< UMakho 1 >
1 Ukuqala kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu;
Shisoweru Shiwagira ashi sha Yesu Kristu, Mwana gwa Mlungu.
2 njengokulotshiweyo kubaprofethiukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
Yankuyanja gambira Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu ntambu yakalembiti, “Mlungu kalongiti, ‘Guloli numtuma ntumintumi gwangu hakakulonguleri Hakakunywawili njira yaku.’
3 Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani izindledlana zayo.
Liziwu lya muntu lipikanika kushiwala, ‘Mumtenderi kala Mtuwa njira yakuwi, mumnyawili weri njira zyakuwi!’”
4 Kweza uJohane ebhabhathiza enkangala, etshumayela ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono,
Yohani kalawiriti kushiwala, kawabwelera wantu na kuwabatiza, pakawagambira, “Mleki vidoda vyenu na mbatizwi na Mlungu hakawalekiziyi vidoda vyenu.”
5 njalo kwaphumela kuye ilizwe lonke leJudiya, labo abeJerusalema, basebebhabhathizwa bonke nguye emfuleni iJordani, bevuma izono zabo.
Wantu wavuwa wamgenderiti Yohani, wantu yawalawiti Yerusalemu na Yudeya, walekiti vidoda vyawatenditi na yomberi kawabatiziti mulushemba lwa Yoridani.
6 Futhi uJohane wayembethe uboya bekamela, elozwezwe lwesikhumba ekhalweni lwakhe, wayesidla intethe loluju lweganga.
Yohani kavaliti nguwu yayinyawitwi kwa mibaira ya nkanyama ngamiya, mushunu kalitawiti lugoyi lwa lukuli na shiboga shakuwi shiweriti lwashi na wanjombi.
7 Watshumayela, esithi: Olamandla kulami uyeza emva kwami, engingafanele ukukhothama ngithukulule umchilo wamanyathela akhe.
Yohani kabweriti pakalonga, “Pa neni kankwiza muntu mkulu kuliku neni. Neni nfaa ndiri ata kuyopola lugoyi lwa vilwatu vyakuwi.
8 Mina isibili ngilibhabhathize ngamanzi; kodwa yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Neni nukubatizani kwa mashi, kumbiti yomberi hakawabatizani kwa Rohu Mnanagala.”
9 Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku kwafika uJesu evela eNazaretha yeGalili, wabhabhathizwa nguJohane eJordani.
Mashaka galii Yesu kiziti kulawa Nazareti lushi lwa Galilaya na kabatiziwitwi na Yohani mulushemba lwa Yoridani.
10 Wenela ukukhuphuka emanzini, wabona amazulu eqhekezeka, loMoya kungathi lijuba esehlela phezu kwakhe;
Pala palii Yesu pakalawiti mumashi, kawona kumpindi kwa Mlungu kuvuguka na Rohu Mnanagala kamkangalira gambira ng'unda.
11 kwasekusiza ilizwi livela emazulwini, lathi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo.
Na liziwu lilawira kumpindi kwa Mlungu, lilonga, “Gwenga gwa Mwana gwangu yanukufira, gunfiriziya.”
12 Njalo uMoya wahle wamqhubela enkangala.
Pala palii Rohu Mnanagala kamlonguziyiti Yesu kushiwala.
13 Wayekhona-ke lapho enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane, wayelezilo, ingilosi zasezimnceda.
Su kaweriti kushiwala aku mashaka malongu msheshi, pakajeresiwa na Shetani. Kalikaliti aku pamuhera na wankanyama wa kuntundu na wantumintumi wa kumpindi wamtenderiti.
14 Kwathi emva kokunikelwa kukaJohane, uJesu wafika eGalili, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu,
Yohani pawamtatiriti kala mushibetubetu, Yesu kagenditi lushi lwa Galilaya, kulii kanjiti kubwera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Mlungu,
15 njalo esithi: Isikhathi sigcwalisekile, njalo umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele; phendukani, likholwe ivangeli.
pakalonga, “Shipindi shiza! Ufalumi wa Mlungu wapakwegera. Mleki vidoda vyamtenda na mushijimiri Shisoweru Shiwagira!”
