1 Ngelinye ilanga kwathi efundisa abantu ethempelini, etshumayela ivangeli, abaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho, kanye labadala bebandla beza kuye.
Nabumbi busuba Yesu mpwalikwiyisha nekukambauka Mulumbe Waina mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, bamakulene beshimilumbo, beshikwiyisha Milawo kayi ne bamakulene ba Bayuda balesa.
2 Bathi, “Ake usitshele ukuthi uwathatha ngaphi amandla okwenza lezizinto. Ngubani okunike amandla la?”
Balepusheti, “Kotwambila, nomba ningofucini nshokute pakwinsa bintu ibi? Wakupa ngofu shakwinsa ibi bintu niyani?”
3 Waphendula wathi, “Lami ngizalibuza umbuzo. Ngitshelani,
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nenjame ndamwipushunga mwipusho umo. Kamungambilani,
4 ukubhaphathiza kukaJohane kwakuvela ezulwini loba ebantwini na?”
Nomba niyani walapa Yohane ngofu shakubatisha? Sena ni Lesa nambi nibantu?”
5 Bahlanganisa amakhanda bathi, “Singathi, ‘Kwakuvela ezulwini,’ uzabuza athi, ‘Kungani lingazange limkholwe?’
Nabo balatatika kwipushana bonka eti, “Na twambeti, ni Lesa, nendi natwipusheti, ‘Nomba nicani muliya kumushoma?
6 Kodwa singathi, ‘Kwakuvela ebantwini,’ abantu bonke bazasikhanda ngamatshe ngoba bakholwa ukuthi uJohane wayengumphrofethi.”
Lino na twambeti, nibantu, bantu bonse nibatuwale mabwe pakwinga bacinsheti Yohane walikuba mushinshimi.”
7 Ngakho baphendula bathi, “Kasikwazi ukuthi kwakuvela ngaphi.”
Neco balakumbuleti, “Nkatucinshi na walashifunya kupeyo.”
8 UJesu wathi, “Lami kangizukulitshela ukuthi lezizinto ngizenza ngawaphi amandla.”
Lino Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nenjame anu nteshi ndimwambile uyo walampa ngofu shakwinsa bintu ibi.”
9 Waseqhubeka ngokutshela abantu umzekeliso lo wathi: “Indoda yahlanyela isivini yasiqhatshisa abanye abalimi, yasihamba okwesikhathi eside.
Lino Yesu walapitilisha kubambila bantu mukoshanyo eti, Kwalikuba muntu walalima libala lyaminyansa ne kulibwelekesha balimi, lino walaya pabulwendo bwa kucishi nacimbi, uko nkwalekala cindi citali.
10 Ngesikhathi sokuvuna yathuma inceku yayo kubaqhatshi besivini ukuze bayiphe ingxenye yezithelo zesivini. Kodwa abalimi bayitshaya, bayixotsha ingaphathanga lutho.
Mpocalashika cindi cakutebula bisepo, muntu uyo, walatuma musebenshi wakendi kubalimi abo kwambeti bamupeko bisepo byamulibala lyakendi. Nsombi balimi abo balekata musebenshi uyo nekumuma nekumutandanya kwabula kumupapo kantu.
11 Yathuma enye inceku kodwa laleyo bayitshaya bayiphatha kabuhlungu, bayixotsha ingaphathanga lutho.
Mwine libala walatumako naumbi musebenshi. Neye balamuma, ne kumusebanya, kayi nekumutandanya kwakubula kantu mumakasa.
12 Waphinda wathuma eyesithathu, bayilimaza bayiphosela phandle.
Lino walatumako naumbi wabutatu, nsombi neye balamupwayaula nekumutaila kunsa.
13 Umninisivini wasesithi, ‘Ngenzeni? Ngizathuma indodana yami engiyithandayo; mhlawumbe bazayihlonipha.’
Lino mwine libala uyo walambeti, “Ninjiseconi lino? Anu nintumeko mwaname ngonsunishi mpani nendi nibenga bamupe bulemu.”
14 Kodwa kwathi abaqhatshi besivini beyibona, bahlanganisa amakhanda ngaleyondaba. Bathi, ‘Le yindlalifa. Kasiyibulaleni, ilifa libe ngelethu.’
Nsombi balimi abo mpobalamubona, balatatika kwambilaneti, “Uyu endiye weshi akapyane buboni bonse, katumushina kwambeti buboni bonse bukabe bwetu.”
15 Basebeyikhuphela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala. Kambe umninisivini uzabathini?
Neco balamukwelela pansa pa libala nekumushina. Lino Yesu walabepusheti, “Nomba nicani nceshi akense mwine libala kubalimi abo?
16 Uzakuza afike ababulale labo baqhatshi besivini, isivini leso asinike abanye abalimi.” Abantu bathi bekuzwa lokhu bathi, “Sengathi lokhu kungaze kwafa kwenzeka!”
