< Mark 1 >
1 This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Kĩambĩrĩria kĩa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũkoniĩ Jesũ Kristũ Mũrũ wa Ngai.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Look, I am sending my messenger before your face, the one who will prepare your way.
O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa Isaia ũrĩa mũnabii atĩrĩ: “Nĩngũtũma mũtũmwo wakwa athiĩ mbere yaku, ũrĩa ũgũgũthondekera njĩra yaku.”
3 The voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.'”
“Kũrĩ mũgambo wa mũndũ ũkwanĩrĩra werũ-inĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Haarĩriai njĩra ya Mwathani, rũngariai njĩra ciake.’”
4 John came, baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Johana ookire akĩhunjagia, na akĩbatithanagĩria werũ-inĩ. Aahunjagia atĩ andũ merire, nĩguo marekerwo mehia mao, nĩgeetha mabatithio.
5 The whole country of Judea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan River, 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 John was wearing a coat of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and he 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 He proclaimed, “One will come after me who is more powerful than I; the strap of his sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
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 baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
Niĩ ndĩmũbatithagia na maaĩ, nowe arĩmũbatithagia na Roho Mũtheru.”
9 It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and he was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
Na rĩrĩ, ihinda o rĩu Jesũ agĩũka oimĩte Nazarethi kũu Galili, na akĩbatithio nĩ Johana rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani.
10 As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Spirit coming down on him like a dove.
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ oimĩraga maaĩ-inĩ akĩona igũrũ rĩahingũka, nake Roho Mũtheru akĩmũikũrũkĩra ahaana ta ndutura.
11 A voice came out of the heavens, “You are my beloved Son. I am very pleased with you.”
Mũgambo ũkiuma igũrũ ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “We nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete, na nĩngenaga mũno nĩwe.”
12 Then the Spirit compelled him to go out into the wilderness.
Na o rĩmwe Roho akĩmuoya akĩmũtwara werũ-inĩ,
13 He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels served him.
na agĩikara kũu werũ-inĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, akĩgeragio nĩ Shaitani. Nake aikaranagia na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, nao araika makamũtungatagĩra.
14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God.
Thuutha wa Johana gũikio njeera, Jesũ agĩthiĩ Galili akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai,
15 He said, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel.”
akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ihinda nĩikinyu, naguo ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkuhĩrĩirie. Mwĩrirei mwĩtĩkie Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega!”
16 When he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
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 Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, mũnũmĩrĩre, na nĩngamũtua ategi a andũ.”
18 Then immediately they left the nets and followed him.
O rĩmwe magĩtiganĩria neti ciao makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
19 As Jesus was walking on a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and John his brother; they were in the boat mending the nets.
Na aathiathia hanini, akĩona Jakubu mũrũ wa Zebedi hamwe na mũrũ wa nyina Johana marĩ gatarũ-inĩ makĩhaarĩria neti ciao.
20 He called them and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and they followed him.
O rĩmwe akĩmeeta, nao magĩtiga ithe wao Zebedi gatarũ-inĩ hamwe na aruti ake a wĩra na makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.
21 Then they came into Capernaum, and on the Sabbath, Jesus went into the synagogue and taught.
Nao magĩthiĩ Kaperinaumu, na rĩrĩa mũthenya wa Thabatũ wakinyire, Jesũ agĩtoonya thunagogi na akĩambĩrĩria kũrutana.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as someone who has 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 Just then a man in their synagogue who had an unclean spirit cried out,
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ o ĩyo kũu thunagogi yao, nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ warĩ na ngoma thũku, nake akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ,
24 saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are 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 Jesus rebuked the demon and said, “Be quiet and come out of him!”
Nake Jesũ akĩmĩkũma na hinya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kira na uume thĩinĩ wake!”
26 The unclean spirit threw him down and went out from him while crying out with a loud voice.
Ngoma ĩyo thũku ĩkĩmũthukathuka na hinya na ĩkiuma thĩinĩ wake ĩgĩkayaga.
27 All the people were amazed, so they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority? He even commands the unclean spirits 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 The news about him went out everywhere into the whole region of Galilee.
Nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja na ihenya bũrũri wothe wa Galili.
29 After coming out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
Na maarĩkia kuuma thunagogi, magĩthiĩ na Jakubu na Johana mũciĩ gwa Simoni na Anderea.
30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever, and they told Jesus about her.
Na rĩrĩ, nyina wa mũtumia wa Simoni aarĩ gĩtanda-inĩ arĩ mũrũaru mũrimũ wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ, nao makĩĩra Jesũ ũhoro wake.
31 So he came, took her by the hand, and raised her up; the fever left her, and she started serving them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ agĩthiĩ harĩa aarĩ, akĩmũnyiita guoko akĩmũũkĩria. Mũrimũ ũcio wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ ũkĩmũtiga na akĩambĩrĩria kũmatungatĩra.
32 That evening, after the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed by demons.
Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio thuutha wa riũa gũthũa, andũ makĩrehera Jesũ andũ arĩa othe maarĩ arũaru na arĩa maarĩ na ndaimono.
33 The whole city gathered together at the door.
Nao andũ a itũũra othe makĩũngana hau mũrango-inĩ wa nyũmba,
34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons, but he did not allow the demons to speak because they knew him.
nake Jesũ akĩhonia andũ aingĩ arĩa maarĩ na mĩrimũ mĩthemba mĩingĩ. Ningĩ akĩingata ndaimono nyingĩ, no ndetĩkĩririe ndaimono ciarie tondũ nĩciamũũĩ.
35 He got up very early, while it was still dark; he left and went out into a solitary place and there he prayed.
Rũciinĩ kĩroko tene kũrĩ o na nduma, Jesũ agĩũkĩra akiuma nyũmba agĩthiĩ handũ keheri-inĩ, akĩhoera ho.
36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
Nake Simoni na arĩa maarĩ nao magĩthiĩ kũmwetha,
37 They found him and they said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
na rĩrĩa maamuonire, makĩanĩrĩra, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Andũ othe nĩwe maracaria!”
38 He said, “Let us go elsewhere, out into the surrounding towns, so that I may preach there also. That is why I came out here.”
Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Rekei tuume gũkũ tũthiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ, matũũra-inĩ marĩa me hakuhĩ, nĩguo hunjie o nakuo. Tondũ nĩkĩo ndokire.”
39 He went throughout all of Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiũrũrũka Galili guothe akĩhunjagia thunagogi-inĩ ciao na akĩingataga ndaimono.
40 A leper came to him. He was begging him; he knelt down and said to him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
Na mũndũ ũmwe warĩ na mangũ agĩũka kũrĩ we na akĩmũthaitha aturĩtie maru, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩenda-rĩ, no ũũtherie.”
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying to him, “I am willing. Be clean.”
Nake Jesũ akĩringwo nĩ tha nyingĩ, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake akĩhutia mũndũ ũcio. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ngwenda. Therio.”
42 Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ ũcio agĩthirwo nĩ mangũ, akĩhonio.
43 Jesus strictly warned him and sent him away.
Nake Jesũ akĩmũkaania na hinya na akĩmwĩra athiĩ,
44 He said to him, “Be sure to say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to 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 went out and began to spread the news widely, so much that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but he stayed out in remote places. Yet people were still coming to him from everywhere.
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.
