Mat 14 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

Ukubulawa kukaJohane uMbhaphathizi(Mark 6:14–29; Luka 9:7–9)

1Ngalesosikhathi uHerodi umbusi waluzwa udumo lukaJesu,

2wathi encekwini zakhe: Lo nguJohane uMbhaphathizi; uvukile kwabafileyo, kungakho imisebenzi yamandla isebenza kuye.

3Ngoba uHerodi wayembambile uJohane, wambopha, wamfaka entolongweni ngenxa kaHerodiyasi, umkaFiliphu umfowabo;Luka 3:19, 20

4ngoba uJohane wayethe kuye: Kawuvunyelwa ukumthatha.Levi 18:16; 20:21

5Wafuna ukumbulala kodwa wesaba abantu, ngoba bathi ungumprofethi.

6Kodwa ngosuku lokuzalwa kukaHerodi indodakazi kaHerodiyasi yasina phambi kwabo, yamkholisa uHerodi.

7Ngakho wathembisa ngesifungo ukuyinika lokho engakucela.

8Yona isilayiwe ngunina yathi: Ngiphe lapha emganwini ikhanda likaJohane uMbhaphathizi.

9Inkosi yadabuka, kodwa ngenxa yezifungo zayo langalabo ababehlezi layo yalaya ukuba inikwe.

10Yathuma yamquma uJohane ikhanda entolongweni.

11Ikhanda lakhe lalethwa ngomganu, lanikwa intombi, yona yalisa kunina.

12Kweza abafundi bakhe, bathatha isidumbu basimbela; basuka bambikela uJesu.

UJesu usuthisa amadoda azinkulungwane ezinhlanu(Mark 6:30–44; Luka 9:10–17; Joha 6:1–13)

13Wathi uJesu esekuzwile lokhu, wakhuphuka lapho ngomkolo waya endaweni eyinkangala eyedwa. Kodwa amaxuku akuzwa amlandela ngenyawo evela emizini.

14Esephumile wabona ixuku elikhulu, walihawukela, wasilisa abagulayo babo.

15Sekuhlwile abafundi bakhe beza kuye, bathi: Lindawo iyinkangala, lesikhathi sesihambile; ngakhoke badabulele ukuze baye emizini bazithengele ukudla.

16Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Kakuswelekanga ukuba bahambe; bapheni lina ukudla.

17Bathi kuye: Kasilakho lapha kuphela izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili.

18Wasesithi: Ziletheni lapha kimi.

19Walaya amaxuku ukuba ahlale phansi otshanini; wathatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, wakhangela ngasezulwini, wabonga; esezihlephule wabanika abafundi, abafundi bawanika amaxuku.

20Badla bonke, basutha, babutha imvuthuluka eseleyo, izitsha ezilitshumi lambili.

21Labo abadlayo babengamadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu, ngaphandle kwabesifazana labantwana.

UJesu uhamba phezu kolwandle(Mark 6:45–52; Joha 6:16–21)

22Wasebacindezela abafundi bakhe ukuba bangene emkolweni bamandulele ukuya ngaphetsheya, esadabulela amaxuku.

23Kwathi esedabulele amaxuku wenyukela entabeni ukuba akhuleke. Sekuhlwile wayeyedwa lapho.

24Kodwa umkolo wawusuphakathi kolwandle, utshukunyiswa ngamavinqo ngoba umoya wawuphambene labo.

25Ngesikhathi somlindo wesine wobusuku weza kibo ehamba phezu kolwandle.

26Kodwa kwathi abafundi bembona ehamba phezu kolwandle bethuka, bathi: Yisipuku. Bakhala ngokwesaba.

27Kodwa uJesu wakhuluma labo masinyane esithi: Manini isibindi; yimi, lingesabi.

28UPetro wasemphendula wathi: Nkosi, uba kunguwe, tshono ukuba ngize kuwe phezu kwamanzi.

29Wasesithi. Woza. UPetro wasesehla emkolweni, wahamba phezu kwamanzi, weza kuJesu.

30Kodwa esizwa amandla omoya wesaba; eseqala ukutshona wakhala wathi: Nkosi, ngisiza!

31Masinyane uJesu welula isandla sakhe wambamba, wathi kuye: Hawu, wena olokukholwa okuncinyane, uthandabuzelani na?

32Sebengenile emkolweni, umoya wathula.

33Abasemkolweni bamkhonza, bathi: Lembala wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.

UJesu usilisa elizweni laseGenesaretha(Mark 6:53–56)

34Kwathi sebewelile bafika elizweni laseGenesaretha.

35Esemazi amadoda akuleyondawo athumela ilizwi kulo lonke lelolizwe, aletha kuye bonke abagulayo.

36Bamncenga ukuba bathinte nje umphetho wengubo yakhe; bonke abawuthintayo basiliswa.
