< Mark 1 >

1 Beginning of the glad-message of Jesus Christ.
Kĩambĩrĩria kĩa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũkoniĩ Jesũ Kristũ Mũrũ wa Ngai.
2 According as it is written in Isaiah the prophet—Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way, —
O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa Isaia ũrĩa mũnabii atĩrĩ: “Nĩngũtũma mũtũmwo wakwa athiĩ mbere yaku, ũrĩa ũgũgũthondekera njĩra yaku.”
3 A voice of one crying aloud—In the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths.
“Kũrĩ mũgambo wa mũndũ ũkwanĩrĩra werũ-inĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Haarĩriai njĩra ya Mwathani, rũngariai njĩra ciake.’”
4 John the Immerser came, in the wilderness, proclaiming an immersion of repentance for remission of sins;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Johana ookire akĩhunjagia, na akĩbatithanagĩria werũ-inĩ. Aahunjagia atĩ andũ merire, nĩguo marekerwo mehia mao, nĩgeetha mabatithio.
5 and there were going out unto him all the Judaea country and all they of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the Jordan river, openly confessing their sins;
Nao andũ othe a bũrũri wa Judea na andũ othe a Jerusalemu magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we. Moimbũraga mehia mao, nake akamabatithĩria rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani.
6 and John was clothed with camel’s-hair and a leathern girdle about his loins, and was eating locusts and wild honey;
Johana ehumbaga nguo ciathondeketwo na guoya wa ngamĩĩra, na nĩehotoraga mũcibi wa rũũa njohero, na aarĩĩaga ngigĩ na ũũkĩ wa gĩthaka.
7 and he proclaimed, saying—He that is mightier than I cometh after [me], of whom I am not worthy to stoop and unloose the strap of his sandals:
Nayo ndũmĩrĩri yake yarĩ ĩno: “Thuutha wakwa nĩgũgũũka mũndũ ũngĩ ũrĩ na hinya kũngĩra, ũrĩa niĩ itagĩrĩire kũinamĩrĩra njohore ndigi cia iraatũ ciake.
8 I, have immersed you, with water, —He, will immerse you, with the Holy Spirit.
Niĩ ndĩmũbatithagia na maaĩ, nowe arĩmũbatithagia na Roho Mũtheru.”
9 And it came to pass, in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed into the Jordan by John;
Na rĩrĩ, ihinda o rĩu Jesũ agĩũka oimĩte Nazarethi kũu Galili, na akĩbatithio nĩ Johana rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani.
10 And, straightway, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rending asunder, and, the Spirit, as a dove, descending unto him;
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimĩraga maaĩ-inĩ akĩona igũrũ rĩahingũka, nake Roho Mũtheru akĩmũikũrũkĩra ahaana ta ndutura.
11 and a voice [came] out of the heavens—Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, —In thee, I delight.
Mũgambo ũkiuma igũrũ ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “We nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete, na nĩngenaga mũno nĩwe.”
12 And, straightway, the Spirit urgeth him forth into the wilderness;
Na o rĩmwe Roho akĩmuoya akĩmũtwara werũ-inĩ,
13 and he was in the wilderness, forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts, —and, the messengers, were ministering unto him.
na agĩikara kũu werũ-inĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, akĩgeragio nĩ Shaitani. Nake aikaranagia na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, nao araika makamũtungatagĩra.
14 And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the glad-message of God,
Thuutha wa Johana gũikio njeera, Jesũ agĩthiĩ Galili akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai,
15 [and saying]—The season is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God hath drawn near, —Repent ye, and have faith in the glad-message.
akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ihinda nĩikinyu, naguo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkuhĩrĩirie. Mwĩrirei mwĩtĩkie Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega!”
16 And, passing by near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea, —for they were fishers;
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aathiiagĩra hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria rĩa Galili, nĩonire Simoni na mũrũ wa nyina Anderea magĩikia neti ciao iria-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo maarĩ ategi a thamaki.
17 and Jesus said unto them—Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, mũnũmĩrĩre, na nĩngamũtua ategi a andũ.”
18 and, straightway, leaving the nets, they followed him.
O rĩmwe magĩtiganĩria neti ciao makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
19 And, going forward a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and them who were in the boat putting in order the nets;
Na aathiathia hanini, akĩona Jakubu mũrũ wa Zebedi hamwe na mũrũ wa nyina Johana marĩ gatarũ-inĩ makĩhaarĩria neti ciao.
20 and, straightway, he called them, —and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired men, they came away after him.
O rĩmwe akĩmeeta, nao magĩtiga ithe wao Zebedi gatarũ-inĩ hamwe na aruti ake a wĩra na makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
21 And they journey into Capernaum. And, straightway, on the Sabbath, entering into the synagogue, he began teaching;
Nao magĩthiĩ Kaperinaumu, na rĩrĩa mũthenya wa Thabatũ wakinyire, Jesũ agĩtoonya thunagogi na akĩambĩrĩria kũrutana.
22 and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, —for he was teaching them as one having authority, and, not as the Scribes.
Na andũ makĩgegio nĩ ũrutani wake, nĩgũkorwo aamarutaga ta mũndũ warĩ na ũhoti, no ti ta arutani a watho.
23 And, straightway, there was in their synagogue, a man in an impure spirit, —and he cried out aloud,
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ o ĩyo kũu thunagogi yao, nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ warĩ na ngoma thũku, nake akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ,
24 saying—What have we in common with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, The Holy One of God.
