UMathewu 11
1 UJesu wathi eseqedile ukulaya abafundi bakhe abalitshumi lambili wasuka kuleyondawo ukuyafundisa lokutshumayela emadolobheni aseGalile.
Zvino zvakaitika apo Jesu apedza kuraira vadzidzi vake gumi nevaviri, akabvira ipapo kudzidzisa nekuparidza pamaguta avo.
2 UJohane esentolongweni wathi esizwa ukuthi uKhristu wayesenzani, wathuma abafundi bakhe
Zvino Johwani wakati anzwa ari mutirongo mabasa aKristu, akatuma vaviri vevadzidzi vake,
3 ukuba bayembuza bathi, “Unguye yini ozayo kumbe silindele omunye na?”
akati kwaari: Imwi ndimwi anouya here, kana titarisire umwe?
4 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Buyelani liyebikela uJohane lokhu elikuzwayo lelikubonayo ukuthi
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Endai munoudza Johwani zvinhu zvamunonzwa nezvamunoona:
5 Iziphofu zenziwa zibone, abaqhugezelayo bayahamba, abalobulephero bayahlanjululwa, izacuthe ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswa, levangeli liyatshunyayelwa kubayanga.
Mapofu anoonazve, uye mhetamakumbo dzinofamba, vane maperembudzi vanonatswa, nevematsi vanonzwa, vakafa vanomutswa, nevarombo vanoparidzirwa evhangeri;
6 Ubusisiwe umuntu ongakhubekiyo ngenxa yami.”
wakaropafadzwa ani nani asingagumbuswi neni.
7 Kwathi abafundi bakaJohane sebesuka, uJesu waqala ukukhuluma labantu ngoJohane esithi: “Laphuma lisiyabonani enkangala na? Umhlanga owazunguzwa ngumoya na?
Ava vakati vachienda, Jesu akatanga kuudza zvaunga pamusoro paJohwani akati: Makange mabuda kurenje kunoonei? Rutsanga rwunozungunuswa nemhepo here?
8 Nxa kungayisikho, pho lalisiyabonani? Indoda eyayicecile na? Hatshi, labo abagqoka izigqoko ezinhle basezigodlweni zamakhosi.
Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Munhu wakapfeka nguvo dzakapfava here? Tarirai, vanopfeka zvakapfava vari mudzimba dzemadzimambo.
9 Pho laphuma lisiyabonani na? Umphrofethi? Yebo, ngiyalitshela, odlula umphrofethi.
Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Muporofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange anopfuura kwazvo muporofita;
10 Lo nguye okulotshwe ngaye ukuthi: ‘Ngizathuma isithunywa sami phambi kwakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.’
nokuti uyu ndiye wakanyorwa pamusoro pake zvichinzi: Tarira, ini ndinotuma mutumwa wangu pamberi pechiso chako, achagadzira nzira yako pamberi pako.
11 Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi, phakathi kwabo bonke abazelwe ngabesifazane akukaveli loyedwa omkhulu kuloJohane uMbhaphathizi ikanti lowo ongomncinyane kakhulu embusweni wezulu mkhulu kulaye.
Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Hakuna kumuka pakati pevakaberekwa nevakadzi mukuru kuna Johwani Mubhabhatidzi. Asi mudikisa muushe hwekumatenga mukuru kwaari.
12 Kusukela ensukwini zikaJohane uMbhaphathizi kuze kube khathesi, umbuso wezulu wala uqhubeka ngamandla ngoba abantu abalamandla bawubambile.
Uye kubva pamazuva aJohwani Mubhabhatidzi kusvikira zvino, ushe hwekumatenga hunopambiwa, nevapambi vanohutora nesimba.
13 Ngoba bonke abaPhrofethi kanye loMthetho baphrofitha kwaze kwafika uJohane.
Nokuti vaporofita vese nemurairo vakaporofita kusvikira kuna Johwani;
14 Ngakho nxa likwamukela lokhu, ungu-Elija okwathiwa uyeza.
zvino kana muchida kuzvigamuchira, uyu ndiye Eria wakange achizouya.
15 Lowo olendlebe zokuzwa, kezwe.
Une nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
16 Kambe ngingasifanisa lani isizukulwane lesi na? Banjengabantwana abahlezi emikambo bememeza abanye besithi:
Asi ndicharifananidza nei zera iri? Rakafanana nevana vagere pamisika, vachidanidzira kushamwari dzavo,
17 ‘Salitshayela umhubhe, kodwa kaligidanga; salihlabelela ingoma yesililo kodwa kalililanga.’
vachiti: Takakuridzirai nyere, asi hamuna kutamba; takakuririrai, asi hamuna kuchema.
