UMakho 16
1 Kwathi iSabatha seledlule, uMariya Magadalini, loMariya unina kaJakhobe loSalome bathenga amakha ukuze bayeqhola ngawo isidumbu sikaJesu.
And when the sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalena, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought aromatics, that they might come and anoint him.
2 Ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku lokuqala lweviki, ilanga liphuma basebesendleleni besiya ethuneni,
And in the morning of the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre as the sun arose.
3 babuzana bathi, “Ngubani ozasigiqela ilitshe lisuke emlonyeni wethuna na?”
And they said among them. selves: Who will roll back for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 Kodwa bathi bayakhangela babona ilitshe, elalilikhulu kakhulu, seligiqelwe eceleni.
And they looked, and saw that the stone was rolled away; for it was very great.
5 Bathi bengena ethuneni babona ijaha ligqoke isembatho esimhlophe lihlezi ngakwesokunene, bethuka kakhulu.
And entering the sepulchre, they saw a youth sitting on the right hand, and clothed in a white robe: and they were in perturbation.
6 Lathi, “Lingaze lethuka. Lidinga uJesu umNazarini obebethelwe. Usevukile! Kakho lapha. Bonani, nansi indawo lapho bebembeke khona.
But he said to them: Be not affrighted. Ye are seeking Jesus the Nazarean, who was crucified. He is risen; he is not here. Behold the place where he was laid.
7 Kodwa hambani liyotshela abafundi bakhe loPhethro lithi, ‘Usehamba phambi kwenu ukuya eGalile. Lizambona khonale, njengoba walitshela.’”
But go, tell his disciples and Cephas: Lo, he precedeth you into Galilee; there will ye see him, as he said to you.
8 Ngokuthuthumela langokudideka, abesifazane baphuma bebaleka ethuneni. Kabakhulumanga lutho lakubani ngoba babesesaba. [
And when they heard, they fled and left the sepulchre; for astonishment and trembling had seized them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were in fear.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) UJesu esevukile ekuseni ngelanga lokuqala evikini waqala wabonakala kuMariya Magadalini yena lowo ayekhuphe kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) And in the morning of the first day of the week, he arose; and he appeared first to Mary Magdalena, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10 Yena wahamba wayabikela labo uJesu ayephile labo ababesesililweni sakhe.
And she went and told them that had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping.
11 Bathi besizwa ukuthi uJesu uyaphila lokuthi uMariya wayembonile, kabazange bakukholwe.
And they, when they heard the women say that he was alive, and that he had appeared to them, did not believe them.
12 Ngemva kwalokho uJesu wabonakala ngesinye isimo kwababili babo abafica behamba kulelolizwe emaphandleni.
After this he appeared, under another aspect, to two of them as they walked and went into the country.
13 Labo babuyela bayabikela abanye, kodwa labo kabazange babakholwe.
And these went and told the rest; but they would not believe them
14 Ngemva kwalokho uJesu wabonakala kwabalitshumi lanye besidla; wabakhuza ngokungakholwa kwabo langobulukhuni benhliziyo zabo bengabakholwa labo ababembonile ngemva kokuvuka kwakhe.
And at last, he appeared to the eleven: as they reclined at table; and he reproved the slenderness of their faith, and the hardness of their heart; because they believed not those who had seen him actually risen.
15 Wathi kubo, “Hambani emhlabeni wonke litshumayele ivangeli kukho konke okwadalwayo.
And he said to them: Go ye into all the world, and proclaim my tidings in the whole creation.
16 Loba ngubani okholwayo abhaphathizwe uzasindiswa, kodwa lowo ongakholwayo uzalahlwa.
He that believeth, and is baptized, liveth; but he that believeth not, is condemned.
17 Lezizibonakaliso zizabalandela labo abakholwayo: Ngebizo lami bazakhupha amadimoni; bazakhuluma ngendimi ezintsha;
And these signs shall attend them that believe: In my name, they will cast out demons; and in new tongues will they speak.
18 bazadobha izinyoka ngezandla zabo; bazakuthi banganatha okubulalayo kungaze kwabalimaza lakancinyane; bazabeka izandla zabo phezu kwabantu abagulayo, basile.”
And they will take up serpents; and if they should drink a deadly poison, it will not harm them; and they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.
19 Ngemva kokuba iNkosi uJesu esekhulume labo, wenyukiselwa ezulwini, wahlala ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.
And Jesus, our Lord, after he had conversed with them, ascended to heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 Abafundi bahamba bayatshumayela ezindaweni zonke iNkosi yasebenza labo yaqinisa ilizwi layo ngezibonakaliso ezazilisekela.]
And they went forth, and preached everywhere: and our Lord aided them, and confirmed their discourses by the signs which they wrought. Completion of the Holy Gospels, the announcement of Mark; which he uttered and proclaimed in Latin at Rome.
