Markos 1
1 Bilowgii injiilkii Ciise Masiix, oo ah Wiilka Ilaah.
([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].
2 Sidii Nebi Isayos u qoray, Eeg, waxaan hortaada soo dirayaa wargeeyahayga, Kan jidkaaga diyaargarayn doona;
3 Waa codka kan cidlada kaga qaylinaya, Jidka Rabbiga hagaajiya, Waddooyinkiisa toosiya.
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].”
4 Waxaa yimid Yooxanaa kan cidlada dadka ku baabtiisayay oo ku wacdiyeyey baabtiiskii toobadda dembidhaafka aawadiis.
[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].”
5 Markaasaa waxaa u soo baxay dadkii Yahuudiya oo dhan iyo kuwii Yeruusaalem oo dhan, oo kulligoodna Webi Urdun ayuu ku baabtiisay, iyagoo dembiyadooda qiranaya.
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.
6 Yooxanaa wuxuu guntanaa dharkiisii dhogorta geel ahaa, oo suun meged ahna dhexduu ku xidhnaa, oo wuxuu cunay ayax iyo malab dibadeed.
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.
7 Oo wax buu wacdiyey oo yidhi, Waxaa iga daba imanaya ku iga itaal weyn, kan aanan istaahilin inaan foororsado oo aan yeelmihii kabihiisa furo.
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.
8 Anigu waxaan idinku baabtiisay biyo, isaguse wuxuu idinku baabtiisi doonaa Ruuxa Quduuska ah.
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].”
9 Wakhtigaas waxay noqotay in Ciise ka yimid Naasared tii Galili, oo Yooxanaa baa Webi Urdun ku baabtiisay isagii.
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].
10 Markiiba intuu biyihii ka soo baxay wuxuu arkay samooyinkii oo kala dillaacay iyo Ruuxii oo sidii qoolley oo kale dushiisa ugu soo degaya.
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.
11 Waxaa samooyinka ka yimid cod leh, Adigu waxaad tahay Wiilkayga aan jeclahay oo aan ku faraxsanahay.
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Oo markiiba Ruuxii baa xaggii cidlada u eryay.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Afartan maalmood buu cidlada joogay, Shayddaan baana jirrabay oo wuxuu la jiray dugaagga, malaa'igahuna waa u adeegeen.
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.
14 Kolkii Yooxanaa la qabtay dabadeed, Ciise wuxuu yimid Galili, oo wuxuu dadka ku wacdiyey injiilka Ilaah,
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.
15 wuxuuna yidhi, Wakhtigii waa buuxsamay, oo boqortooyadii Ilaah waa soo dhowaatay; toobadkeena oo injiilka rumaysta.
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])!”
16 Markuu badda Galili ag marayay, wuxuu arkay Simoon iyo walaalkiis Andaros, iyagoo shabag badda ku tuuraya, waayo, waxay ahaayeen kuwa kalluun jillaabta.
[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.
17 Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, I soo raaca. Waxaan idinka dhigayaa kuwa dadka jillaabta.
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].
18 Markiiba shabagyadoodii way ka tageen, wayna raaceen.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Markuu cabbaar socday, wuxuu arkay Yacquub ina Sebedi iyo walaalkiis Yooxanaa, iyagoo doonnida dhexdeeda shabagyadoodii ku hagaajinaya.
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.
20 Markiiba wuu u yeedhay. Kolkaasay aabbahood Sebedi iyo shaqaalayaasha kaga soo tageen doonnida, oo isagay raaceen.
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.
21 Markaasay Kafarna'um galeen, oo markiiba sabtida wuxuu galay sunagogga oo dadka wax baray.
[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].
22 Waxayna la yaabeen wax bariddiisa, waayo, wuxuu wax u barayay sida mid amar leh, oo uma uu baraynin sida culimmada.
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.
23 Markaasaa waxaa sunagoggoodii ku jiray nin jinni wasakh leh qaba, wuuna qayliyey, oo wuxuu yidhi,
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 Maxaa inoo dhexaya, Ciise reer Naasaredow? Ma waxaad u timid inaad na baabbi'iso? Anigu waa ku garanayaa kii aad tahay Kan Quduuska ah ee Ilaah.
“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!”
25 Ciise baa canaantay oo ku yidhi, Aamus oo ka soo bax.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Goortii jinnigii wasakhda lahaa gilgilay oo cod weyn ku qayliyey, ayuu ka soo baxay.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Kulligoodba ayay la wada yaabeen, sidaa aawadeed iyaga dhexdooda way isweyddiiyeen oo yidhaahdeen, Waa maxay waxani? Ma wax barid cusub baa? Xataa jinniyadii wasakhda lahayd amar buu ku amraa, wayna yeelaan.
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]!”
28 Markiiba warkiisii waa gaadhay dhulkii Galili ku wareegsanaa oo dhan.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Oo markiiba kolkay sunagoggii ka soo baxeen, waxay galeen guriga Simoon iyo Andaros, iyaga iyo Yacquub iyo Yooxanaaba.
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.
30 Simoon soddohdiis baa qandho la jiiftay, oo kolkiiba waxay isaga u sheegeen wax iyada ku saabsan.
Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
31 Markaasuu u soo dhowaaday oo gacanteeda qabtay oo uu kiciyey. Kolkiiba qandhadii waa ka baxday oo ay u adeegtay iyaga.
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].
32 Makhribkii goortay qorraxdii dhacday, waxay u keeneen kuwa buka oo dhan iyo kuwa jinniyo qaba.
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.
33 Markaasaa dadkii magaalada oo dhan albaabka ku soo ururay.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Oo wuxuu bogsiiyey dad badan oo cudurro kala cayncayn ah qabay, dadkana jinniyo badan buu ka saaray, oo uma oggolaanin jinniyadu inay hadlaan, waayo, isagay garanayeen.
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].
35 Aroortii hore intaan weli waagii beryin ayuu kacay oo wuxuu tegey meel cidla ah, halkaasuuna ku soo tukanayay.
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.
36 Markaasaa Simoon iyo kuwii la jiray ka daba tageen.
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,
37 Goortay heleen waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Dadka oo dhan baa ku doondoonaya.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Wuxuu ku yidhi, Aan tagno magaalooyinka inoo dhow, inaan halkaasna wax ku wacdiyo; waayo, taas aawadeed ayaan u imid.
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!”
39 Wuxuu galay sunagogyadoodii Galili ku yiil oo dhan; dadkana ayuu ka wacdiyey, jinniyadiina ayuu dadka ka saaray.
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].
40 Markaasaa waxaa u yimid nin baras leh, wuuna jilba joogsaday oo baryay, oo ku yidhi, Haddaad doonaysid waad i daahirin kartaa.
[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!”
41 Kolkaasaa Ciise u naxariistay, oo intuu gacantiisa soo taagay, ayuu taabtay oo ku yidhi, Waa doonayaa ee daahirsanow.
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]!”
42 Kolkiiba baraskii waa ka baxay, oo wuu daahirsanaaday.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Ciisena aad buu u xukumay, oo markiiba ayuu iska diray,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 oo ku yidhi, Ninna waxba ha kala hadlin, laakiin tag oo wadaadka istus. Waxaad daahirsanaantaada u bixisaa wixii uu Muuse amray, marag iyaga ha u ahaatee.
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].”
45 Laakiin wuu baxay oo bilaabay inuu aad u naadiyo oo warka faafiyo, taas aawadeed kol dambe Ciise magaaladuu bayaan u geli kari waayay, laakiin wuxuu joogay dibadda ee meelo cidla ah, meel kastana waa looga yimid.
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.
