Mark 1
1 ([This is/I want to tell you]) the good message about Jesus Christ, the Son of God (OR, the man who was also God). [What I want to tell you] begins just like the prophet Isaiah [said it would begin, when] he wrote [these words that God said to Jesus: ] Listen! I am sending my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare [people for] your [coming].
Cathut Capa Jisuh Khrih e kamthang lawk a kamtawngnae teh het telah doeh ao.
Ca karuem dawk Isaiah ni a thut e teh, khenhaw! Na cei nahane lamthung ka rasoun hanelah patoune ka patoun han.
3 He will call out to people [who pass by where he is] in the desolate area, “As people improve and straighten out pathways [before an important official arrives] [MET], make [yourselves] ready [DOU] [in order that you will be prepared when] the Lord [comes].”
Kahrawngum vah hramkhai e lawk teh, Cathut a tho nahane lamthung rasoun awh. A lamthungnaw palan awh, ati e patetlah,
4 [The messenger that Isaiah predicted was] John. [People called him] ‘The Baptizer’. In the desolate area near the Jordan River he kept telling people, “If you want God to forgive you for having sinned, you must turn away from your sinful behavior [before you ask me to] baptize [you].”
Jawhan teh kahrawngum vah tui dawk baptisma a poe teh, yon ngaithoum nahanelah, pankângainae baptisma kamthang dei hanelah a tho.
5 A great number [HYP] of people who lived in Jerusalem [city] and [elsewhere] in the Judea [district] were going out to where John was. There, [after hearing John’s message], they [responded by] confessing the sinful things [that they had done]. Then they were being baptized by John {John was baptizing them} in the Jordan River.
Jerusalem kho thung e taminaw pueng koehoi a kamtawng teh Judah ram e tami pueng teh Jawhan koe a tho awh teh, amamae a yon a pâpho awh teh, Jordan tui dawkvah, tui baptisma a coe awh.
6 John wore [rough] clothes made of camel’s hair. And [as the prophet Elijah had done], he wore a leather belt around his waist; and what he ate was [only] grasshoppers and honey [that he found] in that desolate area.
Jawhan teh Kalauk muen hoi kawng e angki a kho teh, a keng dawk phaivuen taisawm a kâyeng teh, samtong hoi kahrawng e khoitui hah a canei.
7 He was preaching, “Very shortly a man will come who is very great. I [am nothing compared to him. Because he is so superior to me], I am not even worthy to [serve him like a slave] by stooping down and untying his sandals.
A hramkhai e teh, kai hlak hno ka sak thai e tami teh ka hnukkhu lah a tho. Ahnie khokkhawmrui tabut vaiteh rasu hane boehai ka kamcu hoeh.
8 I used [only] water when I baptized you [because you said that you wanted to change your lives], but he will put his Holy Spirit [within] you [to truly change your lives].”
Kai ni teh nangmanaw hah tui dawk baptisma na poe awh. Ahni ni teh nangmanaw hah Kathoung Muitha hoi baptisma na poe awh han telah a hramkhai.
9 During that time [when John was preaching], Jesus came from Nazareth [town], which is in Galilee [district]. He went to [where John was preaching] and he was baptized by John {John baptized him} in the Jordan [River].
Hatnavah, Jisuh teh Galilee ram Nazareth kho hoi a tho teh, Jawhan ni Jordan palang vah tui baptisma a poe.
10 Immediately after [Jesus] came up out of the water, he saw heaven opened up [and he saw] the Spirit [of God] descending on himself. He came in the form of a dove.
Tui dawk hoi bout a thaw navah kalvan a kamawng teh Muitha teh âbakhu patetlah Jisuh dawk a cu.
11 And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
Nang teh Kai ni ka pahren poung e, ka lungkuep poung e ka Capa doeh telah kalvan hoi lawk a tho.
12 (Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
Hathnukkhu Muitha ni Jisuh teh kahrawngum tang a cei sak.
13 He was there for 40 days. During that time, he was tempted by Satan {Satan tempted him}. There were wild animals [there] also. But angels took care of him.
A hnin 40 touh kahrawngum vah ao teh, Setan e tacueknae a kâhmo. Sarangnaw hoi cungtalah ao awh teh, kalvantaminaw ni Bawipa teh a khetyawt awh.
14 Later, after John was put in prison {after [soldiers] put John in prison} [because he had rebuked the governor Herod Antipas for his sins], Jesus went to Galilee [district]. There he was preaching the good message [that came] from God.
