UMakho 6
1 Wasesuka lapho, waya emzini wakibo; abafundi bakhe basebemlandela.
And he went out from thence; and he cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
2 Sekufike isabatha, waqala ukufundisa esinagogeni; labanengi abamuzwayo bamangala, bathi: Zivela ngaphi lezizinto kuye? Njalo yinhlakanipho bani ayinikiweyo, ukuthi lalimisebenzi yamandla enje yenziwe ngezandla zakhe?
And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and [what mean] such mighty works wrought by his hands?
3 Lo kayisuye umbazi yini, indodana kaMariya, lomfowabo kaJakobe loJose loJudasi loSimoni? Labodadewabo kabakho yini lapha kithi? Basebekhubeka ngaye.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.
4 Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Umprofethi kasweli ukudunyiswa, ngaphandle kwelizweni lakibo, lezihlotsheni zakhe lendlini yakwabo.
And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5 Futhi wayengelakho ukwenza lowodwa umsebenzi wamandla lapho, ngaphandle kokubeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo abalutshwana, wabasilisa.
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
6 Wasemangala ngokungakholwa kwabo. Wabhodabhoda imizana efundisa.
And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages teaching.
7 Wasebizela kuye abalitshumi lambili, waqala ukubathuma ngababili ngababili, wabanika amandla phezu kwabomoya abangcolileyo.
And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
8 Wabalaya ukuthi bangaphathi lutho lwendlela, ngaphandle kodondolo kuphela; lasikhwama, lasinkwa, lamali ezwezweni;
and he charged them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse;
9 kodwa bafake amanyathela; futhi bangembathi izembatho ezimbili.
but [to go] shod with sandals: and, [said he], put not on two coats.
10 Wasesithi kubo: Lapho elingena khona endlini, hlalani kiyo lize liphume khona.
And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.
11 Njalo loba ngobani abangayikulemukela, kumbe balizwe, nxa liphuma lapho, thintithani uthuli olungaphansi kwenyawo zenu kube yibufakazi kubo. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kuzakuba lula eSodoma kumbe laseGomora ngosuku lwesigwebo, kulakulowomuzi.
And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them.
12 Sebephumile batshumayela ukuthi baphenduke;
And they went out, and preached that [men] should repent.
13 bakhupha amadimoni amanengi, bagcoba abanengi abagulayo ngamagcobo babasilisa.
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
14 Inkosi uHerodi wasesizwa ngakho, ngoba ibizo lakhe laba sobala, wasesithi: UJohane owabhabhathizayo uvukile kwabafileyo, futhi kungakho lamandla esebenza kuye.
And king Herod heard [thereof]; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.
15 Abanye bathi: UnguElija; labanye bathi: Ungumprofethi, kumbe unjengomunye wabaprofethi.
But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, [It is] a prophet, [even] as one of the prophets.
16 Kodwa uHerodi esezwile wathi: Lo nguJohane, mina engamquma ikhanda; yena uvukile kwabafileyo.
But Herod, when he heard [thereof], said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.
17 Ngoba yena uHerodi wayethumele wambamba uJohane, wambopha entolongweni, ngenxa kaHerodiyasi umkaFiliphu umfowabo, ngoba wayemthethe.
For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.
18 Ngoba uJohane wayethe kuHerodi: Kawuvunyelwa ukuba lomkamfowenu.
For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
19 UHerodiyasi wasembambela inhliziyo, wafuna ukumbulala; kodwa kenelisanga;
And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;
20 ngoba uHerodi wayemesaba uJohane, esazi ukuthi uyindoda elungileyo lengcwele, wamlondoloza; lalapho emuzwa, wenza izinto ezinengi, wamuzwa ngokuthokoza.
for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous man and a holy, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.
21 Kwathi selufikile usuku oluhle, uHerodi ngelanga lakhe lokuzalwa wenzela izikhulu zakhe lenduna zenkulungwane labalisa beGalili ukudla kwantambama,
And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;
22 kwathi indodakazi kaHerodiyasi lo isingenile yagida, yamkholisa uHerodi lalabo ababehlezi ekudleni laye, inkosi yathi entombini: Cela kimi loba kuyini okuthandayo, njalo ngizakupha;
and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 wafunga kuyo esithi: Loba kuyini ongakucela kimi, ngizakunika, kuze kube yingxenye yombuso wami.
And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
24 Yasiphuma isithi kunina: Ngizacelani? Yena wasesithi: Ikhanda likaJohane uMbhabhathizi.
And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 Njalo yahle yangena enkosini ngokuphangisa, yacela, yathi: Ngifuna ukuthi unginike khathesinje emganwini ikhanda likaJohane uMbhabhathizi.
And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
26 Inkosi yasidabuka kakhulu, kodwa ngenxa yezifungo langalabo ababehlezi layo ekudleni kayithandanga ukuyilandulela.
And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her.
