UMakho 1
1 Ukuqala kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu;
The beginning of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST the Son of GOD.
2 njengokulotshiweyo kubaprofethiukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
As it is written in the prophets, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"
3 Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani izindledlana zayo.
and again, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:" accordingly John came baptizing in the wilderness,
4 Kweza uJohane ebhabhathiza enkangala, etshumayela ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono,
and preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
5 njalo kwaphumela kuye ilizwe lonke leJudiya, labo abeJerusalema, basebebhabhathizwa bonke nguye emfuleni iJordani, bevuma izono zabo.
and all the country of Judea, and those of Jerusalem, went out to him, and were all baptized 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 with camels hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and he lived upon locusts and wild honey: and he preached,
7 Watshumayela, esithi: Olamandla kulami uyeza emva kwami, engingafanele ukukhothama ngithukulule umchilo wamanyathela akhe.
saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop and unloose.
8 Mina isibili ngilibhabhathize ngamanzi; kodwa yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
I indeed have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the holy Spirit.
9 Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku kwafika uJesu evela eNazaretha yeGalili, wabhabhathizwa nguJohane eJordani.
And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan:
10 Wenela ukukhuphuka emanzini, wabona amazulu eqhekezeka, loMoya kungathi lijuba esehlela phezu kwakhe;
and as soon as He came up from the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.
11 kwasekusiza ilizwi livela emazulwini, lathi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo.
And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Njalo uMoya wahle wamqhubela enkangala.
And immediately the Spirit taketh Him out into the wilderness:
13 Wayekhona-ke lapho enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane, wayelezilo, ingilosi zasezimnceda.
and He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts: and angels ministred unto Him.
14 Kwathi emva kokunikelwa kukaJohane, uJesu wafika eGalili, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu,
Now after John was cast into prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel 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 is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Kwathi ehambahamba elwandle lweGalili wabona uSimoni loAndreya umfowabo, bephosela imbule olwandle; ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
And as He was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea,
17 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngilandelani, ngizalenza libe ngabagoli babantu.
(for they were fishermen, ) and Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men:
18 Njalo bahle batshiya amambule abo, bamlandela.
and immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Eseqhubeke ibangana esuka lapho, wabona uJakobe okaZebediya, loJohane umfowabo, labo babesemkhunjini belungisa amambule abo.
And going a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship, mending their nets, and immediately called them likewise:
20 Njalo wahle wababiza; basebetshiya uyise uZebediya emkhunjini leziqhatshwa, basuka bamlandela.
and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the men he had hired, and went along with Him.
21 Basebengena eKapenawume; kwathi ngesabatha wahle wangena esinagogeni, wafundisa.
And they went into Capernaum: and going directly into the synagogue on the sabbath, He taught the people: and they were astonished at his doctrine;
22 Basebebabaza ngemfundiso yakhe; ngoba wabafundisa njengolamandla, njalo kungenjengababhali.
for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Futhi kwakukhona esinagogeni labo umuntu owayelomoya ongcolileyo, wasememeza,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an impure spirit,
24 wathi: Yekela, silani lawe, Jesu weNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa yini? Ngiyakwazi wena ukuthi ungubani: ONgcwele kaNkulunkulu.
and he cried out, saying, Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? 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, Be silent, and come out of him: and the impure spirit threw him into convulsions,
26 Futhi umoya ongcolileyo emhlukuluza ekhala ngelizwi elikhulu, waphuma kuye.
and roaring 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 they were all amazed, so that they inquired of each other, saying, What is this, what new kind of doctrine is this? for He commands with authority even the impure spirits, and they obey Him.
28 Njalo yahle yaphuma indumela yakhe esigabeni sonke seGalili esizingelezeleyo.
And straitway his fame spread into all the country round about Galilee.
29 Njalo bahle baphuma esinagogeni, bangena endlini kaSimoni loAndreya, kanye loJakobe loJohane.
And as soon as they came out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, together with James and John.
30 Futhi uninazala kaSimoni wayelele eloqhuqho, njalo bahle bamtshela ngaye;
And Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever: and they immediately told Him of her:
31 wasesondela, wabamba isandla sakhe wamvusa; futhi uqhuqho lwahle lwamyekela, wabasebenzela.
and He came to her, and taking her by the hand raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she waited upon them.
32 Kwathi sekuhlwile, ilanga selitshona, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo lababengenwe ngamadimoni;
And in the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were ill, and demoniacs:
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 that were ill of various diseases, and cast out many devils, and suffered not the devils to say that they knew Him.
35 Njalo ekuseni kusesemnyama kakhulu wavuka waphuma, waya endaweni eyinkangala, wakhuleka khona.
And in the morning, before it was light, He rose up and went out, and retired into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 USimoni lababelaye basebemdingisisa;
And Simon, and they that were with him, went in quest of Him:
37 sebemtholile bathi kuye: Bonke bayakudinga.
and when they found Him, they said to Him, all the people are seeking for thee.
38 Wasesithi kubo: Asiye emizini eseduze, ukuze ngitshumayele lakhona; ngoba ngiphumele lokhu.
And He saith unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for this was the end of my coming.
39 Wasetshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke eleGalili, ekhupha amadimoni.
And He went preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Kwasekufika kuye umlephero, emncenga eguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, esithi kuye: Aluba uthanda, ungangihlambulula.
And there came to Him a leper, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me:
41 UJesu wasesiba lesihelo, welula isandla, wamthinta, wathi kuye: Ngiyathanda, hlambuluka;
and Jesus, being moved with compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him, and saith unto Him, I will;
42 esekhulumile bahle basuka ubulephero kuye, wahlanjululwa.
be thou healed: and as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed.
43 Wasemlayisisa, wahle wamyekela wahamba,
And he gave him a strict charge, and immediately dismissed him,
44 esithi kuye: Khangela ungatsheli muntu ulutho; kodwa hamba, uziveze kumpristi, unikele ngokuhlanjululwa kwakho lokho uMozisi akulayayo, kube yibufakazi kubo.
and saith unto him, See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification what Moses has commanded, 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 when he was gone he began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the report: so that Jesus could no more go openly into the city, but kept out in country places: and they came to Him from all parts.
