Matei 14
1 Gene mobhago a mpalume Elode gubhapilikene ngani ja a Yeshu.
Ngalesosikhathi uHerodi umbusi wezwa imibiko ngoJesu,
2 Bhai, gubhaalugulilenje bhatumishi bhabho, “Bhenebha a Yowana bhabhatisha bhashiyuka, pabha mashili gabho ganatenda ilapo.”
wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe, “Lo nguJohane uMbhaphathizi; usevukile kwabafileyo! Yikho izimangaliso zisenziwa nguye.”
3 Pabha a Elode bhashinkwaakamula a Yowana, nikwatabha kuligelesha kwa ligongo lya a Elodia, akongobhabho a Pilipi, apwabho.
UHerodi wayembophile uJohane, wamfaka insimbi, wamphosela entolongweni ngenxa kaHerodiyasi, umkamfowabo uFiliphu,
4 Pabha a Yowana bhashinkwaalugulila a Elode “Nngabha alali mmwe kwaalomba bhene bhakongwebho!”
ngoba uJohane wayelokhu esithi kuye, “Kungaphandle komthetho ukuthi umthathe.”
5 A Elode bhashinkupinga kwaabhulaga a Yowana, ikabheje bhashikwaajogopanga bhandunji, pabha bhamumanyinji kuti, a Yowana ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
UHerodi wayefuna ukumbulala uJohane kodwa wayesesaba abantu ngoba babesithi ungumphrofethi.
6 Lyubha lya shikukuu sha bhelekwa kwabho a Elode, mwali jwabho a Elodia ashinkuina pa bhajeninji. A Elode guyaanonyele,
Ngelanga lesikhumbuzo sokuzalwa kukaHerodi indodakazi kaHerodiyasi yasinela izethekeli, yamjabulisa kakhulu uHerodi
7 mpaka gubhalumbile kumpa mwalijo shoshowe shapinga juga.
waze wathembisa ngesifungo ukuyipha loba yini eyayingayicela.
8 Najwalakwe, akuno ajigenywe na akwabhe, gwashite, “Mmbe nnainope nshipeta, ntwe gwa a Yowana bhabhatisha.”
Isicetshiswe ngunina yathi, “Ngipha ikhanda likaJohane uMbhaphathizi lisemganwini.”
9 A Elode gubhainjishe, ikabheje kwa ligongo lya lumbila kwabho na ga bhajeninji, gubhaamulishe apegwe.
Inkosi yadana kakhulu kodwa kwathi ngenxa yezifungo zayo langenxa yezethekeli zayo yalaya ukuba isicelo leso senziwe,
10 Bhai, a Elode gubhantumile mundu kuligelesha akaakate ntwe a Yowana.
uJohane wahle waqunywa ikhanda entolongweni.
11 Ntwe gwabho guuishe guli nshiniya, gubhampele mwali jula, najwalakwe akwaapaga akwabhe.
Ikhanda lakhe lalethwa lisemganwini laphiwa intombazana eyalithwalela kunina.
12 Bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana gubhaikengenenje, gubhatolilenje maiti gala, gubhashishilenje. Kungai gubhapite kwaabhalanjilanga a Yeshu.
Abafundi bakaJohane beza bathatha isidumbu sakhe bayasingcwaba. Basebehamba bayatshela uJesu.
13 A Yeshu bhakapilikaneje ngani ja a Yowanajo, gubhajabhwile pepala na ntumbwi, gubhapite kujika kwangali bhandu. Ikabheje bhandu gubhamumanyinji, gubhaakagwilenje na makongono kukoposhela mwiilambo yabhonji.
UJesu wathi ekuzwa lokho okwenzakalayo wathi nyelele ngesikepe waya endaweni engelabantu. Amaxuku athi ekuzwa lokhu asuka emadolobheni amlandela ngenyawo.
14 Bhai, bhakaisheje kumbwani gubhaluweni lugwinjili lwa bhandu, gubhaabhonelenje shiya, gubhaalamiyenje bhalwele bhabhonji.
UJesu uthe esehla esikepeni wabona ixuku labantu elikhulu walizwela usizi ngakho wasesilisa abagulayo babo.
15 Ligulo, bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaajendelenje gubhaalugulilenje, “Putuli pano pa anga na ligulo liishe. Bhai, mwaalajilanje bhandunji bhajendangane kushijiji bhakaiumilanje shalya.”
Kwathi selithambeme abafundi beza kuye bathi, “Le yindawo ekhatshana kakhulu njalo sekuntambama. Wothi lababantu bahambe ukuze bayozithengela ukudla emizini.”
16 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Ikapinjikwa bhajendangane, mmanganyanji mwaapanganje shalya.”
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kakudingeki ukuthi bahambe. Bapheni lina ukudla.”
17 Na bhalabhonji gubhaalugulilenje, “Jitukwete mikate nng'anope na yamaki ibhili.”
Baphendula bathi, “Thina esilakho lapha yizinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili.”
18 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmbanganje yowe akuno.”
Wathi, “Kuletheni lapha.”
19 Gubhaamulishe bhandu bhatamangane mmanyai. Kungai a Yeshu gubhatolile mikate nng'ano jila na yamaki ibhili ila, gubhalolile kunnungu, gubhaatendele eja a Nnungu. Kungai gubhagebhenye mikate jila, gubhaapelenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, na bhalabhonji gubhaapelenje bhandunji.
