1 Ngalezonsuku kwaphinde kwabuthana elinye ixuku labantu. Kwathi ngoba bengelalutho lokudla uJesu wabiza abafundi bakhe wathi kubo,
I A mau la no, he ahakanaka nui loa, aole nae a lakou mea e paina'i, kahea mai la Iesu i kana mau haumana, i mai la ia lakou,
2 “Ngilosizi ngalaba abantu; sebebe lami okwensuku ezintathu, kodwa bengadli lutho.
Ke aloha aku nei au i ka ahakanaka, no ka mea, ua noho pu iho nei lakou me au, i na la ekolu, aole hoi a lakou mea e paina'i.
3 Ngingababuyisela emakhaya belambile bazayatha endleleni ngoba abanye babo bavela khatshana.”
Ina e hookuu aku au ia lakou i ko lakou hale me ka pololi, e mauleule no lakou ma ke alanui; no ka mea, mai kahi loihi ka hele ana mai o kekahi poe o lakou.
4 Abafundi bakhe baphendula bathi, “Kodwa kungaphi endaweni emi yodwa kanje umuntu angathola khona izinkwa ezanele ukubapha?”
I aku la kana poe haumana ia ia, Nohea la e hiki ai i kekahi ke hoomaona'i ia lakou nei iloko o ka waonahele?
5 UJesu wababuza wathi, “Lilezinkwa ezingaki na?” Bathi, “Eziyisikhombisa.”
Ninau mai la oia ia lakou, Ehia na popo berena a oukou? I mai la lakou, Ehiku.
6 Wasetshela ixuku labantu ukuthi lihlale phansi. Wathi esezithethe izinkwa eziyisikhombisa njalo esebongile, wazihlephula waziqhubela abafundi bakhe ukuba baqhubele abantu. Lakanye benza khonokho.
Kanoha mai la ia i kanaka e noho ilalo ma ka lepo. Lawe ae la ia i na popo berena ehiku, hoomaikai aku la, wawahi iho la, haawi mai ia i kana poe haumana, e kau aku imua o ka ahakanaka; a kau aku la lakou.
7 Njalo babelenhlanzi ezincane ezimbalwa, wazikhulekela lazo wathi abafundi bazabele abantu.
He mau wahi ia liilii no hoi kekahi a lakou; hoomaikai aku la ia, a kauoha mai la, e kau aku no hoi ia mau mea.
8 Abantu badla basutha. Ngemva kwalokho abafundi badobha imvuthu kwagcwala izitsha eziyisikhombisa.
Ai iho la lakou a maona, a hoiliili iho la lakou i ke koena ai, ehiku hinai i piha.
9 Ababekhona kwakungamadoda azinkulungwane ezine. Esebabuyisele emakhaya,
A o ka poe i ai, eha tausani lakou; a hookuu aku la oia ia lakou.
10 wangena esikepeni labafundi bakhe baya emangweni waseDalimanutha.
Alaila, ee pu aku la ia me kana poe haumana iluna o ka moku, a holo ae la i na mokuna o Dalamanuta.
11 AbaFarisi beza baqalisa ukumbuza uJesu. Bamlinga ngokuthi kabatshengise isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini.
Hele mai la ka poe Parisaio, a hoomaka e ninaninau mai ia ia, me ka imi i hoailona ana, mai ka lani mai, i hoao ai lakou ia ia.
12 Wakhokha umoya ngamandla wathi, “Kungani isizukulwane lesi sicela isibonakaliso? Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, kakulasibonakaliso esizakuphiwa lesisizukulwane.”
Uwe nui iho la ia iloko o kona naau, i ae la, No ke aha la keia hanauna e imi mai nei i hoailona? Oiaio ke hai aku nei au ia oukou, Aole e haawiia'ku ka hoailona no keia hanauna.
13 Wasesuka kubo wabuyela esikepeni wachaphela ngakwelinye iphetsheya.
Haalele iho la oia ia lakou, ee hou aku la maluna o ka moku, a holo aku la i kela kapa.
14 Abafundi bakhohlwa ukuza lesinkwa ngaphandle kwesisodwa ababelaso esikepeni.
Ua poina ia lakou ke lawe pu i ka berena, hookahi wale no popo berena a lakou iloko o ka moku.
