2. 2NDEKhonapho inceku yenduna yekhulu eyayiligugu kakhulu enkosini yayo, yayigula isibangwa lezibi.BSBBSB: There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.
3. 3NDEInduna yekhulu yezwa ngoJesu yathuma kuye abanye abadala bamaJuda icela ukuba eze azosilisa inceku yayo.BSBBSB: When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
4. 4NDEBafika kuJesu bamncenga kakhulu bathi, “Indoda le ifanele ukuthi uyenzele lokhu,BSBBSB: They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
5. 5NDEngoba iyasithanda isizwe sakithi njalo yiyo eyakha isinagogu yethu.”BSBBSB: for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
6. 6NDENgakho uJesu wahamba labo. Wayengasekhatshana lendlu lapho induna yekhulu yathuma abangane bayo ukuyakuthi kuye, “Nkosi, ungazihluphi, akungifanelanga mina ukuthi ungene ngaphansi kophahla lwami.BSBBSB: So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
7. 7NDEYikho okwenze ngazibona ngingafanele ukuthi ngize kuwe. Kodwa tshono ilizwi nje inceku yami izasila.BSBBSB: That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8. 8NDENgoba mina ngokwami ngingumuntu ongaphansi komthetho, ngilamabutho angaphansi kwami. Lo ngimtshela ngithi, ‘Hamba,’ ahambe; ngithi kuloyana, ‘Buya,’ lakanye abuye. Ngithi encekwini yami, ‘Yenza lokhu,’ ikwenze.”BSBBSB: For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
9. 9NDEUJesu wathi ekuzwa lokhu wamangala ngaye, wasephendukela exukwini labantu ababemlandela wathi, “Ngiyalitshela, kangikaluboni ukholo olukhulu kangaka kanye lako-Israyeli.”BSBBSB: When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
10. 10NDEAbantu ababethunyiwe babuyela endlini bafica inceku isiziphilela.BSBBSB: And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
11. 11NDEKungakabi yisikhathi eside ngemva kwalokhu, uJesu waya edolobheni okwakuthiwa yiNayini, abafundi bakhe kanye lexuku labantu elikhulu babehamba laye.BSBBSB: Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
12. 12NDEWathi esebanga entubeni yedolobho, khonapho umuntu ofileyo wayethwelwe ekhutshelwa ngaphandle. Indodana eyiyo yodwa kunina njalo unina engumfelokazi. Ixuku elikhulu labantu bedolobheni lalilaye.BSBBSB: As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
13. 13NDEKwathi uJesu embona umfelokazi, wamhawukela wathi kuye, “Ungakhali.”BSBBSB: When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”
14. 14NDEWasesondela wathinta ithala elalilesidumbu, kwathi labo ababelithwele bema mpo. Wathi, “Jaha, ngithi kuwe, vuka!”BSBBSB: Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”
15. 15NDEIndoda efileyo yavuka yahlala, yasikhuluma, uJesu wayinika unina.BSBBSB: And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16. 16NDEBonke bamangala kakhulu badumisa uNkulunkulu. Bathi, “Umphrofethi omkhulu usevelile phakathi kwethu. UNkulunkulu usefikile ukuzasiza abantu bakhe.”BSBBSB: A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”
17. 17NDEUdumo lukaJesu lwamemetheka kulolonke elaseJudiya lemangweni wakhona.BSBBSB: And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
18. 18NDEAbafundi bakaJohane bamtshela ngazozonke lezizinto. Wabiza ababili baboBSBBSB: Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
19. 19NDEwabathuma eNkosini ukuyabuza ukuthi, “Unguye yini ozayo, kumbe silindele omunye?”BSBBSB: So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
20. 20NDEAmadoda lawo athi efika kuJesu athi, “UJohane uMbhaphathizi usithumile kuwe ukuthi sizobuza sithi, ‘Unguye yini ozayo kumbe silindele omunye’?”BSBBSB: When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”
21. 21NDENgalesosikhathi uJesu wasilisa abanengi ababelezifo, lemikhuhlane lemimoya emibi, wazivula amehlo iziphofu ezinengi.BSBBSB: At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.
22. 22NDEUJesu waphendula wathi, “Buyelani liyebikela uJohane lokhu elikubonayo lelikuzwayo ukuthi iziphofu zenziwa zibone, abaqhugezelayo bayahamba, abalobulephero bayahlanjululwa, izacuthe ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswa, levangeli liyatshunyayelwa kubayanga.BSBBSB: So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
23. 23NDEUbusisiwe lowomuntu ongakhubekiyo ngenxa yami.”BSBBSB: Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
24. 24NDESezihambile izithunywa zikaJohane uJesu waqala ukukhuluma labantu ngoJohane esithi: “Laphuma lisiyabonani enkangala na? Umhlanga owazunguzwa ngumoya na?BSBBSB: After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
25. 25NDENxa kwakungenjalo, pho lalisiyabonani? Indoda eyayicecile na? Hatshi, labo abagqoka izigqoko ezidulayo bazitike ngezinto ezinhle basezigodlweni.BSBBSB: Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.
