1 Wasesuka lapho, waya emzini wakibo; abafundi bakhe basebemlandela.
Pwu akhahege ukhuluta khujini gwa miave, avakhongi va mwene vakhenkonga.
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?
Vuyefihe e Sabato, akhatengula ukhumanyisya mu sinagogi. Avanu vingi vakhampulekhe nu khudega. Vakhata, “Akavile ndahu ulumanyisyo alo?” Luhala lukhi ulwapevilwe?” Ivomba ndekhehi aga khu monokhoga mwene?”
3 Lo kayisuye umbazi yini, indodana kaMariya, lomfowabo kaJakobe loJose loJudasi loSimoni? Labodadewabo kabakho yini lapha kithi? Basebekhubeka ngaye.
Oyo si ve ola u Selemala, nswambe va Mariamu na lokhololwe lwa va Yakobo, Yose, Yuta nu Simioni? Na vakhenchavevitama pakhapa nufwe?” Yavakhovoswe nu Yiisu.
4 Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Umprofethi kasweli ukudunyiswa, ngaphandle kwelizweni lakibo, lezihlotsheni zakhe lendlini yakwabo.
U Yiisu akhavavola, “Unyamalagosi dwadiwa, apange mjini gwa mwene na valokhololwe ava mbunchenge vwa mwene.”
5 Futhi wayengelakho ukwenza lowodwa umsebenzi wamandla lapho, ngaphandle kokubeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo abalutshwana, wabasilisa.
Pwu sakhavomba inchakhudeega apo, akhavavekhela ifivokho avatamu vadebe vakhepona.
6 Wasemangala ngokungakholwa kwabo. Wabhodabhoda imizana efundisa.
Akhaswiga ulwa khuva savalekhwedekhe. Pwu akhavigendela ifijiji fya pawipi nu khumanyisya.
7 Wasebizela kuye abalitshumi lambili, waqala ukubathuma ngababili ngababili, wabanika amandla phezu kwabomoya abangcolileyo.
Akhavelanga avakongi kumi ne mbili akhatengula ukhuvasukha vavele vavele. Akhavapa ululagelo khu mepo imbivi,
8 Wabalaya ukuthi bangaphathi lutho lwendlela, ngaphandle kodondolo kuphela; lasikhwama, lasinkwa, lamali ezwezweni;
Nu khuvalagela wasite ukhugega ekhe nu khyokhyoni vuvilula vagegage ingoma njene. Vasite ukhugega unkate, umpakho ni ndalama mufipakho;
9 kodwa bafake amanyathela; futhi bangembathi izembatho ezimbili.
Pwu vafyale ifikato, vasite ukhuva na magwanda gavele.
10 Wasesithi kubo: Lapho elingena khona endlini, hlalani kiyo lize liphume khona.
Akhavavola, “Uvenjenge vwuwoni umuyakheva mukhwingela, mtamage apo mpakha vu mwikhega.
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.
Nu njini gyogyoni gugwa sakhuhovupilela ama nkhuvapulekhencha, mukhegege khuvene, mwekhuhune ulundukhulu lwa mmalunde genyo, kheve kheme nyekhelo khuvene.”
12 Sebephumile batshumayela ukuthi baphenduke;
Na vene vakhaluta nu khulumbelela avanu ukhuuta nu ukhunchilekha imbivi incha vene.
13 bakhupha amadimoni amanengi, bagcoba abanengi abagulayo ngamagcobo babasilisa.
Vakhavaswema imepo imbivi nu khuvabakha imono avatamu vakhapona.
14 Inkosi uHerodi wasesizwa ngakho, ngoba ibizo lakhe laba sobala, wasesithi: UJohane owabhabhathizayo uvukile kwabafileyo, futhi kungakho lamandla esebenza kuye.
Untwa u Herode vuapolikhe ago, ulwa khuva elitawa lya Yiisu levile lemanyekhikhe. Avange vakhata, “Yohani unyalyoncho anchokhile, amakhe ni fikhwani fivomba imbombo mu mwene.”
