UMakho 1
1 Ukuqala kwevangeli ngoJesu Khristu, indodana kaNkulunkulu.
The beginning of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST the Son of GOD.
2 Kulotshiwe kumphrofethi u-Isaya ukuthi: “Ngizathuma isithunywa sami phambi kwakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho”:
As it is written in the prophets, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"
3 “ilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala, ‘Lungiselani iNkosi indlela, yenzeleni izindledlana eziqondileyo.’”
and again, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:" accordingly John came baptizing in the wilderness,
4 Kwasekufika uJohane Umbhaphathizi, etshumayela emangweni wasenkangala ubhaphathizo lokuphenduka ukuze kuthethelelwe izono.
and preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
5 Umango wonke waseJudiya kanye labantu bonke baseJerusalema baphuma baya kuye. Bevuma izono zabo, babhaphathizwa nguye eMfuleni uJodani.
and all the country of Judea, and those of Jerusalem, went out to him, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 UJohane wayevunula izigqoko ezazenziwe ngoboya bekamela, elebhanti lesikhumba okhalweni lwakhe, esidla intethe loluju lwezinyosi zeganga.
And John was clothed with camels hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and he lived upon locusts and wild honey: and he preached,
7 Intshumayelo yakhe yayisithi: “Ngemva kwami kuzafika omunye ozaba lamandla kulami, imichilo yamanyathela akhe akungilingananga ukuthi ngikhothame ngiyithukulule.
saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop and unloose.
8 Mina ngilibhaphathiza ngamanzi, kodwa yena uzalibhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.”
I indeed have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the holy Spirit.
9 Ngalesosikhathi uJesu weza evela eNazaretha eseGalile wabhaphathizwa nguJohane kuJodani.
And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan:
10 UJesu ephuma emanzini wabona izulu livuleka uMoya usehlela phezu kwakhe unjengejuba.
and as soon as He came up from the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.
11 Kwafika ilizwi livela ezulwini lathi: “Wena uyiNdodana yami engiyithandayo; ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngawe.”
And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Masinyane uMoya wamthumela enkangala,
And immediately the Spirit taketh Him out into the wilderness:
13 wahlala khona enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane. Wayehlala lezinyamazana zeganga, izingilosi zazomnakekela.
and He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts: and angels ministred unto Him.
14 UJohane esevalelwe entolongweni, uJesu waya eGalile ememezela izindaba ezinhle zikaNkulunkulu.
Now after John was cast into prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 Wathi, “Isikhathi sesifikile. Umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususeduze. Phendukani likholwe izindaba ezinhle!”
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Kwathi uJesu ehambahamba okhunjini loLwandle lwaseGalile wabona uSimoni lomfowabo u-Andreya bephosa umambule olwandle ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
And as He was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea,
17 Wathi kubo, “Wozani lingilandele, ngizalenza abagoli babantu.”
(for they were fishermen, ) and Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men:
18 Bahle batshiya omambule babo bamlandela.
and immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Wathi esehambile elinye ibanga wabona uJakhobe indodana kaZebhediya elomfowabo uJohane besesikepeni, belungisa omambule babo.
And going a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship, mending their nets, and immediately called them likewise:
20 Wahle wababiza, batshiya uyise uZebhediya esikepeni kanye lezisebenzi bamlandela.
and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the men he had hired, and went along with Him.
21 Baya eKhaphenawume, kwathi iSabatha selifikile, uJesu waya esinagogeni waqalisa ukufundisa.
And they went into Capernaum: and going directly into the synagogue on the sabbath, He taught the people: and they were astonished at his doctrine;
22 Abantu bamangaliswa yikufundisa kwakhe ngoba wayefundisa njengomuntu olamandla, hatshi njengabafundisi bomthetho.
for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Khonokho nje indoda eyayisesinagogeni labo eyayiphethwe ngumoya omubi yamemeza yathi,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an impure spirit,
24 “Ufunani kithi, Jesu waseNazaretha? Ulande ukuza sibhubhisa na? Ngiyakwazi ukuthi ungubani, ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu!”
and he cried out, saying, Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the holy one of God.
