Maarqos 1
1 Jalqaba wangeela Yesuus Kiristoos Ilma Waaqaa.
This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Kitaaba Isaayyaas raajichaa keessatti akkana jedhamee barreeffameera: “Kunoo, ani ergamaa koo isa karaa kee qopheessu, si dura nan erga;”
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.”
3 “Sagalee nama, ‘Gooftaaf karaa qopheessaa; daandii qajeelaas isaaf hojjedhaa’ jedhee gammoojjii keessaa iyyu tokkoo.”
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
4 Kanaafuu Yohannis gammoojjii keessatti nama cuuphaa, dhiifama cubbuutiif immoo cuuphaa qalbii jijjiirrannaa lallabaa dhufe.
John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
5 Biyyi Yihuudaa guutuunii fi namoonni Yerusaalem hundinuus gara isaa dhaqanii cubbuu isaanii himachaa, Laga Yordaanos keessatti isaan cuuphamaa turan.
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 Yohannis uffata rifeensa gaalaa irraa hojjetame uffatee, mudhii isaas sabbata teephaatiin hidhata ture; inni hawwaannisaa fi damma bosonaa nyaata ture.
John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
7 Innis akkana jedhee lallabaa ture; “Kan na caalaa jabaa taʼe, hidhaa kophee isaa illee gad jedhee hiikuun kan naaf hin malle tokko na duubaan ni dhufa.
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 Ani bishaaniinan isin cuupha; inni garuu Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan isin cuupha.”
I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 Yeroo sana Yesuus Naazreeti ishee Galiilaatii dhufee Laga Yordaanos keessatti Yohannisiin cuuphame.
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Yesuus utuma bishaan keessaa ol baʼaa jiruu, samiin banamee utuu Hafuurri akkuma gugeetti isa irratti gad buʼuu arge.
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 Sagaleen, “Ati Ilma koo isa ani jaalladhuu dha; ani baayʼee sitti nan gammada” jedhu tokkos samii irraa dhufe.
And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
12 Yeruma sana Hafuurri gammoojjiitti isa baase;
At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
13 inni guyyaa afurtama Seexanaan qoramaa gammoojjii keessa ture. Inni bineensota wajjin ture; ergamoonnis isa tajaajilan.
and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
14 Erga Yohannis mana hidhaatti galfamee booddee, Yesuus wangeela Waaqaa lallabaa Galiilaa seene.
After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
15 Innis, “Barri sun gaʼeera; mootummaan Waaqaas dhiʼaateera; qalbii jijjiirradhaatii wangeelatti amanaa!” jedhe.
“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
16 Yesuus utuu qarqara Galaana Galiilaa irra deemaa jiruu Simoonii fi obboleessa isaa Indiriiyaas utuu isaan kiyyoo galaanatti darbachaa jiranuu arge; isaan qurxummii qabdoota turaniitii.
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 Yesuusis, “Kottaa, na duukaa buʼaa; anis akka isin qabduu namootaa taataniif isin nan erga” jedheen.
“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
18 Isaanis yommusuma kiyyoo isaanii dhiisanii isa duukaa buʼan.
And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Innis yommuu xinnoo achi hiiqetti Yaaqoob ilma Zabdewoosii fi obboleessa isaa Yohannis utuu isaan bidiruu keessatti kiyyoowwan isaanii qopheeffatanuu arge.
Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.
20 Innis yommusuma isaan waame; isaanis abbaa isaanii Zabdewoosin hojjettoota qacaraman wajjin bidiruu sana keessatti dhiisanii isa duukaa buʼan.
Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
21 Isaan gara Qifirnaahom dhaqan; innis yommusuma Sanbataan mana sagadaa seenee barsiise.
Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
22 Inni akka barsiistota seeraatti utuu hin taʼin akka nama taayitaa qabu tokkootti waan barsiisaa tureef namoonni barsiisa isaa ni dinqisiifatan.
