Mak 1
1 Mban ya imbɨr Jisas Kraisɨnd, ndɨn Yakŋ Ohɨrand Nor. Ya hamb mbanave ahevakarɨmar.
The beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ.
2 Eŋambɨr han Aisaiav, wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya injambɨr ahe kahɨnd hamb mbɨ mbanave mpamar. Ndɨh wan amar. Nzɨ kaŋ ihɨnd wɨram ya hɨrandand hamb mboz injore ondari amar. Mbɨ mboz we nandɨv empasam osarɨndari amar.
It is said in the prophet Isaiah – “I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way.
3 Mbɨ isupɨr wɨram mah haŋ itɨkɨrɨm aware kandari amar. Anɨŋnsar Ohɨrandɨv empasam osarɨvar arar kandari amar. Ndɨndɨv empasam impumpɨr ohɨra akŋ han omanenta sɨvar arar kandari amar.
The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the road for the Lord, make a straight path for him.’”
4 Mach, Jonɨmb isupɨr wɨram mah handɨh ahevakarɨmar. Ahevakare osa anchɨ han ya mbanave sɨkah omar. Amɨ mpɨ itɨmaimŋgɨn nzɨ andɨŋ yambɨŋ ŋazɨkŋirɨŋgwɨŋgw ŋambiahaŋ, Yakŋ Ohɨrav amandɨŋ enta kɨvah han usɨndari amar.
John the Baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism on repentance, for the forgiveness of sins.
5 Mach, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ isupɨr Judiand aiampɨra Jerusalemɨnd hamb Jonɨnd pɨŋ ai, mbɨndɨŋ enta kɨvah sɨmŋganj han injambɨr ahah kamŋgɨmar. Kamŋgɨz mach raz, Jonɨmb ndɨŋ yamb Jordan handɨh ŋazɨkŋirɨŋgwɨŋgw ŋambiahah omar.
The whole of Judea, as well as all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, went out to him; and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 Jonɨmb yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr kamelɨnd ndɨ han hɨranj. Mbɨ orɨham uŋkɨruŋgɨr han mɨra ohɨrand upɨrɨŋ uŋkɨranj. Unsa mbɨkɨr han etameram akaraŋk antand, mbɨ han nanj.
John wore clothes made of camels’ hair, with a leather strap round his waist, and lived on locusts and wild honey;
7 Mach, mbɨ ya eŋgwe kamar. Wɨram emŋga hamb ihɨnd mapɨŋ aindari amar. Ndɨn wɨram ohɨra aŋkarɨpɨrnsɨnd, mbɨ yan epari amar. Yan wɨram imbɨm amar. Nzɨ andamesa mpɨrorɨzɨŋgwi nzɨhanave mɨrupɨr mbɨkɨr han inɨmbɨmɨñ amar.
and he proclaimed – ‘After me is coming someone more powerful than I am, and I am not fit even to stoop down and unfasten his sandals.
8 Nzɨ andɨŋ yamb imbɨmun ŋazɨkŋirɨŋgwɨŋgw ŋambiahajin amar. Mbɨp Kɨpɨr Imbɨr Yakŋ Ohɨrand han kaz ŋkai andɨŋ ŋgwevondari amar.
I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’
9 Mach, haŋonaŋg Jisasɨv aiampɨra mbɨkɨr Nasaret, isupɨr Galilind haŋ erere avɨhomar. Avɨhoz Jonɨmb ndɨn yamb Jordanɨŋ ŋazɨkŋirɨŋgwi ŋambiahamar.
Now about that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Ŋambiahazand sɨhawarohe waz rakav kɨrɨm ŋenduwamar. Ŋenduwazand Kɨpɨr Imbɨr Yakŋ Ohɨrand hamb apa ikŋɨŋgwɨm emamp ipɨndahe ndɨnɨŋ ŋkaimar.
Just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Spirit coming down to him like a dove,
11 Az Yakŋ Ohɨrav mbɨkɨr Aiampɨra Ohɨra Ñaŋ handɨh ñi kamar. Nan ihɨnd Nor amar. Nzɨ nandɨvon rin amar. Ihɨnd mpɨ hamb nandɨv imbɨrpamun ñi amar.
and from the heavens came a voice – ‘You are my dearly loved son; you bring me great joy.’
