Mark 5
1 On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.
Bawela ichibi bafika emangweni wamaGerazini.
2 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.
Kwathi uJesu ephuma esikepeni, kwaqhamuka indoda elomoya omubi ivela emathuneni yamhlangabeza.
3 This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.
Indoda le yayihlala emathuneni, kungaselamuntu ongayibopha loba langeketane.
4 Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.
Ngoba yayihlezi ibotshiwe izandla lenyawo, kodwa iqamule amaketane lezinsimbi ezinyaweni zayo. Kwakungekho muntu owayelamandla okuyinqoba.
5 Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.
Ubusuku lemini yayihlaba umkhosi isemathuneni lasezintabeni, izisike ngamatshe.
6 When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.
Yathi ibona uJesu esesebucwala, yagijima yafika yazilahla phansi ngamadolo phambi kwakhe.
7 And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”
Yaklabalala ngelizwi elikhulu yathi, “Ufunani ngami, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngegama likaNkulunkulu ungangihlukuluzi!”
8 For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”
Ngoba uJesu wayesethe kuyo, “Phuma kuyo indoda le, wena moya omubi!”
9 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
UJesu waseyibuza wathi, “Ungubani ibizo lakho?” Yaphendula yathi, “Ibizo lami nguLigiyoni, ngoba sibanengi.”
10 And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.
Yamncenga uJesu futhifuthi ukuthi angabaxotshi kulowomango.
11 There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.
Umhlambi omkhulu wengulube wawusidla ewatheni lwentaba eduzane.
12 So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
Amadimoni amncenga uJesu athi, “Sithumele ezingulubeni; sivumele singene kuzo.”
13 He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.
Wawavumela, omoya ababi baphuma bayangena ezingulubeni. Umhlambi wazo, owawungaba zinkulungwane ezimbili, wagijima usehlela eliweni lodonga wangena echibini wagalula.
14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
Labo ababezelusile babaleka bayabika lokho edolobheni kanye lasemaphandleni, yikho abantu baqubuka bayabona lokho okwakwenzakele.
15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
Bathi befika kuJesu bayibona indoda eyayikade ilamadimoni ngobunengi bawo, ihlezi khonapho, igqokile njalo ingqondo isibuyile, besaba kakhulu.
16 Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.
Labo ababekubonile kusenzakala batshela abantu okwenzakalayo endodeni eyayilamadimoni, balandisa njalo langezingulube.
17 And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
Abantu basebemncenga uJesu ukuthi asuke emangweni wakibo.
18 As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.
Kwathi uJesu esengena esikepeni indoda leyo eyayikade ilamadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ahambe layo.
19 But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”
UJesu kayivumelanga, kodwa wathi kuyo, “Hamba ekhaya kwabakini ubatshele ukuba iNkosi ikwenzele okunganani, lokuthi ibe lesihawu kuwe.”
20 So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
Ngakho indoda yasihamba yabatshela eDekhapholisi konke uJesu ayeyenzele khona. Bonke abantu bamangala.
21 When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.
Kwathi lapho uJesu esewele njalo ngesikepe waya ngakuleliyana iphetsheya lechibi, kwabuthana kuye ixuku elikhulu ekhonapho eceleni kwechibi.
22 A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet
Kwasekufika omunye wabaphathi besinagogu okwakuthiwa nguJayirosi, wathi ebona uJesu wazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe.
23 and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”
Wamncenga kakhulu wathi, “Indodakazi yami encinyane iyafa. Ngicela ubuye uzobeka izandla zakho phezu kwayo ukuze isile njalo iphile.”
24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.
UJesu wahamba laye. Ixuku elikhulu lamlandela laminyezela.
25 And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.
Kwakulowesifazane khonapho owayephethwe yikopha sekumhluphe iminyaka elitshumi lambili.
26 She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.
Wayesehlupheke kakhulu loba wayeselatshwa ngabelaphi, njalo esechithe konke ayelakho, kodwa ekubeni abe ngcono kwakusiya phambili.
27 When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.
Wathi esezwile ngoJesu, weza ngemva kwakhe phakathi kwexuku labantu wabamba isembatho sakhe,
28 For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”
ngoba wacabanga wathi, “Nxa ngingathinta izigqoko zakhe kodwa nje, ngizasila.”
29 Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
Masinyane nje ukopha kwakhe kwaphela njalo wezwa emzimbeni wakhe ukuthi wayesekhululekile ekuhluphekeni kwakhe.
30 At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”
Khonokho uJesu wananzelela ukuthi amandla ayephumile kuye. Waphendukela exukwini labantu wabuza wathi, “Ngubani othinte izigqoko zami?”
31 His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”
Abafundi bakhe bamphendula bathi, “Lawe uyababona abantu beminyezelana kuwe, kodwa uyabuza uthi, ‘Ngubani ongithintileyo?’”
32 But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
Kodwa uJesu wala elokhu ethalaza ukuze abone ukuthi ngubani okwenzileyo lokho.
33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.
Ngakho owesifazane owayekwazi okwasekwenzakele kuye weza wazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe eqhaqhazela ngokwesaba wahle wafakaza iqiniso.
34 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”
Wathi kowesifazane, “Ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusilisile. Hamba ngokuthula ukhululeke ekuhluphekeni kwakho.”
35 While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”
UJesu elokhu esakhuluma kweza amanye amadoda ephuma endlini kaJayirasi, umphathi wesinagogu. Athi, “Indodakazi yakho isifile. Kambe usamhluphelani umfundisi na?”
36 But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”
Akaze akunaka lokho ababekutsho uJesu, wasetshela induna yesinagogu wathi, “Ungesabi, kholwa nje kuphela.”
37 And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
Kavumelanga muntu ukuba amlandele ngaphandle kukaPhethro, loJakhobe loJohane umfowabo kaJakhobe.
38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.
Bathi befika emzini wenduna yesinagogu uJesu wabona isiphithiphithi abantu bekhala benqongoloza.
39 He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
Wangena wathi kubo, “Ngesani isiphithiphithi sonke lesi lomkhosi wonke lo? Umntwana kafanga, kodwa ulele.”
40 And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.
Kodwa bamhleka usulu. Esebakhuphele phandle bonke wathatha uyise womntwana lonina kanye labafundi ayelabo wangena lapho umntwana ayekhona.
41 Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
Wambamba ngesandla wathi kuye, “Thalitha khumi!” (okutsho ukuthi, “Ntombazana, ngithi kuwe, sukuma!”)
42 Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around. She was twelve years old, and at once they were utterly astounded.
Masinyane intombazana yasukuma yahambahamba (wayemdala okweminyaka elitshumi lambili). Lokhu kwabamangalisa baphela amandla.
43 Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
Wabaqonqosela wathi bangazisi muntu ngalokho, wasesithi kabamuphe ukudla untombazana.
