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 am sending my messenger ahead of yoʋ, who will prepare yoʋr way before yoʋ,
3 Mundu mmonga ijova kwa lwami luvaha kulugangatu, ‘Mumtendekela Bambu njila yaki, mgolosayi pala peibwela kupita!’”
the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for 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 came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a 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.
The whole Judean countryside was going out to him, and so were the people of Jerusalem. They 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 wore a leather belt around his waist; 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.
He proclaimed, “After me comes one who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 Nene nikuvabatiza kwa manji, nambu mwene alavabatiza kwa Mpungu Msopi wa Chapanga.”
I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 Magono genago, Yesu abwelili kuhuma ku Nazaleti, muji wewavi ku Galilaya na akabatiziwa na Yohani mumfuleni Yoludani.
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.
Immediately as he was coming up from the water, he saw the heavens being split apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
11 Lwami lwa Chapanga lukayuwanika kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, lukajova, “Veve ndi Mwana wa chiganu changu mweniganisiwi nayu.”
Then a voice came from heaven: “Yoʋ are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
12 Bahapo Mpungu Msopi akamlongosa kuhamba kulugangatu,
Immediately the Spirit drove him out 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 for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
14 Yohani peakungiwi muchifungu, Yesu akahamba ku Galilaya kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Chapanga.
After John was put in prison, Jesus went to 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 has drawn near. 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.
As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother (that is, Simon's brother) casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Yesu akavajovela, “Munilandayi, na nene yati nikuvapela lihengu la kuvaleta vandu kwangu ngati chemwilova somba.”
Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
18 Bahapo ndi vakazileka ngwanda zavi vakamulanda.
So they immediately 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.
Going on a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother as they were in the boat mending their nets.
20 Bahapo Yesu akavakemela, ndi vakamleka dadi wavi Zebedayo na vahenga lihengu vevavi muwatu, vakamulanda Yesu.
Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and 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.
They went to Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began teaching.
22 Vandu voha vevamuyuwini vakakangaswa neju namuna ya kuwula kwaki, muni awula lepi ngati Vawula va Malagizu, nambu awulayi ngati mundu mweavi na uhotola.
The people were astonished at his teaching, because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Ndi lukumbi lulalula, mundu mweatalaliwi na mizuka avi munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi vakaywanga,
Now in their synagogue there was a man possessed by an unclean spirit. He cried out,
24 akajova, “Yesu wa ku Nazaleti, ukutiganila kyani tete? Ubweli kutikomakesa? Nikumanyili veve ndi yani, veve ndi Wamsopi wa Chapanga!”
“Leave us alone! What do yoʋ have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have yoʋ come to destroy us? I know who yoʋ are—the Holy One of God.”
25 Yesu akauhakalila mzuka wula. Akaujovela, “Guna, muwuka mundu uyu!”
But 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.
So the unclean spirit convulsed the man and came out of him, crying out with a loud voice.
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.”
All the people were amazed so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching is this 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 the news about him immediately spread throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
29 Yesu na vawuliwa vaki Yakobo na Yohani, vakawuka munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi vakahamba pamonga kunyumba ya Simoni na Andelea.
After leaving the synagogue, they immediately went to 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.
Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her.
31 Yesu akamhambila mau yula, akamkamula chiwoko akamuyinula. Ndi utamu ula ukamleka, akatumbula kuvatelekela.
So he went over to her and raised her up, taking hold of her hand. 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.
When evening came, after the sun had set, they brought to Jesus all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
33 Vandu vamahele va muji wula vakalundimana kuvala ya mlyangu.
The whole 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 who were sick with various diseases. He also cast out many demons, but he would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.
35 Chilau yaki hambakucha, Yesu akahamba kuchiyepela akatumbula kumuyupa Chapanga.
Early the next morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus rose and departed. He went off to a desolate place and prayed there.
36 Ndi Simoni na vayaki vakahamba kumlonda.
Simon and his companions searched diligently for him,
37 Pevamuweni vakamjovela, “Vandu voha vakukulonda.”
and when they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is looking for yoʋ.”
38 Yesu akavayangula, “Tihamba na mumiji yingi ya papipi nikakokosayi na kwenuko mewa muni nibweli ndava yeniyo.”
Jesus said to them, “Let us go into the neighboring towns so that I may preach there also, for that is why I have come.”
39 Hinu akahamba pandu poha pa Galilaya akakokosa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kuyivinga mizuka.
So he was preaching in their synagogues in all of Galilee and casting out demons.
40 Ligono limonga mundu mmonga mweavi na mabudi, amhambalili Yesu, akafugama, akamuyupa, “Ngati wigana uhotola kuninyambisa.”
Then a leper came up and knelt before him, begging him, “If yoʋ are willing, yoʋ can make me clean.”
41 Yesu akamhengela lipyana akatalambula chiwoko na kumpamisa, akamjovela, “Nigana, unyambasikayi!”
Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched the man, and said to him, “I am willing; be made clean.”
42 Bahapo mabudi gakamuwuka mundu yula akalama.
When he said this, the leprosy immediately departed from the man, and he was made clean.
43 Kangi Yesu akamjovela, ahamba kanyata na kumlagiza,
Then Jesus sternly warned him and 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.”
saying to him, “Be sure not to say anything to anyone, but go show yoʋrself to the priest and offer for yoʋr cleansing what 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.
But the man went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places. Yet people were coming to him from everywhere.