“Ũrenda atĩa na ithuĩ, wee Jesũ wa Nazarethi? Ũũkĩte gũtũniina? Nĩnjũũĩ wee nĩwe ũ! Wee nĩwe Ũrĩa-Mũtheru-wa-Ngai.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, [saying]—Be silenced, and come forth out of him!
Nake Jesũ akĩmĩkũma na hinya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kira na uume thĩinĩ wake!”
26 And the impure spirit, tearing him, and calling out with a loud voice, came forth out of him;
Ngoma ĩyo thũku ĩkĩmũthukathuka na hinya na ĩkiuma thĩinĩ wake ĩgĩkayaga.
27 and they were amazed, one and all, so that they began to discuss among themselves, saying—What is this? New teaching! With authority, to the impure spirits also, he giveth orders, and they obey him!
Andũ acio othe makĩgega mũno nginya makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ ũrĩkũ? Ũyũ nĩ ũrutani mwerũ, wĩ na ũhoti! Nĩ araatha o na ngoma thũku na ikamwathĩkĩra.”
28 And forth went the report of him, straightway, on every hand, into the surrounding country of Galilee.
Nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja na ihenya bũrũri wothe wa Galili.
29 And, straightway, out of the synagogue, going forth, he went unto the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Na maarĩkia kuuma thunagogi, magĩthiĩ na Jakubu na Johana mũciĩ gwa Simoni na Anderea.
30 Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was lying in a fever, and, straightway, they speak to him concerning her;
Na rĩrĩ, nyina wa mũtumia wa Simoni aarĩ gĩtanda-inĩ arĩ mũrũaru mũrimũ wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ, nao makĩĩra Jesũ ũhoro wake.
31 and, coming near, he raised her up, grasping her hand, —and the fever left her, and she began ministering unto them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩthiĩ harĩa aarĩ, akĩmũnyiita guoko akĩmũũkĩria. Mũrimũ ũcio wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ ũkĩmũtiga na akĩambĩrĩria kũmatungatĩra.
32 And, evening arriving, when the sun went in, they were bearing unto him all who were sick, and them who were demonized;
Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio thuutha wa riũa gũthũa, andũ makĩrehera Jesũ andũ arĩa othe maarĩ arũaru na arĩa maarĩ na ndaimono.
33 and all the city was gathered unto the door;
Nao andũ a itũũra othe makĩũngana hau mũrango-inĩ wa nyũmba,
34 and he cured many that were sick with divers diseases, and, many demons, he cast out, and suffered not the demons to be talking, —because they knew him [to be Christ].
nake Jesũ akĩhonia andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ na mĩrimũ mĩthemba mĩingĩ. Ningĩ akĩingata ndaimono nyingĩ, no ndetĩkĩririe ndaimono ciarie tondũ nĩciamũũĩ.
35 And, very early by night arising, he went out [and departed] into a desert place, and, there, was praying;
Rũciinĩ kĩroko tene kũrĩ o na nduma, Jesũ agĩũkĩra akiuma nyũmba agĩthiĩ handũ keheri-inĩ, akĩhoera ho.
36 and Simon, and they who were with him, went in quest of him,
Nake Simoni na arĩa maarĩ nao magĩthiĩ kũmwetha,
37 and found him, and say unto him—All, are seeking thee;
na rĩrĩa maamuonire, makĩanĩrĩra, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Andũ othe nĩwe maracaria!”
38 and he saith unto them—Let us be going elsewhere, into the neighbouring country-towns, in order that, there also, I may be making proclamation, —for, to this end, came I forth;
Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Rekei tuume gũkũ tũthiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ, matũũra-inĩ marĩa me hakuhĩ, nĩguo hunjie o nakuo. Tondũ nĩkĩo ndokire.”
39 and he came, making proclamation, into their synagogues, throughout the whole of Galilee, —and, was casting the demons out.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiũrũrũka Galili guothe akĩhunjagia thunagogi-inĩ ciao na akĩingataga ndaimono.
40 And there cometh unto him, a leper, beseeching him and [kneeling], —saying unto him—If thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me;
Na mũndũ ũmwe warĩ na mangũ agĩũka kũrĩ we na akĩmũthaitha aturĩtie maru, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩenda-rĩ, no ũũtherie.”
41 and, moved with compassion, he stretched forth the hand, and touched him, and saith unto him—I am willing, Be cleansed!
Nake Jesũ akĩringwo nĩ tha nyingĩ, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake akĩhutia mũndũ ũcio. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ngwenda. Therio.”
42 and, straightway, the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed;
Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ ũcio agĩthirwo nĩ mangũ, akĩhonio.
43 and, strictly charging him, straightway, he urged him forth;
Nake Jesũ akĩmũkaania na hinya na akĩmwĩra athiĩ,
44 and saith unto him—Mind! unto no one, say aught, —but withdraw, thyself, show unto the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what things Moses enjoined, for a witness unto them.
ningĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Menya ndũkeere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũhoro ũyũ. No thiĩ ũkeyonanie kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ũrute magongona marĩa Musa aathanĩte nĩ ũndũ wa gũtherio gwaku, ũtuĩke ũira kũrĩ o.”
45 But, he, going forth, began to be proclaiming many things, and blazing abroad the story, so that, no longer, was it possible for him, openly, into a city, to enter, —but, outside, in desert places, [was he], and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
No handũ ha ũguo agĩthiĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kwaria na kũmemerekia ũhoro ũcio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ ndacookire kũhota gũtoonya itũũra thĩinĩ akĩonagwo nĩ andũ, no aikaraga na nja kũndũ gũtaarĩ andũ. No andũ no mookaga kũrĩ we moimĩte kũndũ guothe.
