Mark 1
1 The beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ.
E ke tshimologo ya polelo e ntle ya ga Jesu Mesia, Morwa Modimo.
2 It is said in the prophet Isaiah – “I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way.
Mo bukeng e e kwadilweng ke moporofiti Isaia, Modimo o ile wa anamisa gore o tla romela morwaa one, mo lefatsheng, pele ga moo go tlaa tla morongwa yo o faphegileng go tla go baakanyetsa lefatshe go tla ga gagwe.
3 The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the road for the Lord, make a straight path for him.’”
“Mme morongwa yo o tlaa nna kwa ntle mo sekakeng se se senang sepe,” Isaia o bua jaana a re, “O tlaa anamisa gore mongwe le mongwe o tshwanetse go ipaakanyetsa go tla ga Morena.”
4 John the Baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism on repentance, for the forgiveness of sins.
Morongwa yo e ne e le Johane wa Mokolobetsi. O ne a nna mo sekakeng a ruta botlhe gore ba tshwanetse go kolobediwa e le molaetsa mo go botlhe gore ba sokologe mo dibeng tsa bone, gore Modimo o tle o ba itshwarele.
5 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.
Batho botlhe ba kwa Jerusalema le botlhe ba Judea ba ne ba tswela mo mafatsheng a Judea go tla go bona le go utlwa Johane, mme e re fa ba sena go ipolela dibe a ba kolobetse mo nokeng ya Jorodane.
6 John wore clothes made of camels’ hair, with a leather strap round his waist, and lived on locusts and wild honey;
Diaparo tsa gagwe di ne di logilwe ka boboa jwa kamela mme o ne a itlamile ka moitlamo wa letlalo mo lothekeng; tsie le dinotshe tsa naga e ne e le dijo tsa gagwe.
7 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.
Sekai sa thero ya gagwe ke se; “Mongwe o etla ka bonako yo o leng mogolo mo go nna, yo o leng mogolo thata go mpheta yo ruri ke sa tshwanelang go ka nna motlhanka wa gagwe.
8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’
Nna ke lo kolobetsa ka metsi mme ene o tla lo kolobetsa ka Mowa o o Boitshepo!”
9 Now about that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Erile letsatsi lengwe Jesu a tswa kwa Nasaretha wa Galalea, a kolobediwa ke Johane teng mo nokeng ya Jorodane.
10 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,
Mme erile ka bonako fa Jesu a tswa mo metsing, a bona magodimo a bulega le Mowa o o Boitshepo o le mo setshwanong sa lephoi o fologela mo go ene.
11 and from the heavens came a voice – ‘You are my dearly loved son; you bring me great joy.’
Mme lentswe la tswa kwa legodimong la re, “O Morwaake yo o rategang; o boitumelo jwa me.”
12 Immediately afterwards the Spirit drove Jesus out into the wilderness;
Ka bofefo Mowa o o Boitshepo wa gogela Jesu kwa nageng. A nna malatsi a le masome a mane, a nna teng mmogo le diphologolo tsa naga. O ne a tsentswe mo ditekong tsa ga Satane gore a leofe. Mme morago ga moo baengele ba tla ba mo direla.
13 and he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts, while the angels helped him.
14 After John had been arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God –
Morago ga moo Johane a sena go tshwarwa ke Kgosi Herode, Jesu a ya Galalea a ya go rera Mafoko a a Molemo a Modimo.
15 ‘The time has come, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the good news.’
Mme la bofelo a ba bolelela a re, “Nako e tsile. Bogosi jwa Modimo bo atametse! Sokologang lo tswe mo dibeng, mme lo dire ka fa mafokong a a molemo a.”
16 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.
Letsatsi lengwe fa Jesu a tsamaya fa lotshitshing lwa lewatle la Galalea, a bona Simone le Anterea monnawe ba tshwara ditlhapi ka matloa, gonne e ne e le batshwari ba ditlhapi ba ba di rekisang.
17 ‘Come and follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will teach you to fish for people.’
Jesu a ba bitsa a re, “Tlang lo ntshale morago! Mme ke tla lo dira batshwari ba mewa ya batho!”
18 They left their nets at once, and followed him.
Ka bofefo ba tlogela matloa a bone ba tsamaya nae.
19 Going on a little further, he saw James, Zebedee’s son, and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets.
Mme kgakajana fa lotshitshing lwa lewatle, a bona bomorwa Sebede, Jakobe le Johane, ba le mo mokorong ba baakanya matloa a bone.
20 Jesus called them at once, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the crew, and went after him.
Le bone a ba bitsa, ka bofefo ba tlogela rraabo Sebede le badiri ba bangwe mo mokorong ba mo sala morago.
21 They walked to Capernaum. On the next Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.
Mme Jesu le bapati ba gagwe ba fitlha mo motseng wa Kaperanama ka letsatsi la Sabata mo mosong mme ba tsena fa felong ga kobamelo ya Sejuta fa go bidiwang Senagoge (Tempele) kwa o neng a ruta gone.
22 The people were amazed at his teaching, for he taught them like one who had authority, and not like the teachers of the Law.
