UMakho 3
1 Ngesinye isikhathi uJesu wangena esinagogweni, kukhona lapho indoda elesandla esitshwabheneyo.
And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered,
2 Abanye babo babedinga izaba lokubeka uJesu icala, yikho bamlinda ukubona ingabe wayezasilisa ngeSabatha.
and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.
3 UJesu wathi endodeni yesandla esitshwabheneyo, “Sukuma ume phambi kwabo bonke.”
And he saith to the man having the hand withered, 'Rise up in the midst.'
4 UJesu wasebabuza wathi, “Kuyini okusemthethweni ngeSabatha; ukwenza okuhle loba ukwenza okubi, ukusindisa impilo kumbe ukubulala?” Kodwa bathula zwi.
And he saith to them, 'Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent.
5 Wabakhangela ngolaka, ehlutshwa yibuqholo bezinhliziyo zabo, wasesithi kuleyondoda, “Yelula isandla sakho.” Yaselula, isandla sesilunge saphelela.
And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, 'Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
6 AbaFarisi basebephuma bayacebisana lamaHerodiya ukuthi bangambulala njani uJesu.
and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.
7 UJesu wasuka labafundi bakhe baya ngasechibini, ixuku elikhulu labalandela lisuka eGalile.
And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,
8 Bathi ngokuzwa konke ayekwenza abantu abanengi beza kuye besuka eJudiya, eJerusalema, e-Idumiya lemimangweni engaphetsheya kweJodani lezindaweni zeThire leSidoni.
and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon — a great multitude — having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him.
9 Ngenxa yobunengi babantu watshela abafundi bakhe ukuba bamlungisele isikepe esincane ukuze angaminyezelwa ngabantu.
And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,
10 Phela wayesesilise abanengi, yikho labo ababelezifo babeminyezela befuna ukumthinta.
for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him — as many as had plagues;
11 Kwakusithi imimoya emibi ingambona iguqe phambi kwakhe imemeze ithi, “UyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.”
and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying — 'Thou art the Son of God;'
12 Kodwa wayiqonqosela ukuthi ingaze yakhuluma ukuthi ungubani.
and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.
13 UJesu wakhwela waya ewatheni lwentaba wabiza labo ayebafuna, beza kuye.
And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;
14 Wakhetha abalitshumi lambili ukuthi babelaye ukuze abathume ukuyatshumayela
and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach,
15 lokuthi babelamandla okuxotsha amadimoni.
and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons.
16 Yilaba abalitshumi lambili abakhethayo: uSimoni (ametha ibizo wathi nguPhethro),
And he put on Simon the name Peter;
17 uJakhobe indodana kaZebhediya lomfowabo uJohane (laba wabetha ibizo wathi bango Bhowanegesi, okutsho ukuthi Amadodana Omdumo),
and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names — Boanerges, that is, 'Sons of thunder;'
18 u-Andreya, uFiliphu, uBhatholomewu, uMatewu, uThomasi, uJakhobe indodana ka-Alifewu, uThediyasi, uSimoni umZilothi
and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,
19 loJudasi Iskariyothi onguye owamnikelayo.
and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.
20 UJesu wangena kwenye indlu kwaphinda njalo kwabuthana kuye ixuku, yena labafundi bakhe baze behluleka ukudla.
And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread;
21 Kwathi abendlu yangakwabo bekuzwa lokho bamlanda ukuyambuyisa ngoba bathi, “usephambene.”
and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,
22 Kwathi abafundi bomthetho abehla bevela eJerusalema bathi, “Ungenwe nguBhelizebhubhi! Ukhupha amadimoni ngenkosi yamadimoni.”
and the scribes who [are] from Jerusalem having come down, said — 'He hath Beelzeboul,' and — 'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'
23 Ngakho uJesu wasebabiza wakhuluma labo ngemizekeliso wathi, “Kambe uSathane angamkhupha kanjani uSathane?
And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, 'How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?
24 Nxa umbuso udabuke phakathi, uvukelana, lowombuso ngeke ume.
and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;
25 Nxa indlu ingabambananga, ivukelana, leyondlu ngeke ime.
and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand;
26 Njalo nxa uSathane eziphikisa, edabuke phakathi, ngeke ame; useyatshabalala.
and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.
27 Ngempela, akakho ongangena endlini yesiqhwaga, abuthe impahla zaso ngaphandle kokuthi aqale asibophe lesosiqhwaga, andubana aphange indlu yaso.
'No one is able the vessels of the strong man — having entered into his house — to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.
28 Ngeqiniso ngithi kini, abantu bazakuthethelelwa zonke izono lokuhlambaza kwabo,
'Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,
30 Wakutsho lokhu ngoba babesithi, “Ulomoya omubi.”
because they said, 'He hath an unclean spirit.'
31 Kwasekufika unina kaJesu labafowabo. Bema phandle bathuma omunye umuntu ukuyambiza.
Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him,
32 Abantu abanengi babehlezi bemhanqile, basebemtshela bathi, “Unyoko labafowenu baphandle bayakudinga.”
and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, 'Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.'
33 Wabuza wathi, “Ngobani abangumama labafowethu na?”
And he answered them, saying, 'Who is my mother, or my brethren?'
34 Wasekhangela labo ababehlezi laye bemhanqile wathi, “Nampa abangumama labangabafowethu!
And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, 'Lo, my mother and my brethren!
35 Loba ngubani owenza intando kaNkulunkulu ungumfowethu, ungudadewethu njalo ngumama.”
for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'
