Ukuzalwa kukaJesu

18 Ngakho ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu kwaba njeu. Ngoba unina uMariya esegane uJosefa, bengakahlangani wabonakala eselesisu ngoMoya oNgcwelev.

19 Kodwa uJosefa indoda yakhe engolungileyow, njalo engathandi ukumthela ihlazo, wayefuna ukumala ensithax.

20 Kwathi esanakana lezizinto, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye ephutsheniy, yathi: Josefa, ndodana kaDavida, ungesabi ukumthatha uMariya umkakho. Ngoba lokho akukhulelweyo1 kungoMoya oNgcwele;

21 njalo uzazala indodanaz, ubusuyitha ibizo uthi nguJesu2; ngoba yena uzasindisa abantu bakhea ezonweni zabob.

22 Konke lokhu-ke kwenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa yiNkosi ngomprofethi ukuthi:

23 Khangela, intombi izathatha isisu ibelethe indodanac, njalo bazabiza3 ibizo layo ngokuthi nguEmanuweli, okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, uNkulunkulu ulathi.

24 Kwathi uJosefa esephapheme ebuthongweni wenza njengalokho ingilosi yeNkosi imlayile, wasethatha umkakhe;

25 kodwa kazange amazi wazed wabeletha indodana yakhe eyingqabuthoe; waseyitha ibizo wathi nguJesuf.

Izazi zempumalanga

2Kwathi uJesu esezelwe eBhethelehema yeJudiya, ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosia, khangela, kwafika izazib eJerusalema zivela empumalangac,

2 zisithi: Ungaphi ozelwe eyinkosi yamaJudad? Ngoba sibonile inkanyezi yakhe empumalangae, njalo sesize ukumkhonza.

3 Ngakho uHerodi inkosi esezwile wakhathazeka, leJerusalema yonke kanye laye.

4 Esebuthanisile bonke abapristi abakhulu lababhali babantuf, wabuza kubo ukuthi uKristu uzazalelwa ngaphig.

5 Basebesithi kuye: EBhethelehema yeJudiya; ngoba kulotshiwe ngokunjalo ngumprofethi ukuthi:

6 Lawe, Bhethelehema lizwe lakoJuda, kawusuye omncinyane lakanye phakathi kwababusi bakoJuda; ngoba kuzavela kuwe umbusi, ozakwelusa abantu bami uIsrayelih.

7 Khona uHerodi, esezibizile izazi ensitha, wabuzisisa kuzo isikhathi sokubonakala kwenkanyezi.

8 Wasezithuma eBhethelehema wathi: Hambani libuzisise ngomntwana; kuzakuthi nxa limtholile, libike kimi, ukuze lami ngiye ngimkhonze.

9 Kwathi seziyizwile inkosi zasuka zahamba; njalo khangela, inkanyezi, ezayibona empumalanga, yahamba phambi kwazo, yaze yafika yema phezu kwalapho usane olwalukhona.

10 Zathi ukuyibona inkanyezi zathokoza ngentokozo enkulu kakhului.

11 Zasezingena endlini, zabona usane kanye loMariya unina, zawela phansi zalukhonza, zavula impahla zazo eziligugu zalukhunga ngeziphoj, igolide lempephak lemure*l.

12 Kwathi sezilayiwe nguNkulunkulu ephutsheni ukuthi zingabuyeli kuHerodi, zasuka zabuyela elizweni lakizo ngenye indlela.

Ukubalekela eGibhithe

13 Kwathi sezisukile, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuJosefa ephutshenim, isithi: Vuka uthathe usane lonina, ubusubalekela eGibhithe, ube khona ngize ngikutshele; ngoba uHerodi uzaludinga usane, ukuze alubulale.

14 Wavuka-ke wathatha usane lonina ebusuku wasuka waya eGibhithe,

15 wasehlala khona kwaze kwaba yikufa kukaHerodi; ukuze kugcwaliswe okwakhulunywa yiNkosi ngomprofethi isithi: Ngiyibizile indodana yami iphume eGibhithen.

Ukubulawa kwabantwana beBhethelehema

16 Kwathi uHerodi, esebonile ukuthi uphicwe yizazi, wathukuthela kakhulu, wathuma wabulala abantwana bonke ababeseBhethelehema lemingceleni yayo yonke, kusukela eminyakeni emibili langaphansi, njengesikhathi abebuzisise ngaso kuzazi.

17 Kwasekugcwaliseka okwakhulunywa nguJeremiya umprofethio, ukuthi:

18 Kwezwakala ilizwi eRamap, ukukhala lokulila lokudabuka okukhulu, uRasheli elilela abantwana bakhe, njalo engavumi ukududuzwa, ngoba bengasekho.

Ukubuyela elizweni lakoIsrayeli

19 Kodwa kwathi esefile uHerodi, khangela ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala ephutsheni kuJosefa eGibhithe,

20 isithi: Vuka uthathe umntwana omncinyane lonina, ubususiya elizweni lakoIsrayeli; ngoba sebefile ababedinga umphefumulo womntwana.

21 Wavuka-ke wathatha umntwana omncinyane lonina wasefika elizweni lakoIsrayeli.

22 Kodwa esezwile ukuthi uAkelawu usebusa eJudiya esikhundleni sikaHerodi uyise, wesaba ukuya khona; kodwa esexwayisiwe nguNkulunkulu ephutsheni, wasuka waya kungxenye zeGaliliq,

23 wasefika wahlala emzini othiwa yiNazarethar; ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi ukuthi: Uzabizwa ngokuthi ngumNazarethas.

Ukutshumayela kukaJohane uMbhabhathizi

3Ngalezonsuku kwasekufika uJohane uMbhabhathizia, etshumayela enkangala yeJudiyab

2 esithi: Phendukani; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ususondelec.

3 Ngoba nguye okwakhulunywa ngaye nguIsaya umprofethi, esithi: Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangalad, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani indledlana zayoe.

4 Njalo uJohane lo wayelesembatho sakhe soboya bekamela, lozwezwe lwesikhumba ekhalweni lwakhef; lokudla kwakhe kwakuzintetheg loluju lwegangah.

5 Kwasekuphumela kuye iJerusalema leJudiya yonke lelizwe lonke elizingelezele iJodanii;

6 basebebhabhathizwa nguyej eJodani bevuma izono zabok.

7 Kwathi ebona abanengi babaFarisi labaSadusi besiza ekubhabhathizeni kwakhe, wathi kubo: Nzalo yezinyokal, ngubani olibonise ukubalekela ulaka oluzayom?

8 Ngakho thelani izithelo ezifanele ukuphenduka;

9 njalo lingacabangi ukutsho phakathi kwenun lithi: SiloAbrahama ongubabao; ngoba ngithi kini: UNkulunkulu ulamandla okumvusela uAbrahama abantwana kulawa amatshe.

10 Lakhathesi ihloka selibekiwe empandeni zezihlahla; ngakho sonke isihlahla esingatheli isithelo esihle siyaganyulwa siphoselwe emlilwenip.

11 Mina ngilibhabhathiza ngamanzi kube sekuphendukeniq; kodwa yena oza emva kwami ulamandla kulami, engingafanele ukuphatha amanyathela akher; yena uzalibhabhathizas ngoMoya oNgcwelet langomlilou;

12 okhomane lwakhe lokwela lusesandleni sakhe, njalo uzathanyelisisa isibuya sakhev, abesebuthela amabele akhe esiphaleni sakhew, kodwa amakhoba uzawatshisax ngomlilo ongacitshekiyoy.

Ukubhabhathizwa kukaJesu

13 Khona uJesuz evela eGalilia wafika eJodani kuJohane, ukuze abhabhathizwe nguye.

14 Kodwa uJohane wayemalela esithi: Mina ngiswela ukubhabhathizwa nguwe, kanti wena uza kimi?

15 Kodwa uJesu ephendula wathi kuye: Vuma khathesi; ngoba kusifanele ukuthi sigcwalise ngokunjalo ukulunga konkeb. Wasemvumela.

16 UJesu esebhabhathiziwe wahle wakhuphuka emanzini; njalo khangela, amazulu amvulekela, wasebona uMoya kaNkulunkulu esehla kungathi lijuba esiza phezu kwakhec.

17 Njalo khangela, ilizwi livela emazulwinid, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayoe.

Ukulingwa kukaJesu

4Khona uJesu wakhokhelelwaa nguMoya enkangala, ukuze alingwe ngudiyabholab.

2 Esezile ukudla insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amanec, ekucineni walamba.

3 Kwasekusiza kuye umlingi wathi: Uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulud, tshono ukuthi lamatshe abe yizinkwa.

4 Kodwa yena waphendula wathi: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Umuntu kayikuphila ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa ngalo lonke ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulue.

5 Udiyabhola wasemthathaf wamusa emzini ongcwele, wasemmisa engqongeni yethempelig,

6 wasesithi kuye: Uba uyiNdodana kaNkulunkuluh, ziwisele phansi; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uzalaya ingilosi zakhe ngawe, besezikuphatha ngezandla, hlezi loba nini ukhube unyawo lwakho elitshenii.

7 UJesu wathi kuye: Kulotshiwe futhi ukuthi: Ungayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhoj.

8 Udiyabhola wabuya wamusa entabeni ende kakhulu, wamtshengisa imibuso yonke yomhlaba lokukhazimula kwayok,

9 wathi kuye: Zonke lezizinto ngizakunika zona, uba uwela phansi ungikhonza.

10 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Suka, Sathanel! Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uzakhothamela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, njalo uzakhonza yona yodwam.

11 Udiyabhola wasemyekela; njalo khangela, kwafika ingilosi zasezimsebenzelan.

UJesu uqala ukusebenza eGalili

12 Kwathi uJesu esezwile ukuthi uJohaneo unikelwe entolongweni, wasuka waya eGalilip;

13 wasesuka eNazarethaq, weza wahlala eKapenawume engaselwandle, emingceleni yakoZebuloni leyakoNafithalir;

14 ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uIsaya, ukuthi:

15 Ilizwe lakoZebuloni lelizwe lakoNafithalis, endleleni yaselwandle, ngaphetsheya kweJodanit, iGalili labezizweu,

16 abantu ababehlezi emnyameni babonile ukukhanya okukhulu, lababehlezi elizweni lethunzini lokufa ukukhanya kuphumele kubo.

UJesu uqala ukutshumayela

17 Kusukela kulesosikhathi uJesu waqala ukutshumayela lokuthiv: Phendukani; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ususondelew.

Ukubizwa kwabafundi bakuqala

18 Kwathi uJesu ehambahambax elwandle lweGalili wabona izelamani ezimbiliy, uSimoni othiwa nguPetroz, loAndreya umfowabo, bephosela imbule olwandle; ngoba babengabagoli benhlanzi.

19 Wasesithi kubo: Ngilandelani, njalo ngizalenza libe ngabagoli babantu.

20 Bahle-ke batshiya amambule bamlandelaa.

21 Eseqhubeke esuka lapho, wabona ezinye izelamani ezimbili, uJakobe okaZebediya loJohane umfowabo, besemkhunjini kanye loZebediya uyise, belungisa amambule abo; wasebabiza.

22 Njalo bahle batshiya umkhumbi loyise bamlandela.

UJesu usebenza elizweni leGalili

23 UJesu wasebhoda iGalili yonke, efundisa emasinagogeni abob, etshumayela ivangeli lombusoc, eselapha sonke isifo lobuthakathaka bonke ebantwinid.

24 Indumela yakhe yasiphumela kuyo yonke iSiriyae; basebeletha kuye bonke abagulayo, ababephethwe yizifo ngezifo lobuhlunguf, lababengenwe ngamadimonig, lababelezithuthwaneh, lezigoga; wasebasilisa.

25 Amaxuku amanengi asemlandela evela eGalilii leDikapolisi leJerusalema leJudiya langaphetsheya kweJodanij.

Intshumayelo yentabeni

5Kwathi ebona amaxuku wenyukela entabenia. Esehlezi phansi, abafundi bakhe beza kuyeb;

2 wasevula umlomo wakhec, wabafundisa, wathi:

Ababusisiweyo

3 Babusisiwed abayanga emoyenie; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ungowabof.

4 Babusisiwe abalilayog; ngoba bona bazaduduzwa.

5 Babusisiwe abamnene; ngoba bona bazakudla ilifa lomhlabah.

6 Babusisiwe abalambela labomela ukulunga; ngoba bona bazasuthiswai.

7 Babusisiwe abalesihawu; ngoba bona bazahawukelwaj.

8 Babusisiwe abamhlophe ngenhliziyok; ngoba bona bazabona uNkulunkulul.

9 Babusisiwe abalamulayo; ngoba bona bazathiwa ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.

10 Babusisiwe abazingelwayo ngenxa yokulunga; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ungowabom.

11 Lina libusisiwe, nxa belithuka belizingela, bekhuluma okubi konke bemelana lani beqamba amanga, ngenxa yami;

12 thokozani lithabe kakhulu, ngoba umvuzo wenu mkhulu emazulwinin; ngoba ngokunjalo babazingela abaprofethi abalandulelayoo.

Itshwayi lokukhanya emhlabeni

13 Lina lilitshwayi lomhlaba; kodwa uba itshwayi seliduma lizatshwaywa ngani? Kalisasizi lutho, ngaphandle kokulahlwa phandle beselinyathelwa ngabantup.

14 Lina liyikukhanya komhlabaq; umuzi omiswe phezu kwentaba ungesitheke;

15 njalo kabalumathisi isibaner basibeke ngaphansi kwesitsha, kodwa phezu kwesiqobane sesibane, besesibakhanyisela bonke abasendlini.

