Maluko 1
1 Wenuwu ndi utumbula wa Lilovi la Bwina la Yesu Kilisitu, Mwana wa Chapanga.
The 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 Isaiah the Prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before thee, who shall prepare thy way:"
3 Mundu mmonga ijova kwa lwami luvaha kulugangatu, ‘Mumtendekela Bambu njila yaki, mgolosayi pala peibwela kupita!’”
"The voice of one proclaiming in the wilderness, Prepare a way for the Lord, make for him a straight passage:"
4 Yohani Mbatizaji atamayi kulugangatu, akavakokosela vandu na kuvabatiza, akavajovela, “Mleka kumbudila Chapanga na mubatiziwa na Chapanga yati akuvalekekesa kumbudila kwinu.”
thus came John immersing in the wilderness, and publishing the immersion of reformation 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, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, resorted to him, and were immersed 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's clothing was of camel's hair, tied around his waist with a leather girdle: and he lived upon 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 proclaimed, saying, One mightier than I comes after me, whose shoe-latchet I am unworthy to stoop down and untie.
8 Nene nikuvabatiza kwa manji, nambu mwene alavabatiza kwa Mpungu Msopi wa Chapanga.”
I, indeed, have immersed you in water; but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
9 Magono genago, Yesu abwelili kuhuma ku Nazaleti, muji wewavi ku Galilaya na akabatiziwa na Yohani mumfuleni Yoludani.
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee to the Jordan, and was immersed by John.
10 Yesu pahumili mumanji, akalola kunani kwa Chapanga kudindwiki, na Mpungu Msopi ihelela panani yaki ngati ngunda.
As soon as he arose out of the water, he saw the sky part asunder, and the Spirit descend upon him like a dove.
11 Lwami lwa Chapanga lukayuwanika kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, lukajova, “Veve ndi Mwana wa chiganu changu mweniganisiwi nayu.”
And a voice from heaven, which said, Thou art my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight.
12 Bahapo Mpungu Msopi akamlongosa kuhamba kulugangatu,
Immediately after this, the spirit conveyed 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 continued in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and was among the wild beasts; and the heavenly messengers ministered to him.
14 Yohani peakungiwi muchifungu, Yesu akahamba ku Galilaya kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Chapanga.
But after John's imprisonment, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good tidings of the Reign of God.
15 Akajova, “Lukumbi luhikili, Unkosi wa Chapanga uhegelili, hinu mleka kumbudila Chapanga na kusadika Lilovi la Bwina!”
The time, he said, is accomplished, the Reign of God approaches; reform, and believe the good tidings.
16 Yesu peapitayi mumhana ya nyanja Galilaya avaweni valova somba vavili. Avi Simoni na mlongo waki Andelea valovayi somba kwa ngwanda zavi mumanji.
Then walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting a drag net into the sea, for they were fishers.
17 Yesu akavajovela, “Munilandayi, na nene yati nikuvapela lihengu la kuvaleta vandu kwangu ngati chemwilova somba.”
Jesus said to them, Come with me, and I will cause you to be fishers of men.
18 Bahapo ndi vakazileka ngwanda zavi vakamulanda.
Immediately 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.
Passing on a little, and seeing James, son of Zebedee, with John his brother, who were mending their nets in a bark,
20 Bahapo Yesu akavakemela, ndi vakamleka dadi wavi Zebedayo na vahenga lihengu vevavi muwatu, vakamulanda Yesu.
he immediately called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the bark with the hired servants, they accompanied 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 went to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he repaired directly to the synagogue, and instructed the people,
22 Vandu voha vevamuyuwini vakakangaswa neju namuna ya kuwula kwaki, muni awula lepi ngati Vawula va Malagizu, nambu awulayi ngati mundu mweavi na uhotola.
who were filled with admiration at his manner of teaching; for he taught as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Ndi lukumbi lulalula, mundu mweatalaliwi na mizuka avi munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi vakaywanga,
Now there was in their synagogue a man possessed with an unclean spirit, who cried out,
24 akajova, “Yesu wa ku Nazaleti, ukutiganila kyani tete? Ubweli kutikomakesa? Nikumanyili veve ndi yani, veve ndi Wamsopi wa Chapanga!”
