수면에 활동하고 계셨다.
3그때 하나님이 “빛이 있으라” 하고 말씀하시자 빛이 나타났다.
4그 빛은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다. 하나님이 빛과 어두움을 나누어
5빛을 낮이라 부르시고 어두움을 밤이라고 부르셨다. 저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 첫째 날이었다.
6-7하나님이 “물 가운데 넓은 공간이 생겨 물과 물이 나누어져라” 하시자 그대로 되었다. 이렇게 하나님은 공간을 만들어 공간 아래의 물과 공간 위의 물로 나누시고
8그 공간을 하늘이라고 부르셨다. 저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 둘째 날이었다.
9하나님이 “하늘 아래 있는 물은 한 곳으로 모이고 뭍이 드러나라” 하시자 그대로 되었다.
10하나님은 뭍을 땅이라 부르시고 모인 물을 바다라고 부르셨다. 이것은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
11하나님이 “땅은 온갖 채소와 씨 맺는 식물과 열매 맺는 과일 나무들을 그 종류대로 내어라” 하시자 그대로 되었다.
12이렇게 땅이 온갖 채소와 씨 맺는 식물과 열매 맺는 과일 나무들을 그 종류대로 내니 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
13저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 셋째 날이었다.
14-15하나님이 “하늘에 광체가 나타나 땅을 비추고 낮과 밤을 나누어라. 그리고 날과 해와 계절을 구분하라” 하시자 그대로 되었다.
16하나님은 두 개의 큰 광체를 만들어 큰 광체로 낮을, 작은 광체로 밤을 지배하게 하셨으며 또 별들도 만드셨다.
17이렇게 하나님은 그 광체들을 하늘에 두어 땅을 비추게 하시고
18밤과 낮을 지배하게 하시며 빛과 어두움을 구분하게 하셨다. 이것은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
19저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 넷째 날이었다.
20하나님이 “물에는 생물이 번성하고 공중에는 새가 날으라” 하고 말씀하셨다.
21이와 같이 하나님은 거대한 바다 생물과 물에서 번성하는 갖가지 물고기와 날개 달린 온갖 새들을 창조하셨다. 이것은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
22하나님이 이것들을 다 축복하시며 “바다의 생물들은 번성하여 바다를 채우고 공중의 새들은 번성하여 땅을 채워라” 하셨다.
23저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 다섯째 날이었다.
24하나님이 “땅은 온갖 생물, 곧 가축과 땅에 기어다니는 것과 들짐승을 그 종류대로 내어라” 하시자 그대로 되었다.
25이렇게 하나님은 들짐승과 가축과 땅에 기어다니는 모든 생물을 만드셨다. 이것은 하나님이 보시기에 좋았다.
26그러고서 하나님은 “우리의 모습을 닮은 사람을 만들어 바다의 고기와 공중의 새와 가축과 온 땅과 땅에 기어다니는 모든 생물을 지배하게 하자” 하시고
27자기 모습을 닮은 사람, 곧 남자와 여자를 창조하셨다.
28그리고 하나님은 그들을 축복하여 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “너희는 많은 자녀를 낳고 번성하여 땅을 가득 채워라. 땅을 정복하라. 바다의 고기와 공중의 새와 땅의 모든 생물을 지배하라.
29내가 온 땅의 씨 맺는 식물과 열매 맺는 모든 나무를 너희에게 주었으니 그것이 너희 양식이 될 것이다.
30그리고 땅의 모든 짐승과 공중의 모든 새와 땅에서 움직이는 모든 생물들에게는 푸른 풀과 식물을 내가 먹이로 주었다.”
31하나님이 자기가 창조한 것을 보시니 모든 것이 아주 훌륭하였다. 저녁이 지나고 아침이 되자 이것이 여섯째 날이었다.

约瑟的梦
1雅各住在他父亲寄居的迦南, 2以下是有关雅各一家的记载.
十七岁的少年约瑟跟哥哥们,就是雅各的妾辟拉和悉帕生的儿子们一同放羊.他向父亲报告哥哥们做的坏事. 3约瑟是以色列年老时生的,以色列特别宠爱他,为他做了一件彩衣. 4约瑟的哥哥们见父亲偏爱他,就怀恨在心,对他恶言相向.
