Ukukhishwa kwamademoni
(Math. 8:28; Luk. 8:26)
1Base befika phesheya kolwandle ezweni lamaGerasa. 2Esephume emkhunjini, kwahlangana naye masinyane umuntu ovela emathuneni, enomoya ongcolileyo. 3Wayehlala emathuneni, kungasekho muntu ongambopha nangeketanga; 4ngokuba wayeseboshwe kaningi ngawozankosi nangamaketanga, kepha amaketanga ayegqashuliwe nguye nawozankosi babephuliwe, kungekho noyedwa owayenamandla okumthambisa. 5Ngesikhathi sonke ubusuku nemini wayesemathuneni nasezintabeni, ememeza, ezilimaza ngamatshe.
6Wathi ukuba ambone uJesu esekude, wagijima, wakhuleka kuye; 7wayesememeza ngezwi elikhulu, ethi: “Nginamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngikufungisa uNkulunkulu, ungangihluphi.” 8Ngokuba wathi kuye: “Phuma kulo muntu, moya ongcolileyo.”
9Wayesembuza ethi: “Ngubani igama lakho?”
Wathi kuye: “NginguLegiyona* igama lami, ngokuba sibaningi.” 10Wamncenga kakhulu ukuba angabamukisi kulelo zwe.
11Kwakukhona lapho ngasentabeni umhlambi omkhulu wezingulube ziklabile. 12Bamncenga bathi: “Sithumele ezingulubeni ukuba singene kuzo.” 13Wabavumela. Omoya abangcolileyo baphuma, bangena ezingulubeni; umhlambi wagulukudela eweni, waphonseka elwandle kungathi izinkulungwane ezimbili, zaminza elwandle.
14Ababezalusa babaleka, baya babika emzini nasemaphandleni; base beza ukuyobona okwenzekileyo. 15Bafika kuJesu, bambona obekhwelwe ngamademoni ehlezi embethe, esangulukile, yena owayenelegiyona;* base besaba. 16Ababekubonile babatshela ukuthi kwenzeke kanjani kowayekhwelwe ngamademoni, nangezingulube. 17Base beqala ukumncenga ukuba amuke ezweni lakubo.
18Wathi ukuba angene emkhunjini, lowo owayekhwelwe ngamademoni wamncenga ukuba abe naye. 19Akamvumelanga, kepha wathi kuye: “Hamba uye ekhaya kwabakini, ubabikele ukuthi kungakanani iNkosi ekwenzele khona, yakuhawukela.” 20Wamuka-ke, waqala ukulanda eDekapholi ngokuthi kungakanani abekwenzile kuye uJesu; bamangala bonke.
Indodakazi kaJayiru ivuswa ekufeni
(Math. 9:18; Luk. 8:40)
21Khona uJesu esebuye ewelele ngaphesheya ngomkhumbi, kwabuthana isixuku esikhulu kuye engaselwandle. 22Kwase kufika omunye wabaphathi besinagoge,* nguJayiru igama lakhe, owathi ukuba ambone, waziphonsa phansi ngasezinyaweni zakhe, 23wamncenga kakhulu, wathi: “Indodakazi yami isiyalela; ake uze, ubeke izandla phezu kwayo ukuba isindiswe, iphile.” 24Wahamba naye. Isixuku esikhulu samlandela, samcindezela.
25Owesifazane owayenomopho iminyaka eyishumi nambili, 26ehluphekile ngokuningi ezinyangeni eziningi, echithile konke ayenakho, engasizakalanga ngalutho, kodwa kwayilokhu kuqhubeka, 27esezwile ngoJesu, weza esixukwini ngasemuva, wathinta ingubo yakhe, 28ngokuba wathi: “Uma ngingathinta nje izingubo zakhe, ngizakusindiswa.” 29Kwanqamuka masinyane umthombo wegazi lakhe, wezwa emzimbeni ukuthi uphulukile enhluphekweni yakhe.
30 Wanele ukuzwa uJesu phakathi kwakhe ukuthi amandla aphumile kuye, waphendukela esixukwini, wathi: “Ngubani othinte izingubo zami na?”
31Abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: “Uyabona isixuku sikucindezela, usuthi: ‘Ngubani ongithintileyo na?’ ”
32Waqalaza ukuba ambone owenzile lokho. 33Khona owesifazane esaba ethuthumela, azi okwenzekile kuye, weza waziphonsa phansi phambi kwakhe, wamtshela iqiniso lonke. 34 Wayesethi kuye: “Ndodakazi, ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba ube nokuthula; usuphulukile enhluphekweni yakho.”
35Esakhuluma, kwafika abomphathi wesinagoge,* bathi: “Indodakazi yakho isifile; usamkhathazelani uMfundisi na?”
36Kwathi ukuba uJesu ezwile izwi elishiwoyo, wathi kumphathi wesinagoge*: “Ungesabi, kholwa kuphela.”
37Akavumelanga muntu amlandele, kuphela oPetru, noJakobe, noJohane umfowabo kaJakobe. 38Bafika-ke endlini yomphathi wesinagoge,* wabona isiyaluyalu nabakhalayo nabalila kakhulu. 39Wangena, wathi kubo: “Niyaluzelani, nikhalelani na? Umntwana akafile, kodwa ulele.” 40Bamhleka usulu.
Kepha yena wabakhipha bonke, wathatha uyise womntwana nonina kanye nababe naye, wangena lapho kulele khona umntwana. 41Wabamba umntwana ngesandla, wathi kuye: “Thalitha, kumi,” okungukuthi ngokuhunyushwa: “Ntombazana, ngithi kuwe, vuka!” 42Yayisivuka masinyane intombazana, yahamba; ngokuba yayineminyaka eyishumi nambili. Khona bamangala ngokumangala okukhulu. 43Wabayalisisa ukuba lokhu kungaziwa muntu; futhi wathi mayiphiwe ukudla.