18 Ngoba uJohane wafika engadli njalo enganathi basebesithi, ‘Uledimoni,’
Nokuti Johwani wakauya asingadyi kana kunwa, asi vanoti: Ane dhimoni.
19 INdodana yoMuntu yafika yadla, yanatha, bathi, ‘Nansi isidli lesidakwa, umngane wabathelisi lezoni.’ Kodwa, ukuhlakanipha kuziveza ukuthi kuqondile ngemisebenzi yakho.”
Mwanakomana wemunhu wakauya achidya, achinwa, zvino vanoti: Tarirai munhu anokara uye munwi wewaini, shamwari yevateresi nevatadzi. Asi njere dzinonzi dzakarurama nevana vadzo.
20 UJesu waseqalisa ukuwasola amadolobho lawo lapho izimangaliso zakhe ezinengi ezazenziwe khona ngoba kabazange baphenduke:
Ipapo akatanga kutsiura maguta makange maitwa mabasa ake esimba mazhinji, nokuti haana kutendeuka, akati:
21 “Maye kuwe Khorazini! Maye kuwe Bhethisayida! Aluba izimangaliso lezo ezenziwa kuwe zazenziwe eThire leSidoni, ngabe kudala baphenduka begqoke izigqoko zamasaka, bazibhuqa lemlotheni.
Une nhamo, Korazini! Une nhamo, Bhetisaidha! Nokuti dai akaitwa muTire neSidhoni mabasa esimba akaitwa mamuri, vangadai vakatendeuka kare vakapfeka masaga nedota.
22 Kodwa ngiyalitshela, kuzakuba ngcono eThire leSidoni ngosuku lokwahlulelwa kulalokho okuzalehlela lina.
Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Zvichava nani kuTire neSidhoni nezuva rekutongwa kupfuura imwi.
23 Lawe Khaphenawume, kambe uzaphakanyiselwa emazulwini na? Hatshi, uzatshona phansi uye eHadesi. Ngoba aluba izimangaliso ezenziwa kuwe zazenziwe eSodoma ngabe ikhona lanamuhla. (Hadēs g86)
Newe Kapenaume, wakasimudzirwa kudenga, uchawisirwa pasi muhadhesi; nokuti dai akaitwa muSodhoma mabasa esimba akaitwa mauri, vangadai vachipo kusvikira zuva rino. (Hadēs g86)
24 Kodwa ngiyalitshela ukuthi kuzakuba ngcono elizweni leSodoma ngelanga lokwahlulelwa kulakuwe.”
Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Zvichava nani kunyika yeSodhoma nezuva rekutongwa kupfuura iwe.
25 Ngalesosikhathi uJesu wathi, “Ngiyakubonga Baba, Nkosi yezulu lomhlaba ngoba uzifihlile lezizinto kwabahlakaniphileyo labafundileyo, wazambulela abantwana abancinyane.
Nenguva iyo Jesu akapindura akati: Ndinokutendai, Baba, Ishe wedenga nenyika, nokuti makavanzira zvinhu izvi vakachenjera nevakangwara, mukazvizarurira vacheche.
26 Yebo Baba, lokhu kwaba yikuthanda kwakho.
Hongu Baba, nokuti zvakadaro zvakava zvakanaka pamberi penyu.
27 Zonke izinto zethulwe kimi nguBaba. Kakho oyaziyo iNdodana ngaphandle kukaBaba, njalo kakho omaziyo uBaba ngaphandle kweNdodana lalabo iNdodana ekhethe ukuba imveze kubo.
Zvinhu zvese zvakakumikidzwa kwandiri naBaba vangu; uye hakuna anoziva Mwanakomana kunze kwaBaba; hakunazve anoziva Baba kunze kweMwanakomana, uye ani nani Mwanakomana waanenge achida kuzarurira.
28 Wozani kimi lina lonke elikhatheleyo lelisindwayo, ngizaliphumuza.
Uyai kwandiri mese makaneta makaremerwa, uye ini ndichakupai zororo.
29 Zithwaliseni ijogwe lami, lifunde kimi, ngoba ngimnene futhi ngithobekile enhliziyweni njalo lizazuza ukuphumula kwemiphefumulo yenu.
Torai joko rangu muise pamusoro penyu, mudzidze kwandiri, nokuti ndiri munyoro, ndakaderera mumoyo; uye muchawana zororo pamweya yenyu;
30 Ngoba ijogwe lami lilula, lomthwalo wami kawusindi.”
nokuti joko rangu rakanakisa, nemutoro wangu wakareruka.
