3 “ilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala, ‘Lungiselani iNkosi indlela, yenzeleni izindledlana eziqondileyo.’”
Pali liswi lya muntu labilikishinga mu cinyika limbangeti, Bambani mukwakwa mwakupita Mwami, Lulamikani nshila njoti akapitemo.”
4 Kwasekufika uJohane Umbhaphathizi, etshumayela emangweni wasenkangala ubhaphathizo lokuphenduka ukuze kuthethelelwe izono.

5 Umango wonke waseJudiya kanye labantu bonke baseJerusalema baphuma baya kuye. Bevuma izono zabo, babhaphathizwa nguye eMfuleni uJodani.
Neco, bantu bangi bekala mu cimpansha ca Yudeya ne mu Yelusalemu balaya kuli Yohane akunyumfwa. Abo balikulyambilila bwipishi bwabo walababatisha mu mulonga wa Yolodano.
6 UJohane wayevunula izigqoko ezazenziwe ngoboya bekamela, elebhanti lesikhumba okhalweni lwakhe, esidla intethe loluju lwezinyosi zeganga.
Yohane walikufwala mwinjila wa bweya bwa ngamila, kayi ne lamba wa cipaya mubukome. Byakulya byakendi byalikuba bikobo ne bwiki bwamucisuwa.
7 Intshumayelo yakhe yayisithi: “Ngemva kwami kuzafika omunye ozaba lamandla kulami, imichilo yamanyathela akhe akungilingananga ukuthi ngikhothame ngiyithukulule.
Walikukambauketi, “Panyuma pakame, palesanga ukute ngofu kupita shakame. Ame nkandelela kukotameti nsungulule ntambo sha nkwabilo shakendi.
8 Mina ngilibhaphathiza ngamanzi, kodwa yena uzalibhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.”
Ame ndamubatishanga ne menshi, nsombi nendi nakamubatishenga ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
9 Ngalesosikhathi uJesu weza evela eNazaretha eseGalile wabhaphathizwa nguJohane kuJodani.
Paliya kupita masuba angi, Yesu walafuma ku Nasaleti mucimpansha ca Galileya. Walabatishiwa ne Yohane mu mulonga wa Yolodano.
10 UJesu ephuma emanzini wabona izulu livuleka uMoya usehlela phezu kwakhe unjengejuba.
Mpwalikufuma mu menshi, walabona kwilu kwalacaluka, kayi Mushimu Uswepa waleseti nkulimba nekwikala palyendiye.
11 Kwafika ilizwi livela ezulwini lathi: “Wena uyiNdodana yami engiyithandayo; ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngawe.”
Popelapo palanyumfwika liswi kwilu lyakwambeti, “Obe njobe Mwaname ngondayandishisha, ndakondwa muli njobe.”
12 Masinyane uMoya wamthumela enkangala,
Popelapo Mushimu Uswepa walapesheti enga mucinyika.
13 wahlala khona enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane. Wayehlala lezinyamazana zeganga, izingilosi zazomnakekela.
Walekalako masuba makumi ana, kasunkwa ne Satana. Walikuba pakati pa banyama, nsombi bangelo balikumunyamfwilisha.
14 UJohane esevalelwe entolongweni, uJesu waya eGalile ememezela izindaba ezinhle zikaNkulunkulu.
Pacindi Yohane mpwalabikwa mujele, panyuma pakendi Yesu walaya ku Galileya kuya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa Lesa.
15 Wathi, “Isikhathi sesifikile. Umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususeduze. Phendukani likholwe izindaba ezinhle!”
Walikwambeti, “Cindi cilashiki, Bwami bwa Lesa bulaseng'ene pepi! Kamulapani, kayi kamushomani Mulumbe Waina.”
16 Kwathi uJesu ehambahamba okhunjini loLwandle lwaseGalile wabona uSimoni lomfowabo u-Andreya bephosa umambule olwandle ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
Nomba pacindi ncalikwenda mu mbali mwa lwenje lwa Galileya, walabona Shimoni ne Ndileya pabukwabo, kabawala tombe mulwenje, pakwinga balikuba basulishi banswi.
