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].
Ma e chakruok mar Injili mar Yesu Kristo Wuod Nyasaye.
En mana kaka ondiki e kitap Janabi Isaya niya, “Abiro oro jaotena otel e nyimi, obiro losoni yo.”
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].”
“Ngʼat moro kok e thim niya, ‘Losuru yo ne Jehova Nyasaye, losneuru yo moriere tir.’”
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].”
Kuom mano, Johana nowuok e thim koyalo ni mondo ji oyud batiso kaka ranyisi ni giselokore gidwogo ir Nyasaye kendo oweyonegi richogi.
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.
Kuom mano, jopiny Judea duto kod ji duto moa Jerusalem nowuok odhi ire. Ne gihulo richogi mi Johana nobatisogi e Aora Jordan.
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.
Johana norwakore gi lewni molos gi yie ngamia kendo notweyo kamba mar pien e nungone. Nochamo bonyo kod mor kich manie thim.
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.
Wach mane Johana yalo ne chal kama: “Ngʼat moro biro bangʼa ma oloya gi duongʼ, ok awinjora gonyo kata tond wuochene.
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].”
An abatisou gi pi, to en obiro batisou gi Roho Maler.”
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].
E kindeno Yesu nobiro koa Nazareth, e piny Galili mi Johana nobatise e aora Jordan.
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.
Kane oyudo Yesu wuok aa ei pi, noneno polo kayawore kendo ka Roho Maler lor mondo opi kuome e kido mar akuru.
11 And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
To dwol maduongʼ noa e polo kawacho niya, “In e Wuoda mahero. Chunya mor kodi.”
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
Gikanyono Roho Maler nokawo Yesu motere e thim,
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.
kendo nodak e thim kuno kuom ndalo piero angʼwen, ka Satan teme. E thim kuno Yesu nodak e kind le mag thim, to malaike ne tiyone.
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.
Kane osetwe Johana e od twech, Yesu nodhi Galili, koyalo Injili mar Nyasaye.
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])!”
Noyalo niya, “Sa osechopo kendo pinyruoth Nyasaye osekayo machiegni. Weuru richo kendo yieuru Injili.”
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.
Kane oyudo Yesu wuotho e dho Nam Galili, noneno Simon gi owadgi ma Andrea ka jobolo gokgi e nam, nimar ne gin jolupo.
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].
Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Biuru uluwa, mondo kar ywayo rech to aketu ubed joywa ji.”
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Gisano ne giweyo gogo mag-gi gisano mi giluwe.
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.
Yesu nomedo chwalore nyime matin mi noneno Jakobo wuod Zebedi gi owadgi ma Johana ka jobet e yie kendo loso gokegi.
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.
Gikanyono Yesu noluongogi, kendo ne giweyo wuon-gi ma Zebedi e yie, kaachiel gi jotich mane konyogi, mi giluwe.
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].
Negidhi Kapernaum, to kane Sabato ochopo, Yesu nodonjo e sinagogi mi ochako puonjo.
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.
Ji nowuoro puonjne, nikech nopuonjo ka ngʼat man-gi teko, to ok ka Jopuonj Chik.
23 Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
To kanyono ei sinagogi ne nitie ngʼat moro mane nigi jachien marach. Ngʼatni noywak matek kowacho niya,
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!”
“Yesu ja-Nazareth, en angʼo midwaro timonwa? Isebiro mondo itiekwa koso? Angʼeyo ni in Ngʼat Maler Mar Nyasaye!”
25 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
To Yesu nokwere gi dwol matek niya, “Lingʼ thi! Wuogi ia kuome!”
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
Jachien marachno noyuko ngʼatno mi ogoyo koko gi dwol ma liyore, bangʼe oa oweye.
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]!”
Jogo duto nowuoro ahinya, magipenjore niya, “Ma to en angʼo? Puonj manyien kendo man-gi teko! Ngʼatni chiko koda ka jochiende kendo giwinje.”
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Humb Yesu ne olandore piyo piyo e gwenge duto molworo Galili.
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.
Bangʼe kane gisea e sinagogi negidhi kaachiel gi Jakobo kod Johana e dalagi Simon gi Andrea.
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].
To min chi Simon nonindo e kitanda, ka tuo mar midhusi onure. Joma nenikanyo nonyiso Yesu wachno piyo piyo.
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].
Omiyo Yesu nodhi ire, momako lwete kokonye mondo ochungʼ. Midhusi noweye kendo nochungʼ mochako miyogi chiemo.
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.
Odhiambono, ka piny noseyuso, ji nokelo ne Yesu jotuo duto kaachiel gi joma nigi jochiende.
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
Ji mane ni e dalano duto nochokore e dhoot kama ne Yesu nitie,
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].
to Yesu nochango ji mathoth mane nigi kit tuoche mayoreyore. Bende noriembo jochiende oa kuom ji, to ne ok oyiene jochiendego mondo owuo nikech negingʼeyo ni en ngʼa.
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.
Kinyne kogwen ka piny pod olil, Yesu nochiewo mowuok e ot kama noninde. Nowuok modhi kar kende kama ochwalore, mi nolemo kuno.
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 gi jowetene ne jodhi manye,
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
kendo kane giyude to negiwachone niya, “Ji duto manyi.”
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!”
To Yesu nodwokogi kawacho niya, “Wadhiuru kamachielo e gwenge man machiegni, mondo kuno bende ayalie.” Mano emomiyo asebiro.
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].
Omiyo nowuotho e piny Galili duto, koyalo e sinagokegi kendo koriembo jochiende kuom ji.
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!”
Ngʼat moro man-gi dhoho nobiro mogoyo chonge piny e nyim Yesu kosaye niya, “Kiyie to inyalo pwodha.”
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]!”
Yesu nokecho ngʼatno morieyo bade momule, kowacho niya, “Ayie, pwodhri!”
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Gikanyono dhoho norumo kuom ngʼatno mochango.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Yesu nogonyo ngʼatno piyo piyo mondo odhi kochike matek niya,
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].”
“Ne ni ok inyiso ngʼato wachni. To dhiyo mondo inyisri ne jadolo kendo ichiw misengini ma Musa nochiko nikech pwodhruokni, mano nobed ranyisi ne gin.”
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.
Kar timo kamano to ngʼatni nochako lando wachno e sa nogo mane oa ir Yesu. Kuom mano Yesu koro ne ok nyal donjo ayanga e dala moro amora, to nodak mana oko kuonde ma ji ongee. To kata kamano ji ne pod biro ire koa kuonde duto.
