1 Vughasisile amanchuva sita u Yesu avatoliele pwu paninie numwene u Petro, nu Yakobo, nu Yohana ulunkhololwe, akhavahielikha ukhuluta ukhutogha khu kyamba eikhitali khuvutitu.
Lemva kwensuku eziyisithupha uJesu wathatha uPetro loJakobe loJohane umfowabo, wasekhwela labo entabeni ende bebodwa.
2 Khumiho khumwene khukhasyetuka khukava lumuli ndhu lwa linchuva. Emiendha gya mwene ghinkhang'ala ukhuta lumuli.
Waseguqulwa isimo phambi kwabo, njalo ubuso bakhe bakhanya njengelanga, lezembatho zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya.
3 Pwu, vakhahumiela u Musa nu Eliya valiekhunchova nu mwene.
Futhi khangela, kwasekubonakala kubo uMozisi loElija, bekhuluma laye.
4 U Petro akhamula, akhambula u Yesu, “Ntwa, ndalwiva lunonu ufywe ukhuva apha. Unghanongwe une pwuninchengha ifye violatu khiemo kyakho, khimo kya Musa, nie khinghe kya Eliya.”
UPetro wasephendula wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, kuhle ukuthi sibe lapha. Uba uthanda, asakhe lapha amadumba amathathu, elinye ngelakho, lelinye ngelikaMozisi, lelinye ngelikaElija.
5 Vu viphinchova, lola likhincha eiliviengho eilivalafu, liekhaviekha eikhiphe phenchela, puvu eilimenyu likhaphulienkhikha ukhuma khuliviengho, liekhanchova liekhata, “Uyu vie mwana vangho unghane uvienie nghaniele umwene, mumphuliehienchaghe umwene.
Kwathi esakhuluma, khangela, iyezi elikhanyayo labasibekela; futhi khangela, ilizwi laphuma eyezini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo; zwanini yona.
6 Avankhonghi va mwene vuvaphuliekhe ewo, vakhaghwa phasi valiekhufughafugha vakhadwda eino.
Sebezwile abafundi, bawa phansi ngobuso babo, besaba kakhulu.
7 U Yesu akhincha, akhaviebhata nu khunchova, “Mwieme mlekhe ukhundwada.”
Kodwa uJesu weza wabathinta wathi: Sukumani lingesabi.
8 Pwu vakhinula amiho ghavene khukyanya savakhakhivona khienu, vakhambona u Yesu mwene.
Sebephakamisile amehlo abo, kababonanga muntu, ngaphandle kukaJesu yedwa.
9 Vaviele vikhyikha ukhuma khukyamba u Yesu pwakhavavula akhata mkhielekhelwe ukhuvavula avanu nchincho munchiwene khunu, “Iemphakha umwana va Adamu alava inchukha ukhuhama khuvufwe.”
Sebesehla entabeni, uJesu wabalaya, wathi: Lingatsheli muntu lowombono, ize ivuke kwabafileyo iNdodana yomuntu.
10 Avankhonghi va mwene vakhambuncha vakhata, “Ulwa khuva khikhi avakhalani vinchova ukhuta, u Eliya alatala ukhwincha?
Abafundi bakhe basebembuza bathi: Pho batsholoni ababhali ukuthi uElija ufanele ukufika kuqala?
11 U Yesu akhavamunu akhunchova, “Lweli u Eliya itala ukhwincha umwene vyalavomba nchoni inchi.
UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: UElija uzafika kuqala isibili, uzabuyisela zonke izinto;
12 Hanghe nikhuvavula umwe ukhuta, u Eliya akhinchile, umwe samukhamanye. Pwu vakhambombile nchoni inchuvakhanoghwaghwa avane. Vulevule umwana va Adamu wayietesiwa ewo mumavokho ghavene.”
kodwa ngitsho kini ukuthi uElija sewafika, kodwa kabamazanga, kodwa benza kuye konke ababekuthanda; ngokunjalo leNdodana yomuntu izahlutshwa yibo.
13 Pwa avankhonghi vakhaluma ukhuta akhanchovagha inonghwa iencha Yohana Uvikhwoncha.
Abafundi basebeqedisisa ukuthi wakhuluma labo ngoJohane uMbhabhathizi.
14 Vuvafikhe pavanu avinghi, umunu yuomo akhandhutiela, akhafughama khuvulongholo khumwene, pwa khambula,
Kwathi sebefikile exukwini, kweza kuye umuntu waguqa phambi kwakhe wathi:
15 “Nkhuludeva nidhova, unanghe umwana vangho alienielighonchi likhughwisya mumwoto aphanghe mumaghasi linkhung'angha yiesya eno ietabhiekha.