Nakese akubashina balimi abo nekupa bambi libala ilyo.” Bantu basa mpobalanyumfweco balambeti, “Citakenshika.”
17 UJesu wabathi nhlo, wabuza wathi, “Pho kutshoni lokho okubhalwe ukuthi: ‘Ilitshe elalahlwa ngabakhi seliyilona ilitshe lekhoneni?’
Yesu walabalangishisha nekubepusheti, lino malembo ayo akute kwamba cani? “Libwe ilyo ndyobalakana beshikwibaka, lyalaba elibwe lya pakona pa ng'anda lyayandika.
18 Wonke owela phezu kwalelolitshe uzachobozeka abe yizicucu, kodwa lowo eliwela phezu kwakhe uzahlifizwa.”
Muntu uliyense weshi akawile pa libwe ili nakatyokauke. Nsombi uyo weshi likamulakile, nakasansauke.”
19 Abafundisi bomthetho labaphristi abakhulu badinga indlela yokumbopha masinyane ngoba babesazi ukuthi wakhuluma umzekeliso lo eqonde bona. Kodwa babesesaba abantu.
Beshikwiyisha Milawo ne bamakulene beshimilumbo bali kuyanda kwikata Yesu pacindi copeleco pakwinga balenshibeti Yesu walikwamba endibo mumukoshanyo uyo. Nsombi balatina bantu balikubapo.
20 Bamthumela inhloli ezazizitshaya ezithembekileyo ukuze zimgolombe. Babefisa ukumbeka icala kokunye ayengakukhuluma ukuze bamedlulisele emandleni ombusi.
Neco nabo balikabalangaula cindi caina, balatuma bantu kwambeti bamweleshe, palikulibonesheti balulama mung'ambilo yabo kwambeti bamuteye kose mukwamba, kwambeti benga bamubepeshele kuli bendeleshi, pakwinga neye walikukute ngofu ne bwendeleshi bonse.
21 Ngakho inhloli zambuza zathi, “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena ukhuluma njalo ufundisa okuqondileyo lokuthi kawubandlululi kodwa ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso elipheleleyo.
Bantu abo balepusha Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, tucinshi kwambeti mukute kwamba ne kwiyisha byalulama. Nkamukute kulanga eti uyu niyani. Nsombi mukute kwiyisha Milawo ya Lesa cancine ncine.
22 Kufanele yini ukuthi sithele imithelo kuKhesari loba hatshi?”
Kamutwambila, sena Milawo ya Lesa yasuminisha kubenga musonko ku mwami waku Loma, nambi nkayasuminisha?”
23 Wabubona ubuqili babo wathi kubo,
Nomba Yesu walenshiba miyeyo yabo yaipa walabambileti,
24 “Ngitshengisani idenari. Kulomfanekiso kabani lombhalo kabani kuyo?” Baphendula bathi, “NgokaKhesari.”
“Kamundesha mali, nomba cinso ne lina lilipo nilyabani?” Balakumbuleti, “Byonse nibya mwami waku Loma.”
25 Wathi kubo, “Ngakho nikani uKhesari okungokukaKhesari, linike uNkulunkulu okungokukaNkulunkulu.”
Lino neye walakumbuleti, “Kamubengani ku mwami waku Loma bintu byakendi, Neco neye Lesa mupeni bintu byakendi.”
26 Behluleka ukumbamba ngalokho akutshoyo lapho obala. Sebemangaliswe yimpendulo yakhe bathula zwi.
Neco balalilwa kucana mulandu mulibyo mbyalamba pamenso abantu. Lino balapwilwa mano pakukumbula kwa Yesu, balamwenowa tonto.
27 Amanye amaSadusi athi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo eza kuJesu elombuzo.
Basaduki nabambi balesa kuli Yesu. Bantu aba bali kwambeti bantu bafwa nteshi bakapundukepo. Balamwipusha Yesu eti,
28 Athi, “Mfundisi, uMosi wasibhalela ukuthi nxa umfowabo wendoda angafa atshiye umfazi, kodwa bengelabantwana, umfowabo kumele amngene umfelokazi ukuze azalele umfowabo abantwana.
“Bashikwiyisha, Mose watulembela Milawo yakwambeti, Na muntu lafu, nekushiya mukashendi, kwakubula mwana, mukwabo welela kumweba mukalubingi kwambeti asemenemo bana bamukwabo uyo walafwa.”
29 Manje kwakulabafowabo abayisikhombisa. Owokuqala wathatha umfazi kodwa wafa engelamntwana.
Lino kwalikuba batuloba basanu ne babili pamukowa, mukulene bantu waleba mukashi, nsombi walafwa katana asemenamo mwana.
