< UMathewu 21 >
1 Bathi sebesondela eJerusalema, bafika eBhethifage eNtabeni yama-Oliva, uJesu wathuma abafundi ababili,
U Yesu na wanafunzi wakwe bhahafia karibu Huyerusalemu na wakhawala mpaka Bethfage, hwi gamba ilya mizeituni, nantele u Yesu akhabhawonzya awanafunzi wawele,
2 wathi kubo, “Yanini emzini ophambi kwenu, khonapho lizabona inkonyane kababhemi lobabhemi ebotshelwe khonapho. Libakhulule libuye labo kimi.
akhawawozya, “Walaji hushijiji shishili hwilongolela isala zyezi munza huyanje idogobhi ipinyilwe pala, inyanadango yakwe. Mubhaule na huwalete huline.
3 Nxa kungaba lozalibuza, limtshele ukuthi iNkosi yiyo ebafunayo, uzahle abayekele bahambe masinyane.”
Nkha muntu wowonti ahuwawozya lioliontu ahusu elyo, munza, `U Bwana ahubhanza, ` umuntu unyo hani hani anza huwenteshe ahwenze nayo”
4 Lokhu kwenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngomphrofethi ukuthi:
Ijambo elyo lyahafumie lilila lyakhayangwilwe na watumi lazima lifumile. Shakhabhawozezye,
5 “Tshela iNdodakazi yaseZiyoni ukuthi, ‘Khangela, inkosi yakho iyeza kuwe, imnene igade ubabhemi, iphezu kwenkonyane, inkonyane kababhemi.’”
Bhawozye abhalendu bhahusayuni, enyhi uumwene wakho hu za humwenyu umwololo akhangaliye idogobhi umwana dogobhi unume, umwana dogobhi umembha.
6 Abafundi bahamba benza njengokulaywa kwabo nguJesu.
Nantele awanafunzi bhahasogola nawombhe nanzi u Yesu shabhalajizizye.
7 Baletha inkonyane kababhemi lobabhemi, bendlala amajazi abo phezu kwabobabhemi ukuze uJesu ahlale phezu kwawo.
Bhakhanetela idogobhi nu mwana dogobhi nawhesha amenda gao humwanya yao, nape u Yesu ahakhala pala.
8 Ixuku elikhulu lendlala amajazi alo endleleni, kukanti abanye bephula ingatsha ezihlahleni bazendlala endleleni.
Whinchi bhakhawongeni wakhala amenda gao mwidala, na awamo bhahadumuye amadhanzala afume mumakwi bhahalile mubalabala.
9 Amaxuku ayehamba phambi kwakhe lalawo ayelandela amemeza athi, “Hosana kuyo iNdodana kaDavida!” “Ubusisiwe lowo obuya ngebizo likaThixo!” “Hosana ezulwini eliphezulu!”
Awhinchi bhabhahatagaliye u Yesu bhala bhabhahafuatile u Yesu bhahabhanjile bhahayanga, “Hosana umwana wa Daudi! Usayhiwilwe uyezela hwitawa lya Bwana. Hosana humwa hani!”
10 Kwathi uJesu esengenile eJerusalema, umuzi wonke wanyakazela, abantu babuzana bathi, “Kanti ngubani lo?”
U Yesu lwahafia Huyerusalemu, umji ghonti gwakhongopa nayanje aje, “Uno yu nanu?
11 Amaxuku aphendula athi, “Lo nguJesu, umphrofethi waseNazaretha eGalile.”
“Awhichi wakhayanga, “Onho yu Yesu utumwa, afume Hunazareti ya Hugalilaya.”
12 UJesu wangena egumeni lethempeli wabaxotsha bonke ababethenga lababethengisa khona. Wagenqula amatafula alabo ababentshintshela abanye izimali lezihlalo zabathengisa amajuba.
Nantele u Yesu ahinjila hushiwanza sha Ngolobhe ahawamanyizya hoze wunti bhahakalaga na kazye mshiwanza. Antele ahagwisizye imeza zya bhahakalananga ihela ni vinti vyakhabhakazianga iunda.
