Mark 6
1 And he went out from thence, and cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
UJesu wasuka lapho waya edolobheni lakibo, ehamba labafundi bakhe.
2 And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And most people when they heard him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? And what is the wisdom which is given him? And how is it that such miracles are wrought by his hands?
Kwathi ngeSabatha wafundisa esinagogweni, abanengi abamuzwayo bamangala. Babuzana bathi, “Indoda le yazithatha ngaphi izinto zonke lezi? Yinhlakanipho enganani le ayiphiwayo aze akwazi lokwenza imimangaliso!
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judah, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they took offence at him.
Kanti angithi nguye yini umbazi lo? Kayisindodana kaMariya yini le, umnewabo kaJakhobe, loJosefa, loJuda loSimoni? Odadewabo angithi bakhona khonapha?” Lokho kwenza bamsola.
4 And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house.
UJesu wathi kubo, “Umphrofethi kalalo udumo kuphela edolobheni lakibo, phakathi kwezihlobo zakhe lendlini yakwabo.”
5 And he could not do any miracle there, except that he laid his hand upon a few sick persons, and cured them.
Wayengeke enze izimangaliso khona, ngaphandle kokubeka izandla ebantwini abalutshwana abagulayo ukuba abasilise.
6 And he wondered at their want of faith. And he went about the surrounding villages teaching.
Njalo wamangaliswa yikusilela kwabo ekukholweni. UJesu wasenquma efundisa imizi ngemizi.
7 And he calleth to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over the unclean spirits;
Wabiza abalitshumi lambili beza kuye, wabathumela ngababili wabapha amandla phezu kwemimoya emibi.
8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for the way but a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money in their girdle;
Imilayo yakhe yayiyile: “Lingathwali lutho kuloluhambo ngaphandle kwentonga, lingathwali isinkwa, isikhwama loba yimali emabhantini enu.
9 but to be shod with sandals; and, Do not put on two coats.
Ligqoke amanyathela kodwa lingathwali esinye isigqoko.
10 And he said to them, Wherever ye enter a house, there abide fill ye leave that place.
Lapho lingena endlini ethile, hlalani khona lize lisuke kulelodolobho.
11 And whatever place shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye go thence, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony to them.
Nxa indawo ethile ingalamukeli loba ingalilaleli, dlulani kuleyondawo lithintithe uthuli ezinyaweni zenu kube yibufakazi bokubalahla.”
12 And they went out and preached that men should repent;
Basuka bahamba betshumayela ukuthi abantu kabaphenduke.
13 and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many sick persons, and healed them.
Bakhupha amadimoni amanengi njalo bagcoba abantu abanengi abagulayo ngamafutha babasilisa.
14 And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad), and he said, John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. But others said, It is Elijah.
Inkosi uHerodi yezwa ngalokhu, ngoba ibizo likaJesu laselisaziwa kakhulu. Abanye babesithi, “UJohane uMbhaphathizi uvukile kwabafileyo, yikho amandla amangalisayo esebenza kuye.”
15 And others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
Abanye bathi, “Ungu-Elija.” Kwabuye njalo abanye bathi, “Ungumphrofethi, njengomunye wabaphrofethi basendulo.”
16 But Herod hearing of it said, John, whom I beheaded, hath risen again.
Kodwa kwathi uHerodi ekuzwa lokhu wathi, “UJohane, indoda engayiquma ikhanda usevukile kwabafileyo!”
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and seized John, and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.
Ngoba uHerodi yena ngokwakhe wayekhuphe ilizwi lokuthi uJohane abanjwe, wathi kabotshwe aphoselwe entolongweni. Wakwenza lokho ngenxa kaHerodiyasi, umfazi womfowabo uFiliphu ayesemthethe.
18 For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Ngoba uJohane wayelokhu esithi kuHerodi, “Kawuvunyelwa ukuthi uthathele umfowenu umfazi.”