30 Owesibili
Neye wabubili walamupyana mukashi nomba neye walafwa katana asemenamo mwana,
31 njalo lowesithathu laye wamthatha, bonke boyisikhombisa benza njalo bafa bengatshiyanga bantwana.
Wabutatu walamupyana neye walafwa katana asemenamo mwana. Lino bonse basa basanu ne babili balapwa kufwa kwakubula kusemenamo bana mumutukashi uyo.
32 Ekucineni umfazi laye wafa.
Kumapwilisho, mukashi uyo walafwa neye.
33 Pho-ke, ekuvukeni kwabafileyo uzakuba ngumkabani njengoba bonke boyisikhombisa babemthethe?”
“Lino pabusuba bwakupunduka kubafu, mukashi uyo nakabe muka bani? Pakwinga bonse bamukowa basanu ne babili balikuba balamwebepo.”
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Bantu bacino cindi bakute kweba nekwebwa. (aiōn g165)
35 Kodwa labo abazabe befanele ukuba lengxenye kulesosikhathi lasekuvukeni kwabafileyo kabazukuthatha loba bendiswe, (aiōn g165)
Nsombi abo beti bakapundushiwe kubafu nekwikala mubuyumi bulesanga, nteshi bakebanenga. (aiōn g165)
36 njalo kabasayikufa ngoba sebenjengezingilosi. Bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, ngoba bengabantwana bokuvuka kwabafileyo.
Nabo nibakekalengeti bangelo, kayi nteshi bakafwepo. Balo nibakabe bana ba Lesa pakwinga balapunduku kubafu.
37 Kodwa emlandweni wesixuku esasibhebha umlilo, uMosi laye wakuveza ukuthi abafileyo bayavuka, ngoba ubiza uThixo ngokuthi ‘uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakhobe.’
Nomba pamakani akupunduka kubafu, neye Mose walambapo, pamakani a cifukusa cisa calikubangila mulilo, pakwinga Mwami walambeti, ‘Ni Lesa wa Abulahamu ni Lesa wa Isaki kayi ni Lesa wa Yakobo.’
38 KasuNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa owabaphilayo, ngoba kuye bonke bayaphila.”
Anu ekwambeti nte Lesa wa bantu bafwa, nsombi Lesa ni Lesa wabantu bayumi, pakwinga pamenso akendi bantu bonse nibayumi.”
39 Baphendula abanye abafundisi bomthetho bathi, “Utsho kahle Mfundisi!”
Beshikwiyisha Milawo nabambi balakumbuleti, “Bashikwiyisha mulamba cena”
40 Kasabanga khona owaba lesibindi sokumbuza eminye imibuzo.
Neco baliya kuyanda kumwipushapo Yesu mipusho naimbi.
41 UJesu wasesithi kubo, “Kungani besithi uKhristu uyiNdodana kaDavida na?
Yesu walabepusheti, “nipacebo cini bantu bakute kwambeti Mupulushi Walaiwa nimwanendi Dafeti?”
42 UDavida yena ngokwakhe uyakufakaza eNcwadini yamaHubo uthi: ‘INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: “Hlala ngakwesokunene sami,
Pakwinga Dafeti mwine mulibuku lya kutembaula walambeti, “Mwami walambila Mwami wakame eti, Ikala kulikasa lyakame lyakululyo
43 ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisinyathelo senyawo zakho.”’
kushikila nkasandule balwani bakobe, bakabe pakulyata myendo yakobe.”
44 UDavida umbiza athi ‘Nkosi.’ Pho angaba yindodana yakhe njani?”
“Na Dafeti mwine walamukuweti, Mwami, nomba ngobeconi mwanendi?”
45 Kwathi bonke abantu besalalele, uJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe,
Bantu bonse mpobalikunyumfwa mbyalikwamba Yesu, nendi walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti,
46 “Limukani abafundisi bomthetho. Bathanda ukuhambahamba becece ngezembatho ezinde eziphephezelayo njalo bathanda ukubingelelwa emisikeni, futhi bathatha izihlalo eziphakemeyo emasinagogweni lezindawo zabahlonitshwa emadilini.
“Kamucenjelani ne beshikwiyisha Milawo. Nabo basuni kwendana kabalibafwala minganjo itali, kwambeti bantu babapenga mitende yabulemu mumisena yamakwebo. Basuni kwikala pabipuna byabulemu mung'anda yakupaililamo ne mumisena yamalyalya.
47 Bahuquluza izindlu zabafelokazi njalo bazibonakalisa ngokwenza imikhuleko emide. Abantu abanjalo bazajeziswa kabuhlungu.”
Nomba ebakute kulamuna manda bamukalubingi, ne kupaila mipailo itali itali kwambeti bantu bababone. Cakubinga Lesa nakabape mulandu kupita bantu nabambi balabulunga kwinseco.”
