< UMathewu 12 >

1 Ngalesosikhathi uJesu wadabula phakathi kwamasimu amabele kulilanga leSabatha. Abafundi bakhe basebelambile, basebekhwebula izikhwebu zamabele badla.
Umuda ogo u Yesu abhalile isiku litoyo ashilile humagonda. Abhanafunzi bhakwe bhali ni nzala na bhanda avunze amansale na hugalye.
2 AbaFarisi bakubona lokhu, bathi kuye, “Khangela! Abafundi bakho benza okuphambene lomthetho ngeSabatha.”
Ila Amafarisayo lwabhalola ego, bhamozya u Yesu “Enya abhanafunzi bhaho bhavunza indajizyo bhawomba isiku zasagagaluhusiwilwe isiku lilutoyo.”
3 Waphendula wathi, “Kalifundanga yini okwenziwa nguDavida lapho yena labakhula bakhe sebelambile?
Ila u Yesu abhawozya, “Sagamubhazizye u Daudi shawombile, umuda lwali ni nzala, pamoja na bhantu bhalinawo?
4 Wangena endlini kaNkulunkulu, yena labakhula bakhe, badla isinkwa esingcwelisiweyo, into eyayingavunyelwa ngomthetho ukuba bayenze, kodwa ivunyelwe abaphristi kuphela.
Shahinjiye muhati yinyumba ya Ngulubhi nalye amabumunda gilulolesyo, ambago sagayahali halali hukwakwe alye nabhala bhalinawo, ila halali whadimi?
5 Kumbe kalifundanga yini eMthethweni ukuthi ngeSabatha abaphristi ethempelini bayalungcolisa lolusuku kodwa kabalacala.
Bado saga mubhazizye katika indajizyo, aje katika isiku lilutuyo ndimi muhati yishibhanza bhahuyinanganya ilutoyo, ila sagabhali ni hatiya?
6 Ngiyalitshela ukuthi lowo omkhulu kulethempeli ukhona lapha.
Ila iyanga humwenyu aje wali gosi kuliko ishibhanza aleho epa.
7 Kube lalikwazile ukuthi amazwi la atshoni, ‘Ngifuna isihawu hatshi umhlatshelo’belingasoze libalahle abangelacala.
Nkesho mwamenya eli lijulisya iyenu; iwhanza irehema na saga insayo; andisagamwalonjile bhasaga bhali ni hatiya,
8 Phela iNdodana yoMuntu iyiNkosi yeSabatha.”
Afwatanaje Umwana wa Adamu ndiyo Gosi wilutoyo.”
9 Esuka lapho wayangena esinagogweni labo,
Tena Uyesu asogola pala abhala hushibhanza shawo.
10 khonapho kulendoda eyayitshwabhene isandla. Kwathi ngoba bedinga indlela yokubeka uJesu icala bambuza bathi, “Kuyavunyelwa emthethweni ukusilisa ngeSabatha na?”
Enya whali nu mundu wapolile inyobhe. Amafarisayo bhamozelezya u Yesu, bhayanga. “Eshi, sawa aponyile isiku lilutoyo?” ili aje bhawezye hunshitaki wha wombe imbibhi.
11 Wathi kubo, “Nxa omunye wenu engaba lemvu esuka iwele egodini ngeSabatha, kazukuyibamba ayikhuphe na?
U Yesu abhawozya, “Yunanu pakasi yenyu, wali ni ngole yeka, neyo ingole yagwa mhati yishimo isiku lilutoyo, sagabhahuyileme na huyefwe hongovo muhati yishimo?
12 Pho umuntu uligugu elinganani kulemvu! Yikho-ke, kusemthethweni ukwenza okuhle ngeSabatha.”
Eshi, shipimo shishili shithamani, hani huje, saga hani yingole! Eshi shinza awombe aminza ibiku lilutoyo.”
13 Wasesithi kuleyondoda, “Yelula isandla sakho.” Ngakho yaselula sahle sabuyela ngokupheleleyo, sesiqinile njengesinye.
Tena u Yesu amozya ola umuntu, “Nyosya inyobhe yaho” Ayinyosya napate uwinza hansi ela iyamwawo.
