< Mark 1 >

1 THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
Entandikwa y’Enjiri ya Yesu Kristo, Omwana wa Katonda.
2 as it is written in the prophets; “Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, he shall prepare thy way before thee.
Kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya nnabbi Isaaya nti, “Laba ntuma omubaka wange akukulembere, ateeketeeke ekkubo lyo;
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait.”
eddoboozi ly’oyo ayogelera waggulu mu ddungu nti, ‘Muteeketeeke ekkubo lya Mukama, mutereeze amakubo ge.’”
4 John was baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Yokaana yajja ng’abatiriza mu ddungu, ng’abuulira okubatiza okw’okwenenya olw’okusonyiyibwa ebibi.
5 And all the country of Judea went out to him, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
Ensi yonna ey’e Buyudaaya n’abantu bonna ab’omu Yerusaalemi, ne bagendanga gy’ali, n’ababatiza mu mugga Yoludaani nga baatula ebibi byabwe.
6 Now John was clothed with a camel’s hair garment, and a girdle of leather about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Yokaana yayambalanga ekyambalo eky’obwoya bw’eŋŋamira, ne yeesibanga olukoba olw’eddiba mu kiwato kye, era yalyanga nzige na mubisi gwa njuki.
7 And he preached, saying, One mightier than I is coming after me, the string of whose shoes I am not worthy, stooping down, to unloose.
Yabuuliranga ng’agamba nti, “Waliwo omuntu omukulu era ansinga amaanyi ajja okujja, gwe sisaanira na kusumulula bukoba bwa ngatto ze.
8 I indeed baptise you with water; but he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost.
Nze mbabatiza na mazzi, naye ye alibabatiza na Mwoyo Mutukuvu.”
9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan.
Awo olwatuuka mu nnaku ezo Yesu n’ava e Nazaaleesi mu Ggaliraaya n’ajja, Yokaana n’amubatiza mu mugga Yoludaani.
10 And immediately on going up from the water, he saw the heavens divided by a chasm, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:
Awo Yesu bwe yali yaakava mu mazzi, n’alaba eggulu nga libikkuse, ne Mwoyo ng’ali ng’ejjiba ng’amukkako.
11 and a voice came from heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
Eddoboozi ne liva mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, “Ggwe Mwana wange omwagalwa, ggwe, gwe nsanyukira ennyo.”
12 And immediately the Spirit impelled him to go into the wilderness.
Amangwago Mwoyo n’amutwala mu ddungu.
13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministred unto him.
N’amalayo ennaku amakumi ana ng’ali n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko, ng’akemebwa Setaani, kyokka nga bamalayika bamuweereza.
14 But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God:
Oluvannyuma nga Yokaana Omubatiza amaze okusibwa mu kkomera, Yesu n’ajja mu Ggaliraaya okubuulira Enjiri ya Katonda,
15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draweth nigh: repent, and believe the gospel.
ng’agamba nti, “Ekiseera kituukiridde, n’obwakabaka bwa Katonda busembedde! Mwenenye mukkirize Enjiri.”
16 And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
Awo Yesu yali ng’ayita ku lubalama lw’ennyanja y’e Ggaliraaya, n’alaba Simooni ne muganda we Andereya nga basuula obutimba bwabwe mu nnyanja; kubanga baali bavubi.
17 And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will appoint you to be fishers of men:
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mujje mungoberere nange ndibafuula abavubi b’abantu!”
18 and immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
Amangwago ne baleka obutimba bwabwe ne bamugoberera.
19 And going from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and others in the vessel mending the nets.
Bwe yeeyongerayo katono, n’alaba Yakobo ne Yokaana batabani ba Zebbedaayo, nga bali mu lyato baddaabiriza obutimba bwabwe.
20 And immediately he called them: and leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hirelings, they went after him.
Amangwago n’abayita ne baleka kitaabwe Zebbedaayo mu lyato n’abapakasi, ne bagoberera Yesu.
21 And they entered into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath going into the synagogue, he taught.
Awo ne bayingira mu Kaperunawumu. Amangwago n’ayingira mu kuŋŋaaniro ku Ssabbiiti, n’abayigiriza.