26. 26NDEKodwa kanti kuyini elaphuma lisiyakubona? Umphrofethi yini? Yebo, ngiyalitshela, omkhulu kulomphrofethi.BSBBSB: What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
27. 27NDELo nguye okulotshwe ngaye ukuthi: ‘Ngizathuma isithunywa sami phambi kwakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.’BSBBSB: This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
28. 28NDENgiyalitshela ukuthi kubo abazalwa ngabesifazane kakho omkhulu kuloJohane; ikanti lowo omncinyane kakhulu embusweni kaNkulunkulu mkhulu kulaye.”BSBBSB: I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29. 29NDE(Bonke abantu, kanye labathelisi, bathi sebewazwile amazwi kaJesu bavuma ukuthi indlela kaNkulunkulu yayilungile, ngoba babebhaphathizwe nguJohane.BSBBSB: All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.
30. 30NDEKodwa abaFarisi lezazi zomthetho bayala injongo kaNkulunkulu ngabo, ngoba babengabhaphathizwanga nguJohane.)BSBBSB: But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
31. 31NDEUJesu waqhubeka wathi, “Pho ngingabafanisa lani abantu besizukulwane lesi? Bafanana lani?BSBBSB: “To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?
32. 32NDEBanjengabantwana behlezi emkambo bememeza abanye besithi: ‘Salitshayela umhubhe, kodwa kaligidanga, salihlabelela ingoma yesililo, kodwa kalililanga.’BSBBSB: They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
33. 33NDENgoba uJohane uMbhaphathizi weza engadli isinkwa njalo enganathi iwayini, lina lithi, ‘Uledimoni.’BSBBSB: For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
34. 34NDEINdodana yoMuntu yafika yadla, yanatha, laselisithi, ‘Nansi isidli lesidakwa, umngane wabathelisi lezoni.’BSBBSB: The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35. 35NDEKodwa ukuhlakanipha kuziveza ukuthi kuqondile ebantwaneni bakho bonke.”BSBBSB: But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
36. 36NDEOmunye wabaFarisi wanxusa uJesu ukuzakudla laye isidlo sakusihlwa, ngakho waya endlini yalowo mFarisi wahlala etafuleni.BSBBSB: Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.
37. 37NDEKwathi owesifazane othile owayephila impilo yesono kulelodolobho esezwile ukuthi uJesu wayesidla endlini yomFarisi weza ephethe imbodlela yamakha,BSBBSB: When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.
38. 38NDEkwathi esemi ngemva kukaJesu ngasezinyaweni ekhala, wamanzisa inyawo zakhe ngezinyembezi. Wasezesula inyawo zikaJesu ngenwele zakhe, wazanga wasethela amakha kuzo.BSBBSB: As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.
39. 39NDEKwathi lowomFarisi owayemnxusile ekubona lokho wazitshela wathi, “Aluba indoda le ibingumphrofethi, ibizakwazi ukuthi ngubani oyibambabambayo lokuthi umfazi lo uyisoni.”BSBBSB: When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”
40. 40NDEUJesu wamphendula wathi, “Simoni, kukhona engifuna ukukutshela khona.” Wathi, “Ngitshela, mfundisi.”BSBBSB: But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
41. 41NDE“Amadoda amabili ayelesikwelede semali kumeboleki wemali. Oyedwa wayelesikwelede samadenari angamakhulu amahlanu, omunye esamatshumi amahlanu.BSBBSB: “Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42. 42NDEBobabili babengelayo imali yokumbhadala, ngakho wasewesula umlandu wabo bobabili. Manje nguphi wabo ozamthanda okudlula omunye na?”BSBBSB: When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”
43. 43NDEUSimoni waphendula wathi, “Ngibona kungathi ngulowo owesulelwa isikwelede esikhulu.” UJesu wathi, “Wahlulele kuhle.”BSBBSB: “I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44. 44NDEWasephendukela kowesifazane wathi kuSimoni, “Uyambona na owesifazane lo? Ngifikile endlini yakho, kawungiphanga amanzi okugeza inyawo zami, kodwa yena uthambise inyawo zami ngezinyembezi zakhe, wazesula ngenwele zakhe.BSBBSB: And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45. 45NDEKawunganganga, kodwa owesifazane lo selokhu ngingenileyo lapha akemanga ukwanga inyawo zami.BSBBSB: You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.
46. 46NDEKawuthelanga amafutha ekhanda lami, kodwa yena uthele amakha ezinyaweni zami.BSBBSB: You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.
47. 47NDEYikho-ke ngiyakutshela ukuthi izono zakhe ezinengi sezithethelelwe, ngoba utshengise uthando olukhulu. Kodwa lowo othethelelwe okuncinyane uthanda kancinyane.”BSBBSB: Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
48. 48NDEUJesu wasesithi kowesifazane, “Izono zakho sezithethelelwe.”BSBBSB: Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49. 49NDEEzinye izethekeli zasezibuzana zisithi, “Ungubani kanti yena lo oze athethelele izono na?”BSBBSB: But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50. 50NDEUJesu wasesithi kowesifazane, “Ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.”BSBBSB: And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