5约瑟做了一个梦,并告诉了哥哥们,他们更恨他了. 6约瑟对哥哥们说:“你们听听我做的梦—— 7我们在田里捆庄稼,我捆的庄稼站起来,你们捆的庄稼都围着我捆的庄稼下拜.” 8他的哥哥们回答说:“难道你真想做我们的王统治我们吗?”他们因约瑟的梦和他说的话而更恨他.
9后来,约瑟又做了一个梦,他又去对哥哥们说:“你们听听我做的另一个梦,我梦见太阳,月亮和十一颗星星都向我下拜.” 10约瑟把梦告诉了父亲和哥哥们,他父亲就责备他说:“你做的是什么梦!难道你的父母弟兄都要来向你俯伏下拜吗?” 11约瑟的哥哥们嫉恨他,他父亲却把这些话记在心里.
12约瑟的哥哥们到示剑放父亲的羊. 13以色列把约瑟叫来,对他说:“你哥哥们在示剑放羊,我要派你去他们那里.”约瑟说:“好的.” 14以色列说:“你去看看你哥哥们以及羊群是否平安,然后回来告诉我.”于是,约瑟就从希伯仑谷出发去示剑. 15有人见他在田野走迷了路,就问他:“你在找什么?” 16约瑟回答说:“我在找我哥哥们,你知道他们在哪里放羊吗?” 17那人说:“他们已经走了,我听他们说要到多坍去.”约瑟就赶往多坍,在那里找到了他们.
18约瑟的哥哥们远远看见他走来,趁他还没有到跟前,就合谋要害死他. 19他们彼此商量说:“看!做梦的来了. 20来吧!我们杀了他,把他扔在井里,就说有野兽把他吃掉了,看他的梦怎么实现.” 21吕便听后想救约瑟的性命,就说:“我们不要害他性命.” 22他又说:“不要杀人流血,把他扔在这口井里吧,不要下手害他.”吕便想救约瑟,把他交回给父亲. 23这时候,约瑟来了,他们就脱去他身上的彩衣, 24把他扔到井里.当时,那口井是干的,没有水.
25他们坐下来吃饭的时候,看见一队从基列来的以实玛利商人用骆驼驮着香料,乳香,没药去埃及. 26犹大对他的众弟兄说:“我们杀死弟弟,掩盖罪行有什么益处呢? 27不如把他卖给以实玛利人,不要下手害他,他毕竟是我们的弟弟,我们的骨肉啊!”其他弟兄都赞成他的意见. 28于是,那些米甸商人经过的时候,他们就把约瑟从井里拉上来,以二百二十克银子的价钱把他卖给了以实玛利人.这些商人把他带到埃及去了.
29吕便回到井边发现约瑟不见了,就伤心地撕裂了身上的衣服, 30回到弟兄们那里说:“那少年不见了,我现在怎么办?” 31他们宰了一只公山羊,把血染在约瑟的彩衣上, 32拿去给父亲,说:“我们捡到这件衣服,你看看是不是你儿子的?” 33雅各认出那件彩衣,说:“这是我儿子的衣服,一定是野兽把他吃了,约瑟一定被撕碎了!” 34雅各撕裂自己的衣服,束上麻布,为约瑟哀伤了好几天. 35他的儿女都来安慰他,他却不肯接受他们的安慰,说:“我一定会凄凄惨惨地下到阴间,去我儿子那里.”约瑟的父亲为他哀哭.
36那些米甸人把约瑟带到埃及后,把他卖给了法老的内臣——护卫长波提乏.

但以理被掳到巴比伦
1犹大王约雅敬执政第三年,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒前来围攻耶路撒冷. 2主将犹大王约雅敬及上帝殿中的部分器具交在他手中.他把器具掳到巴比伦1:2 “巴比伦”希伯来文是“示拿”,巴比伦的别称.的神庙,放在他神明的库房里.
3王吩咐太监长亚施毗拿从以色列的王室贵族中选一些人, 4即毫无残疾,相貌英俊,学问渊博,知识丰富,聪慧善学,能在王宫服侍的青年,教他们迦勒底的语言和文字. 5王安排他们每日享用一份御用的膳食和酒.他们要受教养三年,期满后好在王身边供职. 6被选的人中有犹大族的但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅. 7太监长给他们起了名字:称但以理为伯提沙撒,哈拿尼雅为沙得拉,米沙利为米煞,亚撒利雅为亚伯尼歌.