15 Abanye bathi: UnguElija; labanye bathi: Ungumprofethi, kumbe unjengomunye wabaprofethi.
Avange vakhata, “Oyo ve Eliya, “Nu avange vakhata, “Oyo ve nyamalago, alepaninie na vanyamalago avakhetale.”
16 Kodwa uHerodi esezwile wathi: Lo nguJohane, mina engamquma ikhanda; yena uvukile kwabafileyo.
Pwu u Herode vu apulikhe aga akhata, “Yohani, yoywa nagedile untwe anchokhile.”
17 Ngoba yena uHerodi wayethumele wambamba uJohane, wambopha entolongweni, ngenxa kaHerodiyasi umkaFiliphu umfowabo, ngoba wayemthethe.
Ulwa khuva Herode yoywa alagile u Yohani ibatwe nu khukungwa khwa Herodia (udala va mbakhave va Filipo) ulwa khuva umene antolile ukhuva idala.
18 Ngoba uJohane wayethe kuHerodi: Kawuvunyelwa ukuba lomkamfowenu.
Ulwa khuva u Yohani ambolile u Herode, “Lu vivi ukhuntola udala va mbakhavo.”
19 UHerodiyasi wasembambela inhliziyo, wafuna ukumbulala; kodwa kenelisanga;
Pwu u Herode akhatengula ukhukalalela alekhulonda ukhumbuda, akhalemwa,
20 ngoba uHerodi wayemesaba uJohane, esazi ukuthi uyindoda elungileyo lengcwele, wamlondoloza; lalapho emuzwa, wenza izinto ezinengi, wamuzwa ngokuthokoza.
U Herode alekhundwadwa u Yohani; alomanyile ukhuta va ye lweli munu mbalanche, pwu akhandekhe. Vwu ipikhompole khencha akhavanulususuvalo, akhahovoha ukhumpole hencha.
21 Kwathi selufikile usuku oluhle, uHerodi ngelanga lakhe lokuzalwa wenzela izikhulu zakhe lenduna zenkulungwane labalisa beGalili ukudla kwantambama,
Vwu gufikhe unsekhe vwu lekhegelile elinchuva lya khololiwa u Herode ahavandalela avakhongi va mwene, avasikhali, na valongonchi va Galileya.
22 kwathi indodakazi kaHerodiyasi lo isingenile yagida, yamkholisa uHerodi lalabo ababehlezi ekudleni laye, inkosi yathi entombini: Cela kimi loba kuyini okuthandayo, njalo ngizakupha;
Pwu umaleve va Herodia akhingela pakhonema, akhang'ovosya u Herode na vagenji avalepakhulya lyakhemihe pwu u herodeakhambula umwaleve, “Udove kyokyoni ikhevwunongwa une yanikhuhupa.”
23 wafunga kuyo esithi: Loba kuyini ongakucela kimi, ngizakunika, kuze kube yingxenye yombuso wami.
Akhadyega ukhuta, khyokyoni khekyo yavudova, yanikhuhupa, ndageve nusu ya indeva lwango.”
24 Yasiphuma isithi kunina: Ngizacelani? Yena wasesithi: Ikhanda likaJohane uMbhabhathizi.
Akhahoma khunji akhavoncha khwa vanina, “Nedove ekhehi?” Akhata, “Untwe ugwa Yohani.”
25 Njalo yahle yangena enkosini ngokuphangisa, yacela, yathi: Ngifuna ukuthi unginike khathesinje emganwini ikhanda likaJohane uMbhabhathizi.
Unsekhe gugwa akhingila khwa nkuludeva akhatengula ukhunchova, “Ninogwa umemu sakhani, untwe gwa Yohani.”
26 Inkosi yasidabuka kakhulu, kodwa ngenxa yezifungo langalabo ababehlezi layo ekudleni kayithandanga ukuyilandulela.
Unkuludeva akhasususvala, ulwakhuva aedyegile pavageni, akhalemwa nkhubelela ekheadovile.
