Bakaambula aakati kabo, kabati, “Twati, 'Kuzwa kujulu', ulati, 'Naambo nzi nimwakatamusyoma?'
6 Kodwa singathi, ‘Kwakuvela ebantwini,’ abantu bonke bazasikhanda ngamatshe ngoba bakholwa ukuthi uJohane wayengumphrofethi.”
Pesi twati, 'Luzwa kumuntu,' bantu balatutulula mabwe nkaambo bazi kuti Joni wakali musinsimi.”

9 Waseqhubeka ngokutshela abantu umzekeliso lo wathi: “Indoda yahlanyela isivini yasiqhatshisa abanye abalimi, yasihamba okwesikhathi eside.
Wakaambila bantu chikozyanisyo eechi, “Umwi mwaalumi wakabyala chiilili chama sansa, mpawo wakawubikka mumaboko anbaabo balima masansa waya kulimbi nyika kwachiindi chilamfu.
10 Ngesikhathi sokuvuna yathuma inceku yayo kubaqhatshi besivini ukuze bayiphe ingxenye yezithelo zesivini. Kodwa abalimi bayitshaya, bayixotsha ingaphathanga lutho.
Muchiindi chakasalwa, wakatuma mubelesi wakwe kulibasimuunda. Pesi basimuunda mbakamuuma akutanda katakwe chintu.
11 Yathuma enye inceku kodwa laleyo bayitshaya bayiphatha kabuhlungu, bayixotsha ingaphathanga lutho.
Wakatuma lubo umbi mubelesi mpawo bakamuuma, akumunyansya akmutanda lubo katakwe chintu.
12 Waphinda wathuma eyesithathu, bayilimaza bayiphosela phandle.
Wakatuma lubo uumbi watatu alimwi bakamuchisa, akumutandila aanze.
13 Umninisivini wasesithi, ‘Ngenzeni? Ngizathuma indodana yami engiyithandayo; mhlawumbe bazayihlonipha.’
Aboobo mwami wachilili wakati, 'Ndilachita biyeni? Ndilatuma mwandu wangu ngweyandisya amwi balikuyomulemeka.'
14 Kodwa kwathi abaqhatshi besivini beyibona, bahlanganisa amakhanda ngaleyondaba. Bathi, ‘Le yindlalifa. Kasiyibulaleni, ilifa libe ngelethu.’
Pesi nibakamubona, bakaambula aakato kabo, kabati, 'Ooyu ngosili lukono. Atumujaye kuchitila kuti lukono lube lwesu.'
15 Basebeyikhuphela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala. Kambe umninisivini uzabathini?
Bakamusowela kunze kwalubaya, mpawo bamujaya. Niinzi lino nchabatachite mwani muunda?
16 Uzakuza afike ababulale labo baqhatshi besivini, isivini leso asinike abanye abalimi.” Abantu bathi bekuzwa lokhu bathi, “Sengathi lokhu kungaze kwafa kwenzeka!”
Ulasika azobajaye boonse balimi nbamasansa, mpawo ape muunda kuli bamwi.” Nibakamvwa eezyo bakati, “Inche atazizumini pe Leza kuti zibe oobo!”
17 UJesu wabathi nhlo, wabuza wathi, “Pho kutshoni lokho okubhalwe ukuthi: ‘Ilitshe elalahlwa ngabakhi seliyilona ilitshe lekhoneni?’
Pesi Jesu wakabalanga, wati, “Aambaanzi malembe aaya? 'Bbwe ndibakaka bayaki, lyakazoba ndilyo lyakazooba bbwe lya chooko'?
18 Wonke owela phezu kwalelolitshe uzachobozeka abe yizicucu, kodwa lowo eliwela phezu kwakhe uzahlifizwa.”
Woonse uuwoda abbwe eelyo uyyotyoloolwa muzimpanzi. Pesi ooyo ngujliyoowida, liyoomu pwaya
19 Abafundisi bomthetho labaphristi abakhulu badinga indlela yokumbopha masinyane ngoba babesazi ukuthi wakhuluma umzekeliso lo eqonde bona. Kodwa babesesaba abantu.
