Marqqoosa 1
1 Hayssi Xoossaa Na7aa Yesuus Kiristtoosa Wonggelaa doomethaa.
The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
2 Nabiya Isayaasi xaafida maxaafan Xoossay, “Hekko, taani ta kiitanchchuwa taani neeppe sinthe yeddana. I ne ogiya giigisana.
As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way";
3 Issoy bazzo gidon ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, ‘Godaa ogiya giigisite; I hamuttana horogaa iyaw suurisite gis’” yaagees.
"The voice of one crying aloud: 'In the Desert prepare a road for the Lord: Make His highways straight.'"
4 Xammaqiya Yohaannisi asaa xammaqishe, “Hintte nagaraappe simmidi xammaqetite; Xoossay hintte nagaraa atto gaana” yaagidi qaala odishe bazzo biittafe yis.
So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for forgiveness of sins.
5 Yihuda biittan de7iya asay ubbaynne Yerusalaame katamaa asay ubbay Yohaannisakko yoosona. Bantta nagara paaxin, Yohaannisi entta Yorddaanose Shaafan xammaqees.
There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.
6 Yohaannisi gimale ikiseppe dadettida afila ma77ees. Ba xeessan dafo danccees; qassi boolenne degera eessi mees.
As for John, his garment was of camel's hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
7 Yohaannisi qaala odishe, “Taappe guyera daro minneyssi yees. Hari attoshin, taani iya caammaa wodoruwa hokkada billanawu bessike.
His announcement was, "There is One coming after me mightier than I--One whose sandal-strap I am unworthy to stoop down and unfasten.
8 Taani hinttena haathan xammaqays, shin I hinttena Geeshsha Ayyaanan xammaqana” yaagis.
I have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
9 Yesuusi he wode Galiila biittan de7iya Naazirete katamaappe yin, Yohaannisi Yorddaanose Shaafan iya xammaqis.
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan;
10 Yesuusi haathaafe keyaa wode saloy dooyettin, Geeshsha Ayyaanay ba bolla holeda wodhdhishin be7is.
and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him;
11 Qassi saloppe, “Taani dosiya ta na7ay nena; ta nenan ufayttays” yaagiya qaalay yis.
and a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
12 Iira Geeshsha Ayyaanay Yesuusa bazzo biitta efis.
At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the Desert,
13 Yesuusi bazzo biittan Xalahen paacettishe oytamu gallas gam77is. Do7atara de7is, shin kiitanchchoti yidi iya maaddidosona.
where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.
14 Yohaannisi qashettidaappe guye, Yesuusi Xoossaa kawotethaa Wonggelaa odishe Galiila biittaa bis.
Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God's Good News.
15 Yan, “Wodey gakkis; Xoossaa kawotethay matattis. Hintte nagaraappe simmidi, Wonggelan ammanite” yaagis.
"The time has fully come," He said, "and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
16 Yesuusi Galiila Abbaa matara aadhdhishe, molo oykkeyssata, Simoonanne iya ishaa Inddiriyasa, bantta gitiya abban yeggeyssata be7is.
One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.
17 Enttako, “Tana kaallite; taani hinttena ase oythu tamaarssana” yaagis.
"Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."
18 Entti sohuwara bantta gitiya yeggi aggidi Yesuusa kaallidosona.
At once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Yesuusi guuthi sinthe bidi, nam77u ishata Zabdiyoosa nayta, Yayqoobanne Yohaannisa wogoluwa giddon bantta gitiya giigiseyssata be7is.
Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.
20 I entta be7ida mela xeegis. Entti bantta aawa Zabdiyoosa, iya oosanchchotara wogoluwa giddon yeggi aggidi Yesuusa kaallidi bidosona.
They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.
21 Entti Qifirnahoome katamaa gelidosona. Sambbaati gelida mela Yesuusi ellesidi Ayhude Woosa Keethi gelidi tamaarsso oykkis.
So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.
22 Maatara de7iya asada tamaarssesippe attin higge asttamaaretatho tamaarssonna gisho, asay iya timirttiyan malaalettidosona.
The people listened with amazement to His teaching--for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of the Scribes--
23 He wode tuna ayyaanay oykkida issi uray Ayhude Woosa Keethi gelidi ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi,
when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:
24 “Naazirete Yesuusa, neeni nuuppe ay koyay? Nuna dhayssanaw yadi? Neeni ooneekko ta erays; neeni Xoossaa Geeshshaa gidikkii?” yaagis.
