ST MARK 1
1 Hatseto mawotich oochu Jesus Christ, Tikeaootli ma chue;
([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 Takeh nichatinkles akehe koonachatya kehe, Oosooasi sakewotihche nachatyea atghuni oochu naaootle.
3 Hligi otyesta tike kemweh toowe ooli, Atghuni oochu ahasoonesun, aghahati tsiwoeseh kwetooyakehe.
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 John tane tukeghingklit kemweh, hatse tane tatilon tunaghakeooskliti ahtilon otlwechi keochehlalon kehe aghametseli oneochetolel asilon.
[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 Kahchu yinkhadeshalon tike okehe otsi Judaea, kahchu aghatane yateh otsi Jerusalem, kuihe sahke Jordan aghanetye tukukeghinklilon, koometselihi kooatuoochatihi.
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 John ghatai manatsunne ghigheze gha eghayulon natun atyetlalon atazi syeh kahchu atazi syeh ihe nanihklulon: oohchu yaskesi yu achalinoo yu ayilai yetsetlon;
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 Oochu toowe ooli yehtilon, yetsi ootelon, Hligi sooniya sataihchi anati, nakyeklule aghoo atu enasoo machi chunoostyeli mamakeoosut.
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 Suni la tu ihe naghakyeihklit: ahwole atai tu ihe naghakyeihlili Atsinde Oochu ihe.
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 Occhu gheise wazeluh ayi dzine, Jesus otsidesha Ion Nazareth Galilee otsi, John tuyakeghinklilon Jesus Jordan otsi.
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 Kwete tu tsi tghatyeza tsiwohzon, wailon yake kwa matahatsataghiolon, yakeotine yetsi natezalon oietli etye:
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 Oochu otech yake otsi atitsuklon, toowela ooli oti ihe, Nila otaihchi nwasti Sachue.
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Kwete atsinde achu tike tsi yatehalon kemwehchi.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Koochi kemwehchi atu tane nuklechi tioketi dzineke kooali, yakaotehun Metseli aghaghatai; kahchu ghatai metseli ihkyateslon; kahchu oochu woei oochu yetsinatilon.
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 Kootoo John kwechaghinhtyilon tane kwechaghinhtyinti, Jesus yuhchidesha Galilee, koohootyeh otech oochu Nagha Tgha makaoonadzutti otsi,
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 Kahchu toowela ooli, Tyeneti Nagha Tgha kyeyi: naghametselihi kyechahli, oochu otech oochu aha kootahti.
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 Ihtyezon tu chok Galilee tghamweh klontyesha, yailon Simon yu Andrew yu mekye yu tyemil tayesklu tu chok: atai tane taesklu tane eli.
[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 Oochu Jesus toowela ooli yehti, Sakyetahtyel, kooh hanahooslihi oohchu hluge kehchi enahooslihi tane niyutooleli chon otsi.
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 Kwete taghatyemile echaghanelelon kikyehtyeshalon.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Oohchu oontsutli tontyo tyesha, yaih James Zebedee machue, kahchu John mekye, atilon tachin ela ehkye atyi tyemil keyatinklulon.
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 Kwete tyechi yehtilon: kwa taghata echughanelilon tachin ela ehkye atyi Zebedee oochu keotihche yu, oohchu kikyetyesklit.
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 Oohchu kochi ghatyestyetl Capernaum; kahchu kwete taneghaotatyech kwa kwiya menejitti dzineneh tane chehotyeh.
[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 Oneghanintyellon yaotihche: kooatinti yaotatiheh otech oochu tatihi natsuti kehchi ayihoo mawoochuli, atu adeskles tane kehchi.
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 Oohchu iehti kweh atiih hligi teze ta kwa taneghaotatyech yaghati metseli ayiih; kahchu ootyestalon,
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 Toowe ooli, Atu aghaititaniah; atu ooli nagha assitli iyo aoohti, nuni Jesus Nazareth otsi? Yuhchitiyala aghayaonila? Atanasti nelesi Nagha Tgha Maatsinde Oochu ooih.
“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 Jesus toowela ooli yehti, yachioote, Atu oonatih yehti, setseghatiyah yetsun tsi.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Kootoo aghaghatai tsunale too yayaghinchil, oohtye ootyestalo, yetsi hadesha.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Aghanetye ooghatesta, aghanetye chu koohtaghoati, tiyeohtye, yetike aloontye? ye tane tsi oochatihi koonte? Aha kootesti otech oochu gha saghatai mayis atu natset.
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 Koohchu oonthe atyeh meghoyuh yito kwa Galilee.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Ayite otsi, ghaghatestyetlon taneghaotatyechi kwa otsi, kweghaghintyetl Simon yu Andrew yu kwa, James chu John chu.
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 Simon tsiyue ma tyelasatyi teskoone ayila, oohchu koohoohati.
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 Yechidesha yila inchut, kahchu tahyatinti; kwete ayi teskoone ayila yecheli, ayi oota yakeotihch.
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 Hatse kahkachi, naghioo, kiya nanila yatitine, yaghi chu mazichi yaghatai metselihi.
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 Kahchu atghe ehlaititi tane natihti tyechiklaghatati tusklahti.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Kahchu atghazi tatihi akooyilalon ayeeah natlone yehtanintyelon, kooyaghatai metselihi natlon oonteslalon; kahchu atu ketselihoo wahti iyao-ohti, achi atayatilon ayiwooh ayehti.
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 Kahchu hatlindo, setsehto tsitike satalon, hadesha, kahchu koondeshalon aghasuchalechi, kahchu iehti yachutatyeheh.
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 Kahchu Simon yehkyatehchi kikyehtestyetllon.
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 Kikihtitsi, toowela ooli kiyehtilon, Atghe tane ninkhaghanatgha.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Towehchu yehti, Tane natehtsi otsidooshai kooche oohoostihi oochu, kootatooshigha lasasta aoontye.
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 Kahchu tane tsiwoghintalon taneghaotatyech kwa kwe Galilee, kahchu atsinde metseli ghayatehalon.
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 Kahchu machitatestyel tane tsusachi yaghoone yatsi nioonunisit, kahchu machi nachustachaklih, kahchu toowela ooli yehtilon Kooh koodinti ate oochu asaghoonlehassi.
[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 Kahchu Jesus, atyetastihtoo madzye tatilon nati gha tiesunni ihe, yetsi tahtatitichlon, kahchu yakatehtich lon, kahchu toowela ooli yehtilon, Kooh koosti; kwakoola oochu anatyeh.
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 Tsiwohzon otatyech otye, susuchi yetselilon, kahchu oochu oohtyelon.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Kahchu yatatilon tsiwohzon itintiah, kahchu oochu tyehalon;
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 Kahchu toowela ooli yehtilon, Atu kahchu ooli ataoonti niwotine: kahchu achutiya, nazi yueh taneghaotatyech metihi, kahchu khaniah naoochu oohtyi ihe yaghi Moses za kyehchi, ata kiyutihi.
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 Kahchu hadesha, oohtye awonetye khootawootyelon, kahchu tike okehe khootawotyelon, kwa hlilon Jesus atu tanetghakweya tyetachatlihi kwa iyu meheaoontye, ahwole kemwehchi tike alilon, kahchu kiyinkhatestyetllon ewonetyetsi otsi.
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.
