UMakho 11
1 Bathi sebesondele eJerusalema bafika eBhethifage leBhethani eNtabeni yama-Oliva. UJesu wathuma abafundi bakhe ababili
And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of 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 saith to them, 'Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:
3 Nxa kungaba lozalibuza ukuthi, ‘Likwenzeleni lokho na?’ limtshele ukuthi, ‘INkosi iyalifuna, izalibuyisa masinyane.’”
and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'
4 Bahamba bathola inkonyane kababhemi phandle maqondana lomnyango ibotshelwe. Bayikhulula,
And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,
5 abantu ababemi khonapho babuza bathi, “Lenzani, liyikhululelani inkonyane leyo na?”
and certain of those standing there said to them, 'What do ye — loosing the colt?'
6 Baphendula njengoba uJesu wayebatshelile, abantu basebebayekela bahamba.
and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.
7 Sebelilethile ithole kuJesu bendlala amajazi abo phezu kwalo uJesu waseligada.
And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,
8 Abantu abanengi bendlala amajazi abo endleleni, kukanti abanye bendlala ingatsha abaziqamula emasimini.
and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.
9 Labo ababehamba phambili lalabo ababelandela bamemeza besithi, “Hosana!” “Ubusisiwe lowo obuya ngebizo leNkosi!”
And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, 'Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord;
10 “Ubusisiwe umbuso ozayo okababa wethu uDavida!” “Hosana ezulwini eliphezulu!”
blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.'
11 UJesu wangena eJerusalema waya ethempelini. Wathalaza wakhangela konke, kodwa kwathi ngoba kwasekuhlwile wehlela eBhethani labalitshumi lambili.
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Ngelanga elilandelayo bathi besuka eBhethani uJesu wayeselambile.
And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,
13 Wabona bucwadlana isihlahla somkhiwa sihlumile amahlamvu, wasondela ukuyabona ingabe sasilezithelo yini. Wafika wabona kungamahlamvu kuphela ngoba kwakungasiso isikhathi sezithelo zomkhiwa.
and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,
14 Wasesithi esihlahleni, “Akungabi lamuntu lanini ozaphinda adle izithelo zakho.” Abafundi bakhe bamuzwa esitsho lokho. (aiōn g165)
and Jesus answering said to it, 'No more from thee — to the age — may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing. (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 come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves, he overthrew,
16 kaze avumela muntu ukungenisa okuthengiswayo ezindlini zethempeli.
and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel 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 was teaching, saying to them, 'Hath it not been written — My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?'
18 Abaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho bakuzwa lokhu basebeqalisa ukudinga indlela yokumbulala, ngoba babemesaba ngoba ixuku lonke lalimangaliswa yikufundisa kwakhe.
And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;
19 Kusihlwa baphuma edolobheni.
and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.
20 Ekuseni babehambahamba basebebona isihlahla somkhiwa esasibunile kusukela empandeni.
And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,
21 UPhethro wakhumbula wasesithi kuJesu, “Rabi, khangela! Isihlahla somkhiwa owasiqalekisayo sibunile!”
and Peter having remembered saith to him, 'Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.'
22 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Woba lokholo kuNkulunkulu.
And Jesus answering saith to them, 'Have faith of God;
23 Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi nxa omunye esithi entabeni le, ‘Suka, ziphosele olwandle,’ engelakuthandabuza enhliziyweni yakhe, kodwa ekholwa ukuthi lokho akutshoyo kuzakwenzakala, kuzakwenziwa kuye.
for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.
24 Ngakho ngiyalitshela ukuthi loba kuyini elikucelayo ngomkhuleko, kholwani ukuthi selikwamukele, sekuzakuba ngokwenu.
Because of this I say to you, all whatever — praying — ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.
25 Njalo nxa lisima likhuleka, nxa lilesikhwili komunye, mthetheleleni, ukuze uYihlo ezulwini alithethelele izono zenu. [
'And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;
26 Kodwa nxa lingathetheleli, loYihlo osezulwini kazukulithethelela izono zenu.]”
and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.'
27 Bafika njalo eJerusalema, kwathi uJesu ezihambela emagumeni ethempeli kweza kuye abaphristi abakhulu, labafundisi bomthetho kanye labadala.
And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 Bambuza bathi, “Konke lokhu ukwenza ngawaphi amandla na? Ngubani owakupha amandla okwenza lokhu?”
and they say to him, 'By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?'
29 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngizalibuza umbuzo owodwa. Lingangiphendula ngizalitshela ukuthi ngizenza ngawaphi amandla lezizinto.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will question you — I also — one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;
30 Ukubhaphathiza kukaJohane, kwakuvela ezulwini loba ebantwini? Ngitshelani!”
the baptism of John — from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.'
31 Bahlanganisa amakhanda bathi, Singathi, “‘Kwakuvela ezulwini,’ uzabuza athi, ‘Kungani lingazange limkholwe?’
And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
32 Kodwa singathi, ‘Kwakuvela ebantwini’ …” (Besaba abantu ngoba bonke babesithi ngeqiniso uJohane wayengumphrofethi.)
But if we may say, From men,' — they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;
33 Ngakho bamphendula uJesu bathi, “Kasikwazi.” UJesu wathi, “Lami kangisalitsheli ukuthi izinto lezi ngizenza ngawaphi amandla.”
and answering they say to Jesus, 'We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'
