UMARKO 1

UYohane umbhaptizi

1Naku ukusungulwa kweendaba ezimnandi ezingoYesu Krestu, uNyana kaThixo. 2Kunjengoko umshumayeli uIsaya walithethayo ilizwi likaThixo esithi:

“Naso isigidimi sam esiya kukwandulela

sikugabulele izigcawu.

3Kuvakala ilizwi lodandulukayo entlango, lisithi:

‘Yilungiseleleni indlela iNkosi,

niyihlahlele umgaqo wayo.’

4Entlango ke kwabonakala uYohane ebhaptiza, eshumayela ukuba abantu mabaguquke babhaptizwe, aze uThixo abaxolele izono zabo. 5Babephuma besiya kuye bonke abakwaJuda nabaseJerusalem, bezixela izono zabo, aze ababhaptize emlanjeni iJordan.

6UYohane wayesambatha ingubo yoboya benkamela, abhinqe ngethwathwa. Wayesitya iinkumbi nobusi. 7Wayeshumayela esithi: “Lowo uza emva kwam unamandla kunam. Bendingubani mna kakade ukuba ndingade ndikhulule imitya yezihlangu zakhe? 8Mna okunene ndinibhaptiza ngamanzi, kodwa yena uya kunibhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.”

Ukubhaptizwa kukaYesu nokulingwa kwakhe

9Ngaloo mihla ke weza uYesu, evela eNazarete kwelaseGalili, wabhaptizwa nguYohane eJordan apho. 10Kuthe kwangoko, akuphuma uYesu emanzini, izulu lavuleka, wabona uMoya oyiNgcwele esihla phezu kwakhe njengehobe. 11Kwavakala nelizwi elivela ezulwini, lisithi: “UnguNyana wam endimthandayo wena; ndikholisiwe nguwe.”

12Kwangoko uMoya oyiNgcwele wamqhubela entlango uYesu. 13Waba lapho entlango iintsuku ezimashumi mane, elingwa nguSathana, ephakathi kwezilo zasendle. Izithunywa zezulu ke zazimlungiselela kwiintswelo zakhe.

Ukubizwa kwabafundi bokuqala

14Emva kokubanjwa kukaYohane, uYesu waya eGalili, evakalisa iindaba ezimnandi ezivela kuThixo, 15esithi: “Lifikile ngoku ixesha. Luthwasile ulawulo lukaThixo. Guqukani, nikholwe kuzo ezi ndaba zimnandi.”

16Ke kaloku kwathi ehamba ngakuLwandle lwaseGalili, wabona uSimon noAndreya umninawe wakhe bephosa umnatha elwandle. Kaloku bona babengabalobi beentlanzi. 17UYesu wathi kubo: “Yizani apha nindilandele; ndonenza nibe ngabalobi babantu.” 18Bayishiya kwangoko ke iminatha yabo, bamlandela.

19Uthe ke, ehambele phambili kancinane, wabona uYakobi noYohane umninawe wakhe, oonyana bakaZebhedi, besesikhitshaneni sabo, belungisa iminatha yabo. 20Wababiza, baza ke bamshiya uyise uZebhedi esikhitshaneni apho enabaqeshwa, balandela uYesu.

Ukuphiliswa komntu onendimoni

21Bangena ke kwidolophu yaseKapernahum, waza ke uYesu *ngoMhla wokuqala wokuPhumla wafundisa *endlwini yesikhungo. 22Bamangaliswa abantu kukufundisa kwakhe, kuba wayefundisa ngegunya, engafundisi njengabachazi-mthetho.

23Kwakukho umntu onendimoni endlwini yesikhungo apho, owayekhala esithi: 24“Ufuna ntoni kuthi, Yesu waseNazarete? Ngaba uze kusitshabalalisa na? Ndiyakwazi ukuba ungubani na: ungoyiNgcwele kaThixo!”

25UYesu wayikhalimela loo ndimoni, esithi: “Yithi tu, uphume kulo mntu!”

26Ke indimoni leyo yamxhuzula loo mntu, yaphuma kuye ibhomboloza. 27Bamangaliswa bonke abantu, babuzana besithi: “Yaz'ba yintoni na le nto! Ngaba yimfundiso entsha? Ngathi lo mfo ufundisa ngegunya! Ewe, neendimoni ezi uyazikhalimela zimthobele!”

