Mark 1
1 A beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God!
Ukuqala kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu;
2 As it is written in the prophets —“Take note, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.”
njengokulotshiweyo kubaprofethiukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
3 “A voice calling out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!’”—
Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani izindledlana zayo.
4 John started baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
Kweza uJohane ebhabhathiza enkangala, etshumayela ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono,
5 Well, the whole Judean countryside and the Jerusalemites started going out to him, and were all being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
njalo kwaphumela kuye ilizwe lonke leJudiya, labo abeJerusalema, basebebhabhathizwa bonke nguye emfuleni iJordani, bevuma izono zabo.
6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist; and he was eating locusts and wild honey.
Futhi uJohane wayembethe uboya bekamela, elozwezwe lwesikhumba ekhalweni lwakhe, wayesidla intethe loluju lweganga.
7 And he was proclaiming: “After me my Superior is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
Watshumayela, esithi: Olamandla kulami uyeza emva kwami, engingafanele ukukhothama ngithukulule umchilo wamanyathela akhe.
8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.”
Mina isibili ngilibhabhathize ngamanzi; kodwa yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
9 Well it happened in those days that Jesus came from Natsareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku kwafika uJesu evela eNazaretha yeGalili, wabhabhathizwa nguJohane eJordani.
10 And immediately upon coming up from the water He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him.
Wenela ukukhuphuka emanzini, wabona amazulu eqhekezeka, loMoya kungathi lijuba esehlela phezu kwakhe;
11 And a Voice came from the heavens: “You are my Son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased!”
kwasekusiza ilizwi livela emazulwini, lathi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo.
12 Immediately the Spirit impelled Him into the wilderness.
Njalo uMoya wahle wamqhubela enkangala.
13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days being tested by Satan, and was with the wild animals; and the angels were ministering to Him.
Wayekhona-ke lapho enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane, wayelezilo, ingilosi zasezimnceda.
14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
Kwathi emva kokunikelwa kukaJohane, uJesu wafika eGalili, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu,
15 and saying: “The time has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has approached. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
njalo esithi: Isikhathi sigcwalisekile, njalo umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele; phendukani, likholwe ivangeli.
16 Then, as He was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, of Simon, casting a circular net onto the water, for they were fishermen.
Kwathi ehambahamba elwandle lweGalili wabona uSimoni loAndreya umfowabo, bephosela imbule olwandle; ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
17 So Jesus said to them: “Come, follow me and I will turn you into fishers of men.”
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngilandelani, ngizalenza libe ngabagoli babantu.
18 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
Njalo bahle batshiya amambule abo, bamlandela.
19 And going on from there a little ways He saw James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John; they were in their boat mending their nets.
Eseqhubeke ibangana esuka lapho, wabona uJakobe okaZebediya, loJohane umfowabo, labo babesemkhunjini belungisa amambule abo.
20 Right away He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men they followed Him.
Njalo wahle wababiza; basebetshiya uyise uZebediya emkhunjini leziqhatshwa, basuka bamlandela.
21 Then they went into Capernaum. The very next Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
Basebengena eKapenawume; kwathi ngesabatha wahle wangena esinagogeni, wafundisa.
22 And they kept on being amazed at His teaching, because He was teaching them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
Basebebabaza ngemfundiso yakhe; ngoba wabafundisa njengolamandla, njalo kungenjengababhali.
23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Futhi kwakukhona esinagogeni labo umuntu owayelomoya ongcolileyo, wasememeza,
24 saying: “Hey, what do you want with us, Jesus Natsarene?! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
wathi: Yekela, silani lawe, Jesu weNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa yini? Ngiyakwazi wena ukuthi ungubani: ONgcwele kaNkulunkulu.
25 So Jesus rebuked him saying: “Shut up and get out of him!”
UJesu wasemkhuza, wathi: Thula, uphume kuye.
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
Futhi umoya ongcolileyo emhlukuluza ekhala ngelizwi elikhulu, waphuma kuye.
27 And all were astounded, so that they questioned among themselves, saying: “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? Because with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
Basebemangala bonke, baze babuzana, bathi: Kuyini lokhu? Yimfundiso bani entsha le, ukuthi ngamandla uyalaya labomoya abangcolileyo, futhi bamlalele.
28 So His fame spread directly into the whole surrounding area of Galilee.
Njalo yahle yaphuma indumela yakhe esigabeni sonke seGalili esizingelezeleyo.
29 Immediately upon exiting the synagogue they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Njalo bahle baphuma esinagogeni, bangena endlini kaSimoni loAndreya, kanye loJakobe loJohane.
30 Simon's mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, so without delay they told Him about her.
Futhi uninazala kaSimoni wayelele eloqhuqho, njalo bahle bamtshela ngaye;
31 So He went and grasping her hand lifted her up; immediately the fever left her and she began to serve them.
wasesondela, wabamba isandla sakhe wamvusa; futhi uqhuqho lwahle lwamyekela, wabasebenzela.
32 That evening, when the sun had set, they started bringing to Him all who were sick and the demonized.
Kwathi sekuhlwile, ilanga selitshona, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo lababengenwe ngamadimoni;
33 So much so that the whole town was gathered at the door,
njalo umuzi wonke wawubuthene emnyango.
34 and He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew He was Messiah.
Wasesilisa abanengi ababegula izifo ezitshiyeneyo, wakhupha amadimoni amanengi, kodwa kavumelanga amadimoni ukuthi akhulume, ngoba ayemazi.
35 Now very early, still night, He got up, slipped out, and went off to a solitary place, where He was praying.
Njalo ekuseni kusesemnyama kakhulu wavuka waphuma, waya endaweni eyinkangala, wakhuleka khona.
36 Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
USimoni lababelaye basebemdingisisa;
37 and upon finding Him they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
sebemtholile bathi kuye: Bonke bayakudinga.
38 But He said to them: “Let us go to the neighboring towns, so I can preach there also; that is why I have come.”
Wasesithi kubo: Asiye emizini eseduze, ukuze ngitshumayele lakhona; ngoba ngiphumele lokhu.
39 He was constantly preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and also casting out demons.
Wasetshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke eleGalili, ekhupha amadimoni.
40 A leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling before Him and saying to Him, “If you want to, you are able to cleanse me.”
Kwasekufika kuye umlephero, emncenga eguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, esithi kuye: Aluba uthanda, ungangihlambulula.
41 So being moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to; be cleansed!”
UJesu wasesiba lesihelo, welula isandla, wamthinta, wathi kuye: Ngiyathanda, hlambuluka;
42 And when He said this, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
esekhulumile bahle basuka ubulephero kuye, wahlanjululwa.
43 And He sent him away at once, sternly warning him,
Wasemlayisisa, wahle wamyekela wahamba,
44 by saying: “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
esithi kuye: Khangela ungatsheli muntu ulutho; kodwa hamba, uziveze kumpristi, unikele ngokuhlanjululwa kwakho lokho uMozisi akulayayo, kube yibufakazi kubo.
45 However he went out and began to proclaim it freely, spreading the news, so that He was no longer able to enter a town openly, but remained outside in deserted places; yet they kept coming to Him from all over.
Kodwa yena esephumile waqala ukumemezela kakhulu walwandisa udaba, kwaze kwathi wayengaselakho ukungena emzini obala, kodwa wayengaphandle ezindaweni ezizinkangala; beza kuye bevela enhlangothini zonke.