17 Wathi kubo, “Wozani lingilandele, ngizalenza abagoli babantu.”
Neco Yesu walabambileti, “Kamunkonkani, ninkamwiyishe kuba basulishi ba bantu.”
18 Bahle batshiya omambule babo bamlandela.
Popelapo balashiya tombe twabo ne kumukonkela.
19 Wathi esehambile elinye ibanga wabona uJakhobe indodana kaZebhediya elomfowabo uJohane besesikepeni, belungisa omambule babo.
Kayi mpwalendako pang'ana, walabona Jemusi ne Yohane banabendi Sebedayo, mu bwato kababamba tombe twabo.
20 Wahle wababiza, batshiya uyise uZebhediya esikepeni kanye lezisebenzi bamlandela.
Naboyo pacindi copeleco Yesu walabakuwa. Balashiya mushali wabo Sebedayo mubwato pamo ne basebenshi, balo balaya pamo ne Yesu.
21 Baya eKhaphenawume, kwathi iSabatha selifikile, uJesu waya esinagogeni waqalisa ukufundisa.
Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi balaya ku Kapelenao, mpobwalashika busuba bwa Sabata bwakupumwina, Yesu walengila mung'anda yakupaililamo ne kutatika kwiyisha.
22 Abantu bamangaliswa yikufundisa kwakhe ngoba wayefundisa njengomuntu olamandla, hatshi njengabafundisi bomthetho.
Nomba bantu balamunyumfwa ncalikwiyisha balakankamana, pakwinga nkalikwiyisheti beshikwiyisha ba milawo ya Mose, nsombi nendi walikwiyisha ne ngofu sha bwendeleshi.
23 Khonokho nje indoda eyayisesinagogeni labo eyayiphethwe ngumoya omubi yamemeza yathi,
Pacindi copeleco muntu wekatwa ne mushimu waipa, neye walesa mu ng'anda yakupaililamo, muntuyo walabilikisheti,
24 “Ufunani kithi, Jesu waseNazaretha? Ulande ukuza sibhubhisa na? Ngiyakwazi ukuthi ungubani, ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu!”
“Tukute mulandu cini kuli njamwe Yesu wa ku Nasaleti? Sena waleshila kutushina? Ame ndimwinshi, njamwe Waswepa wa Lesa.”
25 UJesu wakhwaza wathi kuye “Thula! Phuma kuye!”
Nomba Yesu walaucancilila mushimu waipa ne kuwambileti “Komwena, pula mu muntuyu.”
26 Umoya omubi wayidlukuza ngamandla indoda waphuma kuyo uklabalala.
Panyuma pa kumuwishila panshi kanyukuma, mushimu waipa walabilikisha cangofu, ne kufumamo popelapo.
27 Abantu bamangala baze babuzana bathi, “Kuyini lokhu? Yikufundisa okutsha njalo okulamandla! Ngoba ulaya imimoya emibi imlalele.”
Bantu bonse balakankamana ne kutatika kwipushana pa lwabo bene, “Inga ici nicani? Cakubinga ni ciyisho censu cangofu! Ha, lacancililinga ne mishimu yaipa yonse mwangofu, nayo ilamunyumfwilinga!”
28 Izindaba ngaye zamemetheka ngokuphangisa kuwo wonke umango waseGalile.
Neco, impuwo yakendi lwalamwaikila bwangu mu misena yonse ya mu cimpansha ca Galileya.
29 Bonela ukusuka esinagogeni bahamba loJakhobe loJohane baya emzini kaSimoni lo-Andreya.
Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bakendi pamo ne Jemusi ne Yohane, mpobalapula mung'anda yakupaililamo, balaya kung'anda ya Shimoni ne Ndileya.
30 Uninazala kaSimoni wayelele phansi ephethwe ngumkhuhlane, basebetshela uJesu ngaye.
Kumakwendi Shimoni batukashi balikuba bona kabanyumfwa mubili kulungula, Yesu mpwalashika mwakufwambana balamwinshibisha.