Aboobo balembi bamulaw abapayizi bapatgi bakayanda kutgi bamujate muchiindi nchicheecho, nkaambo bakalizi kuti wakaambula chikozyanisyo eechi kaamba mbabo. Pesi bakayoowa bantu.
20 Bamthumela inhloli ezazizitshaya ezithembekileyo ukuze zimgolombe. Babefisa ukumbeka icala kokunye ayengakukhuluma ukuze bamedlulisele emandleni ombusi.
Nibakamulangisisya obotu obotu, bakamutumina bantu bakali kulyeeneenia mbuli basalali, kuti bamuyandwiide mpatabisye kwaambuula, kuchitila kuti bamupede kabotu kulibasimilawu akumulawu wamweendelezi.
21 Ngakho inhloli zambuza zathi, “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena ukhuluma njalo ufundisa okuqondileyo lokuthi kawubandlululi kodwa ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso elipheleleyo.
Bakabuzya kulinguwe bati, “Muyiisyi, tulizi kuti wambuula akuyiisya choonzyo, alimwi toktobelezyi mizeezo yabantu pe, pesi uyiisya choonzyo aatala anzila ya Lez.
22 Kufanele yini ukuthi sithele imithelo kuKhesari loba hatshi?”
Chili mumulawu na kuti tubbadale mitelo kuli Siza nape?”
23 Wabubona ubuqili babo wathi kubo,
Pesi Jesu wakalumvwisisisya lweeno lwabo, mpawo wakati kulimbabo,
24 “Ngitshengisani idenari. Kulomfanekiso kabani lombhalo kabani kuyo?” Baphendula bathi, “NgokaKhesari.”
“Amunditomndeezye kobili. Mbusyu azina lyani lilembedwe mpawo?” Bakaamba kuti, 'Nzizya siza.”
25 Wathi kubo, “Ngakho nikani uKhesari okungokukaKhesari, linike uNkulunkulu okungokukaNkulunkulu.”
Wakati kulimbabo, “Akboobo amupe kuli Siza zintu zya Siza, akuli Leza zointu zya Leza.”
26 Behluleka ukumbamba ngalokho akutshoyo lapho obala. Sebemangaliswe yimpendulo yakhe bathula zwi.
Bakakachilwa nbulewusi muli nzyakaamba kunembo lyabantu. Bakayimikila akugamba aatala anandulo yakwe alimwi taakwe chimbi nchibakaamba.
27 Amanye amaSadusi athi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo eza kuJesu elombuzo.
Lino ma Sadiusi nibakasika kulinguwe, aabo baamba kuti takukwe bubuke kubafu,
28 Athi, “Mfundisi, uMosi wasibhalela ukuthi nxa umfowabo wendoda angafa atshiye umfazi, kodwa bengelabantwana, umfowabo kumele amngene umfelokazi ukuze azalele umfowabo abantwana.
bakamubuzya bati, “Muyisyi, Molzesi wakatulembela kuti na mukulana wamwaalumi wafwa, kali walikwete, pesi katakwe mwana, ooyo mwanike weelede kukwata bana mukulana azyalile mukulana mwana.
29 Manje kwakulabafowabo abayisikhombisa. Owokuqala wathatha umfazi kodwa wafa engelamntwana.
Kwakali bananyina bali kmusanu ababili, alimwi wakusanguna wakakwata, mpawo wakafwa katakwe mwana pe,
30 Owesibili
awabili lubo.
31 njalo lowesithathu laye wamthatha, bonke boyisikhombisa benza njalo bafa bengatshiyanga bantwana.
Watatu wakanjila munda, aboobo boonse musanu ababili bakanjla mung'anda pesi boonse bakafwa taakwe wakasiya mwana pe.
32 Ekucineni umfazi laye wafa.
Musule wakazoofwa alakwe mwanakazi.