15 UJesu wabaxwayisa wathi, “Limukani, liqaphele imvubelo yabaFarisi lekaHerodi.”
Kauoha mai la oia ia lakou, i mai la, E ao oukou e makaala, no ka mea hu a ka poe Parisaio, a me ka mea hu o Herode.
16 Bakhulumisana ngalokhu bathi, “Utsho ngoba singelasinkwa.”
Ohumu malu iho la lakou ia lakou iho no, i ae la, No ko kakou berena ole paha.
17 UJesu wakunanzelela ababekukhuluma, wasebabuza wathi, “Kungani likhuluma ngokungabi lasinkwa na? Lilokhu lingaboni njalo lingazwisisi na? Inhliziyo zenu sezintunyile na?
Ua ike no o Iesu, a i mai la oia ia lakou, No ke aba la oukou i ohumu ai i ko oukou berena ole? Aole anei oukou i noonoo? Aole anei iike? Ua paakiki anei ko oukou naau?
18 Kungani lithi lilamehlo lehluleke ukubona, lilezindlebe lehluleke ukuzwa? Kalikhumbuli yini?
He mau maka no ko oukou, aole anei oukou i ike? He mau pepeiao no ko oukou, aole anei oukou i lohe? Aole anei oukou i hoomanao?
19 Ngize ngihlephunele abazinkulungwane ezinhlanu izinkwa ezinhlanu labutha izitsha ezingaki zemvuthu?” Bathi, “Ezilitshumi lambili.”
I kuu wawahi ana i na popo berena elima, na na tausani elima, ehia la na hinai i piha i ke koena ai a oukou i hoiliili ai? Hai aku la lakou ia ia, He umikumamalua.
20 “Ngize ngihlephunele abazinkulungwane ezine izinkwa eziyisikhombisa labutha imvuthu kwaba yizitsha ezingaki na?” Baphendula bathi, “Eziyisikhombisa.”
A i na hiku na na tausani eha, ehia la na hinai i piha i ke koena ai a oukou i hoiliili ai? Hai aku la lakou ia ia, Ehiku.
21 Wasesithi kubo, “Lilokhu lingezwisisi yini?”
A olelo mai la ia ia lakou, Pehea la hoi i hoomaopopo ole mai ai oukou?
22 Bafika eBhethisayida, abanye abantu baletha indoda eyayiyisiphofu bancenga uJesu ukuba ayibeke izandla.
Hele mai la ia i Betesaida, alaila, nalihali ae la lakou i kekahi kanaka makapo io na la, nonoi aku la ia ia, e hoopa mai ia ia.
23 Wasithatha isiphofu leso wasibamba ngesandla wasiholela ngaphandle komuzi. Esekhafulele emehlweni aso wasibeka izandla uJesu wabuza wathi, “Kukhona okubonayo na?”
Lalau iho la ia i ka lima o ke kanaka makapo, alakai aku la ia ia, mai ke kauhale aku; kuha mai la ia i kona mau maka, hoopa mai la kona lima ia ia, ninau mai la i kona ike ana i kekahi mea.
24 Sathalaza sathi, “Ngibona abantu; bakhangeleka njengezihlahla ezihambahambayo.”
Nana ae la ia iluna, i aku la, Ke ike nei au i kanaka, me he mau laau la e hele ana.
25 UJesu waphinde wabeka izandla zakhe emehlweni ayo indoda leyo. Amehlo ayo avuleka, yabona kuhle, isibona zonke izinto kakuhle.
Mahope iho, kau hou mai la ia i kona lima ma na maka ona, a hoonana hou aku la ia ia iluna; a ola ae la ia, a ike maopopo iho la i kela kanaka i keia kanaka.
26 UJesu wayibuyisela ekhaya layo wathi, “Ungayi edolobheni ukuyakhuluma ngale indaba.”
Hoihoi ae la o Iesu ia ia i kona hale, i ae la, Mai hele aku i ke kauhale, mai hai aku i ko ke kauhale.