31 Ngakho wasesiya kuye, wambamba isandla wasemvusa. Umkhuhlane waphuma kuye, wahle waqalisa ukubaphakela.
Yesu walaya mpobalikuba bona walabekata kucikasa ne kubapundusha. Popelapo bulwashi bwalapwa, balatatika kubabambila cakulya.
32 Ngaleyontambama ilanga selitshonile abantu baletha kuJesu bonke abagulayo labaphethwe ngamadimoni.
Mansailo, lisuba mpolyalebila, bantu balatatika kumuletela Yesu balwashi bonse, ne abo bekatwa ne mishimu yaipa.
33 Idolobho lonke lagcwala emnyango,
Bantu bonse bamu munshi balabungana pa lubansa.
34 uJesu wasilisa abanengi ababelezifo ezehlukeneyo. Njalo wakhupha amadimoni amanengi, kodwa kaze awavumela amadimoni ukuthi akhulume ngoba ayemazi ukuthi ungubani.
Yesu walabasengula balikukolwa malwashi apusana pusana, walapulisha mishimu yaipa, kayi nkali kwisuminisha kwambapo, pakwinga yaliku mwinshiba.
35 Ekuseni kakhulu, kusesempondozankomo, uJesu wavuka, waphuma endlini waya endaweni esekusithekeni, lapho akhuleka khona.
Kumaca kapacili pashipuluka, Yesu walapunduka mung'anda ne kuya kumusena kwabula bantu nkwalaya kupaila.
36 USimoni labakhula bakhe bahamba ukuyamdinga,
Nomba Shimoni ne banendi balatatika kumulangaula.
37 sebembonile, bathi, “Abantu bonke bayakudinga!”
Mpobalamucana balambeti “Bantu bonse balamulangaulunga.”
38 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kasiyeni kwenye indawo, emizini eseduze ukuze ngiyetshumayela lakhona. Yikho engakulandayo.”
Nomba Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Katuyani kumbi ku minshi ili pepi, kwambeti enkambaukeko, pakwinga encondaleshila.”
39 Kanjalo walibhoda lonke elaseGalile etshumayela emasinagogweni abo njalo ekhupha amadimoni.
Kayi walaya mu manda abo akupaililamo mu Galileya monse, kaya kukambauka ne kupulisha mishimu yaipa.
40 Kweza kuye indoda eyayilobulephero yamncenga iguqe phansi ngamadolo yathi, “Nxa uthanda ungangihlambulula.”
Shimankuntu walesa kuli Yesu ne kumusuntamina ne kumusengeti, “Nakamuyanda, inga munswepesha.”
41 UJesu eyizwela isihawu welula isandla sakhe wayibamba indoda. Wathi, “Ngiyathanda. Hlanzeka!”
Yesu walepilwa moyo neco, walatandabula cikasa cakendi ne kumwikata ne kumwambileti, “Ee ndayandishishinga, swepesha.”
42 Masinyane ubulephero baphela, wahlambuluka.
Pacindi copeleco, mankuntu alashimangana, walaswepa.
43 UJesu wahle wathi kahambe, wamqonqosela wathi,
Nomba Yesu walamwambileti enga kwabo, ne kumucenjesheti,
44 “Zwana, ungatsheli muntu ngalokhu. Kodwa hamba uyeziveza kumphristi ubusunikela umhlatshelo wokuhlanjululwa kwakho owamiswa nguMosi ukuze kube yibufakazi kubo.”
“Konyumfwa, kotaya wambile muntu naba umo sobwe, nsombi uye uliboneshe kuli Shimilumbo, ne kubenga milumbo ilayandikinga mu milawo ya Mose pacebo ca kuswepeshewa kwakobe kwambeti kube bukamboni kubantu.”
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.
Nomba mpwalafumapo, nendi walatatika kwambila uliyense ne kumwaya makani mumisena ingi, neco Yesu calamwalila kwingila mu minshi mwakubonekela. Nsombi walapitilisha kwikala enka ku musena kwabula bantu. Nikukabeco bantu balikabesa nkwalikuba kufuma mu mbasu shapusana pusana.
