UMathewu 9
1 Wasengena emkhunjini wachapha wafika emzini wakibo.
And having embarked into the ship, He crossed over, and came into His own city.
2 Futhi khangela, baletha kuye umuntu owome umhlubulo elele ehlakeni; uJesu ebona-ke ukholo lwabo wathi koyisigoga: Mana isibindi, ndodana; uthethelelwe izono zakho.
And behold, they were bringing to Him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, child, thy sins are forgiven thee.
3 Njalo khangela, abanye bababhali bakhulumela ngaphakathi bathi: Lo uyahlambaza.
And behold, certain ones of the scribes said among themselves; This man blasphemeth.
4 Njalo uJesu ebona imicabango yabo wathi: Lina linakanelani okubi enhliziyweni zenu?
And Jesus seeing their thoughts said, Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 Ngoba yikuphi okulula, ukuthi: Uthethelelwe izono zakho; kumbe ukuthi: Sukuma uhambe?
For whether is it easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or, Arise, and walk about?
6 Kodwa ukuze lazi ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu ilamandla emhlabeni okuthethelela izono (wasesithi kowome umhlubulo): Sukuma uthathe uhlaka lwakho, uye endlini yakho.
But in order that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then He says to the paralytic), Having arisen, take thy bed, and depart into thy house.
7 Wasesukuma waya endlini yakhe.
And having arisen, he came away to his own house.
8 Kwathi amaxuku esebonile, amangala, adumisa uNkulunkulu, onike abantu amandla anje.
And the multitude seeing, were astonished, and glorified God, who giveth such power to men.
9 Esedlula lapho uJesu wabona umuntu, othiwa nguMathewu, ehlezi endlini yokuthelisela, wathi kuye: Ngilandela. Wasesukuma wamlandela.
And Jesus passing along from thence, saw a man sitting at the toll, called Matthew; and He says to him, Follow me. And having arisen up, he followed Him.
10 Kwasekusithi ehlezi ekudleni endlini, khangela-ke, abathelisi abanengi lezoni beza bahlala ekudleni loJesu labafundi bakhe.
And it came to pass, He was sitting at the table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners, having come were sitting along with Jesus and His disciples.
11 AbaFarisi sebebonile bathi kubafundi bakhe: Kungani umfundisi wenu esidla labathelisi lezoni?
And the Pharisees seeing, said to His disciples, Wherefore does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?
12 Kwathi uJesu esizwa wathi kubo: Abaphilileyo kabadingi melaphi, kodwa abagulayo.
And Jesus hearing said to them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
13 Kodwa hambani lifunde ukuthi kutshoniukuthi: Ngifuna isihawu, njalo hatshi umhlatshelo; ngoba angizanga ukubiza abalungileyo, kodwa izoni zize ekuphendukeni.
But having gone, learned what this is, I wish mercy and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Khona kwafika kuye abafundi bakaJohane, besithi: Kungani thina labaFarisi sizila ukudla kanengi, kodwa abafundi bakho bengazili ukudla?
Then the disciples of John come to Him, saying, Wherefore do we and the Pharisee fast, but thy disciples do not fast?
15 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Abantwana bendlu yomthimba bangalila yini, selokhu umyeni elabo? Kodwa zizafika insuku lapho umyeni ezasuswa kubo; khona-ke bezazila ukudla.
And Jesus said to them, The sons of the bride-chamber are not able to fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them. But the day will come, when the bride-groom must be taken from them, and then they will fast.
16 Futhi kakho obekela isichibi selembu elingakafinyeli esembathweni esidala; ngoba lokho okubekelwe kuso kuzadabuka esembathweni, besesiqhela isikhala.
But no one puts a piece of new cloth on an old garment; for it takes its fullness from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Njalo kabatheli iwayini elitsha emigodleni emidala; uba-ke kungenjalo imigodla iyadabuka, lewayini lichitheke, lemigodla yonakale; kodwa iwayini elitsha balifaka emigodleni emitsha, besekulondolozeka kokubili.
Neither do they put new wine in old bottles: lest the bottles are broken, and the wine poured out, and the bottles shall perish: but they put the new wine into the new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 Kwathi esakhuluma lezizinto kubo, khangela, kwafika umphathi othile waguqa phambi kwakhe, wathi: Indodakazi yami isanda ukufa; kodwa woza ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo, njalo izaphila.
