< Mark 1 >

1 Here is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Ko e kamataʻanga ʻoe ongoongolelei ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua;
2 Just as the prophet Isaiah wrote, “I'm sending my messenger ahead of you to prepare your way.
‌ʻO hangē ko ia ʻoku tohi ʻi he kau palōfita, “Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu hoku fakamelomelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻaia te ne teuteu ho hala kiate koe.
3 A voice is calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the Lord's way! Make his paths straight.’”
Ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, ‘Mou teuteu ʻae hala ʻoe ʻEiki, fakatonutonu hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.’”
4 John came, baptizing in the desert, announcing a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Naʻe papitaiso ʻe Sione ʻi he toafa, mo ne malangaʻaki ʻae papitaiso ʻoe fakatomala ki he fakamolemole ʻoe angahala.
5 Everybody from the country of Judea and from Jerusalem went to him. They admitted their sins publicly and were baptized in the Jordan River.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu kiate ia ʻae fonua kotoa pē ko Siutea, pea mo kinautolu ʻo Selūsalema, ʻonau papitaiso kotoa pē ʻiate ia ʻi he vaitafe ko Sioatani, ʻo vete ʻenau ngaahi angahala.
6 John wore clothes made of camel hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
Pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Sione ʻae fulufuluʻi kāmeli, pea nonoʻo ʻaki hono konga loto ʻae kiliʻi manu; pea naʻa ne kai ʻae heʻe mo e meʻa huʻamelie ʻoe vao;
7 This is what he had to say: “After me someone is coming who is greater than I am. I'm not worthy to bend down and untie his sandals.
Pea naʻa ne malanga, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku muimui ʻiate au ʻae tokotaha ʻoku lahi kiate au, ko e nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe ʻoʻona ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u punou hifo ʻo vevete.
8 I baptized you in water but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
Ko e moʻoni, kuo u papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae vai: ka te ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
9 Then Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Nāsaleti ʻo Kaleli, pea papitaiso ia ʻe Sione ʻi Sioatani.
10 As Jesus came out of the water, he saw the heavens split apart and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.
Pea ʻalu hake leva ia mei he vai, pea ne mamata kuo mavaeua ʻae langi, pea maliu hifo ʻae Laumālie kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e lupe:
11 A voice from heaven said, “You are my son, the one I love. I am very pleased with you.”
Pea ongo mai ʻae leʻo mei he langi, [naʻe pehē], “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga koe, ʻaia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ai.”
12 Right after this the Spirit sent him away into the desert
Pea taki leva ia ʻe he Laumālie ki he toafa.
13 where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was with the wild animals, and angels took care of him.
Pea naʻe ʻi he toafa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe Sētane; pea naʻe ʻi ai mo ia ʻae fanga manu kai vao; kae tauhi ia ʻe he kau ʻāngelo.
14 Later, after John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, announcing God's good news.
Pea kuo fakahū ʻa Sione ki he fale fakapōpula, pea haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Kaleli, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua,
15 “The time predicted has come,” he said. “God's kingdom has arrived! Repent and believe in the good news.”
‌ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo hokosia ʻae kuonga, pea ʻoku ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua: mou fakatomala, pea tui ki he ongoongolelei.”
16 As he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they made their living by fishing.
Pea ʻi heʻene hāʻele ʻi he matātahi ʻo Kaleli, naʻa ne mamata kia Saimone, mo ʻAnitelū ko hono tokoua, ʻoku na lafo ʻae kupenga ki tahi: he ko e ongo toutai ika ʻakinaua.
17 “Come and follow me,” he told them, “and I will have you fishing for people.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “Mo muimui mai ʻiate au, pea te u ngaohi ʻakimoua ke mo toutai tangata.”
18 They left their nets at once and followed him.
Pea naʻa na liʻaki leva, hona kupenga, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
19 He went a little farther and saw James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat mending their nets.
Pea ʻalu siʻi atu ia, mo ne mamata kia Semisi ko e [foha ]ʻo Sepeti, mo Sione ko hono tokoua, naʻa na ʻi he vaka foki, ʻo pena honau kupenga.
20 Immediately he called them to follow him, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, and followed Jesus.
Pea ne ui leva ʻakinaua: pea naʻa na liʻaki ʻena tamai ko Sepeti ʻi he vaka mo e kau ngāue kuo unga, ka na muimui ʻiate ia.
21 They left for Capernaum, and on Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught there.
Pea nau ō ki Kapaneume: pea hū leva ia ki he falelotu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo ne ako.
22 The people were amazed at his teaching, for he spoke with authority, unlike the religious teachers.
Pea nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki: he naʻa ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo taau mo ia ʻoku mālohi, ka naʻe ʻikai hangē ko e kau tangata tohi.
23 Suddenly, right there in the synagogue, a man with an evil spirit started shouting out,
Pea naʻe ʻi honau falelotu ʻae tangata naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻuli: pea kalanga leva ia,
24 “Jesus of Nazareth, why are you bothering us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are! You're God's Holy One!”
