1 Ngemva kwensuku eziyisithupha, uJesu wathatha uPhethro, loJakhobe loJohane umfowabo kaJakhobe wakhwela labo entabeni ephakemeyo lapho ababa bodwa khona.
Insiku sita pamande u Yesu abhajile wonti nu Petro, nu Yakobo, nu Yohana uholo wakwe, na abhega hadi humwanya yigamba itali bhewo bhene.
2 Bekhona lapho waguquka isimo emehlweni abo. Ubuso bakhe bakhazimula njengelanga lezigqoko zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya.
Ageusiwa whilongolela lyawo isola yakwe yan'gaa hansi isenya, na menda gakwe yaloleshe gagang'aa hansi umwanga.
3 Khonokho kwasekubonakala uMosi lo-Elija bekhuluma loJesu.
Enya, pala bhaloleshe u Musa nu Eliya bhayanga nawo.
4 UPhethro wathi kuJesu, “Nkosi, kuhle kithi ukuba lapha. Nxa uthanda ngizakwakha izihonqo ezintathu, esakho, esinye esikaMosi lesinye esika-Elija.”
U Petro ajibule na humozye u Yesu, “Gosi, shinza hulite abhe penepa. Nkesho unyonywa, imbazenje ivyegu vitatu sheka shaho, na sheka kwa ajili ya Musa, na sheka kwa ajili ya Eliya.”
5 Wathi elokhe esakhuluma, iyezi elikhazimulayo labagubuzela, ilizwi elavela eyezini lathi, “Le yiNdodana yami engiyithandayo; ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngayo. Ilaleleni!”
Isala yayangaga, enya ibhengo izelu lyabhabheha inzunda, na enya, yafumile isauti afume humabhengo, iyanga, “Oyo mwanawane uganwe wiganwa nawo. Mwivwi umwene.”
6 Abafundi bathi bekuzwa lokhu bathi mbo phansi ngobuso, besaba.
Abhanafunzi lwabhahevwa ego, bhagwiye shigubama na bhahogope hani.
7 Kodwa uJesu weza wabathinta. Wathi, “Sukumani. Lingesabi.”
Tena u Yesu ahenza na hubhaguse na yanje, “Woshi wala mugaje ahogope.”
8 Bathi bevusa amehlo kabasabonanga muntu ngaphandle kukaJesu.
Nape bhahinuye isola zyawo humwanya ila sagabhanolile umuntu ila u Yesu mwene.
9 Bathi sebesehla entabeni, uJesu wabalaya wathi, “Lingatsheli muntu ngalokhu elikubonileyo iNdodana yoMuntu ize ivuswe kwabafileyo.”
Na lwabhahihaga mwigamba, u Yesu abhalajizya, ayanga, “Musahafumye infumi zimaono ega hadi umwana wa Adamu lwaizyoha afume whazimu.”
10 Abafundi bambuza bathi, “Kungani pho abafundisi bomthetho besithi u-Elija kumele aqale afike?”
Abhanafunzi bhakwe bhamozelezya, bhayanga, “Yenu asimbi bhayanga aje u Eliya ayihenza kwanza?
11 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngeqiniso, u-Elija uyeza azolungisa kutsha izinto zonke.
U Yesu abhajibu na yanje, “U Eliya ayihenza lyoli na wezye amambo ganti.
12 Kodwa ngiyalitshela ngithi u-Elija uvele sewafika njalo kabamazanga kodwa bazenzela kuye konke ababekufuna. INdodana yoMuntu bazayihlukuluza ngaleyondlela.”
Ila ihumbawozya amwe, u Eliya ayenzele tayali ila sagabhamenye. Badala yakwe, bhamombeye amambo gabhawhanza abhene. Nesho shesho umwana wa Adamu shanzayembwe katika inyobhe zyawo.”
13 Lapho-ke abafundi basebezwisisa ukuthi wayekhuluma labo ngoJohane uMbhaphathizi.
Epo abhanafunzi bhagundula aje ayanga habari zya Yohana umozi.