8然而,但以理决心不用王的膳食和酒,以免玷污自己.他请求太监长准许他不玷污自己. 9上帝使但以理得到太监长的恩待和同情. 10不过,太监长对但以理说:“我惧怕我主我王,因为这是他安排给你们的饮食.如果他看见你们比同龄的青年瘦弱,如何是好?你们会使我在王面前人头难保.” 11但以理便对太监长派来监管他,哈拿尼雅,米沙利和亚撒利雅的人说: 12“求你试试看,十天内只让仆人们吃素菜,喝清水, 13然后比较一下我们的面貌和那些用御膳的青年的面貌,看了之后再作决定.” 14监管同意试他们十天. 15十天后,但以理和他三个朋友看上去比那些用御膳的青年更俊美健康. 16于是,监管撤去了安排给他们的膳食和酒,只给他们素菜.
17上帝使这四个青年精通各样学问和知识.但以理能明白各种异象和梦兆. 18到了尼布甲尼撒王规定青年们进宫的日子,太监长便带他们去见王. 19王与他们谈话,发现无人比得上但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利和亚撒利雅,便把他们留在身边供职. 20王询问他们各样的事,发现他们的智慧和聪明比全国的术士和巫师高十倍. 21直到塞鲁士王元年,但以理仍在那里供职.

1-4神のしもべであり,イエス・キリストの使徒であるパウロから,同じ信仰によって,私の真実の子となった愛するテトスへ.どうか,父なる神と救い主キリスト・イエスが,あなたに祝福と平安とを注いでくださいますように.私は,神に選ばれた人たちを信仰に導き,真理を教えるために遣わされた者です.神のことばの真理には,信じる人の生活を全く変える力と,永遠のいのちを与える力があります.これは,世界が造られる前からの神の約束です.神は,偽りを言うことがないお方です.それで今,約束どおり最善の時を選んで,この良い知らせを公表し,すべての人に告げ知らせる特権を私にゆだねられたのです.
ふさわしい牧師を選ぶ
5ところで,あなたをクレテ島に残して来たのは,島の教会を強めるために,思う存分働いてもらいたかったからです.前もってお願いしておいたように,私の指示どおり,町ごとに牧師〔長老〕を任命してください.
6牧師として選ぶ人は,正しい生活を送っていて,評判の良い人でなければなりません.すなわち,一人の妻の夫であり,子どもも,主を愛するクリスチャンでなければなりません.子どもが親に反抗的だとか,乱暴者だとか,悪いうわさのある人は避けなさい. 7牧師は神に仕える者ですから,だれからも非難されない人であるべきです.高慢な人,短気な人,大酒飲み,けんか好き,金銭欲の強い人に,その資格はありません. 8心から客をもてなし,善意にあふれ,慎み深く,だれにでも公平で,良識ある,きよらかな心の持ち主でなければならないのです. 9また,教えられたみことばの真理をしっかり守っている人であることも大切な条件です.なぜなら,彼らの使命は人々に真理を教え,反対する者に,その誤りをはっきり指摘することにあるからです.
10こう言うのは,真理に従わない人が大ぜいいるからです.特に,「クリスチャンはみな,割礼を受けるべきだ」と主張する者たちは,その代表的な例だと言えます.これはまた,なんとばかげた議論でしょう.彼らは人の目をくらませて,真理を見いだすのを阻むのです. 11そんな議論は直ちにやめさせなさい.それで,すでに何家族かが神の恵みから離れてしまいました.そんなことを教える者たちの目当ては,一にも二にも金もうけです. 12彼らのことを,同じクレテ出身の預言者はこう言いました.「クレテ人はみな,うそつきで悪いけだもの.なまけ者で食いしんぼう.」 13まさにそのとおりです.ですから,人々を甘やかさず,その信仰を強めるように,きびしく教育しなさい. 14そして,ユダヤ人の作り話や,真理に逆らう者の言い分に耳を傾けることなど,きっぱりやめさせなさい.
