Mark 1
1 Thonono Nsamu wu mboti wu Yesu Klisto, Muana Nzambi,
This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 banga busonimina mu nkanda mbikudi Ezayi: Tala! Ndiela fidisa mvualꞌama ku ntualꞌaku, niandi wela kubika nzilꞌaku.
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.”
3 Yawu mbembo yi mutu wunyamikina mu dikanga: Lukubika nzila yi Pfumu, Luludika minsolo miandi.
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
4 Yowani wuyiza, wuba botikanga mu dikanga ayi wuba tubanga ti: “Bika lubotama mu diambu di monisa ti lubaludi mavanga; buna Nzambi wela kululemvukila mu masumu meno.”
John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
5 Batu boso baba mu zunga ki Yuda ayi batubobo baba kalanga ku Yelusalemibaba kuendanga kuidi niandi. Wuba botikanga mu nlangu Yolidani bu baba tambudilanga masumu mawu.
People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
6 Yowani wuba vuatanga minledi mivangulu mu mika mi kamela. Bosi nsinga kaba nkanganga mu luketo wuvangulu mu nkanda wu bulu. Bidiakaba ndianga: makhoko ayi niosi.
John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
7 Malongi kaba longanga mawu mama: —Fioti fisiedi malumona mutu wumosi wunkuiza ku manima mama, niandi wudutidi mu lulendo; ndisi fuana nkutu ko mu yinama mu diambu di nianguna minsinga mi zisapatu ziandi.
And he began to proclaim: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 Minu mu nlangu ndilembo kulubotikila vayi niandi mu pheve Yinlongokela kulubotikila.
I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 Mu thangu yina Yesu wuba ku Nazaleti, buala buidi mu Ngalili, wuyiza kuidi Yowani ayi niandi wumbotika mu nlangu Yolidani.
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Mu thangu kaba totuka mu nlangu, kazimbukulu Diyilu dizibukidi, Pheve Yinlongo yikuluka va niandi banga dibembi.
As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
11 Mbembo yitotuka ku Diyilu, yiwakana: —Ngeyo widi mwanꞌama wu luzolo; khini yiwombo wukumbonisanga.
And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
12 Vana vawu Pheve yituma Yesu mu kuenda ku dikanga.
At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
13 Makumaya ma bilumbu kavuandila kuna ayi kuna Satana kantotila. Wuba mvuandanga ayi bibulu bi nsitu bosi zimbasi ziba kunsadilanga.
and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
14 Bu bakanga Yowani, Yesu wuyiza ku Ngalili mu longa Nsamu wumboti wu Nzambi.
After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
15 Wuba tubanga ti: —Thangu yifueni! Kipfumu ki Nzambi kifikimini. Bika lubalula mavanga ayi luwilukila Nsamu wumboti.
“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
16 Lumbu kimosi Yesu bu kaba kuenda yendanga mu mbembele mbu wu Ngalili, wumona Simoni ayi khombꞌandi Andele banloza dikondi mu mbu, bila baba banlobi mbizi.
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Yesu wuba kamba: —Ndandakananu ayi ndiela kulukitula minlobi mi batu.
“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
18 Muna thangu beni, basia bika makondi mawu ayi banlandakana.
And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Buela kuesa fioti; wumona zaki muana Zebede ayi khombꞌandi Yowani; balembo londi makondi mu khati nlungu.
Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.
20 Vana vawu wuba tela. Basia bika dise diawu Zebede ayi bisadi biandi muna nlungu; banlandakana.
Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
21 Bayenda ku Kafalinawumi. Lumbu ki saba bu kifuana, Yesu wukota mu nzo lukutukunu ayi wutona longa.
Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
22 Basimina mu diambu di malongi mandi. Bila wuba longila mu lulendo vayi bika banga minlongi mi mina.
The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Muna nzo lukutukunu muba mutu wumosi wuba pheve yimbimbi, wutona yamikina:
Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
24 —A! Yesu muisi Nazaleti, mbi mambu tuidi beto yaku e? Wizidi mu kutubunga e? Minu ndizebi, ngeyo widi nani: widi mutu wunlongo wu Nzambi.
“What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
25 Yesu wutemina pheve yimbimbi ayi wuntumina: —Bika biyoko, totuka mu mutu wawu!
But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
26 Pheve yimbimbi yitukumuna mutu beni, yiyamikina mu mbembo yingolobosi yitotuka.
At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
27 Babo basimina ayi baba kukiyuvula bawu na bawu: —A! Diambu mbi diadi e? Talanu ndongolo yimona yinlongolo mu lulendo. Niandi wuntumina ziphevi zimbimbi ayi ziphevi beni zikuntumukina.
All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 Buna tsanguꞌandi yitembakana mu zunga kioso ki Ngalili.
And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
29 Muna thangu yina kaka, buna batumbu totuka mu nzo lukutukunu. Yesu, Zaki ayi Yowani bayenda ku nzo Simoni ayi Andele.
As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30 Nzitu wu Simoni wu nketo wuba wuleka va mbuka bila zinzangala ziba yandi. Yesu buna katumbu kota; bankamba tsangu mu diambu diandi.
Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
31 Bu kafikama, wunsimba mu koko, wuntelimisa. Zinzangala zimana, bosi weka kuba sadila.
So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 Mu masika, thangu bu yidiama, bannatina bambevo zioso ayi batu bobo baba ziphevi zimbimbi.
That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
33 Batu boso ba divula bakutakana va muelo nzo. Simoni ayi Andele.
and the whole town gathered at the door.
34 Wubelusa batu bawombo baba bimbevo bi phila mu phila ayi wukukaziphevi ziwombo zimbimbi ayi wuzikandika zibika yoluka bila zizaba Yesu niandi nani.
And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 Mu nsuka buna kukidi tombo fioti, Yesu wukotuka ayi wutotuka ku nganda, wuyenda ku buangu kisuama mu diambu di sambila.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.
36 Simoni ayi batu bobo baba yandi bantomba.
Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
37 Buna bambakula, bankamba: —Batu boso ngeyo bantomba!
and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
38 Vayi wuba vutudila: —Tuendanu kueto ku buangu kinkaka, mu mala momo mafikimini. Mfueti longa mu mala beni, bila diawu ndiyizila!
But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”
39 Buna wulonga mu zinzo ziawu zi zikhutukunu mu Ngalili dioso ayi wukuka ziphevi zimbimbi.
So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40 Mutu wumosi wuba buazi wuyiza fukimina Yesu ayi wunkamba: —Enati tidi, beki kuaku bu kumbelusa.
Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41 Yesu wummona kiadi, wunonuna koko, wunsimba ayi wunkamba: —Nyinga thidi, beluka kuaku!
Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
42 Vana vawu buazi bubotukidi, mu mutu beni, wutumbu beluka.
And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
43 Yesu wumvutula ku nzo andi bu kanlubula ti:
Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
44 —Keba, kadi kamba kadi mutu wumosi mambu mama vayi yenda kimonisa kuidi nganga Nzambi ayi yenda tambika makaba momo Moyize kavanina lutumunumu diambu di kiba kimbangi kuidi bawu ti ngeyo belukidi.
“See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
45 Vayi buna katumbu totuka; wutona yamikisa kuidi batu bosomambu moso mavangama mu niandi ayi wutembikisa tsangu beni mumo. Mu bila kioki yesu kakadila mu bibuangu bisuama. Vayi batu baba mu zindambu zioso baba kuizanga kuidi niandi.
But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.
