Maliko 1
1 Ici ecitatiko ca Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Yesu Klistu, Mwanendi Lesa.
A beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God!
2 Walatatika mbuli ncewalalembwa mulibuku lya Yesaya mushinshimi, Lesa walambeti, “Ninkatume mutumwa wakame pantangu pakobe, uyo eti akabambe nshila yakobe,
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 Pali liswi lya muntu labilikishinga mu cinyika limbangeti, Bambani mukwakwa mwakupita Mwami, Lulamikani nshila njoti akapitemo.”
“A voice calling out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!’”—
4 Neco, Yohane walashika mucinyika kakambauka nekubatisha bantu. Walambila bantu eti, “Shiyani bwipishi mubatishiwe, kayi Lesa namulekelele bwipishi bwenu.”
John started baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 Neco, bantu bangi bekala mu cimpansha ca Yudeya ne mu Yelusalemu balaya kuli Yohane akunyumfwa. Abo balikulyambilila bwipishi bwabo walababatisha mu mulonga wa Yolodano.
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 Yohane walikufwala mwinjila wa bweya bwa ngamila, kayi ne lamba wa cipaya mubukome. Byakulya byakendi byalikuba bikobo ne bwiki bwamucisuwa.
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 Walikukambauketi, “Panyuma pakame, palesanga ukute ngofu kupita shakame. Ame nkandelela kukotameti nsungulule ntambo sha nkwabilo shakendi.
And he was proclaiming: “After me my Superior is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 Ame ndamubatishanga ne menshi, nsombi nendi nakamubatishenga ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.”
9 Paliya kupita masuba angi, Yesu walafuma ku Nasaleti mucimpansha ca Galileya. Walabatishiwa ne Yohane mu mulonga wa Yolodano.
Well it happened in those days that Jesus came from Natsareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Mpwalikufuma mu menshi, walabona kwilu kwalacaluka, kayi Mushimu Uswepa waleseti nkulimba nekwikala palyendiye.
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 Popelapo palanyumfwika liswi kwilu lyakwambeti, “Obe njobe Mwaname ngondayandishisha, ndakondwa muli njobe.”
And a Voice came from the heavens: “You are my Son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased!”
12 Popelapo Mushimu Uswepa walapesheti enga mucinyika.
Immediately the Spirit impelled Him into the wilderness.
13 Walekalako masuba makumi ana, kasunkwa ne Satana. Walikuba pakati pa banyama, nsombi bangelo balikumunyamfwilisha.
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 Pacindi Yohane mpwalabikwa mujele, panyuma pakendi Yesu walaya ku Galileya kuya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa Lesa.
Now after John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
15 Walikwambeti, “Cindi cilashiki, Bwami bwa Lesa bulaseng'ene pepi! Kamulapani, kayi kamushomani Mulumbe Waina.”
and saying: “The time has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has approached. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
16 Nomba pacindi ncalikwenda mu mbali mwa lwenje lwa Galileya, walabona Shimoni ne Ndileya pabukwabo, kabawala tombe mulwenje, pakwinga balikuba basulishi banswi.
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 Neco Yesu walabambileti, “Kamunkonkani, ninkamwiyishe kuba basulishi ba bantu.”
So Jesus said to them: “Come, follow me and I will turn you into fishers of men.”
18 Popelapo balashiya tombe twabo ne kumukonkela.
At once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Kayi mpwalendako pang'ana, walabona Jemusi ne Yohane banabendi Sebedayo, mu bwato kababamba tombe twabo.
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 Naboyo pacindi copeleco Yesu walabakuwa. Balashiya mushali wabo Sebedayo mubwato pamo ne basebenshi, balo balaya pamo ne Yesu.
Right away He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men they followed Him.
21 Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi balaya ku Kapelenao, mpobwalashika busuba bwa Sabata bwakupumwina, Yesu walengila mung'anda yakupaililamo ne kutatika kwiyisha.
Then they went into Capernaum. The very next Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
22 Nomba bantu balamunyumfwa ncalikwiyisha balakankamana, pakwinga nkalikwiyisheti beshikwiyisha ba milawo ya Mose, nsombi nendi walikwiyisha ne ngofu sha bwendeleshi.