27 Njalo inkosi yahle yathuma ibutho yalaya ukuthi kulethwe ikhanda lakhe. Wasehamba wamquma ikhanda entolongweni,
Pwu unkuludeva akahasuha avasikhali va mwene akhavalagela ukhuluta ukhugegela umtwe gwa Yohani. Pwu usikhali akhalota khwigeda untwe mumbokongwa.
28 waletha ikhanda lakhe ngomganu, walinika intombi; intombi yasilinika unina.
Akhagega untwe gwa Yohani mu sakhani akhampa umwana, umwana akhampa uvanina.
29 Kwathi abafundi bakhe sebezwile beza, bathatha isidumbu sakhe, basibeka engcwabeni.
Avakhongi va mwene vuvapulikhe ago, vakhaluta khuhogotola ufimba gwa mwene vakhaluta khusyila hulipumba.
30 Abaphostoli basebebuthana kuJesu, bambikela konke, lababekwenzile kanye lababekufundisile.
Avasukhiwa vakhalundamano popaninie khuvolongolo khwa Yiisu, vakhambula goni agavavombile nu khuvamanyisya.
31 Wasesithi kubo: Wozani lina lodwa endaweni eyinkangala, liphumule kancinyane. Ngoba babebanengi abafikayo labahambayo, futhi bengelathuba lokudla.
Pwu akhavavola, “Mwinchange pavotitu tugatalukhe padebe.” Avanu vingi valekhwincha nu khuhega savakhava nu unsekhe ugwa khulavukha.
32 Bakhuphuka ngomkhumbi baya endaweni eyinkangala bebodwa.
Pwu vakhatoga mu mbwato vakhaluta pavutitu vakhava vene.
33 Amaxuku asebabona besuka, labanengi bamazi, bagijimela khona kanyekanye ngenyawo bevela emizini yonke, basebebandulela, bahlangana kuye.
Vakhavavona vuvikhaga, vakhavamanya pupaninie vakhanyila ulwamalonde vakhavatalela ukhunchifikha.
34 Kwathi uJesu esephuma wabona ixuku elikhulu, waba lesihelo ngabo, ngoba babenjengezimvu ezingelamelusi; waseqala ukubafundisa izinto ezinengi.
Vuvafikhe khu mbwani, akhavavona ava lulundamano akhavakolela ekhesa, ulwa khuva vale ndi ng'osi imbula ndoleli. Akhatengula ukhuvamanyisya imbombo inyingi.
35 Kwathi isikhathi sesihambile, abafundi bakhe beza kuye bathi: Lindawo iyinkangala, lesikhathi sesihambile;
Emisekhe vugelulile, avakhongi vakhakonga vakhata, “Apa pale pavutitu nu usekhe gulutile.
36 bayekele, ukuze baye ezigabeni ezizingelezeleyo lemizaneni bazithengele izinkwa; ngoba bengelalutho abangaludla.
Welage valute khunji ni vijiji vakhagule ekyakhulya.”
37 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Banikeni lina ukuthi badle. Basebesithi kuye: Sihambe yini siyethenga izinkwa ngabodenariyo abangamakhulu amabili, sibaphe badle?
Pwu akhavanda akhata, “Muvape umwe ekyakhulya.” Vakhambola, “Tuwesye ukhuluta khwigula imikate igya dinari mia mbili nu khuvapa valye?”
38 Wasesithi kubo: Lilezinkwa ezingaki? Hambani liyebona. Sebesazi bathi: Zinhlanu, lenhlanzi ezimbili.
Akhavavola, “Mle nemikate gelengi? Luta mukhalole.” Vovapatile vakhambola, “Emikate gekhano ni somba ivele.”
39 Wasebalaya ukuthi babahlalise bonke phansi ngezigaba ngezigaba etshanini obuluhlaza.
Akhavalagela avanu vatame mu fipuga mu manyasi amigu.
40 Basebehlala phansi ngamaviyo ngamaviyo, ngamakhulu langamatshumi amahlanu.
Vakhavatamekha mu fipuga; mu fipuga fya mamia khu hamsini.
41 Wasethatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, ekhangela phezulu ezulwini, wabonga, wazihlephula izinkwa, wazinika abafundi bakhe ukuthi bazibeke phambi kwabo; lenhlanzi ezimbili wazabela bonke.
