< Marcos 1 >

1 Mao kini ang sinugdanan sa ebanghelyo ni Jesu-Cristo, ang Anak sa Dios.
([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 Ingon sa nahisulat sa Isaias ang propeta, “Tan-awa, akong ipadala ang akong mensahero sa imong atubangan, ang usa nga moandam sa imong agianan.
3 “Ang tingog sa usa ka tawo nagtawag ngadto sa kamingawan, 'Himoa nga andam ang dalan sa Ginoo, Himoa ang iyang agianan nga tul-id.'”
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 Sa pag-abot ni Juan, siya nangbawtismo didto sa kamingawan ug nagwali sa pagbawtismo sa paghinulsol alang sa kapasayloan sa mga sala.
[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 Ang tanang nasod sa Judea ug ang tanang mga tawo sa Jerusalem miadto kaniya. Sila gibawtismohan pinaagi kaniya didto sa Suba sa Jordan, samtang nagsugid sila sa ilang mga sala.
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 Nagsul-ob si Juan ug sapot nga balahibo sa kamelyo, aduna siyay panit nga bakos sa iyang hawak, ug mikaon siya ug mga dulon ug ihalas nga dugos.
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 Nagwali siya ug nag-ingon, “Ang usa ka tawo moabot sunod kanako nga mas gamhanan pa kay kanako, ug dili ako takos bisan pa sa pagyukbo aron sa paghubad sa hikot sa iyang sandalyas.
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 Ako magabawtismo kaninyo sa tubig, apan siya magabawtismo kaninyo sa Balaang Espiritu.”
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 Nahitabo niadtong mga adlawa nga si Jesus niabot gikan sa Nazaret sa Galilea, ug siya gibawtismohan pinaagi ni Juan didto sa Suba sa Jordan.
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 Sa nihaw-as na si Jesus sa tubig, nakita niya ang kalangitan nga naabli ug ang Espiritu mikunsad kaniya sama sa salampati,
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 samtang ang tingog migawas sa kalangitan, “Ikaw ang akong pinalanggang anak. Nahimuot kaayo ako kanimo.”
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Unya ang Espiritu diha-diha nagpugos kaniya sa pagpagawas ngadto sa kamingawan.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Siya atua sa kamingawan sa 40 ka mga adlaw, ug siya gitintal ni Satanas. Uban siya sa mga ihalas nga mga mananap, ug ang mga anghel nag-alagad sa iyang mga gikinahanglan.
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 Karon human gidakop si Juan, si Jesus niabot ngadto sa Galilea ug gimantala ang ebanghelyo sa Dios,
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 ug nag-ingon, “Ang takna natuman na, ug ang gingharian sa Dios haduol na. Paghinulsol ug tuohi ang ebanghelyo.”
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 Ug paglabay sa daplin sa dagat sa Galilea, nakita niya si Simon ug Andres ang igsoong lalaki ni Simon nga nag-itsa sa pukot ngadto sa dagat, kay sila mangingisda man.
[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 Si Jesus miingon kanila, “Sunod kanako, ug himoon ko kamo nga mangingisda sa mga tawo.”
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 Diha-diha ilang gibiyaan ang ilang mga pukot ug misunod kaniya.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 Sa paglakaw ni Jesus sa unahan, nakita niya si Santiago ang anak nga lalaki ni Sebedeo ug si Juan ang iyahang igsoon nga lalaki; atua sila sa balangay nga nanagtapak sa mga pukot.
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 Gitawag dayon niya sila; gibiyaan nila ang ilang amahan nga si Sebedeo sa balangay kauban ang sinuholan nga mga sulugoon, ug misunod sila kaniya.
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 Ug sa pag-adto sa Capernaum, diha-diha sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay misulod siya sa sinagoga ug nanudlo.
[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 Nahibulong sila sa iyang pagtulon-an, tungod kay siya nagtudlo kanila ingon sa usa nga adunay katungod ug dili sama sa mga manunulat sa balaod.