16 Kwathi ehambahamba elwandle lweGalili wabona uSimoni loAndreya umfowabo, bephosela imbule olwandle; ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
Yesu kaweriti kankupita mumpeku mwa litanda lya Galilaya, kamwona Simoni na Andereya mlongu gwakuwi, womberi waweriti wankulowa wasomba.
17 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngilandelani, ngizalenza libe ngabagoli babantu.
Yesu kawagambira, “Munfati neni, hanuwafundi mwenga muweri walowa wantu.”
18 Njalo bahle batshiya amambule abo, bamlandela.
Pala palii wazileka nyavu zyawu na wamfata.
19 Eseqhubeke ibangana esuka lapho, wabona uJakobe okaZebediya, loJohane umfowabo, labo babesemkhunjini belungisa amambule abo.
Yesu pakagenditi palongolu padidini, kawawoniti Yakobu na Yohani wana wa Zebedayu walivagiti mumtumbwi wankunyawa nyavu zyawu.
20 Njalo wahle wababiza; basebetshiya uyise uZebediya emkhunjini leziqhatshwa, basuka bamlandela.
Pala palii Yesu kawashema wamfati, womberi wamleka Zebedayu tati gwawu pamuhera na wantumintumi wakuwi mumtumbwi.
21 Basebengena eKapenawume; kwathi ngesabatha wahle wangena esinagogeni, wafundisa.
Yesu na wantumintumi wakuwi wagenditi lushi lwa Kafarinaumu, palifikiti Lishaka lya Kwoyera Yesu kagenditi munumba ya Mlungu na kanja kufunda.
22 Basebebabaza ngemfundiso yakhe; ngoba wabafundisa njengolamandla, njalo kungenjengababhali.
Wantu yawampikaniriti Yesu walikangashiti nentu ntambu yakafunditi, toziya kafunditi ndiri gambira wafunda wawu wa Malagaliru ga Musa, kumbiti kafunditi gambira muntu yakawera na uwezu.
23 Futhi kwakukhona esinagogeni labo umuntu owayelomoya ongcolileyo, wasememeza,
Shipindi shilaa shilii kuweriti na muntu yakaweriti na washamshera Munumba ya Mlungu, yomberi kabotanga,
24 wathi: Yekela, silani lawe, Jesu weNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa yini? Ngiyakwazi wena ukuthi ungubani: ONgcwele kaNkulunkulu.
“Yesu gwa Nazareti, gwana shishi na twenga? Shagwizira gutwagamiziyi? Neni nukumana kala kuwera gwenga gwa gaa, gwenga gwa Mnanagala gwa Mlungu.”
25 UJesu wasemkhuza, wathi: Thula, uphume kuye.
Yesu kamkalipira shamshera ulii, “Umatu, gumwuki muntu ayu.”
26 Futhi umoya ongcolileyo emhlukuluza ekhala ngelizwi elikhulu, waphuma kuye.
Shamshera kambegeziya nentu muntu ulii pakabotanga, shakapanu kamlekeziya.
27 Basebemangala bonke, baze babuzana, bathi: Kuyini lokhu? Yimfundiso bani entsha le, ukuthi ngamandla uyalaya labomoya abangcolileyo, futhi bamlalele.
Wantu woseri walikangashiti nentu na wanjiti kulikosiya, “Shishi ashi? Aga mafundu ga syayi yagawera na uwezu! Muntu ayu kawera na makakala ga kuwawinga washamshera na womberi wamjimira!”
28 Njalo yahle yaphuma indumela yakhe esigabeni sonke seGalili esizingelezeleyo.
Su visoweru vyakatenditi Yesu vipikinirika kanongola koseri mumkowa gwa Galilaya.
29 Njalo bahle baphuma esinagogeni, bangena endlini kaSimoni loAndreya, kanye loJakobe loJohane.
Palaa palii pawalawiti Munumba ya Mlungu, womberi wagenditi pamuhera na Yakobu na Yohani mpaka ukaya kwa Simoni na Andereya.
30 Futhi uninazala kaSimoni wayelele eloqhuqho, njalo bahle bamtshela ngaye;
Pawasokiti palii, womberi wamgambiriti Yesu kuwera mikamwana gwa Simoni kapyupa kagonja mushitanda.