14 Kodwa abaFarisi basuka lapho bayakwakha icebo lokuthi bangambulala njani uJesu.
Ila Amafarisayo bhafuma honze bhapanga inamuna shahunteketezye bhabhalile honze apanje hushinyume shakwe. Bhawhanzaga inamuna yahugoje.
15 UJesu esekunanzelele lokho wasuka kuleyondawo. Abanengi bamlandela, wasilisa bonke abagulayo babo,
U Yesu lwahelewa elyo asogoye epo. Abhantu abhinji bhafwatile, na abhaponyila bhonti.
16 ebalaya ukuthi bangakhulumi ukuthi ungubani.
Abhalajizizye bhasahafanye afahamishe hubhamwawo,
17 Lokhu kwakuyikugcwalisa lokho okwakukhulunywe ngumphrofethi u-Isaya ukuthi:
aje ikamilishe ela ilyoli, yaya yangwilwe nukuwe u Isaya, ayanjile,
18 “Nansi inceku yami engiyikhethileyo, yona engiyithandayo, engithokoza ngayo; ngizabeka uMoya wami phezu kwayo, izamemezela ukulunga phakathi kwezizwe.
Enya, mombi wane wisaluye, ugonwe wane, katika uwene inafusi yane isongwezwe. Imbabhoshe umpepo wane humwanya yakwe, na abhatangazye ulongwe humataifa.
19 Kayiyikuphika inkani loba imemeze; kakho ozalizwa ilizwi layo emigwaqweni.
Sagaayihangayiha wala alile hungovo; wala waliwowonti awhevwe isauti yakwe mumitaani.
20 Umhlanga ofecekileyo kayiyikuwephula lentambo yesibane ethunqayo kayiyikuyicima, ize ilethe ukunqoba kokulunga.
Sagaayihulibudala itete lilialushe, sagayizimanya uwutambi wowonti wuwufumya ilyosi, hadi lwayileta ulongwe lwamena.
21 Izizwe zizabeka ithemba lazo ebizweni layo.”
Na Mataifa bhayibha udandamazu mwitawa lyakwe.
22 Basebeletha kuye indoda eyayiledimoni, iyisiphofu njalo iyisimungulu. UJesu wayisilisa yakwazi ukukhuluma lokubona.
Umuntu omo ukipofu nu bubu, wachanganyishiwilwe ni pepo aletilwe whilongolela lya Yesu. Aponilwe, pamoja namatokewo gaje umuntu ububu ayanjile na lole.
23 Bonke abantu bamangala bathi, “Kambe lo angabe eyiNdodana kaDavida na?”
Amakutano wonti bhaswijile na yanje, “Awezya umuntu ono abhe mwana wa Daudi?”
24 Kodwa kwathi abaFarisi bekuzwa lokhu bathi, “Ngamandla kaBhelizebhubhi inkosi yamadimoni amenza enelise ukuxotsha amadimoni.”
Ila umuda Amafarisayo lwabhahevwa amayele ega, bhayanjile, “Ono umuntu sagaafumya impepo hungovo zyakwe yuyo ila hongovo zya Belzebuli, ugosi wimpepo.
25 UJesu wayeyazi imicabango yabo wasesithi kubo, “Loba yiwuphi umbuso odabuke phakathi kwawumi njalo idolobho kumbe indlu edabuke phakathi kayimi.
“Ila u Yesu lwamunya insewo zyawo na hubhawozye, “Kila umwene wuwugabhanyishe uwene wunanjiha, na kila ikhaya au inyumba yigabhanyiha yene sagayayihemelela.
26 Nxa uSathane exotsha uSathane, wehlukene phakathi. Pho umbuso wakhe ungema kanjani?
Nkesho Usetano, abhahumwefwe Usetano, bhasi ahujikhana hunafsi yakwe mwene.
27 Nxa ngikhupha amadimoni ngoBhelizebhubhi, pho abalandeli benu bawakhupha ngobani? Ngakho bazakuba ngabahluleli benu.
Ni namuna wele uwomwene wakwe ubhawhemelele? Na nkesho ifumya ipepo hongovo zya Belizabuli, abhafwasi bhenyu bhafumya whidala wele? Wheli bhayibha bhalonzanyi bhenyu.