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 Unya didto sa ilang sinagoga may usa ka tawo nga adunay dili hinlo nga espiritu. Misinggit siya,
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 “Unsay mahimo namo kanimo, Jesus nga taga-Nazaret? Mianhi ka ba aron sa pagdaot kanamo? Nasayod ako kung si kinsa ka. Ikaw ang usa nga Balaan sa Dios!”
“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 Gibadlong ni Jesus ang demonyo ug miingon, “Paghilom ug gawas diha kaniya!”
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Pagkahuman ang dili hinlo nga espiritu nagpalukapa kaniya, ang dili hinlo nga espiritu misinggit uban sa kusog nga tingog ug migawas gikan kaniya.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Ang tanang tawo nangahibulong, busa nagpangutan-anay sila sa usag-usa, “Unsa kini? Usa ka bag-o nga pagtulon-an nga adunay kagahom! Iyang gimandoan bisan ang dili hinlo nga mga espiritu, ug sila mituo kaniya.”
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 Diha-diha ang mga balita mahitungod kaniya migawas bisan asa ngadto sa tanang rehiyon nga nakapalibot sa Galilea.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 Diha-diha pagkahuman nila ug biya sa sinagoga, miadto sila sa balay ni Simon ug Andres, uban kang Santiago ug Juan.
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 Karon ang ugangang babaye ni Simon naghigda tungod sa sakit nga hilanat. Diha-diha dayon ilang gisultihan si Jesus mahitungod kaniya.
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 Busa miadto siya, gigunitan niya ang kamot, ug gipatindog niya; ang hilanat mibiya kaniya, ug siya nagsugod sa pag-alagad kanila.
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 Sa dihang gabii na, human misalop ang adlaw, ilang gidala ngadto kaniya ang tanang mga masakiton o gisudlan ug mga demonyo.
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 Ang tibuok siyudad nagtapok tanan sa pultahan.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 Giayo niya ang daghang mga masakiton uban sa mga nagkalain-laing mga balatian, ug gihinginlan ang daghang mga demonyo. Apan wala niya tugoti ang mga demonyo sa pagsugilon tungod kay sila nakaila kaniya.
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 Sayo kaayo siya nibangon samtang ngitngit pa; mibiya siya ug miadto sa awaaw nga dapit, ug nag-ampo siya didto.
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 Si Simon ug kadtong uban niya nangita kaniya.
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 Ila siyang nakaplagan, ug miingon sila ngadto kaniya, “Ang tanan nangita kanimo.”
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Miingon siya, “Moadto kita sa laing dapit, gawas ngadto sa palibot sa lungsod, aron ako magwali usab didto. Mao kana ang akong gianhi dinhi aron sa pagbuhat.”
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 Miadto siya sa tibuok Galilea, nagwali siya didto sa ilang mga sinagoga ug iyang gihinginlan ang mga demonyo.
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 Usa ka sanglahon ang miadto kaniya; siya nagpakiluoy kaniya samtang siya nagluhod. Siya miingon kaniya, “Kung buot nimo, mamahimo mo akong hinloan.”
[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 Mibati ug kaluoy, gituy-od ni Jesus ang iyang kamot ug gihikap siya, nga nag-ingon ngadto kaniya, “Buot ako. Mahinlo ka.”
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 Diha-diha ang sangla mibiya kaniya, ug nahimo siya nga hinlo.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Si Jesus higpit nga nagpasidaan kaniya ug gipadala dayon siya sa layo,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 miingon si Jesus ngadto kaniya, “Siguroha nga dili ka manugilon ngadto sa uban, apan lakaw, ipakita ang imong kaugalingon ngadto sa pari, ug ihalad ang mga butang alang sa imong pagkahinlo nga gimando ni Moises, isip pagpamatuod ngadto kanila.”
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 Apan migawas siya ug nagsugod sa pagsulti sa tanan. Ang tawo nagpakuyanap pag-ayo sa pulong mao nga si Jesus dili na gawasnon sa pag-adto sa mga lungsod; kinahanglan siya nga magpabilin didto sa kamingawan nga mga dapit aron ang mga tawo mo-adto kaniya gikan sa bisan asa.
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.
