UMakho 6
1 Wasesuka lapho, waya emzini wakibo; abafundi bakhe basebemlandela.
AND Jeshu went forth from thence, and came to his city; and his disciples adhered to 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 it was shabath, he began to teach in the house of the congregation: and many who heard wondered, and said, Whence to him are these? and what is this wisdom which hath been given him, that miracles such as these by his hands should be done?
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 Mariam, and the brother of Jacub, and of Josi, and of Jehuda, and of Shemun? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended with him.
4 Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Umprofethi kasweli ukudunyiswa, ngaphandle kwelizweni lakibo, lezihlotsheni zakhe lendlini yakwabo.
And Jeshu said to them, No prophet is despised, unless in his own city, and among his kinsfolk, and in his own house.
5 Futhi wayengelakho ukwenza lowodwa umsebenzi wamandla lapho, ngaphandle kokubeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo abalutshwana, wabasilisa.
And he could not do there any miracle, except that upon a few sick he laid his hands, and healed them
6 Wasemangala ngokungakholwa kwabo. Wabhodabhoda imizana efundisa.
And he wondered at the defectiveness of their faith. AND he itinerated through the villages, teaching.
7 Wasebizela kuye abalitshumi lambili, waqala ukubathuma ngababili ngababili, wabanika amandla phezu kwabomoya abangcolileyo.
And he called his twelve, and began to send them two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out.
8 Wabalaya ukuthi bangaphathi lutho lwendlela, ngaphandle kodondolo kuphela; lasikhwama, lasinkwa, lamali ezwezweni;
And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; not a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses;
9 kodwa bafake amanyathela; futhi bangembathi izembatho ezimbili.
but be shod with sandals, and not to be clothed with two tunics.
10 Wasesithi kubo: Lapho elingena khona endlini, hlalani kiyo lize liphume khona.
And he said to them, Into whatsoever house you enter, there be until you go forth from 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 every one who will not receive you, nor hear you, when you are going out from thence, beat off the dust that is beneath your feet for their testimony. And Amen I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for Sadum and for Amura in the day of the judgment, than for that city.
12 Sebephumile batshumayela ukuthi baphenduke;
And they went forth, and preached that they should repent.
13 bakhupha amadimoni amanengi, bagcoba abanengi abagulayo ngamagcobo babasilisa.
And many devils they cast out, and anointed with oil the sick, and healed many.
14 Inkosi uHerodi wasesizwa ngakho, ngoba ibizo lakhe laba sobala, wasesithi: UJohane owabhabhathizayo uvukile kwabafileyo, futhi kungakho lamandla esebenza kuye.
AND Herodes the king heard concerning Jeshu, for his name had become known; and he said, Juchanon the Baptizer hath risen from among the dead; therefore works of power are wrought by him.
15 Abanye bathi: UnguElija; labanye bathi: Ungumprofethi, kumbe unjengomunye wabaprofethi.
Others said, He is Elia; and others, A prophet as one from the prophets.
16 Kodwa uHerodi esezwile wathi: Lo nguJohane, mina engamquma ikhanda; yena uvukile kwabafileyo.
But when Herodes heard, he said, It is Juchanon whom I beheaded; he hath risen from among the dead.
17 Ngoba yena uHerodi wayethumele wambamba uJohane, wambopha entolongweni, ngenxa kaHerodiyasi umkaFiliphu umfowabo, ngoba wayemthethe.
For Herodes had sent and had taken Juchanon, and had cast him into the house of the bound, on account of Herodia, wife of Philipos his brother, whom he had taken.
18 Ngoba uJohane wayethe kuHerodi: Kawuvunyelwa ukuba lomkamfowenu.
For Juchanon had said to Herodes, It is not lawful to thee to take the wife of thy brother.
19 UHerodiyasi wasembambela inhliziyo, wafuna ukumbulala; kodwa kenelisanga;
But Herodia herself was adverse to him, and wished to kill him, but she could not.
20 ngoba uHerodi wayemesaba uJohane, esazi ukuthi uyindoda elungileyo lengcwele, wamlondoloza; lalapho emuzwa, wenza izinto ezinengi, wamuzwa ngokuthokoza.
