A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
2 “Pamhnam naw, ‘na maa ka ngsä, lam pyang khaia ka tüi law khai.’
As it has been written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.
3 Khyang mat, khawkhyawng khawa ngpyangki naw, ‘Bawipa a lam pyang ua; a cehnak vai lam ngdüngsak ua!’ a ti” tia, akphyüma sahma Hesajah naw, a yuka kba.
A voice of one calling in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight.”

John came immersing in the wilderness, and proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
5 Acunüng, Judah khaw la Jerusalem mlüha khyang he ngthu ngai khaia Johana veia citki he. Ami katnak he jah phyeh u se Jordan tuinu üng Johan naw baptican a jah khansak.
and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Johan cun samu am ami pyan suisak suisa lü, savunksawmyüi a kcawi üng vawp lü, mkhaü he la mawkpyawnga khawitui jah ei awki.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
7 Johan naw sang lü, “Ka hnua law khaia khyang ta keia kthaka kyäp bawk ve, kei cun kawp lü a khawdawkyüi ka kphyan pe khaia pi am ka ngkawihki ni.
and he proclaimed, saying, “He comes—who is mightier than I—after me, of whom I am not worthy—having stooped down—to loose the strap of His sandals;
8 Kei naw tui am baptican ka ning jah peki, cunsepi ani naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am Baptican ning jah pe khai,” a ti.
I indeed immersed you in water, but He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 Acun käna ivei am ngsawk se, Jesuh Kalile khaw Nazaret üngka naw law se, Johan naw Jordan tuinu üng baptican a pet.
And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan;
10 Tui üngka naw angxita a thawh law be üng, khankhaw nghmawng law lü, Ngmüimkhya cun mümca kba a khana kyum law se a hmuh.
and immediately coming up from the water, He saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit coming down on Him as a dove;
11 Acunüng khankhaw üngka kthai naw, “Nang, ka ning jawng'engnak kcanga ka Capa, na khana ka je leng lengki,” tia, ngthang lawki.
and a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted.”
12 Acun la Ngmüimkhya naw khawkhyawng khawa a tüih.
And immediately the Spirit puts Him forth into the wilderness,
13 Acuia khawmhmüp kphyükip khawyam naw hlawhlep se awmki. Khisa he pi awmki he, acunüngpi khankhawngsä he naw law u lü ami msümcei law.
and He was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan, and He was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to Him.
14 Johan thawngim üng ami khyum käna, Jesuh Kalile khawa cit lü, Mhnama Thangkdaw pyen hü lü,
And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God,
15 “Akcün pha lawpäng ve, Mhnama khaw ng’et law ve! Nami katnak he jah nghlata u lü, thangkdaw jum ua!” a ti.
and saying, “The time has been fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has come near, convert and believe in the good news.”
16 Kalile tuili kama Jesuh a ceh üng, Sihmon la a na Andru ngvai vawiki xawi jah hmu lü,
And walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon, and his brother Andrew, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
17 Jesuh naw, “Na läk law nia, kei naw khyang man khaia ka ning jah mthei khai,” a ti.
and Jesus said to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men”;
18 Acunüng angxita ani ngvai jah yawk hüt ni lü, Jesuha hnu läki xawi.
and immediately, having left their nets, they followed Him.
19 Acun üngka naw, asäng va cit lü, Zebedea capa Jakuk la a na Johan, mlawnga khana ani ngvai jah na pyangei ni se a jah hmuh.
And having gone on there a little, He saw James of Zebedee, and his brother John, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
20 Jesuh naw a jah hmuh la jah khü se, ani pa Zebede la mlawnga khana ani jah ngvaha khyang he jah yawk hüt ni lü, Jesuha hnu läki xawi.
and immediately He called them, and having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after Him.
21 Jesuh la axüisaw he Kapenawm mlüha law u se, angawi Sabbath mhmüp üng Jesuh naw Sinakok k’uma lut lü, a jah mthei.
And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, He was teaching,
22 Thum jah mtheiki hea kba am kya lü, ana takia kba jah mthei se khyang he aktäa cäiki he.
and they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Acunüng, ami Sinakoka k’uma khyang mat, ngmüimkhyaksea awmnak naw,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 “Nazaret Jesuh aw, i mi nglak ve se ja? Na jah kpyeh khaia na lawki aw? Nang u ti ka ksingki. Nang cun Mhnama ngsä ngcim ni!” ti lü, ngpyangki.
saying, “What [regards] us and You, Jesus the Nazarene? You came to destroy us; I have known You, who You are—the Holy One of God.”