12 Mach, haŋonaŋg Kɨpɨr Imbɨr Yakŋ Ohɨrand hamb Jisasɨh ke mpimbi ŋavɨzuz isupɨr wɨram mah handɨh omar.
Immediately afterwards the Spirit drove Jesus out into the wilderness;
13 We yuŋk undɨmajɨvam ohɨra ñɨz ñɨzand Satanɨmb ndɨnɨh mbɨŋgɨr eŋgwanj. Mbɨŋgɨr eŋgwazand, Jisasɨv mɨroyam antandmen ñɨzand, Yakŋ Ohɨrand mapɨŋ akŋ hamb ndɨn pɨrasɨmŋganj.
and he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts, while the angels helped him.
14 Mach, Herotɨv Jonɨh oram kɨvahɨŋ ŋgame inchakarɨz ñɨzand, Jisasɨv erai isupɨr Galilind handɨh ahevakarɨmar. Ahevakare Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya imbɨr han hɨro hɨrai eŋgwanj.
After John had been arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God –
15 Ave mbɨ mbanave kanj. Yuŋk Yakŋ Ohɨrav ŋgamɨmar hamb ndɨh ahevakari aranj. Yuŋk Yakŋ Ohɨrav osa anchɨ hanaveaŋg ŋɨmbɨz mbɨkɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi kehamb ikwɨm ndɨh ivivmbɨri aranj. Amɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya imbɨr mban njɨhame mpɨ itɨmai njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhambar aranj.
‘The time has come, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the good news.’
16 Mach ave, Jisasɨv yamb ohɨra ondɨhondɨh Galilind ampaŋam omar. We nde waz Saimonɨmb ranɨr Andrumen mbɨndɨŋ añaŋan han avɨzɨŋgwɨŋgw ñɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨndɨŋ ntɨŋ han oma ŋaŋɨndɨvam.
As Jesus was going along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Az Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Amɨ ai yan mpehɨraivar amar. Aimŋgɨn nzɨ andɨŋ wɨram hanave ŋɨmbɨmb han mbɨramɨŋ amar.
‘Come and follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will teach you to fish for people.’
18 Avɨz mach, pams haŋon ŋondɨrahe mbɨndɨŋ añaŋan akŋ han erere ndɨn kɨrɨm mpehɨromŋgɨmar.
They left their nets at once, and followed him.
19 Mach, mbɨ sɨwaŋkw sɨwaŋkw re waz Sebedind nor kɨra undɨmaj hamb Jemsɨnd Jonɨnd utɨŋg unchaŋ ñɨhɨri mbɨndɨŋ añaŋan akŋ han omanenta sɨz ñɨmŋgɨmar.
Going on a little further, he saw James, Zebedee’s son, and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets.
20 Ñɨmŋgɨzand Jisasɨv ndɨŋ oreŋgɨmar. Oreŋgɨz, mbɨ ŋondɨrahe wanɨr mbɨndɨŋ Sebedih erere etomŋgɨmar. Sebediv mbɨkɨr wɨram kɨra ntɨŋɨndɨmen utɨŋg unchaŋ ñɨmŋgɨzand, undɨmaj hamb ŋondɨrahe Jisasɨh kɨrɨm mpehɨromŋgɨmar.
Jesus called them at once, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the crew, and went after him.
21 Mach, Jisasɨv sezɨrmen aiampɨra Kaperneam handɨh omŋgɨmar. Omŋgɨz wer Yakŋ Ohɨrand Yuŋk Wɨr Ñɨñɨnd hamb ahevakarɨz, Jisasɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨŋ ahevohe ya sɨkanj.
They walked to Capernaum. On the next Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.
22 Wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd kehamb, mbɨ njɨhi wɨram emŋgand ŋe osa anchɨ han sɨkamŋganj. Jisasɨp, mbɨ nend. Mbɨ mbɨkɨrun njɨhiŋam ŋe wɨram ensansɨnd emamp sɨkanj. Handɨv wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb Jisasɨnd ya han njɨhamam ntamŋganj.
The people were amazed at his teaching, for he taught them like one who had authority, and not like the teachers of the Law.
