UMakho 1
1 Ukuqala kwevangeli ngoJesu Khristu, indodana kaNkulunkulu.
Shisoweru Shiwagira ashi sha Yesu Kristu, Mwana gwa Mlungu.
2 Kulotshiwe kumphrofethi u-Isaya ukuthi: “Ngizathuma isithunywa sami phambi kwakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho”:
Yankuyanja gambira Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu ntambu yakalembiti, “Mlungu kalongiti, ‘Guloli numtuma ntumintumi gwangu hakakulonguleri Hakakunywawili njira yaku.’
3 “ilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala, ‘Lungiselani iNkosi indlela, yenzeleni izindledlana eziqondileyo.’”
Liziwu lya muntu lipikanika kushiwala, ‘Mumtenderi kala Mtuwa njira yakuwi, mumnyawili weri njira zyakuwi!’”
4 Kwasekufika uJohane Umbhaphathizi, etshumayela emangweni wasenkangala ubhaphathizo lokuphenduka ukuze kuthethelelwe izono.
Yohani kalawiriti kushiwala, kawabwelera wantu na kuwabatiza, pakawagambira, “Mleki vidoda vyenu na mbatizwi na Mlungu hakawalekiziyi vidoda vyenu.”
5 Umango wonke waseJudiya kanye labantu bonke baseJerusalema baphuma baya kuye. Bevuma izono zabo, babhaphathizwa nguye eMfuleni uJodani.
Wantu wavuwa wamgenderiti Yohani, wantu yawalawiti Yerusalemu na Yudeya, walekiti vidoda vyawatenditi na yomberi kawabatiziti mulushemba lwa Yoridani.
6 UJohane wayevunula izigqoko ezazenziwe ngoboya bekamela, elebhanti lesikhumba okhalweni lwakhe, esidla intethe loluju lwezinyosi zeganga.
Yohani kavaliti nguwu yayinyawitwi kwa mibaira ya nkanyama ngamiya, mushunu kalitawiti lugoyi lwa lukuli na shiboga shakuwi shiweriti lwashi na wanjombi.
7 Intshumayelo yakhe yayisithi: “Ngemva kwami kuzafika omunye ozaba lamandla kulami, imichilo yamanyathela akhe akungilingananga ukuthi ngikhothame ngiyithukulule.
Yohani kabweriti pakalonga, “Pa neni kankwiza muntu mkulu kuliku neni. Neni nfaa ndiri ata kuyopola lugoyi lwa vilwatu vyakuwi.
8 Mina ngilibhaphathiza ngamanzi, kodwa yena uzalibhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.”
Neni nukubatizani kwa mashi, kumbiti yomberi hakawabatizani kwa Rohu Mnanagala.”
9 Ngalesosikhathi uJesu weza evela eNazaretha eseGalile wabhaphathizwa nguJohane kuJodani.
Mashaka galii Yesu kiziti kulawa Nazareti lushi lwa Galilaya na kabatiziwitwi na Yohani mulushemba lwa Yoridani.
10 UJesu ephuma emanzini wabona izulu livuleka uMoya usehlela phezu kwakhe unjengejuba.
Pala palii Yesu pakalawiti mumashi, kawona kumpindi kwa Mlungu kuvuguka na Rohu Mnanagala kamkangalira gambira ng'unda.
11 Kwafika ilizwi livela ezulwini lathi: “Wena uyiNdodana yami engiyithandayo; ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngawe.”
Na liziwu lilawira kumpindi kwa Mlungu, lilonga, “Gwenga gwa Mwana gwangu yanukufira, gunfiriziya.”
12 Masinyane uMoya wamthumela enkangala,
Pala palii Rohu Mnanagala kamlonguziyiti Yesu kushiwala.
13 wahlala khona enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane. Wayehlala lezinyamazana zeganga, izingilosi zazomnakekela.
Su kaweriti kushiwala aku mashaka malongu msheshi, pakajeresiwa na Shetani. Kalikaliti aku pamuhera na wankanyama wa kuntundu na wantumintumi wa kumpindi wamtenderiti.
14 UJohane esevalelwe entolongweni, uJesu waya eGalile ememezela izindaba ezinhle zikaNkulunkulu.
Yohani pawamtatiriti kala mushibetubetu, Yesu kagenditi lushi lwa Galilaya, kulii kanjiti kubwera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Mlungu,
15 Wathi, “Isikhathi sesifikile. Umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususeduze. Phendukani likholwe izindaba ezinhle!”
pakalonga, “Shipindi shiza! Ufalumi wa Mlungu wapakwegera. Mleki vidoda vyamtenda na mushijimiri Shisoweru Shiwagira!”
