Mak 1
1 Mban ya imbɨr Jisas Kraisɨnd, ndɨn Yakŋ Ohɨrand Nor. Ya hamb mbanave ahevakarɨmar.
This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
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.
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who 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.
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths 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 Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of 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.
People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
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 was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was 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 began to proclaim: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 Nzɨ andɨŋ yamb imbɨmun ŋazɨkŋirɨŋgwɨŋgw ŋambiahajin amar. Mbɨp Kɨpɨr Imbɨr Yakŋ Ohɨrand han kaz ŋkai andɨŋ ŋgwevondari amar.
I baptize 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.
In those days 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.
As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on 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 a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
12 Mach, haŋonaŋg Kɨpɨr Imbɨr Yakŋ Ohɨrand hamb Jisasɨh ke mpimbi ŋavɨzuz isupɨr wɨram mah handɨh omar.
At once the Spirit drove Jesus 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 for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to 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 the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel 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 is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
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 walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into 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, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
18 Avɨz mach, pams haŋon ŋondɨrahe mbɨndɨŋ añaŋan akŋ han erere ndɨn kɨrɨm mpehɨromŋgɨmar.
And at once they left their nets 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 farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their 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.
Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed 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.
Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath 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 astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Mach, yuŋk emŋga haŋ Jisasɨv ya sɨkazand wɨram itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd hamb mbɨndɨŋ Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨŋ ñɨmar. Avɨz itɨ kɨvah mbanamb aware kamar.
Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
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 of Nazareth? 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!” He said. “Come out of him!”
26 Mach, Jisasɨv hanave kaz, itɨ kɨvah mbanamb raz wɨram mbanamb nte kɨrɨm ntahorɨmar. Ntahorɨzand itɨ kɨvah hamb itɨkɨrɨmun aware kɨrɨm enduwaŋgɨŋgamar.
At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
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.
All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 Avɨz pams haŋon, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ isupɨr Galilind hamb Jisasɨndɨv ya kɨrɨm hɨro hɨrai kamŋgɨmar.
And the news about Jesus spread quickly 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 Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30 Saimonɨnd mɨŋɨr anchɨndɨrɨh mbɨkɨr yupɨr hamb pɨr ohɨra ñɨzand, antɨm mbɨkɨr handɨh ŋgañɨmar. Az Jisasɨh mahoror mbɨkɨr handɨv kamŋgɨmar.
Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly 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.
So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 Mach, rapɨrɨv ŋkwuhi zuh razand, mbɨ osa anchɨ hamb wɨram mahororɨnsɨnd han, itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd hanez mɨŋam ŋɨmbi Jisasɨnd pɨŋ hɨraimŋgɨmar.
That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
33 Osa anchɨ aiampɨraŋ ñɨmŋgɨmar kehamb mɨŋam ai oram impikŋ handɨh aŋkwezawi ñɨmŋgɨmar.
and the whole town gathered at 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.
And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 Mach, Jisasɨv mband zuhun ŋaiahe ahevai isupɨr wɨram mah handɨh we Yakŋ Ohɨra ahaz oror ñɨmar.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.
36 We ñɨzand Saimonɨmb wɨram emŋgemŋgamen Jisasɨh kɨrahɨr omŋgɨmar.
Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
37 We ndɨn we kamŋgɨmar. Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb nan kɨramŋgɨmbɨri arɨmŋgɨmar.
and when they found Him, they said, “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 answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”
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.
So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out 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.
Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can 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 reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
42 Mach, Jisasɨv hanave kaz, yupɨr mbɨkɨr hamb pams haŋon omanenta ñɨz, wɨram mbanamb kɨrɨm imbɨr ramar.
And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
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.
Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
“See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
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.
But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.
