1 Mmalite oziọma maka Jisọs Kraịst, Ọkpara Chineke.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Dịka e dere ya rịị nʼakwụkwọ Aịzaya onye amụma sị, “Aga m ezipu onyeozi m nʼihu gị, onye ga-edozi ụzọ gị.”
As has been written in the prophets; Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee;
3 “Otu onye na-eti mkpu nʼọzara, na-asị, ‘Dozienụ ụzọ maka Onyenwe anyị, meenụ ka okporoụzọ ya guzozie.’”
the voice of one roaring in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make His paths straight.
4 Jọn omee baptizim pụtara na-eme baptizim nʼọzara, ma na-ekwusa baptizim nke nchegharị maka mgbaghara mmehie.
John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness the baptism of repentance unto the remission of sins.
5 Ndị mmadụ si nʼakụkụ Judịa niile na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem pụrụ jekwuru ya. Ka ha na-ekwupụta mmehie ha, o mere ha baptizim nʼosimiri Jọdan.
And all the Judean country and the Jerusalemites were going out unto him, and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Uwe Jọn yi nʼahụ ya bụ nke e ji ajị ịnyịnya kamel mee. O kekwara ihe okike e ji akpụkpọ anụ mee nʼukwu ya. Nri ya bụ igurube na mmanụ aṅụ.
And John was clothed with camel's hair and a leathern girdle about his loins, and eating locusts and wild honey;
7 O kwusara sị: “Onye dị ike karịa m na-abịa nʼazụ m. Onye m na-erughị ihudata ala tọpụ eriri akpụkpọụkwụ ya.
And he proclaimed, saying, I indeed baptized you with water; but One cometh after me more powerful than I; the latchet of His sandals I am not worthy, having stooped down, to loose,
8 Eji m mmiri na-eme unu baptizim, ma ọ ga-eji Mmụọ Nsọ mee unu baptizim.”
and He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 Nʼoge ahụ, Jisọs sitere na Nazaret nke Galili bịa nʼosimiri Jọdan, ebe Jọn mere ya baptizim.
And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Ma mgbe o si nʼime mmiri ahụ na-apụta, ọ hụrụ ka eluigwe meghere. Hụkwa Mmụọ Nsọ dị ka nduru ka ọ rịdatara bekwasị ya nʼisi ya.
And coming up straightway from the water, He saw the heavens open and the Spirit like a dove descending on Him.
11 Otu olu si nʼeluigwe daa, “Ị bụ Ọkpara m hụrụ nʼanya, ihe gị dị m ezi mma.”
And there was a voice from the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I delight.
12 Ngwangwa, Mmụọ Nsọ duuru ya baa nʼime ọzara.
And immediately the Spirit casts Him out into the wilderness.
13 Ọ nọkwara nʼime ọzara ahụ iri ụbọchị anọ, ebe ekwensu nwara ya ọnwụnwa. Ya na ụmụ anụ ọhịa nọkwa. Ma ndị mmụọ ozi jeere ya ozi.
And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels continued to minister unto Him.
14 Mgbe e tinyesịrị Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, Jisọs gara na Galili, na-ekwusa oziọma Chineke.
After that John was cast into prison, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 Ọ sịrị, “Oge ahụ eruola, alaeze Chineke dị nso. Chegharịanụ ma kwerekwanụ nʼoziọma.”
and saying, That the time is fulfilled: the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Mgbe Jisọs na-aga nʼakụkụ osimiri Galili, ọ hụrụ Saimọn na Andru nwanne ya, ka ha na-awụnye ụgbụ ha nʼime mmiri nʼihi na ha bụ ndị ọkụ azụ.
And walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting their net in the sea: for they were fishers.
17 Jisọs siri ha, “Bịanụ soro m, m ga-emekwa unu ndị ọkụ na-akụta mmadụ.”
Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
18 Ngwangwa ha hapụrụ ụgbụ azụ ha ma soro ya.
And immediately, having left their nets, they followed Him.
19 Mgbe ọ gatụrụ nʼihu nke nta, ọ hụrụ Jemis nwa Zebedi na nwanne ya bụ Jọn ndị nọ nʼime ụgbọ mmiri, na-ekezi ụgbụ azụ ha.
And going forth thence a little, He saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, themselves also in a ship mending their nets,
20 Ngwangwa, ọ kpọrọ ha, ha hapụrụ nna ha Zebedi na ndị o goro ọrụ nʼime ụgbọ soro ya.
and immediately He called them. And having left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired hands, they departed after Him.
21 Ha gara Kapanọm, mgbe ụbọchị izuike ruru, ọ bara nʼime ụlọ ekpere ma malite izi ha ihe.
And they come into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath, He was teaching in the synagogue.
22 Ozizi ya juru ha anya nke ukwuu, nʼihi na o ziri ha ihe dịka onye nwere ikike, ọ bụghị dị ka nke ndị ozizi iwu.
And they were astonished at His teaching; for Ile was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Ma nʼotu oge ahụ, otu nwoke nọ nʼime ụlọ ekpere ahụ nke mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha bi nʼime ya, tiri mkpu nʼoke olu,
And there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 sị, “Gịnị ka anyị na gị nwekọrọ, gị Jisọs onye Nazaret? Ị bịala ịla anyị nʼiyi? Amaara m onye ị bụ, Onye Nsọ nke Chineke.”
saying, Let me alone; what is there to us and thee, thou Jesus, the Nazarene? You have come to destroy us; I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Ma Jisọs baara ya mba sị ya, “Mechie ọnụ sikwa nʼime ya pụta!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out from him.
