Malako 1
1 Tala ebandeli ya Sango Malamu ya Yesu-Klisto, Mwana na Nzambe,
The beginning of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST the Son of GOD.
2 kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na mokanda ya mosakoli Ezayi: « Nakotinda ntoma na Ngai liboso na Yo, ye nde akobongisela Yo nzela.
As it is written in the prophets, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"
3 Mongongo ya moto moko ezali kobelela kati na esobe: ‹ Bobongisa nzela mpo na Nkolo, bosembolela Ye banzela ya mike! › »
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 Boye Yoane azalaki kati na esobe mpe azalaki kosakola: « Bobongola mitema na bino, bozwa libatisi, mpe Nzambe akolimbisa masumu na bino! »
and preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
5 Bavandi nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi bazalaki kokende epai na ye; bazalaki kotubela masumu na bango, mpe ye, azalaki kobatisa bango na ebale Yordani.
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 Yoane azalaki kolata elamba oyo basala na bapwale ya shamo mpe mokaba oyo basala na poso ya nyama, na loketo; azalaki kolia mankoko mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
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 Tala makambo oyo azalaki koteya bato: « Sima na ngai, Moto moko azali koya, aleki ngai na nguya; ngai nabongi kutu te mpo na kogumbama liboso na Ye mpo na kofungola ata basinga ya basandale na Ye.
saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop and unloose.
8 Ngai nazali kobatisa bino na mayi, kasi Ye akobatisa bino kati na Molimo Mosantu. »
I indeed have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the holy Spirit.
9 Na tango wana, Yesu ayaki wuta na Nazareti ya Galile, mpe Yoane abatisaki Ye na ebale Yordani.
And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan:
10 Tango kaka abimaki na mayi, amonaki Likolo kofungwama mpe Molimo kokitela Ye lokola ebenga.
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 Mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta na Likolo: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, nasepelaka na Yo mingi! »
And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Mbala moko, Molimo amemaki Yesu kati na esobe
And immediately the Spirit taketh Him out into the wilderness:
13 epai wapi avandaki mikolo tuku minei mpe Satana azalaki komeka Ye. Azalaki kuna elongo na banyama ya zamba, mpe ba-anjelu bazalaki kopesa Ye bilei.
and He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts: and angels ministred unto Him.
14 Tango babwakaki Yoane kati na boloko, Yesu akendeki na Galile epai wapi azalaki koteya Sango Malamu ya Nzambe.
Now after John was cast into prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 Azalaki koloba: « Tango ekoki, mpe Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekomi pene. Bobongola mitema mpe bondima Sango Malamu. »
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Mokolo moko, wana Yesu azalaki koleka pembeni ya ebale ya Galile, amonaki Simona mpe Andre, ndeko na ye. Bazalaki kobwaka monyama na ebale, pamba te bazalaki balobi mbisi.
And as He was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea,
17 Yesu alobaki na bango: « Bolanda Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bino balobi bato. »
(for they were fishermen, ) and Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men:
18 Mbala moko, batikaki minyama na bango mpe balandaki Yesu.
and immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Wana Yesu akobaki kotambola, amonaki na mosika Jake, mwana mobali ya Zebede, oyo azalaki elongo na Yoane, ndeko na ye; bazalaki kobongisa minyama kati na bwato na bango.
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 Mbala moko, Yesu abengaki bango. Batikaki Zebede, tata na bango, kati na bwato elongo na basali na ye mpe balandaki Yesu.
and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the men he had hired, and went along with Him.
21 Bongo Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye bakendeki na Kapernawumi. Na mokolo ya Saba, Yesu akotaki na ndako ya mayangani mpe abandaki koteya.
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 Bato bakamwaki makasi malakisi na Ye, pamba te ateyaki na bokonzi oyo balakisi ya Mobeko bazangaki.
for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Kaka na tango yango, ezalaki na moto moko, kati na ndako ya mayangani, oyo azalaki na se ya bokonzi ya molimo mabe, azalaki koganga:
And there was in their synagogue a man with an impure spirit,
24 — Yesu ya Nazareti, olingi nini? Oyei nde koboma biso? Nayebi Yo malamu, ozali Motindami mpe Mosantu ya Nzambe!
