Mark 8
1 In those days, there being again a great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, he called the disciples to him, and saith to them,
Ngalezonsuku kwakukhona ixuku elikhulu kakhulu, njalo lalingelakho okokudla, uJesu wabizela kuye abafundi bakhe wathi kubo:
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.
Ngilesihelo ngexuku; ngoba sebehlezi lami insuku ezintathu, bengelalutho lokudla;
3 And if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; and some of them have come from altar.
njalo uba ngibayekela baye emakhaya abo bengadlanga, bazayatha endleleni; ngoba abanye babo bavela khatshana.
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness?
Abafundi bakhe basebemphendula bathi: Zingavela ngaphi izinkwa umuntu angasuthisa ngazo laba lapha enkangala?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Wasebabuza wathi: Lilezinkwa ezingaki? Basebesithi: Eziyisikhombisa.
6 And he ordered the multitude to lie down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
Waselaya ixuku ukuthi lihlale phansi emhlabathini; wasethatha izinkwa eziyisikhombisa, esebongile wazihlephula wazinika abafundi bakhe, ukuthi babeke phambi kwabo; basebebeka phambi kwexuku.
7 And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.
Njalo babelenhlanzana ezinlutshwana; esebusisile wathi bazibeke lazo phambi kwabo.
8 And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
Basebesidla, basutha; basebedobha imvuthu ezazisele, izitsha eziyisikhombisa.
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
Lababedlile babengaba zinkulungwane ezine; wasebayekela bahamba.
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
Njalo wahle wangena emkhunjini labafundi bakhe, weza kungxenye zeDalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came out, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.
AbaFarisi basebephuma, baqala ukuphikisana laye, befunisisa kuye isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini, bemlinga.
12 And sighing deeply in his spirit, he saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Truly do I say to you, A sign will not he given to this generation.
Wasebubula kakhulu emoyeni wakhe wathi: Lesisizukulwana sidingelani isibonakaliso? Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kakulasibonakaliso esizanikwa kulesisizukulwana.
13 And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
Wasebatshiya, wangena emkhunjini futhi, wasuka waya ngaphetsheya.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
Kodwa abafundi babekhohliwe ukuthatha izinkwa, njalo bengelalutho emkhunjini ngaphandle kwesinkwa esisodwa.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.
Wasebalaya, wathi: Nanzelelani, liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi lemvubelo kaHerodi.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
Basebekhulumisana, besithi: Ngoba kasilazinkwa.
17 And knowing it, he saith to them, Why are ye reasoning, because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your mind still blinded?
UJesu esekwazi wathi kubo: Kungani likhulumisana ngokuthi kalilazinkwa? Kalikaboni, njalo kaliqedisisi yini? Lokhe lilenhliziyo ezilukhuni yini?
18 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember,
Lilamehlo kaliboni yini? Futhi lilendlebe kalizwa yini? Njalo kalikhumbuli yini?
19 when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up? They say to him, Twelve.
Mhla ngahlephulela abazinkulungwane ezinhlanu izinkwa ezinhlanu, ladobha izitsha ezingaki ezigcwele imvuthu? Bathi kuye: Ezilitshumi lambili.
20 When also the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they say, Seven.
Njalo mhla ziyisikhombisa kwabazinkulungwane ezine, ladobha izitsha ezingaki ezigcwele imvuthu? Basebesithi: Eziyisikhombisa.
21 And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
Wasesithi kubo: Yinindaba lingaqedisisi?
22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
Wasefika eBhethisayida. Basebeletha kuye isiphofu, bamncenga ukuthi asithinte.
23 And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the village; and spitting on his eyes, and putting his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
Wasebamba isandla sesiphofu, wasikhuphela ngaphandle komzana; esekhafulele emehlweni aso, wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwaso, wasibuza ukuthi ngabe sibona ulutho.
24 And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
Sasesikhangela phezulu sathi: Ngibona abantu behambahamba kungathi yizihlahla.
25 Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.
Emva kwalokhu wabuya wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwamehlo aso, wasenza sakhangela phezulu; sasesisiliswa, sabona bonke ngokucacileyo.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.
Wasesithuma endlini yaso, wathi: Ungangeni emzaneni, njalo ungatsheli muntu loyedwa emzaneni.
27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?
UJesu wasephuma labafundi bakhe baya emizaneni yeKesariya yeFiliphu; besendleleni wababuza abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: Abantu bathi ngingubani?
28 And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
Basebephendula bathi: UJohane uMbhabhathizi; labanye: UElija; labanye: Omunye wabaprofethi.
29 And he asked them, But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering saith to him, Thou art the Christ.
Yena wasesithi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani? UPetro wasephendula wathi kuye: Wena unguKristu.
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
Wasebalayisisa ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ngaye.
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again;
Waseqala ukubafundisa, ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu imele ukuhlupheka izinto ezinengi, ilahlwe ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali, ibulawe, ibuye ivuke emva kwensuku ezintathu.
32 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
Waselikhuluma lelilizwi obala. UPetro wasemthatha waqala ukumkhuza.
33 But he turning about and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan! for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those of men.
Kodwa etshibilika, wabona abafundi bakhe, wamkhuza uPetro, wathi: Suka ngemva kwami, Sathane; ngoba kawucabangi ngezinto zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngezabantu.
34 And calling the multitude to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever chooseth to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Kwathi esebizele kuye ixuku kanye labafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele.
35 For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad tidings, will save it.
Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe, izamlahlekela; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami levangeli, yena uzayisindisa.
36 For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
Ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu, nxa ezuza umhlaba wonke, kodwa alahlekelwe ngumphefumulo wakhe?
37 For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
Kumbe umuntu uzanikani kube lihlawulo lomphefumulo wakhe?
38 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Ngoba loba ngubani olenhloni ngami langamazwi ami kulesisizukulwana esifebayo lesonakeleyo, iNdodana yomuntu layo izakuba lenhloni ngaye, nxa isiza enkazimulweni kaYise kanye lengilosi ezingcwele.