22 And they were struck with astonishment at his doctrine; for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Ne beewuunya okuyigiriza kwe, kubanga yabayigiriza nga nannyini buyinza, so si ng’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bwe baakolanga.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Amangwago ne walabika omusajja eyaliko omwoyo omubi mu ssinzizo, n’awowoggana,
24 saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
ng’agamba nti, “Otwagaza ki Yesu Omunnazaaleesi? Ozze okutuzikiriza? Nkumanyi gwe Mutukuvu wa Katonda.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.
Awo Yesu n’aguboggolera ng’agamba nti, “Sirika era muveeko.”
26 And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
Awo omwoyo omubi ne gumusikambula nnyo, ne gumuvaako.
27 And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?
Buli omu ne yeewuunya, ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Kuyigiriza kwa ngeri ki kuno okuggya okujjudde obuyinza? So n’emyoyo emibi agiragira ne gimugondera.”
28 And there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about.
Amangwago amawulire agamukwatako ne gasaasaana wonna mu byalo ebyetoolodde Ggaliraaya.
29 Then straitway going out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Amangwago ne bava mu kkuŋŋaaniro ne bagenda mu nnyumba ya Simooni ne Andereya nga bali ne Yakobo ne Yokaana.
30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her.
Ne basanga nga nnyina muka Simooni agalamidde mulwadde omusujja. Amangwago ne bakitegeeza Yesu.
31 And he came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she waited upon them.
Bwe yamusemberera, n’amukwata ku mukono n’amuyimusa, omusujja ne gumuwonako, n’abaweereza!
32 But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs.
Awo obudde bwe bwali buwungeera, ng’enjuba egwa, ne bamuleetera abalwadde bonna, n’abaaliko dayimooni.
33 And the whole city was gathered together about the door;
Ekibuga kyonna ne kikuŋŋaanira ku luggi.
34 and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him.
Era Yesu n’awonya abalwadde bangi abaalina endwadde ez’enjawulo era n’abaaliko baddayimooni bangi n’ababagobako, ne baddayimooni teyabaganya kwogera, kubanga baali bamumanyi.
35 And very early (the night being far advanced towards morning) rising up, he went forth, and retired into a desert place, and there prayed.
Enkeera ng’obudde tebunnalaba yesu n’azuukuka n’agenda yekka mu kifo ekyekusifu, okusaba.
36 And Simon, and those who were with him, eagerly pursued him;
Awo Simooni ne be yali nabo ne bamunoonya,
37 and when they had found him, they say unto him, All men are inquiring after thee.
bwe baamulaba ne bamugamba nti, “Buli muntu akunoonya.”
38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for unto this purpose came I forth.
Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Tugende awalala mu byalo ebituliraanye, n’abeeyo mbabuulire, kubanga ekyo kye najjirira.”
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
Awo n’abuulira mu makuŋŋaaniro ag’omu kitundu kyonna eky’e Ggaliraaya, era n’agoba ne baddayimooni.
40 And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Awo omugenge n’ajja eri Yesu ne yeegayirira ng’afukamidde mu maaso ge, n’amugamba nti, “Bwe kuba nga kwe kusiima kwo, oyinza okunnongoosa.”
41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed.
Yesu n’amusaasira, n’agolola omukono gwe, n’amukwatako, n’amugamba nti, “Nsiimye, longooka!”
42 And as he spake, the leprosy instantly departed from him, and he was cleansed.
Amangwago ebigenge ne bimuwonako, n’aba mulongoofu.
43 And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away;
Awo Yesu n’amukuutira nnyo n’amusiibula,
44 and said to him, Take care, that thou speak not a word to any man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, what Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
ng’agamba nti, “Kino tokibuulirako muntu n’omu, wabula genda weeyanjule eri kabona, oweeyo n’ekirabo Musa kye yalagira okuweebwangayo, okuba obujulirwa gye bali.”
45 But he going out, began to proclaim it much, and to publish abroad an account of it, so that he could no more openly come into the city; but was without in desert places; and they came to him from all parts of the country.
Naye omusajja n’atandika okwogera ku ebyo ebyamubaako, n’okubibunyisa. Yesu n’atasobola kuyingira mu kibuga mu lwatu, naye n’abeeranga mu bifo ebyekusifu. Abantu ne bajjanga gy’ali okuva mu njuyi zonna.
