UMakho 10
1 Wasesukuma lapho weza emingceleni yeJudiya edabula ngaphetsheya kweJordani; amaxuku asebuya abuthana kuye; wasephinda ukubafundisa, njengokwejwayela kwakhe.
And departing thence, he cometh into the borders of Judaea, and to the other side of the Jordan; and multitudes again come together to him; and, as he was wont, he again taught them.
2 Kwasekusiza kuye abaFarisi bambuza ukuthi: Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthi indoda yale umkayo? bemlinga.
And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife, trying him.
3 Wasephendula wathi kubo: UMozisi walilayani?
And he answering said to them, What did Moses command you?
4 Basebesithi: UMozisi wavuma ukubhala incwadi yesehlukaniso, lokumala.
And they said, Moses permitted to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo yenu walibhalela lumlayo;
And Jesus said to them, On account of your hardness of heart he wrote you this command.
6 kodwa kusukela ekuqaleni kokudaliweyo, uNkulunkulu wabenza owesilisa lowesifazana.
But, from the beginning of the creation, [[God]] made them male and female.
7 Ngenxa yalokhu indoda izatshiya uyise lonina, inamathele kumkayo,
“For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother;
8 njalo labo ababili bazakuba nyamanye. Ngakho kabasebabili, kodwa banyamanye.
and the two shall become one flesh.” So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Ngakho lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlanganisileyo, kakungabi lamuntu okwehlukanisayo.
What therefore God joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 Endlini abafundi bakhe basebebuya bembuza ngalokhu.
And in the house his disciples asked him again about this matter.
11 Wasesithi kubo: Loba ngubani owala umkakhe athathe omunye, uyafeba kuye;
And he saith to them, Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery against her.
12 lomfazi uba esala indoda yakhe endele kwenye, uyafeba.
And if she put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 Basebeletha abantwana abancane kuye ukuze ababambe; kodwa abafundi bakhe babakhuza ababalethayo.
And they brought children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 Kodwa uJesu ekubona wathukuthela, wathi kubo: Vumelani abantwana abancane beze kimi, lingabenqabeli. Ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanje.
But Jesus seeing it was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the children to come to me; forbid them not; for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
15 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngubani ongemukeli umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane, kasoze angene kuwo.
Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will not enter therein.
16 Njalo ebagona, ebeka izandla zakhe phezu kwabo, wababusisa.
And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.
17 Esephumele endleleni, omunye wamgijimela, eguqa phambi kwakhe wambuza wathi: Mfundisi olungileyo, ngingenzani ukuze ngidle ilifa lempilo elaphakade? (aiōnios g166)
And as he was going out into the way, a certain one running up and kneeling to him, asked him, Good teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
18 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Ungibizelani ngokuthi olungileyo? Kakho olungileyo, ngaphandle koyedwa, uNkulunkulu.
And Jesus said to him, Why dost thou call me good? None is good but one, that is, God.
19 Uyayazi imilayo ethi: Ungafebi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, ungadlelezeli, hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.
Thou knowest the commandments, “Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and thy mother.”
20 Wasephendula wathi kuye: Mfundisi, lezizinto zonke ngizigcinile kusukela ebutsheni bami.
And he said to him, Teacher, all these have I kept 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.
And Jesus looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest; go, sell whatever 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.
But his countenance fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 UJesu wasethalaza wathi kubafundi bakhe: Kuzakuba lukhuni kangakanani kwabalenotho ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
And Jesus, looking round, saith to his disciples, How hardly shall they who have riches enter the kingdom t 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. But Jesus answering again saith to them, Children, how hard it is to enter 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 enter the kingdom of God.
26 Basebemangala kakhulukazi, bekhulumisana bathi: Pho kungasindiswa bani?
And they were beyond measure astonished, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27 UJesu wasebakhangela wathi: Kubantu kakulakwenzeka, kodwa kakunjalo kuNkulunkulu; ngoba zonke izinto ziyenzeka kuNkulunkulu.
Jesus looking upon them saith, 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, Lo! we left all, and have 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 do I say to you, There is no one who hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me and of the glad tidings,
31 Kodwa abanengi abokuqala bazakuba ngabokucina, labokucina ngabokuqala.
But many who are first will 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 on the road, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was leading the way; and they were amazed, and they that followed were afraid. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what things were about to befall him:
33 ukuthi: Khangelani, senyukela eJerusalema, futhi iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa kubapristi abakhulu lakubabhali, njalo bazayigwebela ukufa, bayinikele kwabezizwe,
Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up to the gentiles;
34 bazayiyangisa, bayitshaye ngesiswepu, bayikhafulele amathe, bayibulale; njalo ngosuku lwesithathu izabuya ivuke ekufeni.
and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again.
35 Kwasekusiza kuye uJakobe loJohane, amadodana kaZebediya, besithi: Mfundisi, sithanda ukuthi usenzele loba yini esizayicela.
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying to him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldst do for us whatever we shall ask thee.
36 Wasesithi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilenzeleni?
And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37 Basebesithi kuye: Siphe ukuthi sihlale omunye ngakwesokunene sakho lomunye ngakwesokhohlo sakho ebukhosini bakho.
And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand 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?
But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 Basebesithi kuye: Singakwenza. Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Isibili inkezo engiyinathayo mina lizayinatha; lizabhabhathizwa ngobhabhathizo engibhabhathizwa ngalo mina;
And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye will drink the cup that I drink, and ye will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
40 kodwa ukuhlala ngakwesokunene sami langakwesokhohlo sami kayisikho okwami ukukupha, kodwa kungokwalabo abakulungiselweyo.
but to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give, but it will be given to those for whom it hath been prepared.
41 Kwathi sebezwile abalitshumi baqala ukuthukuthela ngoJakobe loJohane.
And the ten hearing it began to be much displeased with 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, saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the nations lord it over them, and their great men exercise a strict 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 whoever desireth to become great among you, will be your minister;
44 njalo loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu, kabe yisisebenzi sabo bonke.
and whoever of you desireth to become first, will be servant of all;
45 Ngoba leNdodana yomuntu kayizanga ukukhonzwa, kodwa ukukhonza, lokunika impilo yayo ibe lihlawulo labanengi.
for even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 Basebefika eJeriko; kwathi esephuma eJeriko, labafundi bakhe, lexuku elikhulu, indodana kaTimewu, uBartimewu oyisiphofu wayehlezi endleleni ephanza.
And they come to Jericho; and as he was going out of Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the wayside.
47 Kwathi esezwile ukuthi nguJesu weNazaretha, waqala ukumemeza lokuthi: Jesu Ndodana kaDavida, akungihawukele!
And hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me!
48 Abanengi basebemkhuza ukuthi athule; kodwa wamemeza kakhulukazi, esithi: Ndodana kaDavida, akungihawukele!
And many sharply bade him be silent; but he cried out the more, Son of David, have pity on me!
49 UJesu esima wasesithi kabizwe; basebesibiza isiphofu, besithi kuso: Mana isibindi; sukuma, uyakubiza.
And Jesus stopped, and said, Call him. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good courage, rise, he calleth thee.
50 Sasesilahla isembatho saso sasukuma seza kuJesu.
And throwing off his garment, he leaped up, and came to Jesus.
51 UJesu wasephendula wathi kuso: Ufuna ukuthi ngikwenzeleni? Isiphofu sasesisithi kuye: Raboni, ukuthi ngibuye ngibone.
And Jesus answering said to him, What dost thou wish me to do for thee? The blind man said to him, My master, to restore my sight.
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 he immediately received his sight, and followed him on the road.