19 And Herodias was enraged against him, and wished to put him to death, but could not.
Ngakho uHerodiyasi wahlala elesikhwili loJohane efuna ukumbulala. Kodwa waswela indlela yokumbulala,
20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and was regardful of him; and on hearing him, was in much anxiety, and listened to him gladly.
ngoba uHerodi wayemesaba uJohane emvikela, ngokumazi ukuthi wayeyindoda elungileyo njalo engcwele. Nxa wayemuzwa uJohane, wayedideka kakhulu, kodwa ethanda ukumlalela.
21 And a convenient day having come, when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles and chief captains and the principal men of Galilee,
Ekucineni lafika elingaliyo. Ngelanga lesikhumbuzo sokuzalwa kwakhe uHerodi wenza idili lezikhulu zakhe labalawuli bempi kanye labakhokheli abaziwayo eGalile.
22 and the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those at table with him; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
Kuthe indodakazi kaHerodiyasi isifikile yagida kamnandi yathokozisa uHerodi lezethekeli zakhe edilini. Inkosi yasisithi entombazaneni, “Ngicela loba yini, ngizakupha.”
23 And he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give thee, to the half of my kingdom.
Wamthembisa wafunga wathi, “Loba yini oyicelayo ngizakupha kungaze kube yingxenye yombuso wami.”
24 And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer.
Yaphuma intombazana yayakuthi kunina, “Kambe ngiceleni?” Waphendula wathi, “Ikhanda likaJohane uMbhaphathizi.”
25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I desire that thou wilt give me immediately on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
Masinyane intombazana yatheleka enkosini isilesicelo leso, yathi: “Ngifuna ukuthi ungiphe khathesi nje ikhanda likaJohane uMbhaphathizi lisemganwini.”
26 And the king was exceedingly sorry; but on account of his oaths, and of those at table with him, he would not refuse her.
Inkosi yakhathazeka kakhulu, kodwa ngenxa yezifungo zayo langenxa yezethekeli zayo kayithandanga ukusala isicelo.
27 And the king immediately sent one of his guards, and ordered his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in the prison,
Ngakho yahle yathumela umbulali ukuba alethe ikhanda likaJohane. Yahamba indoda yamquma ikhanda uJohane entolongweni,
28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.
yaliletha ikhanda lisemganwini. Yalethula entombazaneni, yona yalipha unina.
29 And his disciples, when they heard of it, came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.
Bathi bekuzwa lokho abafundi bakaJohane beza bathatha isidumbu bayasingcwaba ethuneni.
30 And the apostles gather together to Jesus, and told him all which they had done and taught.
Abapostoli babuthana kuJesu bambikela konke ababekwenzile labakufundisayo.
31 And he saith to them, Come ye by yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going; and they had no leisure, even to eat.
Kwathi ngoba kwakufika abantu abanengi kakhulu abanye besuka baze baswele ithuba lokudla, wathi kubo, “Ngilandelani lodwa siye endaweni ethuleyo ukuze siphumule.”
32 And they went away into a desert place in the boat apart.
Yikho bahamba bebodwa ngesikepe baya endaweni esithekileyo.
33 And many saw them departing, and knew them, and ran together on foot thither from all the cities, and arrived before them.
Kodwa abanengi abababonayo besuka babananzelela babaxhuma begijima ngezinyawo bevela kuwo wonke amadolobho babaqalela ukuyafika.
34 And when he came forth, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
UJesu uthe esehla esikepeni wabona ixuku labantu elikhulu wabazwela usizi ngoba babenjengezimvu ezingelamelusi. Ngakho wasebafundisa izinto ezinengi.
35 And late in the day his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and it is now late;
Ngalesi isikhathi kwasekusemini kakhulu, ngakho abafundi bakhe beza kuye bathi, “Le yindawo esesikhaleni, njalo sekusemini kakhulu.
36 send them away, that they may go into the surrounding fields and villages, and buy themselves something to eat.