Jawhan teh thongim thung a pha hnukkhu vah, Jisuh teh Galilee ram lah a cei. Cathut uknaeram kamthang hah a pâpho.
15 He was repeatedly saying, “Now is the time when God will begin to rule people’s lives [in a new way]. [So] turn away from your sinful behavior! Believe the good message [in order] ([to belong to him/to become those whose lives he will rule])!”
Atueng a pha toe. Cathut uknaeram teh a hnai toe. Pankângai awh leih. Kamthang kahawi teh yuem awh leih, telah a pathang.
16 [One day], while Jesus was walking along by Galilee Lake, he saw [two men], Simon and Simon’s [younger] brother, Andrew. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake. They [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
Galilee tuipui teng a cei navah, Simon hoi a nawngha Andru tanga ka heng roi e hah a hmu. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh roi teh tangakamankungnaw lah ao roi.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will [teach] you how to [gather people to become my disciples]” [MET].
Jisuh ni ahnimouh roi hanlah, ka hnukkâbang leih, tami kamankung lah na sak roi han atipouh teh,
18 Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
Ahnimouh roi ni a tamlawknaw a ceitakhai awh teh, a hnuk tang a kâbang roi.
19 After they had gone on a little further, Jesus saw [two other men], James and James’ [younger] brother, John. They were the sons of [a man named] Zebedee. They were both in a boat mending [fishing] nets.
Haw hoi dongdeng a cei nah, Zebedee e capa roi Jem hoi Jawhan teh long dawk tamlawk a cip roi e hah a hmu.
20 As soon as Jesus saw them, he told them that [they should leave their work and to come with him]. So they left their father, [who remained] in the boat with the hired servants, and they went away with Jesus.
Ahnimouh roi hai tang a kaw. Ahnimouh roi ni long dawk kaawm e, a hlai e taminaw hoi a na pa Zebedee hah a ceitakhai teh a hnuk a kâbang roi.
21 [Later] Jesus [and those disciples] arrived at Capernaum [town]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish rest day), after Jesus had entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), he began teaching [the people who had gathered there].
Hahoi, Kapernuam kho a cei awh teh, sabbath hnin vah sinakok a kâen teh a cangkhai.
22 They were continually amazed at the way he taught. [He did] not [just teach what others had taught], like the men who teach the [Jewish] laws did. [They habitually just repeated what other people had taught]. Instead, he taught with [his own] authority.
Cakathutkungnaw patetlah laipalah, kâtawnnae lahoi a cangkhai dawkvah, rangpuinaw ni a cangkhainae hah kângai lah a ru awh.
23 Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
Ahnimae Sinakok thungvah, kakhine muitha ni a man e tami buet touh ao.
24 “Jesus, from Nazareth [town, since] we [evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, ([do not interfere with us]!/what do you want with us [evil spirits]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now]!/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. I know that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
Nazareth tami Jisuh, kaimouh hoi bangtelamaw na kâseng vaw. Kaimanaw raphoe hanelah maw na tho vaw. Nang hah apimaw tie hai na panue. Cathut e kathounge tami lah na o ati teh a hramki.
25 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
Jisuh ni kahraikathout hah, lawkkamuem awmh, hote tami thung hoi tâcawt titeh a yue.
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
Kakhine muitha niyah, hote tami hah a pâyaw sak teh, a hramki laihoi a tâco takhai.
27 All [the people who were there] were amazed. As a result, they discussed this among themselves, [exclaiming], “(This is [amazing]!/What is this?) [RHQ] Not only does he teach in a new and authoritative way, but also the evil spirits obey him [when] he commands [them]!”
Taminaw pueng kângairu awh teh, hno tithainae hoi cangkhainae a katha e heh bangtelah nama aw. Kakhine muithanaw hai kâtawnnae lahoi kâ a poe teh, ahnimouh ni hai a lawk a ngai pouh bo aw telah buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpankhai awh.
28 The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
Hettelah hoi, Jisuh e kamthang teh Galilee ram kho tangkuem vah, karang poung lah a kamthang.
29 After they left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), [Jesus, Simon and Andrew], along with James and John went directly to Simon and Andrew’s house.
Sinakok hoi a tâco awh teh Jem hoi Jawhan ti hoi Simon hoi Andru im vah a cei awh.
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
Simon e a masei napui a pataw teh, sut a yan e hah Jisuh koe karanglah a thaisak awh.
