UMathewu 13
1 Ngalolosuku uJesu waphuma endlini wayahlala eceleni kwechibi.
Whisiku lila u Yesu asogoye munyumba na khale hunshenje yibahavi.
2 Amaxuku abantu aminyezelana kuye waze wangena esikepeni wahlala kuso, abantu bonke bona babemi okhunjini.
Empoga ingosi yiwongene whahu zyongole, ahinjiye mkasi yitoli nakhale mhati yakwe. Empoga yonti yahemeleye hunshenje yibahari.
3 Wasebatshela izinto ezinengi esebenzisa imizekeliso, wathi, “Umlimi waphuma wayahlanyela inhlanyelo yakhe.
Tena u Yesu ayanjile amazu aminji hushifwani, ayanjile, “Enya, utote abhalile atote.
4 Kwathi eyihaza inhlanyelo, eyinye yawela endleleni, izinyoni zafika zayidobha yonke.
Lwatotaga baadhi yimbeyu zyagwiye hunshenje yidala ni nyonyi zyahenzele zyajobile.
5 Eyinye yawela okhetheni lapho okwakungela mhlabathi owaneleyo. Yaphanga yamila ngoba umhlabathi wawungatshoni.
Imbeyu izyamwawo zyagwiye pamwanya yipakhome, ambazyo saga zyapatile ilongo lyakwelane. Gafla zyamelile afwatanaje ilongo sagalya li nishimo.
6 Kodwa kwathi ilanga seliphumile yahanguleka yabuna ngoba yayingelampande.
Tena isenya lwalyatukula zyapembwilwe kwa sababu sagazuali namazi zyahoma.
7 Eyinye yawela phakathi kwameva, asuka akhula ayiminya inhlanyelo.
Imbeyu izyamwawo zyagwiye muhati yimakwi gimivwa. Amakwi gimivwa gatalimpine humwanya gaziziba.
8 Eyinye inhlanyelo yawela emhlabathini omuhle lapho eyathela khona izithelo eziphindwe okungabalikhulu, kumbe okungamatshumi ayisithupha loba okungamatshumi amathathu ukudlula leyo eyayihlanyelwe.
Imbeyu izyamwawo zyagwiye mwilongo ilinza na pape imbeyu, zimo mara mia moja hani, zimo sitini ni zyamwawo thelasini.
9 Lowo olendlebe kezwe.”
Wali namakutu ayevwaje.
10 Abafundi beza kuye bambuza bathi, “Kungani ukhuluma ebantwini ngemizekeliso na?”
Abhanafunzi bhahenzele nahumozye u Yesu, “Yenu uyanga numukutano hushifwani?”
11 Waphendula wathi, “Ulwazi lwemfihlakalo yombuso wezulu luphiwe lina hatshi bona.
U Yesu abhajibu abhawozya, “Mupewilwe uganilizi wa manye isiri ziumwene wahumwanya, ila humwao sagabhapewilwe.
12 Lowo olakho, uzaphiwa kwengezelelwe abesesiba lokunengi kakhulu. Lowo ongelakho, lalokho alakho uzakwemukwa.
Ila wowonti walinasho, whamwene anzahonjezewe hani, na ayipata ifaida ingosi. Ila wasagaalinasho hata shila shali nasho ayifyolwa.
13 Lokhu yikho okungenza ngikhulume kubo ngemizekeliso: Ngoba loba bekhangele kababoni; loba belalele kabezwa njalo kabaqedisisi.
Esho alihizya anawo hushifwani husababu hata bhalola, sagabhalola lyoli. Na hata bhahevwa sagabhahevwa wala ahelewe.
14 Kubo isiphrofethi sika-Isaya siyagcwaliseka, esokuthi: ‘Lizahlala lisizwa kodwa lingaqedisisi; lizahlala libona kodwa lingabonisisi.
Ukwe wa Isaya wutimiye humwawo, wula wuwuyanga, “Iwamuhevwa sagamuhevwa, ila hunamuna yoyonti ela sagamumanya.
15 Ngoba inhliziyo zalababantu sezaba lukhuni; kabasezwa ngezindlebe zabo njalo sebawavala amehlo abo. Funa babone ngamehlo abo, bezwe ngezindlebe zabo, baqedisise ngezinhliziyo zabo, baphenduke bese ngibasilisa.’
Na moyo gabhantu ebha galihisi, shikhome ahevwe, na bhagubishe amaso gawo, ili bhasawezye alole humaso gawo, au ahovwe humakutu gawo, au amanye humoyo gawo, esho bhangewushilaga tena, nenzagahubhaponyle.'
16 Kodwa abusisiwe amehlo enu ngoba ayabona lezindlebe zenu ziyezwa.
Ila amambo genyu gasayiwilwe, afwatanaje galola, namakutu genyu afwatanaje gawhevwa.