Nkosi, akuhawukele indodana yami, ngoba ilesithuthwane iyahlupheka kakhulu; ngoba iwele kanengi emlilweni, futhi kanengi emanzini.
16 Niekhangheghile khuvankhonghi vakho vankhalemilwe ukhumphonia.
Njalo ngiyilethe kubafundi bakho, kodwa bebengelakho ukuyisilisa.
17 Pwu u Yesu akhanda akhata, “Umwe mwievaholwa yumwe samkhwidhikha, yuomwe muyaghile, nientamagha, numwe imphankha ndhieli? Mungheghe khulyune khunu.”
UJesu wasephendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo lesonakeleyo, koze kube nini ngilani? Koze kube nini ngilibekezelela? Mletheni kimi lapha.
18 U Yesu akhankhemela, iemepho nchikhahegha. Undhimi akhaphona unkhuhuma unsiekhe ghula.
UJesu waselikhuza, idimoni laseliphuma kuyo, umntwana wasesila kusukela kulelohola.
19 Pwu avankhonghi va Yesu vankhandutiela ukhuvutitu vakhambuncha vakhata, “Ufwe mbona tukhalemilwa ukhukhencha?”
Abafundi basebesiza kuJesu bebodwa bathi: Kungani thina sehlulekile ukulikhupha?
20 U Yesu akhavavula akhata, “Ulwa khuva ulywiedhinkho lweinyo ludhebhe. Mwiedhikhe nikhuvavula, inave mwiva nulwidhinkho ludhebe ndhie mbeyu iendhebe eiya haladali, ukhuta khiekheghe upwukhili pho khilelute phavunghe, kyophe khikhegha, ulwa khuva khiesikhuli eikhienu khiekyo eiyo ukhilemwa ukhuvombekha khulyumwe.
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Kungenxa yokungakholwa kwenu. Ngoba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Aluba lilokholo olunjengohlamvu lwemasitedi, lizakuthi kulintaba: Suka lapha uye laphaya; njalo izasuka; futhi kaliyikwehlulwa lutho.
21 (Ulwa khuva iemepho ndinchi sanchiwesya ukhuhegha, nchikhegho nukhudhova nukhufungha).
Kodwa loluhlobo kaluphumi ngaphandle kwangomkhuleko langokuzila ukudla.
22 Vuvakhale viphitama khu Galilaya, uYesu akhavavula avankhonghi vamwene akhata, “Umwana va Adamu iluta khuviekhiwa mumavokho aghavanu.
Besahlezi eGalili, uJesu wathi kubo: INdodana yomuntu isizanikelwa ezandleni zabantu,
23 Avanu avo vikhumbudha, haghe eilinchuva eilya dhatu alanchukha.'” Avankhonghi va mwene vasaghile ukhulutielila.
njalo bazayibulala, kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu izavuswa. Basebedabuka kakhulu.
24 Vuvafikhe khu Kapelnaumu, avasonghasongho iya nusu sekeli vakhandhutiela u Petro vakhata, “Nayu manyisi venu iehomba eisongho eiya nusu sekheli?”
Kwathi sebefikile eKapenawume, abemukela umthelo beza kuPetro bathi: Umfundisi wenu katheli yini?
25 Umwene vuinghile nunyumba, akhambuncha akhata wivuna ndakhikhi Simoni? Avakhuludeva avankhilungha aviephokhela isongho aphanghe ukhuhombencha ukhuhuma khwani? Khuvana vavene aphanghe khuvagheni?
Wathi: Yebo. Esengenile endlini, uJesu wamandulela wathi: Ucabangani, Simoni? Amakhosi omhlaba emukela kubani imfanelo kumbe imithelo? Kumadodana abo yini, kumbe kwabezizwe?
26 U Petro akhata, “Ukhuma khuvagheni” U Yesu akavavula, aviloleliwa muvakhenche ukhosongha eisongho.
UPetro wathi kuye: Kwabezizwe. UJesu wathi kuye: Ngakho-ke amadodana akhululekile.
27 Aphanghe uyoutukhuvaviekha avasongha songho ukhutula einonghwa lutagha khunyanja, ukhalole iendhovana, ukhatole eisomba eyietala ukhwincha. Akhieva vudhiendhula undhomo gwa yeene, uyuovukhuyie vona mula isekheli yiemo. Utole ukhavape avasongha songho yieva yangho nuve.
Kodwa-ke ukuze singabakhubekisi, hamba uye elwandle uphose ingwegwe, uthathe inhlanzi ezaphuma kuqala; kuzakuthi usuvule umlomo wayo uzathola imali; uyithathe ubanike ibe ngeyami leyakho.
