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].
Khawsa Capa, Jesu Khrih awithang leek ak kqannaak taw ve myihna awm hy.
Tawngha Isaiah ing: “Ka ceityih ce na haiawh tyi law kawng nyngsaw, anih ing na lam ce qoek abah law kaw.
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].”
Ramkoh awh ak khy awi ing, 'Bawipa a lam ce qoek abah unawh, a lamkhqi ce dyng sak lah uh, a tice.
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].”
Johan ce law nawh thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak aham zutnaak baptisma akawng ce kqawn nawh qamkoh awh baptisma ce pehy.
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.
Judah qam awhkaw thlangkhqi boeih ingkaw Jerusalem awhkaw thlangkhqi boeih ce anih a venna cet uhy. Ami thawlhnaakkhqi ce kqawn unawh, cekkhqi ce Johan ing Jordan long awh baptisma pek khqi hy.
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.
Johan ing kalauk myi hina bai nawh, ak cawi ce savyn ing zeen hy, khamkhawk ingkaw khawitui ce buh a an na ai hy.
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.
Anih ing vemyihna kqawn hy: “Kai ahu na kai anglakawh ak bau khqoet thlang law hyn kaw, kai taw koep doena anih a khawmyk qui ak hlam peek aham awm am kawih nyng.
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].”
Kai ing nangmih ve tui ing baptisma ni pek khqi nyng, cehlai anih ingtaw Ciim Myihla ing baptisma ni pek khqi kaw,” tinawh kqawn hy.
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].
Cawh Jesu taw Kalili qam Nazareth khaw awhkawng law nawh Johan ing Jordan tui awh baptisma pehy.
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.
Jesu tui awhkawng a hang law awh, khan ce awng qu nawh Myihla ce ak khan awh kqukkqu amyihna ak khan awh cuuk pehy.
11 And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
”Khan nakaw ing: “Nang taw ka ni lungnaak ka Capa ni, nak khan awh zeel soeih nyng,” tinawh awi ce law hy.
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
A khoeh phoeih awh Myihla ing anih ce qamkoh na tyi pahoei hy.
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.
Qamkoh awh ce khawnghi sawmli awm nawh, Setan ing sykzoek hy. Qamsakhqi mi awm haih unawh khan ceityihkhqi ing anih ce cuncah uhy.
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.
Johan ce thawng na amik thlak coengawh, Jesu taw Kalili qam na cet nawh, Khawsak awithang leek ce kqawn hy.
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])!”
”A tym khoek hawh hy, Khawsa ram taw zoe hawh hy, zut unawh awithang leek ve cangna lah uh!” tinak khqi hy.
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.
Jesu ing Kalili tui keng na a ceh awh, Simon ingkaw ana Andrew lawk anik khawng ce hu qawi hy, cekqawi taw ngakhawikung na awm hy nih.
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].
Cekqawi a venawh, “Ka hu awh bat law lah nih, thlang ak tukung na ni tak qawi vang,” tina hy.
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Cekkqawi ing lawkkhqi ce cehta nih nawh anih a hu awh bat pahoei hy nih.
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.
Cawhkawng va cet kqoep saw, Zebadi a caqawi Jakop ingkaw ana Johan, lawng ak khuiawh lawk anik bu ce hu hy.
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.
Cekkqawi ce khy saw, a ningnih ingawm a ni pa ingkaw anik thlang ceeikhqi ce lawng khuiawh cehta nih nawh anih a hu awh bat pehoei hy nih.
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].
Kaperanaum khaw na cet unawh, Sabbath nyn awh sinakawk khuina thlang cawngpyi hy.
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.
Anih ingtaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi a cawngpyinaak a myihna a cawngpyi kaana saithainaak ak ta thlang a cawngpyinaak a myihna a cawngpyi a dawngawh a cawngpyinaak awh thlangkhqi ce a ming ngaih kyi hy.