16 Ngokunjalo kakukhanye ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu, ukuze babone imisebenzi yenu emihles, badumise uYihlo osemazulwinit.

Umlayo omdala lomlayo kaJesu Kristu

17 Lingacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha umlayo kumbe abaprofethiu; angizanga ukuchitha kodwa ukugcwalisa.

18 Ngoba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kuze kudlule izulu lomhlaba, kakusoze kudlule ibadlana libe linye kumbe ichatshana libe linye lomlayo kuze kwenzeke konkev.

19 Ngakho owephula owodwa kulimilayo emincinyane, afundise abantu ngokunjalo, uzathiwa ngomncinyane embusweni wamazulu; kodwa oyenzayo ayifundise, lowo uzathiwa mkhulu embusweni wamazuluw.

20 Ngoba ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi ukulunga kwenu kwedlule okwababhali lokwabaFarisix, kalisoze lingene embusweni wamazulu.

21 Lizwile ukuthi kwathiwa kwabasendulo: Ungabulali; laloba ngubani obulalayo, uzakuba lecala lokugwetshway;

22 kodwa mina ngithi kini: Wonke othukuthelela umfowabo kungelasizatho uzakuba lecala lokugwetshwaz; lotshoyo kumfowabo ukuthi: Siphukuphukundini! uzakuba lecala emphakathinia; lotshoyo ukuthi: Sithuthandinib! uzakuba lecala elokuya esihogweni somliloc.

23 Ngakho uba uletha umnikelo wakho elathinid, ubusukhumbula ulapho ukuthi umfowenu ulolutho olumelana lawe,

24 tshiya lapho umnikelo wakho phambi kwelathi, uhambe, uqale ubuyisane lomfowenu, ubusuzonikela umnikelo wakho.

25 Phangisa uzwane laye omangalelane lawee usesendleleni layef, hlezi omangalelane lawe akunikele kumahluleli, futhi umahluleli akunikele epholisenig, ubusuphoselwa entolongweni.

26 Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Kawusoze uphume khona, uze ubhadale indibilitshi yokucina.

27 Lizwile ukuthi kwathiwa kwabasenduloh: Ungafebii.

28 Kodwa mina ngithi kini: Wonke okhangela owesifazana ukumkhanuka usefebile laye enhliziyweni yakhej.

29 Njalo uba ilihlo lakho lokunene likukhubekisak, likhuphe ulilahlele khatshana lawel; ngoba kungcono kuwe ukuthi kubhubhe sibe sinye sezitho zakho, lokuthi umzimba wakho wonke ungaphoselwa esihogwenim.

30 Njalo uba isandla sakho sokunene sikukhubekisa, siqume usilahlele khatshana lawen; ngoba kungcono kuwe ukuthi kubhubhe sibe sinye sezitho zakho, lokuthi umzimba wakho wonke ungaphoselwa esihogwenio.

31 Kwathiwa-ke: Loba ngubani owala umkakhe, kumele amnike incwadi yesehlukanisop;

32 kodwa mina ngithi kini: Loba ngubani owala umkakhe, ngaphandle kodaba lokufeba, umenza afebe, njalo loba ngubani omthathayo owaliweyo uyafeba.

33 Lizwile futhi ukuthi kwathiwa kwabasenduloq: Ungafungi amangar, kodwa gcwalisa izifungo zakho eNkosinis.

34 Kodwa mina ngithi kini: Lingafungi lakanyet; loba ngezulu, ngoba liyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkuluu;

35 loba ngomhlaba, ngoba uyisenabelo senyawo zakhev; loba ngeJerusalema, ngoba ingumuzi weNkosi enkuluw;

36 njalo ungafungi ngekhanda lakho, ngoba ungelwenze unwele lalunye lube mhlophe kumbe lube mnyama.

37 Kodwa ilizwi lenu kalibe ngelokuthi: Yebo yebo, hatshi hatshi; kodwa okudlula lokho kuvela komubix.

Ukuthanda izitha

38 Lizwile ukuthi kwathiwa: Ilihlo ngelihlo, lezinyo ngezinyoy;

39 kodwa mina ngithi kiniz: Lingamelani lobubia; kodwa loba ngubanib okuwakala esihlathini sokunene, mphendulele lesinyec;

40 lalowo ofuna ukukumangalela lokuthatha isigqoko sakho, mtshiyele lesembatho;

41 laloba ngubani okubamba ngamandla ukuthi uhambe imayili libe linyed, hamba laye abe mabili.

42 Mnike ocela kuwee; njalo ungamfulatheli ofisa ukweboleka kuwef.

43 Lizwile ukuthi kwathiwa: Wothanda umakhelwane wakhog, njalo uzonde isitha sakhoh;

44 kodwa mina ngithi kini: Thandani izitha zenu, libabusise abaliqalekisayo, libaphathe kuhle abalizondayoi, libakhulekele abaliphatha kubi, labalizingelayoj;

45 ukuze libe ngabantwana bakaYihlo osemazulwini, ngoba yena uphumisa ilanga lakhe phezu kwababi labahle, anise izulu phezu kwabalungileyo labangalungangak.

46 Ngoba aluba lithanda labo abalithandayo, lilomvuzo banil? Kabenzi njalo labathelisi yinim?

47 Futhi uba libingelela abafowenu bodwa, lenzani okukhulu okwedlula okwabanye? Kabenzi njalo labathelisi yinin?

48 Ngakho lina banini ngabapheleleyoo, njengoba uYihlo osemazulwini ephelelep.

Intshumayelo yentabeni iyaqhubeka. Ukwenza ukulunga

6Qaphelani ukuthi umsebenzi wenu womusa1 lingawenzi phambi kwabantu ukuze libonwe yibo2; nxa kungenjalo, alilamvuzo kuYihlo osemazulwini.

2 Ngakho nxa usenza umsebenzi womusa, ungakhalisi uphondo phambi kwakhoa, njengokwenza kwabazenzisi emasinagogeni lezindleleni, ukuze badunyiswe ngabantu; ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewemukele umvuzob waboc.

3 Kodwa wena nxa usenza umsebenzi womusa isandla sakho sokhohlo kasingakwazi esikwenzayo esokunene sakho,

4 ukuze umsebenzi wakho womusa ube sekusithekeni; njalo uYihlo obona ekusithekeni, yena uzakuvuza obalad.

5 Lalapho likhuleka, lingabi njengabazenzisi, ngoba bathanda ukukhuleka bemi emasinagogeni lemahlanganweni endlela, ukuze babonwe ngabantu; ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewemukele umvuzo waboe.

6 Kodwa wena nxa ukhuleka, ngenaf endlini yakho yensitha, ubusuvala umnyango wakho, ukhuleke kuYihlo osensithag; njalo uYihlo obona ekusithekeni uzakuvuza obalah.

7 Njalo uba likhuleka lingaphindaphindii njengabezizwe; ngoba bacabanga ukuthi bazakuzwiwaj ngokukhuluma kwabo okunengik.

8 Ngakho lingafanani labo; ngoba uYihlo uyakwazi elikuswelayo, lingakaceli kuyel.

UJesu ufundisa ngokukhuleka

9 Ngakho lina khulekani ngokunje: Baba wethu osemazulwinim, kalihlonitshwe ibizo lakhon;

10 umbuso wakho kawuzeo; intando yakho kayenziwep, lemhlabeni njengezulwiniq;

11 siphe lamuhla ukudla kwethu kwensuku zonker;

12 njalo usithethelele amacala ethu, njengalokhu lathi sibathethelela abalamacala kithis;

13 njalo ungasingenisi ekulingwenit, kodwa usikhulule ebubiniu. Ngoba umbuso ungowakho lamandla lenkazimulo kuze kube nini lanini. Ameniv.

14 Ngoba uba lithethelela abantu iziphambeko zabo, uYihlo osezulwini uzalithethelela laniw.

15 Kodwa uba lingathetheleli abantu iziphambeko zabo, loYihlo kayikulithethelela iziphambeko zenux.

Ukuzila ukudla

16 Futhi nxa lizila ukudlay, lingabi lobuso obudanileyo njengabazenzisi; ngoba benyukumalisa ubuso babo, ukuze babonakale ebantwini ukuthi bazililez; ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewemukele umvuzo waboa.

17 Kodwa wena nxa uzila ukudla gcoba ikhanda lakho, ugeze ubuso bakhob,

18 ukuze ungabonakali ebantwini ukuthi uzilile ukudla, kodwa kuYihlo osekusithekeni; njalo uYihlo obona ekusithekeni uzakuvuza obalac.

Inotho eqotho lokukhanya okuqotho

19 Lingazibekeli impahla eziligugu emhlabenid, lapho inundu lokuthomba okona khona, lalapho amasela afohlela khona ebe;

20 kodwa zibekeleni izinto eziligugu ezulwini, lapho inundu lokuthomba okungoni khonae, lalapho amasela angafohleli khona ebef.

21 Ngoba lapho okukhona impahla yenu eligugu, lenhliziyo yenu izakuba lapho.

22 Isibane somzimba yilihlog; ngakho uba ilihlo lakho liphilile, umzimba wakho wonke uzagcwala ukukhanyah;

23 kodwa uba ilihlo lakho lilibi, umzimba wakho wonke uzakuba lobumnyamai. Ngakho uba ukukhanya okuphakathi kwakho kuyibumnyama, umnyama mkhulu kangakananij!

24 Kakho ongakhonza amakhosi amabili; ngoba uzazonda enye, athande enye; kumbe uzabambelela kwenye, adelele enyek. Lingekhonze uNkulunkulul loMamona*m.

Ukukhathazeka, lokuthemba kuNkulunkulu

25 Ngakho ngithi kinin: Lingaphisekeli impilo yenu, ukuthi lizakudlani lokuthi lizanathani; lomzimba wenu, ukuthi lizakwembathani. Impilo kayidluli yini ukudla, lomzimba izembathoo?

26 Khangelani inyoni zezulu, ukuthi kazihlanyeli njalo kazivuni, kazibutheli eziphaleni; kanti uYihlo osezulwini uyazondla; lina kalizidluli kakhulu yinip?

27 Njalo nguwuphi kini ngokuphisekela ongengezelela ingalo ibenye ebudeni bakheq?

28 Langezembatho liphisekelani? Qaphelisani imiduze yeganga, ukuthi ikhula njani; kayitshikatshiki, kayiphothi;

29 kodwa ngithi kini: LoSolomoni ebucwazicwazini bakhe bonke wayengembathiswanga njengomunye wayor.

29 Kazithengiswa yini intaka ezimbili ngendibilitshi? Kodwa kakuyikuwa emhlabathini lanye yazo, ngaphandle kukaYihlo.

30 Kodwa lezenu inwele zekhanda zibaliwe zonkex.

32 Ngakho wonke ozangivuma phambi kwabantuz, lami ngizamvumaa phambi kukaBaba osemazulwinib.

33 Kodwa loba ngubani ongiphika phambi kwabantuc, lami ngizamphika phambi kukaBaba osemazulwinid.

Izibonakaliso zezikhathi

34 Lingacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuletha ukuthula emhlabeni; angizanga ukuletha ukuthula, kodwa inkemba.

35 Ngoba ngize ukwehlukanisa umuntu loyise, lendodakazi lonina, lomalokazana loninazalae;

36 lezitha zomuntu ngabendlu yakhe.

37 Othanda uyise kumbe unina kulami kangifanele; lothanda indodana kumbe indodakazi kulami kangifanelef;

38 longathathi isiphambano sakhe njalo angilandele, kangifaneleg.

39 Lowo othola impilo yakhe uzalahlekelwa yiyo; lolahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uzayitholah.

40 Owemukela lina wemukela minai; lowemukela mina wemukela ongithumileyoj.

41 Owemukela umprofethi ebizweni lomprofethi uzazuza umvuzo womprofethik; lowemukela olungileyo ebizweni lolungileyo uzazuza umvuzo wolungileyo.

42 Njalo loba ngubani ozanathisa omunye walababancinyane inkezo nje yamanzi aqandayo ebizweni lomfundi, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kasoze alahlekelwa ngumvuzo wakhel.

11Kwasekusithi uJesu eseqedile ukulaya abafundi bakhe abalitshumi lambili, wasuka lapho ukuyafundisa lokutshumayela emizini yabo.

Ukufakaza kukaJesu kubafundi bakaJohane lakubantu

3 wathi kuye: Wena unguye ozayo yini, kumbe silindele omunye?

4 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Hambani limtshele uJohane izinto elizizwayo lelizibonayoc:

5 Iziphofu zibuye ziboned, leziqhuli ziyahamba, amalephero ayahlanjululwae, lezacuthe ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswaf, labayanga bayatshunyayezwa ivangelig;

6 njalo ubusisiwe loba ngubani ongakhubekiyo ngamih.

7 Kwathi bona besuka uJesu waqala ukukhuluma emaxukwini ngoJohane wathi: Laphuma laya enkangala ukuyabonanii? Umhlanga onyikinywa ngumoya yini?

8 Kanti laphumela ukuyabonani? Umuntu owembethe izembatho ezibuthakathaka yini? Khangelani, abembethe ezibuthakathaka basezindlini zamakhosi.

9 Pho laphumela ukuyabonanij? Umprofethi yini? Yebo, ngithi kini: Loba owedlula umprofethik;

10 ngoba lo nguye okulotshwe ngaye ukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakhol.

11 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kakuvelanga phakathi kwabazelwe ngabesifazana omkhulu kuloJohane uMbhabhathizim. Kodwa omncinyane embusweni wamazulu mkhulu kulaye.