For Herodes feared Juchanon, because he knew that he was a man righteous and holy, and he protected him, and was many (times) hearing him, doing, and hearing him favourably.
21 Kwathi selufikile usuku oluhle, uHerodi ngelanga lakhe lokuzalwa wenzela izikhulu zakhe lenduna zenkulungwane labalisa beGalili ukudla kwantambama,
And there was a notable day when Herodes, in the house of his nativity, (b'beth yaldeh, ) made a feast to his chiefs and kiliarchs and the heads of Galila;
22 kwathi indodakazi kaHerodiyasi lo isingenile yagida, yamkholisa uHerodi lalabo ababehlezi ekudleni laye, inkosi yathi entombini: Cela kimi loba kuyini okuthandayo, njalo ngizakupha;
and the daughter of Herodia came in (and) danced; and she pleased Herodes and them who reclined with him. And the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee.
23 wafunga kuyo esithi: Loba kuyini ongakucela kimi, ngizakunika, kuze kube yingxenye yombuso wami.
And he sware to her, Whatever thou shalt ask (of) me, I will give thee, unto the dividing of my kingdom.
24 Yasiphuma isithi kunina: Ngizacelani? Yena wasesithi: Ikhanda likaJohane uMbhabhathizi.
Then went she out and said to her mother, What shall I ask of him? She saith to her, The head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
25 Njalo yahle yangena enkosini ngokuphangisa, yacela, yathi: Ngifuna ukuthi unginike khathesinje emganwini ikhanda likaJohane uMbhabhathizi.
And immediately she entered with solicitude unto the king, and saith to him, I will this hour that thou give me, upon a dish, the head of Juchanon the Baptizer.
26 Inkosi yasidabuka kakhulu, kodwa ngenxa yezifungo langalabo ababehlezi layo ekudleni kayithandanga ukuyilandulela.
And greatly grieved was the king; but, for the sake of the oath, and the sake of the guests, he could not deprive her.
27 Njalo inkosi yahle yathuma ibutho yalaya ukuthi kulethwe ikhanda lakhe. Wasehamba wamquma ikhanda entolongweni,
But the king despatched at once a sentinel, and commanded that he should bring the head of Juchanon. And he went and cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the bound,
28 waletha ikhanda lakhe ngomganu, walinika intombi; intombi yasilinika unina.
and brought (it) in a dish and gave to the damsel, and the damsel herself gave to her mother.
29 Kwathi abafundi bakhe sebezwile beza, bathatha isidumbu sakhe, basibeka engcwabeni.
And his disciples heard and went, took up his corpse, and laid it in the place of the buried.
30 Abaphostoli basebebuthana kuJesu, bambikela konke, lababekwenzile kanye lababekufundisile.
AND the disciples gathered unto Jeshu, and told him all whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
31 Wasesithi kubo: Wozani lina lodwa endaweni eyinkangala, liphumule kancinyane. Ngoba babebanengi abafikayo labahambayo, futhi bengelathuba lokudla.
And he said to them, Come and let us go into the desert alone, and rest a little while; for there were multitudes going and coming, (so that) they had not space even to eat;
32 Bakhuphuka ngomkhumbi baya endaweni eyinkangala bebodwa.
and they went to a wilderness district in a vessel by themselves.
33 Amaxuku asebabona besuka, labanengi bamazi, bagijimela khona kanyekanye ngenyawo bevela emizini yonke, basebebandulela, bahlangana kuye.
And many saw them as they went, and knew them; and into the waste ran they from all the cities, and were there before him.
34 Kwathi uJesu esephuma wabona ixuku elikhulu, waba lesihelo ngabo, ngoba babenjengezimvu ezingelamelusi; waseqala ukubafundisa izinto ezinengi.
And Jeshu coming forth beheld the great assemblies, and had compassion upon them, they being like sheep which had no shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35 Kwathi isikhathi sesihambile, abafundi bakhe beza kuye bathi: Lindawo iyinkangala, lesikhathi sesihambile;
And when much time had passed, the disciples came to him and said to him, This place is waste, and the time is great;
36 bayekele, ukuze baye ezigabeni ezizingelezeleyo lemizaneni bazithengele izinkwa; ngoba bengelalutho abangaludla.
send them away to go to the farms around us and into the villages, and buy for themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.
