Maluko 1
1 Wenuwu ndi utumbula wa Lilovi la Bwina la Yesu Kilisitu, Mwana wa Chapanga.
A beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, 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 —“Take note, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.”
3 Mundu mmonga ijova kwa lwami luvaha kulugangatu, ‘Mumtendekela Bambu njila yaki, mgolosayi pala peibwela kupita!’”
“A voice calling out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!’”—
4 Yohani Mbatizaji atamayi kulugangatu, akavakokosela vandu na kuvabatiza, akavajovela, “Mleka kumbudila Chapanga na mubatiziwa na Chapanga yati akuvalekekesa kumbudila kwinu.”
John started baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness 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.
Well, the whole Judean countryside and the Jerusalemites started going out to him, and were all being baptized by him in the Jordan River, 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 camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist; and he was eating 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 was proclaiming: “After me my Superior is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 Nene nikuvabatiza kwa manji, nambu mwene alavabatiza kwa Mpungu Msopi wa Chapanga.”
I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.”
9 Magono genago, Yesu abwelili kuhuma ku Nazaleti, muji wewavi ku Galilaya na akabatiziwa na Yohani mumfuleni Yoludani.
Well it happened in those days that Jesus came from Natsareth 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 immediately upon coming up from the water He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like 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 the heavens: “You are my Son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased!”
12 Bahapo Mpungu Msopi akamlongosa kuhamba kulugangatu,
Immediately the Spirit impelled Him 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 there in the wilderness forty days being tested by Satan, and was with the wild animals; and the angels were ministering to Him.
14 Yohani peakungiwi muchifungu, Yesu akahamba ku Galilaya kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Chapanga.
Now after John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming 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 has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has approached. Repent and believe in 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.
Then, as He was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, of Simon, casting a circular net onto the water, for they were fishermen.
17 Yesu akavajovela, “Munilandayi, na nene yati nikuvapela lihengu la kuvaleta vandu kwangu ngati chemwilova somba.”
So Jesus said to them: “Come, follow me and I will turn you into fishers of men.”
18 Bahapo ndi vakazileka ngwanda zavi vakamulanda.
At once they left their nets and 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 there a little ways He saw James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John; they were in their boat mending their nets.
20 Bahapo Yesu akavakemela, ndi vakamleka dadi wavi Zebedayo na vahenga lihengu vevavi muwatu, vakamulanda Yesu.
Right away He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the 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.
Then they went into Capernaum. The very next Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
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 kept on being amazed at His teaching, because He was teaching them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
23 Ndi lukumbi lulalula, mundu mweatalaliwi na mizuka avi munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi vakaywanga,
Now there was a man in their synagogue 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: “Hey, what do you want with us, Jesus Natsarene?! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 Yesu akauhakalila mzuka wula. Akaujovela, “Guna, muwuka mundu uyu!”
So Jesus rebuked him saying: “Shut up and get out of him!”
26 Mzuka wula ukamnyugusa mundu yula kwa makakala kuni ukavembeneka kwa lwami luvaha, ukamuwuka mundu yula.
The unclean spirit, convulsing him 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 all were astounded, so that they questioned among themselves, saying: “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? Because with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 Kangi malovi gakumvala Yesu gakadandasika kanyata pamuji woha ku Galilaya.
So His fame spread directly into the whole surrounding area of Galilee.
29 Yesu na vawuliwa vaki Yakobo na Yohani, vakawuka munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi vakahamba pamonga kunyumba ya Simoni na Andelea.
Immediately upon exiting the synagogue they went 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.
Simon's mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, so without delay they told Him about her.
31 Yesu akamhambila mau yula, akamkamula chiwoko akamuyinula. Ndi utamu ula ukamleka, akatumbula kuvatelekela.
So He went and grasping her hand lifted her up; immediately the fever left her and she began to serve them.
32 Kimihi, palatipimi lilanga vandu vamuletili Yesu vatamu na vandu vevatalaliwi na mizuka voha.
That evening, when the sun had set, they started bringing to Him all who were sick and the demonized.
33 Vandu vamahele va muji wula vakalundimana kuvala ya mlyangu.
So much so that the whole town was gathered 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 who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew He was Messiah.
35 Chilau yaki hambakucha, Yesu akahamba kuchiyepela akatumbula kumuyupa Chapanga.
Now very early, still night, He got up, slipped out, and went off to a solitary place, where He was praying.
36 Ndi Simoni na vayaki vakahamba kumlonda.
Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
37 Pevamuweni vakamjovela, “Vandu voha vakukulonda.”
and upon finding Him they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 Yesu akavayangula, “Tihamba na mumiji yingi ya papipi nikakokosayi na kwenuko mewa muni nibweli ndava yeniyo.”
But He said to them: “Let us go to the neighboring towns, so I can preach there also; that is why I have come.”
39 Hinu akahamba pandu poha pa Galilaya akakokosa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kuyivinga mizuka.
He was constantly preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and also casting out demons.
40 Ligono limonga mundu mmonga mweavi na mabudi, amhambalili Yesu, akafugama, akamuyupa, “Ngati wigana uhotola kuninyambisa.”
A leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling before Him and saying to Him, “If you want to, you are able to cleanse me.”
41 Yesu akamhengela lipyana akatalambula chiwoko na kumpamisa, akamjovela, “Nigana, unyambasikayi!”
So being moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to; be cleansed!”
42 Bahapo mabudi gakamuwuka mundu yula akalama.
And when He said this, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 Kangi Yesu akamjovela, ahamba kanyata na kumlagiza,
And He sent him away at once, sternly warning him,
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.”
by saying: “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things that Moses commanded, as 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.
However he went out and began to proclaim it freely, spreading the news, so that He was no longer able to enter a town openly, but remained outside in deserted places; yet they kept coming to Him from all over.