"What have you to do with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--God's Holy One."
25 Yesuusi he tuna ayyaanaa, “Hayza, ha addiyafe keya” gidi kiittis.
But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, "Silence! come out of him."
26 Tuna ayyaanay uraa daferethidi, waassidi iyappe keyis.
So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.
27 Asay ubbay malaalettidi, “Hayssi aybee? Ha uray ba maatan hari attoshin tuna ayyaanatakka kiittees. Entti iyaw kiitettosona; hayssi aybi ooratha timirtte?” gidi, bantta giddon issoy issuwa oychchidosona.
And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, "What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching--and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders and they obey him!"
28 Yesuusa sunthay ellesidi Galiila biittan de7iya heera ubban keyis.
And His fame spread at once everywhere in all that part of Galilee.
29 Yesuusi Ayhude Woosa Keethafe keyidi, Yayqoobaranne Yohaannisara Simoona soonne Inddiriyasa soo bis.
Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.
30 Simoona machche aayiya qoxo misha harggada zin77idaaro Yesuusi yaa gakkiya wode iyaw odidosona.
Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.
31 I iikko shiiqidi, I kushiya oykkidi, iyo denthi essis. Qoxoynne mishay aggin iya entta mokkasu.
So He went to her, and taking her hand He raised her to her feet: the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.
32 Harggida asa ubbaanne tuna ayyaanati oykkida asa ubbaa omarssi away wullidaappe guye, iyaakko ehidosona.
When it was evening, after sunset people came bringing Him all who were sick and the demoniacs;
33 Kataman de7iya asay ubbay he keetha kare shiiqidosona.
and the whole town was assembled at the door.
34 Yesuusi dumma dumma harggen oykettida daro asaa pathidi, daro tuna ayyaanata kessis. I ooneekko tuna ayyaanati erida gisho, entta odisonna diggis.
Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 Yesuusi wontta guura denddidi, asi baynna bessi bidi, yan Xoossaa woossis.
In the morning He rose early, while it was still quite dark, and leaving the house He went away to a solitary place and there prayed.
36 Simooninne iyara de7eyssati iya koyishe bidosona.
And Simon and the others searched everywhere for Him.
37 Entti iya demmidi, “Asay ubbay nena koyees” yaagidosona.
When they found Him they said, "Every one is looking for you."
38 Yesuusi qassi entta, “He heeran de7iya hara katamata yedhdhite. Taani yiday Wonggelaa odanaw gidiya gisho yankka qaala odanaw bessees” yaagis.
"Let us go elsewhere, to the neighbouring country towns," He replied, "that I may proclaim my Message there also; because for that purpose I came from God."
39 Ayhude Woosa Keethatan qaala odishenne tuna ayyaanata kessishe, Galiila biitta ubban yuuyis.
And He went through all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and expelling the demons.
40 Baroy oykkida issi uray Yesuusakko yidi, iya sinthan gulbbatidi, “Neeni koykko tana geeshshanaw dandda7aasa” yaagidi woossis.
One day there came a leper to Jesus entreating Him, and pleading on his knees. "If you are willing," he said, "you are able to cleanse me."
41 Yesuusi iyaw qadhettidi, ba kushiya yeddidi iya bochchidi, “Taani koyays, geeya” yaagis.
Moved with pity Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. "I am willing," He said; "be cleansed."
42 Sohuwara baroy uraa yeddin uray paxis.
The leprosy at once left him, and he was cleansed.
43 Yesuusi uraa minthi naagisidi kessi yeddis.
Jesus at once sent him away, strictly charging him,
44 Yesuusi iya, “Nena era, hayssa oodeskka odoppa. Shin bada ne asatethaa kahine bessa. Neeni ha77i geeshshi gididayssa asa erisanaw, Musey kiittida yarshshuwa yarshsha” yaagis.
and saying, "Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for them."
45 Shin uray bidi, guta ubban asa ubbaas odis. Hessa gisho, Yesuusi qoncce keyidi, katama gelanaw dandda7ibeenna. Shin asi baynnason gaxan de7is; qassi asay ubba bessafe iyaakko yoosona.
But the man, when he went out, began to tell every one and to publish the matter abroad, so that it was no longer possible for Jesus to go openly into any town; but He had to remain outside in unfrequented places, where people came to Him from all parts.
