< Mark 1 >

1 This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Jewaꞌ xkꞌulmatajik are xchapleꞌtaj loq utzijoxik ri utz laj tzij rech ri Jesucristo, ukꞌojol ri Dios.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.”
Xkꞌulmatajik jetaq ri utzꞌibꞌam loq ri qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij ri Dios Isaías, are xubꞌij: Kintaq na bꞌik ri nutaqoꞌn kanabꞌej na chawach, rech kusukꞌumaj apanoq ri abꞌe,
3 “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
Uchꞌabꞌal jun winaq ri kasikꞌinik pa ri katzꞌinow ulew, kubꞌij: Chisukꞌumaj ri ubꞌe ri Ajawxel, sukꞌum chibꞌana che ri ubꞌe.
4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Jeriꞌ xubꞌan ri Juan are xutzijoj ri qasanaꞌ rech kꞌexbꞌal kꞌuꞌx rech kuybꞌal mak pa ri katzꞌinow ulew.
5 People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
Konojel ri winaq aꞌj Judea, aꞌj Jerusalén xoꞌpan rukꞌ. Ri Juan xubꞌan kiqasanaꞌ ri winaq pa ri nimaꞌ Jordán, are xtzujutaj kibꞌ che ri kimak.
6 John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
Ri ratzꞌyaq ri Juan che rismal kamey bꞌantal wi, ri jatꞌibꞌal upam jun tzꞌuꞌm, are xutij che uwa ri e sakꞌ rachiꞌl ri juyubꞌil kabꞌ.
7 And he began to proclaim: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
Jewaꞌ xubꞌij are xutzijoj ri utzij ri Dios: Kape chi na jun ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo ukwinem chinuwach in, man taqal ta chwe kinkir ri uxajabꞌ.
8 I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
In xinbꞌan iqasanaꞌ rukꞌ jaꞌ, are kꞌu ri kape na kubꞌan na iqasanaꞌ pa ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ xopan ri Jesús, upetik pa Nazaret rech Galilea, xbꞌan kan uqasanaꞌ rumal ri Juan pa ri nimaꞌ Jordán.
10 As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
Ri Jesús are xel loq pa ri nimaꞌ, xril ri kaj xjaqajobꞌik, xqaj loq ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel jer xubꞌan jun palomax.
11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
Xtataj xuqujeꞌ jun chꞌabꞌal upetik pa ri kaj xubꞌij: At, at loqꞌalaj nukꞌojol, kakiꞌkot na nukꞌuꞌx awukꞌ.
12 At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
Kꞌa te riꞌ xkꞌam bꞌik ri Jesús rumal ri Uxlabꞌixel pa ri katzꞌinow ulew.
13 and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
Kawinaq qꞌij xkꞌojiꞌk chilaꞌ chikixoꞌl juyubꞌil taq aꞌwaj, xkoj kꞌaꞌmabꞌal pa ri ubꞌe rumal ri Itzel rech kaqaj pa mak. Xepe kꞌu ri angelibꞌ chupatanixik.
14 After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
Are xokisataj ri Juan pa cheꞌ, ri Jesús xeꞌ chutzijoxik ri utz laj utzij ri Dios pa Galilea.
15 “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
Xubꞌij: Xopan ri qꞌij ri utzujum loq ri Dios, xnaqajir loq ri rajawarem, chikꞌexa ikꞌuꞌx, chikojo ri utz laj tzij.
16 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
Are xikꞌow bꞌik ri Jesús chuchiꞌ ri cho pa Galilea, xeꞌril ri Simón rachiꞌl ri Andrés ri rachalal, tajin kakikꞌyaq ri kikꞌat pa ri cho, rumal cher e chapal taq kar.
17 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chixanloq, chinitereneꞌj, kinbꞌan na chiꞌwe chikikꞌam loq achyabꞌ wukꞌ.
18 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
Aninaq xkitzaq kanoq ri kikꞌat, xeteriꞌ bꞌik chirij ri Jesús.
19 Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.
Ri Jesús are bꞌininaq chi apanoq jubꞌiqꞌ xeꞌril ri Jacobo rachiꞌl ri Juan e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Zebedeo, e kꞌo apanoq pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ, tajin kakisalabꞌaj ri kikꞌat puꞌwiꞌ ri jaꞌ.
20 Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
Ri Jesús xuꞌsikꞌij apanoq ri achyabꞌ, ri achyabꞌ xkiya kan ri kitat Zebedeo kukꞌ ri e kajchakibꞌ pa ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal, kꞌa te riꞌ xebꞌe rukꞌ ri Jesús.
21 Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
Are xoꞌpan pa ri tinimit Capernaúm, pa ri qꞌij rech uxlanem, ri Jesús xok bꞌik pa ri Sinagoga, xuchapleꞌj uyaꞌik kꞌutuꞌn.
22 The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
Ri winaq kemayijan che taq ri ukꞌutuꞌn, rumal cher man kuxiꞌj ta ribꞌ chukꞌutik. Man je ta kubꞌano jetaq kakibꞌan ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik.