The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Yeruma sana namichi mana sagadaa isaanii keessaa kan hafuura xuraaʼaan qabame tokko iyyee
Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
24 akkana jedhe; “Yaa Yesuus nama Naazreeti, ati maal nurraa qabda? Nu balleessuu dhufte moo? Ati eenyu akka taate ani nan beeka, yaa Qulqullicha Waaqaa!”
“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 Yesuus immoo, “Calʼisii isa keessaa baʼi!” jedhee ifate.
But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
26 Hafuurri xuraaʼaan sunis namicha dhidhiitachiisee, sagalee guddaadhaan iyyee keessaa baʼe.
At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
27 Namoonni hundinuu baayʼee dinqifatanii, “Kun maalii? Inni taayitaadhaan barsiisa haaraa barsiisa! Hafuurota xuraaʼoo illee ni ajaja; isaanis ni ajajamuuf” waliin jedhan.
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 Oduun waaʼee isaas dafee biyya Galiilaa guutuu keessa faffacaʼe.
And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
29 Isaanis akkuma mana sagadaatii baʼaniin Yaaqoobii fi Yohannis wajjin mana Simoonii fi Indiriiyaas dhaqan.
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 Haati niitii Simoonis dhukkuba dhagna gubaadhaan qabamtee ciifti turte; isaanis yommusuma waaʼee ishee Yesuusitti himan.
Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
31 Innis dhaqee harka qabee ishee kaase. Dhagna gubaan sunis ishee dhiise; isheenis isaan tajaajiluu jalqabde.
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 Namoonnis galgala sana erga biiftuun lixxee booddee, dhukkubsattootaa fi warra hafuurota hamoon qabaman hunda Yesuusitti fidan.
That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
33 Magaalaan sun guutuunis balbala duratti walitti qabame.
and the whole town gathered at the door.
34 Yesuusis namoota dhibee garaa garaa qaban hedduu fayyise; hafuurota hamoo baayʼees ni baase; garuu inni sababii hafuuronni hamoon sun eenyummaa isaa beekaniif akka isaan dubbatan hin eeyyamneef.
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 Yesuus ganama barii dimimmisaan kaʼee manaa baʼee iddoo namni hin jirre tokko dhaqee achitti kadhate.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.
36 Simoonii fi warri isa wajjin turan isa barbaaduu deeman;
Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
37 isaanis yommuu isa argatanitti, “Namni hundinuu si barbaadaa jira!” jedhaniin.
and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
38 Yesuus immoo deebisee, “Akka ani achittis lallabuuf kottaa gara magaalaawwan dhiʼoo jiran kaanii dhaqnaa. Sababiin ani dhufeefis kanuma” jedhe.
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 Kanaafuu inni manneen sagadaa isaanii keessatti lallabaa, hafuurota hamoos baasaa, Galiilaa guutuu keessa deeme.
So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40 Namichi lamxaaʼaan tokko gara isaa dhufee jilbeenfatee, “Yoo fedhii kee taʼe, ati na qulqulleessuu ni dandeessa” jedhee isa kadhate.
Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41 Yesuusis garaa laafeefii, harka isaa hiixatee namicha qaqqabee, “Fedhii koo ti; qulqullaaʼi!” jedheen.
Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
42 Yeruma sana lamxiin sun namicha irraa bade; namichis ni qulqullaaʼe.
And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
43 Yesuusis of eeggannoo jabaa kenneefii yommusuma gad isa dhiise.
Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
44 Akkanas jedheen; “Ati waan kana nama tokkotti illee akka hin himne beekkadhu; garuu dhaqiitii akka isaaniif ragaa taʼuuf lubatti of argisiisi; qulqullaaʼuu keetiifis aarsaawwan Museen ajaje sana dhiʼeessi.”
“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 Namichi garuu achii baʼee baayʼisee odeessuu jalqabe. Kanaafis Yesuus ergasii magaalaan ala, lafa namni hin jirre ture malee ifaan ifatti magaalattii seenuu hin dandeenye. Namoonni garuu iddoo hundatti isa bira dhufaa turan.
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.
