< Mark 1 >

1 A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
Entandikwa y’Enjiri ya Yesu Kristo, Omwana wa Katonda.
2 As it has been written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.
Kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya nnabbi Isaaya nti, “Laba ntuma omubaka wange akukulembere, ateeketeeke ekkubo lyo;
3 A voice of one calling in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight.”
eddoboozi ly’oyo ayogelera waggulu mu ddungu nti, ‘Muteeketeeke ekkubo lya Mukama, mutereeze amakubo ge.’”
4 John came immersing in the wilderness, and proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
Yokaana yajja ng’abatiriza mu ddungu, ng’abuulira okubatiza okw’okwenenya olw’okusonyiyibwa ebibi.
5 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.
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 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
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 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;
Yabuuliranga ng’agamba nti, “Waliwo omuntu omukulu era ansinga amaanyi ajja okujja, gwe sisaanira na kusumulula bukoba bwa ngatto ze.
8 I indeed immersed you in water, but He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.”
Nze mbabatiza na mazzi, naye ye alibabatiza na Mwoyo Mutukuvu.”
9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan;
Awo olwatuuka mu nnaku ezo Yesu n’ava e Nazaaleesi mu Ggaliraaya n’ajja, Yokaana n’amubatiza mu mugga Yoludaani.
10 and immediately coming up from the water, He saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit coming down on Him as a dove;
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 out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted.”
Eddoboozi ne liva mu ggulu nga ligamba nti, “Ggwe Mwana wange omwagalwa, ggwe, gwe nsanyukira ennyo.”
12 And immediately the Spirit puts Him forth into the wilderness,
Amangwago Mwoyo n’amutwala mu ddungu.
13 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.
N’amalayo ennaku amakumi ana ng’ali n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko, ng’akemebwa Setaani, kyokka nga bamalayika bamuweereza.
14 And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news 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 has been fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has come near, convert and believe in the good news.”
ng’agamba nti, “Ekiseera kituukiridde, n’obwakabaka bwa Katonda busembedde! Mwenenye mukkirize Enjiri.”
16 And walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon, and his brother Andrew, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
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 make you to become fishers of men”;
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mujje mungoberere nange ndibafuula abavubi b’abantu!”
18 and immediately, having left their nets, they followed Him.
Amangwago ne baleka obutimba bwabwe ne bamugoberera.
19 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,
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 having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after Him.
Amangwago n’abayita ne baleka kitaabwe Zebbedaayo mu lyato n’abapakasi, ne bagoberera Yesu.
21 And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, He was teaching,
Awo ne bayingira mu Kaperunawumu. Amangwago n’ayingira mu kuŋŋaaniro ku Ssabbiiti, n’abayigiriza.
22 and they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as 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, “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.”
ng’agamba nti, “Otwagaza ki Yesu Omunnazaaleesi? Ozze okutuzikiriza? Nkumanyi gwe Mutukuvu wa Katonda.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come forth out of him,”
Awo Yesu n’aguboggolera ng’agamba nti, “Sirika era muveeko.”
26 and the unclean spirit having convulsed him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
Awo omwoyo omubi ne gumusikambula nnyo, ne gumuvaako.
27 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!”
Buli omu ne yeewuunya, ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Kuyigiriza kwa ngeri ki kuno okuggya okujjudde obuyinza? So n’emyoyo emibi agiragira ne gimugondera.”
28 And the fame of Him went forth immediately to all the region of Galilee.
Amangwago amawulire agamukwatako ne gasaasaana wonna mu byalo ebyetoolodde Ggaliraaya.
29 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went 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 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell Him about her,
Ne basanga nga nnyina muka Simooni agalamidde mulwadde omusujja. Amangwago ne bakitegeeza Yesu.
31 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.
Bwe yamusemberera, n’amukwata ku mukono n’amuyimusa, omusujja ne gumuwonako, n’abaweereza!
32 And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to Him all who were ill and who were demoniacs,
Awo obudde bwe bwali buwungeera, ng’enjuba egwa, ne bamuleetera abalwadde bonna, n’abaaliko dayimooni.
33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
Ekibuga kyonna ne kikuŋŋaanira ku luggi.
34 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.
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, it being yet night, having risen, He went forth, and went away to a desolate place, and was praying there;
Enkeera ng’obudde tebunnalaba yesu n’azuukuka n’agenda yekka mu kifo ekyekusifu, okusaba.
36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of Him,
Awo Simooni ne be yali nabo ne bamunoonya,
37 and having found Him, they say to Him, “All seek You”;
bwe baamulaba ne bamugamba nti, “Buli muntu akunoonya.”
38 and He says to them, “We may go into the next towns, that there also I may preach, for—for this I came 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, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
Awo n’abuulira mu makuŋŋaaniro ag’omu kitundu kyonna eky’e Ggaliraaya, era n’agoba ne baddayimooni.
40 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.”
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 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him and says to him, “I will, be cleansed”;
Yesu n’amusaasira, n’agolola omukono gwe, n’amukwatako, n’amugamba nti, “Nsiimye, longooka!”
42 and He having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
Amangwago ebigenge ne bimuwonako, n’aba mulongoofu.
43 And having sternly charged him, immediately He put him forth,
Awo Yesu n’amukuutira nnyo n’amusiibula,
44 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.”
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 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.
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.
