1 O KA mua o ka euanelio no Iesu Kristo, ke Keiki a ke Akua;
([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].
2 E like me ia i palapalaia e ke kaula, e Isaia, Aia hoi, ke hoouna aku nei au i ko'u elele mamua o kou alo, nana no e hoomakaukau i kou alanui mamua ou.
3 Ka leo o ka mea e kala ana ma ka waonahele, E hoomakaukau oukou i ke alanui no ka Haku, e hana i kona mau kuamoo, i pololei.
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].”
4 Bapetizo ae la o Ioane ma ka waonahele, me ke ao mai i ka bapetizo ana no ka mihi, i mea e kalaia mai ai ka hala.
[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].”
5 Hele aku la io na la ko ka aina a pau o Iudea, a me ko Ierusalema a pau, a bapetizoia iho la lakou e ia iloko o ka muliwai o Ioredane, me ka hai ana mai i ko lakou hewa.
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.
6 Ua aahuia o loane i ke kapa hulu kamelo, a he kaei ili ma kona puhaka; a he uhini kana ai, a me ka meli o ka nahelehele.
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.
7 Ao mai la ia, i mai la, E hele mai ana kekahi mahope nei o'u, ua oi aku ia mamua o'u, aole au e pono ke kulou iho, e wehe i ke kaula o kona mau kamaa.
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.
8 Ua bapetizo aku no wau ia oukou i ka wai; aka, nana oukou e bapetizo aku i ka Uhane Hemolele.
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].”
9 Eia kekahi, ia mau la, hele mai la o Iesu, mai Nazareta o Galilaia mai, a bapetizoia iho la ia e Ioane iloko o Ioredane.
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].
10 A i kona pii koke ana, mai ka wai mai, ike aku la ia i na lani, ua hamama, a i ka Uhane me he manu nunu la e iho mai ana maluna ona.
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.
11 A pae mai la ka leo, mai ka lani mai, O oe no ka'u Keiki punahele, ka mea a'u i lealea nui aku ai.
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Ia wa iho, kipaku ae la ka Uhane ia ia i ka waonahele.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 Malaila no ia ma ka waonahele, hookahi kanaha la i hoowalewaleia mai e Satana, mawaena o na holoholona hihiu; a malama mai na anela ia ia.
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.
14 Mah ope iho o ka paa ana o Ioane iloko o ka halepaahao, hele mai la Iesu i Galilaia, me ka hai ana mai i ka euanelio no ke aupuni o ke Akua;
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.
15 I mai la, Ua hiki mai nei ka manawa, ua kokoke mai nei ke aupuni o ke Akua. E mihi oukou a e manaoio i ka euanelio.
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])!”
16 I kona hele ana ae mai ka moanawai o Galilaia, ike mai la oia ia Simona, a me kona kaikaina, o Anederea, e kuu ana i ka upena ma ka moanawai; no ka mea, he mau lawaia laua.
[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.
17 I mai la Iesu ia laua, E hahai olua mamuli o'u, a e hoolilo wau ia olua i mau lawaia kanaka.
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].
18 Haalele koke iho la laua i ka laua mau upena, a hahai aku la ia ia.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 A hele iki ae la ia, ike mai la oia ia Iakobo a Zebedaio, a me kona kaikaina o Ioane, iluna pu laua o ka moku e hono ana i na upena.
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.
20 Kahea koke mai la ia laua; a haalele iho la laua i ko laua makuakane, ia Zebedaio, iluna o ka moku, me na kanaka paaua, a hahai aku la laua ia ia.
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.
21 Hele ae la lakou i Kaperenauma, komo koke ae la ia iloko o ka halehalawai i ka la Sabati, a ao mai la.
[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].
22 Mahalo iho la lakou i kana ao ana, no ka mea, ao mai la oia ia lakou, me he mea mana la, aole like me ka poe kakauolelo.
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.