12 Njalo kusukela ensukwini zikaJohane uMbhabhathizi kuze kube khathesi umbuso wamazulu uphathwa ngodlakela, labalodlakela bawuthatha ngamandlan.

13 Ngoba abaprofethi bonke lomlayo baprofetha kwaze kwaba nguJohaneo;

14 njalo uba livuma ukukwemukela, lo unguElija obezakuzap.

15 Olendlebe zokuzwa, akezweq.

16 Kodwa ngizasifananisa lani lesisizukulwana? Sifanana labantwana abahlezi emamakether, bememeza kubangane babos,

17 besithi: Salitshayela umhlanga, kodwa kalisinanga; salililela, kodwa kalikhalangat.

18 Ngoba uJohane wafika engadliu enganathiv, basebesithi: Uledimoni.

19 INdodana yomuntu yafika isidla inatha, basebesithi: Khangelani, umuntu oligovu lesinathi sewayini, umngane wabathelisiw lezonix. Kodwa inhlakanipho ithiwa ilungiley ngabantwana bayoz.

Ukusolwa kwemizi engaphendukanga

20 Waseqala ukusola imizi okwakwenziwe phakathi kwayo ubunengi bemisebenzi yakhe yamandla, ngoba ingaphendukanga, wathi:

21 Maye kuwe, Korazinia! Maye kuwe, Bhethisayidab! Ngoba uba kwakwenziwe eTire leSidonic imisebenzi yamandla eyenziwe kinid, ngabe kade baphenduka emasakenie lemlothenif.

23 Lawe, Kapenawume, ophakanyiselwe ezulwinii, uzaphoselwa phansi esihogwenij; ngoba uba yayenziwe eSodoma imisebenzi yamandla eyenziwe kuwe, ngabe isekhona kuze kube lamuhlak.

24 Kodwa ngithi kini: Kuzakuba ngcono kulizwe leSodoma ngosuku lwesigwebo, kulakuwel.

UJesu udumisa uYise; unxusa abahluphekileyo beze kuye

25 Ngalesosikhathi uJesum waphendula wathi: Ngiyakubongan, Baba, Nkosi yezulu lomhlabao, ngoba uzifihlile lezizintop kwabahlakaniphileyo labaqedisisayoq, kodwa wazembulela izingane;

26 yebo Baba, ngoba ngokunjalo kwaba kuhle phambi kwakhor.

27 Konke kwanikelwa kimi nguBaba; njalo kakho oyaziyo iNdodana, ngaphandle kukaYise; kakho futhi omaziyo uYise ngaphandle kweNdodana, njalo loba ngubani iNdodana ethanda ukumembulelas.

28 Wozani kimi lonke elikhatheleyot lelisindiweyo, njalo mina ngizaliphumuzau.

29 Thathani ijogwe lami lilibeke phezu kwenuv lifunde kimiw, ngoba ngimnene ngithobekile enhliziywenix; njalo lizathola ukuphumula emiphefumulweni yenuy;

30 ngoba ijogwe lami libutshelezi, lomthwalo wami ululaz.

UJesu uchasisa umlayo wesabatha

12Ngalesosikhathi uJesu wadabula emasimini amabele ngesabatha; futhi abafundi bakhe babelambilea, baqala ukukha izikhwebu, badlab.

2 Kodwa abaFarisi bekubona bathi kuye: Khangela, abafundi bakho benza okungavunyelwanga ukwenziwa ngesabathac.

3 Kodwa wathi kubo: Kalifundanga yini uDavida akwenzayod, mhla elambile yena lababelaye;

4 ukuthi wangena njani endlini kaNkulunkulu, wadla izinkwa zokubukiswa, ayengavunyelwa ukuzidla, ngitsho lababelayee, ngaphandle kwabapristi bodwaf?

5 Ingabe kalifundanga yini emlayweni, ukuthi ngamasabatha abapristi bayalona isabatha ethempelini, bangabi lacalag?

6 Kodwa ngithi kini: Kukhona lapha omkhulu kulethempelih.

7 Kodwa aluba belisazi ukuthi kutshoni ukuthii: Ngifisa isihawu hatshi umhlatshelo, ngabe kalibalahlanga abangelacala.

8 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu iyiNkosi leyesabathaj.

UJesu usilisa ngesabatha

9 Futhi wasuka lapho wangena esinagogeni labo;

10 njalo khangela, kwakukhona umuntu olesandla esitshwabheneyok; basebembuza besithi: Kuvunyelwe yini ukusilisa ngamasabatha? ukuze bambeke icala.

11 Kodwa wathi kubo: Nguwuphi umuntu phakathi kwenu, elemvu eyodwa, futhi uba yona iwele emgodini ngesabatha, ongayikuyibamba ayikhuphulel?

12 Umuntu uyedlula-ke kangakanani imvum! Ngakho kuvunyelwe ukwenza okuhle ngamasabatha.

13 Wasesithi kumuntu: Yelula isandla sakho. Waseselula, sasesisiliswa saphila njengesinye.

Inceku ekhethiweyo

14 Basebephuma abaFarisi becebisana ngaye, ukuthi bangambulala njanin.

15 Kodwa uJesu esekwazi wasuka laphoo; amaxuku amakhulu asemlandela, wasebasilisa bonkep.

16 Wasebalayisisa ukuthi bangamveziq;

17 ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa nguIsaya umprofethi, ukuthi:

18 Khangela, inceku yami engiyikhethileyo; othandekayo wamir othokoza ngaye umphefumulo wami; ngizabeka uMoya wami phezu kwakhe, njalo uzatshumayela ukwahlulela kwabezizwe.

19 Kayikubangisa, kayikumemeza, njalo kakho ozalizwa ilizwi lakhe ezindleleni.

20 Umhlanga ofecekileyo kayikuwephula, lentambo yesibane ethunqayo kayikuyicitsha, aze aphumelelise ukwahlulelas ekunqobenit.

21 Lezizwe zizathemba ebizweni lakheu.

Isono sokuhlambaza

22 Kwasekulethwa kuye ongenwe lidimoni, eyisiphofu lesimungulu; wasemsilisa, kwaze kwathi isiphofu esiyisimungulu sakhuluma njalo sabonav.

23 Asemangala amaxuku wonke athiw: Lo kayisiyo yini iNdodana kaDavidax?

24 Kodwa abaFarisi sebezwile bathi: Lumuntu kakhuphi amadimoni, ngaphandle ngoBhelezebhule inkosi yamadimoniy.

25 Kodwa uJesu, eseyazi imicabango yabo, wathi kuboz: Wonke umbuso owehlukene umelene lawo ngokwawo uyachitheka; lawo wonke umuzi kumbe indlu eyehlukene imelene layo ngokwayo ingeze yema.

26 Njalo uba uSathane ekhupha uSathane, wehlukene emelene laye ngokwakhe; pho umbuso wakhe uzakuma njania?

27 Futhi uba mina ngikhupha amadimoni ngoBhelezebhule, amadodana enu akhupha ngobani? Ngakho wona azakuba ngabagwebi benub.

28 Kodwa uba mina ngikhupha amadimoni ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu, umbuso kaNkulunkulu usufikile kinic.

29 Kumbe umuntu angangena njani endlini yesiqhwaga aphange impahla yaso, ngaphandle kokuthi asibophe kuqala isiqhwagad? Abesephanga-ke indlu yasoe.

30 Ongelami, umelene lami, longabuthi lami, uyachithizaf.

31 Ngakho ngithi kini: Abantu bazathethelelwa sonke isono lokuhlambazag; kodwa ukuhlambaza uMoya kakuyikuthethelelwa abantuh.

32 Lalowo okhuluma ilizwi elimelana leNdodana yomuntui, uzathethelelwaj; kodwa lowo okhuluma emelana loMoya oyiNgcwele, kayikuthethelelwa, kungeyisikho kulesisikhathi loba kwesizayo.

33 Loba yenzani isihlahla sibe ngesilungileyo, lesithelo saso sibe ngesilungileyo, kumbe lenze isihlahla sibe sibi, lesithelo saso sibe sibik, ngoba isihlahla saziwa ngesithelol.

34 Nzalo yezinyoka, lingakhuluma njani izinto ezinhle, libabim? Ngoba umlomo ukhuluma ngokugcwala kwenhliziyo.

35 Umuntu olungileyo ukhupha izinto ezilungileyo kokuligugu elilungileyo lenhliziyo; lomuntu omubi ukhupha izinto ezimbi kokuligugu elibin.

36 Kodwa ngithi kini: Lonke ilizwi eliyize abalikhulumayo abantu, bazaziphendulela ngalo ngosuku lokwahlulela.

37 Ngoba ngamazwi akho uzalungisiswa, langamazwi akho uzalahlwao.

Abafuna isibonakaliso

38 Abanye bababhali labaFarisi basebephendula, bathi: Mfundisi, sifuna ukubona isibonakaliso esivela kuwep.

39 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Isizukulwana esibiq lesifebayo sidinga isibonakaliso; kodwa kasiyikunikwa isibonakaliso, ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethir.

40 Ngoba njengalokhu uJona waba sesiswini sensikabayitshiye insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu, ngokunjalo iNdodana yomuntu izakuba semathunjini omhlaba insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathus.

41 Amadoda eNinevet azasukuma ekugwetshweni kanye lalesisizukulwanau, asilahlev; ngoba aphenduka ngokutshumayela kukaJonaw; njalo khangelani, omkhulu kuloJona ulaphax.

42 Indlovukazi yeningizimu izasukuma ekugwetshweni kanye lalesisizukulwanay, isilahle; ngoba yavela emikhawulweni yomhlaba ukuzakuzwa inhlakanipho kaSolomoniz; njalo khangelani, omkhulu kuloSolomoni ulaphaa.

Ukuphenduka okungaphelelanga

43 Kodwa nxa umoya ongcolileyo esephumile emuntwinib, uyahamba adabule indawo ezomileyo, edinga ukuphumula, kodwa engakutholi.

44 Abesesithi: Ngizabuyela endlini yami engaphuma kuyo; njalo esefikile ayifice ize, ithanyelwec, njalo ilungisiwe.

45 Abesehamba athathe kanye laye abanye omoya abayisikhombisa ababi kulaye uqobo, besebengena bahlale khonad; njalo ukucina kwalowomuntu kube kubi kulokuqala. Kuzakuba njalo lakulesisizukulwana esibie.

Izihlobo zikaJesu eziyizo

46 Kwathi esakhuluma emaxukwini, khangela, uninaf labafowabo bema ngaphandle, bedinga ukukhuluma laye.

47 Omunye wasesithi kuye: Khangela, unyoko labafowenu bemi phandle, badinga ukukhuluma lawe.

48 Kodwa waphendula wathi komtshelileyo: Ngubani umama? Labafowethu ngobani?

49 Waseselulela isandla sakhe kubafundi bakhe wathi: Khangelani, umama labafowethug.

50 Ngoba loba ngubani owenza intandoh kaBaba osemazulwini, nguye ongumfowethu lodadewethu lomamai.

Umfanekiso womhlanyeli

13Kwathi ngalolosuku uJesu waphuma endlinia wahlala phansi elwandleb.

2 Kwasekubuthana kuye amaxuku amakhuluc, waze wangenad emkhunjini wahlala phansi; lexuku lonke lema ekhunjinie.

3 Wasekhuluma labo izinto ezinengi ngemifanekiso, wathi: Khangelani, kwaphuma umhlanyeli ukuyahlanyela.

4 Kwathi ekuhlanyeleni kwakhe, enye inhlanyelo yawela eceleni kwendlela; kwasekufika inyoni, zayidla zayiqeda.

5 Kodwa enye yawela emhlabathini olamatshe, lapho eyayingelamhlabathi omnengi khona; futhi yahle yamila, ngoba kwakungelakutshona komhlabathi;

6 kwathi ekuphumeni kwelanga yahangulwa; njalo ngoba yayingelampande yabuna.

7 Kodwa enye yawela emeveni; ameva asekhula ayiminyanisaf.

8 Kodwa enye yawela emhlabathini omuhle, yathela isithelog, enye ikhulu, lenye amatshumi ayisithupha, lenye amatshumi amathathuh.

9 Olendlebe zokuzwa, akezwei.

Umsebenzi wemifanekiso

10 Kwasekufika abafundi bathi kuye: Ukhulumelani kubo ngemifanekiso?

11 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Ngoba kuphiwe kinij ukwazi imfihlo zombuso wamazulu, kodwa bona kabakunikwanga.

12 Ngoba loba ngubani olakho uzaphiwa, abe lokwengezelelweyo; kodwa lowo ongelakho, uzakwemukwak lalokho alakhol.

13 Ngakho ngikhuluma labo ngemifanekiso, ngoba bebona kababoni, njalo besizwa kabezwa, futhi kabaqedisisi.

14 Kubo besekugcwaliseka isiprofetho sikaIsaya, esithi: Ukuzwa lizakuzwa, kodwa kalisoze liqedisise; lokubona lizabona, kodwa kalisoze libonisise;

15 ngoba inhliziyo yalababantu seyaba lukhunim, njalo bezwa kanzima ngendlebe, lamehlo abo bawacimezile; hlezi loba nini babone ngamehlo, njalo bezwe ngendlebe, futhi baqedisise ngenhliziyon, njalo baphenduke, besengibasilisao.

16 Kodwa abusisiwe amehlo enup, ngoba ayabona; lendlebe zenu, ngoba ziyezwaq.

17 Ngoba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Abaprofethi abanengi labalungileyo babethanda ukubona izinto elizibonayo, kodwa kabazibonanga; lokuzwa izinto elizizwayo kodwa kabazizwangar.

