Maluko 1
1 Wenuwu ndi utumbula wa Lilovi la Bwina la Yesu Kilisitu, Mwana wa Chapanga.
THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 Yatumbwili ngati chaalotili Isaya mweavi mlota wa Chapanga, “Yuwanila, Chapanga ajovili, ‘Nikumtuma mjumbi wangu akulongolelayi, kukutendelekela njila yaku.’
as it is written in the prophets; “Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, he shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 Mundu mmonga ijova kwa lwami luvaha kulugangatu, ‘Mumtendekela Bambu njila yaki, mgolosayi pala peibwela kupita!’”
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait.”
4 Yohani Mbatizaji atamayi kulugangatu, akavakokosela vandu na kuvabatiza, akavajovela, “Mleka kumbudila Chapanga na mubatiziwa na Chapanga yati akuvalekekesa kumbudila kwinu.”
John was baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 Vandu vamahele kuhuma pamulima woha wa ku Yudea na kumuji wa Yelusalemu vahambili kumuyuwanila Yohani, vayidakili kuvya vambudili Chapanga, namwene avabatizi mumfuleni Yoludani.
And all the country of Judea went out to him, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Yohani awalili nyula zezatenganizwi kwa mangoma ga hinyama yeikemiwa ngamiya, akungi mkungi wa chikumba muchiwunu, alili mambalanguli na wuchi wa kudahi.
Now John was clothed with a camel’s hair garment, and a girdle of leather about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
7 Ndi akakokosa akajova, “Mweibwela hinu naha mumbele yangu ana makakala kuliku nene. Nene nakuganikiwa hati kugundama kuwopola nyosi za champali zaki.
And he preached, saying, One mightier than I is coming after me, the string of whose shoes I am not worthy, stooping down, to unloose.
8 Nene nikuvabatiza kwa manji, nambu mwene alavabatiza kwa Mpungu Msopi wa Chapanga.”
I indeed baptise you with water; but he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost.
9 Magono genago, Yesu abwelili kuhuma ku Nazaleti, muji wewavi ku Galilaya na akabatiziwa na Yohani mumfuleni Yoludani.
And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan.
10 Yesu pahumili mumanji, akalola kunani kwa Chapanga kudindwiki, na Mpungu Msopi ihelela panani yaki ngati ngunda.
And immediately on going up from the water, he saw the heavens divided by a chasm, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:
11 Lwami lwa Chapanga lukayuwanika kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, lukajova, “Veve ndi Mwana wa chiganu changu mweniganisiwi nayu.”
and a voice came from heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
12 Bahapo Mpungu Msopi akamlongosa kuhamba kulugangatu,
And immediately the Spirit impelled him to go into the wilderness.
13 akatama kwenuko magono alobaini, kuni ilingiwa na Setani. Nambu avi pamonga na hinyama ya mdahi, na vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vakavya kumtangatila.
And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministred unto him.
14 Yohani peakungiwi muchifungu, Yesu akahamba ku Galilaya kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Chapanga.
But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God:
15 Akajova, “Lukumbi luhikili, Unkosi wa Chapanga uhegelili, hinu mleka kumbudila Chapanga na kusadika Lilovi la Bwina!”
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draweth nigh: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Yesu peapitayi mumhana ya nyanja Galilaya avaweni valova somba vavili. Avi Simoni na mlongo waki Andelea valovayi somba kwa ngwanda zavi mumanji.
And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
17 Yesu akavajovela, “Munilandayi, na nene yati nikuvapela lihengu la kuvaleta vandu kwangu ngati chemwilova somba.”
And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will appoint you to be fishers of men:
18 Bahapo ndi vakazileka ngwanda zavi vakamulanda.
and immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
19 Yesu peahegalili cha palongolo akavalola Yohani na mlongo waki Yakobo vana va Zebedayo vavi muwatu wavi vatengeneza ngwanda zavi.
And going from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and others in the vessel mending the nets.
20 Bahapo Yesu akavakemela, ndi vakamleka dadi wavi Zebedayo na vahenga lihengu vevavi muwatu, vakamulanda Yesu.
And immediately he called them: and leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hirelings, they went after him.
21 Yesu na vawuliwa vaki vakahamba kumuji wa Kapelanaumu. Ligono la Kupumulila palahikili, Yesu akayingila munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, akatumbula kuvawula malovi ga Chapanga.
And they entered into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath going into the synagogue, he taught.
