1 Pathen Capa Jesuh Khrih kah olthangthen a tongnah.
Beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 Tonghma Isaiah dongah a daek tangtae bangla, “Nang hmai ah kamah kah puencawn kan tueih ne, anih loh na longpuei te a rhoekbah ni.
even as it is written in the prophet Isaiah, Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face to prepare your way.
3 Khosoek ah pang ol loh, “Boeipa kah longpuei te rhoekbah uh'a caehlong te a dueng la saii uh,” a ti.
The voice of one crying aloud. In the desert make ready a road for the Lord. Make his paths straight.
4 Johan tah khosoek ah aka nuem la om tih tholh khodawkngainah dongah yutnah baptisma a kawng thui.
In the desert came Johnwho baptized, and preached a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
5 Te dongah Judah kho boeih neh Jerusalem pum loh anih taengla khong uh. Te vaengah a tholhnah te a phong uh tih Jordan tuiva ah Johan loh a nuem.
and all the land of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem, kept going out to him, and were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
6 Te vaengah aka om Johan loh kalauk mul a bai tih, a pumpu ah maehpho cihin a naak tih tangboeng neh kohong khoitui te a caak.
And Johnwas clothed with camel’s hair, and he had a leather girdle round his loins, and he ate locusts, and "honey of the wood."
7 A hoe vaengah, “Kai lakah aka len tah kai hnukah ha pawk. A taengah ka buluk tih a khokhom rhui hlam ham pataeng ka koih pawh.
He made proclamation. "There is One mightier than I coming after me, and I am not worthy to stoop down and unfasten his sandal strap;
8 Kai loh nangmih te tui ah kan nuem, dae anih long tah nangmih te Mueihla Cim ah n'nuem ni,” a ti.
I have baptized you in water, but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit."
9 Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah Jesuh khaw Galilee kah Nazareth lamkah halo tih, Jordan ah Johan loh a nuem.
It was at that time that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by Johnin the Jordan;
10 Tui khui lamkah koe a thoh vaengah vaan te ong uh tih Mueihla te vahu bangla a soah a rhum te a hmuh.
and as soon as he rose from the water he saw the sky cleft asunder, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him,
11 Te vaengah vaan lamkah ol ha thoeng tih, “Nang tah Capa ka thintlola na om, nang taengah ka lungtlun,” a ti.
and a voice from the sky. "Thou art my Son, my beloved; in thee is my delight."
12 Te phoeiah anih te Mueihla loh khosoek la thaeng a khuen.
Then the Spirit drove him at once into the desert,
13 Khosoek ah khohnin sawmli a om vaengah Satan loh a cuek. Te vaengah satlung taengah khaw om dae anih te puencawn rhoek loh a khut uh.
and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was among the wild beasts, but the angels were ministering to him.
14 Tedae Johan te a voeih uh phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee la pawk. Te vaengah Pathen kah olthangthen te a hoe.
After Johnhad been thrown into prison Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of God.
15 Te vaengah, “A tue te soep coeng tih Pathen ram tah yoei coeng, yut uh lamtah olthangthen te tangnah uh laeh,” a ti.
"The time is now come," he said, "and the kingdom of God is near! Repent and believe the gospel."
16 Tedae Galilee tuili kaengah a caeh vaengah, Simon neh Simon mana Andrew tah tuihoi la om rhoi tih tuili ah lawk ana voeih rhoi te a hmuh.
And as he was passing along by the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen;
17 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih rhoi te, “Kai hnukah bang rhoi lamtah nangmih rhoi te hlang aka tu tuihoi la om ham kang khueh eh?,” a ti nah.
so Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."
18 Te dongah lawk na te pak a hlah rhoi tih Jesuh te a vai rhoi.
At once they left their nets and followed him.
19 Tedae hawt a caeh vaengah Zebedee capa James neh a mana Johan te a hmuh. Te vaengah amih rhoi te lawng khuiah lawk a bo rhoi.
As he went a little farther on he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, who also were in their boat mending the nets.
20 Te dongah amih rhoi te pahoi a khue hatah a napa Zebedee neh lawng khuiah a kutloh rhoek te pak a hlah tih amah hnukah cet rhoi.
Straightway he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants and went after him.
21 Kapernaum la a kun uh vaengkah Sabbath ah tah tunim la tlek kun tih a thuituen.
So they came to Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath Day came he went into the synagogue and began to teach.
22 Te vaengah anih kah thuituennah soah let uh. Amih a thuituen te saithainah aka khueh la om tih cadaek rhoek bangla om pawh.
They were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them with authority, not like the Scribes.
23 Amih kah tunim ah hlang pakhat tah mueihla thae neh lawt om.
And at that very moment, there in their synagogue, a man in the grip of an unclean spirit shrieked out.
