< Mark 1 >

1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Kĩambĩrĩria kĩa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũkoniĩ Jesũ Kristũ Mũrũ wa Ngai.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way";
O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa Isaia ũrĩa mũnabii atĩrĩ: “Nĩngũtũma mũtũmwo wakwa athiĩ mbere yaku, ũrĩa ũgũgũthondekera njĩra yaku.”
3 "The voice of one crying aloud: 'In the Desert prepare a road for the Lord: Make His highways straight.'"
“Kũrĩ mũgambo wa mũndũ ũkwanĩrĩra werũ-inĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Haarĩriai njĩra ya Mwathani, rũngariai njĩra ciake.’”
4 So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for forgiveness of sins.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Johana ookire akĩhunjagia, na akĩbatithanagĩria werũ-inĩ. Aahunjagia atĩ andũ merire, nĩguo marekerwo mehia mao, nĩgeetha mabatithio.
5 There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.
Nao andũ othe a bũrũri wa Judea na andũ othe a Jerusalemu magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we. Moimbũraga mehia mao, nake akamabatithĩria rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani.
6 As for John, his garment was of camel's hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Johana ehumbaga nguo ciathondeketwo na guoya wa ngamĩĩra, na nĩehotoraga mũcibi wa rũũa njohero, na aarĩĩaga ngigĩ na ũũkĩ wa gĩthaka.
7 His announcement was, "There is One coming after me mightier than I--One whose sandal-strap I am unworthy to stoop down and unfasten.
Nayo ndũmĩrĩri yake yarĩ ĩno: “Thuutha wakwa nĩgũgũũka mũndũ ũngĩ ũrĩ na hinya kũngĩra, ũrĩa niĩ itagĩrĩire kũinamĩrĩra njohore ndigi cia iraatũ ciake.
8 I have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
Niĩ ndĩmũbatithagia na maaĩ, nowe arĩmũbatithagia na Roho Mũtheru.”
9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan;
Na rĩrĩ, ihinda o rĩu Jesũ agĩũka oimĩte Nazarethi kũu Galili, na akĩbatithio nĩ Johana rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani.
10 and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him;
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimĩraga maaĩ-inĩ akĩona igũrũ rĩahingũka, nake Roho Mũtheru akĩmũikũrũkĩra ahaana ta ndutura.
11 and a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
Mũgambo ũkiuma igũrũ ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “We nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete, na nĩngenaga mũno nĩwe.”
12 At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the Desert,
Na o rĩmwe Roho akĩmuoya akĩmũtwara werũ-inĩ,
13 where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.
na agĩikara kũu werũ-inĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, akĩgeragio nĩ Shaitani. Nake aikaranagia na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, nao araika makamũtungatagĩra.
14 Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God's Good News.
Thuutha wa Johana gũikio njeera, Jesũ agĩthiĩ Galili akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai,
15 "The time has fully come," He said, "and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ihinda nĩikinyu, naguo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkuhĩrĩirie. Mwĩrirei mwĩtĩkie Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega!”
16 One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aathiiagĩra hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria rĩa Galili, nĩonire Simoni na mũrũ wa nyina Anderea magĩikia neti ciao iria-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo maarĩ ategi a thamaki.
17 "Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, mũnũmĩrĩre, na nĩngamũtua ategi a andũ.”
18 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
O rĩmwe magĩtiganĩria neti ciao makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
19 Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.
Na aathiathia hanini, akĩona Jakubu mũrũ wa Zebedi hamwe na mũrũ wa nyina Johana marĩ gatarũ-inĩ makĩhaarĩria neti ciao.
20 They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.
O rĩmwe akĩmeeta, nao magĩtiga ithe wao Zebedi gatarũ-inĩ hamwe na aruti ake a wĩra na makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
21 So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.
Nao magĩthiĩ Kaperinaumu, na rĩrĩa mũthenya wa Thabatũ wakinyire, Jesũ agĩtoonya thunagogi na akĩambĩrĩria kũrutana.
22 The people listened with amazement to His teaching--for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of the Scribes--
Na andũ makĩgegio nĩ ũrutani wake, nĩgũkorwo aamarutaga ta mũndũ warĩ na ũhoti, no ti ta arutani a watho.
23 when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ o ĩyo kũu thunagogi yao, nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ warĩ na ngoma thũku, nake akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ,
24 "What have you to do with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--God's Holy One."
“Ũrenda atĩa na ithuĩ, wee Jesũ wa Nazarethi? Ũũkĩte gũtũniina? Nĩnjũũĩ wee nĩwe ũ! Wee nĩwe Ũrĩa-Mũtheru-wa-Ngai.”