Ukuchasiswa komfanekiso womhlanyeli

18 Ngakho lina zwanini umfanekiso womhlanyelis.

19 Kuthi wonke ozwayo ilizwi lombuso kodwa engaqedisisit, omubi afike, ahluthune okuhlanyelwe enhliziyweni yakhe. Lo nguye ohlanyelwe eceleni kwendlelau.

20 Kodwa ohlanyelwe emhlabathini olamatshe, nguye olizwayo ilizwi, ahle alemukelev ngentokozo;

21 kodwa kalampande phakathi kwakhew, kodwa uhlala isikhathi; kuthi sekufika inkathazo kumbe ukuzingelwa ngenxa yelizwix, ahley akhubekez.

22 Lohlanyelwe emeveni, nguye olizwayo ilizwi, kodwa impisekelo yalumhlaba lenkohlisoa yenotho kuyaliminyanisa ilizwi, futhi lingatheli isithelob.

23 Kodwa ohlanyelwe emhlabathini omuhle, nguye olizwayo ilizwi aliqedisise; athele izithelo, aveze, omunye ikhulu, lomunye amatshumi ayisithupha, lomunye amatshumi amathathu.

Umfanekiso womfaba, lowemasitedi, lowemvubelo

24 Wabeka phambi kwabo omunye umfanekiso, esithi: Umbuso wamazulu ufananiswa lomuntu owahlanyela inhlanyelo enhle ensimini yakhe.

25 Kodwa abantu besalele, kwafika isitha sakhe sahlanyela umfaba phakathi kwamabele, sahamba.

26 Kodwa kwathi selumilile usungulo lwathela isithelo, lomfaba wasubonakala.

27 Zasezisondela inceku zomninimuzi zathi kuye: Nkosi, kawuhlanyelanga yini inhlanyelo enhle ensimini yakho? Pho iwuthethe ngaphi umfaba?

28 Wasesithi kuzo: Umuntu oyisitha ukwenzile lokhu. Inceku zasezisithi kuye: Uthanda ukuthi siyewubutha yini?

29 Kodwa wathi: Hatshi, hlezi, ekubutheni kwenu umfaba, lisiphune amabele kanye lawo.

30 Yekelani kukhule kokubili ndawonye kuze kube yisivuno; langesikhathi sokuvuna ngizakuthi kwabavunayo: Buthani kuqala umfaba, liwubophe izinyanda ukuze liwutshisec; kodwa amabele liwabuthele esiphaleni samid.

31 Wasebabekela omunye umfanekiso, esithi: Umbuso wamazulue unjengohlamvu lwemasitedi, aluthatha umuntu waluhlanyela ensimini yakhe;

32 lona kambe luncinyane kulazo zonke inhlamvu; kodwa nxa selukhulilef, lukhulu kulezilimo, njalo luba yisihlahlag, kuze kufike inyoni zezulu, zakhele engatsheni zasoh.

33 Wabatshela omunye umfanekiso, wathi: Umbuso wamazulu unjengemvubeloi, ayithathayo owesifazana wayifaka emagokokweni amathathu empuphu, kwaze kwabila konkej.

34 Lezizinto zonke uJesu wazikhuluma emaxukwini ngemifanekiso, futhi ngaphandle komfanekiso kakhulumanga kubo;

35 ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethik, esithi: Ngizavula umlomo wami ngemifanekisol, ngizaveza izinto ezifihlakeleyom kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaban.

36 Kwathi uJesu esewayekele amaxuku ahamba wangena endlinio; basebesondela kuye abafundi bakhe, besithi: Sichasisele umfanekiso womfaba ensiminip.

37 Wasephendula wathi kibo: Ohlanyela inhlanyelo enhle yiNdodana yomuntu;

38 lensimu ngumhlabaq; lenhlanyelo enhle, yona ingabantwana bombusor; kodwa umfaba ungabantwana bomubis;

39 lesitha esawuhlanyelayo ngudiyabholat; lesivuno siyikuphela kwesikhathiu; labavunayo bazingilosi.

40 Ngakho-ke njengalokhu umfaba uyabuthwa utshiswe emlilweniv, kuzakuba njalo ekupheleni kwalesisikhathiw.

41 INdodana yomuntu izathuma ingilosi zayo, besezibutha zikhuphe embusweni wayo konke okukhubekisayo lalabo abenza okubix,

42 besezibaphoselay esithandweni somliloz; lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyoa.

43 Khona abalungileyo bezakhanya njengelangab embusweni kaYisec. Olendlebe zokuzwa akezwed.

Umfanekiso wenotho, lowamangqongqo aligugu lowembule

44 Futhi umbuso wamazulu unjengempahla eligugu efihliweyo ensimini, okuthi umuntu eseyificile wayifihlae; entokozweni yakhe uyahamba, athengise konke alakhof, athenge leyonsimug.

45 Futhi umbuso wamazulu unjengomuntu ongumthengi odinga amapharele* amahle;

46 esethole elinye ipharele eliligugu kakhuluh, wasuka wathengisa konke alakhoi, walithengaj.

47 Futhi umbuso wamazulu unjengembule elaphoswa olwandlek, laselibutha zonke inhlobo;

48 lona, lithe seligcwele, balidonsela ekhunjini, bahlala phansi, babuthela ezilungileyo ezitsheni, kodwa ezimbi bazilahlela ngaphandlel.

49 Kuzakuba njalo ekupheleni kwesikhathim; ingilosi zizaphuma, zehlukanise ababi zibasuse phakathi kwabalungileyon,

50 besezibaphosela esithandweni somlilo; lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyoo.

51 UJesu wathi kubo: Seliziqedisisile zonke lezizinto yini? Bathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosip.

52 Wasesithi kubo: Ngakho wonke umbhaliq ofundiselwe umbuso wamazulu unjengomuntu ongumninimuzi, okhupha empahleni yakhe eligugur okutsha lokudala.

UJesu udelelwa emzini wakibo

53 Kwasekusithi uJesu eseqedile limifanekiso, wasuka lapho.

54 Wathi esefikiles emzini wakibot wabafundisa esinagogeni labou, baze bamangala bathi: Ivela ngaphi kuyenalo linhlakaniphov lalimisebenzi yamandlaw?

55 Lo kayisiyo yinix indodana yombazi? Unina kathiwa nguMariya yiniy, labafowaboz oJakobe loJose loSimoni loJudasi?

56 Labodadewabo kabakho yini bonke kithi? Pho, zivela ngaphi zonke lezizinto kuyea?

57 Basebekhubeka ngayeb. Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Umprofethi kasweli ukudunyiswa ngaphandle kwelizweni lakibo lendlini yakwaboc.

58 Njalo kenzanga lapho imisebenzi yamandla eminengid, ngenxa yokungakholwa kwaboe.

Ukubulawa kukaJohane uMbhabhathizi

14Ngalesosikhathi uHerodia umtetrarki* wezwa indumela kaJesub,

2 wasesithi ezincekwini zakhec: Lo nguJohane uMbhabhathizi; yena uvukile kwabafileyod, kungakho-ke imisebenzi yamandla isebenza kuye.

3 Ngoba uHerodi wayembambile uJohane wambopha wamfaka entolongwenie, ngenxa kaHerodiyasi umkaFiliphu umfowabof;

4 ngoba uJohane wayethe kuye: Kawuvunyelwa ukuba laye.

5 Njalo efuna ukumbulalag, wesaba ixukuh, ngoba lalimphatha njengomprofethii.

6 Kodwa kwathi kugcinwa usuku lokuzalwa kukaHerodi, indodakazi kaHerodiyasi yagida phakathi kwabo, yamthokozisa uHerodi.

7 Ngakho wathembisa ngesifungo ukuyinika loba yini ezayicela.

8 Kodwa yona, isilayiwe ngunina, yathij: Ngiphe lapha emganwinik ikhanda likaJohane uMbhabhathizi.

9 Inkosi yasisiba losizi, kodwa ngenxa yezifungo langalabo ababehlezi layo ekudleni yalaya ukuthi inikwe.

10 Yasithuma yamquma uJohane ikhanda entolongweni.

11 Ikhanda lakhe laselilethwa ngomganul, lanikwa intombi; yona yasilisa kunina.

12 Kwasekusiza abafundi bakhe bathatha isidumbu, basingcwaba; basebesuka bambikela uJesu.

UJesu usuthisa amadoda azinkulungwane ezinhlanu

13 UJesu esezwilem wasuka lapho ngomkhumbi waya endaweni eyinkangala eyedwa; kodwa amaxuku ekuzwa amlandela ngenyawo evela emizinin.

14 UJesu esephumile wabona ixuku elikhulu, waba lesihelo ngaboo, wasilisa abagulayo babop.

15 Kwathi sekuhlwile abafundi bakhe beza kuye, bathi: Lindawo iyinkangala, lesikhathi sesihambileq; liyekele ixuku lihambe, ukuze baye emizaneni bazithengele ukudlar.

16 Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Kakuswelekanga ukuthi bahambe; banikeni lina ukuthi badle.

17 Kodwa bathi kuye: Kasila lapha ngaphandle kwezinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili.

18 Wasesithi: Ziletheni lapha kimi.

19 Waselaya amaxuku ukuthi ahlale phansi etshanini, wathatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbilis, wakhangela phezulu ezulwinit, wazibusisa, esezihlephule wabanika abafundi izinkwa, labafundi bapha amaxukuu.

20 Basebesidla bonke, basutha; badobha imvuthu ezazisele, izitsha ezigcweleyo ezilitshumi lambiliv.

21 Lalabo abasebedlile babengamadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu, ngaphandle kwabesifazana labantwana.

UJesu uhamba phezu kolwandle

22 Njalo uJesu wahle wacindezela abafundi bakhe ukuthi bangene emkhunjini, njalo bamqalele ukuya ngaphetsheya, esayekela amaxuku ahambew.

23 Kwathi eseyekele amaxuku ahamba, wenyukela entabeni eyedwa ukuze akhulekex; kwathi sekuhlwile, wayeyedwa lapho.

24 Kodwa umkhumbi wawusuphakathi kolwandle, utshukunyiswa ngamagagasi; ngoba umoya wawuphambene labo.

25 Kwathi ngesikhathi somlindo wesine wobusuku uJesu weza kubo, ehamba phezu kolwandley.

26 Kodwa kwathi abafundi bembona ehamba phezu kolwandle bethuka, bathiz: Lithonga. Basebekhala ngokwesaba.

27 Kodwa uJesu wahle wakhuluma labo, wathi: Manini isibindi; yimi; lingesabia.

28 UPetro wasemphendula wathi: Nkosi, uba kunguwe, ngilaya ukuthi ngize kuwe phezu kwamanzi.

29 Wasesithi: Woza. UPetro wasesehla emkhunjini wahamba phezu kwamanzi, ukuze aye kuJesu.

30 Kodwa ebona umoya olamandla wesaba; wathi eseqala ukutshona wakhala, wathi: Nkosi, ngisindisa!

31 Njalo uJesu wahle welula isandla, wambamba, wathi kuye: Wena olokukholwa okuncinyane, uthandabuzelanib?

32 Sebengenile emkhunjini, umoya wathula.

33 Abasemkhunjini basebesiza bamkhonza bathic: Ngeqiniso wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulud.

UJesu usilisa elizweni leGenesaretha

34 Kwathi sebechaphile bafika elizweni leGenesarethae.

35 Esemazi amadoda akuleyondawo athumela ilizwi kuso sonke lesosigaba esizingelezeleyo, aletha kuye bonke abagulayo.

36 Basebemncenga, ukuthi bathinte nje umphetho wesembatho sakhef; njalo bonkeg abathintayo basiliswah.

AbaFarisi lababhali basolwa ngenxa yezimiso zabo

15Kwasekufika kuJesu ababhali labaFarisi ababevela eJerusalemaa, bathi:

2 Kungani abafundi bakho besephula isikob labadalac? Ngoba kabagezi izandla zabo, nxa besidla isinkwa.

3 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Lani-ke kungani lisephula umlayo kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yesiko lenu?

4 Ngoba uNkulunkulu walaya, wathi: Hlonipha uyihlo lonyokod; lokuthi: Othuka uyise kumbe unina kumele afe lokufae;

5 kodwa lina lithi: Loba ngubani othi kuyise kumbe kunina: Kungumnikelof, loba yini evela kimi ingakusiza,

6 njalo engasoze amhloniphe uyise kumbe unina; ngalokho lenza umlayo kaNkulunkulug ube yize ngenxa yesiko lenuh.

7 Bazenzisi, uIsaya waprofetha kuhle ngani, esithi:

8 Lababantu basondela kimi ngomlomo wabo, langendebe bangidumise; kodwa inhliziyo yabo ikhatshana lamii.

9 Kodwa bangikhonza ngeze, befundisa izimfundiso eziyimilayo yabantuj.

10 Esebizele kuye ixuku, wathi kilo: Lalelani futhi liqedisise.

11 Kakusikho okungena emlonyeni okungcolisa umuntu; kodwa okuphuma emlonyeni, yikho okungcolisa umuntuk.

12 Abafundi bakhe basebesondela bathi kuye: Uyazi yini ukuthi abaFarisi bathe ukulizwa lelilizwi bakhubeka?

13 Kodwa waphendula wathi: Sonke isihlahlakazana, uBaba osezulwini angasihlanyelanga, sizasitshunwal.

14 Bayekeleni; bangabakhokheli beziphofu abayiziphofum; njalo nxa isiphofu sikhokhela isiphofu, zizawela emgodini zombilin.

