UMathewu 17
1 Ngemva kwensuku eziyisithupha, uJesu wathatha uPhethro, loJakhobe loJohane umfowabo kaJakhobe wakhwela labo entabeni ephakemeyo lapho ababa bodwa khona.
A HALA ae la na la eono, kono ae la o Iesu ia Petero me Iakobo a me Ioane kona kaikaina, a kai aku la ia lakou ma kahi mehameha ma ka mauna kiekie.
2 Bekhona lapho waguquka isimo emehlweni abo. Ubuso bakhe bakhazimula njengelanga lezigqoko zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya.
Hoopahaohaoia iho la ia imua o lakou; alohi mai la kona helehelena e like me ka la, a keokeo mai la kona aahu e like me ka malamalama.
3 Khonokho kwasekubonakala uMosi lo-Elija bekhuluma loJesu.
Aia hoi, ikea ae la e lakou o Mose a me Elia e kamailio pu ana me ia.
4 UPhethro wathi kuJesu, “Nkosi, kuhle kithi ukuba lapha. Nxa uthanda ngizakwakha izihonqo ezintathu, esakho, esinye esikaMosi lesinye esika-Elija.”
Olelo aku la o Petero ia Iesu, i aku la, E ka Haku, he pono no kakou ke noho maanei; ina oe e makemake, e kukulu makou i mau halelewa i ekolu, nou kekahi, no Mose kekahi, a no Elia kekahi.
5 Wathi elokhe esakhuluma, iyezi elikhazimulayo labagubuzela, ilizwi elavela eyezini lathi, “Le yiNdodana yami engiyithandayo; ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngayo. Ilaleleni!”
Ia ia i olelo aku ai, aia hoi, he ao alohilohi i uhi mai ia lakou; a he leo mailoko mai o ke ao i pae mai la, O ka'u Keiki punahele keia, ka mea a'u i olioli loa ai; e hoolohe oukou ia ia.
6 Abafundi bathi bekuzwa lokhu bathi mbo phansi ngobuso, besaba.
A lohe ae la na haumana, moe iho la lakou ilalo ke alo, makau loa ae la.
7 Kodwa uJesu weza wabathinta. Wathi, “Sukumani. Lingesabi.”
Hele mai la o Iesu, hoopa iho la ia lakou, i mai la, E ala'e, mai makau oukou.
8 Bathi bevusa amehlo kabasabonanga muntu ngaphandle kukaJesu.
Alawa ae la ko lakou maka iluna, aole lakou i ike i ke kanaka e ae, ia Iesu wale no.
9 Bathi sebesehla entabeni, uJesu wabalaya wathi, “Lingatsheli muntu ngalokhu elikubonileyo iNdodana yoMuntu ize ivuswe kwabafileyo.”
A iho mai la lakou mai ka mauna mai, papa mai la o Iesu ia lakou, i mai la, Mai hai aku oukou i ka oukou mea i ike iho nei, a ala mai ke Keiki a ke kanaka mai ka make mai.
10 Abafundi bambuza bathi, “Kungani pho abafundisi bomthetho besithi u-Elija kumele aqale afike?”
Ninau aku la na haumana ana ia ia, i aku la, No ke aha la e olelo mai nei ka poe kakauolelo, o Elia ke hele e mai mamua e pono ai?
11 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngeqiniso, u-Elija uyeza azolungisa kutsha izinto zonke.
Olelo mai la o Iesu ia lakou, i mai la, O Elia no ke hele e mai mamua e pono ai, a e hooponopono i na mea a pau.
12 Kodwa ngiyalitshela ngithi u-Elija uvele sewafika njalo kabamazanga kodwa bazenzela kuye konke ababekufuna. INdodana yoMuntu bazayihlukuluza ngaleyondlela.”
Ke olelo aku nei no hoi au ia oukou, Ua hiki e mai no o Elia, aole nae lakou i ike ia ia; aka, ua hana aku lakou ia ia i ka mea a lakou i makemake ai. Pela no hoi ke Keiki a ke kanaka e hana eha ia'i e lakou.
13 Lapho-ke abafundi basebezwisisa ukuthi wayekhuluma labo ngoJohane uMbhaphathizi.
Alaila ike iho la na haumana, o Ioane Bapetite kana i olelo mai ai ia lakou.
14 Bathi sebefike exukwini labantu, indoda ethile yamqonda uJesu yaguqa phambi kwakhe.
A hiki ae la lakou i ka poe kanaka, hele mai la kekahi kanaka io na la, kukuli iho la imua ona, i mai la,
15 Yathi, “Nkosi, ake uhawukele indodana yami. Ilezithuthwane njalo iyahlupheka kakhulu. Kanengi iwela emlilweni kumbe emanzini.