13 Wathi kubo, “Kulotshiwe ukuthi, ‘Indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yokukhuleka,’kodwa lina seliyenza ‘ubhalu lwabaphangi.’”
Akhawawozya, “Isimbwilwe, “Inyumba yane inzakwiziwe nyumba ya puutile, `eshi amwe muyiweshele lipaho lya hupele.”
14 Iziphofu labaqhugezelayo beza kuye ethempelini wabasilisa.
Naulele bwawabadiye bhakhalemeye bhahamalila hushibhanza nape akhabhaponizye.
15 Kodwa kwathi abaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho bebona izimanga ayezenza labantwana bememeza egumeni lethempeli besithi, “Hosana kuyo iNdodana kaDavida,” banengeka.
Lakini awagosi wishiwanzya na abhasimbi lwabhakhalola amayele gawombile, na lwabhahovya awana bhabwanga ishongo mshibhaza na ayanje, “Hosana amwana wa Daudi,” bhakhakhatwilwe ni lioyo.
16 Bambuza bathi, “Uyabezwa nje abantwana laba ukuthi bathini?” Waphendula uJesu wathi, “Yebo, kalikaze lifunde ukuthi, ‘Ezindebeni zabantwana lensane wena Nkosi uyimisile indumiso’?”
Bhakhamuozezye, uyumvyezye shabhayanga ewa abhantu?” U Yesu akhabhawozya, “Eee! inovyezye, lakini sagamuwahile abhazye afume humalomo gabhana na awasanga bhabhahoha muli indombo kamili?”
17 Wasebatshiya waphuma edolobheni waya eBhethani lapho alala khona.
Nantele u Yesu akhawaleha akhawala honze yikhaya huu Bethania na ahagona khuho.
18 Ekuseni kakhulu esebuyela edolobheni wezwa eselambile.
Ishandabhe lwakhawelanga humjini akhali ni nzala.
19 Wabona isihlahla somkhiwa eceleni kwendlela, waqambukela kuso kodwa wathola kungelalutho kuso ngaphandle kwamahlamvu nje. Wasesithi kuso, “Ungaphindi uthele izithelo lanini!” Khonapho nje isihlahla sahle sabuna. (aiōn )
Akhalola ikwi pambembe yi barabara. Akhawala, lakini sagaahapente ahantu humwanya yankwe ila amatundu. Akhaliwozezye, “Usahabhe namadondo wila wila nantele.” Amasala gengo ikwi lila lyahoma. (aiōn )
20 Abafundi bathi bekubona lokhu bamangala kakhulu. Babuza bathi, “Kwenzeke kanjani ukuthi isihlahla somkhiwa sibune masinyane kangaka?”
Abhansukulu lwabhakhalola, bhakhaswinjile na yanje, “Yabhawele ikwi lyomele sheshi sheshikhani?”
21 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ngithi nxa lilokukholwa njalo lingathandabuzi, kalisoze lenze okwenziwe kulesi isihlahla somkhiwa kuphela kodwa njalo lingathi kule intaba, ‘Suka, uziphosele olwandle,’ lakanye kuzenzeka.
U Yesu akhabhajimbu akhabhawozya lyoli ihumbawozya aje khamli nu lwetekho bila uwonga, sangamzawombe shishiwhumbeshe hwikwi tu, lakini mnzahuwhuzye hata elugamba lyengwe na hulitanje mwidimi igosi na inzawombeshe.
22 Nxa likholwa, lizaphiwa loba yini eliyicelayo ngomkhuleko.”
Lyolyonti lyamza labhe na punte nkhamli nulweuteho munzaposhele.”
23 UJesu wangena ethempelini, kwathi elokhu efundisa abaphristi abakhulu labadala babantu beza kuye. Bambuza bathi, “Izinto lezi uzenza ngawaphi amandla na? Ngubani okunike amandla la?”
U Yesu lwakhafika mshibhanza awagosi bha makuhani na bhagogolo bha bhantu wakhamalila lwahamanyizianga, na wakhamozya, “Hungovu wele uwomba amambo enga? Na yu nanu apiye ingovu enzi?”