15 UPetro wasephendula wathi kuye: Sichasisele lumfanekisoo.

16 UJesu wasesithi: Kanti lani lisengabangelakuqedisisap?

17 Lilokhe lingaqedisisi yini, ukuthi konke okungena emlonyeni kuya esiswini, futhi kuyelahlelwa ngaphandleq?

18 Kodwa izinto eziphuma emlonyeni zivela enhliziywenir; lezi ziyamngcolisa umuntus.

19 Ngoba enhliziywenit kuvela imicabango emibi, ukubulala, ubufebe, ukuphinga, ukweba, ukufakaza amanga, ukuhlambaza;

20 yizo lezozinto ezimngcolisayo umuntuu; kodwa ukudla ngezandla ezingagezwanga kakumngcolisi umuntuv.

Owesifazana weKhanani

21 UJesu wasesuka lapho, waya kungxenye zeTire lezeSidoniw.

22 Njalo khangela, owesifazana ongumKhanani ovela kuleyomikhawulo, wakhala kuye esithi: Nkosix, Ndodana kaDavida, akungihawukeley! Indodakazi yami ihlaselwe kubi lidimoniz.

23 Kodwa kamphendulanga ngalizwi. Basebesondela kuye abafundi bakhe bamncenga, bathi: Mxotshe, ngoba uyakhala ngemva kwethua.

24 Kodwa waphendula wathi: Kangithunywanga, ngaphandle kuzo izimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu yakoIsrayelib.

25 Kodwa weza wamkhonza wathi: Nkosi, ngisizec.

26 Kodwa waphendula wathi: Kakukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana, lokusiphosela izinjana.

27 Kodwa yena wathi: Yebo, Nkosi, kodwa lezinjana ziyadla okwemvuthuluka eziwa etafuleni labaninizod.

33 Abafundi bakhe basebesithi kuye: Sizazuza ngaphi enkangala izinkwa ezinengi kangaka, ukuthi zisuthise ixuku elikhulu kangaka?

34 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lilezinkwa ezingaki? Basebesithi: Eziyisikhombisa, lenhlanzana ezinlutshwanan.

35 Waselaya amaxuku ukuthi ahlale phansi emhlabathini.

36 Wasethatha izinkwa eziyisikhombisa lenhlanzio, esebongile wazihlephula, wazinika abafundi bakhe, labafundi ixuku.

37 Basebesidla bonke basutha; basebedobha imvuthu ezaziselep, izitsha eziyisikhombisa zigcwele.

38 Lalabo abadlayo babengamadoda azinkulungwane ezine, ngaphandle kwabesifazana labantwanaq.

39 Eseyekele amaxuku ahambar wangena emkhunjini, weza emikhawulweni yeMagadalas.

4 Isizukulwana esibi lesifebayo sidinga isibonakaliso; kodwa kasiyikunikwa isibonakaliso, ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. Wasebatshiya, wahambae.

UJesu ukhuza abafundi ngokungaqedisisi kwabo

14 Basebesithi: Abanye bathi: NguJohane uMbhabhathizir; labanye bathi: NguElijas; labanye bathi: NguJeremiya, kumbe ngomunye wabaprofethit.

15 Wathi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani?

16 USimoni Petro wasephendula wathi: Wena unguKristu, iNdodanau kaNkulunkulu ophilayov.

17 UJesu wasephendula wathi kuye: Ubusisiwew, Simoni ndodana kaJonax, ngoba inyama legaziy kakukwembulelanga lokhuz, kodwa uBaba osemazulwinia.

18 Lami-ke ngiyakutshela, ukuthi wena unguPetrob; laphezu kwalelidwala ngizalakha ibandla lamic, lamasango esihogo kawayikulehlulad.

19 Futhi ngizakunika izihluthulelo zombuso wamazulue; njalo loba yini ozayibopha emhlabeni, izakuba ibotshiwe emazulwini; njalo loba yini ozayithukulula emhlabeni, izakuba ithukululwe emazulwinif.

22 UPetro wasesiya laye eceleni waqala ukumkhuza esithi: Kakungabi kuwe1, Nkosi; lokhu kakusoze kwenziwa kuwe.

23 Kodwa yena watshibilika wathi kuPetro: Suka ngemva kwami, Sathanem, uyisikhubekiso kimin; ngoba kawucabangi izinto zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ezabantuo.

Ukuhlutshwa kukaJesu lokwabamlandelayo

24 UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandelep.

25 Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe izamlahlekelaq; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uzayithola;

26 ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu nxa ezuza umhlaba wonker, kodwa alahlekelwe ngumphefumulo wakhes? Kumbe umuntu uzanikanit kube lihlawulo lomphefumulo wakheu?

27 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izakuza ngenkazimulo kaYisev kanye lengilosi zayow, khona izavuza ngulowo lalowo njengokwenza kwakhex.

28 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufay, baze bayibone iNdodana yomuntu isiza embusweni wayoz.

Ukukhazimuliswa kukaJesu entabeni

17Lemva kwensuku eziyisithupha uJesu wathathaa uPetro loJakobe loJohane umfowabo, wasekhwela labo entabeni ende bebodwab.

2 Waseguqulwa isimo phambi kwabo, njalo ubuso bakhe bakhanya njengelanga, lezembatho zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya.

3 Futhi khangela, kwasekubonakala kubo uMozisi loElija, bekhuluma layec.

4 UPetro wasephendula wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, kuhle ukuthi sibe laphad. Uba uthanda, asakhe lapha amadumba amathathu, elinye ngelakho, lelinye ngelikaMozisi, lelinye ngelikaElijae.

5 Kwathi esakhuluma, khangela, iyezi elikhanyayo labasibekela; futhi khangela, ilizwi laphuma eyezinif, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayog; zwanini yonah.

6 Sebezwile abafundii, bawa phansi ngobuso babo, besaba kakhuluj.

7 Kodwa uJesu weza wabathinta wathik: Sukumani lingesabil.

8 Sebephakamisile amehlo abo, kababonanga muntu, ngaphandle kukaJesu yedwam.

9 Sebesehla entabenin, uJesu wabalaya, wathi: Lingatsheli muntu lowombono, ize ivuke kwabafileyo iNdodana yomuntuo.

10 Abafundi bakhe basebembuza bathi: Pho batsholoni ababhali ukuthi uElija ufanele ukufika kuqalap?

11 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: UElija uzafika kuqala isibili, uzabuyisela zonke izintoq;

12 kodwa ngitsho kini ukuthi uElija sewafika, kodwa kabamazangar, kodwa benza kuyes konke ababekuthandat; ngokunjalo leNdodana yomuntu izahlutshwa yibou.

13 Abafundi basebeqedisisa ukuthi wakhuluma labo ngoJohane uMbhabhathiziv.

Ukusiliswa komfana owayelesithuthwane

14 Kwathi sebefikile exukwini, kweza kuye umuntuw waguqa phambi kwakhe wathix:

15 Nkosi, akuhawukele indodana yami, ngoba ilesithuthwane iyahlupheka kakhulu; ngoba iwele kanengi emlilweni, futhi kanengi emanzini.

16 Njalo ngiyilethe kubafundi bakho, kodwa bebengelakho ukuyisilisay.

17 UJesu wasephendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo lesonakeleyoz, koze kube nini ngizakuba lani? Koze kube nini ngizalibekezelelaa? Mletheni kimi lapha.

18 UJesu waselikhuza, idimoni laseliphuma kuyo, umntwana wasesila kusukela kulelohola.

19 Abafundi basebesiza kuJesu bebodwa bathi: Kungani thina sehlulekile ukulikhupha?

20 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Kungenxa yokungakholwa kwenub. Ngoba ngiqinisile ngithi kinic: Aluba lilokholod olunjengohlamvu lwemasitedie, lizakuthi kulintaba: Suka lapha uye laphaya; njalo izasuka; futhi kaliyikwehlulwa luthof.

21 Kodwa loluhlobo kaluphumig ngaphandle kwangomkhulekoh langokuzila ukudlaij.

UJesu uphinda akhulume ngokuhlupheka kwakhe

22 Besahlezi eGalili, uJesu wathi kubok: INdodana yomuntu izanikelwa ezandleni zabantu,

23 njalo bazayibulala, kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu izavuswal. Basebedabuka kakhulum.

UJesu uthela umthelo

24 Kwathi sebefikile eKapenawumen, abemukela umthelo beza kuPetro bathi: Umfundisi wenu katheli yinio?

25 Wathi: Yebo. Esengenile endlini, uJesu wamandulela wathip: Ucabangani, Simoniq? Amakhosi omhlaba emukela kubani imfanelor kumbe imithelos? Kumadodana abo yini, kumbe kwabezizwe?

26 UPetro wathi kuye: Kwabezizwe. UJesu wathi kuye: Ngakho-ke amadodana akhululekile.

27 Kodwa-ke ukuze singabakhubekisit, hamba uye elwandle uphose ingwegwe, uthathe inhlanzi ezaphuma kuqala; kuzakuthi usuvule umlomo wayo uzathola imali1; uyithathe ubanike ibe ngeyami leyakhou.

UJesu ufundisa ngokuthobeka langezikhubekiso

18Ngalesosikhathi abafundi beza kuJesu, bathi: Kanti ngubani omkhulu embusweni wamazulu?

2 UJesu wasebizela kuye umntwana omncane wammisa phakathi kwaboa,

3 wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi liphendukeb libe njengabantwana abancane, kalisoze lingene embusweni wamazulu.

4 Ngakho lowo ozazithoba njengalumntwana omncane, nguye omkhulu embusweni wamazuluc.

5 Njalo loba ngubani owemukela abe munye umntwana omncane onje ebizweni lami, wemukela minad.

6 Kodwa loba ngubanie okhubekisa omunye walaba abancinyane abakholwa kimi, kungakuhle kuye ukuthi ilitshe lokuchola elikhulu lilengiswe entanyeni yakhe, abesetshoniswa enzikini yolwandlef.

7 Maye kuwo umhlaba ngenxa yezikhubekisog! Ngoba izikhubekiso zimele ukufikah; kodwa maye kulowomuntu, esifika ngaye isikhubekisoij!

8 Njalok uba isandla sakho kumbe unyawo lwakhol kukukhubekisa, kuqume ukulahlele khatshana lawem; kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni uyingini kumbe uyisiqhwala, kulokuthi ulezandla ezimbili kumbe inyawo ezimbili uphoselwe emlilweni olaphakaden.

9 Futhi uba ilihlo lakhoo likukhubekisa, likhuphe ulilahlele khatshana lawep; kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni ulelihlo elilodwa, kulokuthi ulamehlo amabili uphoselwe esihogweni somliloq.

10 Qaphelani lingadeleli omunye walaba abancinyaner, ngoba ngithi kini: Emazulwini ingilosi zabos zihlala zibona ubusot bukaBaba osemazulwiniu.

11 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu ize ukusindisav okwakulahlekilew.

Imvu elahlekileyo

12 Licabanganix? Uba umuntu othile elezimvu ezilikhulu, besekulahleka enye yazo, kazitshiyi yini ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye, ahambe ezintabeni ukuyadinga elahlekileyo?

13 Futhi uba kungenzakala ukuthi ayithole, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uthokoza ngayo kakhulu kulalezo ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye ezingalahlekangay.

14 Ngokunjalo kayisiyo intando kaYihlo osemazulwiniz ukuthi kubhubhe abe munye walaba abancinyanea.

Ukuphathwa kwabenza okubi

15 Kodwa nxa umfowenu ekona, hamba umsole phakathi kwakho laye lilodwab. Uba ekuzwa, umzuzile umfowenuc;

16 kodwa uba engakuzwa, thatha abe munye kumbe babe babili kanye lawe futhi, ukuze lonke ilizwi liqiniswe ngomlomo wabafakazi ababili kumbe abathathud;

17 njalo nxa esala ukubezwa bona, tshela ibandla; uba esala ukuzwa lalo ibandlae, kabe njengowezizwefg lomthelisi kuweh.

18 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Konke elizakubopha emhlabeni, kuzakuba kubotshiwe ezulwini; njalo konke elizakukhulula emhlabeni, kuzakuba kukhululiwe ezulwinii.

Ukukhuleka kwabahlanganyelayo

19 Njalo ngithi kini: Uba ababili benu bevumelana emhlabeni loba ngaluphi ulutho abalucelayoj, bazalwenzelwak nguBaba osemazulwinil.

20 Ngoba lapho ababili kumbe abathathu ababuthene khona ebizweni lami, ngikhona lapho phakathi kwabom.

Umfanekiso wenceku engelasihawu

21 UPetro wasemsondelela wathi: Nkosi, umfowethu uzangona kangaki, njalo ngimthethelelan? Kuze kube kasikhombisa yinio?

22 UJesu wathi kuye: Kangitsho kuwe ukuthi kuze kube kasikhombisa, kodwa kuze kube ngamatshumi ayisikhombisa aphindwe kasikhombisap.

23 Ngakho umbuso wamazulu ufananiswa lomuntu oyinkosi, owayethanda ukulandiselana lenceku zakheq.

24 Kwathi eseqalile ukulandisar, kwalethwa kuye enye elomlandu kuyo wamathalenta* azinkulungwane ezilitshumi.

25 Kodwa njengoba yayingelalutho lokuhlawula, inkosi yayo yalaya ukuthi ithengiswes, lomkayo labantwana bayo, lakho konke elakho, besekuhlawulwat.

26 Ngakho inceku yawa phansi imkhothamela, yathi: Nkosi, ngibekezelela, futhi ngizakuhlawula konke.

27 Inkosi yaleyonceku yasisiba lesihelo yayikhulula, yayixolela umlandu.

28 Kodwa yaphuma leyonceku yathola omunye oyinceku kanye layo, olomlandu kuyo wabodenariyo* abalikhulu, yambamba yamkhama, yathi: Ngihlawula okufaneleyo.