23 A maloko o ko lakou halehalawai kekahi kanaka i loohia e ka uhane ino, a walaau ae la ia;
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 I ae la, Ea, heaha kau ia makou, e Iesu no Nazereta? I hele mai nei anei oe e luku mai ia makou? Ua ike no au ia oe; o oe no ka mea hoano a ke Akua.
“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!”
25 Papa ae la Iesu ia ia, i ae la, Hamau, e puka mai oe iwaho ona.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 Hookaawili iho la ka uhane ino ia ia, walaau ae la ia me ka leo nui, a paka mai la ia iwaho ona.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 Mahalo aku la lakou a pau, nolaila, nalu lakou ia lakou iho no, i ae la, Heaha la keia? Heaha la hoi keia ao hou ana? No ka mea, me ka leo mana no oia e kauoha aku nei i na uhane ino, a hoolohe io aku no lakou ia ia.
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]!”
28 Kui koke aku la kona kaulana ma na mokuna a pau o Galilaia.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 I ko lakou puka ana iwaho o ka halehalawai, komo koke ae la lakou me Iakobo, a me Ioane iloko o ka hale o Simona laua o Anederea,
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.
30 E moe ana ka makuahunoaiwnhine o Simona, i ka mai kuni; a hai koke ae la lakou ia Iesu nona.
Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
31 Alaila, hele mai la ia, lalau iho la i kona lima, hoala mai la ia ia; a haalele koke iho la ke kuni ia ia, a lawelawe ae la ia na lakou.
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].
32 A ahiahi ae la, i ke komo ana a ka la, halihali mai la lakou io na la i na mea a pau i loohia i ka mai a me na daimonio.
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.
33 Akoakoa mai la ko ke kulanakauhale a pau ma ka ipuka.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 He nui na mea mai ana i hoola mai ai, na mea i loohia i kela mai, i keia mai, a nui no hoi na daimonio ana i mahiki aku ai; aole ia i ae mai ia lakou e olelo iki ae, no ka mea, ua ike lakou ia ia.
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].
35 A i ka pili o ke ao ae, i ka wa poeleele, ala ae la ia, hele aku la iwaho, a hiki i kahi mehameha, ilaila oia i pule ai.
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.
36 A hahai aku la o Simona ia ia a me ka poe me ia pu.
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,
37 A loaa mai la oia ia lakou, i aku la lakou ia ia, Ke imi nei na kanaka a pau ia oe.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 I mai la oia ia lakou, E hele kakou ma kela mau kulanakauhale, e ao aku ai au malaila. O ko'u mea ia i hele mai ai iwaho nei.
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!”
39 A ao mai la ia ma ko lakou halehalawai ma Galilaia a pau, a mahiki aka la hoi i na daimonio.
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].
40 Hele aku la kekahi mai lepera io na la, kukuli iho la, nonoi aku ia ia, i aka la, Ina makemake oe, e hiki no ia oe ke huikala mai ia'u.
[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!”
41 Haehae ae la ko Iesu aloha, o aku la kona lima, a hoopa aku la ia ia, i ae la, Ua makemake au, e huikalala oe.
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]!”
42 A i kana olelo ana, haalele koke aku la ka lepera ia ia, a huikalaia oia.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Kauoha ikaika aku la Iesu ia ia, alaila, kuu iho la.
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 I aku la ia ia, E ao oe, mai hai iki aku i kekahi; aka, e hele aku oe e hoike aku ia oe iho i ke kahuna, a e mohai aku no kou huikalaia i ka mea a Mose i kauoha mai ai, i mea e ike ai lakou.
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].”
45 A hiki aku ua kanaka la iwaho, hoolaha ae la ia, a hookaulana loa ia mea, nolaila, i ole ai e hiki ia Iesu ke komo maopopo iloko o ke kulanakauhale, iwaho aku no ia i na wahi mehameha; a hele aku la ko kela wahi, ko keia wahi io na la.
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.
