UMakho 16
1 Isabatha selidlulile, uMariya Magadalena loMariya unina kaJakobe loSalome bathenga amakha, ukuze bahambe bayemgcoba.
And the sabbath being [now] past, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, bought aromatic spices that they might come and embalm him.
2 Kwathi ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku lokuqala lweviki beza engcwabeni, ekuphumeni kwelanga.
And very early on the first [day] of the week they come to the sepulchre, the sun having risen.
3 Basebekhulumisana besithi: Ngubani ozasigiqela ilitshe lisuke emnyango wengcwaba?
And they said to one another, Who shall roll us away the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?
4 Futhi bathi ukukhangela babona ilitshe seligiqwe lasuswa; ngoba lalilikhulu kakhulu.
And when they looked, they see that the stone has been rolled [away], for it was very great.
5 Kuthe bengena engcwabeni, babona ijaha lihlezi ngakwesokunene, lembethe isembatho eside esimhlophe; besaba.
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed and alarmed;
6 Kodwa lathi kubo: Lingesabi; lidinga uJesu umNazaretha obebethelwe; uvukile, kakho lapha; khangelani, indawo lapho abebembeke khona.
but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him.
7 Kodwa hambani, litshele abafundi bakhe loPetro ukuthi uzalandulela ukuya eGalili; lizambona khona, njengalokho ayekutshilo kini.
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said to you.
8 Basebephuma ngokuphangisa babaleka engcwabeni; futhi ukuqhuqha lokwethuka kwababamba; futhi kabakhulumanga lutho emuntwini, ngoba babesesaba.
And they went out, and fled from the sepulchre. And trembling and excessive amazement possessed them, and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Kwathi uJesu esevukile ekuseni kakhulu ngolokuqala lweviki, wabonakala kuqala kuMariya Magadalena, ayekhuphe kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Now when he had risen very early, the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons.
10 Yena wasuka wababikela labo ababelaye, belila bekhala.
She went and brought word to those that had been with him, [who were] grieving and weeping.
11 Labo sebezwile ukuthi uyaphila lokuthi ubonwe nguye, kabakholwanga.
And when these heard that he was alive and had been seen of her, they disbelieved [it].
12 Njalo emva kwalezizinto wabonakala ngesinye isimo kwababili babo behamba, besiya emaphandleni.
And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country;
13 Labo bahamba babikela abanye; lalabo kababakholwanga.
and they went and brought word to the rest; neither did they believe them.
14 Emva kwalokhu wabonakala kwabalitshumi lanye behlezi ekudleni, wasola ukungakholwa kwabo lobulukhuni benhliziyo, ngoba bengakholwanga labo abambonayo esevukile.
Afterwards as they lay at table he was manifested to the eleven, and reproached [them with] their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him risen.
15 Wasesithi kubo: Hambani liye emhlabeni wonke, litshumayele ivangeli kuso sonke isidalwa.
And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all the creation.
16 Lowo okholwayo abhabhathizwe uzasindiswa; kodwa ongakholwayo uzalahlwa.
He that believes and is baptised shall be saved, and he that disbelieves shall be condemned.
17 Lalezizibonakaliso zizabalandela abakholwayo: Ebizweni lami bazakhupha amadimoni; bakhulume ngendimi ezintsha;
And these signs shall follow those that have believed: in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 bazadobha izinyoka; uba benatha loba yikuphi okubulalayo, kakusoze kubalimaze; bazabeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo, futhi bazaphila.
they shall take up serpents; and if they should drink any deadly thing it shall not injure them; they shall lay hands upon the infirm, and they shall be well.
19 Ngakho iNkosi, emva kokuthi isikhulumile labo, yakhutshulelwa ezulwini, yahlala ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.
The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.
20 Bona basebephuma batshumayela endaweni zonke, iNkosi isebenza labo, iqinisa ilizwi ngezibonakaliso ezazilandela. Ameni.
And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word by the signs following upon [it].
