Mark 9
1 And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
Wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufa, baze babone umbuso kaNkulunkulu usufikile ngamandla.
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.
Emva kwensuku eziyisithupha uJesu wasethatha uPetro loJakobe loJohane, wasebakhuphulela entabeni ende ebehlukanisa bodwa; waseguqulwa isimo phambi kwabo;
3 And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
lezembatho zakhe zacwazimula, zaba mhlophe nke njengeliqhwa elikhithikileyo, kakulamcoli welembu emhlabeni ongazenza zibe mhlophe kangako.
4 And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
Kwasekubonakala kubo uElija eloMozisi, njalo bekhuluma loJesu.
5 And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
UPetro wasephendula wathi kuJesu: Rabi, kuhle ukuthi sibe lapha; futhi asakhe amadumba amathathu, elinye ngelakho, lelinye ngelikaMozisi, lelinye ngelikaElija.
6 For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
Ngoba wayengakwazi angakutsho; ngoba babesesaba kakhulu.
7 And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him.
Kwasekufika iyezi labasibekela; kwaba lelizwi elivela eyezini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; zwanini yona.
8 And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.
Njalo bahle bathalaza, kababe besabona muntu, kodwa uJesu yedwa elabo.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.
Kwathi besehla entabeni, wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu izinto abazibonileyo, ize ivuke kwabafileyo iNdodana yomuntu.
10 And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
Njalo bazigcinela lelilizwi, bebuzana ukuthi kutshoni ukuvuka kwabafileyo.
11 And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
Basebembuza, besithi: Batsholoni ababhali ukuthi uElija ufanele ukufika kuqala?
12 Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.
Wasephendula, wathi kubo: UElija ufika kuqala isibili, abuyisele zonke izinto; njalo kubhalwe njani ngeNdodana yomuntu, ukuthi izahlupheka izinto ezinengi njalo idelelwe.
13 But I say to you, that Elias also is come, (and they have done to him whatsoever they would, ) as it is written of him.
Kodwa ngitsho kini ukuthi uElija laye sewafika, basebesenza kuye konke abakuthandayo, njengokulotshiweyo ngaye.
14 And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
Kwathi efika kubafundi, wabona ixuku elikhulu libahanqile, lababhali bephikisana labo.
15 And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
Lahle lathi ukumbona ixuku lonke laselimangala, lagijimela kuye lambingelela.
16 And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
Wasebabuza ababhali wathi: Liphikisana ngani labo?
17 And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
Omunye wexuku wasephendula wathi: Mfundisi, ngilethe kuwe indodana yami, elomoya oyisimungulu;
18 Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
kuthi loba ngaphi oyibamba khona, uyidabule; ikhihlize amagwebu, igedle amazinyo ayo, yome qha; njalo ngikhulume labafundi bakho ukuthi bawukhuphe, kodwa behluleka.
19 Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
Wasemphendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo, koze kube nini ngilani? Koze kube nini ngilibekezelela? Iletheni kimi.
20 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
Basebeyiletha kuye; kwathi umbona, umoya wahle wayihlukuza; yawela emhlabathini, yazigiqagiqa ikhihliza amagwebu.
21 And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
Wasebuza uyise wathi: Kulesikhathi esingakanani, lokhu kwenzeka kiyo? Wasesithi: Kusukela ebuntwaneni.
22 And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
Futhi uyiphosele kanengi emlilweni lemanzini, ukuze uyibhubhise; kodwa nxa kukhona ongakwenza, sihawukele, usisize.
23 And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
UJesu wasesithi kuye: Nxa usenelisa ukukholwa, zonke izinto ziyenzeka kokholwayo.
24 And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
Njalo uyise womntwana wahle wamemeza ngezinyembezi wathi: Ngiyakholwa, Nkosi, siza ukungakholwa kwami.
25 And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
Kwathi uJesu esebona ukuthi ixuku ligijima kanyekanye ndawonye, wakhuza umoya ongcolileyo, esithi kuwo: Wena moya oyisimungulu loyisacuthe, mina ngiyakulaya: Phuma kuye, ungabe usangena kuye.