Hong phuthego ya gakgamala thata go utlwa thero ya gagwe gonne o ne a ruta se se builweng ke ba bangwe gona le kafa ba tlwaetseng go utlwa ka teng.
23 Now there was in their synagogue at the time a man under the power of a foul spirit, who called out,
Mme ga bo go le monna mongwe yo o tsenweng ke mewa e e maswe, mme a simolola go goa; a re,
24 ‘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!’
“Ke ka ntlha yang fa o re tshwenya, Jesu wa Nasaretha a o tsile go re nyeletsa rona Mewa e e maswe? Ke a itse fa o le Morwa Modimo o o Boitshepo.”
25 But Jesus rebuked the spirit, ‘Be silent! Come out from him.’
Jesu a laola moya o o maswe gore o didimale o tswe mo go ene.
26 The foul spirit threw the man into a fit, and with a loud cry came out from him.
Mme mowa o o maswe wa goa wa mo kgaratlhisa wa tswa mo go ene.
27 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!’
Batho ba gakgamala mme ba simolola go bua ka ga se se diragetseng. Ba botsanya ka kakabalo ba re, “Ke mofuta ofe wa tumelo e ncha e? Ke ka ntlha yang, fa le mewa e e maswe e utlwa ditaolo tsa gagwe!”
28 His fame spread at once in all directions, through the whole region of Galilee.
Mme dikgang ka ga se o se dirileng tsa akofa tsa utlwala mo lefatsheng lotlhe la Galalea.
29 As soon as they had left the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
Mme e rile fa a tswa mo tempeleng, ene le barutwa ba gagwe ba tsena kwa ga bo Simone le Anterea, kwa ba fitlhetseng mogwagwadia Simone wa mosadi a namaletse mo bolaong a lwala bolwetse jwa letshoroma. Mme ya re fela ka bofefo ba bolelela Jesu ka gagwe.
30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying ill with a fever, and they at once told Jesus about her.
31 Jesus went up to her and, grasping her hand, raised her up; the fever left her, and she began to take care of them.
A ya fa thoko ga bolao jwa gagwe, mme a mo kakatlolola gore a nne sentle, ka bofefo letshoroma la mo tlogela, mme a ema a ba baakanyetsa dijo!
32 In the evening, after sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who were ill or possessed by demons;
Mme e rile letsatsi le phirima lolwapa lwa bo lo tletse balwetse le ba ba neng ba tsenwe ke mewa e e maswe, ba lerilwe kwa go ene go fodisiwa; bontsi jwa batho ba ba tswang kwa metseng ya Kaperanama ba kgobokanela kwa ntle ga kgoro go lebelela.
33 and the whole city was gathered round the door.
34 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.
Mme Jesu a fodisa ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba lwala mo maitseboeng ao, a ba a laola mewa e e maswe go tswa mo go ba e neng e ba tsenye. (Mme a gana go letla mewa e e maswe go bua gonne e ne e itse gore ke mang).
35 In the morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and went out to a lonely spot, where he began to pray.
Erile mo mosong o o latelang a phakela thata a tsamaya a le esi go ya go rapela mo nageng.
36 But Simon and his companions went out searching for him;
Mme morago ga moo Simone le ba bangwe ba ya go mmatla, ba mo raya ba re, “Mongwe le mongwe o a go batla.”
37 and, when they found him, they exclaimed, ‘Everyone is looking for you!’
38 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.’
Mme a araba a re, “Re tshwanetse go ya le kwa metseng e mengwe, gore le bone ke ba neele molaetsa wame, gonne ke lone lebaka le ke le tletseng.”
39 And he went about making his proclamation in their synagogues all through Galilee, and driving out the demons.
Mme a tsamaya le lefatshe lotlhe la Galalea, a rera mo ditempeleng ebile a golola ba le bantsi mo thateng ya Mewa e e maswe.
40 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.’
Mme ka bofefo ga tla moleperwa a khubama fa pele ga gagwe a kopa gore a fodisiwe. A mo rapela a re, “Fa o rata o ka mphodisa.”
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’
Mme Jesu a mo utlwela botlhoko a mo ama a re, “Ke a rata! fola!”
42 Instantly the leprosy left the man, and he became clean;
Ka bofefo leperwa la tloga, monna a fola!
43 and then Jesus, after sternly warning him, immediately sent him away,
Mme Jesu a mo laya thata a re, “Tsamaya o ye go tlhatlhobiwa ka bonako ke moperesiti wa Sejuta. O seka wa ema go bolelela ope mo tseleng. Tsaya neo ya gago ka fa molaong wa ga Moshe wa moleperwa yo o fodisitsweng, gore mongwe le mongwe a tle a nne le bosupi jwa gore o fodile.”
44 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 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.
Erile fa moleperwa a ntse a tsamaya mo tseleng a simolola go goeletsa mafoko a a molemo a gore o fodile. Mme yare ka ntlha ya moo, bontsi jwa batho jwa dikaganyetsa Jesu gore a ba a retelelwe ke go tsena mo motseng, mme a tshwanelwa ke go nna kwa ntle mo sekakeng. Mme batho ba tswa gongwe le gongwe ba tla kwa go ene.
