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.

Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,

“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]?)

Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”

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 Anama hiazamofo agenkemo'a maka Galili kaziga ame huno vuno eno hu'ne.

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 Hagi kotu hanimpi Jisasi'a ana nompinti atiramino vuno vahe omani'afi umani'neno, anantega nunamu hu'ne.

“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 Anage huno Agra kenona zamirera zamasmi'ne, Erinketa tava'onte'ma me'nea kumatamimpi vuta, anantega mono kea huama haneno. Na'ankure Nagra e'ina agafare e'noe.
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!”

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].

[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 Higeno Jisasi'a asunku hunenteno, azana asuteno avako nehuno anage hu'ne, Nagri'ma navesiana knare huo! Higeno,
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 ana fugo namumo'a ame huno vagarentegeno agru hu'ne.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 Hanki Jisasi'a amazama hugantoazankura vahera ozamasamio huno hanave avumro nenteno, ame huno hunenteno,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 Kama antahio, ama'nazama hugantoa zankura mago'mofona osamitfa huo. Hianagi pristi nete vunka kavufga ome averi hugeno keno. Anante Mosese'ma ko'ma huno kazeri agrumahu ofa ome hugahane hu'nea kante ome hugeno, veamo'za nege'za hago agru hu'ne hu'za hiho.
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 Hianagi ana ne'mo nevuno, kri'ama azeri knamare neazankura vahepi huama nehige'za, rama'a vahe'mo'za nentahizageno, ana kemo'a ra hiazanku, rankumapina Jisasi'a eamara huno omeno, megia rama'a vahera omani'naza kumapi umaninege'za rama'a vahe'mo'za anantega eme ke'naze.
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.
