Marqqossa 1
1 Xoossa na Yesus Kirstosa koyro mishirachoy hayssa.
The beginning of the Good News about Jesus Christ.
2 Nabe Isayasa bagara “Hekko ness ogge lo7othanade ta kitana urra ta neeppe sinthara yedana
It is said in the Prophet Isaiah — ‘Behold! I send my Messenger before thy face; he shall prepare thy way.
3 Godas ogge gigisite izi baana ogge sit histi othite, gishe bazo bitan wasiza gireth” geteti xafetides.
The voice of one crying aloud in the Wilderness: “Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”’
4 Hesathokka xamaqiza Yanisay asa xaamaqishenne “inte nagarappe simmidi xammaqettitte, Xoossi inte nagara atto gaana” gi elishe bazora kezi wodhides.
And in fulfilment of this, John the Baptizer appeared in the Wilderness, proclaiming a baptism upon repentance, for the forgiveness of sins.
5 Yihuda derey kumeth Yerusalame asay wuri Yanisakko bi bidi ba nagara nagara paaxxi paaxxi Yordanose shaafan Yanisa kushen xammaqetidees.
The whole of Judea, as well as all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, went out to him; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 He wode Yanisay mayzay gamela ithikkeppe othetida mayo, dabba dafora dances, miza qummay bollene degera eessa.
John was clad in clothing of camels’ hair, with a belt of leather round his waist, and lived on locusts and wild honey;
7 Izi “tani hokkada iza camma qasho birshanas besontadey tappe adhizadey tappe guyera yana.
and he proclaimed — “There is coming after me one more powerful than I, and I am not fit even to stoop down and unfasten his sandals.
8 Tani intena hathan xammaqays izi gidikko intena Xillo Ayanan xammaqana gidi sabakidees.
I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 He wode yesusay Galila garsan diza Nazrete getetiza katamayppe Yordanose shaafa yidi Yanisa kushen xamaqetidees
Now about that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Yesusay xamaqetidi Hathafe kezida mala saloy doyetin Xillo Ayanay izza bolla wolle kafo milatidi wodhishin beyidees.
And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent apart, and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him,
11 Qassekka ta dosiza nay nena; nenan ta ufayistays giza qaala girethi pude salora setetidees.
and from the heavens came a voice — “Thou art my Son, the Beloved; in thee I delight.”
12 Herakka Xillo Ayanay izza duge bazo kalethidi efidees.
Immediately afterwards the Spirit drove Jesus out into the Wilderness;
13 Hen banzonkka oyduu tammu galas gakanas Xal7aera pacetishe gam7idees. Do7atara issippe deyidees, kitanchatikka iza madida.
and he was there in the Wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts, while the angels ministered to him.
14 Yansay qasho keth gelidaysappe guye Yesusay Xoossa mishiracho qaala sabakishe gede Galila biidi “Wodey gakidess; Xoossa kawoteth matides; nagarape simitte, mishracho qalan amanite” giidi sabakidees.
After John had been committed to prison, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God —
“The time has come, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the Good News.”
16 Yesusay Galila abba achara adhishin Simonayne iza isha Indirasay mole oykizayta gidida gish isti mole oykiza gite aban yegishin be7ides.
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.
17 Yesusay ista hayte tana kalitte inte mole oykii shisiza mala ass oykizayta histana gides.
“Come and follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will set you to fish for men.”
18 Isti herakka mole giteza yegi agidi Yesusa kaallida.
They left their nets at once, and followed him.
19 Guthu gede sinthe adhidi Zabidosa naa Yaqobene iza isha Yanisay wogolon utidi mole gite gigisishin beydine herakka ista xeygidees.
Going on a little further, he saw James, Zebediah’s son, and his brother John, who also were in their boat mending the nets.
20 Istika ba aawa Zabidosas qaxaretidi othiza asatara issippe wogoloza gidon agidi Yesusa kaallidi bida.
Jesus at once called them, and they left their father Zebediah in the boat with the crew, and went after him.
21 Heppekka Qifirnahomme bida. Herakka Yesusay Ayhudata sanbata galas Ayhudata wossa keth gelidi tamarso oykidees.
And they walked into Capernaum. On the next Sabbath Jesus went into the Synagogue and began to teach.
22 Xafista mala gidonta godatethara diza asa mala izi tamarasin asay wuri iza timirtezan malaletidees.
The people were amazed at his teaching, for he taught them like one who had authority, and not like the Teachers of the Law.
