1 Ngesinye isikhathi uJesu wangena esinagogweni, kukhona lapho indoda elesandla esitshwabheneyo.
And he entered again into the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand.
2 Abanye babo babedinga izaba lokubeka uJesu icala, yikho bamlinda ukubona ingabe wayezasilisa ngeSabatha.
And they watched him whether he would heal him on the sabbath day, so that they might accuse him.
3 UJesu wathi endodeni yesandla esitshwabheneyo, “Sukuma ume phambi kwabo bonke.”
And he says to the man who had a withered hand, Stand up in the midst.
4 UJesu wasebabuza wathi, “Kuyini okusemthethweni ngeSabatha; ukwenza okuhle loba ukwenza okubi, ukusindisa impilo kumbe ukubulala?” Kodwa bathula zwi.
And he says to them, Is it permitted to do good on the sabbath day or to do harm, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.
5 Wabakhangela ngolaka, ehlutshwa yibuqholo bezinhliziyo zabo, wasesithi kuleyondoda, “Yelula isandla sakho.” Yaselula, isandla sesilunge saphelela.
And having looked around on them with anger, being grieved at the callousness of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as the other.
6 AbaFarisi basebephuma bayacebisana lamaHerodiya ukuthi bangambulala njani uJesu.
And the Pharisees having gone out, they straightaway were making a plot with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
7 UJesu wasuka labafundi bakhe baya ngasechibini, ixuku elikhulu labalandela lisuka eGalile.
And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him.
8 Bathi ngokuzwa konke ayekwenza abantu abanengi beza kuye besuka eJudiya, eJerusalema, e-Idumiya lemimangweni engaphetsheya kweJodani lezindaweni zeThire leSidoni.
And from Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard how many things he did, came to him.
9 Ngenxa yobunengi babantu watshela abafundi bakhe ukuba bamlungisele isikepe esincane ukuze angaminyezelwa ngabantu.
And he spoke to his disciples that a small boat would stay by him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him.
10 Phela wayesesilise abanengi, yikho labo ababelezifo babeminyezela befuna ukumthinta.
For he healed many, so as to press upon him, so that as many as had afflictions might touch him.
11 Kwakusithi imimoya emibi ingambona iguqe phambi kwakhe imemeze ithi, “UyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.”
And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried out, saying, Thou are the Son of God.
12 Kodwa wayiqonqosela ukuthi ingaze yakhuluma ukuthi ungubani.
And he chided them much that they should not make him known.
13 UJesu wakhwela waya ewatheni lwentaba wabiza labo ayebafuna, beza kuye.
And he goes up onto the mountain, and calls in those whom he himself wanted, and they went to him.
14 Wakhetha abalitshumi lambili ukuthi babelaye ukuze abathume ukuyatshumayela
And he appointed twelve men, so that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
15 lokuthi babelamandla okuxotsha amadimoni.
and to have authority to heal diseases and to cast out demons.
16 Yilaba abalitshumi lambili abakhethayo: uSimoni (ametha ibizo wathi nguPhethro),
And he added to Simon the name Peter;
17 uJakhobe indodana kaZebhediya lomfowabo uJohane (laba wabetha ibizo wathi bango Bhowanegesi, okutsho ukuthi Amadodana Omdumo),
and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he added to them the name Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder;

and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. And they come to a house.
20 UJesu wangena kwenye indlu kwaphinda njalo kwabuthana kuye ixuku, yena labafundi bakhe baze behluleka ukudla.
And the multitude comes together again, so as for them, no, not even to be able to eat bread.
21 Kwathi abendlu yangakwabo bekuzwa lokho bamlanda ukuyambuyisa ngoba bathi, “usephambene.”
And when those with him heard it, they went out to grasp him, for they said, He is beside himself.
22 Kwathi abafundi bomthetho abehla bevela eJerusalema bathi, “Ungenwe nguBhelizebhubhi! Ukhupha amadimoni ngenkosi yamadimoni.”
And the scholars who came down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons.
23 Ngakho uJesu wasebabiza wakhuluma labo ngemizekeliso wathi, “Kambe uSathane angamkhupha kanjani uSathane?
And having summoned them, he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 Nxa umbuso udabuke phakathi, uvukelana, lowombuso ngeke ume.
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 Nxa indlu ingabambananga, ivukelana, leyondlu ngeke ime.
And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 Njalo nxa uSathane eziphikisa, edabuke phakathi, ngeke ame; useyatshabalala.
And if Satan has rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
27 Ngempela, akakho ongangena endlini yesiqhwaga, abuthe impahla zaso ngaphandle kokuthi aqale asibophe lesosiqhwaga, andubana aphange indlu yaso.
But no man, having enter into the house of the strong man, can plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man, and then he may plunder his house.
28 Ngeqiniso ngithi kini, abantu bazakuthethelelwa zonke izono lokuhlambaza kwabo,
Truly I say to you, that all the sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies, as many as they may blaspheme.
30 Wakutsho lokhu ngoba babesithi, “Ulomoya omubi.”
because they said, He has an unclean spirit.
31 Kwasekufika unina kaJesu labafowabo. Bema phandle bathuma omunye umuntu ukuyambiza.
Then his brothers and mother come, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
32 Abantu abanengi babehlezi bemhanqile, basebemtshela bathi, “Unyoko labafowenu baphandle bayakudinga.”
And a multitude was sitting around him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother, and thy brothers, and thy sisters, outside seek for thee.
33 Wabuza wathi, “Ngobani abangumama labafowethu na?”
And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother and my brothers?
34 Wasekhangela labo ababehlezi laye bemhanqile wathi, “Nampa abangumama labangabafowethu!
And having looked around at those who sat about him, he says, Behold, my mother and my brothers.
35 Loba ngubani owenza intando kaNkulunkulu ungumfowethu, ungudadewethu njalo ngumama.”
For whoever may do the will of God, the same is my brother and sister and mother.
