UMakho 1
1 Ukuqala kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu;
Beginning of the glad tidings of Jesus Christ, Son of God;
2 njengokulotshiweyo kubaprofethiukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
as it is written in [Isaiah] the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.
3 Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani izindledlana zayo.
Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of [the] Lord, make his paths straight.
4 Kweza uJohane ebhabhathiza enkangala, etshumayela ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono,
There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching [the] baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
5 njalo kwaphumela kuye ilizwe lonke leJudiya, labo abeJerusalema, basebebhabhathizwa bonke nguye emfuleni iJordani, bevuma izono zabo.
And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Futhi uJohane wayembethe uboya bekamela, elozwezwe lwesikhumba ekhalweni lwakhe, wayesidla intethe loluju lweganga.
And John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.
7 Watshumayela, esithi: Olamandla kulami uyeza emva kwami, engingafanele ukukhothama ngithukulule umchilo wamanyathela akhe.
And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.
8 Mina isibili ngilibhabhathize ngamanzi; kodwa yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
I indeed have baptised you with water, but he shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit.
9 Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku kwafika uJesu evela eNazaretha yeGalili, wabhabhathizwa nguJohane eJordani.
And it came to pass in those days [that] Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.
10 Wenela ukukhuphuka emanzini, wabona amazulu eqhekezeka, loMoya kungathi lijuba esehlela phezu kwakhe;
And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.
11 kwasekusiza ilizwi livela emazulwini, lathi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo.
And there came a voice out of the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.
12 Njalo uMoya wahle wamqhubela enkangala.
And immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness.
13 Wayekhona-ke lapho enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane, wayelezilo, ingilosi zasezimnceda.
And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
14 Kwathi emva kokunikelwa kukaJohane, uJesu wafika eGalili, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu,
But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God,
15 njalo esithi: Isikhathi sigcwalisekile, njalo umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele; phendukani, likholwe ivangeli.
and saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn nigh; repent and believe in the glad tidings.
16 Kwathi ehambahamba elwandle lweGalili wabona uSimoni loAndreya umfowabo, bephosela imbule olwandle; ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, [Simon's] brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.
17 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngilandelani, ngizalenza libe ngabagoli babantu.
And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;
18 Njalo bahle batshiya amambule abo, bamlandela.
and straightway leaving their trawl-nets they followed him.
19 Eseqhubeke ibangana esuka lapho, wabona uJakobe okaZebediya, loJohane umfowabo, labo babesemkhunjini belungisa amambule abo.
And going on thence a little, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these [were] in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;
20 Njalo wahle wababiza; basebetshiya uyise uZebediya emkhunjini leziqhatshwa, basuka bamlandela.
and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him.
21 Basebengena eKapenawume; kwathi ngesabatha wahle wangena esinagogeni, wafundisa.
And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 Basebebabaza ngemfundiso yakhe; ngoba wabafundisa njengolamandla, njalo kungenjengababhali.
And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Futhi kwakukhona esinagogeni labo umuntu owayelomoya ongcolileyo, wasememeza,
And there was in their synagogue a man [possessed] by an unclean spirit, and he cried out
24 wathi: Yekela, silani lawe, Jesu weNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa yini? Ngiyakwazi wena ukuthi ungubani: ONgcwele kaNkulunkulu.
saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.
25 UJesu wasemkhuza, wathi: Thula, uphume kuye.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace and come out of him.
26 Futhi umoya ongcolileyo emhlukuluza ekhala ngelizwi elikhulu, waphuma kuye.
And the unclean spirit, having torn him, and uttered a cry with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Basebemangala bonke, baze babuzana, bathi: Kuyini lokhu? Yimfundiso bani entsha le, ukuthi ngamandla uyalaya labomoya abangcolileyo, futhi bamlalele.
And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 Njalo yahle yaphuma indumela yakhe esigabeni sonke seGalili esizingelezeleyo.
And his fame went out straightway into the whole region of Galilee around.
29 Njalo bahle baphuma esinagogeni, bangena endlini kaSimoni loAndreya, kanye loJakobe loJohane.
And straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew.
30 Futhi uninazala kaSimoni wayelele eloqhuqho, njalo bahle bamtshela ngaye;
And the mother-in-law of Simon lay in a fever. And straightway they speak to him about her.
31 wasesondela, wabamba isandla sakhe wamvusa; futhi uqhuqho lwahle lwamyekela, wabasebenzela.
And he went up to [her] and raised her up, having taken her by the hand, and straightway the fever left her, and she served them.
32 Kwathi sekuhlwile, ilanga selitshona, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo lababengenwe ngamadimoni;
But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;
33 njalo umuzi wonke wawubuthene emnyango.
and the whole city was gathered together at the door.
34 Wasesilisa abanengi ababegula izifo ezitshiyeneyo, wakhupha amadimoni amanengi, kodwa kavumelanga amadimoni ukuthi akhulume, ngoba ayemazi.
And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him.
35 Njalo ekuseni kusesemnyama kakhulu wavuka waphuma, waya endaweni eyinkangala, wakhuleka khona.
And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 USimoni lababelaye basebemdingisisa;
And Simon and those with him went after him:
37 sebemtholile bathi kuye: Bonke bayakudinga.
and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.
38 Wasesithi kubo: Asiye emizini eseduze, ukuze ngitshumayele lakhona; ngoba ngiphumele lokhu.
And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.
39 Wasetshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke eleGalili, ekhupha amadimoni.
And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.
40 Kwasekufika kuye umlephero, emncenga eguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, esithi kuye: Aluba uthanda, ungangihlambulula.
And there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.
41 UJesu wasesiba lesihelo, welula isandla, wamthinta, wathi kuye: Ngiyathanda, hlambuluka;
But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed.
42 esekhulumile bahle basuka ubulephero kuye, wahlanjululwa.
And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 Wasemlayisisa, wahle wamyekela wahamba,
And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away,
44 esithi kuye: Khangela ungatsheli muntu ulutho; kodwa hamba, uziveze kumpristi, unikele ngokuhlanjululwa kwakho lokho uMozisi akulayayo, kube yibufakazi kubo.
and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.
45 Kodwa yena esephumile waqala ukumemezela kakhulu walwandisa udaba, kwaze kwathi wayengaselakho ukungena emzini obala, kodwa wayengaphandle ezindaweni ezizinkangala; beza kuye bevela enhlangothini zonke.
But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim [it] much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.