And He speaking these things to them, behold a certain ruler having come, continued to worship Him, saying, My daughter just now died: but having come put your hand on her, and she shall live.
19 Wasesukuma uJesu wamlandela, labafundi bakhe.
And Jesus having risen, follows him, and His disciples.
20 Njalo khangela, owesifazana owayelomopho okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, weza ngemuva kwakhe, wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe.
And behold, a woman, having an issue of blood twelve years, and coming to Him behind, touched the hem of His garment.
21 Ngoba wathi ngaphakathi kwakhe: Aluba ngithinta nje isembatho sakhe, ngizasindiswa.
For she continued to say within herself, If I may only touch His garment, I will be saved.
22 Kodwa uJesu etshibilika embona, wathi: Mana isibindi, ndodakazi; ukholo lwakho lukusindisile. Owesifazana wasesila kusukela ngalelohola.
And the woman was saved from that hour. And Jesus turning and seeing her said, Be of good cheer, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee.
23 UJesu wasefika endlini yomphathi, wabona abakhalisa imihlanga lexuku liphithizela,
And Jesus having come into the house of the ruler, and seeing the flute-players, and the weeping crowd,
24 wathi kubo: Dedani; ngoba intombazana kayifanga, kodwa ilele. Basebemhleka usulu.
says to them; Retire: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they hooted at Him.
25 Kodwa ixuku selikhutshiwe, wangena wabamba isandla sayo, intombazana yasivuka.
And when the crowd was put out, coming to her, He took her by the hand, and the damsel arose.
26 Indumela yalokho yasiphumela kulelolizwe lonke.
And this news went out into that whole country.
27 Kwathi uJesu esedlula lapho, iziphofu ezimbili zamlandela, zimemeza zisithi: Sihawukele, Ndodana kaDavida!
And two blind men followed Him, going thence, crying out, and saying,
28 Esengenile endlini, iziphofu zeza kuye; uJesu wasesithi kuzo: Liyakholwa yini ukuthi ngingakwenza lokhu? Zathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi.
Have mercy on us, thou Son of David. And the blind men came to Him, having come into the house: and Jesus says to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They say to Him, Yea, Lord.
29 Wasethinta amehlo azo, wathi: Akwenzeke kini njengokholo lwenu.
Then He touched their eyes, saying, Be it unto you according to your faith.
30 Asevulwa amehlo azo; uJesu wasezilayisisa kakhulu wathi: Qaphelani, kakungabi lamuntu okwaziyo.
And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, See that no one know it.
31 Kodwa zaphuma zafakaza ngaye kulo lonke lelolizwe.
But they having gone out, spread abroad His fame in all that country.
32 Kwathi ekuphumeni kwazo, khangela, baletha kuye umuntu oyisimungulu owayengenwe lidimoni;
And they going out, behold, they brought to Him a dumb man, demonized.
33 kwathi idimoni selikhutshiwe, isimungulu sakhuluma; amaxuku asemangala, athi: Kakuzanga kubonwe okunje koIsrayeli.
And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spoke. And the multitudes were astonished, saying,
34 Kodwa abaFarisi bathi: Ukhupha amadimoni ngenkosi yamadimoni.
Never did it so appear in Israel. And the Pharisees continued to say, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.
35 UJesu wasebhoda emizini yonke lemizaneni, efundisa emasinagogeni abo, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso, eselapha sonke isifo lobuthakathaka bonke ebantwini.
And Jesus was going around all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and ailment.
36 Kwathi ebona amaxuku, waba lesihelo ngawo, ngoba ayekhathele ehlakazekile njengezimvu ezingelamelusi.
And seeing the multitudes, He was moved in compassion in their behalf, because they were fleeced and deserted, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Isibili isivuno sikhulu, kodwa izisebenzi zinlutshwana;
Then He says to His disciples, The harvest truly is great and the laborers are few;
38 ngakho ncengani iNkosi yesivuno, ukuze ithume izisebenzi esivunweni sayo.
therefore pray the Lord of the harvest that he may send forth laborers into His harvest.
