Malika 1
1 Imhola inofu ija Yesu kilisite, uMwana ghwa Nguluve.
Here is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Ndavule lilembilue mukitabu kya m'bili u Isaya, “Lolagha nikunsuung'ha unyamhola ghwango akulongolele, ujuo ghwe ikuling'anisiagha isila.”
Just as the prophet Isaiah wrote, “I'm sending my messenger ahead of you to prepare your way.
3 Ilisio lya muunhu nipilikika kuhuma ku lihaka liiti, munnosekesyaghe u Mutwa u Nguluve isila na kuling'hania muno kya ilila”.
A voice is calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the Lord's way! Make his paths straight.’”
4 Pepano u Yohana u mwofughi akatengula ku pilisia ku lihaka, kuuti avaanhu valataghe inyivi save nakuwofughua.
John came, baptizing in the desert, announcing a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
5 Avaanhu kuhuma mulikaja lya Yerusalemu na mukighavo kyoni ikya Yudea, vakalutagha kwa Yohana, vakalatagha inyivi save.
Everybody from the country of Judea and from Jerusalem went to him. They admitted their sins publicly and were baptized in the Jordan River.
6 UYohana akafwalagha umwenda ghuno ghutendilie nulwaghe lwa ngamia akipinyagha nulukova munsana, na kulia imhaasi nu vwuki.
John wore clothes made of camel hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
7 Akapulisyagha akatisagha, kwale jumo ikwisa mumbele mulyune unya ngufu kukila une, juno naninoghile nambe kuva m'banda ughwa kuhudula utukova twa filatu twake.
This is what he had to say: “After me someone is coming who is greater than I am. I'm not worthy to bend down and untie his sandals.
8 Une nikuvofugha na malenga, neke umwene ikuvofughagha nu Mhepo u Mwimike.”
I baptized you in water but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 Lulya humile mufighono ifio ulwakuuti u Yesu Kilisite alisile kuhuma ku Nazaret ija ku Galilaya, akaluka kwa Yohanani na kukwofugua nu mwene mukikogha ikya Yolidani.
Then Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
10 Ye ofughue unsiki ghughuo akahuma mumalenga, akavona uvulanga vudinduka, na ju Mhepo hwene ng'hunda akiika pa mwene.
As Jesus came out of the water, he saw the heavens split apart and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.
11 Pe ilisio likahuma kukyanya likati, “Uve veve mwanango mughanike. Nikukelile fijo uve.”
A voice from heaven said, “You are my son, the one I love. I am very pleased with you.”
12 Kange nakalingi u Mhepo akamulongosia u Yesu kuluta kulihaka.
Right after this the Spirit sent him away into the desert
13 Akikalagha ifighono fijigho fine, agheluagha nu setano. Alyale nifikanhu ifnge ifya mulisoli, navanyamhola vakan'tangagha.
where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was with the wild animals, and angels took care of him.
14 pa mbele u Yohani ye akolilue, u Yesu akalika ku galilaya ipulisia imhola inofu ija Nguluve,
Later, after John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, announcing God's good news.
15 akatisagha, “Unsiki ghwa ghufikile, kange uvu twa vwa Nguluve vulipipi. Mulataghe na kukwitika inyivi siinu mu livangili”.
“The time predicted has come,” he said. “God's kingdom has arrived! Repent and believe in the good news.”
16 Yeakilila mulubale mu lisumba lya Galilaya, akabona u Simoni nu ANdeleeya vitagha inyavu save mulisumba, ulwakuva valyale valovaji.
As he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they made their living by fishing.
17 U Yesu akavavula, “Mwise, mumbingililaghe, nikuvavika kuva valovi va vaanhu.”
“Come and follow me,” he told them, “and I will have you fishing for people.”
18 Unsiki ghughuo vakasileka inyavu save vakam'bingilila.
They left their nets at once and followed him.
19 Unsiki u Yesu ye aghendile akasiki padabe, akam'bona u Yakobo mwawa ghwa Zebedayo nhu Yohani vanyalukolo vake; valyale mu ngalava vitenda inyavu.
He went a little farther and saw James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat mending their nets.
20 Voope akavakemela vakamuleka uvise ghwave u Sebedayi mun'akte mu ngalava palikimo navavombi vaake, vakam'bingilila.
Immediately he called them to follow him, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, and followed Jesus.
21 Ye vafikile ku Kapelaumu, ikighono kya Sabati, vakingila mu sinagogi na kuvulanisia.
They left for Capernaum, and on Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught there.
22 Vakadegha imbulanisio ja mwene, ulwakuva alyale ivulanisia hwene muunhu nya vutavulilua nakavulanisiagha ndavule avalembi.
The people were amazed at his teaching, for he spoke with authority, unlike the religious teachers.
23 Unsinki ghughuo umuunhu alyale mu sinagogi jivanave alyale nilipepo ililamafu, akakoola,
Suddenly, right there in the synagogue, a man with an evil spirit started shouting out,
24 akati, “Tulini kikibikya kuvomba nuve, Yesu ghwa Nasaleti? Ghwisile kukututipula? Tukagule uliveni? Uve ulimwimike ghwemwene ghwa Nguluve!”
