< Mark 1 >

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ;
Ukuqala kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu;
2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way;”
njengokulotshiweyo kubaprofethiukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
3 “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!”
Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani izindledlana zayo.
4 John the Baptizer appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Kweza uJohane ebhabhathiza enkangala, etshumayela ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono,
5 And there went out to him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
njalo kwaphumela kuye ilizwe lonke leJudiya, labo abeJerusalema, basebebhabhathizwa bonke nguye emfuleni iJordani, bevuma izono zabo.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leathern girdle about his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
Futhi uJohane wayembethe uboya bekamela, elozwezwe lwesikhumba ekhalweni lwakhe, wayesidla intethe loluju lweganga.
7 And he preached, saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
Watshumayela, esithi: Olamandla kulami uyeza emva kwami, engingafanele ukukhothama ngithukulule umchilo wamanyathela akhe.
8 I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
Mina isibili ngilibhabhathize ngamanzi; kodwa yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
9 And it came to pass that in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku kwafika uJesu evela eNazaretha yeGalili, wabhabhathizwa nguJohane eJordani.
10 And immediately on coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens parted, and the Spirit descending as a dove upon him.
Wenela ukukhuphuka emanzini, wabona amazulu eqhekezeka, loMoya kungathi lijuba esehlela phezu kwakhe;
11 And there was a voice from the heavens, “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
kwasekusiza ilizwi livela emazulwini, lathi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo.
12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.
Njalo uMoya wahle wamqhubela enkangala.
13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
Wayekhona-ke lapho enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane, wayelezilo, ingilosi zasezimnceda.
14 But after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the glad tidings of God,
Kwathi emva kokunikelwa kukaJohane, uJesu wafika eGalili, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu,
15 [[saying, ]] The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the glad tidings.
njalo esithi: Isikhathi sigcwalisekile, njalo umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele; phendukani, likholwe ivangeli.
16 And as he was passing along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon dragging a net in the lake; for they were fishers.
Kwathi ehambahamba elwandle lweGalili wabona uSimoni loAndreya umfowabo, bephosela imbule olwandle; ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
17 And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will cause you to become fishers of men.
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngilandelani, ngizalenza libe ngabagoli babantu.
18 And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
Njalo bahle batshiya amambule abo, bamlandela.
19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets;
Eseqhubeke ibangana esuka lapho, wabona uJakobe okaZebediya, loJohane umfowabo, labo babesemkhunjini belungisa amambule abo.
20 and immediately he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, they went after him.
Njalo wahle wababiza; basebetshiya uyise uZebediya emkhunjini leziqhatshwa, basuka bamlandela.
21 And they enter Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath he was teaching in the synagogue.
Basebengena eKapenawume; kwathi ngesabatha wahle wangena esinagogeni, wafundisa.
22 And they were astonished at his teaching; for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
Basebebabaza ngemfundiso yakhe; ngoba wabafundisa njengolamandla, njalo kungenjengababhali.
23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
Futhi kwakukhona esinagogeni labo umuntu owayelomoya ongcolileyo, wasememeza,
24 saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Thou hast come to destroy us; we know who thou art, the Holy One of God.
wathi: Yekela, silani lawe, Jesu weNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa yini? Ngiyakwazi wena ukuthi ungubani: ONgcwele kaNkulunkulu.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, [[saying, ]] Be silent, and come out of him.
UJesu wasemkhuza, wathi: Thula, uphume kuye.
26 And the unclean spirit convulsing him, and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
Futhi umoya ongcolileyo emhlukuluza ekhala ngelizwi elikhulu, waphuma kuye.
27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned each other, saying, What is this? New teaching with authority; even the unclean spirits doth he command, and they obey him!
Basebemangala bonke, baze babuzana, bathi: Kuyini lokhu? Yimfundiso bani entsha le, ukuthi ngamandla uyalaya labomoya abangcolileyo, futhi bamlalele.
28 And immediately his fame spread abroad everywhere through the whole surrounding country of Galilee.
Njalo yahle yaphuma indumela yakhe esigabeni sonke seGalili esizingelezeleyo.
29 And having come out of the synagogue, they immediately entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Njalo bahle baphuma esinagogeni, bangena endlini kaSimoni loAndreya, kanye loJakobe loJohane.
30 And Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and they immediately speak to him about her.
Futhi uninazala kaSimoni wayelele eloqhuqho, njalo bahle bamtshela ngaye;
31 And he went to her, and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she waited on them.
wasesondela, wabamba isandla sakhe wamvusa; futhi uqhuqho lwahle lwamyekela, wabasebenzela.
32 And in the evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed by demons;
Kwathi sekuhlwile, ilanga selitshona, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo lababengenwe ngamadimoni;
33 and the whole city was assembled at the door.
njalo umuzi wonke wawubuthene emnyango.
34 And he healed many that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Wasesilisa abanengi ababegula izifo ezitshiyeneyo, wakhupha amadimoni amanengi, kodwa kavumelanga amadimoni ukuthi akhulume, ngoba ayemazi.
35 And rising early, long before day, he went out, and withdrew into a desert place, and there prayed.
Njalo ekuseni kusesemnyama kakhulu wavuka waphuma, waya endaweni eyinkangala, wakhuleka khona.
36 And Simon and those with him went in search of him,
USimoni lababelaye basebemdingisisa;
37 and found him. And they say to him, All people are in search of thee.
sebemtholile bathi kuye: Bonke bayakudinga.
38 And he saith to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighboring towns, that I may preach there also; for, for this I came forth.
Wasesithi kubo: Asiye emizini eseduze, ukuze ngitshumayele lakhona; ngoba ngiphumele lokhu.
39 And he went, preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out the demons.
Wasetshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke eleGalili, ekhupha amadimoni.
40 And there cometh a leper to him beseeching him, and kneeling down, saying to him, If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.
Kwasekufika kuye umlephero, emncenga eguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, esithi kuye: Aluba uthanda, ungangihlambulula.
41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith, I will; be thou cleansed.
UJesu wasesiba lesihelo, welula isandla, wamthinta, wathi kuye: Ngiyathanda, hlambuluka;
42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
esekhulumile bahle basuka ubulephero kuye, wahlanjululwa.
43 And sternly charging him, he immediately sent him away,
Wasemlayisisa, wahle wamyekela wahamba,
44 saying to him, See that thou say nothing to any one; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
esithi kuye: Khangela ungatsheli muntu ulutho; kodwa hamba, uziveze kumpristi, unikele ngokuhlanjululwa kwakho lokho uMozisi akulayayo, kube yibufakazi kubo.
45 But he went away, and began to publish it constantly, and to spread the matter abroad, so that Jesus could no more enter a city openly, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.
Kodwa yena esephumile waqala ukumemezela kakhulu walwandisa udaba, kwaze kwathi wayengaselakho ukungena emzini obala, kodwa wayengaphandle ezindaweni ezizinkangala; beza kuye bevela enhlangothini zonke.
