UMarko Chapter 2

1. Kwakuba ntsuku, wabuya wangena eKapernahum; kwavakala ukuba usekhaya,

2. Kwaoko kwahlanganisana into eninzi yabantu, ngokokude kungabi sabakho kukhwelelana, nakule mimandla isemnyango; wayelithetha ke kubo ilizwi.

3. Kuthi kufike kuye abantu bezisa onedumbe, ethwelwe ngabane.

4. Bakuba bengenakusondela kuye ngenxa yendimbane, banqika entungo apho abekhona; bakuba begqobhozile, baluhlisa ukhuko abelele kulo lowo unedumbe.

5. Akulubona ke uYesu ukholo lwabo, wathi konedumbe, Mntwana wam, uzixolelwe izono zakho.

6. Kwaye ke kukho apho ababhali abathile behleli, becamanga ezintliziyweni zabo, besithi,

7. Yini na ukuba lo enjenje ukuthetha izinyeliso? Ngubani na onako ukuxolela izono, mnye kwaphela, nguThixo?

8. Eqiqe kwaoko uYesu ngomoya wakhe, ukuba benjenjalo ukucamanga ngaphakathi kwabo, wathi kubo, Yini na ukuba nicamange ezi zinto ezintliziyweni zenu?

9. Okhona kulula kukuphi na: kukho ukuthi konedumbe, Uzixolelwe izono; kukho nokuthi, Vuka, uthabathe ukhuko lwakho, uhambe?

10. Ke ukuze nazi ukuba unalo igunya uNyana woMntu lokuxolela izono emhlabeni apha (uthi konedumbe),

11. Ndithi kuwe, Vuka, uthabathe ukhuko lwakho, uye endlwini yakho.

12. Wavuka kwaoko, waluthabatha ukhuko, waphuma phambi kwabo bonke, ngokokude bathi nqa bonke, bamzukise uThixo, besithi, Asizanga sikubone okunje.

13. Wabuya waphuma waya ngaselwandle, saye sonke isihlwele sisiza kuye; wayebafundisa.

14. Wathi edlula, wabona uLevi, lo ka-Alifeyu, ehleli endaweni yerhafu; athi kuye, Ndilandele. Wesuka wamlandela.

15. Kwathi ekuhlaleni kwakhe ngasesithebeni endlwini yakhe, kwahlala nento eninzi yababuthi berhafu naboni ndawonye noYesu nabafundi bakhe; kuba babebaninzi, baye ke bemlandela.

16. Baye ababhali kwanabaFarisi, bakumbona esidla ndawonye nababuthi berhafu naboni, besithi kubafundi bakhe. Yini na ukuba adle asele nababuthi berhafu naboni?

17. Ekuvile ke oko uYesu, wathi kubo, Akufuneki gqirha kwabaphili leyo lifuneka kwabafayo. Andize kubiza malungisa, ndize kubiza aboni, ukuba baguquke.

18. Baye abafundi bakaYohane nababaFarisi bezila ukudla; beze bathi kuye, Kungani na ukuba abafundi bakaYohane nababaFarisi bazile ukudla, kanti ke abakho abafundi abakuzili bona?

19. Wathi uYesu kubo, Banako yini na abegumbi lomtshakazi ukuzila ukudla, xa anabo umyeni? Lo gama wonke asekubo umyeni, abanako ukuzila ukudla.

20. Ke kofika mihla awoza asuswe kubo umyeni; baya kwandula ke ukuzila ngaloo mihla.

21. Akukho uthungela isiziba somchako omtsha engutyeni endala; okanye ke eso sifakiweyo, sitsha, sokrazula kuyo endala, sibe sibi ngokunye isikroba.

22. Kanjalo akukho utha iwayini entsha ezintsubeni ezindala; okanye iwayini, leyo intsha, yozigqabhuza iintsuba, iphalale iwayini, zitshabalale neentsuba; yona iwayini entsha imelwe kukuthiwa ezintsubeni ezintsha.

23. Kwathi ehamba ecanda emasimini ngesabatha, baqala abafundi bakhe ukuhamba besikha izikhwebu.

24. Baye besithi kuye abaFarisi, Khangela, yini na ukuba benze ngemini yesabatha oko kungavumelekileyo?

25. Wathi yena kubo; Anizanga niyilese na into awayenzayo uDavide, oko wayeswele, elambile nokulamba, yena nabo babenaye?

26. Okokuba wangena endlwini kaThixo ngexesha lika-Abhiyatare umbingeleli omkhulu, wazidla izonka ezibekwe phambi koThixo, ezo kungavumelekileyo ukuba zidliwe ngabo bangebabingeleli, wanika nabo babenaye?

27. Wayesithi kubo, Isabatha le yabakho ngenxa yomntu, asingumntu owabakhoyo ngenxa yesabatha.

28. Ngoko ke uNyana woMntu lo uyiNkosi yayo nesabatha.