17 Ngoba ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi abaphrofethi abanengi lamadoda alungileyo balangazela ukukubona lokhu elikubonayo kodwa kabakubonanga, lokuzwa lokhu elikuzwayo kodwa kabakuzwanga.
Lyoli iwhumbawozya akuwe abhinji na bhantu bhihaki bhali ni hamu yalole amambo gala gamuhu galola, sagabhawezizye hugalole. Bhasongwelwe awhevwe amambo gula gamuhugevwa, sagabhagevwelwe.
18 Lalelani-ke lizwe ukuthi utshoni umzekeliso womhlanyeli:
Eshi tejelezi umufano gwatote.
19 Nxa umuntu esizwa ilizwi ngombuso kodwa engabambisisi, omubi uyeza ahwithe lokho obekuhlanyelwe enhliziyweni yakhe. Yiyo le inhlanyelo eyahlanyelwa endleleni.
Isala yeyonti lwahevwa izu liumwene na asalyelewe, epo umibhi awhenza nahushifwampe shishi malishe atotwe muhati yimoyo gwakwe. Ene mbeyu ela yitotilwe hunshenje yidala.
20 Inhlanyelo eyawela okhetheni ngumuntu olizwayo ilizwi aphange alamukele ngentokozo.
Uwene watolile mukhome yoyola ahulyevwa izu na huliposhele whadigane hulusongo.
21 Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi kalampande, nxa okwesikhatshana kuphela. Nxa kufika uhlupho lokuhlukunyezwa ngenxa yelizwi uphanga akhubeke.
Bado sagaalinamazi muhati yakwe, ila ajimbilila humuda ufupi uwakati amashida au mayemba lwagafumila kwa sababu yizu abomela gafla.
22 Inhlanyelo eyawela phakathi kwameva ngumuntu olizwayo ilizwi kodwa lisuke landelwe yizinhlupheko zale impilo lenkohliso yenotho, lingabe lisaba lezithelo. (aiōn g165)
Watotile mhati yimivwa, ono yoyola wahevwa izu ila amatatizo gense nu gobezi wi utabhazi guhulifuniha lila izu lisahapape amatunda. (aiōn g165)
23 Kodwa leyonhlanyelo eyawela emhlabathini ovundileyo ngumuntu olizwayo ilizwi alizwisise. Lo nguye othela izithelo ezinengi ngekhulu, ngamatshumi ayisithupha loba ngamatshumi amathathu okudlula lokho okwahlanyelwayo.”
Watotilwe mwilongo ilinza, ono yoyola wahulyevwa izu na hulyelewe ono yoyola wapapa amatunda na whendelele apape lyeka hani yimala mia, ilyamwowo sitini, iyamwawo thelathini.”
24 UJesu wabatshela omunye umzekeliso wathi, “Umbuso wezulu unjengomuntu owahlanyela inhlanyelo enhle ensimini yakhe.
U Yesu abhapiye usifwani ishamwawo. Ayanga, “Umwene wa humwanya ulenganiswa nu muntu watotile imbeyu inyinza mugonda gwakwe.
25 Kodwa kwathi ngesikhathi wonke umuntu elele, isitha sakhe seza sahlanyela ukhula phakathi kwengqoloyi, sahamba.
Ila abhantu lwabhasinzila, umibhi wakwe ayenza nape atota amagogo mhati yingano tena abhala mweene.
26 Kwathi ingqoloyi isikhahlele yabumba izikhwebu, ukhula lalo lwavela.
Pamande ingano lwayamela na fumye amazawo gakwe, nape amagogo gajitokezyezye.
27 Izinceku zomninisivini zeza kuye zathi, ‘Nkosi, kanti kawuhlanyelanga yini inhlanyelo enhle ensimini yakho na? Pho ukhula luvele ngaphi?’
Na awombi bhamwenesho gonda bhahenza bhamozya, 'Gosi, sagawatotile imbeyu inyinza mogonda gwaho? Iliwele eshi lili namagogo?
28 Waphendula wathi, ‘Kwenziwe yisitha lokhu.’ Zambuza izinceku zathi, ‘Uyafuna yini ukuthi siyelusiphuna na?’
Abhawozya, umibhi awombile eli.' Awombi bhamozezye, “Eshi uwhanzaje tibhale tigasenye?”
29 Waphendula wathi, ‘Hatshi, ngoba lizakuthi lisiphuna ukhula liqabuke selisiphuna amabele kanye lalo.
We gonda ayanjile, 'Ndadi, umuda gwamusenya amagogo munzasenye pamo ni ngano.