28Lwathi ke udumo lukaYesu lwavakala kulo lonke elaseGalili.

Ukuphiliswa kwabaninzi

29Baphuma ke *endlwini yesikhungo, kwangoko baya kwindlu kaSimon noAndreya, benoYakobi noYohane. 30Ke umkhwekazi kaSimon wayelele, egula yifiva, baza bamxelela uYesu ukuba akaphilanga. 31Waya kuye uYesu, wamphakamisa embambe ngesandla; yaphela kwangoko loo fiva, waza wabalungiselela ukutya.

32Kwathi ke ngokuhlwa, selitshonile ilanga, abantu bazisa kuye bonke abagulayo nabaneendimoni. 33Bonke abantu baloo dolophu babehlanganisene ngasemnyango apho. 34UYesu ke waphilisa abaninzi abagula zizifo ngezifo, ekhupha neendimoni. Iindimoni ezi wayengazivumeli ukuba zithethe, kuba zazimazi.

Ukuthandaza nokushumayela kukaYesu eGalili

35Kwathi kusesekuseni kakhulu, kusemnyama, wavuka uYesu, waya kuthandaza ngasese. 36USimon nâbo babenaye baya kumfuna. 37Bakuba bemfumene, bathi kuye: “Uyafunwa ngumntu wonke.”

38Kambe ke yena wathi kubo: “Masihambe siye kwezinye iidolophu zalapha, ukuze nakhona ndizivakalise iindaba ezimnandi. Kaloku ndizele kanye loo nto.”

39Walityhutyha lonke elaseGalili, eshumayela *ezindlwini zesikhungo, ekhupha iindimoni.

Ukuphiliswa koneqhenqa

40Kwasuka mntu uthile uneqhenqa weza kuYesu, wambongoza eguqe phambi kwakhe, wathi: “Unako ukundihlambulula ukuba uyathanda.”

41UYesu wavelana naye, wasolula isandla, wamchukumisa, wathi kuye: “Ndiyathanda; hlambuluka.” 42Kwangoko laphela iqhenqa, wahlambuluka. 43Akuba emyale kabukhali, wamndulula kwangoko, 44esithi kuye: “Lumka ungaxeleli bani nento le. Hamba uye kuzibonisa kumbingeleli, wenze umnikelo ngezo zinto wazimiselayo uMosis, ube bubungqina ngokuhlanjululwa kwakho.”

45Kodwa yena akuphuma, wasuka wayibhengeza kakhulu le nto. Ngenxa yoko uYesu akabanga saba nako ukungena edolophini ebonwa ngabantu, koko wahlala emaphandleni. Abantu ke babesiza kuye, bevela macala onke.

UMARKO 2

Ukuphiliswa kofe umzimba

(Mat 9:1-8; Luka 5:17-26)

1Kwakuba ntsuku, uYesu wabuyela eKapernahum; kwavakala ukuba usekhayeni lakhe. 2Ke kwahlanganisana into eninzi yabantu, kwada akwabikho ndawo nangasemnyango.

Kwathi ke xa uYesu wayesashumayela, 3kwafika abantu, bezise kuye umntu ofe umzimba, ethwelwe ngabané. 4Bakuba bengenakusondela kuYesu ngenxa yokuxinana kwendimbane, baqhaqhe uphahla ngakuloo ndawo wayekuyo. Begqobhozile ke, bamhlisa ngokhuko lowo ufe umzimba. 5UYesu akulubona ukholo lwabo, wathi kofe umzimba: “Nyana, izono zakho zixolelwe.”

6Abachazi-mthetho abathile, ababekhona, bathi ezintliziyweni zabo: 7“Yini na ukuba lo athethe ngolu hlobo? Uyanyelisa! Ngubani onako ukuxolela izono ingenguye uThixo kuphela?”

8Kwangoko uYesu wazazi iingcamango zabo, wathi kubo: “Yini na ukuba nibe nezi ngcamango ezintliziyweni zenu? 9Okukona kulula kukuphi na? Kukho ukuthi kofe umzimba: ‘Izono zakho zixolelwe,’ kukho nokuthi: ‘Vuka, uthathe ukhuko lwakho uhambe’? 10Ke ukuze nazi ukuba *uNyana woLuntu unalo igunya lokuxolela izono emhlabeni apha – úthi kofe umzimba – 11ndithi kuwe: ‘Vuka, uthathe ukhuko lwakho, uhambe ugoduke.’ ”

12Wavuka kwangoko ke, wathatha ukhuko, wemka. Bamangaliswa bonke, bemdumisa uThixo, besithi: “Asizange siyibone into enje!”