23 Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
Xaq kꞌa teꞌ xwaꞌjil jun achi pa ri Sinagoga ri kꞌo jun itzel uxlabꞌal che, xuraq uchiꞌ xubꞌij:
24 “What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
Jesús aj Nazaret, ¿jas che kanim awibꞌ chiqaxoꞌl? ¿La xa at petinaq chiqatukixik? In wetaꞌm at jachinaq. At riꞌ ri at chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios.
25 But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chatuxlanoq, chatel bꞌik che we achi riꞌ.
26 At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
Ri itzel uxlabꞌal xutzaq ri achi pa ri ulew rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xuraqaqej uchiꞌ, xel bꞌik che ri achi.
27 All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
Konojel ri winaq xkixiꞌj kibꞌ, kakitatabꞌela chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: ¿Jas waꞌ we riꞌ? ¡Jun kꞌakꞌ kꞌutuꞌn waꞌ rumal laꞌ qas rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ kubꞌano! Pune aꞌre itzel taq uxlabꞌal keniman che.
28 And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
Rumal waꞌ aninaq xel utzijoxik ri Jesús pa ronojel Galilea.
29 As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
Ri Jesús are xeꞌl bꞌik pa ri Sinagoga e rachiꞌl ri Jacobo xuqujeꞌ ri Juan xebꞌe cho rachoch ri Simón xuqujeꞌ ri Andrés.
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
Aninaq xkibꞌij che ri Jesús chi ri ujiꞌ ixoq ri Simón yawabꞌ, qꞌoyol pa ri usok, kꞌo qꞌaqꞌ che.
31 So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
Ri Jesús xqebꞌ rukꞌ ri ixoq, xuchap che ri uqꞌabꞌ, xutoꞌo xwaꞌjilik. Aninaq kꞌut xel bꞌik ri qꞌaqꞌ che ri ixoq. Aninaq xwaꞌjilik xuchapleꞌj kipatanixik.
32 That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
Are xqaj ri qꞌij, ri winaq xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik ri e yawabꞌibꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌo itzel taq uxlabꞌal chike rukꞌ ri Jesús.
33 and the whole town gathered at the door.
Jeriꞌ konojel ri winaq xkimulij kibꞌ chuchiꞌ ri uchiꞌ ja.
34 And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
Ri Jesús xuꞌkunaj e kꞌi yawabꞌibꞌ. Xeꞌresaj xuqujeꞌ itzel taq uxlabꞌal, man xuya ta bꞌe chike ri uxlabꞌal xechꞌawik rumal cher ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal ketaꞌm uwach ri Jesús.
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.
Sibꞌalaj aqꞌabꞌil kꞌa kamuquq na, xwaꞌjil bꞌik ri Jesús xel bꞌi cho ri ja, xeꞌ pa jun leꞌaj utukel, chilaꞌ xuchapleꞌj wi chꞌawem.
36 Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
Ri Simón e rachiꞌl jujun tijoxelabꞌ chik xebꞌe chutzukuxik ri Jesús.
37 and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
Are xkiriqo xkibꞌij che: Konojel ri winaq tajin kakitzukuj la.
38 But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chujel bꞌik waral, joꞌ chi pa taq nikꞌaj leꞌaj chik, rech jeriꞌ keꞌntzijoj ri utzij ri Dios, rumal cher are waꞌ nupatan in petinaq.
39 So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
Xaq jeriꞌ, xbꞌinik pa ronojel Galilea, xutzijoj ri utz laj tzij pa ri Sinagoga, xuqujeꞌ xeꞌresaj ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal chike ri winaq.
40 Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
Xopan jun chꞌaꞌk achi rukꞌ ri Jesús, xqebꞌ rukꞌ xukiꞌk choch, kꞌa te riꞌ xuta toqꞌobꞌ che xubꞌij: We kaj la, chinchꞌajchꞌobꞌej la.
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
Salabꞌataj ri ranimaꞌ ri Jesús xuyuq ri uqꞌabꞌ xuchap ri achi, xubꞌij: Jeꞌ kawaj, chatchꞌajchꞌobꞌetajoq.
42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
Ri achi aninaq xutzirik, xel bꞌik ri chꞌaꞌk che.
43 Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
Ri Jesús xutaq bꞌik ri achi, xupixabꞌaj bꞌik, xubꞌij che:
44 “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
Qas chataꞌ, mabꞌij chi che jun winaq ri xkꞌulmataj awukꞌ, xaq xwi jat jakꞌutu awibꞌ choch ri chꞌawenel pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, chakꞌama bꞌik ri sipanik ri kubꞌij ri utaqanik ri Moisés, rech kakil ri winaq chi xatutzirik.
45 But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.
Are xel bꞌik ri achi rukꞌ ri Jesús, xuchapleꞌj utzijoxik chike ri winaq ri xkꞌulmatajik. Rumal riꞌ man xkwin ta chi ri Jesús xok pa taq ri tinimit, pune jeriꞌ e kꞌi winaq aꞌj jaljoj taq tinimit xoꞌpan rukꞌ.