Pwu akhatola emikhate gekhano ni somba ivele, pwu akhalolakhukyanya akhagesaya, pwu akhavapa avakongi vavekhe mbulongolo pa lulundamano. Pwu akhagava isomba ivele khu vanu voni.
42 Basebesidla bonke, basutha.
Vakhalya voni vakhakwila.
43 Basebedobha izitsha ezilitshumi lambili ezagcwala imvuthu ezazisele, lokuseleyo kwenhlanzi.
Vakhalundania imikate emimenyule egesigile, vikhadega ifitondu kumi na mbili, ni somba inchi menyuliwe.
44 Lalabo abadlayo izinkwa, babengaba ngamadoda azinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
Vale avagosi elfu tano avalile emikate.
45 Njalo wahle wacindezela abafundi bakhe ukuthi bangene emkhunjini, njalo bamqalele ukuya ngaphetsheya eBhethisayida, yena esayekela ixuku lihamba.
Pwu akhavavola ukhuta vatoge mu mbwato valote khuvunge, vakhaluta khuabethsaida, vu ikhelaga nu vanya lulundamano.
46 Esebavalelisile, wasuka waya entabeni ukuyakhuleka.
avuvakhegile, akhaluta khukyomba khudova.
47 Sekuhlwile, umkhumbi wawuphakathi kolwandle, futhi yena wayeyedwa emhlabathini.
vuyevile lyakhemile, uwato vwu vulepagati mu nyanja, umwene ale mwene khumwambo.
48 Wababona behlupheka kakhulu ekugwedleni, ngoba umoya wawuphambene labo, wasesiza kubo sokungaba yisikhathi somlindo wesine wobusuku, ehamba phezu kolwandle; wasefuna ukubadlula.
Akhavavova vovigatanchiwa mu mbwato ulwa khuva imepo nchilikhuvasiga, vuvulepakhwikya akhavalotela, alekhugenda nkyanya munyanja, akhonogwa ukhulutaniche.
49 Sebembonile ehamba phezu kolwandle, basebecabanga ukuthi lithonga, bakhala kakhulu;
Pwu vuvambwene igenda nkyanya mu magasi, vakhava nuludwadwa vakhata pamo misyokha pwu vakhaywega.
50 ngoba bambona bonke, bethuka. Kodwa wahle wakhuluma labo, wathi kubo: Manini isibindi; yimi, lingesabi.
Ulwa khuva vambwene vakhava nululundamano. Pwu akhanchova akhavavola, “Muve vakhangafu! Nene! Msite ukhudwada.”
51 Wasesenyukela kubo emkhunjini, umoya wasuthula; basebesanganiseka kakhulu okwedlula amalawulo ngaphakathi, bamangala.
Akhingela mu mbwaro, imepo yekhelekhelwa unkhuluguto, pwu vakhadega lweli.
52 Ngoba babengaqedisisanga ngezinkwa; ngoba inhliziyo yabo yayilukhuni.
Pwu vakhava saveliwe elimenyu lya mikate. Ulwa khuva inyala nchavene nchale ndebe.
53 Kwathi sebechaphile bafika elizweni leGenesaretha, babophela umkhumbi ekhunjini.
Vovalowikhe khumwambo, vakhafikha ekhelunga ekhya Genesareti pwu uwato vakhema.
54 Bathi sebephumile emkhunjini, bahle bamazi,
Vovakhomile khunji khuwato, pwu vakhamanya.
55 njalo bagijimela kuso sonke lesosigaba esizingelezeleyo, baqala ukubhoda bethwala abagulayo ngamathala bebasa lapho abebesizwa ukuthi ukhona.
Vakhanyila khulumbelela mu khelunga vakhatengula ukhuvagega avatamu mu fisanja, khela vuvapulikhe ukhuta ikhwincha.
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.
Popone opoaingile mu vijiji, ana mijini, amamukhelunga vakhavavekha avatamu upovigonchekhecha, vakhadova edekhe ukhwibata eligwanda lya mwene. Voni vavo vamwibite vakhapona.