Ukubizwa kukaLevi

(Mat 9:9-13; Luka 5:27-32)

13UYesu wabuya waphuma waya ngaselwandle. Kwaza ke kwahlanganisana isihlwele ngakuye, wasifundisa. 14Wathi edlula wabona uLevi, unyana ka-Alifeyu, ehleli eofisini yerhafu; wathi kuye: “Ndilandele.” Waphakama ke, wamlandela.

15Kwathi, xa wayesitya kwaLevi, kwakho nento eninzi yabaqokeleli-rhafu *naboni, isitya ndawonye noYesu nabafundi bakhe, kuba babebaninzi, bemlandela. 16Ke abachazi-mthetho beqela *labaFarasi, bakumbona esitya kunye nabaqokeleli-rhafu naboni, bathi kubafundi bakhe: “Yini na ukuba atye kunye nabaqokeleli-rhafu naboni?”

17Ekuvile oko uYesu, wathi kubo: “Ugqirha akafuneki nganto kwabaphilileyo, ufuneka kwabagulayo. Andizanga kubiza malungisa, ndizé kubiza aboni.”

Ukuzila ukutya

(Mat 9:14-17; Luka 5:33-39)

18Abafundi bakaYohane *nabaFarasi babezila ukutya. Ke abantu beza kuYesu, bathi kuye: “Kutheni abafundi bakaYohane nababaFarasi besoloko bezila ukutya nje, kanti bona abakho abazili?”

19UYesu ke wathi kubo: “Ngaba abakhaphi bomyeni bangakuzila na ukutya lo gama umyeni asekunye nabo? Nakanye! Ngalo lonke ixesha asephakathi kwabo umyeni, abangekhe bakuzile! 20Kodwa lofika ixesha lokuba umyeni asuswe kubo, bandule ke ukuzila.

21“Kaloku akukho mntu uthungela isiziba esitsha kwisambatho esidala, kuba ukuba uthe wenjenjalo, sofinyela, sisikrazule ngakumbi isambatho eso. 22Kananjalo akukho mntu uyitha kwiimvaba ezindala iwayini entsha engekabili, kuba ukuba uthe wenjenjalo, zogqabhuka ziphele iimvaba, ichitheke iwayini. Kaloku iwayini engekabili ithiwa kwiimvaba ezintsha.”

Imfundiso kaYesu malunga noMhla woPhumlo

(Mat 12:1-8; Luka 6:1-5)

23Kwathi uYesu ecanda emasimini *ngoMhla wokuPhumla, abafundi bakhe basuka bakha izikhwebu zengqolowa. 24Bathi ke kuye *abaFarasi: “Khawutsho, kungani na ukuba abafundi bakho benze okungavumelekanga ngoMhla woPhumlo?”

25Uthe ke yena kubo: “Anizange nikufunde na awakwenzayo uDavide, mhla walamba engenanto ityiwayo, yena neqela lakhe? 26Kaloku wangena endlwini kaThixo ngemihla ka-Abhiyatare umbingeleli omkhulu, wazitya izonka ezazinikelwe kuThixo, wanika neqela lakhe. Kanti ngokomthetho ezi zonka azimelwe kutyiwa ngabangengobabingeleli.

27Waza wathi ke kubo: “UMhla woPhumlo lo wabakho ngenxa yomntu, asinguye umntu owabakho ngenxa yawo. 28Ngoko ke uNyana woLuntu uyiNkosi yawo noMhla woPhumlo.”

UMARKO 3

Ukuphiliswa kowome isandla

1Waphinda uYesu wangena *endlwini yesikhungo. Apho kwakukho umntu owayome isandla. 2Babemlalele ke befuna ukubona ukuba womphilisa na *ngoMhla woPhumlo, ukuze bammangalele. 3UYesu wathi kuloo mntu wayome isandla: “Phakama, uze ngaphambili.” 4Waza wathi kubo: “Okuvumelekileyo ngoMhla woPhumlo kukwenza okulungileyo, kukwenza okubi; kukuphilisa, kukubulala; kusini na?”

