< Mark 1 >

1 ([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].
Hiche hi Messiah Yeshua Christa, Pathen Chapa thudola kipana thupha chu ahi.
2
Isaiah Themgaovin anasei: “Veuvin, keiman na masang uva thupole kahin sol e. Aman lampi nagonpeh diu ahi.
3 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].”
Ama chu ahi gamthip a aw sam ging a, ‘Pakai hungna ding lampi semtoh-un! Amadin lampi sutheng un!’ tia chu,” anati bang in ahung kipan in ahi.
4 [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].”
Hiche thupole chu Twilutsah John chu ahi. Ama chu gamthip ah aumin chule mihon achonset kisih nau chule ngaidam channa dia Pathen ang aki heilut nau vetsahna dinga baptize achan diuvin thu ahil in ahi.
5 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.
Juda gam jouse, Jerusalem mite jouse chutoh, John mu ding le thusei ngai ding in ache uvin ahi. Chule amahon achonset nau aphondoh phat un, aman Jordan Luiyah baptize achansah in ahi.
6 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.
Akivonna chu sangongsang mul pon ahin, savun konggah-in akong ageh in, chule a-anneh chu khaokho le gam khoiju ahi.
7 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.
John'in, “Koiham khat hungvah ding ahitai, Ama chu keima sanga lenjo kei sanga lenjo cheh hi ding, keima akengchot khao sutlham dinga jong lom kahipoi.
8 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].”
Keiman twiya baptize kachansah nahi uvin, ahivangin Ama chun nangho Lhagao Thenga baptize nachansah diu ahi!” ati.
9 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].
Nikhat Galilee gamsunga Nazareth khoa kon in Yeshua ahung in, Jordan vadung ah John khut'in baptize achangtan ahi.
10 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.
Chuin Yeshua twi lah-a konin ahungdoh in, van akikehson Lhagao Theng vakhu bang in achungah ahungchu e.
11 And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
Van'ah aw ahung ging in: “Nangma kachapa deitah nahi, nachungah kalung alhai tangeiye,” ati.
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
Chuin Lhagaochun gamthip'a apuimang paiyin,
13 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.
Chua chun ni somli Satan lhep patep in aum in, gamsa ho laha aum in, vantil hon avengkol un ahi.
14 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.
Phat chomkhat jouvin John songkul'a akhum jou un, Yeshua Galilee gamah achen, Pathen Kipana Thupha ahil lhanglen,
15 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])!”
“Pathen phattep ahung lhungtai,” tin asam peh in, “Pathen Lenggam chu anaitai. Chonset na kon kisih unlang, Kipana Thupha hi tahsan un!” atin ahi.
16 [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.
Nikhat Yeshuan Galilee Dillen pang ajotpana ah ngaman'a kivah le nehhol, Simon le asopipa Andrew chun dillen a ngamatna len anase lhon aga tohkhan ahi.
17 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].
Yeshuan akou doh in, “Kanung hinjui lhon in, keiman miho matje nahil lhon inge!” atin ahi.
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Chuin amanin alen adalha lhon in anung ajuipai jeng lhontai.
19 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.
Chuin twipanga kon themkhat ache chon jepleh Yeshuan Zebedee chapateni, James le anaopa John chun kong sunga len ana khuiphat pet lhon amun,
20 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.
Amani chu akouvin ahileh, aman nin apau Zebedee toh kong sunga um thaloa agoihou chu adalha lhon in ajui lhontai.
21 [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].
Yeshua le akilhonpiho Capernaum khopiah achelut'un ahi. Cholngahni ahung lhunchun houin'ah ache uvin, hia chun thu ahil pantan ahi.
22 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.
Aman danthu sunho banga hillouva, thuneitah banga ahil jeh'in miho chun athuhil chu kidang asalheh-un ahi.
23 Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
Chuin hetloukah'in lhagao-boh vop mikhat houin'ah anaum in, ama chun ahin sampaiyin,
24 “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!”