24 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Lami ngizalibuza umbuzo owodwa. Lingangiphendula, ngizalitshela ukuthi ngizenza ngawaphi amandla lezizinto.
U Yesu ahawajibu na hubhawozye, “Nane ihumba whuzya iswali lyekha. Nkhamuhubozya anje anane iwombo enga hungovu ya nanu.
25 Ubhaphathizo lukaJohane lwavela ngaphi na? Lwavela ezulwini loba ebantwini na?” Bangunguna bodwa ngalokho bathi, “Nxa singathi, ‘Lwavela ezulwini,’ uzakuthi, ‘Pho kungani lingazange limkholwe na?’
Uwhoziwa wa Yohana- wakhafumile hwii, humwanya au hwa wantu?” Bhanayangana wene, aje, nkhatiyanje whakhafumile humwanya, `anzahutiwhozye shonu sangamwaha mweteshe? `
26 Kodwa singathi, ‘Lwavela ebantwini,’ sesaba abantu ngoba bonke uJohane bamthatha njengomphrofethi.”
Nantele nkhatiyanje whakhafumile hwabhantu, `tihuwongopa wishiwaza, sababu whunti bhahunola u Yohana aje yutumi.”
27 Ngakho bamphendula uJesu bathi, “Kasikwazi.” Ngakho wasesithi, “Lami kangiyikulitshela ukuthi izinto lezi ngizenza ngamandla bani.”
Nantele bhahajibu u Yesu, “Sagatimanye” Akhabhawozya nape nane sangaihumbawhuzya hungovu wele iwhomba amambo ega.
28 “Likhumbulani kambe? Kwakulendoda eyayilamadodana amabili. Yaya kweyokuqala yathi, ‘Ndodana, lamuhla hamba uyesebenza esivinini.’
Eshi msebha yenu? Umuntu yalinawana wawele. Akhabhala hwa weka akhamozya, `Mwanawane, bhala uwombe imbombo hugonda gwi mizabibu,
29 Yaphendula yathi, ‘Kangisoze ngiye mina,’ kodwa yaphinde yazisola yahamba.
ilelo. `Umwana ahajibu na yan sangaimbala, Lakini pamande akhabadilisya isewho zyakwe akhabhala.
30 Uyise wasesiya kwenye indodana watsho okufanayo. Yaphendula yathi, ‘Ngizahamba, baba,’ kodwa kayihambanga.
Na umuntu ula akhabhala hwamana wabhile humuozye shishila. Umwana ola ahajibu na yanje aje imbala, gosi,' lakini sagawabhala.
31 Yiphi phakathi kwawo womabili eyenza lokho okwakufunwa nguyise na?” Baphendula bathi, “Ngeyakuqala.” UJesu wathi kubo, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ngithi abathelisi lezifebe bazangena embusweni kaNkulunkulu kuqala kulani.
Yunanu kati ya wana bhabhile yawhombiole shahwanza uudada wakwe? Bhakhamuzya, “Umwana uwahuande.” U Yesu akhabhawonganya ikondi na bhamalaya bhahaiinjila hwa mwene hwa Ngolobhe shamsele amwe ahwinjile.
32 Ngoba uJohane weza kini ukuzalitshengisa indlela yokulunga kodwa kalimkholwanga ikanti abathelisi lezifebe bamkholwa. Kwathi lokuba selikubonile konke lokhu kalimkholwanga.”
Huje u Yohana akhenzele hulimwe hwidala liligoloshe, lakini amwe sagamwahaposheye, eobha whunga nya ikodi na bhamalaya bhakhaposheye. Amwe, iwamwakhalola elyo liwhombeha sangamwakha lambihe aje pamande mposhele.
33 “Zwanini omunye umzekeliso: Kwakukhona umnini wesiqinti owahlanyela isivini. Wasihonqolozela ngomduli, wagebha isikhamelo sewayini phakathi, wasesakha isilindo. Waseqhatshisa isivini leso kubalimi wasuka wathatha uhambo.