15きよい心の持ち主には,すべてのものがきよく,良いものに見えます.しかし,心の曲がった不真実な者には,すべてが曲がって見えるのです.それは,その汚れた思いと反抗的な心が,見るもの聞くものすべてをゆがめるからです. 16そういう者たちは,口先では神を知っていると言うのですが,行いを見れば,そのうそは一目瞭然です.心は腐れきって不従順で,良い行いにふさわしくない者です.

1사람이 보냈거나 사람을 통해서 사도가 된 것이 아니라 예수 그리스도와 그분을 죽은 사람들 가운데서 다시 살리신 하나님 아버지를 통해서 사도가 된 나 바울과
2그리고 나와 함께 있는 모든 형제들이 갈라디아 여러 교회들에게
3우리 하나님 아버지와 주 예수 그리스도의 은혜와 평안이 함께하기를 기도합니다.
4그리스도께서는 우리 하나님 아버지의 뜻을 따라 우리를 이 악한 세상에서 구원하시려고 우리 죄를 위해 자기를 바치셨습니다.
5하나님 아버지께 길이길이 영광이 있기를 바랍니다. 아멘.
다른 복음은 없다
6여러분이 그리스도의 은혜로 여러분을 부르신 하나님을 그처럼 쉽게 저버리고 다른 1:6 또는 ‘기쁜 소식’복음을 따르다니 정말 놀라지 않을 수 없습니다.
7사실 다른 복음이란 있을 수가 없습니다. 다만 어떤 사람들이 여러분을 혼란 가운데 빠뜨리고 그리스도의 복음을 변질시키려는 것에 지나지 않습니다.
8우리뿐만 아니라 하늘에서 온 천사라도 우리가 여러분에게 전한 기쁜 소식 외에 다른 것을 전한다면 저주를 받을 것입니다.
9우리가 전에 말한 대로 내가 다시 말하지만 누구든지 여러분이 이미 받은 기쁜 소식 외에 다른 것을 전하면 저주를 받을 것입니다.
10내가 지금 사람에게 잘 보이려고 하는 줄 아십니까? 아닙니다. 내가 원하는 것은 하나님의 인정을 받는 일입니다. 내가 이제 와서 사람을 기쁘게 하겠습니까? 내가 아직도 사람을 기쁘게 하려고 한다면 나는 그리스도의 종이 아닙니다.
11형제 여러분, 내가 여러분에게 알게 합니다만 내가 전한 기쁜 소식은 사람이 만들어낸 것이 아닙니다.
12이 기쁜 소식은 내가 사람에게서 받았거나 배운 것이 아니라 예수 그리스도의 계시로 받은 것입니다.
13내가 전에 유대교에 있을 때 한 일들을 여러분은 들어서 알 것입니다. 그때 나는 하나님의 교회를 몹시 박해하였고 아예 교회를 없애 버리려고까지 했습니다.
14나는 같은 나이 또래의 그 어떤 유대인들보다 유대교를 신봉하는 데 앞장섰으며 조상들의 전통을 지키는 데도 누구 못지않게 열심이었습니다.
15-16그러나 내가 태어나기도 전에 나를 택하시고 은혜로 나를 부르신 하나님이 자기 아들을 나에게 나타내어 이방인들에게 그분에 대한 기쁜 소식을 전하게 하시기를 기뻐하셨을 때 나는 1:15-16 원문에는 ‘혈육’사람과 의논하지 않았으며
17나보다 먼저 사도가 된 사람들을 만나려고 예루살렘으로 가지도 않았고 곧바로 아라비아로 갔다가 다시 다마스커스로 돌아왔습니다.
18그 후 나는 3년 만에 베드로를 만나러 예루살렘으로 가서 15일 동안 그와 함께 지냈습니다.
19나는 거기서 주님의 형제 야고보 외에는 다른 사도를 만나지 못했습니다.
20내가 지금 쓰고 있는 이것이 거짓말이 아니라는 것을 나는 하나님 앞에서 여러분에게 확실히 말할 수 있습니다.
21그 후에 나는 시리아와 길리기아 지방으로 갔습니다.
22그때까지만 해도 유대에 있는 교회들은 내 얼굴을 몰랐습니다.
23그들은 전에 자기들을 괴롭히던 사람이 지금은 박해하던 그 믿음을 전한다는 말만 듣고
24나 때문에 하나님께 영광을 돌렸습니다.