14 Bathi sebefike exukwini labantu, indoda ethile yamqonda uJesu yaguqa phambi kwakhe.
Lwabhafiha pakasi yempoga ya bhantu, umunt weka amaliye, akhama amafugamo whilongolela lyakwe, na humozye,
15 Yathi, “Nkosi, ake uhawukele indodana yami. Ilezithuthwane njalo iyahlupheka kakhulu. Kanengi iwela emlilweni kumbe emanzini.
“Gosi, ukhowoshele umwana wane, kwa sababu aliningwa nayembe hani. Afwatanaje hahinji agwa mmoto au mmenze.
16 Ngiyilethile kubafundi bakho kodwa behlulekile ukuyisilisa.”
Inetile wha bhanafunzi bhaho, ila sagabhawe/i/ye huponye.
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.”
U Yesu ajibu ayanga, “Amwe ishizazi shasagashiwheteha na shishinanjishe naikhula pamo namwa hadi ndii? Imbajivwanye namwe hadi ndii? Neti epa huline.”
18 UJesu walikhuza idimoni laphuma emfaneni wahle wasila ngalesosikhathi.
U Yesu akhalipiye, na impepo yafumile. Usahala aponwa afume isala yeyela.
19 Abafundi basebesiza kuJesu ngasese bambuza bathi, “Kungani sehlulekile ukulikhupha idimoni na?”
Tena abhanafunzi bhamaliye u Yesu hu siri na humozelezye, “Yenu sagatawezizye uhudigizye?”
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. [
U Yesu abhawozya, “Kwa sababu ulweteho lwenyu dodo. Lyoli ihumbawozya, nkesho munzabhe nulweteho hata udodo hansi ipunje yimbeyu yiharadali mubhawezye huliwozye igamba eli, sama afume epa, ubhale hula, nape libhasame na saguhabhabhe na hantu hohonti haha bhashindihane humwenyu.
21 Kodwa uhlobo olunje aluphumi ngaphandle kwangomkhuleko lokuzila ukudla.]”
(Simisizya: Amazu gimusitari wi 21 “Ila, iayina ene yimpepo sigiwezehana afume, ila hunsayo na galile” Sagagaloleha humasamizyo aminza gihale).
22 Bathi sebebuthene eGalile wathi kubo, “INdodana yoMuntu izanikelwa ezandleni zabantu.
Isala zyabhali bado Hugalilaya, u Yesu abhawozya abhanafunzi bhakwe, “Umwana wa Adamu abhabheshwe munyobhe zya bhantu.
23 Bazayibulala, kuthi ngosuku lwesithathu izavuswa kwabafileyo.” Abafundi badabuka kakhulu.
Na bhanzahugoje, ni siku lya tatu ayizyoha.” Abhanafunzi bhazugumiye hani.
24 UJesu labafundi bakhe sebefikile eKhaphenawume, abaqoqi bomthelo wamadrakhima amabili beza kuPhethro babuza bathi, “Umfundisi wenu kawuhlawuli yini umthelo wethempeli?”
Nape lwabhafiha Hukapernaumu, abhantu bhabhawonganya ikodi yinusu shekeli bhamalila u Petro na yanje, “Aje umwalimu wenyu alipa ikodi yinusu shekeli?”
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?”
Ayanga, “Ee” Ila u Petro lwayinjila mukasi yinyumba, u Yesu ayanga nu Petro kwanza na yanje, “Usebhelelanshi Simoni? Amwene bhense, bhaposhela ikodi au uwushuru afume whananu? Whabhala bhahubhatabhala afume wha bhajenu?
26 UPhethro waphendula wathi, “Kwabanye abantu.” UJesu wasesithi kuye, “Ngakho-ke amadodana akhululekile.
Ni sala u Petro lwayangaga, “Afume whajenu” U Yesu amozya esho bhabhatabhalwa bhefiwilwe kati alipe.
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.”
Ila tisabhawombe asonkolezya ikodi bhawombe imbibhi bhala mbahari taga udobhani na uyeje ila eswe yewhenza kwanza. Baada ya hugule ilomu lyakwe ubhahuyaje omo asonkolezya ikodi kwa ajili yane na we.