28 Kodwa nxa ngixotsha amadimoni ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu, kutsho ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu usufikile kini.
Na nkesho bhafumya ipepo hongovo zya Mpepo wa Ngulubhe, eshi umwene wa Ngulubhi wenzele humwenyu.
29 Umuntu angangena kanjani endlini yesiqhwaga aphange impahla zaso ngaphandle kokuba aqale asibophe isiqhwaga leso? Lapho-ke usengayiphanga indlu yaso.
Nu muntu abhawezye wele awhinjile muhati yinyumba yewe ngovo na whibhe, bila hupinye wengovo kwanza? Epo panzawhibhe intabhalo zyakwe afume muhati yinyumba.
30 Lowo ongemanga lami uphikisana lami, lalowo ongabuthi lami uyachithiza.
Wowonti wasagaali pamoja nane ali shinyume shane, nape wasaga awonganya pamoja nane uyo asambazya.
31 Ngakho ngiyalitshela ngithi imihlobo yonke yezono lezithuko izathethelelwa, kodwa ukuthuka uMoya akuyi kuthethelelwa.
Eshi iyanga humwenyu, kila imbibhi ni kufuru abhantu bhayisamehewa, ila ahukufuru Umpepo ufinjile sagabhayisamehewa.
32 Lowo okhuluma okubi ngeNdodana yoMuntu uzathethelelwa kodwa lowo othuka uMoya oNgcwele akayikuthethelelwa kulesisikhathi kumbe esizayo. (aiōn g165)
Na wowonti wayanga izu shinyume cha Mwana wa Adamu, elyo ayisamehewa. Ila wowonti wayanga shinyume nu Mpepo ufinjile, oyo sagayisamehewa, honse ene na wala ela yiwhenza. (aiōn g165)
33 Ungenza isihlahla sibe sihle lezithelo zaso zizakuba zinhle loba ungenza isihlahla sibe sibi lezithelo zaso zizakuba zimbi ngoba isihlahla saziwa ngezithelo zaso.
Au liwombe ikwi abhe linza nitunda lyakwe linza, au linanganye ikwi ni tunda lyakwe, afatanaje ikwi limanyiha whitunda lyakwe.
34 Lina nzalo yezinyoka, lingakukhuluma kanjani okuhle lina libabi na? Ngoba lokho okusenhliziyweni yikho umlomo okukhulumayo.
Amwe bhimpapo bhi nzoha, amwe mulibhabhibhi, muwezizye ayanje amambo aminza? Afatanaje ilomu liyanga afume mumbeho gagali mumoyo.
35 Umuntu olungileyo uveza izinto ezinhle azigcine ngaphakathi kwakhe njalo lomuntu omubi ukhihliza izinto ezimbi azigcine ngaphakathi kwakhe.
Umuntu umwinza humbeho inyinza yahumoyo gwakwe afumya inyinza, na umuntu umibhi humbeho imbibhi yimoyo gwakwe, afumya shishili shibhibhi.
36 Kodwa ngiyalitshela ukuthi umuntu munye ngamunye uzaziphendulela ngosuku lokwahlulelwa ngawo wonke amazwi ayize awakhulumayo.
Ihumbawozya whisiku li longwi abhantu bhayifumya ihesabu yikila izu lyasaga lili ni mana lyabhayanjile.
37 Ngoba lizakhululwa ngamazwi enu njalo lizalahlwa ngamazwi enu.”
Afwatanaje humazu gaho ayibhaziwa ihaku na humazu gaho wayilongwa.”
38 Abanye abaFarisi labafundisi bomthetho basebesithi kuye, “Mfundisi, sifuna ukubona isibonakaliso esivela kuwe.”
Tena baadhi ya simbi na Mafarisayo bhajibule u Yesu bhayanjile “Mwalimu, tasongwezye alole iishara afume huliwe.”
39 Waphendula wathi, “Isizukulwane esixhwalileyo lesiphingayo sicela isibonakaliso! Kodwa kasisoze sisiphiwe ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso somphrofethi uJona.