26 Mmụọ ahụ na-adịghị ọcha seere ya, mee ka ahụ ya maa jijiji, o tiri mkpu nʼoke olu, ma sikwa nʼime ya pụta.
And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a great voice, came out from him.
27 Ha niile bụ ndị nọ nʼọnọdụ ihe iju anya ma na-ajụrịtara onwe ha ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị bụ nke a? Ozizi ọhụrụ ya na ikike! Ọ na-enye ọ bụladị mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha iwu. Ha na-erubekwara ya isi.”
And they were all astonished, so that they were inquiring one to another, saying, What is this? what new teaching is this? Because according to authority He commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him;
28 Akụkọ banyere ya gbasara ngwangwa ruo akụkụ niile nke Galili.
and His fame went out immediately into all the surrounding country of Galilee.
29 Ngwangwa ha hapụrụ ụlọ ekpere ahụ, ha na Jemis na Jọn soro banye nʼụlọ Saimọn na Andru.
And immediately, having come out from the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Nʼoge a, nne nwunye Saimọn dina nʼakwa ndina. Ahụ ọkụ jikwa ya. Ha mere ka ọ mata banyere ya.
And the mother-in-law of Simon was lying down burning with fever; and immediately they speak to Him concerning her:
31 Ọ gakwuru ya, jide ya nʼaka selite ya elu. Ahụ ọkụ ahụ hapụrụ ya. Ọ malitekwara ile ha ọbịa.
And having come to her, taking her by the hand, He raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she continued to minister unto them.
32 Nʼoge uhuruchi, mgbe anwụ dara, ha kpọtaara ya ndị niile ahụ na-esighị ike na ndị mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ha.
And it being evening, when the sun went down, they were carrying to Him all the sick and demonized;
33 Obodo ahụ niile gbakọrọ nʼọnụ ụzọ.
and the whole city was gathered to the door.
34 Ọ gwọrọ ọtụtụ ndị bu ọrịa dị iche iche, ọ chụpụkwara ọtụtụ mmụọ ọjọọ ma o kweghị ka mmụọ ọjọọ ndị ahụ kwuo okwu nʼihi na ha matara onye ọ bụ.
And He healed many who were afflicted with various diseases, and He cast out many demons; and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
35 Nʼisi ụtụtụ, mgbe ọchịchịrị ka gbachiri, o biliri, ga ebe ọ ga-anọrọ onwe ya, naanị ya. Nʼebe ahụ kwa ka ọ nọ kpee ekpere.
And in the morning, exceedingly early, while it was yet night, having arisen up He came out, and went away into a desert place, and was praying there.
36 Saimọn na ndị ya na ha nọ pụrụ na-achọgharị ya.
And Simon and those who were with him followed Him.
37 Ma mgbe ha hụrụ ya, ha sịrị ya, “Mmadụ niile na-achọgharị gị!”
And they found Him, and say to Him, All are seeking after thee.
38 Ọ zaghachiri ha sị, “Ka anyị gaanụ ebe ọzọ, nʼobodo ndị ọzọ dị anyị gburugburu, ka m zisakwaara ha oziọma. Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m ji bịa.”
And He says to them, Let us go into the surrounding villages and cities, that I may preach there; for unto this I have come out.
39 Ya mere, ọ pụrụ jegharịa na Galili niile na-ekwusa oziọma nʼụlọ ekpere ha niile, na-achụpụkwa mmụọ ọjọọ.
And He was preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out the demons.
40 Otu onye ekpenta bịakwutere ya gbuo ikpere nʼala rịọọ ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, ị pụrụ ime ka m dị ọcha.”
And a leper comes to Him, entreating Him, and bowing the knee to Him, and saying to Him, That if thou mayest be willing, thou art able to cleanse me.
41 Ebe o jupụtara nʼọmịiko, Jisọs setịpụrụ aka ya metụ ya sị, “Achọrọ m, dị ọcha!”
And Jesus being moved with compassion, reaching forth His hand, touched him, and says to him, I will; be thou cleansed.
42 Ngwangwa ekpenta ya hapụrụ ya, e mekwara ka ọ dị ọcha.
And He speaking, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Mgbe ahụ, Jisọs ji ịdọ aka na ntị zilaga ya,
And charging him, He immediately sent him away,
44 ọ gwara ya sị, “Hụkwa na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ị ga-agwa ihe a. Kama gaa gosi onye nchụaja onwe gị. Chụọkwa aja dị ka Mosis nyere nʼiwu, maka ime ka ị dị ọcha gị, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nye ha.”
and says to him, See that you may speak nothing to any one: but go, show thyself unto the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45 Ma ọ pụrụ malite ịkọsa akụkọ banyere ọgwụgwọ ya ebe niile. Nʼihi ya Jisọs enwekwaghị ike ịbanye nʼobodo, kama ọ gara nọrọ nʼebe zoro ezo. Ma ndị mmadụ na-abịakwutekwa ya site nʼebe niile dị iche iche.
And he having gone out, began to proclaim many things, and to publish abroad the word, so that He was no longer able openly to come into the city, but was out in desert places: and they continued to come to Him from all directions.
