UMakho 11
1 Bathi sebesondele eJerusalema bafika eBhethifage leBhethani eNtabeni yama-Oliva. UJesu wathuma abafundi bakhe ababili
AND when they drew nigh to Urishlem, against Bethphage and Beth-ania, at the mount of Olives, he sent two from his disciples,
2 wathi kubo, “Yanini emzini ophambi kwenu, okuzakuthi nxa lingena kuwo lizabona inkonyane kababhemi engakaze igadwe muntu ibotshelwe khonapho. Ikhululeni liyilethe lapha.
and said to them, Go to that village which is over against you; and forthwith as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, which no man hath ridden; loose, bring him.
3 Nxa kungaba lozalibuza ukuthi, ‘Likwenzeleni lokho na?’ limtshele ukuthi, ‘INkosi iyalifuna, izalibuyisa masinyane.’”
And if any man shall say to you, Why do you this? say to him, Because for our Lord it is requested, and at once he will send him hither.
4 Bahamba bathola inkonyane kababhemi phandle maqondana lomnyango ibotshelwe. Bayikhulula,
And they went, and found the colt tied at the gate without in the street. And as they were loosing,
5 abantu ababemi khonapho babuza bathi, “Lenzani, liyikhululelani inkonyane leyo na?”
some of those who were standing said to them, What are you doing that you loosen the colt?
6 Baphendula njengoba uJesu wayebatshelile, abantu basebebayekela bahamba.
But they said to them as Jeshu had instructed them; and they permitted them.
7 Sebelilethile ithole kuJesu bendlala amajazi abo phezu kwalo uJesu waseligada.
And they brought the colt to Jeshu, and threw upon him their garments; and Jeshu rode upon him.
8 Abantu abanengi bendlala amajazi abo endleleni, kukanti abanye bendlala ingatsha abaziqamula emasimini.
But many spread their vestments in the way, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them in the way;
9 Labo ababehamba phambili lalabo ababelandela bamemeza besithi, “Hosana!” “Ubusisiwe lowo obuya ngebizo leNkosi!”
and these who went before him, and these who came after him, cried, saying, Save now!
10 “Ubusisiwe umbuso ozayo okababa wethu uDavida!” “Hosana ezulwini eliphezulu!”
and blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David: Save now, in the heights!
11 UJesu wangena eJerusalema waya ethempelini. Wathalaza wakhangela konke, kodwa kwathi ngoba kwasekuhlwile wehlela eBhethani labalitshumi lambili.
And Jeshu entered Urishlem, into the temple, and surveyed every thing. And when it was the time of the evening, he went forth to Beth-ania with the twelve.
12 Ngelanga elilandelayo bathi besuka eBhethani uJesu wayeselambile.
And the day after, when he went from Beth-ania, he hungered.
13 Wabona bucwadlana isihlahla somkhiwa sihlumile amahlamvu, wasondela ukuyabona ingabe sasilezithelo yini. Wafika wabona kungamahlamvu kuphela ngoba kwakungasiso isikhathi sezithelo zomkhiwa.
And he saw a certain fig-tree from afar which had leaves on it, and he came to it, if he might find upon it somewhat; but when he came, he found on it only the leaves, for the time was not for figs (to have been ingathered).
14 Wasesithi esihlahleni, “Akungabi lamuntu lanini ozaphinda adle izithelo zakho.” Abafundi bakhe bamuzwa esitsho lokho. (aiōn g165)
And he said to it, Henceforth and for ever man from thee fruit shall not eat. And his disciples heard. (aiōn g165)
15 Bathi befika eJerusalema uJesu wangena egumeni lethempeli wafika wabaxotsha labo ababethenga lababethengisa khona. Wagenqula amatafula abantshintshi bezimali lezihlalo zababethengisa amajuba,
And they came to Urishlem. And Jeshu went into the temple of Aloha, and began to cast forth those who sold and bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them who sold doves:
16 kaze avumela muntu ukungenisa okuthengiswayo ezindlini zethempeli.
and he would not suffer any man to carry goods through the temple.
17 Wathi esabafundisa wathi, “Kakulotshwanga yini ukuthi: ‘Indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yokukhuleka ezizweni zonke’? Kodwa lina seliyenze ‘ubhalu lwabaphangi.’”