16 Kwathi uJesu ehambahamba okhunjini loLwandle lwaseGalile wabona uSimoni lomfowabo u-Andreya bephosa umambule olwandle ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
Yesu kaweriti kankupita mumpeku mwa litanda lya Galilaya, kamwona Simoni na Andereya mlongu gwakuwi, womberi waweriti wankulowa wasomba.
17 Wathi kubo, “Wozani lingilandele, ngizalenza abagoli babantu.”
Yesu kawagambira, “Munfati neni, hanuwafundi mwenga muweri walowa wantu.”
18 Bahle batshiya omambule babo bamlandela.
Pala palii wazileka nyavu zyawu na wamfata.
19 Wathi esehambile elinye ibanga wabona uJakhobe indodana kaZebhediya elomfowabo uJohane besesikepeni, belungisa omambule babo.
Yesu pakagenditi palongolu padidini, kawawoniti Yakobu na Yohani wana wa Zebedayu walivagiti mumtumbwi wankunyawa nyavu zyawu.
20 Wahle wababiza, batshiya uyise uZebhediya esikepeni kanye lezisebenzi bamlandela.
Pala palii Yesu kawashema wamfati, womberi wamleka Zebedayu tati gwawu pamuhera na wantumintumi wakuwi mumtumbwi.
21 Baya eKhaphenawume, kwathi iSabatha selifikile, uJesu waya esinagogeni waqalisa ukufundisa.
Yesu na wantumintumi wakuwi wagenditi lushi lwa Kafarinaumu, palifikiti Lishaka lya Kwoyera Yesu kagenditi munumba ya Mlungu na kanja kufunda.
22 Abantu bamangaliswa yikufundisa kwakhe ngoba wayefundisa njengomuntu olamandla, hatshi njengabafundisi bomthetho.
Wantu yawampikaniriti Yesu walikangashiti nentu ntambu yakafunditi, toziya kafunditi ndiri gambira wafunda wawu wa Malagaliru ga Musa, kumbiti kafunditi gambira muntu yakawera na uwezu.
23 Khonokho nje indoda eyayisesinagogeni labo eyayiphethwe ngumoya omubi yamemeza yathi,
Shipindi shilaa shilii kuweriti na muntu yakaweriti na washamshera Munumba ya Mlungu, yomberi kabotanga,
24 “Ufunani kithi, Jesu waseNazaretha? Ulande ukuza sibhubhisa na? Ngiyakwazi ukuthi ungubani, ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu!”
“Yesu gwa Nazareti, gwana shishi na twenga? Shagwizira gutwagamiziyi? Neni nukumana kala kuwera gwenga gwa gaa, gwenga gwa Mnanagala gwa Mlungu.”
25 UJesu wakhwaza wathi kuye “Thula! Phuma kuye!”
Yesu kamkalipira shamshera ulii, “Umatu, gumwuki muntu ayu.”
26 Umoya omubi wayidlukuza ngamandla indoda waphuma kuyo uklabalala.
Shamshera kambegeziya nentu muntu ulii pakabotanga, shakapanu kamlekeziya.
27 Abantu bamangala baze babuzana bathi, “Kuyini lokhu? Yikufundisa okutsha njalo okulamandla! Ngoba ulaya imimoya emibi imlalele.”
Wantu woseri walikangashiti nentu na wanjiti kulikosiya, “Shishi ashi? Aga mafundu ga syayi yagawera na uwezu! Muntu ayu kawera na makakala ga kuwawinga washamshera na womberi wamjimira!”
28 Izindaba ngaye zamemetheka ngokuphangisa kuwo wonke umango waseGalile.
Su visoweru vyakatenditi Yesu vipikinirika kanongola koseri mumkowa gwa Galilaya.
29 Bonela ukusuka esinagogeni bahamba loJakhobe loJohane baya emzini kaSimoni lo-Andreya.
Palaa palii pawalawiti Munumba ya Mlungu, womberi wagenditi pamuhera na Yakobu na Yohani mpaka ukaya kwa Simoni na Andereya.
