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].
Bunu ni bwambilo bhwe misango jo bhwana eja Yesu Kristo, omwana wa Nyamuanga.
Lwa kutyo jandikilwe no mulagi Isaya, “Lola, enimutuma omukosi wani imbele yao, oumwi unu kajo okuchuma-chuma injila yao.
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].”
Obhulaka bhwo munu unu kabhilikila ibhala, “Ichumwe kisi injila ya Lata bhugenyi; Jigololwe kisi jinjila jae”.
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].”
Yohana ejile, nabhatija ibhala no kusimula obhubhatijo bhwo kuta no kwiswalililwa ebhikayo.
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.
Echalo chona echa Yudea na abhanu bhona abha Yerusalemu bhagendele ewae. Bhaliga nibhabhatija nage mu mugela gwa Yordani, nibhegamba ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.
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.
Yohana aliga nafwala echifwalo bhwo bhufufi bhwa Ingamia na lifwata lyo lwai muchibhunu chae, na aliga nalya jinsige no bhuki bhwe mwila.
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.
Asimuye no kwaika, “Alio umwi unu kajokuja inyuma yani unu ankilile kula amanaga anye, nitana chibhalo nolwo okwinama emwalo no kusulumula jingoye je bhilato byae.
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].”
Anye nabhabhatijishe mu maji, mbe nawe omwene kabhabhatija emwe mu Mwoyo Mwelu.”
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].
Munaku ejo jabhonekene ati Yesu ejile okusoka Nazareti ya Galilaya, mbe nabhatijibhwa na Yohana mu mugela gwa Yordani.
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.
Mu mwanya Yesu ejile enamuka okusoka mu maji, alolele olwile nilugabhanyika nabha abhwelu na Mwoyo namwikila namujako ali uti njibha.
11 And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
No bhulaka nibhusoka mu lwile, “Awe uli mwana wani omwendwa. Enikondelelwa muno nawe.”
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
Okumala ao nao Mwoyo namusinyilisha okuja ibhala.
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.
Abheeyo ibhala naku makumi gana, nasakwa na Shetani. Aliga ali na jityanyi je mwila jindulu, na Bhamalaika nibhamufulubhendela.
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.
Oli ejile Yohana agwatibhwa, Yesu ejile Galilaya nalasha omusango gwo bhwana ogwa Nyamuanga,
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])!”
Naika,”Omwanya gwakumila, no bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhwelila ayei. Mute no kwikilisha mu musango gwo bhwana.”
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.
Anu aliga nalabha kunjejekela ya Galilaya, amulolele Simoni na Andrea owabho Simoni nibhatega emitego jebhwe mu nyanja, kwo kubha bhaliga bhategi.
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 abhabhwiliye, “Muje, mundubhe, ne enibhakola kubha bhategi bha bhanu.”
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Ao nao nibhajisiga emitego nibhamulibha.
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.
Mu mwanya Yesu ejile alibhatao kula kutoto, amulolele Yakobho omwana wa Jebhedayo na Yohana omumula wabho; bhaliga mu bhwato nibhasobhola emitego.
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.
Okwiya nabhabhilikila na bhene nibhamusiga esemwene webhwe Jebhedayo mu bhwato na bhakosi bhanu bhaliga bhaliga bho kuliywa, nibhamulubha.
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].
Mbe bhejile bhakinga Kaperinaumu, mu lunaku olwa isabhato, Yesu engie mulikofyanyisho no kwiigisha.
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.
Eliigisho lyae lyabhatang'ang'anyishe, lwa kutyo aliga nabheigisha lwo munu unu ali no bhutulo na atali lwa abhandiki.
23 Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
Mu mwanya ogwo ogwo aliga alio omunu mulikofyanyisho lyebhwe unu aliga no musambhwa mujabhi, aliga nakunga,
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!”
naika, “Chili na chinuki echokukola nawe, Yesu owa Nanjareti? Wijile okuchisimagisha? Enikumenya awe nawega. Awe nu Mulengelesi enyele owa Nyamuanga!”
25 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
Yesu naligonya lisambwa elyo no kwaika, “Jibila na umusokemo!”
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
Mbe lisambwa lijabhi elyo nilimugwisha ansi mu mwanya ogwo namusokako nalila kwo bhulaka bhwa ingulu.
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]!”
Mbe abhanu bhone nibhatang'ang'ala, kwibhyo nibhabhushanya bhuli umwi, “Chinu Niki? Eliigisho eyaya elyo bhutulo? Kalagilila amasambwa amajabhi ona agamuyana echibhalo!”
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Emisango jo kulubhana no mwene nijitalala bhuli ebhala mu musi gwona ogwa Galilaya.
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.
Na bhwangu wejile auluka mulikofyanyisho, bhengie mu nyumba ya Simoni na Andrea bhali Yakobho na Yohana.
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].
Mbe woli nyabhuko Simoni aliga amamile ali mulwae wo muswija, bhwangu nibhamubhwila Yesu emisango jae.
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].
Kwibhyo ejile, amugwatile no kubhoko, no kumwinamusha ingulu; Omuswija nigumusokako na namba okubhafulubhendela.
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.
Kegolo eyo omwanya gwa lisubha lyalagae, bhamuletee ewae bhona bhanu bhaliga bhalwae, amwi na bhanu bhaliga bhaungilwe amasambwa.
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
Omusi gwona bhekofyanyishe amwi mu mulyango.
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].
Abheulisishe bhwafu bhanu bhaliga bhalwae abha malwala ga bhuli mbaga no kusoshako amasambwa mafu, nawe atekilisishe amasambwa okwaika ku nsonga bhamumenyele.
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.
Emukile katondo mumachelelesha, chichali chisute; asokeleo no kuja ebhala lyo bhiibhise no kusabhwa eyo.
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,
Simoni na bhona bhanu bhaliga bhali amwi nage nibhamulubha.
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
Nibhamubhona mbe nibamubhwila, “Bhuli umwi kakuiga”.
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!”
Abhabhwiliye, “Chigende ebhala lindi, anja mu misi jinu jiindile, koleleki eyo one nitule okusimula. Niyo insonga nijile anu.”
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].
Agendelee nalabha mu Galilaya Yona, nasimula mu mekofyanyisho gebhwe no kugonya amasambwa.
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!”
Omugege umwi namujako ku mwene. aliga namwilembeleja; Nafukama no kumubhwila, “Alabha owenda, outula okukola nibhe muanga.”
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]!”
Nasindikwa ne chigogo, Yesu nagolola okubhoko kwae no kumukunyako,”Namubhwila, “Enenda. ubhe muanga.”
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Ao nao ebhigege nibhimusokako, na eulisibhwe nabha muanga.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Yesu namukomelesha muno namubhwila agende bwangu,
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].”
Amubhwilie, “komelesha ati utakutula kwaika musango ku wona wona, mbe nawe genda, uje okwiyelesha ku mugabhisi, na usoshe echogo kulwo kwela ku bhinu Musa alagilie, kuti bhubhambasi ku bhene.”
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.
Mbe nawe agendele no kwamba okumubhwila Bhuli umwi no kulasha muno omusango nolwo Yesu atatulile lindi okwingila mu musi gwo abhwelu bhwelu. Kwibyo enyanjile enyelela na bhanu nibhamujako ku mwene okusoka bhuli ebhala.
