Matthew 9
1 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.
Wasengena emkhunjini wachapha wafika emzini wakibo.
2 And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven.
Futhi khangela, baletha kuye umuntu owome umhlubulo elele ehlakeni; uJesu ebona-ke ukholo lwabo wathi koyisigoga: Mana isibindi, ndodana; uthethelelwe izono zakho.
3 And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
Njalo khangela, abanye bababhali bakhulumela ngaphakathi bathi: Lo uyahlambaza.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
Njalo uJesu ebona imicabango yabo wathi: Lina linakanelani okubi enhliziyweni zenu?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk?
Ngoba yikuphi okulula, ukuthi: Uthethelelwe izono zakho; kumbe ukuthi: Sukuma uhambe?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.
Kodwa ukuze lazi ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu ilamandla emhlabeni okuthethelela izono (wasesithi kowome umhlubulo): Sukuma uthathe uhlaka lwakho, uye endlini yakho.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
Wasesukuma waya endlini yakhe.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
Kwathi amaxuku esebonile, amangala, adumisa uNkulunkulu, onike abantu amandla anje.
9 And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Esedlula lapho uJesu wabona umuntu, othiwa nguMathewu, ehlezi endlini yokuthelisela, wathi kuye: Ngilandela. Wasesukuma wamlandela.
10 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
Kwasekusithi ehlezi ekudleni endlini, khangela-ke, abathelisi abanengi lezoni beza bahlala ekudleni loJesu labafundi bakhe.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with the publicans and sinners?
AbaFarisi sebebonile bathi kubafundi bakhe: Kungani umfundisi wenu esidla labathelisi lezoni?
12 But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
Kwathi uJesu esizwa wathi kubo: Abaphilileyo kabadingi melaphi, kodwa abagulayo.
13 But go ye and learn what [this] meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
Kodwa hambani lifunde ukuthi kutshoniukuthi: Ngifuna isihawu, njalo hatshi umhlatshelo; ngoba angizanga ukubiza abalungileyo, kodwa izoni zize ekuphendukeni.
14 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
Khona kwafika kuye abafundi bakaJohane, besithi: Kungani thina labaFarisi sizila ukudla kanengi, kodwa abafundi bakho bengazili ukudla?
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast.
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Abantwana bendlu yomthimba bangalila yini, selokhu umyeni elabo? Kodwa zizafika insuku lapho umyeni ezasuswa kubo; khona-ke bezazila ukudla.
16 And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made.
Futhi kakho obekela isichibi selembu elingakafinyeli esembathweni esidala; ngoba lokho okubekelwe kuso kuzadabuka esembathweni, besesiqhela isikhala.
17 Neither do [men] put new wine into old wineskins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.
Njalo kabatheli iwayini elitsha emigodleni emidala; uba-ke kungenjalo imigodla iyadabuka, lewayini lichitheke, lemigodla yonakale; kodwa iwayini elitsha balifaka emigodleni emitsha, besekulondolozeka kokubili.
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
Kwathi esakhuluma lezizinto kubo, khangela, kwafika umphathi othile waguqa phambi kwakhe, wathi: Indodakazi yami isanda ukufa; kodwa woza ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo, njalo izaphila.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
Wasesukuma uJesu wamlandela, labafundi bakhe.
20 And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:
Njalo khangela, owesifazana owayelomopho okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, weza ngemuva kwakhe, wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe.
21 for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole.
Ngoba wathi ngaphakathi kwakhe: Aluba ngithinta nje isembatho sakhe, ngizasindiswa.
22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Kodwa uJesu etshibilika embona, wathi: Mana isibindi, ndodakazi; ukholo lwakho lukusindisile. Owesifazana wasesila kusukela ngalelohola.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult,
UJesu wasefika endlini yomphathi, wabona abakhalisa imihlanga lexuku liphithizela,
24 he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
wathi kubo: Dedani; ngoba intombazana kayifanga, kodwa ilele. Basebemhleka usulu.
25 But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose.
Kodwa ixuku selikhutshiwe, wangena wabamba isandla sayo, intombazana yasivuka.
26 And the fame hereof went forth into all that land.
Indumela yalokho yasiphumela kulelolizwe lonke.
27 And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David.
Kwathi uJesu esedlula lapho, iziphofu ezimbili zamlandela, zimemeza zisithi: Sihawukele, Ndodana kaDavida!
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
Esengenile endlini, iziphofu zeza kuye; uJesu wasesithi kuzo: Liyakholwa yini ukuthi ngingakwenza lokhu? Zathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you.
Wasethinta amehlo azo, wathi: Akwenzeke kini njengokholo lwenu.
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
Asevulwa amehlo azo; uJesu wasezilayisisa kakhulu wathi: Qaphelani, kakungabi lamuntu okwaziyo.
31 But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
Kodwa zaphuma zafakaza ngaye kulo lonke lelolizwe.
32 And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
Kwathi ekuphumeni kwazo, khangela, baletha kuye umuntu oyisimungulu owayengenwe lidimoni;
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spake: and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
kwathi idimoni selikhutshiwe, isimungulu sakhuluma; amaxuku asemangala, athi: Kakuzanga kubonwe okunje koIsrayeli.
34 But the Pharisees said, By the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
Kodwa abaFarisi bathi: Ukhupha amadimoni ngenkosi yamadimoni.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.
UJesu wasebhoda emizini yonke lemizaneni, efundisa emasinagogeni abo, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso, eselapha sonke isifo lobuthakathaka bonke ebantwini.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd.
Kwathi ebona amaxuku, waba lesihelo ngawo, ngoba ayekhathele ehlakazekile njengezimvu ezingelamelusi.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.
Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Isibili isivuno sikhulu, kodwa izisebenzi zinlutshwana;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
ngakho ncengani iNkosi yesivuno, ukuze ithume izisebenzi esivunweni sayo.
