Mark 1
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Ukuqala kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu;
2 As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:
njengokulotshiweyo kubaprofethiukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’”
Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani izindledlana zayo.
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
Kweza uJohane ebhabhathiza enkangala, etshumayela ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono,
5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
njalo kwaphumela kuye ilizwe lonke leJudiya, labo abeJerusalema, basebebhabhathizwa bonke nguye emfuleni iJordani, bevuma izono zabo.
6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
Futhi uJohane wayembethe uboya bekamela, elozwezwe lwesikhumba ekhalweni lwakhe, wayesidla intethe loluju lweganga.
7 He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
Watshumayela, esithi: Olamandla kulami uyeza emva kwami, engingafanele ukukhothama ngithukulule umchilo wamanyathela akhe.
8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
Mina isibili ngilibhabhathize ngamanzi; kodwa yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
9 In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku kwafika uJesu evela eNazaretha yeGalili, wabhabhathizwa nguJohane eJordani.
10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
Wenela ukukhuphuka emanzini, wabona amazulu eqhekezeka, loMoya kungathi lijuba esehlela phezu kwakhe;
11 A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
kwasekusiza ilizwi livela emazulwini, lathi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo.
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
Njalo uMoya wahle wamqhubela enkangala.
13 He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
Wayekhona-ke lapho enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane, wayelezilo, ingilosi zasezimnceda.
14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
Kwathi emva kokunikelwa kukaJohane, uJesu wafika eGalili, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu,
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
njalo esithi: Isikhathi sigcwalisekile, njalo umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele; phendukani, likholwe ivangeli.
16 Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
Kwathi ehambahamba elwandle lweGalili wabona uSimoni loAndreya umfowabo, bephosela imbule olwandle; ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.
17 Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngilandelani, ngizalenza libe ngabagoli babantu.
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
Njalo bahle batshiya amambule abo, bamlandela.
19 Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
Eseqhubeke ibangana esuka lapho, wabona uJakobe okaZebediya, loJohane umfowabo, labo babesemkhunjini belungisa amambule abo.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
Njalo wahle wababiza; basebetshiya uyise uZebediya emkhunjini leziqhatshwa, basuka bamlandela.
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
Basebengena eKapenawume; kwathi ngesabatha wahle wangena esinagogeni, wafundisa.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
Basebebabaza ngemfundiso yakhe; ngoba wabafundisa njengolamandla, njalo kungenjengababhali.
23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
Futhi kwakukhona esinagogeni labo umuntu owayelomoya ongcolileyo, wasememeza,
24 saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
wathi: Yekela, silani lawe, Jesu weNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa yini? Ngiyakwazi wena ukuthi ungubani: ONgcwele kaNkulunkulu.
25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
UJesu wasemkhuza, wathi: Thula, uphume kuye.
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
Futhi umoya ongcolileyo emhlukuluza ekhala ngelizwi elikhulu, waphuma kuye.
27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
Basebemangala bonke, baze babuzana, bathi: Kuyini lokhu? Yimfundiso bani entsha le, ukuthi ngamandla uyalaya labomoya abangcolileyo, futhi bamlalele.
28 The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
Njalo yahle yaphuma indumela yakhe esigabeni sonke seGalili esizingelezeleyo.
29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Njalo bahle baphuma esinagogeni, bangena endlini kaSimoni loAndreya, kanye loJakobe loJohane.
30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
Futhi uninazala kaSimoni wayelele eloqhuqho, njalo bahle bamtshela ngaye;
31 He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.
wasesondela, wabamba isandla sakhe wamvusa; futhi uqhuqho lwahle lwamyekela, wabasebenzela.
32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
Kwathi sekuhlwile, ilanga selitshona, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo lababengenwe ngamadimoni;
33 All the city was gathered together at the door.
njalo umuzi wonke wawubuthene emnyango.
34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Wasesilisa abanengi ababegula izifo ezitshiyeneyo, wakhupha amadimoni amanengi, kodwa kavumelanga amadimoni ukuthi akhulume, ngoba ayemazi.
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
Njalo ekuseni kusesemnyama kakhulu wavuka waphuma, waya endaweni eyinkangala, wakhuleka khona.
36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
USimoni lababelaye basebemdingisisa;
37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
sebemtholile bathi kuye: Bonke bayakudinga.
38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
Wasesithi kubo: Asiye emizini eseduze, ukuze ngitshumayele lakhona; ngoba ngiphumele lokhu.
39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
Wasetshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke eleGalili, ekhupha amadimoni.
40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
Kwasekufika kuye umlephero, emncenga eguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, esithi kuye: Aluba uthanda, ungangihlambulula.
41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
UJesu wasesiba lesihelo, welula isandla, wamthinta, wathi kuye: Ngiyathanda, hlambuluka;
42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
esekhulumile bahle basuka ubulephero kuye, wahlanjululwa.
43 He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
Wasemlayisisa, wahle wamyekela wahamba,
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
esithi kuye: Khangela ungatsheli muntu ulutho; kodwa hamba, uziveze kumpristi, unikele ngokuhlanjululwa kwakho lokho uMozisi akulayayo, kube yibufakazi kubo.
45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.
Kodwa yena esephumile waqala ukumemezela kakhulu walwandisa udaba, kwaze kwathi wayengaselakho ukungena emzini obala, kodwa wayengaphandle ezindaweni ezizinkangala; beza kuye bevela enhlangothini zonke.