23 Mach, yuŋk emŋga haŋ Jisasɨv ya sɨkazand wɨram itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd hamb mbɨndɨŋ Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨŋ ñɨmar. Avɨz itɨ kɨvah mbanamb aware kamar.
Now there was in their synagogue at the time a man under the power of a foul spirit, who called out,
24 Jisas, nan wɨram Nasaretɨnd amar. Amɨ arɨŋ utɨ sɨŋɨn are ain amar. Ave arɨŋ mɨŋam kiaŋgworaŋgwi kɨvah sɨŋɨn are ain oh a amar. Nzɨ nan ndɨh wajin amar. Nan wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrav kaz aimandɨn hamb amar.
‘What do you want with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One of God!’
25 Hanave kaz, Jisasɨv itɨ kɨvah mban ya aŋkarɨpɨr ke kamar. Amɨ ya erere wɨram mban etov amar.
But Jesus rebuked the spirit, ‘Be silent! Come out from him.’
26 Mach, Jisasɨv hanave kaz, itɨ kɨvah mbanamb raz wɨram mbanamb nte kɨrɨm ntahorɨmar. Ntahorɨzand itɨ kɨvah hamb itɨkɨrɨmun aware kɨrɨm enduwaŋgɨŋgamar.
The foul spirit threw the man into a fit, and with a loud cry came out from him.
27 Mach az, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb wamŋgɨz, ndɨŋ zɨŋɨmb pɨrorɨŋgaz mbon ya mbon ya ke kamŋgɨmar. Mban utɨman ya arɨmŋgɨmar. Wɨram mbanamb ya icha toh ki arɨmŋgɨmar. Ave mbɨ ya han wɨram ensansɨnd emamp kazand itɨ kɨvah hamb mbɨkɨr ya njɨhamŋgɨj arɨmŋgɨmar.
They were all so amazed that they kept asking each other, ‘What is this? What is this, a new kind of teaching? He gives his commands with authority even to the foul spirits, and they obey him!’
28 Avɨz pams haŋon, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ isupɨr Galilind hamb Jisasɨndɨv ya kɨrɨm hɨro hɨrai kamŋgɨmar.
His fame spread at once in all directions, through the whole region of Galilee.
29 Mach ave, Jisasɨv Jemsmen Jonmen Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨŋ ñɨhɨri ahevetai Saimonɨnd Andrund oramɨŋ omŋgɨmar.
As soon as they had left the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
30 Saimonɨnd mɨŋɨr anchɨndɨrɨh mbɨkɨr yupɨr hamb pɨr ohɨra ñɨzand, antɨm mbɨkɨr handɨh ŋgañɨmar. Az Jisasɨh mahoror mbɨkɨr handɨv kamŋgɨmar.
Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying ill with a fever, and they at once told Jesus about her.
31 Kamŋgɨz we omanampɨra mbɨkɨr han ŋe ndɨn ŋambiahamar. Ndɨn ŋambiahaz mach, yupɨr mbɨkɨr hamb kɨrɨm imi ŋamar. Az ndɨŋ hɨrawi unsa eŋkwanamar.
Jesus went up to her and, grasping her hand, raised her up; the fever left her, and she began to take care of them.
32 Mach, rapɨrɨv ŋkwuhi zuh razand, mbɨ osa anchɨ hamb wɨram mahororɨnsɨnd han, itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd hanez mɨŋam ŋɨmbi Jisasɨnd pɨŋ hɨraimŋgɨmar.
In the evening, after sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who were ill or possessed by demons;
33 Osa anchɨ aiampɨraŋ ñɨmŋgɨmar kehamb mɨŋam ai oram impikŋ handɨh aŋkwezawi ñɨmŋgɨmar.
and the whole city was gathered round the door.
34 Avɨz Jisasɨv wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ mahoror endɨraparamnsɨnd han omanenta si, mach itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd kehan itɨ kɨvah han mɨŋam kiaŋgworaŋgwɨmar. Itɨ kɨvah hamb Jisasɨh ndɨh wamŋganj. Ave ndɨn injambɨr ahamŋgɨmɨnj are ndɨŋ erokare kamar. Amɨ yaya kamŋgɨmɨn amar.
Jesus cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons, and would not permit them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.
