UMakho 10
1 Wasesukuma lapho weza emingceleni yeJudiya edabula ngaphetsheya kweJordani; amaxuku asebuya abuthana kuye; wasephinda ukubafundisa, njengokwejwayela kwakhe.
Rising up thence He comes into the coasts of Judea, through the region beyond the Jordan; and the multitudes again come to Him, and, as was His custom, He again taught them.
2 Kwasekusiza kuye abaFarisi bambuza ukuthi: Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthi indoda yale umkayo? bemlinga.
And the Pharisees having come forward asked Him, If it is lawful for a man to send away his wife? tempting Him.
3 Wasephendula wathi kubo: UMozisi walilayani?
And He responding said to them, What did Moses command you?
4 Basebesithi: UMozisi wavuma ukubhala incwadi yesehlukaniso, lokumala.
And they said, Moses permitted to write a book of divorcement, and to send her away.
5 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo yenu walibhalela lumlayo;
Jesus said to them, On account of the hardness of your heart he wrote this commandment to you.
6 kodwa kusukela ekuqaleni kokudaliweyo, uNkulunkulu wabenza owesilisa lowesifazana.
But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.
7 Ngenxa yalokhu indoda izatshiya uyise lonina, inamathele kumkayo,
On this account a man shall leave his father and his mother,
8 njalo labo ababili bazakuba nyamanye. Ngakho kabasebabili, kodwa banyamanye.
and they two shall be one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Ngakho lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlanganisileyo, kakungabi lamuntu okwehlukanisayo.
And what God joined together, let no man separate.
10 Endlini abafundi bakhe basebebuya bembuza ngalokhu.
And His disciples again around Him in the house asked Him. And He says to them,
11 Wasesithi kubo: Loba ngubani owala umkakhe athathe omunye, uyafeba kuye;
Whosoever may send away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery unto her.
12 lomfazi uba esala indoda yakhe endele kwenye, uyafeba.
And if she having sent away her husband, may marry another, she commits adultery.
13 Basebeletha abantwana abancane kuye ukuze ababambe; kodwa abafundi bakhe babakhuza ababalethayo.
And they continued to bring little children to Him, that He should touch them: but the disciples rebuked those bringing them.
14 Kodwa uJesu ekubona wathukuthela, wathi kubo: Vumelani abantwana abancane beze kimi, lingabenqabeli. Ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanje.
But Jesus seeing was displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngubani ongemukeli umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane, kasoze angene kuwo.
Truly, I say unto you, Whosoever may not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, can not enter into it.
16 Njalo ebagona, ebeka izandla zakhe phezu kwabo, wababusisa.
And taking them up in His arms, putting His hands on them, He continued to bless them copiously.
17 Esephumele endleleni, omunye wamgijimela, eguqa phambi kwakhe wambuza wathi: Mfundisi olungileyo, ngingenzani ukuze ngidle ilifa lempilo elaphakade? (aiōnios g166)
And He traveling along the road, one having run to Him and worshiping Him, asked Him, Good Teacher, what shall I do in order that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Ungibizelani ngokuthi olungileyo? Kakho olungileyo, ngaphandle koyedwa, uNkulunkulu.
And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good but One, God.
19 Uyayazi imilayo ethi: Ungafebi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, ungadlelezeli, hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.
You know the commandments, thou must not commit adultery, thou must not murder, thou must not steal, thou must not bear false witness, thou must not defraud, honor thy father and mother.
20 Wasephendula wathi kuye: Mfundisi, lezizinto zonke ngizigcinile kusukela ebutsheni bami.
And he said to Him, Teacher, I have kept all these from my youth.
21 Njalo uJesu emkhangela wamthanda, wathi kuye: Kunye okusweleyo; hamba, uthengise konke olakho, uphe abayanga, njalo uzakuba lokuligugu ezulwini; njalo uze, uthathe isiphambano, ungilandele.
Jesus looking on him loved him, and said to him, One thing is wanting to thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22 Kodwa edanile ngalelilizwi wasuka wahamba edabukile; ngoba wayelempahla ezinengi.
And he being grieved at the word, went away sorrowing: for he had great possessions.
23 UJesu wasethalaza wathi kubafundi bakhe: Kuzakuba lukhuni kangakanani kwabalenotho ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
And Jesus looking around, says to His disciples; How hardly shall those having riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 Abafundi basebemangala ngamazwi akhe. Kodwa uJesu ephendula futhi wathi kubo: Bantwana, kulukhuni kangakanani kwabathembela enothweni ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu;
And the disciples were astonished at His words, and Jesus again responding, says to them, Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 kulula ukuthi ikamela lithutshe entunjeni yenalithi, kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of God.
26 Basebemangala kakhulukazi, bekhulumisana bathi: Pho kungasindiswa bani?
And they were astonished exceedingly, saying to one another, And who is able to be saved?
27 UJesu wasebakhangela wathi: Kubantu kakulakwenzeka, kodwa kakunjalo kuNkulunkulu; ngoba zonke izinto ziyenzeka kuNkulunkulu.
And Jesus looking upon them says, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
28 UPetro waseqala ukuthi kuye: Khangela, thina sitshiye konke, sakulandela.
Peter began to say to Him, Behold, we have left all things, and followed thee.
