U Yesu ahalongozowilwe nu Mpepe mpaka hujangwa ili ajelwe nu setano.
2 Esezile ukudla insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane, ekucineni walamba.
Ahafunjile insiku arobaini nunsanya na nunsiku ahali ni nzala.
3 Kwasekusiza kuye umlingi wathi: Uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, tshono ukuthi lamatshe abe yizinkwa.
Uwinjelo ahinza ahamuzya, “Ahaga awe ukewe mwana wa Ngulubhi ugobhuzye amawe iga gabhe makati.”
4 Kodwa yena waphendula wathi: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Umuntu kayikuphila ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa ngalo lonke ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu.
Lelo u Yesu ahaga ahamuzya, “Iyandihwilwe, 'Umuntu sangakhala munsi umu alyanje gamakati gini, hata hwizwi lyolyonti lyelifuma hwa Ngulubhi.”
5 Udiyabhola wasemthatha wamusa emzini ongcwele, wasemmisa engqongeni yethempeli,
Habhili usetano ahantwalile mpaka munsi nyinza na humishe pamwanya hani pinyumba iyishibhanza,
6 wasesithi kuye: Uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ziwisele phansi; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uzalaya ingilosi zakhe ngawe, besezikuphatha ngezandla, hlezi loba nini ukhube unyawo lwakho elitsheni.

7 UJesu wathi kuye: Kulotshiwe futhi ukuthi: Ungayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
U Yesu ahambula, “Ahaga habhili ahaga, 'Uganje hunjele u Ngulubhi waho.”
8 Udiyabhola wabuya wamusa entabeni ende kakhulu, wamtshengisa imibuso yonke yomhlaba lokukhazimula kwayo,
Habhili, usetano ahamwega na huntwale pigamba pamwanya hani ahanolesya insi zyontiinyinza.
9 wathi kuye: Zonke lezizinto ngizakunika zona, uba uwela phansi ungikhonza.
Ahaga, “Inzahupele ivintu vyonti ivi nkewaninamila na humpute ani.”
10 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Suka, Sathane! Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uzakhothamela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, njalo uzakhonza yona yodwa.
U Yesu ahabhula, “Sogolaga uyepe ipa, setano! Pipo isimbilwe ihwanziwa humpute Ungulubhi waho, umombele yuyo mwimi.”
11 Udiyabhola wasemyekela; njalo khangela, kwafika ingilosi zasezimsebenzela.
Usetano ahaneha, nahabhalola, abhantumi bhahinza humpute na humbhombele.
12 Kwathi uJesu esezwile ukuthi uJohane unikelwe entolongweni, wasuka waya eGalili;
U Yesu naahanvwa aje u Yohana akhitwe, ahasoguye mpaka hu Galilaya.
13 wasesuka eNazaretha, weza wahlala eKapenawume engaselwandle, emingceleni yakoZebuloni leyakoNafithali;
Ahasoguye Hunazareti ahabhalile akhale Hukapernaumu, yilimunshinji mu bahari ya Hugalilaya, mumpaha mmajimbo ga Zabuloni nu Naftali.
14 ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uIsaya, ukuthi:
Ili lyahafumiye aje likamiliswe lyelyahayangwile nu kuwa u Isaya,
15 Ilizwe lakoZebuloni lelizwe lakoNafithali, endleleni yaselwandle, ngaphetsheya kweJordani, iGalili labezizwe,
“Munsi iya Zabuloni na munsi iya Naftali, abhale munsumbi mwisyila ilya Huyorodani, Hugalilaya iya hubhinsi!
16 abantu ababehlezi emnyameni babonile ukukhanya okukhulu, lababehlezi elizweni lethunzini lokufa ukukhanya kuphumele kubo.
Abhantu bhebhakhiye muhisi bhabhulolile umwanga ungosi hawi, na bhala bhebhahakhiye mwidala ilyifwe pamwanya ulukhozyo lukhozizye.”
17 Kusukela kulesosikhathi uJesu waqala ukutshumayela lokuthi: Phendukani; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ususondele.
Afume ahabhalilizyo iho u Yesu ahandile alumbilile aje, “Mulambe pipo ubhumwini uwahumwanya bhusojeliye.”
18 Kwathi uJesu ehambahamba elwandle lweGalili wabona izelamani ezimbili, uSimoni othiwa nguPetro, loAndreya umfowabo, bephosela imbule olwandle; ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
Lwahajendaga mushinji munsunbi iya Hugalilaya, ahabhalola aholo bhabhili, u Simoni yebhahakwizyaga yu Petro, nu Andrea ukaka wakwe, bhahatega inyavu mwusumbi pipo bhahasukulaga inswi.
19 Wasesithi kubo: Ngilandelani, njalo ngizalenza libe ngabagoli babantu.
U Yesu ahabhabhula ahaga, “Inzaji munfwate, imbabhabhishe mubhebhasukule abhantu.”
20 Bahle-ke batshiya amambule bamlandela.
Pinipo bhahaluleha ulwelo bhaufwata u Yesu.
21 Eseqhubeke esuka lapho, wabona ezinye izelamani ezimbili, uJakobe okaZebediya loJohane umfowabo, besemkhunjini kanye loZebediya uyise, belungisa amambule abo; wasebabiza.
U Yesu lwahajendelelaga afume ipo ahabhalola aholobbhabhili abhamwabho, Yakobo umwana wa Zebedayo, nu Yohana ukaka wakwe. Bhahali mwitoli peka nu Zebedayo uyise wabho bhahasonaga ulwelo lwabho. Ahabhakwizwa,
22 Njalo bahle batshiya umkhumbi loyise bamlandela.
pinipo bhahalileha itoli nu yise wabho bhope bhahanfuata.
23 UJesu wasebhoda iGalili yonke, efundisa emasinagogeni abo, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso, eselapha sonke isifo lobuthakathaka bonke ebantwini.
U Yesu ahabhalile Mugalilaya yonti, ahamanyizyaga mu Masinagogi gabho, ahalumbililaga ibhangili ubhumuini aponye impungo ni mbina zyonti zya bhantu.
24 Indumela yakhe yasiphumela kuyo yonke iSiriya; basebeletha kuye bonke abagulayo, ababephethwe yizifo ngezifo lobuhlungu, lababengenwe ngamadimoni, lababelezithuthwane, lababewome umhlubulo; wasebasilisa.
Inongwa zyakwe zyahayeshile Isiria yonti na abhantu bhahaleta abhabhinu bhebhali ni inpungo zinyinji, bhebhahali ni mpepo izyi shifafa na bhebhapoozizye. U Yesu ahabhaponizye.
25 Amaxuku amakhulu asemlandela evela eGalili leDikapolisi leJerusalema leJudiya langaphetsheya kweJordani.
Impuga ya bhantu yahali ngosi abhantu bhebhafuataga afume hu Galilaya, na Dekapoli, na Huyerusalemu na Huyahudi na afume mwisyila ilya hu Yorodani.