‌ʻo pehē, “E Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, tuku ai pe; ko e hā ʻakimautolu kiate koe? Kuo ke haʻu ke fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu? ʻOku ou ʻilo koe, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
25 Jesus interrupted the evil spirit, telling him, “Be quiet! Come out of him.”
Pea lolomi ia ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke fakalongo pē, pea ke haʻu kituʻa ʻiate ia.”
26 The evil spirit screamed, threw the man into convulsions, and came out of him.
Pea kuo haehae ia ʻe he laumālie ʻuli, mo tangi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, pea ne toki mahuʻi ʻiate ia.
27 Everyone was amazed at what happened. “What is this?” they asked each other. “What is this new teaching that has such authority? Even evil spirits do what he tells them!”
Pea naʻe ofo ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko ia ne nau fakafefehuʻiʻaki ai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ko eni? Ko e hā ʻae akonaki foʻou ni? He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia ʻi he mālohi ki he kau laumālie ʻuli, pea ʻoku nau talangofua kiate ia.”
28 News about him spread quickly throughout the whole region of Galilee.
Pea naʻe mafola leva ʻa hono ongoongo ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Kaleli.
29 Then they left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
Pea kuo nau ʻalu mei he falelotu, naʻa nau hū, fakataha mo Semisi mo Sione, ki he fale ʻo Saimone mo ʻAnitelū.
30 Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, so they told Jesus about her.
Ka naʻe tokoto ʻae faʻē ʻae uaifi ʻo Saimone ʻoku mahaki ko e mofi; pea nau fakahā leva ia kiate ia.
31 He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever immediately left her. Then she made them a meal.
Pea haʻu ia ʻo puke hono nima, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ia: pea mahuʻi leva ʻae mofi ʻiate ia, ʻo ne tauhi ʻakinautolu.
32 After sunset that evening, those who were sick and demon-possessed were brought to Jesus.
Pea kuo efiafi, ʻo feʻunga mo e tō ʻae laʻā, mo ʻenau ʻomi kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mahaki, mo kinautolu naʻe ulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo.
33 The whole of the town gathered outside.
Pea fakataha ʻae kolo kotoa pē ki he matapā.
34 He healed many people who had various diseases, and threw out many demons. He did not permit the demons to speak, for they knew who he was.
Pea fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi naʻe mahaki ʻi he mahaki kehekehe, mo ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo tokolahi: pea ne taʻofi ke ʻoua ʻe lea ʻae kau tēvolo, koeʻuhi kuo nau ʻilo ia.
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went alone to a quiet place to pray.
Pea pongipongi ai, naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻoku teʻeki ʻaho, pea ʻalu ia kituaʻā ʻo mole atu ki he potu lala, pea lotu ai.
36 Simon and the others went to search for him.
Pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻa Saimone, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia.
37 When they found him, they told him, “Everybody's looking for you.”
Pea kuo ʻilo ia, pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku kumi kotoa pē kiate koe.”
38 But Jesus replied, “We have to go to the other towns around here so that I can tell them the good news as well—for that's why I came.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ke tau ō ki he ngaahi potu kakai ʻoku ofi mai, koeʻuhi ke u malanga ai foki: he ko ia naʻaku haʻu ai.”
39 So he went all over Galilee, speaking in the synagogues and expelling demons.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻo malanga ʻe ia ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu ʻi Kāleli kotoa pē, mo ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo.
40 A leper came to him asking for help. The man kneeled down before Jesus, saying, “Please, if you're willing, you can heal me!”
Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae kilia, naʻe kole kiate ia, ʻo tuʻulutui kiate ia, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kapau ko ho finangalo ʻoku ke faʻa fakamaʻa au.”
41 With compassion Jesus reached out and touched the man, and said, “I am willing. Be healed!”
Pea ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sisu, ʻo mafao atu hono nima, ʻo ala kiate ia, pea ne pehē ki ai, “Ko hoku loto ia; ke ke maʻa koe.”
42 The leprosy left him immediately, and he was healed.
Pea kuo lea ia, mo ʻene mahuʻi leva ʻae kilia ʻiate ia, pea maʻa ai ia.
43 Jesus sent him away with a strong warning.
Pea ne naʻinaʻi mālohi kiate ia, pea toki fekau ke ne ʻalu:
44 “Make sure you don't tell anybody anything about this,” he told him. “Go to the priest and show yourself to him. Give the offering which is required by the law of Moses for such cleansing, so that people will have proof.”
‌ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Vakai ʻoua naʻa ke lea ki ha taha: ka ke ʻalu, ʻo fakahā Ko e ki he taulaʻeiki, mo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamaʻa, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.”
45 But the healed leper went out and told everyone what had happened. As a result Jesus could not openly go into the cities anymore, but had to stay out in the country where people came to him from everywhere around.
Ka naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne kamata fakahā ʻo lahi, mo fanongonongo ʻae meʻa [ni], ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai ke toe faʻa ʻalu fakahā [ʻa Sisu ]ʻi he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi tuaʻā ia ʻi he ngaahi potu lala: pea naʻa nau haʻu mei he potu kotoa pē kiate ia.
