Mark 1
1 Here is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Entandikwa y’Enjiri ya Yesu Kristo, Omwana wa Katonda.
2 Just as the prophet Isaiah wrote, “I'm sending my messenger ahead of you to prepare your way.
Kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya nnabbi Isaaya nti, “Laba ntuma omubaka wange akukulembere, ateeketeeke ekkubo lyo;
3 A voice is calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the Lord's way! Make his paths straight.’”
eddoboozi ly’oyo ayogelera waggulu mu ddungu nti, ‘Muteeketeeke ekkubo lya Mukama, mutereeze amakubo ge.’”
4 John came, baptizing in the desert, announcing a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Yokaana yajja ng’abatiriza mu ddungu, ng’abuulira okubatiza okw’okwenenya olw’okusonyiyibwa ebibi.
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.
Ensi yonna ey’e Buyudaaya n’abantu bonna ab’omu Yerusaalemi, ne bagendanga gy’ali, n’ababatiza mu mugga Yoludaani nga baatula ebibi byabwe.
6 John wore clothes made of camel hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
Yokaana yayambalanga ekyambalo eky’obwoya bw’eŋŋamira, ne yeesibanga olukoba olw’eddiba mu kiwato kye, era yalyanga nzige na mubisi gwa njuki.
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.
Yabuuliranga ng’agamba nti, “Waliwo omuntu omukulu era ansinga amaanyi ajja okujja, gwe sisaanira na kusumulula bukoba bwa ngatto ze.
8 I baptized you in water but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
Nze mbabatiza na mazzi, naye ye alibabatiza na Mwoyo Mutukuvu.”
9 Then Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
Awo olwatuuka mu nnaku ezo Yesu n’ava e Nazaaleesi mu Ggaliraaya n’ajja, Yokaana n’amubatiza mu mugga Yoludaani.
10 As Jesus came out of the water, he saw the heavens split apart and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.
Awo Yesu bwe yali yaakava mu mazzi, n’alaba eggulu nga libikkuse, ne Mwoyo ng’ali ng’ejjiba ng’amukkako.
11 A voice from heaven said, “You are my son, the one I love. I am very pleased with you.”
Eddoboozi ne liva mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, “Ggwe Mwana wange omwagalwa, ggwe, gwe nsanyukira ennyo.”
12 Right after this the Spirit sent him away into the desert
Amangwago Mwoyo n’amutwala mu ddungu.
13 where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was with the wild animals, and angels took care of him.
N’amalayo ennaku amakumi ana ng’ali n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko, ng’akemebwa Setaani, kyokka nga bamalayika bamuweereza.
14 Later, after John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, announcing God's good news.
Oluvannyuma nga Yokaana Omubatiza amaze okusibwa mu kkomera, Yesu n’ajja mu Ggaliraaya okubuulira Enjiri ya Katonda,
15 “The time predicted has come,” he said. “God's kingdom has arrived! Repent and believe in the good news.”
ng’agamba nti, “Ekiseera kituukiridde, n’obwakabaka bwa Katonda busembedde! Mwenenye mukkirize Enjiri.”
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.
Awo Yesu yali ng’ayita ku lubalama lw’ennyanja y’e Ggaliraaya, n’alaba Simooni ne muganda we Andereya nga basuula obutimba bwabwe mu nnyanja; kubanga baali bavubi.
17 “Come and follow me,” he told them, “and I will have you fishing for people.”
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mujje mungoberere nange ndibafuula abavubi b’abantu!”
18 They left their nets at once and followed him.
Amangwago ne baleka obutimba bwabwe ne bamugoberera.
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.
Bwe yeeyongerayo katono, n’alaba Yakobo ne Yokaana batabani ba Zebbedaayo, nga bali mu lyato baddaabiriza obutimba bwabwe.
20 Immediately he called them to follow him, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, and followed Jesus.
Amangwago n’abayita ne baleka kitaabwe Zebbedaayo mu lyato n’abapakasi, ne bagoberera Yesu.
21 They left for Capernaum, and on Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught there.
Awo ne bayingira mu Kaperunawumu. Amangwago n’ayingira mu kuŋŋaaniro ku Ssabbiiti, n’abayigiriza.
22 The people were amazed at his teaching, for he spoke with authority, unlike the religious teachers.
Ne beewuunya okuyigiriza kwe, kubanga yabayigiriza nga nannyini buyinza, so si ng’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bwe baakolanga.