Ah! Jesus of Nazareth, what hast thou to do with us? 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!”
Jesus rebuking him, said, Be silent, and come out of him.
26 Mzuka wula ukamnyugusa mundu yula kwa makakala kuni ukavembeneka kwa lwami luvaha, ukamuwuka mundu yula.
Then the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions; and, raising loud cried, 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.”
at which they were all so amazed, that they asked one another, What does this mean? For he commands with authority even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 Kangi malovi gakumvala Yesu gakadandasika kanyata pamuji woha ku Galilaya.
And thenceforth his fame spread through all the region of Galilee.
29 Yesu na vawuliwa vaki Yakobo na Yohani, vakawuka munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi vakahamba pamonga kunyumba ya Simoni na Andelea.
As soon as they were come out of the synagogue, they went with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew,
30 Mkohanu waki Simoni agonili palusongwani ndava alwalayi neju. Yesu pahikili pala ndi kanyata vakamjovela utamu wa mau yula.
where Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, of which they immediately acquainted Jesus.
31 Yesu akamhambila mau yula, akamkamula chiwoko akamuyinula. Ndi utamu ula ukamleka, akatumbula kuvatelekela.
And he came, and taking her by the hand, raised her; instantly the fever left her, and she entertained them.
32 Kimihi, palatipimi lilanga vandu vamuletili Yesu vatamu na vandu vevatalaliwi na mizuka voha.
In the evening, after sunset, they brought to him all the sick, and the demoniacs;
33 Vandu vamahele va muji wula vakalundimana kuvala ya mlyangu.
the whole city being assembled 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 persons affected with various diseases, and expelled many demons, whom he permitted not to speak, because they knew him.
35 Chilau yaki hambakucha, Yesu akahamba kuchiyepela akatumbula kumuyupa Chapanga.
On the morrow, having risen before dawn, he went out, and retired to a solitary place, and prayed there.
36 Ndi Simoni na vayaki vakahamba kumlonda.
And Simon and his company went in quest of him,
37 Pevamuweni vakamjovela, “Vandu voha vakukulonda.”
and having found him, said to him, Every person seeks you.
38 Yesu akavayangula, “Tihamba na mumiji yingi ya papipi nikakokosayi na kwenuko mewa muni nibweli ndava yeniyo.”
Jesus said, Let us go to the neighboring boroughs, to make proclamation there also: for I came out with this design.
39 Hinu akahamba pandu poha pa Galilaya akakokosa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kuyivinga mizuka.
Accordingly he proclaimed in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and expelled demons.
40 Ligono limonga mundu mmonga mweavi na mabudi, amhambalili Yesu, akafugama, akamuyupa, “Ngati wigana uhotola kuninyambisa.”
And a leper came to him, and on his knees entreated him, saying, If you will, you can cleanse me.
41 Yesu akamhengela lipyana akatalambula chiwoko na kumpamisa, akamjovela, “Nigana, unyambasikayi!”
Jesus had compassion, and stretching out his hand and touching him, said, I will, be you clean.
42 Bahapo mabudi gakamuwuka mundu yula akalama.
This he had no sooner uttered, than the leprosy departed from the man, and he was cleansed.
43 Kangi Yesu akamjovela, ahamba kanyata na kumlagiza,
Then Jesus strictly charging him, and dismissing 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.”
said, See you tell nothing of this to any man; but go, show yourself to the priest; and offer for your cleansing the things prescribed by Moses, that it may be notified to the people.
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 the man, as soon as he was gone, began to blaze this story, talking openly everywhere, insomuch that Jesus could no longer publicly appear in the city; but remained without in solitary places, whither the people resorted to him from all parts.