27 Njalo inkosi yahle yathuma ibutho yalaya ukuthi kulethwe ikhanda lakhe. Wasehamba wamquma ikhanda entolongweni,
And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 waletha ikhanda lakhe ngomganu, walinika intombi; intombi yasilinika unina.
and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29 Kwathi abafundi bakhe sebezwile beza, bathatha isidumbu sakhe, basibeka engcwabeni.
And when his disciples heard [thereof], they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Abaphostoli basebebuthana kuJesu, bambikela konke, lababekwenzile kanye lababekufundisile.
And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught.
31 Wasesithi kubo: Wozani lina lodwa endaweni eyinkangala, liphumule kancinyane. Ngoba babebanengi abafikayo labahambayo, futhi bengelathuba lokudla.
And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 Bakhuphuka ngomkhumbi baya endaweni eyinkangala bebodwa.
And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart.
33 Amaxuku asebabona besuka, labanengi bamazi, bagijimela khona kanyekanye ngenyawo bevela emizini yonke, basebebandulela, bahlangana kuye.
And [the people] saw them going, and many knew [them], and they ran there together on foot from all the cities, and outwent them.
34 Kwathi uJesu esephuma wabona ixuku elikhulu, waba lesihelo ngabo, ngoba babenjengezimvu ezingelamelusi; waseqala ukubafundisa izinto ezinengi.
And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
35 Kwathi isikhathi sesihambile, abafundi bakhe beza kuye bathi: Lindawo iyinkangala, lesikhathi sesihambile;
And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent:
36 bayekele, ukuze baye ezigabeni ezizingelezeleyo lemizaneni bazithengele izinkwa; ngoba bengelalutho abangaludla.
send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.
37 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Banikeni lina ukuthi badle. Basebesithi kuye: Sihambe yini siyethenga izinkwa ngabodenariyo abangamakhulu amabili, sibaphe badle?
But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 Wasesithi kubo: Lilezinkwa ezingaki? Hambani liyebona. Sebesazi bathi: Zinhlanu, lenhlanzi ezimbili.
And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go [and] see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 Wasebalaya ukuthi babahlalise bonke phansi ngezigaba ngezigaba etshanini obuluhlaza.
And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40 Basebehlala phansi ngamaviyo ngamaviyo, ngamakhulu langamatshumi amahlanu.
And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 Wasethatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, ekhangela phezulu ezulwini, wabonga, wazihlephula izinkwa, wazinika abafundi bakhe ukuthi bazibeke phambi kwabo; lenhlanzi ezimbili wazabela bonke.
And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
42 Basebesidla bonke, basutha.
And they did all eat, and were filled.
43 Basebedobha izitsha ezilitshumi lambili ezagcwala imvuthu ezazisele, lokuseleyo kwenhlanzi.
And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes.
44 Lalabo abadlayo izinkwa, babengaba ngamadoda azinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45 Njalo wahle wacindezela abafundi bakhe ukuthi bangene emkhunjini, njalo bamqalele ukuya ngaphetsheya eBhethisayida, yena esayekela ixuku lihamba.
And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before [him] unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away.
46 Esebavalelisile, wasuka waya entabeni ukuyakhuleka.
And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.
47 Sekuhlwile, umkhumbi wawuphakathi kolwandle, futhi yena wayeyedwa emhlabathini.
And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48 Wababona behlupheka kakhulu ekugwedleni, ngoba umoya wawuphambene labo, wasesiza kubo sokungaba yisikhathi somlindo wesine wobusuku, ehamba phezu kolwandle; wasefuna ukubadlula.
And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them:
49 Sebembonile ehamba phezu kolwandle, basebecabanga ukuthi lithonga, bakhala kakhulu;
but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out:
50 ngoba bambona bonke, bethuka. Kodwa wahle wakhuluma labo, wathi kubo: Manini isibindi; yimi, lingesabi.
for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
51 Wasesenyukela kubo emkhunjini, umoya wasuthula; basebesanganiseka kakhulu okwedlula amalawulo ngaphakathi, bamangala.
And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;
52 Ngoba babengaqedisisanga ngezinkwa; ngoba inhliziyo yabo yayilukhuni.
for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.
53 Kwathi sebechaphile bafika elizweni leGenesaretha, babophela umkhumbi ekhunjini.
And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
54 Bathi sebephumile emkhunjini, bahle bamazi,
And when they were come out of the boat, straightway [the people] knew him,
55 njalo bagijimela kuso sonke lesosigaba esizingelezeleyo, baqala ukubhoda bethwala abagulayo ngamathala bebasa lapho abebesizwa ukuthi ukhona.
and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
56 Njalo loba ngaphi angena khona emizaneni loba emizini, loba emaphandleni, babeka abagulayo emidangeni, bamncenga ukuthi bathinte umphetho wesembatho sakhe nje; njalo bonke abamthintayo basindiswa.
And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
