UMakho 5
1 Basebefika ngaphetsheya kolwandle, elizweni lamaGadarene.
And they came unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2 Esephumile emkhunjini, wahle wamhlangabeza umuntu ovela emangcwabeni elomoya ongcolileyo,
And, when he went forth out of the boat, [straightway], there met him, from amongst the tombs, a man, in an impure spirit:
3 owayehlala emangcwabeni; njalo kwakungelamuntu owayengambopha ngitsho langamaketane,
who had his dwelling among the tombs, and, not even with a chain, any longer, was anyone able to bind him, —
4 ngoba wayebotshiwe kanengi ngezibopho langamaketane, kodwa amaketane ayeqanyulwa nguye, lezibopho zaqanyuqanyulwa; njalo kwakungekho owayengamthambisa;
because of his having been, many times, with fetters and chains, bound, and the chains having been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters smashed, and no one was mighty enough to tame him;
5 langezikhathi zonke, ebusuku lemini, wayesezintabeni lemangcwabeni eklabalala ezisika ngamatshe.
and, continually, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, was he crying aloud, and cutting himself in pieces with stones.
6 Kwathi ebona uJesu ekhatshana, wagijima wamkhonza,
And, seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him;
7 wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu esithi: Ngilani lawe, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngikufungisa ngoNkulunkulu, ungangihluphi.
and, crying out with a loud voice, saith—What have in common with thee? O Jesus, Son of God Most High? I adjure thee by God, —Do not torment me!
8 Ngoba wathi kuye: Phuma emuntwini, moya ongcolileyo.
For he was saying to him—Go forth thou impure spirit, out of the man;
9 Wasembuza wathi: Ibizo lakho ungubani? Wasephendula, wathi: Ibizo lami nginguLegiyoni, ngoba sibanengi.
and he was questioning him—What is thy name? and he saith to him—Legion, is my name, because we are, many;
10 Wasemncenga kakhulu, ukuthi angabaxotsheli ngaphandle kwelizwe.
and he was beseeching him much that he would not send them forth outside the country.
11 Kwakukhona lapho ngasezintabeni umhlambi omkhulu wengulube usidla;
Now there was there, near the mountain, a large herd of swine, feeding;
12 lamadimoni wonke amncenga, athi: Sithume engulubeni, singene kuzo.
and they besought him, saying—Send us into the swine, that, into them, we may enter;
13 Njalo uJesu wahle wawavumela. Omoya abangcolileyo basebephuma bangena ezingulubeni; umhlambi wasuphaphatheka eliweni usiya olwandle; njalo zazingaba zinkulungwane ezimbili; zaminzwa olwandle.
and he suffered them. And the impure spirits, going out, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the cliff into the sea, about two thousand, and were choked in the sea.
14 Abazelusayo ingulube basebebaleka, bayabika emzini lemaphandleni. Basebephuma ukubona ukuthi kuyini okwenzakeleyo;
And, they who had been feeding them, fled, and bare tidings into the city and into the fields, —and they came to see what it was that had happened.
15 bafika kuJesu, bambona obengenwe ngamadimoni ehlezi egqokile eqondile, yena owayelelegiyoni; basebesesaba.
And they come unto Jesus, and view the demonized man, clothed and of sound mind, him who had had the legion, —and they were struck with fear.
16 Labo ababekubonile babatshela ukuthi kwenzeke njani kowayengenwe ngamadimoni, langengulube.
And the beholders narrated to them, how it happened to the demonized man, and concerning the swine.
17 Basebeqala ukumncenga ukuthi asuke elizweni lakibo.
And they began to beseech him, to depart from their bounds.
18 Wathi engena emkhunjini, owayengenwe ngamadimoni wamncenga, ukuthi abe laye.
And, as he was entering into the boat, he who had been demonized was beseeching him, that, with him, he might be.
19 Kodwa uJesu kamvumelanga, kodwa wathi kuye: Hamba uye ekhaya kwabakini, ubatshele ukuthi iNkosi ikwenzele okungakanani, ikuhawukele.
And he suffered him not, but saith unto him—Withdraw into thy house, unto thine own, and bear tidings unto them, how many things the Lord for thee hath done, and hath had mercy on thee.
20 Wasesuka ehamba waqala ukutshumayela eDikapolisi ukuthi uJesu umenzele okungakanani; basebemangala bonke.
And he departed, and began proclaiming, in the Decapolis, how many things Jesus had done for him, —and, all, were marvelling.
21 UJesu esebuye wachaphela ngaphetsheya ngomkhumbi, kwabuthana kuye ixuku elikhulu, futhi wayengaselwandle.
And, Jesus crossing over in the boat again unto the other side, there was gathered a large multitude unto him, and he was by the lake.
