1 Mban ya imbɨr Jisas Kraisɨnd, ndɨn Yakŋ Ohɨrand Nor. Ya hamb mbanave ahevakarɨmar.
Here is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Just as the prophet Isaiah wrote, “I'm sending my messenger ahead of you to 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 is calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the Lord's way! Make his paths straight.’”

John came, baptizing in the desert, announcing 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.
Everybody from the country of Judea and from Jerusalem went to him. They admitted their sins publicly and were baptized 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 wore clothes made of camel hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate 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.
This is what he had to say: “After me someone is coming who is greater than I am. I'm not worthy to bend down and untie his sandals.
8 Nzɨ andɨŋ yamb imbɨmun ŋazɨkŋirɨŋgwɨŋgw ŋambiahajin amar. Mbɨp Kɨpɨr Imbɨr Yakŋ Ohɨrand han kaz ŋkai andɨŋ ŋgwevondari amar.
I baptized you in water but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 Mach, haŋonaŋg Jisasɨv aiampɨra mbɨkɨr Nasaret, isupɨr Galilind haŋ erere avɨhomar. Avɨhoz Jonɨmb ndɨn yamb Jordanɨŋ ŋazɨkŋirɨŋgwi ŋambiahamar.
Then Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
10 Ŋambiahazand sɨhawarohe waz rakav kɨrɨm ŋenduwamar. Ŋenduwazand Kɨpɨr Imbɨr Yakŋ Ohɨrand hamb apa ikŋɨŋgwɨm emamp ipɨndahe ndɨnɨŋ ŋkaimar.
As Jesus came out of the water, he saw the heavens split apart and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.
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.
A voice from heaven said, “You are my son, the one I love. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Mach, haŋonaŋg Kɨpɨr Imbɨr Yakŋ Ohɨrand hamb Jisasɨh ke mpimbi ŋavɨzuz isupɨr wɨram mah handɨh omar.
Right after this the Spirit sent him away into the desert
13 We yuŋk undɨmajɨvam ohɨra ñɨz ñɨzand Satanɨmb ndɨnɨh mbɨŋgɨr eŋgwanj. Mbɨŋgɨr eŋgwazand, Jisasɨv mɨroyam antandmen ñɨzand, Yakŋ Ohɨrand mapɨŋ akŋ hamb ndɨn pɨrasɨmŋganj.
where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was with the wild animals, and angels took care of 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.
Later, after John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, announcing God's good news.
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 predicted has come,” he said. “God's kingdom has arrived! Repent and believe in 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 he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they made their living by fishing.
17 Az Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Amɨ ai yan mpehɨraivar amar. Aimŋgɨn nzɨ andɨŋ wɨram hanave ŋɨmbɨmb han mbɨramɨŋ amar.
“Come and follow me,” he told them, “and I will have you fishing 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.
He went a little farther and saw James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee. 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 he called them to follow him, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, and followed Jesus.
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 left for Capernaum, and on the Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught there.
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 spoke with authority, unlike the religious teachers.
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, right there in the synagogue, a man with an evil spirit started shouting 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.
“Jesus of Nazareth, why are you bothering us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are! You're God's Holy One!”
25 Hanave kaz, Jisasɨv itɨ kɨvah mban ya aŋkarɨpɨr ke kamar. Amɨ ya erere wɨram mban etov amar.
Jesus interrupted the evil spirit, telling him, “Be quiet! 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.
The evil spirit screamed, threw the man into convulsions, and came out of 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.
Everyone was amazed at what happened. “What is this?” they asked each other. “What is this new teaching that has such authority? Even evil spirits do what he tells them!”
28 Avɨz pams haŋon, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ isupɨr Galilind hamb Jisasɨndɨv ya kɨrɨm hɨro hɨrai kamŋgɨmar.
News about him spread quickly throughout the whole region of Galilee.
29 Mach ave, Jisasɨv Jemsmen Jonmen Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨŋ ñɨhɨri ahevetai Saimonɨnd Andrund oramɨŋ omŋgɨmar.
Then they left the synagogue and went to the home 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.
Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, so they 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.
He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever immediately left her. Then she made them a meal.
32 Mach, rapɨrɨv ŋkwuhi zuh razand, mbɨ osa anchɨ hamb wɨram mahororɨnsɨnd han, itɨ kɨvahɨnsɨnd hanez mɨŋam ŋɨmbi Jisasɨnd pɨŋ hɨraimŋgɨmar.
After sunset that evening, those who were sick and demon-possessed were brought to Jesus.
33 Osa anchɨ aiampɨraŋ ñɨmŋgɨmar kehamb mɨŋam ai oram impikŋ handɨh aŋkwezawi ñɨmŋgɨmar.
The whole of the town gathered outside.
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.
He healed many people who had various diseases, and threw out many demons. He did not permit the demons to speak, for they knew who he was.
35 Mach, Jisasɨv mband zuhun ŋaiahe ahevai isupɨr wɨram mah handɨh we Yakŋ Ohɨra ahaz oror ñɨmar.
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went alone to a quiet place to pray.
36 We ñɨzand Saimonɨmb wɨram emŋgemŋgamen Jisasɨh kɨrahɨr omŋgɨmar.
Simon and the others went to search for him.
37 We ndɨn we kamŋgɨmar. Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb nan kɨramŋgɨmbɨri arɨmŋgɨmar.
When they found him, they told him, “Everybody's 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 replied, “We have to go to the other towns around here so that I can tell them the good news as well—for that's 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.
So he went all over Galilee, speaking in the synagogues and expelling 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.
A leper came to him asking for help. The man kneeled down before Jesus, saying, “Please, if you're willing, you can heal me!”
41 Hanave kaz, Jisasɨv ndɨn akŋɨn ñi omanaka ndɨn insɨŋ ŋgame kamar. Nzɨ nan akŋɨn ñi nan ndɨh omanenta sin amar.
With compassion Jesus reached out and touched the man, and said, “I am willing. Be healed!”
42 Mach, Jisasɨv hanave kaz, yupɨr mbɨkɨr hamb pams haŋon omanenta ñɨz, wɨram mbanamb kɨrɨm imbɨr ramar.
The leprosy left him immediately, and he was healed.
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 sent him away with a strong warning.
“Make sure you don't tell anybody anything about this,” he told him. “Go to the priest and show yourself to him. Give the offering which is required by the law of Moses for such cleansing, so that people will have proof.”
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 healed leper went out and told everyone what had happened. As a result Jesus could not openly go into the cities anymore, but had to stay out in the country where people came to him from everywhere around.