“Jesus of Nazareth, why are you bothering us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are! You're God's Holy One!”
25 U Yesu akalihwetukila ili pepo ililamafu akati, “kimihe huma mun'kate mwamuunhu uju!”
Jesus interrupted the evil spirit, telling him, “Be quiet! Come out of him.”
26 Nili pepo ililamafu likamughwisia pasi na kuhuma mun'kate mwamwene unsiki ghuno akakolala kulisio ilivaha.
The evil spirit screamed, threw the man into convulsions, and came out of him.
27 Avaanhu vooni vakadegha, kange vakaposesania vene, “Senyiki isi? Isi se mbulanisio imia inyavutavulilua? Idagha amapepo ghope ghikunda!”
Everyone was amazed at what happened. “What is this?” they asked each other. “What is this new teaching that has such authority? Even evil spirits do what he tells them!”
28 Imhola sa Yesu sikakwila ng'hani ng'hani mukighavo kyoni ikya Galilaya.
News about him spread quickly throughout the whole region of Galilee.
29 Ng'haning'hani ye vahumile kunji mu sinagogi, vakingile mu nyumba ija Simoni nu ndeleeya Vyalyale u Yakobo nu Yohani.
Then they left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
30 Lino un'kwive ghwa Simoni alyaghonelile alyale n'tamu ghwa homa, ng'haning'ani vakam'bula u Yesu imhola sa mwene.
Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, so they told Jesus about her.
31 Ye afikile, akan'kolo nuluvoko, akamwinula, ihoma jikabuka kwa mwene, akategula kukuvatengelela.
He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever immediately left her. Then she made them a meal.
32 vwilile unsiki ilijuva ye lisemile, vakamuletela avatamu vooni vano valyale vivavua, na vanya mapepo.
After sunset that evening, those who were sick and demon-possessed were brought to Jesus.
33 Ilikaja lyoni valyakong'anile palikimo pa mulyango.
The whole of the town gathered outside.
34 Alya vasosisie vinga vano valyale ninamu avanyanamu sino sili papinga na pidagha amapepo minga, looli nakaghalekelagha amapepo ghajove ulwakuva ghalya manyile.
He healed many people who had various diseases, and threw out many demons. He did not permit the demons to speak, for they knew who he was.
35 Alyasimuike kujighe kuhenga, unsiki ghuno ghukakyale kuhenga; akaluta pamonga pasyefu pe akifunya kukuo.
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went alone to a quiet place to pray.
36 U Simoni navanine vakatengula kuku mulonda.
Simon and the others went to search for him.
37 Ye vamwaghile vakam'bula vakati, “Avaanhu vooni vikukulonda”
When they found him, they told him, “Everybody's looking for you.”
38 Akavamula akati, “Tuvuke kufisina ifinge, mu fikaja fino fisyunguta, kwope nipilisie kange. Ulwakuva lwelino nisile apa.”
But Jesus replied, “We have to go to the other towns around here so that I can tell them the good news as well—for that's why I came.”
39 Akaluta imbale sooni isa mukighavo ikya Galilaya, ipilisia mu masinagogi na kudaga amapepo.
So he went all over Galilee, speaking in the synagogues and expelling demons.
40 Unyabuba jumonga akisa kwa mwene. Akampelepesia; akafughama akati, “Nave ukelile kukumbalasia, nisuma umbalasie.
A leper came to him asking for help. The man kneeled down before Jesus, saying, “Please, if you're willing, you can heal me!”
41 Vwimila vwa lusungu, u Yesu akagholosia uluvoko lwamwene aka mwabasia, akati, “Nikeela, Uvalale.”
With compassion Jesus reached out and touched the man, and said, “I am willing. Be healed!”
42 Unsiki ghughuo ibuba jikabuka mu m'bili ghwake, pe akavalasivua.
The leprosy left him immediately, and he was healed.
43 U Yesu akan'kaana akaati lutagha ng'hani ng'hani,
Jesus sent him away with a strong warning.
44 Akam'bula akaati, “Nungam'bulaghe nambe muunhu imola isi, ulwene ulute ghuhufie kwa n'tekesi, uhumie ilitekelo ndavule alyalaghile u Moose, vuve vwolesi kuvanave.”
“Make sure you don't tell anybody anything about this,” he told him. “Go to the priest and show yourself to him. Give the offering which is required by the law of Moses for such cleansing, so that people will have proof.”
45 Looli akaluta na pikum'bula kila muunhu na pipulisia ilisio kukila u Yesu lukampela u Yesu kukunua kukwingila mu makaja pa vuvalafu. Akavisagha kunji ku makaja kuvusyefu kuvusila vaanhu kwope ukuo avaanhu ifipugha fyooni kuhuma imbale soni vakalutagha kwa mwene.
But the healed leper went out and told everyone what had happened. As a result Jesus could not openly go into the cities anymore, but had to stay out in the country where people came to him from everywhere around.