Waselaya abantu ukuthi bahlale phansi phezu kotshani. Wathatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili wakhangela ezulwini wabonga, wasehlephuna izinkwa. Waseziqhubela abafundi, bazinika abantu.
20 Bhandu bhowe gubhalilenje, nijukuta. Kungai bhaajiganywa gubhakundikenyenje malepei gala, gubhagumbeyenje ikapu yaishoko likumi limo na ibhili.
Bonke badla basutha, abafundi bakhe babutha okuseleyo bagcwalisa izitsha ezilitshumi lambili.
21 Bhandu bhalilenje bhala pubhalinginji bhanabhalume elupu nng'ano, gwangali kwabhalanganishiyanga bhanabhakongwe na bhana.
Inani lalabo abadlayo lalingaba ngamadoda azinkulungwane ezinhlanu kungabalwa abesifazane labantwana.
22 Shangupe, a Yeshu gubhaamulishenje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakwelanje muntumbwi, bhalongolelanje jomboka litanda akuno bhalikwaalajilanga bhandunji.
Masinyane nje uJesu wathi abafundi bakhe bangene esikepeni bamandulele ngakwelinye iphetsheya, yena esavalelisana labantu.
23 Bhakaalajilanjeje bhandunji, gubhakwelile kushitumbi jikape kujuga Nnungu. Lyene ligulolyo pubhaliji jikape kweneko,
Esebakhulule, waya ewatheni lwentaba ukuyakhuleka eyedwa. Sekuhlwile ngalobobusuku wayekhonale eyedwa,
24 na gene malangago ntumbwi gula pugwaliji tome pakati pakati litanda, ikabheje gwatendaga komwa na mabhimbili pabha mbungo jatendaga puga kopoka mmujo jabhonji.
kodwa isikepe sasesihambe umango ukusuka okhunjini, siyaluziswa ngamagagasi ngoba sasiphikisana lomoya.
25 Shilo, tome na kumashelo, a Yeshu gubhaajendelenje bhaajiganywa bhalikwenda panani mashi.
Kwathi ngomlindo wesine ebusuku uJesu waya kubo ehamba phezu kwechibi.
26 Bhaajiganywa bhabho bhaakabhonanjeje bhalikwenda pantundu mashi gubhajogopenje kwa kaje, gubhashitenje, “Lioka!” Gubhajobhelenje bhalijogopanga.
Kwathi abafundi bembona ehamba phezu kwechibi besaba kakhulu. Bakhala ngokwesaba bathi, “Lithonga.”
27 Shangupe, a Yeshu gubhabhelekete nabhonji, “Mwiilumanje ntima, ni nne. Nnajogopanje!”
Kodwa uJesu waphanga wathi kubo, “Manini isibindi! Yimi. Lingesabi.”
28 A Petili gubhaalugulile, “Mmakulungwa, ibhaga kweli mmwe, nnugulile nyiye kweneko pantundu mashi.”
UPhethro waphendula wathi, “Nkosi, nxa kunguwe, tshono ukuba ngize kuwe phezu kwamanzi.”
29 A Yeshu gubhashite, “Ayaga, nnjiye.” A Petili gubhatulwishe muntumbwi mula gubhatandwibhe kwenda panani mashi, bhalikwaajendela a Yeshu.
Wathi, “Woza.” Khonapho uPhethro wasephuma esikepeni, wahamba phezu kwamanzi weza kuJesu.
30 Ikabheje bhakajibhoneje mbungo jila, bhakujogopaga, gubhatandwibhe titimila, gubhagutile nguto, “Mmakulungwa, nndapule!”
Kodwa wathi ebona umoya wesaba, kwathi eseqala ukutshona wakhala wathi, “Nkosi, akungisize!”
31 Penepo a Yeshu gubhagolweye nkono gwabho, gubhaakamwile nikwaalugulila, “Mmwe nkwete ngulupai jishoko! Pakuti mwangakulupalila malobhe gangu?”
Khonokho uJesu welula isandla sakhe wambamba. Wathi kuye, “Wena olokholo oluncinyane, kungani uthandabuzile?”
32 Kungai gubhakwelilenje muntumbwi mula, na mbungo jila jikupumulaga.
Bonela ukungena esikepeni umoya wathula.
33 Bhowe bhalinginji muntumbwi mula guhaatindibhalilenje, bhalinkutinji, “Kweli mmwe ni Bhanabho a Nnungu.”
Kwathi labo ababesesikepeni bamkhonza bathi, “Ngempela uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.”
34 Gubhajombokenje litanda, gubhaikengenenje kushilambo sha Geneshaleti.
Bathi sebechaphile, bafikela eGenesaretha.
35 Bhandunji bha kwekula bhakamumanyanjeje, gubhashumiyenje nganijo mmbali yowe. Bhai gubhaapeleshelenje a Yeshu bhalwelenji bhowe,
Kwathi amadoda akuleyondawo semnanzelele uJesu athumela ilizwi kuwo wonke umango wakulelo dolobho. Abantu baletha bonke abagulayo babo kuye
36 gubhaashondelesheyenje bhaalekanje bhaakwayanje nkali libhiniko lya ngubho jabho. Na bhowe bhaakwashiyenje gubhalamilenje.
bamncenga ukuthi avumele labo abagulayo ukuthi bathinte nje umphetho wesigqoko sakhe, kwathi bonke labo abamthintayo basiliswa.