25 But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, "Silence! come out of him."
Nake Jesũ akĩmĩkũma na hinya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kira na uume thĩinĩ wake!”
26 So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.
Ngoma ĩyo thũku ĩkĩmũthukathuka na hinya na ĩkiuma thĩinĩ wake ĩgĩkayaga.
27 And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, "What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching--and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders and they obey him!"
Andũ acio othe makĩgega mũno nginya makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ ũrĩkũ? Ũyũ nĩ ũrutani mwerũ, wĩ na ũhoti! Nĩ araatha o na ngoma thũku na ikamwathĩkĩra.”
28 And His fame spread at once everywhere in all that part of Galilee.
Nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja na ihenya bũrũri wothe wa Galili.
29 Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.
Na maarĩkia kuuma thunagogi, magĩthiĩ na Jakubu na Johana mũciĩ gwa Simoni na Anderea.
30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.
Na rĩrĩ, nyina wa mũtumia wa Simoni aarĩ gĩtanda-inĩ arĩ mũrũaru mũrimũ wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ, nao makĩĩra Jesũ ũhoro wake.
31 So He went to her, and taking her hand He raised her to her feet: the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩthiĩ harĩa aarĩ, akĩmũnyiita guoko akĩmũũkĩria. Mũrimũ ũcio wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ ũkĩmũtiga na akĩambĩrĩria kũmatungatĩra.
32 When it was evening, after sunset people came bringing Him all who were sick and the demoniacs;
Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio thuutha wa riũa gũthũa, andũ makĩrehera Jesũ andũ arĩa othe maarĩ arũaru na arĩa maarĩ na ndaimono.
33 and the whole town was assembled at the door.
Nao andũ a itũũra othe makĩũngana hau mũrango-inĩ wa nyũmba,
34 Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
nake Jesũ akĩhonia andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ na mĩrimũ mĩthemba mĩingĩ. Ningĩ akĩingata ndaimono nyingĩ, no ndetĩkĩririe ndaimono ciarie tondũ nĩciamũũĩ.
35 In the morning He rose early, while it was still quite dark, and leaving the house He went away to a solitary place and there prayed.
Rũciinĩ kĩroko tene kũrĩ o na nduma, Jesũ agĩũkĩra akiuma nyũmba agĩthiĩ handũ keheri-inĩ, akĩhoera ho.
36 And Simon and the others searched everywhere for Him.
Nake Simoni na arĩa maarĩ nao magĩthiĩ kũmwetha,
37 When they found Him they said, "Every one is looking for you."
na rĩrĩa maamuonire, makĩanĩrĩra, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Andũ othe nĩwe maracaria!”
38 "Let us go elsewhere, to the neighbouring country towns," He replied, "that I may proclaim my Message there also; because for that purpose I came from God."
Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Rekei tuume gũkũ tũthiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ, matũũra-inĩ marĩa me hakuhĩ, nĩguo hunjie o nakuo. Tondũ nĩkĩo ndokire.”
39 And He went through all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and expelling the demons.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiũrũrũka Galili guothe akĩhunjagia thunagogi-inĩ ciao na akĩingataga ndaimono.
40 One day there came a leper to Jesus entreating Him, and pleading on his knees. "If you are willing," he said, "you are able to cleanse me."
Na mũndũ ũmwe warĩ na mangũ agĩũka kũrĩ we na akĩmũthaitha aturĩtie maru, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩenda-rĩ, no ũũtherie.”
41 Moved with pity Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. "I am willing," He said; "be cleansed."
Nake Jesũ akĩringwo nĩ tha nyingĩ, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake akĩhutia mũndũ ũcio. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ngwenda. Therio.”
42 The leprosy at once left him, and he was cleansed.
Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ ũcio agĩthirwo nĩ mangũ, akĩhonio.
43 Jesus at once sent him away, strictly charging him,
Nake Jesũ akĩmũkaania na hinya na akĩmwĩra athiĩ,
44 and saying, "Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for them."
ningĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Menya ndũkeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũhoro ũyũ. No thiĩ ũkeyonanie kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ũrute magongona marĩa Musa aathanĩte nĩ ũndũ wa gũtherio gwaku, ũtuĩke ũira kũrĩ o.”
45 But the man, when he went out, began to tell every one and to publish the matter abroad, so that it was no longer possible for Jesus to go openly into any town; but He had to remain outside in unfrequented places, where people came to Him from all parts.
No handũ ha ũguo agĩthiĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kwaria na kũmemerekia ũhoro ũcio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ ndacookire kũhota gũtoonya itũũra thĩinĩ akĩonagwo nĩ andũ, no aikaraga na nja kũndũ gũtaarĩ andũ. No andũ no mookaga kũrĩ we moimĩte kũndũ guothe.
