Malekha 1
1 Uvwu vwu vutengulilo wa limenyu lya Yiisu Kriste, Nswambe va Nguluve.
The beginning of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST the Son of GOD.
2 Ndavwuwa lesimbiwe nu nyamalago Yesaya, “Lole nihonsuha unsuhiwa vangu mumbolongolo hulyove, unyahutesania enjela yakho.
As it is written in the prophets, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"
3 Elimenyu lya munu uveikhwelanga ndodasi, “Mmalesyage injela ya Ntwa; mgolosyage injela incha mwene.”
and again, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:" accordingly John came baptizing in the wilderness,
4 O Yohani ainchile, alekuncha ndodasi nu hulumbilila ulyancho ulwa khupela khu lusyekhelo lwa mbivi.
and preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission 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 all the country of Judea, and those of Jerusalem, went out to him, and were all baptized 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 camels hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and he lived upon locusts and wild honey: and he preached,
7 Alumbilile nu khuta, “Pwale yomo uveikhwincha munsana nndyone unyamakha agalutelile khulyone, one saniwesya ukhugundame nu ukhuhudula indegekhe incha vilatu ifya mwene.
saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop and unloose.
8 One navoochiche na amagasi, leno umwene ikhovonchaga umwe nu umepo umbalache.”
I indeed have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the holy Spirit.
9 Yakhomile amanchova agoo ukhuta Yiisu ainchile ukhukhuma Nazareti eya Galileya, pwu aonchiwe nu Yohani mundugasi ulwa Yolodani.
And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan:
10 Imisekhe Yiisu wikhwinamkha ukhukhuma mu ndugasi, akhavona khukhyanya khule mwanchi nu umepo ikhwikha pakhyanya pamwene ndekhengundya.
and as soon as He came up from the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.
11 Elimenyu lekhakhuma khukyanya, “Uve ole Nswambago vegane. Nekhuganile uvwe.”
And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Usekhe gugwa umepo akhamwomelencha ukhuluta khulodasi.
And immediately the Spirit taketh Him out 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 tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts: and angels ministred unto Him.
14 Pwu vwu ibatiwe Yohani, u Yiisu akhincha khu Galileya alekhulumbilela alimenyu lya Nguluve,
Now after John was cast into prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 Alekhuta, “Unsekhe gusilile, uludeva lwa Nguluve lukhegelile. Pelega nu khwidika elimenyu.”
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
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 as He was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea,
17 Yiisu akhavavola ukhuta, “Mwinchage, mung'ongage, nikhovavekha ukhuva valovi va vanu.”
(for they were fishermen, ) and Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men:
18 Unsekhe gugwa vakhanchilekha inyafu valekhunkonga.
and immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 U Yiisu walotile pavutali padebe, akhambona u Yakobo unswambe va Zebedayo nu Yohani alokololwe; vale mu mbwato valekhutenda inyafu.
And going a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship, mending their nets, and immediately called them likewise:
20 Na vope akhavelanga vahandekha u Dada vavene u Zebedayo mu bwato na avavombi avagongoliwa, vakhankonga.
and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the men he had hired, and went along with Him.
21 Vovanchifikhe hu Kaperinaumu, elinchuva lya isabato, u Yiisu akhingila mu sinagogi mukhumanyisya.
And they went into Capernaum: and going directly into the synagogue on the sabbath, He taught the people: and they were astonished at his doctrine;
22 Valeswigila lelyo alemanyisye, ulwa khuva alekhuvamanyisya ndu munu unyalulagelo sandavovwa vavimanyisya amasimbi.
for He taught them as one that had 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 impure spirit,
24 Akhata, “Tulene khehi ekhya huvomba nuve, Yiisu va Nazareti? Winchile khukhutoyancha? Nekhumanyile ule veni. Uve ulembalanche vemwene va Nguluve!”
and he cried out, saying, Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the holy one of God.
25 U Yiisu akhanchibencha imepo nu khunchova, “Nunala mukhome mgati mumwene!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him: and the impure spirit threw him into convulsions,
26 Pwu imepo embivi yekhagwisya pasi nu ikhahuma mumwene vwu ilelo khu limenyu elya pa kyanya.
and roaring with a loud voice, came 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 that they inquired of each other, saying, What is this, what new kind of doctrine is this? for He commands with authority even the impure spirits, and they obey Him.
28 Elimenyu lya mwene likhamanyekhekha ekhelunga khyoni khya Galileya.
And straitway his fame spread into all the country round about Galilee.
29 Unsekhe gugwa vwa khomile mu sinagogi, vakhingila mbunchenge uvwa Simioni nu Ndeleya vovale nu Yakobo nu Yohani.
And as soon as they came out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, together with James and John.
30 Leno ukwive va Simioni alekhogona avile ne khoma, pwu unsekhe gugwe vakhambula u Yiisu.
And Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever: and they immediately told Him of her:
31 Pwu akhincha, akhamwibata ekhevokho, nu khumwinula; ekhoma yekhakhega, akhatengula ukhuvatangela.
and He came to her, and taking her by the hand raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she waited upon them.
32 Lyakhemikhe elijuva volesemile, vakhandetela avanu voni avale watamu, avange avale ni mepo imbivi.
And in the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were ill, and demoniacs:
33 Ikhelunga khyoni wakhalundamana pwu paninie pa ndyango.
and the whole city was gathered together at the door;
34 Akhavapokha vingi avale vatamu va vitamu nu ukhuvahencha imepo ukhunchova, ulwa khuva nchamanyile.
and He healed many that were ill of various diseases, and cast out many devils, and suffered not the devils to say that they knew Him.
35 Akhalavela ukhusisismkha panavusiku, vwu khunchige ne khisi; akhahega akhaluta pa vwukhale akhesaya ukhwe.
And in the morning, before it was light, He rose up and went out, and retired into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simioni na voni avale paninie nu mwene valekhondonda.
And Simon, and they that were with him, went in quest of Him:
37 Vakhambona nu khumbula, “Ukhuta voni vikholonda”
and when they found Him, they said to Him, all the people are seeking for thee.
38 Akhavavola, “Tuvokhe pavunge, khunji mumbojenge, pwu nelumbilela nukhwa. Khyomene ninchile apa.”
And He saith unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for this was the end of my coming.
39 Akhalota akhagendela Galileya yoni, alekhulumbelela mu masinagogi gavene nu ukhunchibencha imepo.
And He went preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Unyabuuba yumo akhincha khumwene. Alekhodova; akhafugama nu khuta, “INgave vwinogwa, umbombe neve nonu.”
And there came to Him a leper, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me:
41 Vwuikhulugiwa ne khisa, u Yiisu akhagolosya ekhevokho khya mwene akhankolela, akhata, “Ninogwa. Uvwe nonu.”
and Jesus, being moved with compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him, and saith unto Him, I will;
42 Unsekhe gugwa ubuuba vukhakhega, akhava nonu.
be thou healed: and as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed.
43 Yiisu akhambolanincha ukhuta akhege unsekhe gugwa,
And he gave him a strict charge, and immediately dismissed him,
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 saith unto him, See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification what Moses has commanded, 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.
But when he was gone he began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the report: so that Jesus could no more go openly into the city, but kept out in country places: and they came to Him from all parts.