33 Pho-ke, ekuvukeni kwabafileyo uzakuba ngumkabani njengoba bonke boyisikhombisa babemthethe?”
Lino kububuke, uyooba mwanakazi wanu? Nkaambo boonse kabali musanu ababili bakali mukwete.”
34 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Abantu balesisikhathi bayathatha njalo bayendiswa. (aiōn g165)
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Bana balombe banyika iino balakwata alimwi balapegwa mulukwatano. (aiōn g165)
35 Kodwa labo abazabe befanele ukuba lengxenye kulesosikhathi lasekuvukeni kwabafileyo kabazukuthatha loba bendiswe, (aiōn g165)
Pesi aabo bataka[jane bulemu bwakutambula kubuka kubafu taakwe nibatakakwate na kupegwa mulukwatano. (aiōn g165)
36 njalo kabasayikufa ngoba sebenjengezingilosi. Bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, ngoba bengabantwana bokuvuka kwabafileyo.
Tabakoyoofwa alimbi, nkaambo banooli bakozyania abangelo alimwi mbana ba Leza nkaambo mbana babubuke.
37 Kodwa emlandweni wesixuku esasibhebha umlilo, uMosi laye wakuveza ukuthi abafileyo bayavuka, ngoba ubiza uThixo ngokuthi ‘uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakhobe.’
Pesi abalabo bafwide bazobusigwa, alakwe Mozesi wakatondeezya kubusena bwalusaka, awo nayita kuti Leza wa Abbulahamu a Leza wa Ayizeki a Leza wa Jakobo.
38 KasuNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa owabaphilayo, ngoba kuye bonke bayaphila.”
Lino tachili Leza wabafwide pe, pesi wabawumi, nkaambo boonse bapona kulinguwe.
39 Baphendula abanye abafundisi bomthetho bathi, “Utsho kahle Mfundisi!”
Bamwi balembi bamulawu bakasandula bati, “Muyiisyi wasandula kabotu.”
40 Kasabanga khona owaba lesibindi sokumbuza eminye imibuzo.
Nkaambo taakwe nibakachilikuyanda kweezya kumubuzya lubo iimbi mibuzyo.
41 UJesu wasesithi kubo, “Kungani besithi uKhristu uyiNdodana kaDavida na?
Jesu wakatghji kulimbabo, “Baamba biyeni kuti Kkilisito mwana wa Davida?
42 UDavida yena ngokwakhe uyakufakaza eNcwadini yamaHubo uthi: ‘INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: “Hlala ngakwesokunene sami,
Nkaambo Davida lwakwe mu Bbjuku lya Ntembawuzyo waamba kuti, Mwami wakati ku Mwami wangu, 'Kkala kululyo lwangu,
43 ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisinyathelo senyawo zakho.”’
mane ndikachite basinkondo nyokwe bakabe kunsi aamawulu aako'
44 UDavida umbiza athi ‘Nkosi.’ Pho angaba yindodana yakhe njani?”
Aboobo Davida wiita Kkilisito kuti 'Mwami', mpo mwana wa Davida biyeni?”
45 Kwathi bonke abantu besalalele, uJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe,
Kabamvwide bantu boonse wakati kulibasikwiiya bakwe,
46 “Limukani abafundisi bomthetho. Bathanda ukuhambahamba becece ngezembatho ezinde eziphephezelayo njalo bathanda ukubingelelwa emisikeni, futhi bathatha izihlalo eziphakemeyo emasinagogweni lezindawo zabahlonitshwa emadilini.
“Amubaschenjelele balembi bamilawu, bayanisya kweenda kabazweete majansi malamfu, kabayanda kujuzigwa kulinsini muzisambalilo, azyuuno zipati muzikombelo azyuuno zisumpukide kumapobwe.
47 Bahuquluza izindlu zabafelokazi njalo bazibonakalisa ngokwenza imikhuleko emide. Abantu abanjalo bazajeziswa kabuhlungu.”
Balatola maanda aabamukabafu, akweeneena kumchita nkombyo ndamfu. Aba bayotambula kunyonyoonwa kupati.”