31 He went to her, and helped her up by taking hold of her hand. She recovered [at once] from the fever, and then she [got up and] served them [some food].
Jisuh ni ahni koe a cei teh, a kut dawk a kuet teh a pathaw. A pathaw tahma a tak a dam dawkvah, ahnimanaw hah a khetyawt.
32 That evening, after the sun had gone down [and restrictions about travel on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [were ended], some people brought to Jesus many people who were sick and others whose lives evil spirits were controlling.
Kanî a khup hnukkhu tangmin vah, a tak ka dam hoeh e naw hoi kahraikathout ni a man e naw teh ama koevah a thokhai awh.
33 [It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
Kho thung e taminaw pueng teh takhang koe a kamkhueng awh.
34 Jesus healed many people who were ill with various diseases. He also expelled many demons [from people]. He did not allow the demons to tell people [about him], because they knew that he [had come from God, and for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
Aphunphun lah ka pataw e naw hah a dam sak teh kahraituilinaw hai a pâlei. Kahrainaw ni Jisuh teh a panue awh dawkvah, Jisuh ni ahnimanaw lawk kam touh boehai dei sak hoeh.
35 Jesus got up very early [the next morning] while it was still dark. He left [the house] and went away [from the town] to a place where there were no people. Then he prayed there.
Atangtho amom khodai hoehnahlan vah, Jisuh teh kahrawngum vah a cei teh, a ratoum.
36 Simon and his companions searched for him. When they found him, [wanting him to go back to town to help other people], they said to him,
Simon hoi a huinaw ni Jisuh teh a tawng awh.
37 “[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
Jisuh ma a kâhmo awh toteh taminaw pueng ni na tawng awh kaima atipouh awh.
38 He said to them, “[No], let’s go on to the neighboring towns in order that I can preach there also, because the reason that I came [into the world] was to [preach to people] in many places!”
Jisuh ni a tengpam e khonaw pueng koe, phung dei hanlah cet a sei, hot hane doeh kai teh ka tho telah a hnukkâbangnaw koe atipouh.
39 So they went throughout Galilee [district. As they did so, each (Sabbath/Jewish rest day]) he preached in (synagogues/Jewish meeting places). He was also expelling evil spirits [from people].
Hatdawkvah, Galilee kho kaawm e sinakoknaw dawkvah phung a dei teh kahraituilinaw a pâlei.
40 [One day] a man who had [a bad skin disease called] leprosy came to Jesus. He knelt down in front of Jesus and then he pleaded with him saying, “[Please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you want to!”
Ka hrikbei e tami buet touh teh Jisuh koe a tho, a khokcuengkhuem teh, na ngainae lah awm pawiteh kai hah na thoungsak haw telah pahrennae a hei.
41 Jesus felt very sorry for him. [So he ignored the religious laws about coming close to people who had that disease]. He reached out his hand and touched the man. Then he said to him, “Since I am willing [to heal you], be healed {I heal you} [now]!”
Jisuh ni a pahren dawkvah, a kut hoi a tek teh, oe ka ngainae a o, thoung lawih, atipouh.
42 Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
Telah a dei pouh tahma vah, hrikbei patawnae a dam teh a thoung.
43 Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
Jisuh ni, nang kâhruetcuet.
44 What Jesus said was, “Go to a local priest and show yourself to him [in order that he may examine you and verify that you are healed]. Then, [after the priest tells the local people], they will know [that you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that you do not tell others [about what happened] Then go to [Jerusalem and take to the priest what Moses commanded that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer, in order that he] may offer it [as a sacrifice to God].”
Hete kong heh api koehai khoeroe dei pouh hanh lah a. Vaihmanaw koe cet nateh na tak kâpâtueh. Ayânaw ni na dam toe tie a panue awh nahanelah, Mosi ni kâ poe e patetlah lawkpanuesaknae hah sak leih, ati pouh teh a cei sak.
45 The man went [and presented himself to the priest. But then] he began to tell many people about [how Jesus had healed him] [DOU]. As a result, Jesus was no longer able to enter any town publicly [because the crowds would surround him]. Instead, he remained outside [the towns] in places [where no people lived]. But people kept coming to him from all over that region.
Hatei hote tami ni, pâphat laipalah hoehoe a dei dawkvah, peng a kamthang. Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jisuh teh kho thungvah kâen thai laipalah, kho alawilah kingdinae hmuen koevah ama dueng ao teh, ahni koevah a tho awh.