23 Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
Cawh sinakawk khuina qaih che ak ta thlang pynoet ing ak khy doena,
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 Jesu, kaimih ve ikaw ni ti nak khqi vang na ti? Kaimih hqe aham nak law nu? Nang ve Khawsa ak thlang ciim ni tice ni sim nyng!” tina hy.
25 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
Cawh Jesu ing, “Sit nawh! Thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng cawn lah,” tina hy.
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
Qaaiche ing ce ak thlang ce khawteh na thyn sak nawh ak kawk khui awhkawng khy doena cawn hy.
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]!”
Cawh ce cawhkaw ak awm thlangkhqi boeih boeih ce amik kawpoek kyi hy, “A u mih nu ve? Saithainaak ingkaw cawngpyinaak ak thaai vam haw ve! Qaaichekhqi awm awi pe saw ngai pe u tik maw ve,” ti uhy.
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Kawlkalh awh anih akawng ce Kalili ram pum awh thang khawnghak hy.
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.
Sinakawk ce ami cehtaak coengawh, Simon ingkaw Andrew a im awh Jakop ingkaw Johan ce ceh pyi hy.
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].
Cawh Simon a senu ce a sa tlo nawh zaih hy, ce akawng ce Jesu a venawh kqawn pe uhy.
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].
Jesu ing cet nawh a kut awh tu nawh thawh hy. Cawh anih ce a sa tlawh ing hlah pahoei nawh cekkhqi ce dodan hy.
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.
Khawmy ben khaw angtlaak coengawh, tlawhnaak soepkep ak ta thlangkhqi ing qaai ing amtu thlangkhqi ce a venawh law pyi uhy,
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
chawmkeng awh vangpum na ngawi kyng uhy,
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].
cawh tlawhnaak soepkep ak takhqi ce Jesu ing qoei sak hy. Qaaikhqi awm khawzah hqek hy, anih ce u nu ti ami sim a dawngawh, qaaikhqi ce awi khangoet awm ap kqawn sak khqi hy.
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.
A ngawi mymcang hqiit khaw a dai hlanawh Jesu taw tho nawh, a dingypnaak a hun na cet nawh cykcah hy.
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,
Simon ingkaw a pyikhqi ing anih ce sui uhy,
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
ami huh awhtaw, “Thlangkhqi ing nang ni sui uhy!” tina uhy.
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!”
Jesu ing, “Ak chang na khawceng khawcawi na cet hlah usih, cawh ni awi kak kqawn hly thai. Ve aham ni ka law,” tinak khqi hy.
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].
Cedawngawh Kalili ram pum awh cet nawh, sinakawkkhqi awh awi ce kqawn hy, qaaikhqi ce hqek hy.
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!”
Mynrai ak neh thlang pynoet ce a venawh law nawh khuk sym doena qeennaak thoeh hy, “Na ngaih awhtaw ni qoei sak thai hyk ti,” tina hy.
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]!”
Anih ing am qeen soeih a dawngawh, a baan ce zyng nawh bi hy. “Ngaih nyng ciimcaih hlah!” tina hy.
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Kawlkalh phoeih awh mynqaai ce ciimcaih nawh qoei tlang hy.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Awi yn ceet ceet nawh tyi hy.
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].”
”U a venawh awm koeh kqawn qoe qoe. Cehlai cet nawh a mingmih a venawh dyihthing na na awmnaak aham khawsoeih a venawh namah ingkaw namah ce vam huh qu lah, nang silh qunaak aham Mosi ak awipeek myihna ik-oeih ce suum lah,” tina hy.
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.
Cehlai anih ing cet nawh kqawn lat hy, cedawngawh ce ak awi ce thang khawnghak hy. Cedawngawh Jesu taw khawk khuiawh ang dang pyng na am cet thai voel nawh khawcengkhqi awh thlang a sitnaak kqang ce awm hy. Cehlai hun chang chang nakawng thlangkhqi ce a venna law uhy.