And he taught, and said to them, Is it not written, That my house the house of prayer shall be called of all nations? but you have made it a den of thieves.
18 Abaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho bakuzwa lokhu basebeqalisa ukudinga indlela yokumbulala, ngoba babemesaba ngoba ixuku lonke lalimangaliswa yikufundisa kwakhe.
And the chief priests and Sophree heard it, and inquired how they might destroy him; for they feared from him, because all the people admired his doctrine.
19 Kusihlwa baphuma edolobheni.
AND when it was evening, they went without from the city.
20 Ekuseni babehambahamba basebebona isihlahla somkhiwa esasibunile kusukela empandeni.
And in the morning, while they passed by, they saw that fig-tree that it was dry from its root.
21 UPhethro wakhumbula wasesithi kuJesu, “Rabi, khangela! Isihlahla somkhiwa owasiqalekisayo sibunile!”
And Shemun remembered and said to him, Rabi, behold, that fig-tree which thou didst curse hath dried.
22 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Woba lokholo kuNkulunkulu.
And Jeshu answered and said to them, Let there be in you the faith of Aloha.
23 Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi nxa omunye esithi entabeni le, ‘Suka, ziphosele olwandle,’ engelakuthandabuza enhliziyweni yakhe, kodwa ekholwa ukuthi lokho akutshoyo kuzakwenzakala, kuzakwenziwa kuye.
Amen I say to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and fall into the sea, and shall not be divided in his heart, but shall believe that that thing which he speaketh is, he shall have the thing that he saith.
24 Ngakho ngiyalitshela ukuthi loba kuyini elikucelayo ngomkhuleko, kholwani ukuthi selikwamukele, sekuzakuba ngokwenu.
On this account I tell you, that every thing whatever you supplicate and ask, believe that you receive, and it shall be unto you.
25 Njalo nxa lisima likhuleka, nxa lilesikhwili komunye, mthetheleleni, ukuze uYihlo ezulwini alithethelele izono zenu. [
And when you stand to pray, forgive whatever you have against any man; and your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.
26 Kodwa nxa lingathetheleli, loYihlo osezulwini kazukulithethelela izono zenu.]”
But if you do not forgive, your Father who is in heaven will also not forgive you your transgressions.
27 Bafika njalo eJerusalema, kwathi uJesu ezihambela emagumeni ethempeli kweza kuye abaphristi abakhulu, labafundisi bomthetho kanye labadala.
And they came again to Urishlem: and as he walked in the temple, the chief priests and the Sophree and the elders came to him,
28 Bambuza bathi, “Konke lokhu ukwenza ngawaphi amandla na? Ngubani owakupha amandla okwenza lokhu?”
and said to him, By what authority these things doest thou? and who gave thee the authority to do them?
29 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngizalibuza umbuzo owodwa. Lingangiphendula ngizalitshela ukuthi ngizenza ngawaphi amandla lezizinto.
But Jeshu said to them, I also will ask you one word, that you may tell me, and I tell you by what authority I these things do.
30 Ukubhaphathiza kukaJohane, kwakuvela ezulwini loba ebantwini? Ngitshelani!”
The baptism of Juchanon, from whence was it? from heaven, or from the sons of man? Tell me.
31 Bahlanganisa amakhanda bathi, Singathi, “‘Kwakuvela ezulwini,’ uzabuza athi, ‘Kungani lingazange limkholwe?’
And they reasoned among themselves, and said, If we say to him, that (it was) from heaven, he saith to us, And why did you not believe him?
32 Kodwa singathi, ‘Kwakuvela ebantwini’ …” (Besaba abantu ngoba bonke babesithi ngeqiniso uJohane wayengumphrofethi.)
And if we should say, From the sons of man, there is fear from the people; for all have held Juchanon that he was truly a prophet.
33 Ngakho bamphendula uJesu bathi, “Kasikwazi.” UJesu wathi, “Lami kangisalitsheli ukuthi izinto lezi ngizenza ngawaphi amandla.”
And they answered, saying to Jeshu, We know not. He saith to them, I also do not tell you by what authority I these things do.
