Maliko 1
1 Ici ecitatiko ca Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Yesu Klistu, Mwanendi Lesa.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Walatatika mbuli ncewalalembwa mulibuku lya Yesaya mushinshimi, Lesa walambeti, “Ninkatume mutumwa wakame pantangu pakobe, uyo eti akabambe nshila yakobe,
Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way;
3 Pali liswi lya muntu labilikishinga mu cinyika limbangeti, Bambani mukwakwa mwakupita Mwami, Lulamikani nshila njoti akapitemo.”
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready 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 came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission 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.
And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Yohane walikufwala mwinjila wa bweya bwa ngamila, kayi ne lamba wa cipaya mubukome. Byakulya byakendi byalikuba bikobo ne bwiki bwamucisuwa.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and [had] a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.
7 Walikukambauketi, “Panyuma pakame, palesanga ukute ngofu kupita shakame. Ame nkandelela kukotameti nsungulule ntambo sha nkwabilo shakendi.
And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 Ame ndamubatishanga ne menshi, nsombi nendi nakamubatishenga ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
9 Paliya kupita masuba angi, Yesu walafuma ku Nasaleti mucimpansha ca Galileya. Walabatishiwa ne Yohane mu mulonga wa Yolodano.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.
10 Mpwalikufuma mu menshi, walabona kwilu kwalacaluka, kayi Mushimu Uswepa waleseti nkulimba nekwikala palyendiye.
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:
11 Popelapo palanyumfwika liswi kwilu lyakwambeti, “Obe njobe Mwaname ngondayandishisha, ndakondwa muli njobe.”
and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
12 Popelapo Mushimu Uswepa walapesheti enga mucinyika.
And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.
13 Walekalako masuba makumi ana, kasunkwa ne Satana. Walikuba pakati pa banyama, nsombi bangelo balikumunyamfwilisha.
And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
14 Pacindi Yohane mpwalabikwa mujele, panyuma pakendi Yesu walaya ku Galileya kuya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa Lesa.
Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
15 Walikwambeti, “Cindi cilashiki, Bwami bwa Lesa bulaseng'ene pepi! Kamulapani, kayi kamushomani Mulumbe Waina.”
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, 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.
And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers.
17 Neco Yesu walabambileti, “Kamunkonkani, ninkamwiyishe kuba basulishi ba bantu.”
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 Popelapo balashiya tombe twabo ne kumukonkela.
And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.
19 Kayi mpwalendako pang'ana, walabona Jemusi ne Yohane banabendi Sebedayo, mu bwato kababamba tombe twabo.
And going on a little further, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.
20 Naboyo pacindi copeleco Yesu walabakuwa. Balashiya mushali wabo Sebedayo mubwato pamo ne basebenshi, balo balaya pamo ne Yesu.
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi balaya ku Kapelenao, mpobwalashika busuba bwa Sabata bwakupumwina, Yesu walengila mung'anda yakupaililamo ne kutatika kwiyisha.
And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 Nomba bantu balamunyumfwa ncalikwiyisha balakankamana, pakwinga nkalikwiyisheti beshikwiyisha ba milawo ya Mose, nsombi nendi walikwiyisha ne ngofu sha bwendeleshi.
And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Pacindi copeleco muntu wekatwa ne mushimu waipa, neye walesa mu ng'anda yakupaililamo, muntuyo walabilikisheti,
And straightway there was in their synagogue a man 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, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Nomba Yesu walaucancilila mushimu waipa ne kuwambileti “Komwena, pula mu muntuyu.”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 Panyuma pa kumuwishila panshi kanyukuma, mushimu waipa walabilikisha cangofu, ne kufumamo popelapo.
And the unclean spirit, tearing 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 they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 Neco, impuwo yakendi lwalamwaikila bwangu mu misena yonse ya mu cimpansha ca Galileya.
And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.
29 Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi pamo ne Jemusi ne Yohane, mpobalapula mung'anda yakupaililamo, balaya kung'anda ya Shimoni ne Ndileya.
And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Kumakwendi Shimoni batukashi balikuba bona kabanyumfwa mubili kulungula, Yesu mpwalashika mwakufwambana balamwinshibisha.
Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:
31 Yesu walaya mpobalikuba bona walabekata kucikasa ne kubapundusha. Popelapo bulwashi bwalapwa, balatatika kubabambila cakulya.
and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 Mansailo, lisuba mpolyalebila, bantu balatatika kumuletela Yesu balwashi bonse, ne abo bekatwa ne mishimu yaipa.
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.
33 Bantu bonse bamu munshi balabungana pa lubansa.
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 Yesu walabasengula balikukolwa malwashi apusana pusana, walapulisha mishimu yaipa, kayi nkali kwisuminisha kwambapo, pakwinga yaliku mwinshiba.
And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 Kumaca kapacili pashipuluka, Yesu walapunduka mung'anda ne kuya kumusena kwabula bantu nkwalaya kupaila.
And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 Nomba Shimoni ne banendi balatatika kumulangaula.
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;
37 Mpobalamucana balambeti “Bantu bonse balamulangaulunga.”
and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.
38 Nomba Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Katuyani kumbi ku minshi ili pepi, kwambeti enkambaukeko, pakwinga encondaleshila.”
And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.
39 Kayi walaya mu manda abo akupaililamo mu Galileya monse, kaya kukambauka ne kupulisha mishimu yaipa.
And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
40 Shimankuntu walesa kuli Yesu ne kumusuntamina ne kumusengeti, “Nakamuyanda, inga munswepesha.”
And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Yesu walepilwa moyo neco, walatandabula cikasa cakendi ne kumwikata ne kumwambileti, “Ee ndayandishishinga, swepesha.”
And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.
42 Pacindi copeleco, mankuntu alashimangana, walaswepa.
And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 Nomba Yesu walamwambileti enga kwabo, ne kumucenjesheti,
And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,
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.”
and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto 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.
But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
