Malekha 1
1 Uvwu vwu vutengulilo wa limenyu lya Yiisu Kriste, Nswambe va Nguluve.
A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
2 Ndavwuwa lesimbiwe nu nyamalago Yesaya, “Lole nihonsuha unsuhiwa vangu mumbolongolo hulyove, unyahutesania enjela yakho.
As it has been written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.
3 Elimenyu lya munu uveikhwelanga ndodasi, “Mmalesyage injela ya Ntwa; mgolosyage injela incha mwene.”
A voice of one calling in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight.”
4 O Yohani ainchile, alekuncha ndodasi nu hulumbilila ulyancho ulwa khupela khu lusyekhelo lwa mbivi.
John came immersing in the wilderness, and proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
5 Ekhelunga khoni ekhya Yudea na avanu voni ava mu Yerusalemu valutile khumwene. Valekhyonchiwa nnmwene ndugaasi ulwa Yordani, valechupela imbivi incga vene.
and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 O Yohani afwalaga umwenda gwa lwage lwa ngamia nu ombote gwa ngwembe mukhivina lchya mwene, alinchaga imanji nu wukhi vwa mwinyasi.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
7 Alumbilile nu khuta, “Pwale yomo uveikhwincha munsana nndyone unyamakha agalutelile khulyone, one saniwesya ukhugundame nu ukhuhudula indegekhe incha vilatu ifya mwene.
and he proclaimed, saying, “He comes—who is mightier than I—after me, of whom I am not worthy—having stooped down—to loose the strap of His sandals;
8 One navoochiche na amagasi, leno umwene ikhovonchaga umwe nu umepo umbalache.”
I indeed immersed you in water, but He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 Yakhomile amanchova agoo ukhuta Yiisu ainchile ukhukhuma Nazareti eya Galileya, pwu aonchiwe nu Yohani mundugasi ulwa Yolodani.
And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan;
10 Imisekhe Yiisu wikhwinamkha ukhukhuma mu ndugasi, akhavona khukhyanya khule mwanchi nu umepo ikhwikha pakhyanya pamwene ndekhengundya.
and immediately coming up from the water, He saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit coming down on Him as a dove;
11 Elimenyu lekhakhuma khukyanya, “Uve ole Nswambago vegane. Nekhuganile uvwe.”
and a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted.”
12 Usekhe gugwa umepo akhamwomelencha ukhuluta khulodasi.
And immediately the Spirit puts Him forth into the wilderness,
13 Avile khuludasi amanchuva arobaini, alekhugeliwa nu Ntavangwa u setano. Ale pupaninie ni ifikanu ifya mwinyasi, pwu avasukhiwa valekhuntangela.
and He was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan, and He was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to Him.
14 Pwu vwu ibatiwe Yohani, u Yiisu akhincha khu Galileya alekhulumbilela alimenyu lya Nguluve,
And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God,
15 Alekhuta, “Unsekhe gusilile, uludeva lwa Nguluve lukhegelile. Pelega nu khwidika elimenyu.”
and saying, “The time has been fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has come near, convert and believe in the good news.”
16 Vwuilotanincha ndukhanji mwanyanja eya Galileya, akhambona u Simoni nu olokhololwe u Ndeleya vilakhela inyafu incha vene mu nyanja ulwa khuva vavombaga embombo eya khulova.
And walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon, and his brother Andrew, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
17 Yiisu akhavavola ukhuta, “Mwinchage, mung'ongage, nikhovavekha ukhuva valovi va vanu.”
and Jesus said to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men”;
18 Unsekhe gugwa vakhanchilekha inyafu valekhunkonga.
and immediately, having left their nets, they followed Him.
19 U Yiisu walotile pavutali padebe, akhambona u Yakobo unswambe va Zebedayo nu Yohani alokololwe; vale mu mbwato valekhutenda inyafu.
And having gone on there a little, He saw James of Zebedee, and his brother John, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
20 Na vope akhavelanga vahandekha u Dada vavene u Zebedayo mu bwato na avavombi avagongoliwa, vakhankonga.
and immediately He called them, and having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after Him.
21 Vovanchifikhe hu Kaperinaumu, elinchuva lya isabato, u Yiisu akhingila mu sinagogi mukhumanyisya.
And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, He was teaching,
22 Valeswigila lelyo alemanyisye, ulwa khuva alekhuvamanyisya ndu munu unyalulagelo sandavovwa vavimanyisya amasimbi.
and they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Unsekhe gugwa khwale nu munu mu sinagogi lya vene uveale ni mepo imbivi, pwu akhaywega,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 Akhata, “Tulene khehi ekhya huvomba nuve, Yiisu va Nazareti? Winchile khukhutoyancha? Nekhumanyile ule veni. Uve ulembalanche vemwene va Nguluve!”
saying, “What [regards] us and You, Jesus the Nazarene? You came to destroy us; I have known You, who You are—the Holy One of God.”