“Nazareth Yeshua, ipi dinga kalah'uva hung kikum nahim? Keiho suchimit dinga hung nahim? Nangma koi nahi kahenai—Pathen Theng chu nahi!” ati.
25 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
Yeshuan amachu aphoh in, “Thip in! Ama a kon chun hungdoh in,” tin thu apen ahi.
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
Chuin lhagaoboh chun mipa chu aheh-in, hapen in apeng in ahung potdoh tai.
27 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]!”
Mijousen kidang asauvin, thilsoh chungchanga chun khat le khat akidong un ahi. “Hiche hi ipi kihilna thuthah hikit hitam? Itobang thuneina hitantem! Lhagaoboh jeng in jong athupeh angaiye!” atiuvin ahi.
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Yeshua Christa thu chu Galilee gamsung pumpiah aki thangsoh pai jeng tan ahi.
29 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.
Kikhopna in chu Yeshuan James le John toh adalhah jouvin Simon le Andrew in'ah alut un ahi.
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
Chua chun Simon nupanu chu khosih dammon analum e. Amahon adammo thu chu Yeshua ahetsah paiyun ahi.
31 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].
Hichun amanu koma chun achepheiyin akhut in atuh-in, akai thouvin atousah tai. Hichun akhosih chun alhatan, chuin amanu chu amaho neh ding sem in apangtai.
32 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.
Nilhum jou nilhah-in mihon ana damlou leh, thilhavop ho chu Yeshua koma ahin puiyun.
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
Kho mite jouse chu ave din kot khah phunga akitit dimsoh jeng e.
34 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].
Chuin Aman hivei chom chom veiya damlou mi tamtah adamsah'in, chule thilha tamtahma adeldoh'in ahi. Hinla Ama Christa ahi chu thilhahon ahet'u ahijeh-in thilhaho chu apaodoh sahpoi.
35 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.
Khovahlhah masang ajing jingkah-in Yeshua athouvin, apotdoh in gamthip munah achen, chua chun taona agamang in ahi.
36 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,
Chomkhat jouvin Simon le aloiho apotdohun, chuin agamudoh tauvin ahi.
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
Amudoh phat un ajah-a, “Mijouse hinla Nang nahol cheh-un,” atiuvin ahi.
38 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!”
Yeshuan adonbut in “Khopi danga jong kahil lhangle theina din che ute, hiche dinga chu hung kahi,” ati.
39 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].
Chuin Galilee gam sungsea achelen, akikhop nau intin'ah thu ahil lhanglen chule thilha adel dohpeh in ahi.
40 [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!”
Chuin miphah khat Yeshua hengah kijen damsah dingin ahung in, adilsun, ajah a, “Nalung ahileh neidamsah'a neisuh theng thei ahi,” ahung titai.
41 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]!”
Athusei chun alung atohkhah behseh jeh in, Yeshuan akhut alhang in atham in, “Kalung ahi,” atitai. Chuin, “Damthengtan!” ati leh,
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Apetpet'in aphah chu aphapai jengin, adamtheng tai.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Chuin amapa chu khamgahna aneiyin asoldohtai.
44 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].”
“Hichehi koima komah seidoh hih in. Hisang chun thempu koma chen lang gakivetsah'in. Mose dan thupehsa dungjuiya phah kijen damhon maicham thilto apeh ding dol chu choiyin lang gape tan. Hichu nadam thengna mipi het'a phondohna hiding ahi,” tin thupeh aneiyin ahi.
45 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.
Ahivang in amapa apotdoh in, thil umdol chu aseiphongle tan ahi. Hichea kon chun Yeshua chu mipin aum kimvelle jeng tan, hijeh chun lhangphong in khopi sunga alut thei tapoi. Hichun munthip thip lah-a aumjo tan, ahijeng vang'in muntina kon in mipin ahin jonlut jing nalaiyun ahi.
