Mark 1
1 Thonono Nsamu wu mboti wu Yesu Klisto, Muana Nzambi,
The beginning of the Good News 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, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way";
3 Yawu mbembo yi mutu wunyamikina mu dikanga: Lukubika nzila yi Pfumu, Luludika minsolo miandi.
"The voice of one crying aloud: 'In the Desert prepare a road for the Lord: Make His highways straight.'"
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.”
So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for 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.
There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.
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.
As for John, his garment was of camel's hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and 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.
His announcement was, "There is One coming after me mightier than I--One whose sandal-strap I am unworthy to stoop down and unfasten.
8 Minu mu nlangu ndilembo kulubotikila vayi niandi mu pheve Yinlongokela kulubotikila.
I have baptized 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.
At that time 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.
and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him;
11 Mbembo yitotuka ku Diyilu, yiwakana: —Ngeyo widi mwanꞌama wu luzolo; khini yiwombo wukumbonisanga.
and a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
12 Vana vawu Pheve yituma Yesu mu kuenda ku dikanga.
At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the Desert,
13 Makumaya ma bilumbu kavuandila kuna ayi kuna Satana kantotila. Wuba mvuandanga ayi bibulu bi nsitu bosi zimbasi ziba kunsadilanga.
where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.
14 Bu bakanga Yowani, Yesu wuyiza ku Ngalili mu longa Nsamu wumboti wu Nzambi.
Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God's Good News.
15 Wuba tubanga ti: —Thangu yifueni! Kipfumu ki Nzambi kifikimini. Bika lubalula mavanga ayi luwilukila Nsamu wumboti.
"The time has fully come," He said, "and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
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.
One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.
17 Yesu wuba kamba: —Ndandakananu ayi ndiela kulukitula minlobi mi batu.
"Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."
18 Muna thangu beni, basia bika makondi mawu ayi banlandakana.
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 further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.
20 Vana vawu wuba tela. Basia bika dise diawu Zebede ayi bisadi biandi muna nlungu; banlandakana.
They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.
21 Bayenda ku Kafalinawumi. Lumbu ki saba bu kifuana, Yesu wukota mu nzo lukutukunu ayi wutona longa.
So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.
22 Basimina mu diambu di malongi mandi. Bila wuba longila mu lulendo vayi bika banga minlongi mi mina.
The people listened with amazement to His teaching--for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of the Scribes--
23 Muna nzo lukutukunu muba mutu wumosi wuba pheve yimbimbi, wutona yamikina:
when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:
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 have you to do with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--God's Holy One."
25 Yesu wutemina pheve yimbimbi ayi wuntumina: —Bika biyoko, totuka mu mutu wawu!
But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, "Silence! come out of him."
26 Pheve yimbimbi yitukumuna mutu beni, yiyamikina mu mbembo yingolobosi yitotuka.
So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.
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.
And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, "What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching--and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders and they obey him!"
28 Buna tsanguꞌandi yitembakana mu zunga kioso ki Ngalili.
And His fame spread at once everywhere in all that part of Galilee.
29 Muna thangu yina kaka, buna batumbu totuka mu nzo lukutukunu. Yesu, Zaki ayi Yowani bayenda ku nzo Simoni ayi Andele.
Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house 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.
Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.
31 Bu kafikama, wunsimba mu koko, wuntelimisa. Zinzangala zimana, bosi weka kuba sadila.
So He went to her, and taking her hand He raised her to her feet: the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.
32 Mu masika, thangu bu yidiama, bannatina bambevo zioso ayi batu bobo baba ziphevi zimbimbi.
When it was evening, after sunset people came bringing Him all who were sick and the demoniacs;
33 Batu boso ba divula bakutakana va muelo nzo. Simoni ayi Andele.
and the whole town was assembled 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.
Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing 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.
In the morning He rose early, while it was still quite dark, and leaving the house He went away to a solitary place and there prayed.
36 Simoni ayi batu bobo baba yandi bantomba.
And Simon and the others searched everywhere for Him.
37 Buna bambakula, bankamba: —Batu boso ngeyo bantomba!
When they found Him they said, "Every one 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!
"Let us go elsewhere, to the neighbouring country towns," He replied, "that I may proclaim my Message there also; because for that purpose I came from God."
39 Buna wulonga mu zinzo ziawu zi zikhutukunu mu Ngalili dioso ayi wukuka ziphevi zimbimbi.
And He went through all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and expelling the demons.
40 Mutu wumosi wuba buazi wuyiza fukimina Yesu ayi wunkamba: —Enati tidi, beki kuaku bu kumbelusa.
One day there came a leper to Jesus entreating Him, and pleading on his knees. "If you are willing," he said, "you are able to cleanse me."
41 Yesu wummona kiadi, wunonuna koko, wunsimba ayi wunkamba: —Nyinga thidi, beluka kuaku!
Moved with pity Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. "I am willing," He said; "be cleansed."
42 Vana vawu buazi bubotukidi, mu mutu beni, wutumbu beluka.
The leprosy at once left him, and he was cleansed.
43 Yesu wumvutula ku nzo andi bu kanlubula ti:
Jesus at once sent him away, strictly charging him,
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.
and saying, "Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for 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, when he went out, began to tell every one and to publish the matter abroad, so that it was no longer possible for Jesus to go openly into any town; but He had to remain outside in unfrequented places, where people came to Him from all parts.