25 U Yiisu akhanchibencha imepo nu khunchova, “Nunala mukhome mgati mumwene!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come forth out of him,”
26 Pwu imepo embivi yekhagwisya pasi nu ikhahuma mumwene vwu ilelo khu limenyu elya pa kyanya.
and the unclean spirit having convulsed him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
27 Avanu voni valekhuswiga, pwu valekhuvonchana khela munu, “Khenu kheli ekhe? Lumanyisyo ulopya ulunyalulagilo? Ulwa khulagila imepo imbivi ukhumpwulikha!”
and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching [is] this? That with authority He also commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 Elimenyu lya mwene likhamanyekhekha ekhelunga khyoni khya Galileya.
And the fame of Him went forth immediately to all the region of Galilee.
29 Unsekhe gugwa vwa khomile mu sinagogi, vakhingila mbunchenge uvwa Simioni nu Ndeleya vovale nu Yakobo nu Yohani.
And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
30 Leno ukwive va Simioni alekhogona avile ne khoma, pwu unsekhe gugwe vakhambula u Yiisu.
and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell Him about her,
31 Pwu akhincha, akhamwibata ekhevokho, nu khumwinula; ekhoma yekhakhega, akhatengula ukhuvatangela.
and having come near, He raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
32 Lyakhemikhe elijuva volesemile, vakhandetela avanu voni avale watamu, avange avale ni mepo imbivi.
And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to Him all who were ill and who were demoniacs,
33 Ikhelunga khyoni wakhalundamana pwu paninie pa ndyango.
and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
34 Akhavapokha vingi avale vatamu va vitamu nu ukhuvahencha imepo ukhunchova, ulwa khuva nchamanyile.
and He healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and He cast forth many demons, and was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
35 Akhalavela ukhusisismkha panavusiku, vwu khunchige ne khisi; akhahega akhaluta pa vwukhale akhesaya ukhwe.
And very early, it being yet night, having risen, He went forth, and went away to a desolate place, and was praying there;
36 Simioni na voni avale paninie nu mwene valekhondonda.
and Simon and those with him went in quest of Him,
37 Vakhambona nu khumbula, “Ukhuta voni vikholonda”
and having found Him, they say to Him, “All seek You”;
38 Akhavavola, “Tuvokhe pavunge, khunji mumbojenge, pwu nelumbilela nukhwa. Khyomene ninchile apa.”
and He says to them, “We may go into the next towns, that there also I may preach, for—for this I came forth.”
39 Akhalota akhagendela Galileya yoni, alekhulumbelela mu masinagogi gavene nu ukhunchibencha imepo.
And He was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
40 Unyabuuba yumo akhincha khumwene. Alekhodova; akhafugama nu khuta, “INgave vwinogwa, umbombe neve nonu.”
and there comes to Him a leper, calling on Him, and kneeling to Him, and saying to Him, “If You may will, You are able to cleanse me.”
41 Vwuikhulugiwa ne khisa, u Yiisu akhagolosya ekhevokho khya mwene akhankolela, akhata, “Ninogwa. Uvwe nonu.”
And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him and says to him, “I will, be cleansed”;
42 Unsekhe gugwa ubuuba vukhakhega, akhava nonu.
and He having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Yiisu akhambolanincha ukhuta akhege unsekhe gugwa,
And having sternly charged him, immediately He put him forth,
44 Akhambula ukhuta, “Usite ukhonchova elimenyu khwu munu yeyone, pwu lotaga, ukhevonesye khuvatekhenchi, ukhakhumie enekhelo eya uvuvalanche ndavovwa alagile u Mose, yeve luvonekhelo khuvene.”
and says to him, “See [that] you may say nothing to anyone, but go away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.”
45 Pwu alekhuluta nu khutengula ukhupangila khela munu elimenyu lichadala khwoni pwu u Yiisu akhalemwa ukhwingila khuvulegefu mumbunchenge. Pwu akhatama aponu pavukhale avanu vakhincha khumwene ukhuhuma ukhyoni.
And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread the thing abroad, so that He was no longer able to openly enter into the city, but He was outside in desolate places, and they were coming to Him from every quarter.