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 Yesu atelemelaki molimo mabe yango mpe apesaki yango mitindo: — Kanga monoko na yo! Bima kati na moto oyo.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him: and the impure spirit threw him into convulsions,
26 Molimo mabe eningisaki moto yango makasi mpe ebimaki na koganga.
and roaring with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Bato nyonso bakamwaki makasi mpe bakomaki kotunana: — Oyo ezali lisusu likambo nini? Tala mateya ya sika oyo etondi na nguya! Azali kopesa mitindo ata na milimo mabe, mpe ezali kotosa Ye!
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 Mbala moko, sango na tina na Ye epanzanaki kati na etuka mobimba ya Galile.
And straitway his fame spread into all the country round about Galilee.
29 Tango Yesu abimaki na ndako ya mayangani, akendeki elongo na Jake mpe Yoane na ndako ya Simona mpe Andre.
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 Nzokande, mama-bokilo ya Simona azalaki ya kolala mpo ete azalaki kobela fievele; mbala moko, bapesaki Ye sango.
And Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever: and they immediately told Him of her:
31 Boye apusanaki pene ya mama yango, asimbaki ye na loboko mpe atelemisaki ye; fievele esilaki, mpe mama yango akomaki kobongisela bango bilei.
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 Wana moyi elalaki mpe pokwa eyaki, bamemelaki Yesu babeli nyonso mpe bato oyo bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya milimo mabe.
And in the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were ill, and demoniacs:
33 Bato nyonso ya engumba bayaki kosangana liboso ya ekuke ya ndako;
and the whole city was gathered together at the door;
34 bongo Yesu abikisaki bato ebele oyo bazalaki na pasi ya ndenge na ndenge, abenganaki milimo mabe ebele mpe apekisaki yango koloba; pamba te milimo mabe eyebi nani oyo Ye azali.
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 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, wana molili ezalaki nanu, Yesu alamukaki, abimaki libanda, akendeki na esobe epai wapi azalaki kaka Ye moko mpe akomaki kosambela.
And in the morning, before it was light, He rose up and went out, and retired into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simona elongo na baninga na ye bakendeki koluka Yesu.
And Simon, and they that were with him, went in quest of Him:
37 Tango bamonaki Ye, balobaki na Ye: — Bato nyonso bazali koluka Yo.
and when they found Him, they said to Him, all the people are seeking for thee.
38 Kasi Ye azongiselaki bango: — Tokende na esika mosusu, na bamboka ya zingazinga, mpo ete nateya mpe kuna, pamba te nayaki mpo na yango.
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 Boye, atambolaki na Galile mobimba; azalaki koteya na bandako na bango ya mayangani mpe kobengana milimo mabe.
And He went preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Moto moko na maba apusanaki pene na Yesu, afukamaki mpe asengaki na Yesu: — Soki olingi, komisa ngai peto.
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 Yesu ayokelaki ye mawa, atandaki loboko na Ye, asimbaki ye mpe alobaki: — Nalingi ete ezala bongo, koma peto.
and Jesus, being moved with compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him, and saith unto Him, I will;
42 Mbala moko, maba elongwaki na nzoto ya mobeli mpe akomaki peto.
be thou healed: and as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed.
43 Mbala moko, Yesu azongisaki ye mpe akebisaki ye:
And he gave him a strict charge, and immediately dismissed him,
44 — Yoka Ngai malamu, koyebisa likambo oyo na moto moko te; kasi kende komilakisa epai ya Nganga-Nzambe mpe pesa, mpo na kopetolama na yo, likabo oyo Moyize akataki lokola mobeko mpo ete ezala litatoli na miso na bango ete obiki.
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 Kasi tango kaka abimaki, abandaki koloba mpe kopanza sango. Mpo na yango, Yesu azalaki lisusu te kokoka kokota kati na bingumba na miso ya bato nyonso; kasi akomaki kovanda na libanda ya bingumba, na bisika oyo ebombama. Nzokande, bato bazalaki kaka kowuta bipai na bipai mpo na koya epai na Ye.
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.