26 And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
Usumemezile, wayihlukuza kakhulu, waphuma; yasisiba njengofileyo, kwaze kwathi abanengi bathi isifile.
27 But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
Kodwa uJesu wayibamba ngesandla, wayiphakamisa; yasisukuma.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
Wathi esengenile endlini, abafundi bakhe bambuza bebodwa bathi: Kungani thina sehlulekile ukuwukhupha?
29 And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Wasesithi kubo: Loluhlobo lungeke luphume ngalutho, ngaphandle komkhuleko lokuzila ukudla.
30 And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
Basebesuka lapho badabula eGalili; wayengathandi ukuthi loba ngubani akwazi,
31 And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
ngoba wayefundisa abafundi bakhe, esithi kubo: INdodana yomuntu inikelwa ezandleni zabantu, njalo bazayibulala; kuthi isibulewe, izavuka ngosuku lwesithathu.
32 But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
Kodwa kabaqedisisanga lumutsho, basebesesaba ukumbuza.
33 And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
Wasefika eKapenawume. Kwathi esendlini wababuza wathi: Beliphikisana ngani endleleni?
34 But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
Kodwa bathula; ngoba endleleni babephikisene ngokuthi ngubani omkhulu.
35 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.
Wasehlala phansi wabiza abalitshumi lambili, wathi kubo: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuba ngowokuqala, uzakuba ngowokucina kubo bonke, lesisebenzi sabo bonke.
36 And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
Wasethatha umntwana omncane, wammisa phakathi kwabo; wamgona, wathi kubo:
37 Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
Loba ngubani owemukela omunye wabantwana abancane abanje ebizweni lami, wemukela mina; njalo loba ngubani owemukela mina, kemukeli mina, kodwa yena ongithumileyo.
38 John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.
UJohane wasemphendula, wathi: Mfundisi, sabona omunye ongasilandeliyo ekhupha amadimoni ngebizo lakho; sasesimenqabela, ngoba engasilandeli.
39 But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.
Kodwa uJesu wathi: Lingamenqabeli; ngoba kakho owenza umsebenzi wamandla ebizweni lami, njalo olamandla okukhuluma kubi ngami masinyane;
40 For he that is not against you, is for you.
ngoba ongamelani lathi, ungowethu.
41 For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
Ngoba loba ngubani ozalinathisa inkezo yamanzi ngebizo lami, ngoba lingabakaKristu, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kasoze alahlekelwa ngumvuzo wakhe.
42 And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Futhi loba ngubani okhubekisa omunye walaba abancinyane abakholwa kimi, kungcono kuye ukuthi ilitshe lokuchola ligaxwe entanyeni yakhe, abesephoselwa olwandle.
43 And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire: (Geenna g1067)
Njalo uba isandla sakho sikukhubekisa, siqume; kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni uyingini, kulokuthi ulezandla ezimbili usuke uye esihogweni, emlilweni ongacitshekiyo, (Geenna g1067)
44 Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
lapho impethu yabo engafi khona, lomlilo ongacitshi khona.
45 And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire: (Geenna g1067)
Njalo uba unyawo lwakho lukukhubekisa, luqume; kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni uyisiqhwala, kulokuthi ulenyawo ezimbili uphoselwe esihogweni, emlilweni ongacitshekiyo, (Geenna g1067)
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
lapho impethu yabo engafi khona, lomlilo ongacitshi khona.
47 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire: (Geenna g1067)
Njalo uba ilihlo lakho likukhubekisa, likhuphe; kungcono kuwe ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu ulelihlo elilodwa, kulokuthi ulamehlo amabili uphoselwe esihogweni somlilo, (Geenna g1067)
48 Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
lapho impethu yabo engafi khona, lomlilo ongacitshi khona.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
Ngoba wonke uzatshwaywa ngomlilo; njalo wonke umhlatshelo uzatshwaywa ngetshwayi.
50 Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
Itshwayi lihle; kodwa uba itshwayi lingelabutshwayi, lizalivuselela ngani? Banini letshwayi phakathi kwenu, njalo lihlalisane ngokuthula.