27 UJesu labafundi bakhe baya emizini eduze leKhesariya Filiphi. Besendleleni wababuza wathi, “Kambe abantu bathi ngingubani?”
Hele aku la Iesu, a me kana poe haumana i na kauhale o Kaisareia Pilipi; ninau ae la ia i kana poe haumana ma ke alaloa, i ka i ana, Owai la wau i ka kanaka olelo?
28 Baphendula bathi, “Abanye bathi unguJohane uMbhaphathizi; abanye bathi ungu-Elija; njalo abanye bathi ungomunye wabaphrofethi.”
I aku la lakou, O Ioane Bapetite; a o Elia i ka kekahi; a o kekahi o na kaula i ka kekahi.
29 Wasebabuza wathi, “Kodwa lina-ke? Lithi ngingubani?” UPhethro waphendula wathi, “UnguKhristu.”
Ninau mai la oia ia lakou, Owai la hoi au i ka oukou olelo? Hai aku la o Petero, i aku la ia ia, O ka Mesia no oe.
30 UJesu wabaqonqosela ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ngaye.
Papa mai la oia ia lakou, mai hai aku ia ia i kekahi kanaka.
31 Waqalisa ukubafundisa ngokuthi iNdodana yoMuntu imele ihlupheke kakhulu, yaliwe ngabadala bebandla, abaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho, njalo lokuthi kumele ibulawe kuthi ngemva kwensuku ezintathu ivuke njalo.
Ilaila kana hoomaka ana e hoike mai ia lakou e hoomainoino nui ia ke Keiki a ke kanaka, a e hooleia e ka poe kahiko, a me ka poe kahuna nui, a me ka poe kakauolelo, a e pepehiia oia, a po akolu ae e ala hou mai.
32 Wakukhuluma kamhlophe lokho, uPhethro wamdonsela eceleni waqalisa ukumkhuza.
Hai maopopo mai la oia ia olelo; alaila. lalau ae la o Petero ia ia, a hoomaka e papa aku la ia ia.
33 Kodwa waphenduka wakhangela abafundi bakhe, wasemkhuza uPhethro wathi, “Suka emuva kwami, Sathane! Kawunakani ngezinto zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngezinto zabantu.”
Haliu ae la Iesu, nana ae la i kana mau haumana, papa ae la ia Petero, i ae la, E hele oe pela mahope o'u, e Satana, no ka mea, aole i like kou manao me ko ke Akua, aka, me ko na kanaka.
34 Wasebiza ixuku labantu kanye labafundi bakhe wathi, “Nxa umuntu efuna ukungilandela, kumele azidele athathe isiphambano sakhe angilandele.
A kahea mai la ia i kanaka, a i kana poe haumana no hoi, i mai la ia lakou, O ka mea makemake e hahai mai mahope o'u, e hoole oia ia ia iho, a e kaikai i kona kea, a e hahai mai ia'u.
35 Ngoba yilowo ofuna ukulondoloza impilo yakhe izamlahlekela, kodwa olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami kanye levangeli uzayilondoloza.
O ka mea manao e malama i kona ola nei, e lilo auanei kona ola, a o ka mea haalele i kona ola no'u nei, a no ka enanelio, e loaa ia ia ke ola.
36 Kumsizani umuntu ukuzuza wonke umhlaba, kodwa alahlekelwe ngumphefumulo wakhe?
Heaha la uanei ko ke kanaka pomaikai ke loaa ia ia ke ao nei a pau, a lilo aku kona uhane?
37 Loba, kuyini umuntu angakunika kube yinhlawulo yomphefumulo wakhe na?
Heaha la hoi ko ke kanaka kumu e haawi aku ai, e loaa hou mai ai kona uhane?
38 Nxa umuntu eyangeka ngami kanye lamazwi ami kulesi isizukulwane esifebayo lesonayo, iNdodana yoMuntu izakuyangeka ngaye nxa isifika enkazimulweni kaYise lezingilosi ezingcwele.”
O ka mea e hilahila mai ia'u a me ka'u olelo, i keia hanauna kolohe a hana hewa, e hilahila no hoi ke Keiki a ke kanaka ia ia i kona wa e hele mai ai me ka nani o kona Makua, me na anela hemolele.