24 Te vaengah pang tih, “Nazareth Jesuh kaimih neh nang te mebang tloe lae? Kaimih he poci sak ham nim na pawk? Nang unim ti khaw kam ming ta, Pathen kah hlangcim la,” a ti nah.
"What business have you with us, you Jesus of Nazareth? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God."
25 Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a ho tih, “Paa lamtah anih lamloh cet laeh,” a ti nah.
But Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quit! Come out of him."
26 Te vaengah mueihla thae loh anih te a suvaih sak. Te phoeiah ol a len la pang tih anih lamloh coe.
So the unclean spirit, after tearing him, came out of him with a loud cry;
27 Te vaengah boeih a ngaihmang uh. Te dongah amamih te oelh uh thae tih, “Metlam nim he? Saithainah neh thuituennah a thai loh, mueihla thae rhoek pataeng a tueih vaengah a ol a ngai uh,” a ti uh.
and every one was amazed so that they began questioning among themselves. "What does this mean? A new teaching with authority? He lays commands even upon unclean spirits and they obey him."
28 Te dongah a olthang tah Galilee pingpang khotomrhali boeih ah cet khonghak.
And at once his fame spread everywhere through that part of Galilee.
29 Te phoeiah tunim lamloh tlek cet uh tih James neh Johan khaw, Simon neh Andrew im la pawk uh.
On leaving the synagogue they went at once with Jamesand Johnto the house of Simon and Andrew.
30 Tedae Simon masae tah tlo tih yalh. Te dongah anih ham te Jesuh taengah tlek a thui uh.
Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick of fever, and without delay they told him about her.
31 Te dongah a paan tih a kut te a tuuk pah. Anih te a thoh vaengah anih te satloh loh a hlah tih amih te a kok.
So he came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.
32 Hlaem a pha tih khomik a tlak vaengah tloh aka khueh rhoek neh rhaithae aka kaem boeih te Jesuh taengla a khuen uh.
At evening when the sun had set, people came and brought to him all the sick and demon-possessed,
33 Te vaengah kho pum ah aka om te thohka ah tingtun uh.
and the whole town was gathered at the door.
34 Te phoeiah tlohtat soeprhep aka khueh hlangtlo muep a hoeih sak. Rhaithae khaw muep a haek. Tedae amah te aming uh dongah rhaithae rhoek te cal sak pawh.
He cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons. But he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.
35 Tedae khohmuep aih. ah yueya thoo tih aka nong te khosoek hmuen la cet tih thangthui.
In the morning he rose a great while before day and went out to a desert place, and there prayed.
36 Te vaengah Simon neh a taengkah rhoek loh Jesuh hnuk a dawn uh.
And Simon and his companions hunted him up,
37 Tedae Jesuh te a hmuh uh vaengah a taengah, “Nang te boeih n'toem,” a ti nauh.
and told him, "Every one is looking for you."
38 Te vaengah amih te, “Kho om nah takuem ah cet uh sih lamtah, teah khawka hoeeh. Te hamni ka lo rhoe,” a ti nah.
"Let us go away," he answered, "to the neighboring country towns, that I may preach there, too; because for that purpose I came forth."
39 Te dongah Galilee pum ah cet tih amih kah tunim ah olthangthen a hoe phoeiah rhaithae te a vai.
So he went throughout Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.
40 Te vaengah, hmaibae pakhat tah anih taengah pawk tih a hloep phoeiah a cungkueng thil. Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Boeipa na ngaih koinih kai he nan cim sak thai ni,” a ti nah.
One day a leper cane to him and besought him as he knelt down to him, saying, "If you choose, you are able to cleanse me."
41 Te vaengah a thinphat tih a kut te a yueng. Anih te a taek tih, “Ka ngaih ta, cim saeh,” a ti nah.
Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose, be clean!"
42 Te vaengah hmaibae tah anih lamloh pahoi nong tih cim.
The leprosy at once left him, and he was made clean.
43 Te phoeiah thanueih ah anih te tlek a tueih.
Jesus immediately sent him away, charging him sternly and saying.
44 Tedae anih te, “Na thui loeng loeng pawt ham ngaithuen. Namah cet lamtah khosoih na tueng phoeiah na cimcaihnah dongah Moses loh a uen te tah nawn pah. Te tew amih taengah paipueinah la om saeh,” a ti nah.
"See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them."
45 Tedae a caeh neh a tong tih pung a hoe dongah ol te yilhcet. Te dongah Jesuh tah kho khuiah loloh kun thai voel pawh. Te phoeiah tah khosoek hmuen ah vawl om dae anih te a taengvai lamloh a paan uh.
But he went out and began to tell every one and to publish it broadcast, so that Jesus could no longer enter any town openly; but he had to remain outside in lonely places, and people kept coming to him from every quarter.
