John came baptising in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 Jude dogu nni yaaba leni yaaba n ye Jelusalema kuli den kpenda o kani ki doagidi bi tuonbiadi ki cedi ke o batisi ba Judana kpenu nni.
All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptised by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
6 Jan den yie ti yuoyuokobidi ki luo ku gbanñagigu o den di i gbangbanli leni ti siadi.
John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
7 O den maadi ki tua: nitoa hua n puoli yua n pia u paalu ki cie nni mii pundi ba yua n ba lodi opo o cacaabaabu.
He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 Mini n batisi yi leni mi ñima ama wani o baa batisi yi leni U Tienu fuoma yua.
I baptised you in water, but he will baptise you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 Laa yogunu Jesu den ñani Nasaleti ki gedi Galile ke Jan batisi o Judana kpenu nni; wan den ña mi ñima yaa yogunu tanpoli den luodi ke
In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John in the Jordan.
10 U Tienu fuoma den jiidi opo nani ki kpaajiega
Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
12 Lanyogunu U Tienu fuoma yua den gedini Jesu mi fanpienma nni
Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
13 wan den tieni naani dana piina ke Sutaani den tulini o, o den ye leni ti fuayandi malekinba den tuuni opo.
He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
14 Ban den cuo jan Jesu den galile ki ban wangi U Tienu laabaalihamo.
Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
15 O den tua: u yogunu pundi U Tienu diema nagini lebidi mani yi pala ki daani o laabaalihamo.
and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
16 Nani Jesu n den pendi Galile kpenu kani, o den la Simono leni o waalo Andile ke bi lu bi taalu mi ñima nni kelima bi den tie jankpaanla,
Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Jesu den yedi ba ŋoadi mani nni n baa teni moala liiga yin yaa ji lingi npo bi niba;
Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
18 lanyogunu bi den ŋa bi taali ki ŋoadi o.
Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
19 Wan den suagi liiga waamu o den la jaka leni sebede bijua leni o waalo jan ke bani moko ŋanbidi bi taalu.
Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20 Lan yogunu Jesu den yini ba ke bi ŋa bi ba sebede leni bi naacenba ku ñinbiagu nni ki hoadi o.
Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Bi den gedi kapenayuma U Tienu fuodima daali Jesu den kua li balimaama bangidieli nni ki bangi
They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 o bangima den cuo bi pala kelima o den bangi leni li bali kaa ta leni li balimaama bangikaaba.
They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Li den sua ke li balimaama bangi dieli nni pia ya nilo n pia ki cicibiadiga ke o kpaani ki tua:
Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 be n ye tinba leni fini siiga Nasaleti yua Jesu n bani han tie yua a cua ki ba bolini ti a tie U Tienu n gandi yua.
saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
25 Jesu den funi leni ga ki yedi o: suo ki ña o joa ne niinni;
Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
26 ki den digibi leni u paalu leni ku fuciangu ki ñani o joa yeni niini.
The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Ti jawaaciandi den cuo bi kuli hali ke bi buali bi yaba be mo n yeni bangi canme kelima o maadi leni a cicibiada leni li bali ke bi tuodi ki tiendi wan yedi yaala.
They were all amazed, so that they questioned amongst themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 Lanyogunu o laabaalo den pundi galile gaanilindima kuli.
The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
29 Ban den ñani U Tienu diegu nni wan leni Jaka leni Jan den gedi Simono leni Andile denpo.
Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Simono cuadina den dua leni ti gbannanbiendi lanyogunu bi den maadi Jesu o maama
Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
31 o den nagini o kani ki cuo o buagu ki fiini o, lanyogunu o gbannanbiendi den gbeni ke o ga bi cangu.
He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.
32 Ku yenjuagu ki yenga n den kua ya yagunu, bi den cuani Jesu kani a yiama leni o cicibiada n ye yaaba yaa niinni kuli.
At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
33 U dogu nni yaaba kuli den taani Simono buliñoabu kani.
All the city was gathered together at the door.
34 O den paagi bi niba boncianla yaaba n den pia yianbuolibuoli o go den deli a cicibiada ban ye yaaba ya niinni. waa den tuodi ke mu cicibiadimu maadi kelima mu den bani wan tie yua.
He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 Lan den goa a yenda po, lan da den biigi ya yogunu Jesu den ñani ki gedi mi fanpienma po wan den jaandi naani.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
36 Simono leni yaaba n den ye leni o kuli den cili ki lingi o.
Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
37 Ban den ban la o, bi den yedi o bi niba kuli lingi a.
They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 Jesu den yedi ba tin gedi mani i tinkundogi nni min ban waani bani moko o laabaali hamo kelima n ñani li yaa po yo.
He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
39 O den goadi Galile diema nni kuli, ki koa li balimaama bangi diena nni ki wangi U Tienu maama, ki go deli a cicibiada.
He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
40 O kpaado den cua Jesu kani ki gbaani ki mia o ki yedi o: a yaa bua a baa fidi ki hanbi nni.
A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
41 Mi niŋima den cuo Jesu opo ke o tandi o nu ki sii o ki yedi: N bua hanbi.
Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
42 Lanyogunu mi gbaadima den gbeni opo ke o ŋanbi.
When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
43 Jesu den maadi o leni li bali ki yedi: ŋan kubi a yuli ki da waani niloba yaala n tieni
He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
44 ama ŋan gedi o kopadiciamo po ki ban padi a ŋanbima po nani Musa n den diani maama lan tua bi po seedi.
and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
45 Ama laa joa n den gedi o den ban kpaani laa bonla ŋali maama ke Jesu kan den fidi ki kua laa dogu nni bi niba n nua o yaa yogunu. O den ye niini po mi fanpienma nni bi niba den ña i kaani kuli ki kpendi o kani.
But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.