And they kept on being amazed at His teaching, because He was teaching them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
23 Pacindi copeleco muntu wekatwa ne mushimu waipa, neye walesa mu ng'anda yakupaililamo, muntuyo walabilikisheti,
Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 “Tukute mulandu cini kuli njamwe Yesu wa ku Nasaleti? Sena waleshila kutushina? Ame ndimwinshi, njamwe Waswepa wa Lesa.”
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 Nomba Yesu walaucancilila mushimu waipa ne kuwambileti “Komwena, pula mu muntuyu.”
So Jesus rebuked him saying: “Shut up and get out of him!”
26 Panyuma pa kumuwishila panshi kanyukuma, mushimu waipa walabilikisha cangofu, ne kufumamo popelapo.
The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Bantu bonse balakankamana ne kutatika kwipushana pa lwabo bene, “Inga ici nicani? Cakubinga ni ciyisho censu cangofu! Ha, lacancililinga ne mishimu yaipa yonse mwangofu, nayo ilamunyumfwilinga!”
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 Neco, impuwo yakendi lwalamwaikila bwangu mu misena yonse ya mu cimpansha ca Galileya.
So His fame spread directly into the whole surrounding area of Galilee.
29 Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi pamo ne Jemusi ne Yohane, mpobalapula mung'anda yakupaililamo, balaya kung'anda ya Shimoni ne Ndileya.
Immediately upon exiting the synagogue they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Kumakwendi Shimoni batukashi balikuba bona kabanyumfwa mubili kulungula, Yesu mpwalashika mwakufwambana balamwinshibisha.
Simon's mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, so without delay they told Him about her.
31 Yesu walaya mpobalikuba bona walabekata kucikasa ne kubapundusha. Popelapo bulwashi bwalapwa, balatatika kubabambila cakulya.
So He went and grasping her hand lifted her up; immediately the fever left her and she began to serve them.
32 Mansailo, lisuba mpolyalebila, bantu balatatika kumuletela Yesu balwashi bonse, ne abo bekatwa ne mishimu yaipa.
That evening, when the sun had set, they started bringing to Him all who were sick and the demonized.
33 Bantu bonse bamu munshi balabungana pa lubansa.
So much so that the whole town was gathered at the door,
34 Yesu walabasengula balikukolwa malwashi apusana pusana, walapulisha mishimu yaipa, kayi nkali kwisuminisha kwambapo, pakwinga yaliku mwinshiba.
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 Kumaca kapacili pashipuluka, Yesu walapunduka mung'anda ne kuya kumusena kwabula bantu nkwalaya kupaila.
Now very early, still night, He got up, slipped out, and went off to a solitary place, where He was praying.
36 Nomba Shimoni ne banendi balatatika kumulangaula.
Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
37 Mpobalamucana balambeti “Bantu bonse balamulangaulunga.”
and upon finding Him they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 Nomba Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Katuyani kumbi ku minshi ili pepi, kwambeti enkambaukeko, pakwinga encondaleshila.”
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 Kayi walaya mu manda abo akupaililamo mu Galileya monse, kaya kukambauka ne kupulisha mishimu yaipa.
He was constantly preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and also casting out demons.
40 Shimankuntu walesa kuli Yesu ne kumusuntamina ne kumusengeti, “Nakamuyanda, inga munswepesha.”
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 walepilwa moyo neco, walatandabula cikasa cakendi ne kumwikata ne kumwambileti, “Ee ndayandishishinga, swepesha.”
So being moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to; be cleansed!”
42 Pacindi copeleco, mankuntu alashimangana, walaswepa.
And when He said this, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 Nomba Yesu walamwambileti enga kwabo, ne kumucenjesheti,
And He sent him away at once, sternly warning him,
44 “Konyumfwa, kotaya wambile muntu naba umo sobwe, nsombi uye uliboneshe kuli Shimilumbo, ne kubenga milumbo ilayandikinga mu milawo ya Mose pacebo ca kuswepeshewa kwakobe kwambeti kube bukamboni kubantu.”
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 Nomba mpwalafumapo, nendi walatatika kwambila uliyense ne kumwaya makani mumisena ingi, neco Yesu calamwalila kwingila mu minshi mwakubonekela. Nsombi walapitilisha kwikala enka ku musena kwabula bantu. Nikukabeco bantu balikabesa nkwalikuba kufuma mu mbasu shapusana pusana.
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.