30 Kuyekeleni kukhule ndawonye kuze kube yisikhathi sokuvuna. Lapho-ke, ngizakuthi kubavuni, Qalani ngokuqoqa ukhula lilubophe izinyanda ukuba lutshiswe, beseliqoqa amabele liwalethe esiphaleni sami.’”
Galeshi gakule pamo hadi umuda gwa vune. Isala zimavuno nayiyanga whavunaji, 'Kwanza senyi amagogo nagapinyi mpoga mpoga nahugapembe, ila kusanyi ingano mwighala lyane.”
31 Wabatshela omunye umzekeliso wathi, “Umbuso wezulu ufana lentanga yemastadi eyathathwa ngenye indoda yayihlanyela ensimini yayo.
Tena u Yesu abhafumizizye ishifani ishawawo. Ayanga, uwumwene wa humwanya ulengene ni mbeyu yiharadali ambayo umuntu ahejile na huyitote mogonda gwakwe.
32 Lanxa incinyane kulentanga yenhlanyelo zonke, kodwa ithi ingakhula ibe yisihlahla esikhulu kulazo zonke, izinyoni zezulu zibuye, zithole ukuphumula ezingatsheni zaso.”
Imbeyu ene huwuhakika ndodo ashile imbeyu izyamwawo zyonti. Ila nkayamela ibha ngosi ashile amakwi gonti gamubustani, libha likwi, ikiasi aje inyonyi zya humwanya ziwhenza na zenje vitenjeli mmatawi gakwe.”
33 Waphinda wabatshela omunye umzekeliso wathi, “Umbuso wezulu ufana lemvubelo eyathathwa ngowesifazane wayixubanisa lempuphu enengi, yabila yagcwala inhlama yonke.”
Abhawozya ishifani ishamwawo tena, “Uwumwene wahumwanya hansi usafu wula yiyegwiwilwe noshe nahuyisanganye huvipimilo vitatu huwusu hadi vitute.
34 UJesu wakhuluma zonke lezizinto exukwini labantu ngemizekeliso; kazange akhulume lutho kubo engasebenzisanga umzekeliso.
Ego gonti u Yesu gayanjile whempoga yabhantu hushifwani. Na nila shifwani sagayanjile shoshonti humwawo.
35 Ngakho kwagcwaliseka okwakhulunywa ngomphrofethi ukuthi: “Ngizavula umlomo wami ngemizekeliso, ngizakutsho izinto ezifihliweyo selokhu kwadatshulwa umhlaba.”
Eli lyali aje shila shashamalishe ayangwe ashilile akuwe shiwezye atimile, pala payangaga, “Nayiwhasama ilomu lyane hushifwani. Nayiyanga amambo gala gagaleho gafisiwilwe afume umusingi gwense.”
36 Wasesuka exukwini waya endlini. Abafundi bakhe beza kuye bathi, “Sichazele umzekeliso wokhula ensimini.”
Tena u Yesu abhaleshile amakutano na bhale kukhaya. Abhanafunzi bhakwe bhamaliye nayanje, “Tifafabulile ishifani shimagogo gahugonda.”
37 Waphendula wathi, “Lowo owahlanyela inhlanyelo enhle yiNdodana yoMuntu.
U Yesu ajibu nayanje, “Watolile imbeyu inyinza yumwana wa Adamu.
38 Insimu ngumhlaba njalo inhlanyelo enhle imele abantu bombuso. Ukhula lungabantu bomubi
Ugonda anse; ni mbeyu inyinza, ebha bhana bhiemwene. Amagogo bhana bhola umibhi, numibhi wazitotile yusetano.
39 njalo isitha esiluhlanyelayo nguSathane. Isivuno siyikuphela kwesikhathi njalo abavuni yizingilosi. (aiōn g165)
Na mavuno mwisho wense, na wavunaji yuntumi. (aiōn g165)
40 Njengalokhu ukhula lusitshunwa lutshiswe emlilweni, kuzakuba njalo ekupheleni kwesikhathi. (aiōn g165)
Hansi shila amagogo shagakusanywa na pembwe mmoto, asho shesho shayayibha pamwisho wense. (aiōn g165)
41 Indodana yoMuntu izathuma izingilosi zayo, zikhuphe konke okuyizikhubekiso embusweni wayo, labo bonke abenza ububi.
Umwana wa Adamu ayihusontelezya untumi wakwe, na wonganye afume umwene wakwe amambo gonti gagasababisizye imbibhi na bhala bhabha womba imbibhi.
42 Zizabaphosela esihogweni somlilo ovuthayo okuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla kwamazinyo. (questioned)
Bhayihubhataga wonti mwitanulu li moto, ambaho whayibha iholo nasye amino.