22 Vandu voha vevamuyuwini vakakangaswa neju namuna ya kuwula kwaki, muni awula lepi ngati Vawula va Malagizu, nambu awulayi ngati mundu mweavi na uhotola.
And they were struck with astonishment at his doctrine; for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Ndi lukumbi lulalula, mundu mweatalaliwi na mizuka avi munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi vakaywanga,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 akajova, “Yesu wa ku Nazaleti, ukutiganila kyani tete? Ubweli kutikomakesa? Nikumanyili veve ndi yani, veve ndi Wamsopi wa Chapanga!”
saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Yesu akauhakalila mzuka wula. Akaujovela, “Guna, muwuka mundu uyu!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.
26 Mzuka wula ukamnyugusa mundu yula kwa makakala kuni ukavembeneka kwa lwami luvaha, ukamuwuka mundu yula.
And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Vandu voha vakakangasa neju na kukotana, “Nakugalola mambu ngati aga? Chakaka mawuliwu aga gana uhotola! Mundu mwenuyu ihotola hati kuvinga mizuka mihakau na yene yeyidakila.”
And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?
28 Kangi malovi gakumvala Yesu gakadandasika kanyata pamuji woha ku Galilaya.
And there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about.
29 Yesu na vawuliwa vaki Yakobo na Yohani, vakawuka munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi vakahamba pamonga kunyumba ya Simoni na Andelea.
Then straitway going out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Mkohanu waki Simoni agonili palusongwani ndava alwalayi neju. Yesu pahikili pala ndi kanyata vakamjovela utamu wa mau yula.
But Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her.
31 Yesu akamhambila mau yula, akamkamula chiwoko akamuyinula. Ndi utamu ula ukamleka, akatumbula kuvatelekela.
And he came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she waited upon them.
32 Kimihi, palatipimi lilanga vandu vamuletili Yesu vatamu na vandu vevatalaliwi na mizuka voha.
But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs.
33 Vandu vamahele va muji wula vakalundimana kuvala ya mlyangu.
And the whole city was gathered together about the door;
34 Namwene akavalamisa vandu vamahele vevalwalai matamu ndalindali, ayivingili mizuka yamahele yeyavatalali vandu, nambu nakuyileka mizuka yijova chindu muni yamanyili mwene ndi yani.
and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him.
35 Chilau yaki hambakucha, Yesu akahamba kuchiyepela akatumbula kumuyupa Chapanga.
And very early (the night being far advanced towards morning) rising up, he went forth, and retired into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 Ndi Simoni na vayaki vakahamba kumlonda.
And Simon, and those who were with him, eagerly pursued him;
37 Pevamuweni vakamjovela, “Vandu voha vakukulonda.”
and when they had found him, they say unto him, All men are inquiring after thee.
38 Yesu akavayangula, “Tihamba na mumiji yingi ya papipi nikakokosayi na kwenuko mewa muni nibweli ndava yeniyo.”
And he said unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for unto this purpose came I forth.
39 Hinu akahamba pandu poha pa Galilaya akakokosa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kuyivinga mizuka.
And he was preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Ligono limonga mundu mmonga mweavi na mabudi, amhambalili Yesu, akafugama, akamuyupa, “Ngati wigana uhotola kuninyambisa.”
And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Yesu akamhengela lipyana akatalambula chiwoko na kumpamisa, akamjovela, “Nigana, unyambasikayi!”
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed.
42 Bahapo mabudi gakamuwuka mundu yula akalama.
And as he spake, the leprosy instantly departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Kangi Yesu akamjovela, ahamba kanyata na kumlagiza,
And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away;
44 “Yuwanila, kotoka kumjovela mundu yoyoha lijambu lenili. Nambu uhamba ukajilangisa kwa Mteta na ukawusa luteta ndava ya kulama kwaku, ngati chehamwili Musa kulangisa kuvya ulamili.”
and said to him, Take care, that thou speak not a word to any man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, what Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45 Nambu mundu yula akahamba, akatumbula kudandaula malovi gala pandi zoha. Ndava yeniyo, hati Yesu nakuhotola kuyingila pamuji wowoha hotohoto, ndi yamuganili kutama kuchiyepela. Pamonga na genago vandu vamuhambalili kuhuma kila upandi.
But he going out, began to proclaim it much, and to publish abroad an account of it, so that he could no more openly come into the city; but was without in desert places; and they came to him from all parts of the country.