25 UJesu wakhwaza wathi kuye “Thula! Phuma kuye!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him: and the impure spirit threw him into convulsions,
26 Umoya omubi wayidlukuza ngamandla indoda waphuma kuyo uklabalala.
and roaring with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Abantu bamangala baze babuzana bathi, “Kuyini lokhu? Yikufundisa okutsha njalo okulamandla! Ngoba ulaya imimoya emibi imlalele.”
And they were all amazed, so that they inquired of each other, saying, What is this, what new kind of doctrine is this? for He commands with authority even the impure spirits, and they obey Him.
28 Izindaba ngaye zamemetheka ngokuphangisa kuwo wonke umango waseGalile.
And straitway his fame spread into all the country round about Galilee.
29 Bonela ukusuka esinagogeni bahamba loJakhobe loJohane baya emzini kaSimoni lo-Andreya.
And as soon as they came out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, together with James and John.
30 Uninazala kaSimoni wayelele phansi ephethwe ngumkhuhlane, basebetshela uJesu ngaye.
And Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever: and they immediately told Him of her:
31 Ngakho wasesiya kuye, wambamba isandla wasemvusa. Umkhuhlane waphuma kuye, wahle waqalisa ukubaphakela.
and He came to her, and taking her by the hand raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she waited upon them.
32 Ngaleyontambama ilanga selitshonile abantu baletha kuJesu bonke abagulayo labaphethwe ngamadimoni.
And in the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were ill, and demoniacs:
33 Idolobho lonke lagcwala emnyango,
and the whole city was gathered together at the door;
34 uJesu wasilisa abanengi ababelezifo ezehlukeneyo. Njalo wakhupha amadimoni amanengi, kodwa kaze awavumela amadimoni ukuthi akhulume ngoba ayemazi ukuthi ungubani.
and He healed many that were ill of various diseases, and cast out many devils, and suffered not the devils to say that they knew Him.
35 Ekuseni kakhulu, kusesempondozankomo, uJesu wavuka, waphuma endlini waya endaweni esekusithekeni, lapho akhuleka khona.
And in the morning, before it was light, He rose up and went out, and retired into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 USimoni labakhula bakhe bahamba ukuyamdinga,
And Simon, and they that were with him, went in quest of Him:
37 sebembonile, bathi, “Abantu bonke bayakudinga!”
and when they found Him, they said to Him, all the people are seeking for thee.
38 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kasiyeni kwenye indawo, emizini eseduze ukuze ngiyetshumayela lakhona. Yikho engakulandayo.”
And He saith unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for this was the end of my coming.
39 Kanjalo walibhoda lonke elaseGalile etshumayela emasinagogweni abo njalo ekhupha amadimoni.
And He went preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Kweza kuye indoda eyayilobulephero yamncenga iguqe phansi ngamadolo yathi, “Nxa uthanda ungangihlambulula.”
And there came to Him a leper, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me:
41 UJesu eyizwela isihawu welula isandla sakhe wayibamba indoda. Wathi, “Ngiyathanda. Hlanzeka!”
and Jesus, being moved with compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him, and saith unto Him, I will;
42 Masinyane ubulephero baphela, wahlambuluka.
be thou healed: and as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed.
43 UJesu wahle wathi kahambe, wamqonqosela wathi,
And he gave him a strict charge, and immediately dismissed him,
44 “Zwana, ungatsheli muntu ngalokhu. Kodwa hamba uyeziveza kumphristi ubusunikela umhlatshelo wokuhlanjululwa kwakho owamiswa nguMosi ukuze kube yibufakazi kubo.”
and saith unto him, See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification what Moses has commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 Kodwa wasuka wahle wavula isifuba sakhe wayisakaza indaba. Ngenxa yalokho uJesu wayengabe esangena obala edolobheni, kodwa wasehlala ngaphandle endaweni eziyinkangala. Loba kunjalo abantu babelokhu bethululeka besiza kuye beqhamuka inxa zonke.
But when he was gone he began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the report: so that Jesus could no more go openly into the city, but kept out in country places: and they came to Him from all parts.