29 Ngakho oyinceku kanye layo wawa phansi ezinyaweni zayo wayincenga, wathi: Ungibekezelele, futhi ngizakuhlawula konkeu.

30 Kodwa yona kayivumanga, kodwa yasuka yayiphosela entolongweni, ize iwuhlawule umlandu.

31 Kwathi abayizinceku kanye layo bebona izinto ezazenzakele badabuka kakhulu; beza babikela inkosi yabo konke okwakwenzekile.

32 Inkosi yayo yasiyibizela kiyo yathi kiyo: Wena nceku embi, ngakuxolela wonke lowomlandu, ngoba wangincengav;

33 ngabe lawe kawumhawukelanga yini omunye oyinceku kanye lawe, njengoba lami ngakuhawukela?

34 Inkosi yayo yasithukuthela yayinikela kubahlukuluzi, ize ihlawule konke okufaneleyo kuyo.

35 Uzakwenza njalo kini laye uBaba osezulwini, uba lingathetheleli lowo lalowo umfowenu iziphambeko zabo ngenhliziyo zenuw.

Ukuhlalisana kwabathatheneyo

19Kwasekusithi uJesu eseqedile lawomazwia, wasuka eGalilib, weza emikhawulweni yeJudiya ngaphetsheya kweJodanic.

2 Amaxuku amakhulu asemlandela, wasewasilisa laphod.

3 Basebesiza kuye abaFarisi bemlinga, bathi kuye: Kuvunyelwe yini endodeni ukuthi yale umkayo ngaso sonke isizathoe?

4 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Kalifundanga yini ukuthi owabadabula kusukela ekuqaleni wabenza owesilisa lowesifazanaf?

5 Wasesithi: Ngenxa yalokhu indoda izatshiya uyise lonina, inamathele kumkayog; labo ababili bazakuba nyamanye.

6 Ngakho kabasebabili, kodwa sebenyamanye. Ngakho lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlanganisileyo kakungabi lamuntu okwehlukanisayoh.

7 Bathi kuye: Pho uMozisi walayelani ukunika incwadi yesehlukaniso, lokumalai?

8 Wathi kubo: Ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo zenu uMozisi walivumela ukwala omkenuj; kodwa kusukela ekuqaleni kwakungenjalo.

9 Kodwa ngithi kini: Loba ngubani owala umkakhe, ngaphandle kokufeba, abesethatha omunye, uyafeba; futhi othatha owaliweyo uyafebak.

10 Abafundi bathi kuye: Uba udaba lomuntu lomfazi lunjalo, akusizi ukuthathal.

11 Kodwa wathi kubo: Kakusibo bonkem abangalemukela lelilizwin, ngaphandle kwabakunikiweyoop.

12 Ngoba kukhona abathenwa, abazalwa benjalo kusukela esiswini sikanina; njalo kukhona abathenwa, abathenwa ngabantuq; kukhona futhi abathenwa, abazithenileyo ngenxa yombuso wamazulur. Lowo ongakwemukela lokho kakwamukeles.

Ukubusiswa kwabantwana abancane

13 Khona kwalethwa kuye abantwana abancane, ukuze abeke izandla zakhe phezu kwabo, akhuleket; kodwa abafundi babakhuza.

14 Kodwa uJesu wathi: Vumelani abantwana abancane, lingabenqabeli ukuza kimi; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ungowabanjeu.

15 Wasebeka izandla phezu kwabo, wasuka lapho.

Ijaha elinothileyo

16 Njalo khangela, kwasondela omunye wathi kuyev: Mfundisi olungileyo, ngizakwenzani okulungileyo, ukuze ngibe lempilo elaphakade?

17 Wasesithi kuye: Ungibizelani ngokuthi olungileyo? Kakho olungileyo, ngaphandle koyedwa, uNkulunkuluw. Kodwa uba uthanda ukungena ekuphileni, gcina imilayox.

18 Wathi kuye: Yiyiphi? UJesu wasesithi: Ungabulali; ungafebi; ungebi; ungafakazi amangay;

19 hlonipha uyihlo lonyokoz; njalo, wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wenaa.

20 Ijaha lathi kuye: Konke lokhu ngikugcinile kusukela ebutsheni bami; ngisaswelani?

21 UJesu wathi kulo: Uba uthanda ukuphelelab, hamba uthengise impahla zakho uphe abayangac, njalo uzakuba lempahla eligugu ezulwinid; njalo uze lapha, ungilandele.

22 Kodwa selizwile lelilizwi ijaha lasuka lidanile; ngoba lalilempahla ezinengi.

23 UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Onothileyo uzangena ngokulukhuni embusweni wamazulue.

24 Njalo futhi ngithi kini: Kulula ukuthif ikamela lingene ngentunja yenalithi, kulokuthi onothileyo angene embusweni wezulug.

25 Sebezwile abafundi bakhe bamangala kakhulu, bathi: Pho kungasindiswa bani?

26 Kodwa uJesu wabakhangela wathi kibo: Kubantu kakulakwenzekah, kodwa kuNkulunkulu zonke izinto zingenzekai.

Umvuzo wokuzidela

27 Khona uPetro waphendula wathi kuye: Khangela, thina sitshiye konke sakulandela; pho sizazuzanij?

28 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lina elingilandeleyo, ekuvuselelweni lapho iNdodana yomuntu isihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi senkazimulo yayok, lani lizahlala ezihlalweni zobukhosi ezilitshumi lambilil lahlulele izizwe ezilitshumi lambili zakoIsrayelim.

29 Laye wonke otshiye izindlu, kumbe abafowabo, kumbe odadewabo, kumbe uyise, kumbe unina, kumbe umkakhe, kumbe abantwana, kumbe amasimu, ngenxa yebizo lami, uzakwemukela ngekhulu, adle ilifa lempilo elaphakaden.

30 Kodwa abanengi abokuqala bazakuba ngabokucinao, labokucina ngabokuqalap.

Umfanekiso wezisebenzi zesivini

20Ngoba umbuso wamazulu ufanana lomuntu ongumninindlua, owaphuma ekuseni kakhulu ukuqatsha izisebenzi ziye esivinini sakheb;

2 esevumelene lezisebenzi ngodenariyo* ngosuku, wazithuma esivinini sakhe.

3 Wasephuma sekungaba lihola lesithathu*, wabona abanye bemi emdangeni bengenzi lutho;

4 lakulabo wathi: Yanini lani esivinini; njalo loba yini efaneleyo ngizalinika yona. Bahamba-ke.

5 Wabuya waphuma sekungaba lihola lesithupha* langelesificamunwemunye, wenza njalo.

6 Kwathi sekungaba lihola letshumi* lanye waphuma, wathola abanye bemi bengenzi lutho, wathi kubo: Limeleni lapha usuku lonke lingenzi luthoc?

7 Bathi kuye: Ngoba akulamuntu osiqatshileyod. Wathi kubo: Yanini lani esivinini, njalo lizakwemukela loba kuyini okufaneleyo.

8 Kwathi sekuntambama umninisivini wathi enduneni yakhee: Biza izisebenzi, uzibhadale iholo, uqale ngezokucina kuze kube ngezokuqalaf.

9 Kuthe befika abaqatshwa ngehola letshumi lanye ngulowo lalowo wemukela udenariyo.

10 Njalo sebezile abokuqala bacabanga ukuthi bazakwemukela okungaphezulu; kodwa labo bemukela udenariyo ngamunye.

11 Kwathi beyemukela bamsola umninindlug,

12 besithi: Labo abokucina basebenze ihola elilodwa, kodwa ubalinganise lathih esithwele ubunzima bosuku lokutshisai.

13 Kodwa ephendula wathi komunye wabo: Mngane, angikoni; kanti kawuvumelananga lami ngodenariyoj?

14 Thatha okwakho uhambe; ngiyathanda ukumnika lowokucina njengawek.

15 Kumbe angivunyelwa yini ukwenza engikuthandayo ngezinto zamil? Loba ilihlo lakho libi yinim, ngoba mina ngilungilen?

16 Kunjalo-ke abokucina bazakuba ngabokuqala, labokuqala ngabokucinao; ngoba banengi ababiziweyo, kodwa balutshwana abakhethiweyop.

UJesu ukhuluma ngokuhlupheka kwakhe

17 Kwathi uJesuq esesenyukela eJerusalema wathatha abalitshumi lambili bebodwa besendleleni, wathi kubor:

18 Khangelani, senyukela eJerusalemas, njalo iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa kubapristi abakhulu lakubabhali; besebeyilahlela ukufat,

19 bayinikeleu kwabezizwev ukuthi bayiyangise bayitshaye ngesiswepu bayibethelew; njalo ngosuku lwesithathu izabuya ivukex.

UJesu ukhuza amadodana kaZebediya

20 Kwasekusiza kuye uninay wamadodana kaZebediya kanye lamadodana akhez, waguqa wacela ulutho kuyea.

21 Wasesithi kuye: Ufunani? Wathi kuye: Tshono ukuthi la amadodana ami amabili ahlaleb, enye ngakwesokunene sakhoc, lenye ngakwesokhohlo, embusweni wakho.

22 Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi: Kalikwazi elikucelayo. Linganatha yini inkezo engizayinatha minad, njalo libhabhathizwe ngobhabhathizo engibhabhathizwa ngalo minae? Bathi kuye: Singakwenza.

23 Wasesithi kubo: Ngeqiniso lizayinatha inkezo yami, libhabhathizwe ngobhabhathizo mina engizabhabhathizwa ngalof; kodwa ukuhlala ngakwesokunene sami langakwesokhohlo sami, kayisikho okwami ukuphana ngakho, kodwa kungokwalabog abakulungiselweyo nguBabah.

Ubukhulu obuqotho

24 Kwathi sebezwile abalitshumi, bathukuthela ngezelamani ezimbili.

25 Kodwa uJesu wababizela kuye wathi: Liyazi ukuthi ababusi bezizwei bayazibusa ngobulukhuni, lezikhulu zisebenzisa amandla phezu kwazoj.

26 Kodwa akuyikuba njalo phakathi kwenu; kodwa loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngomkhulu phakathi kwenuk kabe yisisebenzi senul;

27 njalo loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu kabe yisisebenzi senu;

28 njengalokhu iNdodana yomuntu kayizanga ukukhonzwa, kodwa ukukhonzam, lokunika impilo yayo ibe lihlawulon labanengio.

UJesu usilisa iziphofu ezimbili

29 Kwathip bephumaq eJeriko, ixuku elikhulu lamlandelar.

30 Njalo khangela, iziphofu ezimbili zihlezi endleleni, sezizwile ukuthi uJesu uyadlula, zamemeza, zathi: Sihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavidas!

31 Ixuku laselizikhuza ukuthi zithule, kodwa zamemeza kakhulu, zisithi: Sihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavidat!

32 UJesu wasesima wazibiza, wathi: Lifuna ukuthi ngilenzeleni?

33 Zathi kuye: Nkosi, ukuthi amehlo ethu avuleke.

34 UJesu esesiba lesihelo wathinta amehlo azo; njalo amehlo azo ahle abuya abona, zasezimlandelau.

UJesu ungena eJerusalema

21Kwathi-ke sebesondele eJerusalemaa, sebefikile eBetfageb entabeni yeMihlwathic, khona uJesu wathuma abafundi ababili,

2 esithi kubo: Hambani liye emzaneni okhangelene lani, lizahle libone ubabhemi ekhulekiwe, lethole lilaye; libakhulule, libalethe kimi.

3 Futhi uba umuntu ekhuluma ulutho kini, lizakuthi: INkosi iyabaswela; njalo uzahle abathumele.

4 Njalo konke lokhu kwenzeka, ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethid, ukuthi:

5 Tshelani indodakazi yeSiyoni ukuthie: Khangela, iNkosi yakho iyeza kuwe, imnene igade ubabhemi, lethole inkonyana yenyamazana yokuthwalaf.

6 Abafundi bahamba-ke, benza njengalokhu uJesu wayebalayile,

7 baletha ubabhemi lethole, babeka izembatho zabo phezu kwabo, bamhlalisa phezu kwazog.

8 Lenengi lexuku lendlala ezalo izembatho endlelenih; labanye bagamula ingatsha zezihlahla, bazendlala endlelenii.

9 Lamaxuku ayehamba phambili lababelandela bamemeza, besithi: Hosana* kuyo iNdodana kaDavidaj! Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosik. Hosanal kweliphezulum!

10 Esengenile eJerusaleman umuzi wonke wanyakazela usithi: Ngubani loo?

11 Amaxuku asesithi: Lo nguJesu umprofethip, oweNazaretha yeGaliliq.

Ukuhlanjululwa kwethempeli

12 UJesu wasengena ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, wabaxotsha bonke ababethengisa lababethenga ethempelinir, wasegenqula amatafulas ababentshintshelana imalit, lezihlalo zalabo ababethengisa amajubau.

13 Wasesithi kubo: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yomkhulekov; kodwa lina liyenze ubhaluw lwabaphangix.

14 Kwasekufika kuye iziphofu leziqhuli ethempelini; wasezisilisa.

15 Kodwa abapristi abakhulu lababhali sebebonile izimangaliso azenzayo, labantwana bememeza ethempelini, besithi: Hosana eNdodaneni kaDaviday! bathukuthela,

16 basebesithi kuye: Uyakuzwa lokhu yini abakutshoyo laba? UJesu wasesithi kubo: Yebo; alikaze lifunde yini ukuthi: Emlonyeniz wezingane lowabamunyayoa uphelelise indumisob?

