Malako 1
1 Tala ebandeli ya Sango Malamu ya Yesu-Klisto, Mwana na Nzambe,
A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, 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 hath been written in the prophets, 'Lo, 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! › »
'A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,' —
4 Boye Yoane azalaki kati na esobe mpe azalaki kosakola: « Bobongola mitema na bino, bozwa libatisi, mpe Nzambe akolimbisa masumu na bino! »
John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to 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 there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they 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 camel's hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
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.
and he proclaimed, saying, 'He doth come — who is mightier than I — after me, of whom I am not worthy — having stooped down — to loose the latchet of his sandals;
8 Ngai nazali kobatisa bino na mayi, kasi Ye akobatisa bino kati na Molimo Mosantu. »
I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall 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 it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;
10 Tango kaka abimaki na mayi, amonaki Likolo kofungwama mpe Molimo kokitela Ye lokola ebenga.
and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;
11 Mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta na Likolo: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, nasepelaka na Yo mingi! »
and a voice came out of the heavens, 'Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'
12 Mbala moko, Molimo amemaki Yesu kati na esobe
And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to 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, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.
14 Tango babwakaki Yoane kati na boloko, Yesu akendeki na Galile epai wapi azalaki koteya Sango Malamu ya Nzambe.
And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,
15 Azalaki koloba: « Tango ekoki, mpe Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekomi pene. Bobongola mitema mpe bondima Sango Malamu. »
and saying — 'Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'
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, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
17 Yesu alobaki na bango: « Bolanda Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bino balobi bato. »
and Jesus said to them, 'Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;'
18 Mbala moko, batikaki minyama na bango mpe balandaki Yesu.
and immediately, having left their nets, they 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 having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
20 Mbala moko, Yesu abengaki bango. Batikaki Zebede, tata na bango, kati na bwato elongo na basali na ye mpe balandaki Yesu.
and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after 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 go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,
22 Bato bakamwaki makasi malakisi na Ye, pamba te ateyaki na bokonzi oyo balakisi ya Mobeko bazangaki.
and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having 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 unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 — Yesu ya Nazareti, olingi nini? Oyei nde koboma biso? Nayebi Yo malamu, ozali Motindami mpe Mosantu ya Nzambe!
saying, 'Away! what — to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known 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 silenced, and come forth out of him,'
26 Molimo mabe eningisaki moto yango makasi mpe ebimaki na koganga.
and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth 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 as to reason among themselves, saying, 'What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!'
28 Mbala moko, sango na tina na Ye epanzanaki kati na etuka mobimba ya Galile.
And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
29 Tango Yesu abimaki na ndako ya mayangani, akendeki elongo na Jake mpe Yoane na ndako ya Simona mpe Andre.
And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
30 Nzokande, mama-bokilo ya Simona azalaki ya kolala mpo ete azalaki kobela fievele; mbala moko, bapesaki Ye sango.
and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about 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 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 Wana moyi elalaki mpe pokwa eyaki, bamemelaki Yesu babeli nyonso mpe bato oyo bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya milimo mabe.
And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,
33 Bato nyonso ya engumba bayaki kosangana liboso ya ekuke ya ndako;
and the whole city was gathered together near 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 who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because 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 very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
36 Simona elongo na baninga na ye bakendeki koluka Yesu.
and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
37 Tango bamonaki Ye, balobaki na Ye: — Bato nyonso bazali koluka Yo.
and having found him, they say to him, — 'All do seek 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 to them, 'We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.'
39 Boye, atambolaki na Galile mobimba; azalaki koteya na bandako na bango ya mayangani mpe kobengana milimo mabe.
And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
40 Moto moko na maba apusanaki pene na Yesu, afukamaki mpe asengaki na Yesu: — Soki olingi, komisa ngai peto.
and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him — 'If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.'
41 Yesu ayokelaki ye mawa, atandaki loboko na Ye, asimbaki ye mpe alobaki: — Nalingi ete ezala bongo, koma peto.
And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, 'I will; be thou cleansed;'
42 Mbala moko, maba elongwaki na nzoto ya mobeli mpe akomaki peto.
and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Mbala moko, Yesu azongisaki ye mpe akebisaki ye:
And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
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 to him, 'See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, 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.
And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