Kwathi cwaka. 5Akuba ebasingasingile, ebuhlungu ngenxa yokuqaqadeka kweentliziyo zabo, wathi kumntu lowo: “Solule isandla sakho.” Wasolula, saza saphila isandla sakhe. 6Kwangoko ke baphuma *abaFarasi, baya kubhunga *namaHerode, becebisana ngokubulala uYesu.

Inkitha yabantu ngaselwandle

7Wemka uYesu, enabafundi bakhe, waya elwandle. Yamlandela inkitha yabantu, ivela kwelaseGalili, nakwelakwaJuda, 8naseJerusalem, nase-Edom, naphesheya kweJordan, nakwimimandla yeTire neSidon. Loo nkitha ininzi yeza kuYesu, kuba yayivile ngemimangaliso yakhe. 9Wathi kubafundi bakhe mabamlungiselele isikhitshana, hleze axinwe sisihlwele, 10kuba wayephilise abantu abaninzi, baza bonke abanezifo bathi ngunga phezu kwakhe, ukuze bamchukumise. 11Naxa sukuba abantu abaneendimoni bembona, babesiwa phambi kwakhe, bakhale, besithi: “Unguye wena uNyana kaThixo!”

12Wayebakhalimela kakhulu ke ukuba bangamazisi ebantwini.

Ukumiselwa kwabafundi abalishumi elinambini

13UYesu ke wenyuka intaba, wabiza abo wayefuna bamlandele. Baya kuye ke, 14waza wamisela abalishumi elinambini awababiza ngokuba *ngabathunywa, ebamisela ukuba babe kunye naye nokuba abathume baye kushumayela, 15ebanike igunya lokukhupha iindimoni.

16Wamisela aba ke: uSimon, awamthiya igama elinguPetros; 17uYakobi, unyana kaZebhedi, noYohane umninawe wakhe, awathi bona wabathiya amagama okuba ngooBhowanerges, oko kukuthi ngooSatsha; 18uAndreya noFilipu, noBhartolomeyu, noMatewu, noTomas, noYakobi unyana ka-Alifeyu, noTadeyu, noSimon owayengoweqela lamaTsha-ntliziyo, 19noJudas Sikariyoti, owayeza kumngcatsha.

Ukunyelisa kwabachazi-mthetho

20UYesu ke wangena endlwini, kwaza kwakhona kwabuthelana isihlwele. Kwakuxinene kangangokuba yena nabafundi bakhe bangabi nako nokutya oku. 21Bevile ngale nto, abakowabo baphuma besiya kumphuthuma, kuba kwakusithiwa: “Ushiywe ziingqondo.”

22Ke abachazi-mthetho ababevela eJerusalem babesithi unoSathana, besithi iindimoni ezi uzikhupha ngomphathi wazo. 23Ebabizele kuye abantu, uthethe nabo ezekelisa, esithi: “Angáthini na uSathana ukukhupha uSathana? 24Kaloku isizwe esivukelana sodwa siyachithakala; 25nomzi ovukelana wodwa uyachithakala. 26NoSathana ke, ukuba uvukelana noSathana, uya kuphanza angabikho.

27“Akukho bani unako ukungena endlwini yegorha, aze aphange impahla yalo, engathanga kuqala alibophe elo gorha, aze ke andule ukuyiphanga indlu yalo.

28“Inene, baya kuzixolelwa zonke izono oonyana babantu, kwanezinyeliso abasukuba benyelisa ngazo; 29kodwa yena othe wanyelisa uMoya oyiNgcwele akanako ukuxolelwa naphakade; unetyala lesono esingatshitshiyo.” 30UYesu watsho kuba babesithi unendimoni.

Ezona zizalwana zikaYesu

31Kwafika abantakwabo-Yesu kunye nonina, baza bathi, bemi ngaphandle, bayaleza ukuba makabizwe. 32Wayengqongwe sisihlwele sabantu, kwaza kwakho othi kuye: “Uxolo, nanku unyoko nabantakwenu ngaphandle, bekufuna.”

33Wabaphendula esithi: “Ngubani umama? Ngoobani bona abantakwethu?” 34Ebasingasingile ke abo babemngqongile, wathi: “Nguye lo umama nabantakwethu. 35Kaloku lowo uthe wakwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo nguye ongumntakwethu, nodade wethu, nomama.”