17 Wasebatshiya waphuma phandle komuzi esiya eBethani, walala khonac.

Ukuthukwa komkhiwa

18 Kwathi ebuyela emzini ekuseni, walambad;

19 kwathi ebona umkhiwa othile endleleni, wasondela kuwo, kodwa katholanga lutho kuwo ngaphandle kwamahlamvu wodwa; wathi kuwo: Kakungabe kusavela isithelo kuwe lanini. Njalo umkhiwa wahle wabuna.

20 Kwathi bebona lokhu abafundi bakhe bamangala, besithi: Umkhiwa uhle wabuna njanie?

21 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uba lilokholof, lingathandabuzi, kaliyikwenza lokhu okomkhiwa kuphelag, kodwa loba lisithi lakulintaba: Qutshunwa uphoselwe olwandle, kuzakwenzekah.

22 Njalo konke loba kuyini elikucelayo emkhulekweni, likholwa, lizakwemukelai.

Igunya likaJesu

23 Kwathi esengenile ethempelini, abapristi abakhulu labadala babantu basondela kuye esafundisaj, bathi: Izinto lezi uzenza ngaliphi igunya? Njalo ngubani okunike leligunyak?

24 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Lami ngizalibuza umbuzo ube munye; uba lingitshela lokhu, lami ngizalitshela ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya:

25 Ubhabhathizo lukaJohane lwavela ngaphi? Ezulwini kumbe ebantwini? Basebezindlisana, besithi: Uba sisithi: Ezulwini, uzakuthi kithi: Pho kalikholwanga kuye nganil?

26 Kodwa uba sisithi: Ebantwini, siyesaba ixukum; ngoba bonke bamphatha uJohane njengomprofethin.

27 Basebemphendula uJesu bathi: Kasazi. Wasesithi kubo: Lami kangilitsheli ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya.

Umfanekiso wamadodana amabili

28 Kanti licabanganio? Umuntu wayelamadodana amabili; waya kweyokuqala wathi: Mntanami, hamba, uyesebenza lamuhla esivinini samip.

29 Kodwa yaphendula yathi: Angifuni. Kodwa emva kwalokho yaphenduka, yahambaq.

30 Wasesiya kweyesibili watsho ngokunjalo. Yona-ke yaphendula yathi: Ngiyahamba, nkosi. Kodwa kayiyanga.

31 Yiyiphi kulawo amabili eyenza intando kayise? Bathi kuye: Eyokuqala. UJesu wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Abathelisir lezifebe bayangena embusweni kaNkulunkulu phambi kwenus.

32 Ngoba uJohane wafika kini ngendlela yokulunga, kalikholwanga kuyet; kodwa abathelisi lezifebeu bakholwa kuyev; kodwa lina selikubonile kaliphendukanga emva kwalokho ukuthi likholwe kuyew.

Umfanekiso wabalimi besivini

33 Zwanini omunye umfanekiso. Kwakukhona umuntu othile ongumninimuzix, owahlanyela isiviniy, wasibiyela ngothangoz, wagebha isikhameloa kuso, wakha umphotshongob, wasiqatshisa kubalimi, waya kwelinye ilizwec.

34 Kwathi sekusondele isikhathi sezithelo, wathuma inceku zakhe kubalimi, ukuze zemukele izithelo zakhe.

35 Abalimi basebezibamba inceku zakhe, enye bayitshayad, lenye bayibulalae, lenye bayikhanda ngamatshef.

36 Wabuya wathuma ezinye inceku ezinengi kulezokuqalag; basebesenza njalo kulezo.

37 Ekucineni wasethuma indodana yakhe kubo, esithi: Bazayihlonipha indodana yamih.

38 Kodwa abalimi sebeyibonile indodana bakhulumisana besithi: Le yindlalifai; wozani, siyibulale, njalo sibambe ilifa layoj.

39 Basebeyibambak bayiphosela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulalal.

40 Ngakho mhla kufika umninisivini, uzabenzani abalimi labo?

41 Bathi kuye: Uzababhubhisa kakubi labo ababim, njalo uzaqatshisa isivini kwabanye abalimi, abazamnika izithelo ngezikhathi zazon.

42 UJesu wathi kubo: Alikaze lifunde yini emibhalweni ukuthi: Ilitshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo eseliyinhloko yengonsi; lokhu yikwenza kweNkosi; njalo kuyamangalisa emehlweni ethuo?

43 Ngakho ngithi kini: Lizakwemukwa umbuso kaNkulunkulu, unikwe isizwe esithela izithelo zawop.

44 Lalowo owela phezu kwalelilitshe uzaphahlazwaq; kodwa loba ngubani eliwela phezu kwakhe lizamchobozar.

45 Kwathi abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi sebezwile imifanekiso yakhe bazi ukuthi ubekhuluma ngabo.

46 Kwathi sebedinga ukumbambas besaba amaxukut, ngoba ayemphatha njengomprofethiu.

Umfanekiso wedili lomtshado

22UJesu wasephendula wabuya wakhuluma labo ngemifanekisoa, wathi:

2 Umbuso wamazulu ufananiswa lomuntu oyinkosib, owenzela indodana yakhe idili lomtshadoc;

3 wasethuma inceku zakhe ukuthi zibize abanxusiweyo emtshadweni, kodwa kabavumanga ukubuyad.

4 Wabuya wathuma ezinye incekue, esithi: Batsheleni abanxusiweyo ukuthi: Khangelani, sengilungisile ukudla kwami kweminif, inkabi zamig lokunonileyo sekuhlatshiweh, izinto zonke sezilungile; wozani emtshadweni.

5 Kodwa kabananzanga, bazihambela, omunye ensimini yakhe, omunye ekuthengiselaneni kwakhe;

6 abaseleyo basebezibamba inceku zakhe baziphatha kubi bazibulalai.

7 Kodwa kwathi inkosi ikuzwa lokho yathukuthela, yathuma amabutho ayo yabhubhisa labobabulali, yatshisa umuzi waboj.

8 Yasisithi encekwini zayo: Umtshado usulungile, kodwa abanxusiweyo bebengafanelangak.

9 Ngakho yanini emahlanganweni ezindlela, njalo bonke elingabathola, libabizele emtshadweni.

10 Lezonceku zaseziphuma zaya ezindleleni zabutha bonke ezabatholayo, ababi kanye labalungileyo; indlu yomtshado yasigcwala ngabahleziyol.

11 Kwathi inkosi ingena ukukhangela ababehlezi ekudleni yabona khona umuntu owayengembathangam isembatho somtshadon;

12 yasisithi kuye: Mngane, ungene njani lapha ungelasembatho somtshadoo? Kodwa yena waqunywa umlomop.

13 Inkosi yasisithi ezincekwiniq: Mbopheni inyawo lezandla, limsuse limphosele emnyameni ongaphandle; lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyor.

14 Ngoba banengi ababiziweyo, kodwa balutshwana abakhethiweyos.

Umthelo kaKesari

15 Khona-ke abaFarisi basuka, bacebisana ngokuthi bangamthiya njani ekukhulumenit.

16 Basebethuma kuye abafundi babo kanye labakaHerodiu, besithi: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena uqotho, ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso, kawukhathaleli muntu, ngoba kawunanzi isimo sabantuv.

17 Ngakho sitshele, wena ucabangani? Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthelaw kuKesari, kumbe hatshix?

18 Kodwa uJesu ebazi ububi babo wathiy: Bazenzisi, lingilingelaniz?

19 Ngitshengisani imali yokuthela. Basebemlethela udenariyo*.

20 Wasesithi kubo: Ngokabani lumfanekiso lalumbhalo?

21 Bathi: NgokaKesari. Wasesithi kubo: Ngakho mnikeni uKesari izinto zikaKesari; loNkulunkulu izinto zikaNkulunkulua.

22 Kwathi sebezwile bamangala; bamtshiya bahambab.

Ukuvuka kwabafileyo

23 Ngalolosuku kweza kuye abaSadusic, abathi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyod, basebembuza,

24 besithi: Mfundisi, uMozisi wathi: Uba umuntu esifa engelabantwana, umfowabo uzamthatha umkakhe, amvusele umfowabo inzaloe.

25 Kwakukhona phakathi kwethu izelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala wasethatha umfazi wafa; futhi engelanzalo, watshiya umkakhe kumfowabo.

26 Kwaba njalo lowesibili, lowesithathu, kwaze kwaba kowesikhombisa.

27 Kwathi emva kwabo bonke kwafa lomfazi.

28 Ngakho ekuvukeni kwabafileyo, uzakuba ngumkabani kwabayisikhombisa? Ngoba bonke babelaye.

29 Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Liduhile, lingayazi imibhalof, loba amandla kaNkulunkulug;

30 ngoba ekuvukeni kwabafileyo kabathathani, kabendiswah, kodwa banjengengilosi zikaNkulunkulu ezulwini.

31 Kodwa mayelana lokuvuka okwabafileyoi, kalifundanga yini okwakhulunywa kini nguNkulunkulu, esithi:

32 Mina nginguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobej? UNkulunkulu kayisuye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa owabaphilayo.

33 Kwathi amaxuku ekuzwa amangala kakhulu ngokufundisa kwakhek.

Umlayo wokuqala

34 Kwathi abaFarisi, sebezwile ukuthi uJesu ubaqume umlomol abaSadusim, babuthana ndawonye.

35 Lomunye wabo, isazumthetho, wambuzan, emlinga, esithio:

36 Mfundisi, yiwuphi umlayo omkhulu emthethweni?

37 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, langomphefumulo wakho wonke, langengqondo yakho yonkep;

38 yiwo lowo umlayo owokuqala lomkhulu.

39 Lowesibili ufanana lawo uthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wenaq.

40 Kuleyomilayo emibili kumisiwe umthetho wonke labaprofethir.

UKristu losendo lwakhe

41 Kwathi sebebuthene abaFarisi, uJesu wababuza,

42 esithi: Licabangani ngoKristu? Uyindodana kabanis? Bathi kuye: NgekaDavidat.

43 Wathi kubo: Pho uDavida wambiza njani ekuMoya ngokuthi yiNkosiu, esithi:

44 INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakhov?

45 Ngakho uba uDavida embiza ngokuthi yiNkosi, uyiNdodana yakhe njani?

46 Njalo kwakungekho owayengamphendula ilizwiw; kusukela ngalolosuku kakwabe kusaba khona umuntu olesibindi sokumbuzax.

UJesu usola ababhali labaFarisi

23Khona uJesu wakhuluma emaxukwini lakubafundi bakhea,

2 esithi: Ababhali labaFarisi bahlezi esihlalweni sikaMozisi;

3 ngakho konke lokhu abalitshela khona ukuthi likugcine, kugcineni likwenze; kodwa lingenzi njengokwemisebenzi yabob, ngoba bayakhuluma bangenzic.

4 Ngoba bayabopha imithwalo enzima njalo elukhuni ukuthwalwa, bayibeke emahlombe abantu, kodwa kabafuni ukuyisusa ngomunwe wabod.

5 Njalo imisebenzi yabo yonke bayenza ukuze babonwe ngabantue; ngoba benza amafilakteriyu* abo abe banzif, njalo bakhulisa intshaka zezembatho zabog;

6 bathanda izihlalo zabahloniphekayo ekudleni kwantambamah, lezihlalo eziqakathekileyo emasinagogenii,

7 lokubingelelwa emidangenijk, lokubizwa ngabantu ngokuthi: Rabi*, Rabil.

8 Kodwa lina kalingabizwa ngokuthi Rabim; ngoba munye ongumfundisi wenu, uKristun; njalo lina lonke lingabazalwane.

9 Futhi lingabizi muntu emhlabeni ngokuthi nguyihloo; ngoba munye onguYihlo, osemazulwinip;

10 kalingabizwa ngokuthi lingabafundisiq; ngoba munye ongumfundisi wenu, uKristur.

11 Kodwa omkhulu kinis uzakuba yinceku yenut.

12 Lalowo oziphakamisayo, uzathotshiswa; lalowo ozithobayo, uzaphakanyiswau.

13 Kodwa maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisiv, ngoba livalela abantu umbuso wamazulu; ngoba kalingeni lina, labangenayo kalibavumeli ukuthi bangenew.

14 Maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisi, ngoba lidla izindlu zabafelokazi, langokuzenzisa lenza imikhuleko emide; ngakho lizakwemukela ukulahlwa okukhulux.

15 Maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisi, ngoba libhoda ulwandle lomhlaba ukuthi lenze abe munye ophendukela kumaJuday, kuthi nxa esenziwe njalo, limenze umntwana wesihogo ngokuphindiweyo kulaniz.

16 Maye kini, bakhokheli abayiziphofua, abathi: Loba ngubani ofunga ngethempeli, akulutho; kodwa loba ngubani ofunga ngegolide lethempeli, ulomlandub.

17 Zithutha leziphofuc! Ngoba yikuphi okukhulu, igolide, kumbe ithempeli elenza igolide libe ngcweled?

18 Njalo: Loba ngubani ofunga ngelathi, akulutho; kodwa loba ngubani ofunga ngomnikelo ophezu kwaloe, ulomlandu.

19 Zithutha leziphofu! Ngoba yikuphi okukhuluf, umnikelo, kumbe ilathi elenza umnikelo ube ngcweleg?

20 Ngakho ofunga ngelathi ufunga ngalo langakho konke okuphezu kwalo;

21 lofunga ngethempeli ufunga ngalo langaye ohlala kuloh;

22 lofunga ngezulu ufunga ngesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu langaye ohlala phezu kwasoi.