30 Uninazala kaSimoni wayelele phansi ephethwe ngumkhuhlane, basebetshela uJesu ngaye.
Pawasokiti palii, womberi wamgambiriti Yesu kuwera mikamwana gwa Simoni kapyupa kagonja mushitanda.
31 Ngakho wasesiya kuye, wambamba isandla wasemvusa. Umkhuhlane waphuma kuye, wahle waqalisa ukubaphakela.
Su Yesu kamgendera mlweri, kamkola liwoku na kumgolosiya, mawu ulii kawera mkomu na kanja kuwatelekera.
32 Ngaleyontambama ilanga selitshonile abantu baletha kuJesu bonke abagulayo labaphethwe ngamadimoni.
Pamihi mshenji paguzyetiti, wantu wamjegera Yesu walweli woseri na walii yawaweriti na washamshera.
33 Idolobho lonke lagcwala emnyango,
Wantu woseri wa lushi lulii wajojinikiti paluwaga lwa numba.
34 uJesu wasilisa abanengi ababelezifo ezehlukeneyo. Njalo wakhupha amadimoni amanengi, kodwa kaze awavumela amadimoni ukuthi akhulume ngoba ayemazi ukuthi ungubani.
Yesu kawaponiziyiti wantu wavuwa yawaweriti na malweri ga kila ntambu. Viraa kawawingiti washamshera, kafiriti ndiri washamshera watakuli shintu shoseri toziya waweriti wankumumana.
35 Ekuseni kakhulu, kusesempondozankomo, uJesu wavuka, waphuma endlini waya endaweni esekusithekeni, lapho akhuleka khona.
Shilawu yakuwi ligonugonu, Yesu kalawa kunja kwa lushi na kagenditi pahala pa gweka kumluwa Mlungu.
36 USimoni labakhula bakhe bahamba ukuyamdinga,
Kumbiti Simoni na wayaguwi wagenditi kumsakula.
37 sebembonile, bathi, “Abantu bonke bayakudinga!”
Na pawamwoniti kala wamgambira, “Kila muntu kankukusakula!”
38 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kasiyeni kwenye indawo, emizini eseduze ukuze ngiyetshumayela lakhona. Yikho engakulandayo.”
Kumbiti Yesu kawankula, “Tugendeni pahala pamonga pa lushi zyaziwera pakwegera, su neni nwezi kubwera aku viraa toziya ashi ndo shashinjegiti kushitenda.”
39 Kanjalo walibhoda lonke elaseGalile etshumayela emasinagogweni abo njalo ekhupha amadimoni.
Su yomberi kagenda Mugalilaya kwoseri pakabwera mnumba za Mlungu na kuwawinga washamshera.
40 Kweza kuye indoda eyayilobulephero yamncenga iguqe phansi ngamadolo yathi, “Nxa uthanda ungangihlambulula.”
Mungumbula yumu kamgenderiti Yesu kasuntumala na kamluwa, “Pagufira gumweni gumpungi neni.”
41 UJesu eyizwela isihawu welula isandla sakhe wayibamba indoda. Wathi, “Ngiyathanda. Hlanzeka!”
Yesu kamwonera lusungu nentu, kamkola liwoku kalonga, “Neni nfira, gupungwi.”
42 Masinyane ubulephero baphela, wahlambuluka.
Palaa palii Muntu ungumbula umlekeziya.
43 UJesu wahle wathi kahambe, wamqonqosela wathi,
Shakapanu Yesu kambereziya muntu ulii, kamlekeziya kagendi zyakuwi
44 “Zwana, ungatsheli muntu ngalokhu. Kodwa hamba uyeziveza kumphristi ubusunikela umhlatshelo wokuhlanjululwa kwakho owamiswa nguMosi ukuze kube yibufakazi kubo.”
pakamgambira, “Nagumgambira muntu yoseri visoweru avi, kumbiti gugendi gwakaliranguziyi kwa mtambika gwa Numba ya Mlungu na gulaviyi malaviwu kwajili ya kupungwa kwaku gambira Musa ntambu yakalagaliriti kuwera ukapitawu kwa woseri kuwera guponiziwa.”
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.
Kumbiti muntu ulii kagenda kanja kubwera visoweru vya kuponiziwa kwakuwi kwa kila yakamwona. Su Yesu kasinda kuliyonisiya mulushi lulii, yomberi kalikaliti pahala pa gweka. Pamuhera na hangu wantu waweriti wankumgendera yomberi kulawa wega zoseri.