43 Lapho-ke, abalungileyo bazakhazimula njengelanga embusweni kaYise wabo. Lowo olendlebe, kezwe.”
Epo abhantu bhi haki lwabha yizelupa hansi isenya mwiwumwene wa Baba wawo. Umwene wali namakutu na ayevwaje.
44 “Umbuso wezulu unjengenotho efihliweyo esivandeni. Kwathi indoda isiyitholile yayifihla njalo, kwathi ngoba iphakathi kokuthokoza, yahamba yayathengisa konke eyayilakho yayathenga lesosivande.
Umwene wahumwanya ulihansi ihazina yifisiwilwe mugonda. Umuntu ayilola nahuyifise. Katika ulusongo lwakwe abhala akazye vyonti vyalinavyo nakale ogonda.
45 Njalo umbuso wezulu ufana lomthengi edinga amaphareli amahle.
Tena, uwumwene wa humwanya uli hansi umuntu wawomba ibiashara ahanza ilulu yi thamani.
46 Kwathi esefumene elinye elalilentengo ephezulu wahamba wayathengisa konke ayelakho walithenga.”
Umuda gwayilola ela yi thamani, abhala akazya kila hantu shali nasho na huyikale.
47 “Futhi umbuso wezulu ufana lomambule owehliselwa phansi echibini wagola zonke inhlobo zezinhlanzi.
Uwomwene wa humwanya ulihansi ulwego wauli muhati yibahari, naluwonganya iviwumbe vinamuna yonti.
48 Wathi usugcwele, abagoli bezinhlanzi bawudonsela okhunjini. Basebehlala phansi, baqoqela ezitsheni zonke inhlanzi ezinhle kodwa ezimbi bazilahla.
Lwalwamema ulwego bhaluvutiye pamwanya. Tena bhakhala pansi bhawonganya ivintu ivinza muhati yivyombo, ila vyasaga vili ni thamani vyatagwilwe uhutali.
49 Lokhu yikho okuzakwenzakala ekupheleni kwesikhathi. Izingilosi zizakuza zehlukanise ababi kwabalungileyo, (aiōn g165)
Yayibha inamuna ene humwisho wense. Antumi bhayihenza nahubhatenje abhantu abhabhibhi afume mu myongoni mubhihaki. (aiōn g165)
50 zibaphosele esihogweni somlilo ovuthayo, lapho okuzakuba khona lokukhala kanye lokugedla kwamazinyo.” (questioned)
Na tagwe muhati yitanuli limoto, uho whayibha akhole nasye amino.
51 UJesu wababuza wathi, “Selizizwisisile zonke lezizinto na?” Bathi, “Yebo.”
Mumenye amambo gonti ega? Bhanafunzi bhajibule, “Ee.”
52 Wathi kubo, “Ngakho wonke umfundisi womthetho osephenduke waba ngumfundi wombuso wezulu unjengomnini wendlu okhupha esiphaleni sakhe amagugu amatsha lamadala.”
Tena u Yesu abhawozya, “Kila simbi wali mwanafunzi wiwumwene alengene numwenebho nyumba wafumya muhazina yakwe ivintu ivipya nivihale.”
53 UJesu eseqedile imizekeliso le wasuka lapho wahamba.
Baada ya Yesu lwamala amifano gonti ego, asogola isehemu eyo.
54 Wafika edolobheni lakibo waqalisa ukufundisa abantu esinagogweni labo, bamangala. Babuza bathi, “Indoda le yayithatha ngaphi inhlakanipho le lamandla la ayisimangaliso kangaka?
Tena u Yesu afiha humukowa gwakwe nahubhafundizye abhantu mwishibhanza. Amatokeo gajwe bhaswijile nayanje, “Hoshi umuntu ono whapatile injele ene na mayele ega?
55 Kanti lo kayisiyo indodana yombazi na? Ibizo likanina kasuMariya na, labafowabo kakusiJakhobe, uJosefa, uSimoni loJudasi na?
Umuntu ono saga mwana wa Seremala? Umariamu saga mayewakwe? Na aholo bhakwe saga yu Yakobo, Yusufu, Simoni nu Yuda?
56 Odadewabo kabakho lapha kanye lathi na? Pho indoda le yazizuza ngaphi izinto zonke lezi?”
Na ayilombo bhakwe filinabho penepa pamwetu? Eshi umuntu ono agaje whi ega gonti?”.
57 Bakhubeka ngaye. Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo, “Umphrofethi kaladumo edolobheni lakibo lasendlini yakwabo.”
Abhavisizye, ila u Yesu abhawozezye, “Ukuwe sagakosa abhe ninshinshi ila humwawo na honse yawo.
58 Kasenzanga izimangaliso ezinengi khona ngenxa yokusilela kwabo ekukholweni.
Na sagawezizye awombe amayele aminji kwa sababu sagabhali nolweteho anawo.