Tshela abantu bahambe ukuze baziyele emadolobheni lasemizini bayezithengela abangakudla.”
37 But he answering said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denaries' worth of bread, and give them to eat?
Kodwa waphendula wathi, “Bapheni lina ukudla.” Bathi kuye, “Lokho kungathatha umholo wendoda owenyanga eziyisificaminwembili! Uthi sihambe siyochitha imali engako sithenge isinkwa sibaphe badle?”
38 He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
Wabuza wathi, “Lilezinkwa ezingaki na? Ake liyokhangela.” Sebezibonile bathi, “Zinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili.”
39 And he ordered them to make all lie down in companies upon the green grass.
UJesu wasebalaya ukuthi bahlalise bonke abantu phansi etshanini ngamaxuku.
40 And they lay down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Yikho bahlala phansi ngamaxuku alikhulu. Abanye ngamatshumi amahlanu.
41 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.
Ethatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili wakhangela ezulwini, wabonga, wasehlephuna izinkwa. Waseziqhubela abafundi bakhe ukuba bazabele abantu. Waphinda wabehlukanisela inhlanzi zombili.
42 And they all ate, and were filled.
Bonke badla basutha,
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
abafundi basebebutha imvuthu zezinkwa lenhlanzi bagcwalisa izitsha ezilitshumi lambili.
44 And they who ate of the loaves were five thousand men.
Abadlayo babengamadoda azinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
45 And he immediately constrained his disciples to get into the boat, and to go before to the other side to Bethsaida, while he sent the multitude away.
Masinyane uJesu wenza ukuthi abafundi bakhe bangene esikepeni bahambe bamandulele eBhethisayida, yena esavalelisana labantu.
46 And when he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.
Esehlukene labo, waya ewatheni lwentaba ukuyakhuleka.
47 And when evening came, the boat was in the midst of the lake; and he was alone on the land.
Kwathi sekuhlwile isikepe sasiphakathi laphakathi kwechibi, yena eyedwa emhlabathini.
48 And when he saw them toiling hard in rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the lake. And he would have passed by them;
Wabona abafundi begwedla ngamandla emagagasini ngoba umoya wawuphambana labo. Kwathi ngomlindo wesine ebusuku waya kubo ehamba phezu kwechibi. Wayengathi usesedlula kubo
49 but they, seeing him walking upon the lake, thought it was a spectre, and cried out.
kodwa bathi bembona ehamba phezu kwesiziba bacabanga ukuthi lithonga. Bahlaba umkhosi
50 For they all saw him, and were terrified. But he immediately spoke with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer; it is I, be not afraid.
ngoba bonke bambona besaba. Masinyane wabakhulumisa wathi, “Manini isibindi! Yimi. Lingesabi.”
51 And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly astonished, beyond measure.
Wasengena kubo esikepeni umoya wahle wathula. Bamangala kakhulu,
52 For they did not consider the matter of the loaves; but their heart was hardened.
ngoba babengazwisisanga ngezinkwa; inhliziyo zabo zazilukhuni.
53 And crossing over, they came to land, to Gennesaret; and anchored there.
Bathi sebechaphile, bafikela eGenesaretha bamisa khonapho.
54 And when they had come out of the boat, the people immediately knowing who he was,
Bonela ukuphuma esikepeni abantu bahle bamnanzelela uJesu.
55 ran through all that region, and began to carry about on beds those that were sick to the place where they heard he was.
Bagijima indawana yonke kulowomango bethwala abagulayo ngamacansi bebasa kuzozonke indawo ababemzwela khona.
56 And wherever he entered into villages or cities or the open country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.
Loba wayengaze aye ngaphi, emizini, emadolobheni loba emaphandleni, babeka abagulayo ezindaweni zokuthengisela. Bamncenga ukuthi abavumele bathinte nje umphetho wesigqoko sakhe, kwathi bonke labo abamthintayo basila.
