< Maliko 1 >

1 Ici ecitatiko ca Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Yesu Klistu, Mwanendi Lesa.
A beginning of the good news 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 has been written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, 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 of one calling 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 came immersing in the wilderness, and proclaiming an immersion of conversion 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.
and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all immersed by 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 a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
7 Walikukambauketi, “Panyuma pakame, palesanga ukute ngofu kupita shakame. Ame nkandelela kukotameti nsungulule ntambo sha nkwabilo shakendi.
and he proclaimed, saying, “He comes—who is mightier than I—after me, of whom I am not worthy—having stooped down—to loose the strap of His sandals;
8 Ame ndamubatishanga ne menshi, nsombi nendi nakamubatishenga ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
I indeed immersed you in water, but He will immerse 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, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan;
10 Mpwalikufuma mu menshi, walabona kwilu kwalacaluka, kayi Mushimu Uswepa waleseti nkulimba nekwikala palyendiye.
and immediately coming up from the water, He saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit coming down on Him as a dove;
11 Popelapo palanyumfwika liswi kwilu lyakwambeti, “Obe njobe Mwaname ngondayandishisha, ndakondwa muli njobe.”
and a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted.”
12 Popelapo Mushimu Uswepa walapesheti enga mucinyika.
And immediately the Spirit puts Him forth 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 tempted by Satan, and He was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to Him.
14 Pacindi Yohane mpwalabikwa mujele, panyuma pakendi Yesu walaya ku Galileya kuya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa Lesa.
And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news 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 come near, convert and believe in the good news.”
16 Nomba pacindi ncalikwenda mu mbali mwa lwenje lwa Galileya, walabona Shimoni ne Ndileya pabukwabo, kabawala tombe mulwenje, pakwinga balikuba basulishi banswi.
And walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon, and his brother Andrew, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
17 Neco Yesu walabambileti, “Kamunkonkani, ninkamwiyishe kuba basulishi ba bantu.”
and Jesus said to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men”;
18 Popelapo balashiya tombe twabo ne kumukonkela.
and immediately, having left their nets, they followed Him.
19 Kayi mpwalendako pang'ana, walabona Jemusi ne Yohane banabendi Sebedayo, mu bwato kababamba tombe twabo.
And having gone on there a little, He saw James of Zebedee, and his brother John, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
20 Naboyo pacindi copeleco Yesu walabakuwa. Balashiya mushali wabo Sebedayo mubwato pamo ne basebenshi, balo balaya pamo ne Yesu.
and immediately He called them, and having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away 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 on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, He was teaching,
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 was teaching 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 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 [regards] us and You, Jesus the Nazarene? You came to destroy us; I have known You, who You are—the Holy One of God.”
25 Nomba Yesu walaucancilila mushimu waipa ne kuwambileti “Komwena, pula mu muntuyu.”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come forth out of him,”
26 Panyuma pa kumuwishila panshi kanyukuma, mushimu waipa walabilikisha cangofu, ne kufumamo popelapo.
and the unclean spirit having convulsed him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth 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, so as to reason among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching [is] this? That with authority He also commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 Neco, impuwo yakendi lwalamwaikila bwangu mu misena yonse ya mu cimpansha ca Galileya.
And the fame of Him went forth immediately to all the region of Galilee.
29 Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi pamo ne Jemusi ne Yohane, mpobalapula mung'anda yakupaililamo, balaya kung'anda ya Shimoni ne Ndileya.
And immediately, having come forth out of 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.
and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell Him about her,
31 Yesu walaya mpobalikuba bona walabekata kucikasa ne kubapundusha. Popelapo bulwashi bwalapwa, balatatika kubabambila cakulya.
and having come near, He raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
32 Mansailo, lisuba mpolyalebila, bantu balatatika kumuletela Yesu balwashi bonse, ne abo bekatwa ne mishimu yaipa.
And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to Him all who were ill and who were demoniacs,
33 Bantu bonse bamu munshi balabungana pa lubansa.
and the whole city was gathered together near 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 ill of manifold diseases, and He cast forth many demons, and was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
35 Kumaca kapacili pashipuluka, Yesu walapunduka mung'anda ne kuya kumusena kwabula bantu nkwalaya kupaila.
And very early, it being yet night, having risen, He went forth, and went away to a desolate place, and was praying there;
36 Nomba Shimoni ne banendi balatatika kumulangaula.
and Simon and those with him went in quest of Him,
37 Mpobalamucana balambeti “Bantu bonse balamulangaulunga.”
and having found Him, they say to Him, “All seek You”;
38 Nomba Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Katuyani kumbi ku minshi ili pepi, kwambeti enkambaukeko, pakwinga encondaleshila.”
and He says to them, “We may go into the next towns, that there also I may preach, for—for this I came forth.”
39 Kayi walaya mu manda abo akupaililamo mu Galileya monse, kaya kukambauka ne kupulisha mishimu yaipa.
And He was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
40 Shimankuntu walesa kuli Yesu ne kumusuntamina ne kumusengeti, “Nakamuyanda, inga munswepesha.”
and there comes to Him a leper, calling on Him, and kneeling to Him, and saying to Him, “If You may will, You are able to cleanse me.”
41 Yesu walepilwa moyo neco, walatandabula cikasa cakendi ne kumwikata ne kumwambileti, “Ee ndayandishishinga, swepesha.”
And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him and says to him, “I will, be cleansed”;
42 Pacindi copeleco, mankuntu alashimangana, walaswepa.
and He having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Nomba Yesu walamwambileti enga kwabo, ne kumucenjesheti,
And having sternly charged him, immediately He put him forth,
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 says to him, “See [that] you may say nothing to anyone, but go away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing the things Moses directed, for 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.
And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread the thing abroad, so that He was no longer able to openly enter into the city, but He was outside in desolate places, and they were coming to Him from every quarter.
