UMakho 1 - iBhayibhili Elingcwele 1978Ukufika kukaJesu Kristu kuyamenyezelwa nguJohane uMbhaphathizi ( Mat 3:1–12 ; Luka 3:1–17 ) 1 Nanku ukuqala kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. 2 Njengokulotshiweyo kumprofethi uIsaya ukuthi: Khangela, ngiyasithuma isithunywa sami phambi kwakho esizakulungisa indlela yakho, 3 ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, qondisani indledlana zayo. 4 Kwafika uJohane uMbhaphathizi enkangala, etshumayela ubhaphathizo lokuphenduka, kube yikuthethelelwa kwezono. 5 Kwaphumela kuye ilizwe lonke laseJudiya labo bonke abaseJerusalema, babhaphathizwa nguye emfuleni iJordani bevuma izono zabo. 6 UJohane wayembethe ingubo yoboya bekamela, elozwezwe okhalweni lwakhe, wayesidla intethe lenyosi zeganga. 7 Watshumayela esithi: Olamandla kulami uyeza emva kwami. Kangifanele ukukhothama ngithukulule imichilo yamanyathelo akhe. 8 Mina ngilibhaphathize ngamanzi, kodwa yena uzakulibhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele. Ukubhaphathizwa kukaJesu ( Mat 3:13–17 ; Luka 3:21–22 ) 9 Ngalezonsuku kwafika uJesu evela eNazaretha elaseGalili, wabhaphathizwa nguJohane eJordani. 10 Wanela ukukhuphuka emanzini, wabona izulu liqhekezeka, loMoya kungathi lijuba wehlela phezu kwakhe. 11 Kwezwakala ilizwi livela ezulwini, lathi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; ngithokozile ngawe. Ukulingwa kukaJesu ( Mat 4:1–11 ; Luka 4:1–13 ) 12 Masinyane uMoya wamqhubela enkangala. 13 Wayekhona enkangala insuku ezingamatshumi amane elingwa nguSathane; wayendawonye lezilo; izithunywa zamkhonza. UJesu uqala ukutshumayela ( Mat 4:17 ; Luka 4:14–15 ) 14 Emva kokubotshwa kukaJohane uJesu wafika eGalili etshumayela ivangeli likaNkulunkulu, 15 wathi: Isikhathi sesiphelele, umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele; phendukani, likholwe ivangeli. Ukubizwa kukaPetro lababelaye ( Mat 4:18–22 ; Luka 5:1–11 ) 16 Kwathi uJesu ehamba ngasolwandle lwaseGalili, wabona oSimoni loAndreya umfowabo kaSimoni bephosa imbule olwandle, ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi. 17 UJesu wathi kubo: Ngilandelani; ngizakulenza libe ngabagoli babantu. 18 Masinyane batshiya amambule abo, bamlandela. 19 Eseqhubeke ingcosana wabona uJakobe indodana kaZebediya loJohane umfowabo besemkolweni, belungisa amambule abo. 20 Wababiza masinyane. Batshiya uyise uZebediya emkolweni lezisebenzi, basuka bamlandela. Ukusiliswa kweziguli eKapenawume ( Luka 4:31–37 ) 21 Bangena eKapenawume. Kwathi masinyane ngeSabatha wangena esinagogeni, wafundisa. 22 Abantu bamangala ngokufundisa kwakhe; ngoba wabafundisa njengolamandla, kungenjengababhali. 23 Kwakukhona esinagogeni labo umuntu owayelomoya omubi, wamemeza, 24 wathi: Silani lawe Jesu waseNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa na? Ngiyakwazi ukuba ungubani: ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu. 25 UJesu wamkhuza wathi: Thula, uphume kuye. 26 Umoya omubi emhlukuza, ekhala ngelizwi elikhulu, waphuma kuye. 27 Bamangala bonke, baze babuzana bathi: Kuyini lokhu? Yikufundisa okutsha! Ngoba ngamandla uyalaya labomoya ababi, bamlalele. 28 Lwahle lwanda udumo lwakhe kulo lonke ilizwe laseGalili. Uninazala kaPetro labanye abagulayo basiliswa ( Mat 8:14–17 ; Luka 4:38–41 ) 29 Sebephumile esinagogeni bangena masinyane endlini kaSimoni loAndreya beloJakobe loJohane. 30 Uninazala kaSimoni wayelele elomkhuhlane; bahle bamtshela ngaye. 31 Waya kuye, wambamba ngesandla wamlulamisa; umkhuhlane wamyekela, wabasebenzela. 32 Sekuhlwile, ilanga selitshonile, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo lababengenwe ngomoya ababi. 33 Umuzi wonke wawubuthene ngasemnyango. 34 Wasilisa abanengi ababegula izifo ngezifo, wakhupha omoya ababi abanengi, kavumelanga omoya ababi ukuthi bakhulume, ngoba babemazi. UJesu uyakhuleka; uyasuka eKapenawume ( Luka 4:42–44 ) 35 Ekuseni kusesemnyama kakhulu, wavuka waphuma, waya endaweni eyinkangala, wakhuleka khona. 36 USimoni lababelaye bamdinga. 37 Sebemfumene bathi kuye: Bonke bayakufuna. 38 Wathi kubo: Asiye kwezinye indawo emizini eseduze ukuze ngitshumayele lakhona, ngoba ngiphumele lokhu. 39 Wahamba etshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke elaseGalili, ekhupha omoya ababi. UJesu usilisa umuntu olobulephero ( Mat 8:1–4 ; Luka 5:12–16 ) 40 Kwafika kuye umuntu olobulephero, waguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, emncenga esithi kuye: Aluba uthanda, ungangihlambulula. 41 UJesu wamhawukela, welula isandla sakhe, wamthinta, wathi: Ngiyathanda; hlambuluka. 42 Bahle basuka ubulephero kuye, wahlambuluka. 43 Wamlayisisa, wamyekela wahamba, 44 esithi kuye: Khangela, ungatsheli muntu, kodwa hamba uziveze kumpristi, unikele okokuhlanjululwa kwakho lokho okwalayelwa nguMose, kube yibufakazi ebantwini. 45 Kodwa yena esephumile waqala ukutshumayela kakhulu wayandisa leyondaba, kwaze kwathi uJesu kabesaba lakho ukungena emzini obala; kodwa wayengaphandle endaweni eziyinkangala; beza kuye bevela inxa zonke. |
