Markus 1
1 TAPIN rongamau en Iesus Kristus, Sapwilim en Kot.
([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 Duen a intingidi ren saukop Iesaia: Kilang, i kadarala mo’mui ai men kadar me pan kaonopada al omui!
3 Ngil eu likelikwir sili nan sap tan: Komail kaonopada al en Kaun o kaineneda al a!
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 Ioanes kotido wia paptais nin sap tan o padapadak duen paptais en kalula ong lapwa dip akan.
[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 Toun sap en Sus akan o toun Ierusalem karos pokon dong re a; irail paptaisela re a nan pilap Iordan, weokada dip arail akan.
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 Ioanes kin likauwi wun en kamel, o perapirki kil en man, o kin kangkang mansiek o oni en nan wel.
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 O padapadak masani: Meamen laud sang ia kotido mur i. Sal en a sut i sota war ong idiokidi lapwada.
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 I paptais kilar komail pil. A a pan paptais kin komail Ngen saraui!
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 Kadekadeo ni ran oko Iesus ap kotido sang Nasaret en Kaliläa ap paptaisela ren Ioanes nan Iordan.
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 A madang kotida sang nan pil o, ap kotin masani nanlang kan ar ritida, o Ngen mom en muroi piridi dong po a.
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 Ngil eu ap peidido sang nanlang kan: Nai kompok komui, me I perenki!
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 A madang Ngen kalua wong i sap tan.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 A ap kotikoteki sap tan ran pangaul wia songesong pan Satan, ieiang man laualo; a tounlang kan me papa ong i.
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 Murin en Ioanes a pangalar, Iesus ap koti dong Kaliläa, padapadak rongamau en wein Kot.
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 Masani: Ansau o leler wein Kot mier! Komail kalula! Kamelele rongamau!
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 Ni a kotikot sili liman sed en Kaliläa, a ap masani Simon o ri a ol Andreas ara lalaid sili, pwe ira saused.
[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 Iesus ap kotin masani ong ira: Koma idauen ia do! Pwe I pan wia kin koma la saused en aramas!
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 Ira ari madang kasedi ara uk eko, ap idauenla i.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Ari, ni a kotila sang wasa o, a ap kotin masani Iakopus, nain Sepedäus o ri a ol Ioanes mimi pon sop pot wonewone ara uk oko.
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 I ari kotin molipe ira madang, ira ari pededi sam ara Sepedäus nin sop o ren toun dodok ko o idauen la i.
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 Irail ap koti dong Kapernaum. A madang kotilong ong nan sinakoke ni ran en sapat o kawewe.
[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 Re ap puriamuiki a padak, pwe a kotin kawewe ong irail ni manaman sota dueta saunkawewe kan.
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 Aramas amen iang mi nan sinakoke o, me ngen saut mi lole, ap weriwer,
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 Indada: Ko sang kit! Menda re omui kit, Iesus en Nasaret? Komui kotido en kawe kit ala? I asa komui, Saraui en Kot.
“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 Iesus ari ongiongida, masani: Nenenla o kowei sang i!
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Ngen saut lao kapururada ap weriwer laudeda, a ap koiei sang i.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Irail karos puriamui, pepeidok nan pung arail indada: Dakot met? Padak kap, dakot met? Pwe ni manaman a masani ong ngen saut akan, irail ari peiki ong i.
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 I ari madang indand sili nin sap karos impan Kaliläa.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Irail ari madang koti sang nan sinakoke, ap iang Iakopus o Ioanes kotilong ong nan im en Simon o Andreas,
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 Saulap en Simon wononeki somau karakar. Irail ap kaireki i madang duen i.
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 I ari koti wong ale pa a, kauada. Somau karakar ap madang ko sang; i ari papa irail.
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 A lao sautik penaer, ni katipin kirila, re ap wa pena ong i karos me somau o me tewil ti po arail.
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 O toun kanim o pokon dong ni im o.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 A ap kotin kakelailada me toto me somauki song en somau toto, kausa sang tewil toto, ap kulikedi tewil akan, ren der lokaia, pwe re asa i.
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 A kotin kipada nin soran, kotilang sap tan, pwen laolao wasa o.
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 Simon o me iang ko ap idauenla i.
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 Ni arail diar i, re ap potoan ong i: Irail karos raparapa kin komui.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 A ap kotin masani ong irail: Kitail daulul wong sap tei ko, pwe I en pil padak wasa o, pwe i me I kokido.
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 A ap kotin padapadak sili nan arail sinakoke kan nan sap en Kaliläa karos o kakaus tewil akan.
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 Ol tuketuk amen ap poto dong i kelepuki poeki potoan ong i: Ma re kotin kupura, re kotin kamakeke ia da!
[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 Iesus ari kupuro kila, kapawei lim a, sair i masani ong i: I pan, makelekelada!
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 A ni a masani eta, ari a tuketuk ko sang madang, a ap makelekel lar.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 I ari kalikedi i, ap madang kadarala.
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 Masani ong i: Kalaka! Koe depa indai ong meamen; a kowei kasale ong koe samero o, o kida, pweki om makelekelada, me Moses masani, pwen kadede ong irail.
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 Ari, a kolata kalokisili, suaiki sili o ari, kareda en Iesus a sola sansal koti dong kanim o, kotikot eta liki nan sap tan, irail ap pokon dong re a sang pali karos.
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.
