Malekha 1
1 Uvwu vwu vutengulilo wa limenyu lya Yiisu Kriste, Nswambe va Nguluve.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 Ndavwuwa lesimbiwe nu nyamalago Yesaya, “Lole nihonsuha unsuhiwa vangu mumbolongolo hulyove, unyahutesania enjela yakho.
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 Elimenyu lya munu uveikhwelanga ndodasi, “Mmalesyage injela ya Ntwa; mgolosyage injela incha mwene.”
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 O Yohani ainchile, alekuncha ndodasi nu hulumbilila ulyancho ulwa khupela khu lusyekhelo lwa mbivi.
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 Ekhelunga khoni ekhya Yudea na avanu voni ava mu Yerusalemu valutile khumwene. Valekhyonchiwa nnmwene ndugaasi ulwa Yordani, valechupela imbivi incga vene.
And there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 O Yohani afwalaga umwenda gwa lwage lwa ngamia nu ombote gwa ngwembe mukhivina lchya mwene, alinchaga imanji nu wukhi vwa mwinyasi.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7 Alumbilile nu khuta, “Pwale yomo uveikhwincha munsana nndyone unyamakha agalutelile khulyone, one saniwesya ukhugundame nu ukhuhudula indegekhe incha vilatu ifya mwene.
And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 One navoochiche na amagasi, leno umwene ikhovonchaga umwe nu umepo umbalache.”
I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 Yakhomile amanchova agoo ukhuta Yiisu ainchile ukhukhuma Nazareti eya Galileya, pwu aonchiwe nu Yohani mundugasi ulwa Yolodani.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 Imisekhe Yiisu wikhwinamkha ukhukhuma mu ndugasi, akhavona khukhyanya khule mwanchi nu umepo ikhwikha pakhyanya pamwene ndekhengundya.
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11 Elimenyu lekhakhuma khukyanya, “Uve ole Nswambago vegane. Nekhuganile uvwe.”
And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Usekhe gugwa umepo akhamwomelencha ukhuluta khulodasi.
And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
13 Avile khuludasi amanchuva arobaini, alekhugeliwa nu Ntavangwa u setano. Ale pupaninie ni ifikanu ifya mwinyasi, pwu avasukhiwa valekhuntangela.
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
14 Pwu vwu ibatiwe Yohani, u Yiisu akhincha khu Galileya alekhulumbilela alimenyu lya Nguluve,
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 Alekhuta, “Unsekhe gusilile, uludeva lwa Nguluve lukhegelile. Pelega nu khwidika elimenyu.”
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
16 Vwuilotanincha ndukhanji mwanyanja eya Galileya, akhambona u Simoni nu olokhololwe u Ndeleya vilakhela inyafu incha vene mu nyanja ulwa khuva vavombaga embombo eya khulova.
Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17 Yiisu akhavavola ukhuta, “Mwinchage, mung'ongage, nikhovavekha ukhuva valovi va vanu.”
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 Unsekhe gugwa vakhanchilekha inyafu valekhunkonga.
And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19 U Yiisu walotile pavutali padebe, akhambona u Yakobo unswambe va Zebedayo nu Yohani alokololwe; vale mu mbwato valekhutenda inyafu.
And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
20 Na vope akhavelanga vahandekha u Dada vavene u Zebedayo mu bwato na avavombi avagongoliwa, vakhankonga.
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Vovanchifikhe hu Kaperinaumu, elinchuva lya isabato, u Yiisu akhingila mu sinagogi mukhumanyisya.
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
22 Valeswigila lelyo alemanyisye, ulwa khuva alekhuvamanyisya ndu munu unyalulagelo sandavovwa vavimanyisya amasimbi.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Unsekhe gugwa khwale nu munu mu sinagogi lya vene uveale ni mepo imbivi, pwu akhaywega,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 Akhata, “Tulene khehi ekhya huvomba nuve, Yiisu va Nazareti? Winchile khukhutoyancha? Nekhumanyile ule veni. Uve ulembalanche vemwene va Nguluve!”
Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 U Yiisu akhanchibencha imepo nu khunchova, “Nunala mukhome mgati mumwene!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 Pwu imepo embivi yekhagwisya pasi nu ikhahuma mumwene vwu ilelo khu limenyu elya pa kyanya.
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 Avanu voni valekhuswiga, pwu valekhuvonchana khela munu, “Khenu kheli ekhe? Lumanyisyo ulopya ulunyalulagilo? Ulwa khulagila imepo imbivi ukhumpwulikha!”
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
28 Elimenyu lya mwene likhamanyekhekha ekhelunga khyoni khya Galileya.
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
29 Unsekhe gugwa vwa khomile mu sinagogi, vakhingila mbunchenge uvwa Simioni nu Ndeleya vovale nu Yakobo nu Yohani.
And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Leno ukwive va Simioni alekhogona avile ne khoma, pwu unsekhe gugwe vakhambula u Yiisu.
But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
31 Pwu akhincha, akhamwibata ekhevokho, nu khumwinula; ekhoma yekhakhega, akhatengula ukhuvatangela.
And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 Lyakhemikhe elijuva volesemile, vakhandetela avanu voni avale watamu, avange avale ni mepo imbivi.
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
33 Ikhelunga khyoni wakhalundamana pwu paninie pa ndyango.
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 Akhavapokha vingi avale vatamu va vitamu nu ukhuvahencha imepo ukhunchova, ulwa khuva nchamanyile.
And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
35 Akhalavela ukhusisismkha panavusiku, vwu khunchige ne khisi; akhahega akhaluta pa vwukhale akhesaya ukhwe.
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simioni na voni avale paninie nu mwene valekhondonda.
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
37 Vakhambona nu khumbula, “Ukhuta voni vikholonda”
And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee.
38 Akhavavola, “Tuvokhe pavunge, khunji mumbojenge, pwu nelumbilela nukhwa. Khyomene ninchile apa.”
And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
39 Akhalota akhagendela Galileya yoni, alekhulumbelela mu masinagogi gavene nu ukhunchibencha imepo.
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
40 Unyabuuba yumo akhincha khumwene. Alekhodova; akhafugama nu khuta, “INgave vwinogwa, umbombe neve nonu.”
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Vwuikhulugiwa ne khisa, u Yiisu akhagolosya ekhevokho khya mwene akhankolela, akhata, “Ninogwa. Uvwe nonu.”
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
42 Unsekhe gugwa ubuuba vukhakhega, akhava nonu.
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Yiisu akhambolanincha ukhuta akhege unsekhe gugwa,
And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
44 Akhambula ukhuta, “Usite ukhonchova elimenyu khwu munu yeyone, pwu lotaga, ukhevonesye khuvatekhenchi, ukhakhumie enekhelo eya uvuvalanche ndavovwa alagile u Mose, yeve luvonekhelo khuvene.”
And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45 Pwu alekhuluta nu khutengula ukhupangila khela munu elimenyu lichadala khwoni pwu u Yiisu akhalemwa ukhwingila khuvulegefu mumbunchenge. Pwu akhatama aponu pavukhale avanu vakhincha khumwene ukhuhuma ukhyoni.
But he went out, and began to publish [it] much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
