1 Mmalite oziọma maka Jisọs Kraịst, Ọkpara Chineke.
A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, 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 it has been written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.
3 “Otu onye na-eti mkpu nʼọzara, na-asị, ‘Dozienụ ụzọ maka Onyenwe anyị, meenụ ka okporoụzọ ya guzozie.’”
A voice of one calling in the wilderness: Prepare 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 came immersing in the wilderness, and proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness 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 there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all immersed 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 girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
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, “He comes—who is mightier than I—after me, of whom I am not worthy—having stooped down—to loose the strap of His sandals;
8 Eji m mmiri na-eme unu baptizim, ma ọ ga-eji Mmụọ Nsọ mee unu baptizim.”
I indeed immersed you in water, but He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.”
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 immersed 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 immediately coming up from the water, He saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit coming down on Him as a dove;
11 Otu olu si nʼeluigwe daa, “Ị bụ Ọkpara m hụrụ nʼanya, ihe gị dị m ezi mma.”
and a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted.”
12 Ngwangwa, Mmụọ Nsọ duuru ya baa nʼime ọzara.
And immediately the Spirit puts Him forth 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 there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan, and He was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to Him.
14 Mgbe e tinyesịrị Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, Jisọs gara na Galili, na-ekwusa oziọma Chineke.
And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God,
15 Ọ sịrị, “Oge ahụ eruola, alaeze Chineke dị nso. Chegharịanụ ma kwerekwanụ nʼoziọma.”
and saying, “The time has been fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has come near, convert and believe in the good news.”
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 his brother Andrew, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
17 Jisọs siri ha, “Bịanụ soro m, m ga-emekwa unu ndị ọkụ na-akụta mmadụ.”
and Jesus said to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you to become 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 having gone on there a little, He saw James of Zebedee, and his brother John, and they were in the boat refitting the 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 boat with the hired servants, they went away after Him.
21 Ha gara Kapanọm, mgbe ụbọchị izuike ruru, ọ bara nʼime ụlọ ekpere ma malite izi ha ihe.
And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, He was teaching,
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 He was teaching them as 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 in their synagogue a man 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, “What [regards] us and You, Jesus the Nazarene? You came to destroy us; I have known You, who You are—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 silenced, and come forth out of 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 having convulsed him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of 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 amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching [is] this? That with authority He also commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 Akụkọ banyere ya gbasara ngwangwa ruo akụkụ niile nke Galili.
And the fame of Him went forth immediately to all the region of Galilee.
29 Ngwangwa ha hapụrụ ụlọ ekpere ahụ, ha na Jemis na Jọn soro banye nʼụlọ Saimọn na Andru.
And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went 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 fevered, and immediately they tell Him about her,
31 Ọ gakwuru ya, jide ya nʼaka selite ya elu. Ahụ ọkụ ahụ hapụrụ ya. Ọ malitekwara ile ha ọbịa.
and having come near, He raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
32 Nʼoge uhuruchi, mgbe anwụ dara, ha kpọtaara ya ndị niile ahụ na-esighị ike na ndị mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ha.
And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to Him all who were ill and who were demoniacs,
33 Obodo ahụ niile gbakọrọ nʼọnụ ụzọ.
and the whole city was gathered together near 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 ill of manifold diseases, and He cast forth many demons, and was not permitting 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 very early, it being yet night, having risen, He went forth, and went away to a desolate place, and was praying there;
36 Saimọn na ndị ya na ha nọ pụrụ na-achọgharị ya.
and Simon and those with him went in quest of Him,
37 Ma mgbe ha hụrụ ya, ha sịrị ya, “Mmadụ niile na-achọgharị gị!”
and having found Him, they say to Him, “All seek You”;
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, “We may go into the next towns, that there also I may preach, for—for this I came forth.”
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 is 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 there comes to Him a leper, calling on Him, and kneeling to Him, and saying to Him, “If You may will, You are able to cleanse me.”
41 Ebe o jupụtara nʼọmịiko, Jisọs setịpụrụ aka ya metụ ya sị, “Achọrọ m, dị ọcha!”
And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him and says to him, “I will, be cleansed”;
42 Ngwangwa ekpenta ya hapụrụ ya, e mekwara ka ọ dị ọcha.
and He having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Mgbe ahụ, Jisọs ji ịdọ aka na ntị zilaga ya,
And having sternly charged him, immediately He put him forth,
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 say nothing to anyone, but go away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to 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 forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread the thing abroad, so that He was no longer able to openly enter into the city, but He was outside in desolate places, and they were coming to Him from every quarter.
