This is the 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.
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Look, I am sending my messenger before your face, the one who will prepare your way.

The voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.'”

John came, baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness 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.
The whole country of Judea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. They 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.
John was wearing a coat of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and he was eating locusts and wild honey.
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 proclaimed, “One will come after me who is more powerful than I; the strap of his sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 Kai loh nangmih te tui ah kan nuem, dae anih long tah nangmih te Mueihla Cim ah n'nuem ni,” a ti.
I baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah Jesuh khaw Galilee kah Nazareth lamkah halo tih, Jordan ah Johan loh a nuem.
It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and he was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
10 Tui khui lamkah koe a thoh vaengah vaan te ong uh tih Mueihla te vahu bangla a soah a rhum te a hmuh.
As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Spirit coming down on him like a dove.
11 Te vaengah vaan lamkah ol ha thoeng tih, “Nang tah Capa ka thintlola na om, nang taengah ka lungtlun,” a ti.
A voice came out of the heavens, “You are my beloved Son. I am very pleased with you.”

Then the Spirit compelled him to go out into the wilderness.
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.
He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels served him.
14 Tedae Johan te a voeih uh phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee la pawk. Te vaengah Pathen kah olthangthen te a hoe.
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming 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.
He said, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in 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.
When he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in 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.
Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Then immediately they left the 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 Jesus was walking on a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and John his brother; they were in the 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.
He called them and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and they followed him.
21 Kapernaum la a kun uh vaengkah Sabbath ah tah tunim la tlek kun tih a thuituen.
Then they came into Capernaum, and on the Sabbath, Jesus went into the synagogue and taught.
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 as someone who has authority and not as the scribes.
23 Amih kah tunim ah hlang pakhat tah mueihla thae neh lawt om.
Just then a man in their synagogue who had an unclean spirit cried 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.
saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. 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.
Jesus rebuked the demon and said, “Be quiet and 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.
The unclean spirit threw him down and went out from him while crying out with a loud voice.

All the people were amazed, so they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority? He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him!”
28 Te dongah a olthang tah Galilee pingpang khotomrhali boeih ah cet khonghak.
The news about him went out everywhere into the whole region of Galilee.
29 Te phoeiah tunim lamloh tlek cet uh tih James neh Johan khaw, Simon neh Andrew im la pawk uh.
After coming out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
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 was lying sick with a fever, and they told Jesus 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, took her by the hand, and raised her up; the fever left her, and she started serving 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.
That evening, after the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed by demons.

The whole city gathered together 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.

35 Tedae khohmuep aih. ah yueya thoo tih aka nong te khosoek hmuen la cet tih thangthui.
He got up very early, while it was still dark; he left and went out into a solitary place and there he prayed.
36 Te vaengah Simon neh a taengkah rhoek loh Jesuh hnuk a dawn uh.
Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
37 Tedae Jesuh te a hmuh uh vaengah a taengah, “Nang te boeih n'toem,” a ti nauh.
They found him and they said to him, “Everyone 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.
He said, “Let us go elsewhere, out into the surrounding towns, so that I may preach there also. That is why I came out here.”
39 Te dongah Galilee pum ah cet tih amih kah tunim ah olthangthen a hoe phoeiah rhaithae te a vai.
He went throughout all of Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

A leper came to him. He was begging him; he knelt down and said to him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying to him, “I am willing. Be clean.”
42 Te vaengah hmaibae tah anih lamloh pahoi nong tih cim.
Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
43 Te phoeiah thanueih ah anih te tlek a tueih.
Jesus strictly warned him and sent him away.
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.
He said to him, “Be sure to say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as 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 spread the news widely, so much that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but he stayed out in remote places. Yet people were still coming to him from everywhere.
