Mark 1
1 Ukuqala kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu;
2 njengokulotshiweyo kubaprofethi ukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
3 Izwi lomemezayo ehlane, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, nenze imikhondo yayo iqonde.
4 UJohane wabhapathiza ehlane, eshumayela umbhapathizo wokuphenduka kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono.
5 Kwaphumela kuye izwe lonke laseJudiya nabo bonke abaseJerusalema, babhapathizwa nguye emfuleni iJordani, bevuma izono zabo.
6 UJohane wayembethe eyoboya bekamela, enoqhotho lwesikhumba okhalweni lwakhe; wadla izinkumbi nezinyosi zasendle;
7 Washumayela wathi: “Emva kwami kuyeza onamandla kunami, engingafanele ukukhothama ngithukulule umchilo wezicathulo zakhe.
8 Mina nginibhapathize ngamanzi, kepha yena uzakunibhapathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
9 Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku kwafika uJesu evela eNazaretha laseGalile, wabhapathizwa nguJohane eJordani.
10 Wathi ekhuphuka ephuma emanzini, wabona izulu livulekile, noMoya ehlela phezu kwakhe njengejuba.
11 Kwavela izwi ezulwini, lithi: “Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokozile ngayo.
12 Masinyane uMoya wamqhubela ehlane.
13 Wayekhona ehlane izinsuku ezingamashumi amane elingwa nguSathane; futhi wayekanye nezilwane zasendle; izingelosi zamkhonza.
14 Kwathi uJohane esebotshiwe, uJesu wafika eGalili, etshumayela ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu;
15 Wathi: “Isikhathi sigcwalisekile, nombuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele; phendukani, nikholwe ivangeli.
16 Esahamba ngaselwandle lwaseGalile, wabona oSimoni no-Andreya umfowabo kaSimoni bephonsa inetha olwandle, ngokuba babengabadobi.
17 UJesu wathi kubo: “Ngilandeleni, ngiyakunenza nibe ngabadobi babantu.
18 Base bewashiya masinyane amanetha abo, bamlandela.
19 Wathi eqhubeka ingcosana, wabona uJakobe kaZebedewu noJohane umfowabo besemkhunjini belungisa amanetha abo.
20 Wababiza masinyane; base bemshiya uyise uZebedewu emkhunjini kanye nezisebenzi, bamlandela.
21 Bangena eKapernawume; kwathi masinyane ngesabatha wangena esinagogeni, wafundisa.
22 Bamangala ngokufundisa kwakhe, ngokuba wabafundisa njengonegunya, kungenjengababhali.
23 Kwakukhona esinagogeni labo umuntu onomoya ongcolileyo; wakhala.
24 esithi: Ake siyeke; Sinamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu waseNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa na? Ngiyakwazi ukuthi ungubani, ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu.
25 UJesu wamkhuza wathi: “Thula, uphume kuye!
26 Umoya ongcolileyo wamdwengula, wakhala ngezwi elikhulu, waphuma kuye.
27 Basebemangala bonke, baze babuzana besithi: Kuyini lokhu? Iyini imfundiso entsha le? ngoba ngegunya uyala lomoya abangcolileyo, bamlalele.
28 Udumo lwakhe lwanda masinyane kuso sonke isifunda saseGalile.
29 Base bephuma esinagogeni bangena masinyane endlini kaSimoni no-Andreya kanye noJakobe noJohane.
30 Kepha umkhwekazi kaSimoni wayelele enomkhuhlane, bahle bamtshela ngaye.
31 Wasondela, wambamba ngesandla, wamsukumisa; umkhuhlane wamyeka masinyane, wabakhonza.
32 Kwathi sekuhlwile, ilanga selishonile, baletha kuye bonke ababegula nababekhwelwe ngamademoni.
33 Umuzi wonke wawubuthene ngasemnyango.
34 Waphulukisa abaningi ababephethwe yizifo ngezifo, wakhipha amademoni amaningi; njalo wayengawavumeli amadimoni ukuthi akhulume, ngoba ayemazi.
35 Ekuseni kusesekuseni kakhulu, wavuka waphuma, waya endaweni eyihlane, wakhuleka khona.
36 USimoni nababe naye bamlandela.
37 Sebemtholile bathi kuye: Bonke bayakufuna.
38 Wathi kubo: “Asihambe siye emizini eseduze, ukuze ngishumayele nakhona, ngokuba ngiphumele lokho.
39 Wayeseshumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke iGalile, ekhipha amademoni.
40 Kwasekusiza kuye onochoko, emncenga, eguqa phambi kwakhe, esithi kuye: Uba uthanda, ungangihlambulula.
41 UJesu waba nesihe, welula isandla, wamphatha, wathi kuye: “Ngiyathanda; hlambuluka.
42 Esakhuluma, basuka masinyane uchoko kuye, wahlanjululwa.
43 Waseyilaya kakhulu, wayimukisa masinyane;
44 Wathi kuye: “Bheka, ungatsheli muntu lutho;
45 Kepha yena waphuma, waqala ukumemezela kakhulu nokuyidalula leyondaba, kwaze kwaba yilapho uJesu engasenakukwazi ukungena emzini obala, kodwa waba ngaphandle ezindaweni eziyihlane;