23 Maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisi, ngoba lithela okwetshumi kwetshwayi leganga ledile* lekhumini*j; liyekele okunzima komlayo, ukwahlulela lesihawu lokholo; belifanele ukwenza lezizinto, lingaziyekeli lalezok.

24 Bakhokheli abayiziphoful, likhetha umiyane, kodwa liginye ikamelam.

25 Maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisi, ngoba lihlambulula ingaphandlen yenkezo leyomganu, kodwa ngaphakathi kugcwele ukuphangao lobuhwabap.

26 MFarisi oyisiphofu! Hlambulula kuqala ingaphakathi yenkezo leyomganu, ukuze kuhlambuluke lengaphandle yakhoq.

27 Maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisir, ngoba lifanana lamangcwaba aconjwe aba mhlophe, abonakala emahle ngaphandle, kanti ngaphakathi agcwele amathambo abafileyos lokungcola konket.

28 Kunjalo lani ngaphandle libonakala ebantwini lilungile, kanti ngaphakathi ligcwele ukuzenzisa lobubi.

29 Maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisi, ngoba lakha amangcwaba abaprofethiu, licecise amangcwaba abalungileyov,

30 lithi: Uba besikhona ensukwini zabobaba bethu, besingayikuhlanganyela labo egazini labaprofethi.

31 Kunjalo liyazifakazela lina ukuthi lingamadodana alabo ababulala abaprofethiw;

32 lina-ke gcwalisanix isilinganiso saboyihloy!

33 Zinyoka, nzalo yamabululuz, lizaphepha njani ukulahlwa kwesihogoa?

34 Ngakho, khangelani, mina ngithuma kini abaprofethi labahlakaniphileyob lababhalic; labanye babo lizababulala libabetheled; labanye lizabatshaya ngesiswepu emasinagogenie enu libazingele imizi ngemizif;

35 ukuze kwehlele phezu kwenu igazi lonke elilungileyo elachithwa emhlabenig, kusukela egazini likaAbela olungileyoh, kuze kufike egazini likaZakariyai indodana kaBarakiyaj, elambulala phakathi kwethempelik lelathil.

36 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Zonke lezizinto zizakwehlela phezu kwalesisizukulwana.

UJesu ukhalela iJerusalema

37 Jerusalema, Jerusalemam, wena obulala abaprofethin njalo obakhanda ngamatshe labo abathunywe kuweo! Bengithanda kangakanani ukubuthela ndawonye abantwana bakho, njengesikhukhukazi sibuthela amatsiyane asop ngaphansi kwempiko, kodwa kalivumangaq.

38 Khangelani, indlu yenu itshiyiwe kini ilunxiwa.

39 Ngoba ngithi kini: Kalisoze langibona kusukela khathesi, lize lithi: Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosir.

UJesu ukhuluma ngokuchithwa kweJerusalema langokuphela kwesikhathi

24UJesu wasephumaa wasuka ethempelinib; basebesondela abafundi bakhe ukumtshengisa izakhiwo zethempeli.

2 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Kaliziboni yini zonke lezizinto? Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Akusoze kutshiywe lapha ilitshe elilodwa phezu kwelitshe, elingasoze lidilizelwe phansic.

3 Kwathi esehlezi entabeni yeMihlwathid, abafundi beza kuye bebodwa, bathi: Sitshele, lezizinto zizakuba ninie? Lesibonakaliso sokuza kwakho, lesokuphela kwesikhathi sizakuba yinif?

4 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Qaphelani, kungabi khona oliduhisayog;

5 ngoba abanengi bazakuza ngebizo lami, besithi: Mina nginguKristuh; futhi baduhise abanengii.

6 Njalo lizakuzwa ngezimpi lamahungahunga ezimpi; nanzelelani, lingethuki; ngoba konke lokhu kufanele kwenzeke; kodwa ukuphela kakukabi khonaj.

7 Ngoba isizwe sizavukela isizwek, lombuso uvukele umbusol; njalo kuzakuba khona indlala labomatshayabhuqe bezifo lokuzamazama komhlaba indawo ngendawom;

8 kodwa zonke lezizinto ziyikuqala kwemihelon.

9 Lapho-ke bazalinikelao ekuhluphekeni, balibulale; futhi lizazondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yebizo lamip.

10 Njalo ngalesosikhathi abanengi bazakhubekaq, banikelane, bazondane.

11 Futhi kuzavuka abaprofethi bamanga abanengir, baduhise abanengis.

12 Njalo ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabanengi luzaphola;

13 kodwa ophikelelayo kuze kube sekupheleni, nguye ozasindiswat.

14 Njalo lelivangeli lombusou lizatshunyayelwav emhlabeni wonkew kube yibufakazi ezizweni zonke; khona-ke kuzafika ukuphelax.

15 Ngakho nxa libona amanyala encithakalo, akhulunywa nguDaniyeli umprofethiy, emi endaweni engcwelez (obalayo kaqedisise)a,

16 khona labo abaseJudiya kababalekele ezintabeni;

17 ophezu kophahlab lwendluc angehli ukuthatha ulutho endlini yakhe;

18 losemasimini angabuyeli emuva ukuyathatha izembatho zakhe.

19 Kodwa maye kwabakhulelweyo labamunyisayo ngalezonsukud!

20 Kodwa khulekani ukuthi ukubaleka kwenu kungabi sebusika, loba ngesabatha.

21 Ngoba ngalesosikhathi kuzakuba khona ukuhlupheka okukhulue, okungazanga kube khona kusukela ekuqaleni komhlaba kuze kube khathesif, njalo okungasayikuba khonag.

22 Uba-ke lezonsuku bezingafinyezwanga, bekungesindiswe nyamah; kodwa ngenxa yabakhethiweyo lezonsuku zizafinyezwai.

23 Ngalesosikhathi nxa umuntu esithi kini: Khangelani, nangu uKristu, kumbe nanguya, lingakholwaj.

24 Ngoba kuzavuka okristu bamanga labaprofethi bamangak, benze izibonakaliso ezinkulu lezimangalisol, ukuze kuthi, nxa kungenzeka, baduhise labakhethiweyom.

25 Khangelani, sengilitshelile ngaphambili.

26 Ngakho uba bengathi kinin: Khangelani, usenkangala, lingaphumi; khangelani, usendlini yensitha, lingakholwao.

27 Ngoba njengalokhu umbane ubaneka empumalanga ukhanye lentshonalanga, kuzakuba njalo lokufika kweNdodana yomuntup.

28 Ngoba loba ngaphi lapho okukhona isidumbuq, lapho amanqe azakubuthana khonar.

29 Njalo masinyane emva kokuhlupheka kwalezonsukus, ilanga lizafiphazwa, lenyanga kayiyikupha ukukhanya kwayot, lenkanyezi zizakuwa ezulwini, lamandla amazulu azazanyazanyiswau.

30 Khona-ke sizabonakalav ezulwini isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntuw; njalo besezikhala zonke izizwe zomhlabax, sezibonay iNdodana yomuntuz isiza emayezini ezulua ilamandla lenkazimulo enkulub.

31 Njalo izathuma izingilosi zayoc lokukhala okukhulu kophondod, beseziqoqa abakhethiweyo bayo emimoyeni eminee, kusukela emkhawulweni omunye wamazulu kuze kube komunye umkhawulo wawof.

32 Kodwa fundani umfanekiso emkhiweni; nxa khathesi ugatsha lwawo selusiba buthakathaka, njalo luhlume amahlamvu, liyazi ukuthi ihlobo seliseduze;

33 ngokunjalo lani, nxa libona lezizinto zonke, yazini ukuthi kuseduze1 kuseminyangog.

34 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lesisizukulwana asisoze sidlule, kuze kwenzeke zonke lezizintoh.

35 Kuzadlula izulu lomhlabai, kodwa amazwi ami awasoze adlulej.

36 Kodwa lolosuku leholak kakho owaziyo ngalo, ngitsho lezingilosi zemazulwinil, ngaphandle kukaBaba kuphelam.

37 Kodwa njengensuku zikaNowa, kuzakuba njalo ukufika kweNdodana yomuntun.

38 Ngoba njengakulezonsuku ezaziphambili kukazamcoloo babesidla benatha, bethatha besendiswa, kwaze kwafika usuku uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjinip,

39 njalo babengazi, kwaze kwafika uzamcolo wasebasusa bonke, kuzakuba njalo lokufika kweNdodana yomuntu.

40 Ngalesosikhathi kuzakuba khona ababili ensimini; omunye athathwe, lomunye atshiyweq;

41 kuzakuthi abesifazana ababili bechola elitsheni; omunye athathwe, lomunye atshiywer.

42 Ngakho lindanis, ngoba kalazi ukuthi iNkosi yenu izafika ngaliphi iholat.

43 Kodwa yazini lokhuu, ukuthi uba umninindluv ebewazi umlindo isela elizafika ngawow, ubezalindax, futhi ubengayikuvuma ukuthi indlu yakhe ifohlelwey.

44 Ngakho lani hlalani lilungilez; ngoba ngehola elingalicabangiyo, iNdodana yomuntu izakuzaa.

55 Kwakukhona lapho abesifazana abanengi bebukelej bekhatshanak, ababemlandele uJesu bevela eGalilil, bemncedisam;

56 okwakukhona phakathi kwabo oMariya Magadalenan, loMariyao unina kaJakobe loJosep, lonina wamadodana kaZebediyaq.

Ukungcwatshwa kukaJesu

57 Kwathi sekuhlwiler, kwafika umuntu onothileyo evela eArimathiyas, ibizo lakhe linguJosefa, owayengumfundi kaJesu layet;

58 yena waya kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu. UPilatu waselaya ukuthi isidumbu asinikweu.

59 UJosefa wasethatha isidumbu wasigoqela ngelembu elicolekileyo elihlambulukileyo,

60 wasibeka engcwabeni lakhe elitshav, elaligujiwe edwaleniw; wasegiqela ilitshe elikhulu emnyango wengcwaba, wahambax.

61 Futhi kwakukhona lapho uMariya Magadalenay, lomunye uMariya, behlezi maqondana lengcwabaz.

62 Langosuku olulandelayo, olulandela olwamalungiseleloa, abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babuthana kuPilatu,

63 besithi: Nkosi, siyakhumbula ukuthi lowomkhohlisi esaphila wathib: Emva kwensuku ezintathu ngizavukac.

64 Ngakho laya ukuthi ingcwaba liqiniswe kuze kube lusuku lwesithathu; hlezi abafundi bakhe bafike ebusuku bamebe, besebesithi ebantwini: Uvukile kwabafileyo; kuthi inkohliso yokucina ibembi kuleyokuqala.

65 UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Lilabalindi; hambanid, liliqinise njengokubona kwenu.

66 Bahamba-ke baliqinisa ingcwabae, beliphawula ilitshef, belabalindig.

Ukuvuka lokuzibonakalisa kukaJesu

28Kwathi ekupheleni kwesabathaa, emadabukakusa kusiya osukwini lokuqala lwevikib, kwafika uMariya Magadalenac, lomunye uMariya, ukuzabona ingcwabad.

2 Futhi khangela, kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulue; ngoba ingilosi yeNkosi yehla ivela ezulwinif, yasondela yagiqa ilitshe yalisusa emnyango, yahlala phezu kwalog.

3 Lokubonakala kwayo kwakunjengombaneh, lesembatho sayo sasimhlophe njengeliqhwa elikhithikileyoi.

4 Abalindi basebethuthumela ngokuyesaba, baba njengabafileyoj.

5 Kodwa ingilosi yaphendula yathi kwabesifazana: Lingesabi lina; ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi lidinga uJesu obebethelwe;

6 kakho lapha; ngoba uvukilek, njengokutsho kwakhe; wozani libone indawo lapho iNkosi ebilele khona.

7 Hambani masinyane litshele abafundi bakhe ukuthi uvukile kwabafileyol; njalo khangelani, uzalandulela ukuya eGalilim; lizambona khona; khangelani, sengilitshelile.

8 Basebephuma engcwabeni ngokuphangisa belokwesaba lentokozo enkulun, bagijima baya ukubikela abafundi bakheo.

9 Kwathi besiyatshela abafundi bakhe, futhi khangela, uJesu wabahlangabeza, wathi: Mpilo enhlep! Basebesondela babamba inyawo zakheq, bamkhonzar.

10 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lingesabis; hambani, libikele abafowethut ukuthi baye eGalili, njalo bazangibona khonau.

11 Kwathi sebehamba, khangela, abanye kubalindi baya emzini babikela abapristi abakhulu konke okwenzakeleyov.

12 Sebebuthene labadala, benza icebo, banika abebutho imali enengiw,

13 besithi: Kalibokuthi: Abafundi bakhe beze ebusuku bameba silele thina.

14 Futhi uba lokhu kuzwakala kumbusix, thina sizamncenga, silenze lingabi senkathazweniy.

15 Basebethatha imali benza njengalokhu ababekufundisiwe. Lalelilizwi landa phakathi kwamaJudaz kuze kube lamuhlaa.

Ukulayezela kokucina kukaJesu

16 Kwathi abafundi abalitshumi lanye baya eGalili, entabeni uJesub ayebalayele yonac;

17 sebembonile bamkhonzad; kodwa abanyee bathandabuzaf.

18 UJesu wasesondela wakhuluma labo, esithi: Wonke amandla aphiwe mina ezulwini lemhlabenig;

19 ngakho hambanih lenze izizwe zonke zibe ngabafundii, libabhabhathizej ebizweni likaYise leleNdodana lelikaMoya oNgcwelek;

20 libafundise ukugcina konke engililaye khona; futhi khangelani, mina ngilanil insuku zonke kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi. Amenim.