25 Jesuh naw, “Ä khihkhe lü, a k’um üngka naw, angxita lut lawa,” ti lü, ngmüimkhya kse a ksät.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come forth out of him,”
26 Khawyai naw acuna khyang cun ksün lü, angsanga ngpyang lü, lut lawki.
and the unclean spirit having convulsed him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
27 Khyang he ami van cäi law u lü, “Hin hin ia ngkhaw ni? Ahina mtheimthangnak hin akthai am niki aw? Ana takia kba khawyai he pi jah ksät se, a pyen ngaiki he hin,” tia mat la mat ngthähki he.
and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching [is] this? That with authority He also commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 Acun la angxita, Kalile khaw avan üng Jesuha mawng ngthang hüki.
And the fame of Him went forth immediately to all the region of Galilee.
29 Jesuh la axüisaw he Sinakok üngka naw lut law u lü, Jakuk la Johan am, Sihmon la Andrua ima cit ktäiki he.
And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
30 Sihmona pi, mhnatei se ngjänki, Jesuh a pha law la ami mtheh.
and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell Him about her,
31 Jesuh naw a veia cit lü, a kut üng kaih lü, a mthawh la mhnat naw khya se, acun la a jah khinak.
and having come near, He raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
32 Mü lam khawkyak käna, am phetki he avan la khawyai he naw a jah awmnak avan he cun Jesuha veia ami jah lawpüi.
And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to Him all who were ill and who were demoniacs,
33 Mlüh üngka khyang avan mkawt maa ngcun lawki he.
and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
34 Jesuh naw natnak ahmäi hmäia phäha am phetki he jah m’yai be lü khawyai he a jah ksät. Khawyai he naw ani cun ami ksinga phäha ani naw ä a jah ngthuheisak.
and He healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and He cast forth many demons, and was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
35 Ngawi lam khaw am a thaih phat üng, Jesuh tho law lü im ceh ta lü, anghinaka hmüna cit lü, va ktaiyüki.
And very early, it being yet night, having risen, He went forth, and went away to a desolate place, and was praying there;
36 Cunsepi Sihmon la a püi he cun Jesuh sui khai hea citki he.
and Simon and those with him went in quest of Him,
37 Acunüng, ami hmuh law üng, “Khyang avan naw ning suihüki he ni,” ami ti.
and having found Him, they say to Him, “All seek You”;
38 Cunsepi, Jesuh naw, “Ahina pipei ngnam hea pi, ngthu ka pyen khaia mi cit khai, acun vaia ni kei ka law,” a ti.
and He says to them, “We may go into the next towns, that there also I may preach, for—for this I came forth.”
39 Acukba, Jesuh cun Kalile khaw avan üng cit hü lü, Sinakok hea ngthu pyen hü lü, khawyai he pi jah ksätki.
And He was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
40 Mnehkse mnehki khyang mat Jesuha veia law lü, a mkhuk ngdäng lü, “Na hlüei üng ta, na na ngcimcaihsak theiki ni,” ti lü, a nghuinak.
and there comes to Him a leper, calling on Him, and kneeling to Him, and saying to Him, “If You may will, You are able to cleanse me.”
41 Jesuh naw m'yeneinak am a kut sängki naw hnet lü, “Ä, hlüei veng, ngcima,” a ti.
And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him and says to him, “I will, be cleansed”;
42 Acukba a pyen la angxita mnehkse cun khyük se, ani cun ngcimcai law beki.
and He having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Acunüng Jesuh naw ksükki naw a tüih be.
And having sternly charged him, immediately He put him forth,
44 Acukba a pyen käna, “U am icapi ä na mtheh vai, cit lü, ktaiyü am na va ngtengei kyusak vai, acunüng Mosi naw a jah mtheha kba, na ngcimcainak ami msingnak vaia ngkengnak va pawha,” ti lü a tüih be.
and says to him, “See [that] you may say nothing to anyone, but go away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.”
45 Cunsepi, acuna khyang naw cit lü acuna mawng cun avan üng va sang hü se, Jesuh angdanga mlüh k’uma am lut thei lü anghinaka awmki. Acuia, khyang pung akce kce üngka he naw ami ceh si.
And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread the thing abroad, so that He was no longer able to openly enter into the city, but He was outside in desolate places, and they were coming to Him from every quarter.
