< Mark 1 >

1 The beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ.
Jewaꞌ xkꞌulmatajik are xchapleꞌtaj loq utzijoxik ri utz laj tzij rech ri Jesucristo, ukꞌojol ri Dios.
2 It is said in the prophet Isaiah – ‘I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he 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 The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: “Prepare the road for the Lord, make a straight path 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 Baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism on 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 The whole of Judea, as well as all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, went out to him; and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
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 wore clothes made of camels’ hair, with a leather strap around his waist, and lived on 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 proclaimed – “After me is coming someone more powerful than I am, and I am not fit even to stoop down and unfasten his sandals.
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 have baptized 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 Now about that time 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 Just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Spirit coming down to 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 from the heavens came a voice – “You are my dearly loved son; you bring me great joy.”
Xtataj xuqujeꞌ jun chꞌabꞌal upetik pa ri kaj xubꞌij: At, at loqꞌalaj nukꞌojol, kakiꞌkot na nukꞌuꞌx awukꞌ.
12 Immediately afterward the Spirit drove Jesus out into the wilderness;
Kꞌa te riꞌ xkꞌam bꞌik ri Jesús rumal ri Uxlabꞌixel pa ri katzꞌinow ulew.
13 and he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts, while the angels helped 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 John had been arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God –
Are xokisataj ri Juan pa cheꞌ, ri Jesús xeꞌ chutzijoxik ri utz laj utzij ri Dios pa Galilea.
15 “The time has come, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the good news.”
Xubꞌij: Xopan ri qꞌij ri utzujum loq ri Dios, xnaqajir loq ri rajawarem, chikꞌexa ikꞌuꞌx, chikojo ri utz laj tzij.
16 As Jesus was going along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net in 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 and follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will teach you to fish for people.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Chixanloq, chinitereneꞌj, kinbꞌan na chiꞌwe chikikꞌam loq achyabꞌ wukꞌ.
18 They left their nets at once, and followed him.
Aninaq xkitzaq kanoq ri kikꞌat, xeteriꞌ bꞌik chirij ri Jesús.
19 Going on a little further, he saw James, Zebedee’s son, and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the 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 Jesus called them at once, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the crew, and went after 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 They walked to Capernaum. On the next Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue 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 amazed at his teaching, for he taught them like one who had authority, and not like the teachers of the Law.
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 Now there was in their synagogue at the time a man under the power of a foul spirit, who called out,
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 the Nazarene? 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! Come out from him.”
Ri Jesús xubꞌij che: Chatuxlanoq, chatel bꞌik che we achi riꞌ.
26 The foul spirit threw the man into a fit, and with a loud cry came out from him.
Ri itzel uxlabꞌal xutzaq ri achi pa ri ulew rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xuraqaqej uchiꞌ, xel bꞌik che ri achi.
27 They were all so amazed that they kept asking each other, “What is this? What is this, a new kind of teaching? He gives his commands with authority even to the foul 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 His fame spread at once in all directions, through the whole region of Galilee.
Rumal waꞌ aninaq xel utzijoxik ri Jesús pa ronojel Galilea.
29 As soon as they had left the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
Ri Jesús are xeꞌl bꞌik pa ri Sinagoga e rachiꞌl ri Jacobo xuqujeꞌ ri Juan xebꞌe cho rachoch ri Simón xuqujeꞌ ri Andrés.
30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying ill with a fever, and they at once told Jesus about her.
Aninaq xkibꞌij che ri Jesús chi ri ujiꞌ ixoq ri Simón yawabꞌ, qꞌoyol pa ri usok, kꞌo qꞌaqꞌ che.
31 Jesus went up to her and, grasping her hand, raised her up; the fever left her, and she began to take care of 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 In the evening, after sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who were ill or possessed by demons;
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 city was gathered around the door.
Jeriꞌ konojel ri winaq xkimulij kibꞌ chuchiꞌ ri uchiꞌ ja.
34 Jesus cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons, and would not permit them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.
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 In the morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and went out to a lonely spot, where he began 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 But Simon and his companions went out searching for him;
Ri Simón e rachiꞌl jujun tijoxelabꞌ chik xebꞌe chutzukuxik ri Jesús.
37 and, when they found him, they exclaimed, “Everyone is looking for you!”
Are xkiriqo xkibꞌij che: Konojel ri winaq tajin kakitzukuj la.
38 But Jesus said to them, “Let us go somewhere else, into the country towns nearby so that I can make my proclamation in them also; for that was why I came.”
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 And he went about making his proclamation in their synagogues all through Galilee, and driving out the 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 One day a leper came to Jesus and, falling on his knees, begged him for help. “If only you are willing,” he said, “you are able to 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 stretched out his hand and touched him, saying as he did so, “I am willing; become clean.”
Salabꞌataj ri ranimaꞌ ri Jesús xuyuq ri uqꞌabꞌ xuchap ri achi, xubꞌij: Jeꞌ kawaj, chatchꞌajchꞌobꞌetajoq.
42 Instantly the leprosy left the man, and he became clean;
Ri achi aninaq xutzirik, xel bꞌik ri chꞌaꞌk che.
43 and then Jesus, after sternly warning him, immediately sent him away,
Ri Jesús xutaq bꞌik ri achi, xupixabꞌaj bꞌik, xubꞌij che:
44 and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to anyone; but go and show yourself to the priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.”
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 The man, however, went away, and began to speak about it publicly, and to spread the story so widely, that Jesus could no longer go openly into a town, but stayed outside in lonely places; and people came to him from every direction.
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.