E ka Haku, e aloha mai oe i ka'u keiki; no ka mea, ua loohia ia e ka mai hina, ua eha loa, ua hina pinepine ia iloko o ke ahi, a iloko o ka wai.
16 Ngiyilethile kubafundi bakho kodwa behlulekile ukuyisilisa.”
A lawe mai la au ia ia i kau poe haumana, aole hoi i hiki ia lakou ke hoola ia ia.
17 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Oh, lina sizukulwane esingakholwayo lesonakeleyo. Ngizahlala lani kuze kube nini na? Ngizalibekezelela kuze kube nini na? Mletheni lapha kimi umfana lowo.”
Olelo mai la o Iesu, i mai la, E ka hanauna manaoio ole a me ka hewa! Pehea hoi ka loihi o ko'u noho pu ana me oukou? Pehea hoi ka loihi o ko'u hoomanawanui ana'ku ia oukou? E lawe mai ia ia io'u nei.
18 UJesu walikhuza idimoni laphuma emfaneni wahle wasila ngalesosikhathi.
Papa aku la o Iesu ia ia, a puka aku la ka daimonio iwaho ona; a ola iho la ua keiki la mai ia hora mai.
19 Abafundi basebesiza kuJesu ngasese bambuza bathi, “Kungani sehlulekile ukulikhupha idimoni na?”
Alaila, hele malu aku la na haumana io Iesu la, ninau aku la, No ke aha la i hiki ole ai ia makou ke mahiki aku ia ia?
20 Waphendula wathi, “Ngoba ukholo lwenu luncinyane. Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi nxa lingaba lokukholwa loba kukuncinyane njengentanga yemastadi, lingathi entabeni le, ‘Suduluka lapha uye laphayana’ izasuduluka. Kakukho kini okungasoze kwenzeke. [
I mai la o Iesu ia lakou, No ko oukou manaoio ole. He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, ina he like ko oukou manaoio me kekahi hua makeke, a olelo aku paha oukou i keia mauna, E nee aku oe i o, a e nee aku no ia; aole mea hiki ole ia oukou.
21 Kodwa uhlobo olunje aluphumi ngaphandle kwangomkhuleko lokuzila ukudla.]”
Aka, aole e puka wale aku ka mea me neia, aia ma ka pule a me ka hookeai wale no.
22 Bathi sebebuthene eGalile wathi kubo, “INdodana yoMuntu izanikelwa ezandleni zabantu.
I ko lakou noho ana ma Galilaia, i mai la o Iesu ia lakou, E kumakaia'ku ke Keiki a ke kanaka iloko o na lima o kanaka:
23 Bazayibulala, kuthi ngosuku lwesithathu izavuswa kwabafileyo.” Abafundi badabuka kakhulu.
Na lakou ia e pepehi a make, a po akolu ae e hoalaia mai ai ia. A kaumaha loa iho la lakou.
24 UJesu labafundi bakhe sebefikile eKhaphenawume, abaqoqi bomthelo wamadrakhima amabili beza kuPhethro babuza bathi, “Umfundisi wenu kawuhlawuli yini umthelo wethempeli?”
A hiki aku la lakou i Kaperenauma, hele mai la ka poe auhau hapaha io Petero la, i mai la, Aole anei e hookupu mai ka oukou kumu i ka hapaha?
25 Wathi, “Yebo, uyawuthela.” Kwathi uPhethro engena endlini, uJesu nguye owakhuluma kuqala, wabuza wathi, “Ucabangani kambe Simoni? Amakhosi omhlaba ayithatha kubani inkongozelo lemithelo, emadodaneni abo na loba kwabanye abantu?”
I aku la ia, Ae. A komo aku la ia iloko o ka hale, olelo mua mai la o Iesu ia ia, i mai la, Heaha kou manao, e Simona, owai ka poe hookupu aku i ka mea auhau a me ka uku i na alii o keia ao? o ka lakou poe keiki anei, a o na kanaka e paha?
26 UPhethro waphendula wathi, “Kwabanye abantu.” UJesu wasesithi kuye, “Ngakho-ke amadodana akhululekile.
I aku la Petero ia ia, O kanaka e. I mai la Iesu ia ia, Alaila, ua kaawale na keiki.
27 Kodwa ukuze singabakhubi, yana echibini uphosele iwuka yakho khona. Ubothatha inhlanzi yokuqala ozayibamba, uvule umlomo wayo uzafumana khona uhlamvu lwemali engamadrakhima amane. Uyithathe ubaphe ibe ngumthelo wami lowenu.”
Aka, o hoonaukiuki kakou ia lakou, e hele aku oe i ka moanawai, e hoolei aku i ka makau, a e huki mai i ka ia mua e lou mai ana; a i ka wehe ana i kona waha, e loaa ia oe kekahi hapalua: oia kau e lawe ai, a e haawi aku ia lakou no kaua.