35 Mach, Jisasɨv mband zuhun ŋaiahe ahevai isupɨr wɨram mah handɨh we Yakŋ Ohɨra ahaz oror ñɨmar.
In the morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and went out to a lonely spot, where he began to pray.
36 We ñɨzand Saimonɨmb wɨram emŋgemŋgamen Jisasɨh kɨrahɨr omŋgɨmar.
But Simon and his companions went out searching for him;
37 We ndɨn we kamŋgɨmar. Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb nan kɨramŋgɨmbɨri arɨmŋgɨmar.
and, when they found him, they exclaimed, ‘Everyone is looking for you!’
38 Az Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Aimŋgɨn aiampɨra emŋgemŋga ikwɨm ikwɨm ñɨmŋgi mbanaŋ om amar. Nzɨ wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ ya eŋgwaŋɨn are ondarin amar. Nzɨ ntɨŋ handɨvon aindaiyin amar.
But Jesus said to them, ‘Let us go somewhere else, into the country towns nearby so that I can make my proclamation in them also; for that was why I came.’
39 Mach ave, mbɨ aiampɨra emŋgemŋga Galilind handɨh we ñi mbɨndɨŋ Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oram unchaŋ ya eŋgweŋgw ndanj. Ave osa anchɨ itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd kehan itɨ kɨvah han kiaŋgworaŋgw ndanj.
And he went about making his proclamation in their synagogues all through Galilee, and driving out the demons.
40 Mach ave, wɨram usɨ aŋkarɨpɨr yupɨr okaŋgaŋgɨnsɨnd hamb Jisasɨnd pɨŋ ai andamesa mpɨrorɨzɨŋgwi ŋgwañ ekeh akŋɨn ŋaŋ kamar. Amɨ yan akŋɨn ñɨŋan han, kan ihɨnd usɨ kɨvah aŋkarɨpɨr hamb kwevɨrɨz amar.
One day a leper came to Jesus and, falling on his knees, begged him for help. ‘If only you are willing,’ he said, ‘you are able to make me clean.’
41 Hanave kaz, Jisasɨv ndɨn akŋɨn ñi omanaka ndɨn insɨŋ ŋgame kamar. Nzɨ nan akŋɨn ñi nan ndɨh omanenta sin amar.
Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’
42 Mach, Jisasɨv hanave kaz, yupɨr mbɨkɨr hamb pams haŋon omanenta ñɨz, wɨram mbanamb kɨrɨm imbɨr ramar.
Instantly the leprosy left the man, and he became clean;
43 Avɨz Jisasɨv wɨram mban kamar. Amɨ ov amar. We yupɨr amakɨr han wɨram hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd pɨŋ hɨrohe mbɨramɨn waz amar. Mosesɨv kamar amar. Wɨram usɨ aŋkarɨpɨr yupɨr okaŋgaŋgɨnsɨnd hamb, yupɨr mbɨkɨr hamb omanenta ñɨŋɨnj han, mbɨ mɨrunsa ŋe Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamɨz arar kamar amar. Amɨ we hanavɨv amar. Amɨ hanavɨn, wɨram kɨra hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd hamb we kandɨramŋgi amar. Yupɨr amakɨr hamb ndɨh omanenta ñi arar kandɨramŋgi amar. Mach, Jisasɨv hanave ke wɨram mban aŋkarɨpɨr erokare kamar. Ndɨh wan amar. Amɨ wɨram emŋga kamɨn amar.
and then Jesus, after sternly warning him, immediately sent him away,
and said to him, ‘Be careful not to say anything to anyone; but go and show yourself to the priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.’
45 Az nend. Wɨram mbanamb ya Jisasɨv utuhutuh sɨmar han hɨro hɨrai kɨrɨm kamar. Handɨv Jisasɨv wɨram akŋɨnd ampɨn insɨŋ nzɨhanave aiampɨraŋ ŋgwevomɨr. Nend, mbɨ isupɨr wɨram mah haŋ ñɨzand wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ aiampɨra emŋgemŋgand kehamb ndɨn pɨŋ aimŋgɨmar.
The man, however, went away, and began to speak about it publicly, and to spread the story so widely, that Jesus could no longer go openly into a town, but stayed outside in lonely places; and people came to him from every direction.