Ila Uyesu ajibule na hubhawozye, “Ishipapo ishibhibhi na shiumulala shiwhanza iishara. Ila nemo iishara yifafumwe humwawo ila ela iishara ya Yona ukuwe.
40 NjengoJona owahlala insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu esiswini senhlanzi enkulu, kanjalo iNdodana yoMuntu izahlala insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu phansi komhlabathi.
Hansi shila u Yona shahali muhati yivyanda vinswe ingosi hunsiku zitatu shasenya na nusiku, esho shesho Umwana wa Adamu shanzabhe muhati gwimoyo gwense hunsiku zitatu shasenya na nu siku.
41 Abantu baseNiniva bazasukuma kanye lalesi sizukulwane ngosuku lokwahlulelwa basilahle ngoba bona baphenduka ekutshumayeleni kukaJona, kodwa khathesi lowo omkhulu kuloJona uselapha.
Abhantu bhi Ninawi bhayihemelela whilongolela pamoja nishipapo sha bhantu ebha na bhayihushilonga. Afwatanaje walitubu humalombelelo ga Yona, na enya, umuntu omwugosi wizaidi ya Yona aleho epa.
42 INdlovukazi yaseNingizimu izavuka mhla wokwahlulelwa kanye lalesi isizukulwane isilahle; ngoba yeza ivela emaphethelweni omhlaba izolalela uSolomoni; pho manje omkhulu kuloSolomoni usekhona.
Umalikiya wahukusini aiwhemelela hulongwe peka na bhantu bhishi papo eshi nahushilonje. Ahenzele afume humwisho wense ahenze atejelezye injele ya Selemani, na enya, umuntu omo ugosi ashile u Selemani aleho epa.
43 Nxa umoya omubi uphuma emuntwini, uyazula enkangala udinga ukuphumula kodwa uyakuswela.
Umuda ipepo ibhibhi lwalihufuma umuntu, lishilila isehemu yasagaili na menze liwhanza patoye, ila sagilihupalola.
44 Ubususithi, ‘Ngizabuyela endlini engaphuma kuyo.’ Uthi ufika uthole leyondlu ingelamuntu, ithanyelwe yahlanzeka, konke kumi kuhle.
Tena ayanga, 'Imbawele hunyumba yane yinfumile.' Lwawela ahuyaga ela inyumba ifanyiwilwe uwusafi na ili tayali.
45 Ubusuhamba uyethatha eminye imimoya eyisikhombisa exhwale okudlula wona, ingene ihlale khona. Isiphetho salowomuntu sizakuba sibi kulasekuqaleni. Kuzakuba njalo kulesisizukulwane esixhwalileyo.”
Tena abhala na hubhalete abhanje impepo imbibhi saba zizilimbibhi hani ashile iyene, bhahenza akhale wonti pala. Ni hali yakwe ya humwisho ibha mbibhi azidi iyawhande. Esho shasho shayayibha hushipapo eshi ishibhibhi.
46 UJesu elokhu esakhuluma lamaxuku abantu, unina labafowabo babemi phandle befuna ukukhuluma laye.
Umuda Uyesu lwazyongolaga ne mpoga enya, umaye wakwe na holo bhakwe bhahemeleye honze, bhahanzaga ayanje nawo.
47 Omunye wamtshela wathi, “Unyoko labafowenu bemi phandle, bafuna ukukhuluma lawe.”
Umuntu weka amozya, “Enya umaye waho na aholo bhaho bhemeleye honze, bhawhanza ayanje nawe”.
48 Wamphendula wathi, “Ngubani umama njalo ngobani abangabafowethu na?”
Ila u Yesu ajibule na hubhawozye wamozezye, “Umaye wane yu nanu? Na aholobhane bhananu?”
49 Wakhomba abafundi bakhe wathi, “Nampa abangumama labangabafowethu.
Nape anyosizye inyobhe yakwe whabhanafunzi na yanje, “Enya, ebha bhamaye naholo bhane!
50 Loba ngubani owenza intando kaBaba osezulwini ungumfowethu, ungudadewethu njalo ngumama.”
Afwatanaje wowonti wawomba amagano ga Baba wane wali humwanya, umuntu oyo ndiyo holo wane, uyilombo wane numaye wane.”