29 UJesu wasephendula wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kakukho muntu otshiye indlu, kumbe abafowabo, kumbe odadewabo, kumbe uyise, kumbe unina, kumbe umkakhe, kumbe abantwana, kumbe amasimu, ngenxa yami levangeli,
Jesus said, Truly I say unto you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, on account of me and the gospel,
31 Kodwa abanengi abokuqala bazakuba ngabokucina, labokucina ngabokuqala.
But many who are first shall be last; and the last first.
32 Njalo babesendleleni besenyukela eJerusalema; uJesu wayesehamba phambi kwabo, njalo babemangele, belandela babesesaba. Wasethatha futhi abalitshumi lambili, waqala ukubatshela izinto ezazizakwenzakala kuye
And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and following they were afraid. And taking the twelve to Himself, again He began to tell them the things which were about to happen to Him;
33 ukuthi: Khangelani, senyukela eJerusalema, futhi iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa kubapristi abakhulu lakubabhali, njalo bazayigwebela ukufa, bayinikele kwabezizwe,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and they will deliver Him to the Gentiles:
34 bazayiyangisa, bayitshaye ngesiswepu, bayikhafulele amathe, bayibulale; njalo ngosuku lwesithathu izabuya ivuke ekufeni.
and they will mock Him, and will scourge Him, and will spit upon Him, and will kill Him; and He will rise the third day.
35 Kwasekusiza kuye uJakobe loJohane, amadodana kaZebediya, besithi: Mfundisi, sithanda ukuthi usenzele loba yini esizayicela.
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to Him, saying, Teacher, we wish that you may do unto us whatsoever we may ask.
36 Wasesithi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilenzeleni?
And He said to them, What do you wish for me to do for you?
37 Basebesithi kuye: Siphe ukuthi sihlale omunye ngakwesokunene sakho lomunye ngakwesokhohlo sakho ebukhosini bakho.
And they said to Him, Grant unto us, that we may sit, one on thy right, and one on thy left, in thy glory.
38 Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Kalikwazi elikucelayo. Linganatha yini inkezo engiyinathayo mina, njalo libhabhathizwe ngobhabhathizo engibhabhathizwa ngalo mina?
And Jesus said to them, You know not what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I drink? and to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?
39 Basebesithi kuye: Singakwenza. Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Isibili inkezo engiyinathayo mina lizayinatha; lizabhabhathizwa ngobhabhathizo engibhabhathizwa ngalo mina;
And they said to Him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink the cup which I drink, and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized:
40 kodwa ukuhlala ngakwesokunene sami langakwesokhohlo sami kayisikho okwami ukukupha, kodwa kungokwalabo abakulungiselweyo.
but to sit on my right, and on my left, is not mine to give, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.
41 Kwathi sebezwile abalitshumi baqala ukuthukuthela ngoJakobe loJohane.
And the ten hearing, began to be indignant concerning James and John.
42 Kodwa uJesu wababizela kuye wathi kubo: Liyazi ukuthi labo okuthiwa babusa izizwe bazibusa ngobulukhuni; lezikhulu zazo zisebenzisa amandla phezu kwazo.
And Jesus calling them to Him, says to them: You know that those seeming competent to rule the Gentiles domineer over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43 Kodwa akuyikuba njalo phakathi kwenu; kodwa loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngomkhulu phakathi kwenu, kabe yisisebenzi senu;
But it is not so among you: but whosoever may wish to be great among you, shall be your servant:
44 njalo loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu, kabe yisisebenzi sabo bonke.
and whosoever of you may wish to be first, shall be the slave of all:
45 Ngoba leNdodana yomuntu kayizanga ukukhonzwa, kodwa ukukhonza, lokunika impilo yayo ibe lihlawulo labanengi.
for the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His soul a ransom for many.
46 Basebefika eJeriko; kwathi esephuma eJeriko, labafundi bakhe, lexuku elikhulu, indodana kaTimewu, uBartimewu oyisiphofu wayehlezi endleleni ephanza.
And they come into Jericho: and He and His disciples and a great multitude going out from Jericho, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, was sitting by the wayside, begging.
47 Kwathi esezwile ukuthi nguJesu weNazaretha, waqala ukumemeza lokuthi: Jesu Ndodana kaDavida, akungihawukele!
And hearing that it is Jesus the Nazarene, began to cry out, and say, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
48 Abanengi basebemkhuza ukuthi athule; kodwa wamemeza kakhulukazi, esithi: Ndodana kaDavida, akungihawukele!
And many continued to rebuke him that he should keep silent: but he continued to cry out much more, O son of David, have mercy on me.
49 UJesu esima wasesithi kabizwe; basebesibiza isiphofu, besithi kuso: Mana isibindi; sukuma, uyakubiza.
And Jesus standing, said, that he should be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Take courage: rise up, He calls you.
50 Sasesilahla isembatho saso sasukuma seza kuJesu.
And he, casting away his cloak, rising, came to Jesus.
51 UJesu wasephendula wathi kuso: Ufuna ukuthi ngikwenzeleni? Isiphofu sasesisithi kuye: Raboni, ukuthi ngibuye ngibone.
And Jesus responding said to him, What do you wish that I shall do to you? And the blind man said to Him, Great Master, that I may look up.
52 UJesu wasesithi kuso: Hamba; ukholo lwakho lukusindisile. Njalo sahle sabuye sabona, salandela uJesu endleleni.
And Jesus said to him, Go; thy faith hath saved thee: and immediately he looked up, and followed Jesus in the way.