31 wasesondela, wabamba isandla sakhe wamvusa; futhi uqhuqho lwahle lwamyekela, wabasebenzela.
Su Yesu kamgendera mlweri, kamkola liwoku na kumgolosiya, mawu ulii kawera mkomu na kanja kuwatelekera.
32 Kwathi sekuhlwile, ilanga selitshona, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo lababengenwe ngamadimoni;
Pamihi mshenji paguzyetiti, wantu wamjegera Yesu walweli woseri na walii yawaweriti na washamshera.
33 njalo umuzi wonke wawubuthene emnyango.
Wantu woseri wa lushi lulii wajojinikiti paluwaga lwa numba.
34 Wasesilisa abanengi ababegula izifo ezitshiyeneyo, wakhupha amadimoni amanengi, kodwa kavumelanga amadimoni ukuthi akhulume, ngoba ayemazi.
Yesu kawaponiziyiti wantu wavuwa yawaweriti na malweri ga kila ntambu. Viraa kawawingiti washamshera, kafiriti ndiri washamshera watakuli shintu shoseri toziya waweriti wankumumana.
35 Njalo ekuseni kusesemnyama kakhulu wavuka waphuma, waya endaweni eyinkangala, wakhuleka khona.
Shilawu yakuwi ligonugonu, Yesu kalawa kunja kwa lushi na kagenditi pahala pa gweka kumluwa Mlungu.
36 USimoni lababelaye basebemdingisisa;
Kumbiti Simoni na wayaguwi wagenditi kumsakula.
37 sebemtholile bathi kuye: Bonke bayakudinga.
Na pawamwoniti kala wamgambira, “Kila muntu kankukusakula!”
38 Wasesithi kubo: Asiye emizini eseduze, ukuze ngitshumayele lakhona; ngoba ngiphumele lokhu.
Kumbiti Yesu kawankula, “Tugendeni pahala pamonga pa lushi zyaziwera pakwegera, su neni nwezi kubwera aku viraa toziya ashi ndo shashinjegiti kushitenda.”
39 Wasetshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke eleGalili, ekhupha amadimoni.
Su yomberi kagenda Mugalilaya kwoseri pakabwera mnumba za Mlungu na kuwawinga washamshera.
40 Kwasekufika kuye umlephero, emncenga eguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, esithi kuye: Aluba uthanda, ungangihlambulula.
Mungumbula yumu kamgenderiti Yesu kasuntumala na kamluwa, “Pagufira gumweni gumpungi neni.”
41 UJesu wasesiba lesihelo, welula isandla, wamthinta, wathi kuye: Ngiyathanda, hlambuluka;
Yesu kamwonera lusungu nentu, kamkola liwoku kalonga, “Neni nfira, gupungwi.”
42 esekhulumile bahle basuka ubulephero kuye, wahlanjululwa.
Palaa palii Muntu ungumbula umlekeziya.
43 Wasemlayisisa, wahle wamyekela wahamba,
Shakapanu Yesu kambereziya muntu ulii, kamlekeziya kagendi zyakuwi
44 esithi kuye: Khangela ungatsheli muntu ulutho; kodwa hamba, uziveze kumpristi, unikele ngokuhlanjululwa kwakho lokho uMozisi akulayayo, kube yibufakazi kubo.
pakamgambira, “Nagumgambira muntu yoseri visoweru avi, kumbiti gugendi gwakaliranguziyi kwa mtambika gwa Numba ya Mlungu na gulaviyi malaviwu kwajili ya kupungwa kwaku gambira Musa ntambu yakalagaliriti kuwera ukapitawu kwa woseri kuwera guponiziwa.”
45 Kodwa yena esephumile waqala ukumemezela kakhulu walwandisa udaba, kwaze kwathi wayengaselakho ukungena emzini obala, kodwa wayengaphandle ezindaweni ezizinkangala; beza kuye bevela enhlangothini zonke.
Kumbiti muntu ulii kagenda kanja kubwera visoweru vya kuponiziwa kwakuwi kwa kila yakamwona. Su Yesu kasinda kuliyonisiya mulushi lulii, yomberi kalikaliti pahala pa gweka. Pamuhera na hangu wantu waweriti wankumgendera yomberi kulawa wega zoseri.
