3Sathane watsi kuye: “Nangabe uyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu, tjela nali litje ligucuke libe sinkhwa.”

4 Jesu wamphendvula watsi:

“UmBhalo utsi: ‘Umuntfu angeke

16Jesu waya eNazaretha lapho abekhulele khona, kwatsi ngeliSabatha waya esinagogeni njengaloku abevamisile. Wasukuma asatawufundza imiBhalo. 17Bamnika incwadzi ya-Isaya, umphrofethi. Wayisombulula watfola indzawana, wayifundza itsi:

18 “UMoya weNkhosi ukimi,

ngobe ungigcobile

kutsi ngishumayele tindzaba letimnandzi etimphuyeni;

ungitfumile kutsi ngimemetele inkhululeko kulabatfunjiwe,

nekuvula emehlo etimphumphutseni,

nekukhulula labacindzetelekile,

19 ngimemetele umnyaka

iNkhosi letakukhombisa umusa wayo ngawo.”

20Wase uyayigocota lencwadzi uyinika sikhonti ubuyela phansi uyahlala. Bonkhe bantfu esinagogeni bambukisisa. 21Wacala wakhuluma kubantfu watsi: “Lamuhla lomBhalo ugcwalisekile, njengobe nitivele nje kutsi utsini.”

22Bonkhe bantfu batsatseka ngaye bamangala ngalamagama lamahle lawakhuluma batsi: “Akusiye umsa waJosefa yini lona?”

23Watsi kubo: “Ngiyati kutsi nitangivulela lamavi alesiga lesitsi: ‘Nyanga tiphilise,’ niphindze futsi nitsi kimi: ‘Yenta nakuwo lomuti wakini letintfo leseva kutsi utentile eKhaphanawume!’ ” 24 Jesu wachubeka watsi: “Ase nginitjele naku, kutsi umphrofethi akemukeleki endzaweni yangakubo.

25 “Lalelani la kimi, kuliciniso kutsi bekunebafelokati labanyenti ka-Israyeli ngesikhatsi sa-Elija, ngesikhatsi lingani iminyaka lemitsatfu netinyanga letisitfupha, kwase kuba khona indlala lenkhulu eveni lonkhe. 26 Noko Elija akatfunyelwanga ngisho nakumunye wabo, kepha watfunyelwa kulomfelokati abewaseSarepta, esigodzini saseSidoni. 27 Kwakunemalephelo lamanyenti ka-Israyeli ngesikhatsi semphrofethi Elisha, noko kute nalinye lelaphiliswa emkhatsini wawo ngaphandle kwaNahamani, umSiriya.”

28Bonkhe bantfu esinagogeni bagcwala kutfukutsela nabeva loko, 29basukuma ngekutfukutsela, bamcosha kulelidolobha bamcondzisa esiweni salentsaba, lapho belakhiwe khona, bentela kumhholokoshisela kuso, 30kodvwa waphicaphicela emkhatsini wesicumbi sebantfu, wahamba.

33Bekunendvodza lapho esinagogeni lebeyinelidimoni; yamemeta kakhulu yatsi: 34“Awu! Jesu waseNazaretha ufunani kitsi? Sewutele kutesibhubhisa yini? Ngiyakwati kutsi ungubani; unguLongcwele waNkulunkulu.”

35Jesu wawekhuta lomoya watsi: “Thula! Phuma futsi kulomuntfu!” Lidimoni lamjika phansi embikwabo bonkhe, noko laphuma kuye lingakamlimati. 36Bantfu betfuka bonkhe, bakhuluma bodvwana batsi: “Livi lini leli? Ngeligunya nangemandla lamakhulu lomuntfu ukhalimela imimoya lemibi iphume.”

37Lendzaba ngaJesu yandza naso sonkhe leso sigodzi.

40Kwatsi ekushoneni kwelilanga bonkhe labebagulelwa tihlobo tabo tiphetfwe tifo letehlukene batiletsa kuJesu; tonkhe watibeka tandla, watiphilisa. 41Kwaphuma nemadimoni ebantfwini labanyenti. Amemeta atsi: “Wena uyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu!”

Jesu abewekhuta angawavumeli kutsi akhulume, ngobe abemati lamadimoni kutsi unguKhristu.