23 He wode Ayhudata wosa keeththan diza tuna ayanay iza bolla diza issi adey
Now there was in their Synagogue at the time a man under the power of a foul spirit, who called out:
24 “Nazirete Yesusa ne nuppe azi koyay? Nuna dhaysana yadi? Ne oonakone ta nena erays, neni Xoossa gesha” gidi wasidees.
“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!”
25 Yesuasakka tunna ayanaza “co7u gada izappe keza” giidi hanqidees.
But Jesus rebuked the spirit: “Be silent! Come out from him.”
26 Tuna ayanay addeza gendersidi izi qaketishin izappe wasishe kezidees.
The foul spirit threw the man into a fit, and with a loud cry came out from him.
27 Derey wuri “asso haysi aza pala? Haysi godatethara diza oratha timirtekko! Tunna ayanatakka azazes istikka izas azazetetes” gi malaletishe asay ba garsan issay issa oychecho oykides.
And they were all so amazed that they kept asking: “What is this? Strange teaching indeed! He gives his commands with authority even to the foul spirits, and they obey him!”
28 Herakka iza otho worey kumeth Galila yushon diza dere wuruson siyetidees.
And the fame of Jesus spread at once in all directions, through the whole neighbourhood of Galilee.
29 Ayhudata wossa kethafe kezida mala Yaqoberanne Yanisara issippe gede Simonasone Indiriyasaso gelida.
As soon as they had come out from the Synagogue, they went, with James and John, into the house of Simon and Andrew.
30 He gelidamalakka Simona bolotiya micha harge sakistada zini7idaysa izas yotida.
Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying ill with fever, and they at once told Jesus about her.
31 Hessa gish Yesusay izikko shiqidi izi kushe oykidi denthidees. Michay agin iza dendada ista mokkadus.
Jesus went up to her and, grasping her hand, raised her up; the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.
32 Away wuldappe guye gadey dhumishin asay harganchatane daydanthi oykida asa wursi Yesusakko ekki yidees.
In the evening, after sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who were ill or possessed by demons;
33 He katamayn diza asay wuri keeththa karen shiqides.
and the whole city was gathered round the door.
34 Izikka dumma dumma hargen saketidayta darota pathidees. Daro daydanthatakka kesidees. Gido atin daydanthati Yesusay oonakone eriza gish daydanthati hasa7ana mala Yesusay koybeyna.
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.
35 Sosey zon7onta malado wontara Yesusay dendidi issi pashka so biidi hen wossa oykidees.
In the morning, long before daylight, Jesus rose and went out, and, going to a lonely spot, there began to pray.
36 Simonayne izara dizayti Yeusa koyana kezi bida.
But Simon and his companions hastened after him;
37 Isti iza demidi assi wuri nena koshan dees gida.
and, when they found him, they exclaimed: “Every one is looking for you!”
38 Yesusaykka “ta yiday tamarsanas gidida gish anne mishracho qaala yootanas matan diza gutata boss” gidees.
But Jesus said to them: “Let us go somewhere else, into the country towns near, that I may make my proclamation in them also; for that was why I came.”
39 Hesa gish Ayhudata wossa keeththan geli geli sabakishene daydanth kesishe Galila kumethan yuyidees.
And he went about making his proclamation in their Synagogues all through Galilee, and driving out the demons.
40 Issi inchiracha hargizadey Yesusakko shiqidine iza sinthan gulbatidi “koykko ne tana pathana danda7asa” gi wossidees.
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.”
41 Yesusaykka adezas michetidi ba kushe yedi iza bochidine “ta ne paxanamala koyays paxa” gidees.
Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying as he did so: “I am willing; become clean.”
42 Herakka adeza inchiracha hargey agin, adezi paxidees.
Instantly the leprosy left the man, and he became clean;
43 Yesuaykka addezas “onaskka hayssa ne hasa7onta mala nagista, giddo atin bada qesses nena bessa, derezas markka gidana mala ne paxidaysas Mussey azazida yarshoza shisha” gidi kehi minth yotidees.
and then Jesus, after sternly warning him, immediately sent him away, and said to him:
“Be careful not to say anything to any one; but go and show yourself to the Priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.”
45 Gido atin adezi kezi biidi ba bida wurso son wore darsi dharcidees. Hessa gedon Yesusay awa katamankka qoncera gelanas danda7ibeyna. Hessafe dendidaysan katamappe karera assi baynda son dusu oykidees. Assay gidikko awappe awappekka izakko yidees.
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.