23 Suddenly, right there in the synagogue, a man with an evil spirit started shouting out,
Amangwago ne walabika omusajja eyaliko omwoyo omubi mu ssinzizo, n’awowoggana,
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!”
ng’agamba nti, “Otwagaza ki Yesu Omunnazaaleesi? Ozze okutuzikiriza? Nkumanyi gwe Mutukuvu wa Katonda.”
25 Jesus interrupted the evil spirit, telling him, “Be quiet! Come out of him.”
Awo Yesu n’aguboggolera ng’agamba nti, “Sirika era muveeko.”
26 The evil spirit screamed, threw the man into convulsions, and came out of him.
Awo omwoyo omubi ne gumusikambula nnyo, ne gumuvaako.
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!”
Buli omu ne yeewuunya, ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Kuyigiriza kwa ngeri ki kuno okuggya okujjudde obuyinza? So n’emyoyo emibi agiragira ne gimugondera.”
28 News about him spread quickly throughout the whole region of Galilee.
Amangwago amawulire agamukwatako ne gasaasaana wonna mu byalo ebyetoolodde Ggaliraaya.
29 Then they left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
Amangwago ne bava mu kkuŋŋaaniro ne bagenda mu nnyumba ya Simooni ne Andereya nga bali ne Yakobo ne Yokaana.
30 Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, so they told Jesus about her.
Ne basanga nga nnyina muka Simooni agalamidde mulwadde omusujja. Amangwago ne bakitegeeza Yesu.
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.
Bwe yamusemberera, n’amukwata ku mukono n’amuyimusa, omusujja ne gumuwonako, n’abaweereza!
32 After sunset that evening, those who were sick and demon-possessed were brought to Jesus.
Awo obudde bwe bwali buwungeera, ng’enjuba egwa, ne bamuleetera abalwadde bonna, n’abaaliko dayimooni.
33 The whole of the town gathered outside.
Ekibuga kyonna ne kikuŋŋaanira ku luggi.
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.
Era Yesu n’awonya abalwadde bangi abaalina endwadde ez’enjawulo era n’abaaliko baddayimooni bangi n’ababagobako, ne baddayimooni teyabaganya kwogera, kubanga baali bamumanyi.
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went alone to a quiet place to pray.
Enkeera ng’obudde tebunnalaba yesu n’azuukuka n’agenda yekka mu kifo ekyekusifu, okusaba.
36 Simon and the others went to search for him.
Awo Simooni ne be yali nabo ne bamunoonya,
37 When they found him, they told him, “Everybody's looking for you.”
bwe baamulaba ne bamugamba nti, “Buli muntu akunoonya.”
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.”
Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Tugende awalala mu byalo ebituliraanye, n’abeeyo mbabuulire, kubanga ekyo kye najjirira.”
39 So he went all over Galilee, speaking in the synagogues and expelling demons.
Awo n’abuulira mu makuŋŋaaniro ag’omu kitundu kyonna eky’e Ggaliraaya, era n’agoba ne baddayimooni.
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!”
Awo omugenge n’ajja eri Yesu ne yeegayirira ng’afukamidde mu maaso ge, n’amugamba nti, “Bwe kuba nga kwe kusiima kwo, oyinza okunnongoosa.”
41 With compassion Jesus reached out and touched the man, and said, “I am willing. Be healed!”
Yesu n’amusaasira, n’agolola omukono gwe, n’amukwatako, n’amugamba nti, “Nsiimye, longooka!”
42 The leprosy left him immediately, and he was healed.
Amangwago ebigenge ne bimuwonako, n’aba mulongoofu.
43 Jesus sent him away with a strong warning.
Awo Yesu n’amukuutira nnyo n’amusiibula,
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.”
ng’agamba nti, “Kino tokibuulirako muntu n’omu, wabula genda weeyanjule eri kabona, oweeyo n’ekirabo Musa kye yalagira okuweebwangayo, okuba obujulirwa gye bali.”
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.
Naye omusajja n’atandika okwogera ku ebyo ebyamubaako, n’okubibunyisa. Yesu n’atasobola kuyingira mu kibuga mu lwatu, naye n’abeeranga mu bifo ebyekusifu. Abantu ne bajjanga gy’ali okuva mu njuyi zonna.
