Mark 2
1 Wabuye wangena eKapernawume emva kwezinsuku ezithile; kwezwakala ukuthi usendlini.
2 Kwase kubuthana abaningi, akwabe kusabakho ndawo nangasemnyango; wakhuluma izwi kubo.
3 Beza kuye bethwele umuntu ofe uhlangothi, ephethwe ngabantu abane.
4 Bengenakusondela kuye ngenxa yesixuku baqaqa uphahla lapho ekhona, bathi sebebhobozile behlisa uhlaka alele kulo ofe uhlangothi.
5 UJesu ebona ukukholwa kwabo wathi kofe uhlangothi: “Ndodana, uthethelelwe izono zakho.”
6 Kepha kwakukhona ababhali abathile behlezi khona, bezindla ezinhliziyweni zabo ngokuthi:
7 “Lo ukhulumelani kanje na? Uyahlambalaza. Ngubani ongathethelela izono, kungeyena uNkulunkulu yedwa na?”
8 UJesu ekwazi masinyane emoyeni wakhe ukuthi bazindla kanjalo phakathi kwabo, wathi kubo: “Nizindlelani ngalokhu ezinhliziyweni zenu na?
9 Yikuphi okulula ukuthi kofe uhlangothi: ‘Uthethelelwe izono zakho,’ noma ukuthi: ‘Vuka, uthathe uhlaka lwakho, uhambe,’ na?
10 Kodwa ukuze nazi ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu inamandla emhlabeni okuthethelela izono,” esho kofe uhlangothi.
11 Ngithi kuwe: Vuka, uthabathe uhlaka lwakho, uye endlini yakho.
12 Wasesukuma masinyane, wathatha uhlaka, waphuma phambi kwabo bonke; baze bamangala bonke, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, besithi: Kasizange sikubone okunje.
13 Wabuye waphuma waya ngaselwandle; ixuku lonke laselisiza kuye, wabafundisa.
14 Esadlula, wabona uLevi ka-Alfewu ehlezi endaweni yokuthela, wathi kuye: “Ngilandele. Wasukuma wamlandela.
15 Kwathi ehlezi ekudleni endlini yakhe, nabathelisi abaningi nezoni babehlezi noJesu nabafundi bakhe, ngokuba babebaningi, bamlandela.
16 Kwathi ababhali labaFarisi bembona esidla labathelisi lezoni, bathi kubafundi bakhe: Kungani esidla lokusela labathelisi lezoni?
17 UJesu ekuzwa wathi kubo: “Abaphilayo abamdingi umelaphi, kodwa abagulayo kuphela.
18 Kepha abafundi bakaJohane nabafundi babaFarisi babezila ukudla, beza bathi kuye: “Kungani abafundi bakaJohane nabafundi babaFarisi bezila ukudla, kepha abafundi bakho abazili na?
19 UJesu wathi kubo: “Abendlu yomyeni bangazila yini ukudla, umyeni esenabo na? inqobo nje uma umyeni ekanye nabo, abanakuzila ukudla.
20 Kodwa zizakufika izinsuku, lapho umyeni ezakususwa kubo; yikhona-ke bezakuzila ngalolo suku.
21 Akakho othungela isiziba esingakashukeki engutsheni endala, funa okusha okubekelwayo kuklebhule kwendala, kwande ukuklebhuka.
22 Futhi akakho othela iwayini elisha ezimvabeni ezindala, funa iwayini liqhumise izimvaba, lichitheke iwayini, nezimvaba zonakale; kodwa iwayini elisha lithelwa ezimvabeni ezintsha.”
23 Kwasekusithi edabula amasimu ngesabatha; abafundi bakhe baqala ukuhamba ukukha izikhwebu.
24 AbaFarisi bathi kuye: “Bheka, benzani ngesabatha okungavunyelwe na?
25 Wathi kubo: “Anizange nifunde yini uDavida akwenzayo lapho eswele, elambile, yena nababe naye?
26 Ukuthi wangena endlini kaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zika-Abiyathara umpristi omkhulu, wadla izinkwa zokubukwa, ezingavunyelwe ukudliwa ngabapristi kuphela, wanika nababe naye?
27 Wasesithi kubo: Isabatha lenzelwa umuntu, umuntu kasenzelwanga isabatha.
28 Ngakho iNdodana yomuntu iyiNkosi leyesabatha.
