UMARKO 5:21-43

Ke kaloku, akubon' ukuba uYesu uwelile ngomkhombe, wabuya weza kwelinye icala, kwahlanganisana kuye isihlwele esikhulu; waye engaselwandle apho. Kubonakele kusiza omnye wakubaphathi bendlu yesikhungu, ogama linguYayiro; athi akumbona, awe ezinyaweni zakhe, ambongoze kunene, esithi, Intombazana yam isindekile; khawuze uzibeke izandla phezu kwayo, ukuze isindiswe; yophila. Wesuka wahamba naye; yaye indimbane enkulu imlandela, imxinile. Intokazi ethile, eyayinethombo legazi iminyaka elishumi elinamibini, eyayive ubunzima obuninzi kumagqirha amaninzi, eyayidleke konke ebinako, ingasizakali lutho, imana ukuba mandundu: yathi yakuva ngaye uYesu, yeza phakathi kwesihlwele ngasemva, yayichukumisa ingubo yakhe; kuba ibisithi, Ukuba ndithe ndachukumisa neengubo zakhe ezi, ndosindiswa. Watsha kwaoko umthombo wegazi layo; yeva emzimbeni wayo ukuba iphilisiwe kweso sibetho. UYesu, ethe kwaoko wawazi ngaphakathi kwakhe amandla aphume kuye, wajika esendimbaneni, wathi, Ngubani na ochukumise iingubo zam? Bathi kuye abafundi bakhe, Ubona nje ukuba isihlwele sikuxinile, utsho na ukuthi, Ngubani na ondichukumisileyo? Wasingasinga, ukuba ambone lowo uyenzileyo le nto. Ithe ke intokazi leyo, isoyika, igubha, ikwazi oko kwenzekileyo kuyo, yeza yawa phantsi kuye, yamxelela inyaniso yonke. Wathi ke kuyo, Ntombi yam, ukholo lwakho lukusindisile; hamba unoxolo, phila kweso sibetho sakho. Kuthi esathetha yena, kufike abakulomphathi wendlu yesikhungu, besithi, Intombi yakho ifile; usamkhathazelani na uMfundisi? Aze kwaoko uYesu, elivile elo zwi lithethwa, athi kumphathi wendlu yesikhungu, Musa ukoyika, kholwa kodwa wena. Akavumela mntu ukuba alandelane naye, kwakuphela nguPetros noYakobi noYohane, umzalwana kaYakobi. Afike endlwini yomphathi wendlu yesikhungu, abone isiphithiphithi, abalilayo nabenza isijwili esikhulu. Akungena uthi kubo, Yini na ukuba niphithizele nilile? Akafile umntwana, ulele. Basuka bamwa ngentsini. Athi akubakhupha bona bonke, amthabathe uyise womntwana nonina, nabo babenaye, angene apho wayelele khona umntwana. Ambambe ngesandla umntwana, athi kuye, Talita, kumi; oko kukuthi, ngentetho evakalayo, Ntombazana, ndithi kuwe, Vuka! Yavuka kwaoko intombazana leyo, yahambahamba; kuba ibiminyaka ilishumi elinamibini izelwe. Bathi nqa ngokuthi nqa okukhulu. Wabayala kakhulu ukuba kungàziwa mntu oku; watsho nokuthi, mayiphiwe idle.