37 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Banikeni lina ukuthi badle. Basebesithi kuye: Sihambe yini siyethenga izinkwa ngabodenariyo abangamakhulu amabili, sibaphe badle?
But he said to them, Give you them to eat. They said to him, Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred dinoreen, and give them to eat?
38 Wasesithi kubo: Lilezinkwa ezingaki? Hambani liyebona. Sebesazi bathi: Zinhlanu, lenhlanzi ezimbili.
But he said, Go see how many loaves you have here; and when they had seen, they said to him, Five loaves and two fishes.
39 Wasebalaya ukuthi babahlalise bonke phansi ngezigaba ngezigaba etshanini obuluhlaza.
And he directed that they should make them all recline in companies upon the herbage;
40 Basebehlala phansi ngamaviyo ngamaviyo, ngamakhulu langamatshumi amahlanu.
and they reclined in companies, 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 looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and those two fishes they divided among them all,
42 Basebesidla bonke, basutha.
and they all did eat and were satisfied.
43 Basebedobha izitsha ezilitshumi lambili ezagcwala imvuthu ezazisele, lokuseleyo kwenhlanzi.
And they took up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.
44 Lalabo abadlayo izinkwa, babengaba ngamadoda azinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
Now they who had eaten bread were five thousand men.
45 Njalo wahle wacindezela abafundi bakhe ukuthi bangene emkhunjini, njalo bamqalele ukuya ngaphetsheya eBhethisayida, yena esayekela ixuku lihamba.
And immediately he constrained his disciples to ascend into the bark, and to go before him across to Beth-tsaida, while he dismissed the assemblies;
46 Esebavalelisile, wasuka waya entabeni ukuyakhuleka.
and when he had sent them away, he went to a mountain to pray.
47 Sekuhlwile, umkhumbi wawuphakathi kolwandle, futhi yena wayeyedwa emhlabathini.
BUT when it was eventide, the bark was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone upon the land.
48 Wababona behlupheka kakhulu ekugwedleni, ngoba umoya wawuphambene labo, wasesiza kubo sokungaba yisikhathi somlindo wesine wobusuku, ehamba phezu kolwandle; wasefuna ukubadlula.
And he saw them that they were distressed with rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night Jeshu came to them walking upon the waters, (as though) he willed to pass by them:
49 Sebembonile ehamba phezu kolwandle, basebecabanga ukuthi lithonga, bakhala kakhulu;
but they beheld him walking upon the waters, and thought it was a spectre, and they cried out;
50 ngoba bambona bonke, bethuka. Kodwa wahle wakhuluma labo, wathi kubo: Manini isibindi; yimi, lingesabi.
for all saw him and were afraid. But he immediately spoke to them and said to them, Take heart, I am, fear not.
51 Wasesenyukela kubo emkhunjini, umoya wasuthula; basebesanganiseka kakhulu okwedlula amalawulo ngaphakathi, bamangala.
And he ascended to them into the ship, and the wind was still: and they wondered greatly, and were astonished among themselves.
52 Ngoba babengaqedisisanga ngezinkwa; ngoba inhliziyo yabo yayilukhuni.
For they understood not from that bread, because their heart was gross.
53 Kwathi sebechaphile bafika elizweni leGenesaretha, babophela umkhumbi ekhunjini.
And when they had crossed over, they came to the land of Genesar.
54 Bathi sebephumile emkhunjini, bahle bamazi,
And when they had gone forth from the bark, the men of the place at once recognised him.
55 njalo bagijimela kuso sonke lesosigaba esizingelezeleyo, baqala ukubhoda bethwala abagulayo ngamathala bebasa lapho abebesizwa ukuthi ukhona.
And they ran throughout all that land, and began to bring those who were greatly afflicted, bearing them on couchettes, to where they heard that 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 wherever he entered, into villages and cities, they placed the sick in the streets, and besought from him that they might touch only the edge of his mantle; and all they who touched him were healed.