22 Njalo khangela, kwafika omunye wabaphathi besinagoge, uJayirosi ngebizo; embona, wawa phansi enyaweni zakhe,
And there cometh one of the synagogue-rulers, by name Jairus, and, seeing him, falleth at his feet,
23 wamncenga kakhulu, esithi: Indodakazi yami encane isiphela; ake uze ubeke izandla phezu kwayo, ukuze isindiswe, njalo izaphila.
and beseecheth him much, saying—My little daughter is at her last!—that, coming, thou wouldest lay thy hands upon her, that she may be made well, and live;
24 Wasehamba laye; ixuku elikhulu laselimlandela, lamminyezela.
and he departed with him. And there was following him a large multitude, and they were pressing upon him.
25 Njalo owesifazana othile owayelomopho wegazi okweminyaka elitshumi lambili,
And, a woman, who had had a flow of blood twelve years,
26 ehluphekile kakhulu kubelaphi abanengi, echithile konke ayelakho, engasizakalanga, kodwa kulokhu kumqinela,
and suffered much from many physicians, and spent all her means, and profited, nothing, —but had, rather, become worse,
27 esezwile ngoJesu, weza exukwini ngemuva, wathinta isembatho sakhe;
hearing the things about Jesus, came in the crowd from behind, and touched his mantle;
28 ngoba wathi: Aluba ngithinta izembatho zakhe nje, ngizasindiswa.
for she was saying—If I can touch so much as his mantle, I shall be made well;
29 Futhi wahle woma umthombo wegazi lakhe, wasesizwa emzimbeni ukuthi usilile esifweni.
and, straightway, the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she knew, in her body, that she was healed from the plague.
30 Njalo uJesu wahle wazi phakathi kwakhe ukuthi amandla aphumile kuye, watshibilika esexukwini, wathi: Ngubani othinte izembatho zami?
And, straightway, Jesus, taking note in himself of the power which, out of him, went forth, turning round in the crowd, was saying—Who hath touched my garments?
31 Abafundi bakhe basebesithi kuye: Uyabona ixuku likuminyezela, kodwa uthi: Ngubani ongithintileyo?
and his disciples were saying to him—Thou seest the crowd pressing upon thee, —and sayest thou—Who hath touched me?
32 Wasethalaza ukuthi ambone owenze lokhu.
and he was looking round to see her who, this thing had done.
33 Kodwa owesifazana esesaba ethuthumela, ekwazi okwenzekileyo kuye, weza wawa phambi kwakhe, wamtshela iqiniso lonke.
And, the woman, overcome with fear, and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 Wasesithi kuye: Ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula, siliswa esifweni sakho.
And, he, said to her—Daughter! thy faith hath made thee well; withdraw into peace, and be whole from thy plague.
35 Esakhuluma, kwafika abanye bomphathi wesinagoge, bathi: Indodakazi yakho isifile; usamkhathazelani uMfundisi?
While yet he is speaking, they come from the synagogue-ruler’s, saying—Thy daughter, is dead! Why, further, annoy the teacher?
36 Kwahle kwathi uJesu esizwa ilizwi elikhulunywayo wathi kumphathi wesinagoge: Ungesabi, kholwa kuphela.
But, Jesus, overhearing the word being spoken, saith unto the synagogue-ruler—Do not fear, only have faith!
37 Futhi kavumelanga muntu ukuthi amlandele, ngaphandle kukaPetro loJakobe loJohane umfowabo kaJakobe.
And he suffered no one to follow with him, save Peter and James and John the brother of James.
38 Wafika-ke endlini yomphathi wesinagoge, wabona isiphithiphithi, labakhalayo labalilayo kakhulu,
And they come into the house of the synagogue-ruler, and he observeth a tumult, and persons weeping and wailing greatly;
39 esengenile wathi kubo: Liphithizelelani, likhala? Umntwana kafanga, kodwa ulele.
and, entering, he saith unto them—Why are ye making a tumult, and weeping? The child, is, not dead, but, is sleeping;
40 Basebemhleka usulu. Kodwa yena, esebakhuphile bonke, wathatha uyise womntwana omncane lonina lalabo ababelaye, wangena lapho okwakulele khona umntwana omncane.
and they were deriding him. But, he, thrusting all forth, taketh with him the father of the child, and the mother, and them who were with him, —and entereth where the child was;
41 Wabamba isandla somntwana omncane, wathi kuye: "Thalitha, kumi"; okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa: Wena ntombazana encane, ngithi kuwe, vuka.
and, grasping the hand of the child, he saith unto her—Talitha, koum! which is, when translated—O damsel! to thee, I say, Arise!
42 Njalo yahle yavuka intombazana encane, yahamba, ngoba yayileminyaka elitshumi lambili; basebesanganiseka ngokusanganiseka okukhulu.
And, straightway, the damsel arose, and was walking about; for she was twelve years of age. And they were beside themselves, straightway, with a great transport;
43 Wasebalayisisa kakhulu ukuthi lokhu kungaziwa muntu; wathi kayinikwe ukudla.
and he commanded them, again and again, that, no one, should get to know this thing, —and bade that food should be given her to eat.
