UMakho 3
1 Ngesinye isikhathi uJesu wangena esinagogweni, kukhona lapho indoda elesandla esitshwabheneyo.
And again, he entered into the synagogue. And there was a man there who had a withered hand.
2 Abanye babo babedinga izaba lokubeka uJesu icala, yikho bamlinda ukubona ingabe wayezasilisa ngeSabatha.
And they observed him, to see if he would cure on the Sabbaths, so that they might accuse him.
3 UJesu wathi endodeni yesandla esitshwabheneyo, “Sukuma ume phambi kwabo bonke.”
And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Stand up in the middle.”
4 UJesu wasebabuza wathi, “Kuyini okusemthethweni ngeSabatha; ukwenza okuhle loba ukwenza okubi, ukusindisa impilo kumbe ukubulala?” Kodwa bathula zwi.
And he said to them: “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbaths, or to do evil, to give health to a life, or to destroy?” But they remained silent.
5 Wabakhangela ngolaka, ehlutshwa yibuqholo bezinhliziyo zabo, wasesithi kuleyondoda, “Yelula isandla sakho.” Yaselula, isandla sesilunge saphelela.
And looking around at them with anger, being very saddened over the blindness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it, and his hand was restored to him.
6 AbaFarisi basebephuma bayacebisana lamaHerodiya ukuthi bangambulala njani uJesu.
Then the Pharisees, going out, immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, as to how they might destroy him.
7 UJesu wasuka labafundi bakhe baya ngasechibini, ixuku elikhulu labalandela lisuka eGalile.
But Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. And a great crowd followed him from Galilee and 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 across the Jordan. And those around Tyre and Sidon, upon hearing what he was doing, came to him in a great multitude.
9 Ngenxa yobunengi babantu watshela abafundi bakhe ukuba bamlungisele isikepe esincane ukuze angaminyezelwa ngabantu.
And he told his disciples that a small boat would be useful to him, because of the crowd, lest they press upon him.
10 Phela wayesesilise abanengi, yikho labo ababelezifo babeminyezela befuna ukumthinta.
For he healed so many, that as many of them as had wounds would rush toward him in order to touch him.
11 Kwakusithi imimoya emibi ingambona iguqe phambi kwakhe imemeze ithi, “UyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.”
And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell prostrate before him. And they cried out, saying,
12 Kodwa wayiqonqosela ukuthi ingaze yakhuluma ukuthi ungubani.
“You are the Son of God.” And he strongly admonished them, lest they make him known.
13 UJesu wakhwela waya ewatheni lwentaba wabiza labo ayebafuna, beza kuye.
And ascending onto a mountain, he called to himself those whom he willed, and they came to him.
14 Wakhetha abalitshumi lambili ukuthi babelaye ukuze abathume ukuyatshumayela
And he acted so that the twelve would be with him, and so that he might send them out to preach.
15 lokuthi babelamandla okuxotsha amadimoni.
And he gave them authority to cure infirmities, and to cast out demons:
16 Yilaba abalitshumi lambili abakhethayo: uSimoni (ametha ibizo wathi nguPhethro),
and he imposed on Simon the name Peter;
17 uJakhobe indodana kaZebhediya lomfowabo uJohane (laba wabetha ibizo wathi bango Bhowanegesi, okutsho ukuthi Amadodana Omdumo),
and also he imposed on James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, the name ‘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 Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
19 loJudasi Iskariyothi onguye owamnikelayo.
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
20 UJesu wangena kwenye indlu kwaphinda njalo kwabuthana kuye ixuku, yena labafundi bakhe baze behluleka ukudla.
And they went to a house, and the crowd gathered together again, so much so that they were not even able to eat bread.
21 Kwathi abendlu yangakwabo bekuzwa lokho bamlanda ukuyambuyisa ngoba bathi, “usephambene.”
And when his own had heard of it, they went out to take hold of him. For they said: “Because he has gone mad.”
22 Kwathi abafundi bomthetho abehla bevela eJerusalema bathi, “Ungenwe nguBhelizebhubhi! Ukhupha amadimoni ngenkosi yamadimoni.”
And the scribes who had descended from Jerusalem said, “Because he has Beelzebub, and because by the prince of demons does he cast out demons.”
23 Ngakho uJesu wasebabiza wakhuluma labo ngemizekeliso wathi, “Kambe uSathane angamkhupha kanjani uSathane?
And having called them together, he spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 Nxa umbuso udabuke phakathi, uvukelana, lowombuso ngeke ume.
For if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.
25 Nxa indlu ingabambananga, ivukelana, leyondlu ngeke ime.
And if a house is divided against itself, that house is not able to stand.
26 Njalo nxa uSathane eziphikisa, edabuke phakathi, ngeke ame; useyatshabalala.
And if Satan has risen up against himself, he would be divided, and he would not be able to stand; instead he reaches the end.
27 Ngempela, akakho ongangena endlini yesiqhwaga, abuthe impahla zaso ngaphandle kokuthi aqale asibophe lesosiqhwaga, andubana aphange indlu yaso.
No one is able to plunder the goods of a strong man, having entered into the house, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he shall plunder his house.
28 Ngeqiniso ngithi kini, abantu bazakuthethelelwa zonke izono lokuhlambaza kwabo,
Amen I say to you, that all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies by which they will have blasphemed.
30 Wakutsho lokhu ngoba babesithi, “Ulomoya omubi.”
For they said: “He has an unclean spirit.”
31 Kwasekufika unina kaJesu labafowabo. Bema phandle bathuma omunye umuntu ukuyambiza.
And his mother and brothers arrived. And standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
32 Abantu abanengi babehlezi bemhanqile, basebemtshela bathi, “Unyoko labafowenu baphandle bayakudinga.”
And the crowd was sitting around him. And they said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you.”
33 Wabuza wathi, “Ngobani abangumama labafowethu na?”
And responding to them, he said, “Who is my mother and my brothers?”
34 Wasekhangela labo ababehlezi laye bemhanqile wathi, “Nampa abangumama labangabafowethu!
And looking around at those who were sitting all around him, he said: “Behold, my mother and my brothers.
35 Loba ngubani owenza intando kaNkulunkulu ungumfowethu, ungudadewethu njalo ngumama.”
For whoever has done the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister and mother.”
