Marku 1
1 Pathen Capa Jesuh Khrih kah olthangthen a tongnah.
Here is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Tonghma Isaiah dongah a daek tangtae bangla, “Nang hmai ah kamah kah puencawn kan tueih ne, anih loh na longpuei te a rhoekbah ni.
Just as the prophet Isaiah wrote, “I'm sending my messenger ahead of you to prepare your way.
3 Khosoek ah pang ol loh, “Boeipa kah longpuei te rhoekbah uh'a caehlong te a dueng la saii uh,” a ti.
A voice is calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the Lord's way! Make his paths straight.’”
4 Johan tah khosoek ah aka nuem la om tih tholh khodawkngainah dongah yutnah baptisma a kawng thui.
John came, baptizing in the desert, announcing a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
5 Te dongah Judah kho boeih neh Jerusalem pum loh anih taengla khong uh. Te vaengah a tholhnah te a phong uh tih Jordan tuiva ah Johan loh a nuem.
Everybody from the country of Judea and from Jerusalem went to him. They admitted their sins publicly and were baptized in the Jordan River.
6 Te vaengah aka om Johan loh kalauk mul a bai tih, a pumpu ah maehpho cihin a naak tih tangboeng neh kohong khoitui te a caak.
John wore clothes made of camel hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
7 A hoe vaengah, “Kai lakah aka len tah kai hnukah ha pawk. A taengah ka buluk tih a khokhom rhui hlam ham pataeng ka koih pawh.
This is what he had to say: “After me someone is coming who is greater than I am. I'm not worthy to bend down and untie his sandals.
8 Kai loh nangmih te tui ah kan nuem, dae anih long tah nangmih te Mueihla Cim ah n'nuem ni,” a ti.
I baptized you in water but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah Jesuh khaw Galilee kah Nazareth lamkah halo tih, Jordan ah Johan loh a nuem.
Then Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
10 Tui khui lamkah koe a thoh vaengah vaan te ong uh tih Mueihla te vahu bangla a soah a rhum te a hmuh.
As Jesus came out of the water, he saw the heavens split apart and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.
11 Te vaengah vaan lamkah ol ha thoeng tih, “Nang tah Capa ka thintlo la na om, nang taengah ka lungtlun,” a ti.
A voice from heaven said, “You are my son, the one I love. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Te phoeiah anih te Mueihla loh khosoek la thaeng a khuen.
Right after this the Spirit sent him away into the desert
13 Khosoek ah khohnin sawmli a om vaengah Satan loh a cuek. Te vaengah satlung taengah khaw om dae anih te puencawn rhoek loh a khut uh.
where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was with the wild animals, and angels took care of him.
14 Tedae Johan te a voeih uh phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee la pawk. Te vaengah Pathen kah olthangthen te a hoe.
Later, after John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, announcing God's good news.
15 Te vaengah, “A tue te soep coeng tih Pathen ram tah yoei coeng, yut uh lamtah olthangthen te tangnah uh laeh,” a ti.
“The time predicted has come,” he said. “God's kingdom has arrived! Repent and believe in the good news.”
16 Tedae Galilee tuili kaengah a caeh vaengah, Simon neh Simon mana Andrew tah tuihoi la om rhoi tih tuili ah lawk ana voeih rhoi te a hmuh.
As he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they made their living by fishing.
17 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih rhoi te, “Kai hnukah bang rhoi lamtah nangmih rhoi te hlang aka tu tuihoi la om ham kang khueh eh?,” a ti nah.
“Come and follow me,” he told them, “and I will have you fishing for people.”
18 Te dongah lawk na te pak a hlah rhoi tih Jesuh te a vai rhoi.
They left their nets at once and followed him.
19 Tedae hawt a caeh vaengah Zebedee capa James neh a mana Johan te a hmuh. Te vaengah amih rhoi te lawng khuiah lawk a bo rhoi.
He went a little farther and saw James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat mending their nets.
20 Te dongah amih rhoi te pahoi a khue hatah a napa Zebedee neh lawng khuiah a kutloh rhoek te pak a hlah tih amah hnukah cet rhoi.
Immediately he called them to follow him, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, and followed Jesus.
21 Kapernaum la a kun uh vaengkah Sabbath ah tah tunim la tlek kun tih a thuituen.
They left for Capernaum, and on Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught there.
22 Te vaengah anih kah thuituennah soah let uh. Amih a thuituen te saithainah aka khueh la om tih cadaek rhoek bangla om pawh.
The people were amazed at his teaching, for he spoke with authority, unlike the religious teachers.
23 Amih kah tunim ah hlang pakhat tah mueihla thae neh lawt om.
Suddenly, right there in the synagogue, a man with an evil spirit started shouting out,
24 Te vaengah pang tih, “Nazareth Jesuh kaimih neh nang te mebang tloe lae? Kaimih he poci sak ham nim na pawk? Nang unim ti khaw kam ming ta, Pathen kah hlangcim la,” a ti nah.
