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 Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.
3 Mundu mmonga ijova kwa lwami luvaha kulugangatu, ‘Mumtendekela Bambu njila yaki, mgolosayi pala peibwela kupita!’”
A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
4 Yohani Mbatizaji atamayi kulugangatu, akavakokosela vandu na kuvabatiza, akavajovela, “Mleka kumbudila Chapanga na mubatiziwa na Chapanga yati akuvalekekesa kumbudila kwinu.”
John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto 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 there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of 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.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate 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: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8 Nene nikuvabatiza kwa manji, nambu mwene alavabatiza kwa Mpungu Msopi wa Chapanga.”
I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize 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 of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Yesu pahumili mumanji, akalola kunani kwa Chapanga kudindwiki, na Mpungu Msopi ihelela panani yaki ngati ngunda.
And forthwith coming up out of he water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him.
11 Lwami lwa Chapanga lukayuwanika kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, lukajova, “Veve ndi Mwana wa chiganu changu mweniganisiwi nayu.”
And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
12 Bahapo Mpungu Msopi akamlongosa kuhamba kulugangatu,
And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.
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 desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted by Satan; and he was with beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
14 Yohani peakungiwi muchifungu, Yesu akahamba ku Galilaya kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Chapanga.
And after that 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 accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: 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 passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets 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 make you to become 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 on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:
20 Bahapo Yesu akavakemela, ndi vakamleka dadi wavi Zebedayo na vahenga lihengu vevavi muwatu, vakamulanda Yesu.
And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed 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 Capharnaum, and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.
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 astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, 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: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Yesu akauhakalila mzuka wula. Akaujovela, “Guna, muwuka mundu uyu!”
And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.
26 Mzuka wula ukamnyugusa mundu yula kwa makakala kuni ukavembeneka kwa lwami luvaha, ukamuwuka mundu yula.
And the unclean spirit tearing him, and crying out with a loud voice, went 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 amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? what is this new doctrine? for with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 Kangi malovi gakumvala Yesu gakadandasika kanyata pamuji woha ku Galilaya.
And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.
29 Yesu na vawuliwa vaki Yakobo na Yohani, vakawuka munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi vakahamba pamonga kunyumba ya Simoni na Andelea.
And immediately 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.
And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.
31 Yesu akamhambila mau yula, akamkamula chiwoko akamuyinula. Ndi utamu ula ukamleka, akatumbula kuvatelekela.
And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 Kimihi, palatipimi lilanga vandu vamuletili Yesu vatamu na vandu vevatalaliwi na mizuka voha.
And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.
33 Vandu vamahele va muji wula vakalundimana kuvala ya mlyangu.
And all the city was gathered together at 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 that were troubled with divers diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.
35 Chilau yaki hambakucha, Yesu akahamba kuchiyepela akatumbula kumuyupa Chapanga.
And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.
36 Ndi Simoni na vayaki vakahamba kumlonda.
And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.
37 Pevamuweni vakamjovela, “Vandu voha vakukulonda.”
And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.
38 Yesu akavayangula, “Tihamba na mumiji yingi ya papipi nikakokosayi na kwenuko mewa muni nibweli ndava yeniyo.”
And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.
39 Hinu akahamba pandu poha pa Galilaya akakokosa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kuyivinga mizuka.
And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in 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 a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Yesu akamhengela lipyana akatalambula chiwoko na kumpamisa, akamjovela, “Nigana, unyambasikayi!”
And Jesus having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand; and touching him, saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.
42 Bahapo mabudi gakamuwuka mundu yula akalama.
And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 Kangi Yesu akamjovela, ahamba kanyata na kumlagiza,
And he strictly charged him, and forthwith 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 he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to 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 being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places: and they flocked to him from all sides.
