UMarko 5 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

5 ¹Bafika ngaphesheya kolwandle, kummandla wamaGerasa. ²Uthe uYesu akuphuma emkhombeni, kwaoko kwamkhawulela indoda enomoya ongcolileyo, iphuma emangcwabeni. ³Wayehleli phakathi kwamangcwaba, akubangakho namnye owayesenako ukumkhonkxa, nangomxokelelwane. ⁴Kuba wayedla ngokukhonkxwa ngamakhamandela nangemixokelelwane, kodwa wayiqhawula imixokelelwane, waqhekeza namakhamandela—akubangakho namnye owayenamandla okumthoba. ⁵Ebusuku nasemini, phakathi kwamangcwaba nasezintabeni, wakhala rhoqo, ezisika ngamatye. ⁶Wathi akumbona uYesu esekude, wagidima, waziphosa phantsi phambi kwakhe. ⁷Wadanduluka ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: “Ufuna ntoni na kum, Yesu, Nyana kaThixo Ophezukonke? Ndikubongoza ngoThixo, ungandithuthumbisi!”

⁸Kuba uYesu wayesithi kuye: “Phuma kule ndoda, wena moya ongcolileyo!”

⁹Wambuza uYesu wathi: “Ungubani igama lakho?” Wathi: “NdinguLegiyon,” watsho, “sibaninzi.” ^a a v9 Iligiyon yaseRoma yayinamajoni amalunga namawaka amathandathu—eli gama lityhila ukuba le ndoda yayithuthunjiswa ngamawaka oomoya abangendawo.

¹⁰Wayesoloko embongoza ukuba angabakhupheli ngaphandle kommandla. ¹¹Ke kaloku umhlambi omkhulu weehagu wawusidla apho ecaleni lentaba. ¹²Bambongoza besithi: “Sithumele ezihagwini; masingene kuzo.”

¹³Wabavumela. Baphuma oomoya abangcolileyo, bangena ezihagwini; umhlambi—omalunga namawaka amabini—wagaleleka eliweni usiya elwandle, watshona elwandle. ¹⁴Abalusi babaleka, bayixela emzini nasemaphandleni; abantu beza kubona okwenzekileyo. ¹⁵Beza kuYesu, bayibona indoda eyayiphethwe ziidemon, leya yayikade inoLegiyon, ihleli apho, yambethe, isezingqondweni zayo—boyika. ¹⁶Ababoneli babalisela oko kwenzekileyo kule ndoda yayiphethwe ziidemon, nangeehagu. ¹⁷Baza baqala ukumbongoza uYesu ukuba emke kummandla wabo.

¹⁸Uthe xa engena emkhombeni, le ndoda yayikade iphethwe yabongoza ukuba ibe naye.

¹⁹Kodwa uYesu akavuma, wasuka wathi kuye: “Goduka uye kwabakowenu, ubaxelele konke uBawo wethu akwenzele kona, nokuba nenceba kwakhe kuwe.” ^b b v19 Apho ezinye iinguqulelo zifunda khona ‘iNkosi,’ iFHB ibiza uBawo wethu—uYesu uthumela le ndoda iphilisiweyo ekhaya ukuba ibalise ngenceba kaBawo wethu, kanye le nceba le ndoda ethi iyibone ityhilwe kuYesu ngokwakhe.

²⁰Wahamba ke, waqala ukuvakalisa kwiDekapolisi konke uYesu awayekwenzele kona, bamangaliswa bonke. ^c c v20 IDekapolisi—“imizi elishumi” ngesiGrike—yayingummandla owawuquka ubukhulu becala imizi yabeeNtlanga, ngasezantsi nangasempumalanga koLwandle lwaseGalili.

Uphiliswe Lukholo, Uvuswe Luthando

²¹Uthe uYesu akuwela kwakhona ngomkhombe waya ngaphesheya, kwaqokelelana isihlwele esikhulu kuye ngaselwandle. ²²Omnye wabaphathi besikhungu, ogama linguYayirosi, weza, wambona uYesu, waziphosa ezinyaweni zakhe, ²³wambongoza ngamandla wathi: “Intombi yam encinane iyafa. Yiza, ubeke izandla zakho phezu kwayo, ukuze iphile, idle ubomi.”

²⁴Wahamba ke uYesu naye. Saza isihlwele esikhulu salandela emva kwakhe, samxinezela. ²⁵Ke kwakukho umfazi owayempompoza igazi iminyaka elishumi elinamibini. ²⁶Wayebandezeleke kakhulu phantsi koogqirha abaninzi, wachitha konke awayenako, akazuzanga nto, suka kwaba kubi ngakumbi. ²⁷Akuva ngoYesu, weza ngasemva kwakhe phakathi kwesihlwele, wayichukumisa ingubo yakhe. ²⁸Kuba wayesithi: “Ukuba ndithe ndazichukumisa nje iingubo zakhe, ndiya kuphila.” ²⁹Kwaoko koma ukumpompoza kwegazi lakhe, waziva emzimbeni wakhe ukuba uphilisiwe kwisifo sakhe.

³⁰Kwaoko uYesu, ekwazi ukuba amandla aphumile kuye, wajika phakathi kwesihlwele, wabuza: “Ngubani ochukumise iingubo zam?”

³¹Bathi kuye abafundi bakhe: “Uyabona isihlwele sikuxinezela, kodwa ubuze uthi, ‘Ngubani ondichukumisileyo?’”

³²Wathalaza ukuze abone ukuba ngubani oyenzileyo le nto. ³³Ke umfazi, esoyika engcangcazela, esazi oko kwenzekileyo kuye, weza, waziphosa phambi kwakhe, wamxelela yonke inyaniso.

³⁴Wathi kuye: “Ntombi, ukholo lwakho lukuphilisile. Hamba ngoxolo, uphilisiwe kwisifo sakho.”

³⁵Esathetha, kwafika abantu bevela endlwini yomphathi wesikhungu, besithi: “Intombi yakho ifile. Usamhluphelani na uMfundisi?”

³⁶Kodwa uYesu waweva into abayithethayo, wathi kumphathi wesikhungu: “Musa ukoyika, kholwa kuphela.”

³⁷Akavuma ukuba amlandele namnye, ngaphandle koPetros, noYakobi, noYohane umzalwana kaYakobi. ³⁸Bafika endlwini yomphathi wesikhungu, wabona isiphithiphithi uYesu—abantu belila, besenza isijwili esikhulu.

³⁹Uthe akungena, wathi kubo: “Yintoni le ngxokolo nokulila? Umntwana akafanga, usalele nje.”

⁴⁰Bamhleka. Kodwa wabakhuphela bonke ngaphandle, wathabatha uyise womntwana nonina nabalingane bakhe, wangena apho wayekhona umntwana.

⁴¹Wasibamba isandla sayo, wathi kuyo: “Talitha koum,” oko kukuthi: “Ntombazana, ndithi kuwe, vuka!”

⁴²Yathi kwaoko intombazana yavuka, yahamba—kuba yayiyiminyaka elishumi elinamibini—baza basuka bamangaliswa kakhulu kwaoko. ⁴³Wabayala ngokuqinileyo ukuba bangaxeleli bani ngale nto, wathi mayinikwe into etyiwayo.