“Jesus of Nazareth, why are you bothering us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are! You're God's Holy One!”
25 Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a ho tih, “Paa lamtah anih lamloh cet laeh,” a ti nah.
Jesus interrupted the evil spirit, telling him, “Be quiet! Come out of him.”
26 Te vaengah mueihla thae loh anih te a suvaih sak. Te phoeiah ol a len la pang tih anih lamloh coe.
The evil spirit screamed, threw the man into convulsions, and came out of him.
27 Te vaengah boeih a ngaihmang uh. Te dongah amamih te oelh uh thae tih, “Metlam nim he? Saithainah neh thuituennah a thai loh, mueihla thae rhoek pataeng a tueih vaengah a ol a ngai uh,” a ti uh.
Everyone was amazed at what happened. “What is this?” they asked each other. “What is this new teaching that has such authority? Even evil spirits do what he tells them!”
28 Te dongah a olthang tah Galilee pingpang khotomrhali boeih ah cet khonghak.
News about him spread quickly throughout the whole region of Galilee.
29 Te phoeiah tunim lamloh tlek cet uh tih James neh Johan khaw, Simon neh Andrew im la pawk uh.
Then they left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
30 Tedae Simon masae tah tlo tih yalh. Te dongah anih ham te Jesuh taengah tlek a thui uh.
Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, so they told Jesus about her.
31 Te dongah a paan tih a kut te a tuuk pah. Anih te a thoh vaengah anih te satloh loh a hlah tih amih te a kok.
He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever immediately left her. Then she made them a meal.
32 Hlaem a pha tih khomik a tlak vaengah tloh aka khueh rhoek neh rhaithae aka kaem boeih te Jesuh taengla a khuen uh.
After sunset that evening, those who were sick and demon-possessed were brought to Jesus.
33 Te vaengah kho pum ah aka om te thohka ah tingtun uh.
The whole of the town gathered outside.
34 Te phoeiah tlohtat soeprhep aka khueh hlangtlo muep a hoeih sak. Rhaithae khaw muep a haek. Tedae amah te aming uh dongah rhaithae rhoek te cal sak pawh.
He healed many people who had various diseases, and threw out many demons. He did not permit the demons to speak, for they knew who he was.
35 Tedae khohmuep aih. ah yueya thoo tih aka nong te khosoek hmuen la cet tih thangthui.
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went alone to a quiet place to pray.
36 Te vaengah Simon neh a taengkah rhoek loh Jesuh hnuk a dawn uh.
Simon and the others went to search for him.
37 Tedae Jesuh te a hmuh uh vaengah a taengah, “Nang te boeih n'toem,” a ti na uh.
When they found him, they told him, “Everybody's looking for you.”
38 Te vaengah amih te, “Kho om nah takuem ah cet uh sih lamtah, teah khawka hoeeh. Te hamni ka lo rhoe,” a ti nah.
But Jesus replied, “We have to go to the other towns around here so that I can tell them the good news as well—for that's why I came.”
39 Te dongah Galilee pum ah cet tih amih kah tunim ah olthangthen a hoe phoeiah rhaithae te a vai.
So he went all over Galilee, speaking in the synagogues and expelling demons.
40 Te vaengah, hmaibae pakhat tah anih taengah pawk tih a hloep phoeiah a cungkueng thil. Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Boeipa na ngaih koinih kai he nan cim sak thai ni,” a ti nah.
A leper came to him asking for help. The man kneeled down before Jesus, saying, “Please, if you're willing, you can heal me!”
41 Te vaengah a thinphat tih a kut te a yueng. Anih te a taek tih, “Ka ngaih ta, cim saeh,” a ti nah.
With compassion Jesus reached out and touched the man, and said, “I am willing. Be healed!”
42 Te vaengah hmaibae tah anih lamloh pahoi nong tih cim.
The leprosy left him immediately, and he was healed.
43 Te phoeiah thanueih ah anih te tlek a tueih.
Jesus sent him away with a strong warning.
44 Tedae anih te, “Na thui loeng loeng pawt ham ngaithuen. Namah cet lamtah khosoih na tueng phoeiah na cimcaihnah dongah Moses loh a uen te tah nawn pah. Te tew amih taengah paipueinah la om saeh,” a ti nah.
“Make sure you don't tell anybody anything about this,” he told him. “Go to the priest and show yourself to him. Give the offering which is required by the law of Moses for such cleansing, so that people will have proof.”
45 Tedae a caeh neh a tong tih pung a hoe dongah ol te yilhcet. Te dongah Jesuh tah kho khuiah loloh kun thai voel pawh. Te phoeiah tah khosoek hmuen ah vawl om dae anih te a taengvai lamloh a paan uh.
But the healed leper went out and told everyone what had happened. As a result Jesus could not openly go into the cities anymore, but had to stay out in the country where people came to him from everywhere around.