Tejelezi ufyana ungwamwao. Hwakhali umuntu, umuntu yalini sehemu ingosi iyinsi. Ahatotile amizabibu akhaga wesheye imbanga ahagombile ishombo sha nkhamile idivai, ahazenga iboma lyawalizi, ahapanjizya bhabhalimilila umuzabibu. Ahasongola akhawala insi inyamwao.
34 Kuthe sekufika isikhathi sokuvuna wathuma izinceku zakhe kulabobalimi ukuyathatha izithelo.
Uwakati wavune imizabibu lwabhafiha ahabhalajizya abhawomba mbombo hwabhalima amizabibu ahweje amizabibu gankwe.
35 Abalimi bazibamba izinceku zakhe; eyinye bayitshaya, eyinye bayibulala kwathi eyesithathu bayikhanda ngamatshe.
Lakini bhabhalima amizabibu bhahawenga abhawomba mbombo wakwe, bhahakhoma weka bhabuda uwamwao bhakhoma weka na mawe.
36 Wasethuma ezinye izinceku kubo, ezinengi kulezakuqala, njalo abalimi baziphatha ngendlela efanayo.
Nantele ugosi ahatuma abhawomba mbombo abhamwao, winchi hani ashile wala abhahuande, bhabhalima amizabibu bha khawobile shishila.
37 Ekucineni wasethumela indodana yakhe kubo. Wathi, ‘Bazayihlonipha indodana yami.’
Baada yepo ugosi ula akhatuma umwana wakwe, ahaga, 'Wazahutinishe umwana wane.'
38 Kodwa kwathi abalimi beyibona indodana batshelana bathi, ‘Lo yindlalifa. Wozani simbulale sithathe ilifa lakhe.’
Lakini bhabhalima amizabibu lwabhanola usahala ula, bhakhayangana, “Onu yu mrithi, Inzaji, tibude na tenye urithi.'
39 Ngakho bamdumela bamphosela ngaphandle kwesivini bambulala.
`Basi bhahatanga hunze mugonda gwi mizabibu na hubude.
40 Ngakho-ke nxa umninisivini esesiza uzabathini abalimi labo na?”
Jee ugosi wigonda wa mizabibu lwanza ahwenze anza huwawombe wele bhabhalima imizabibu?”
41 Baphendula bathi, “Uzababonisa into yamehlo, abeseqhatshisa isivini sakhe kwabanye abalimi abazamnika ingxenye yakhe yezithelo ngesikhathi sokuvuna.”
Bhakhamuozya, “Anzahubhananganye ewho awantu abhabhibhi, hwidala ikhali hani, na anza panjizye ugonda gwi mizabibu hwa bhakulima abhamwawo wamizabibu, awantu bhabhaza sombe kwajili ya mizabibu lwagazatone.”
42 UJesu wathi kubo, “Kalibalanga yini emibhalweni ukuthi: ‘Ilitshe elalahlwa ngabakhi seliyilona ilitshe lensika; iNkosi ikwenzile lokhu, njalo kuyamangalisa emehlweni ethu?’
U Yesu akhabhawozya, “Aje sangamubhazizye amaandiko, iwe lwabha akhanile awazenje lyabha liwe ligosi lya msingi. Eli kyakhafumile hu Bwana, lishwizisya pamaso gentu?”
43 Ngakho ngiyalitshela ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu lizawuthathelwa uphiwe abantu abazathela izithelo zawo.
Eshi ihumbawhuzya, u Umwene wa Ngolobhe unzahungwe agume humwenyu, wanzapelwe bhamunsi bhabhasnga amadondu gankwe.
44 Lowo ozawela phezu kwalelilitshe uzavadlaka kodwa lowo elizawela phezu kwakhe uzafihlizwa.”
Whowhitu yazangwe humwanya yi iwe elyo anzabuduhane buduhane. Lakini whowhunti yalinzahugwele linzahusye.”
45 Kwathi abaphristi abakhulu labaFarisi besizwa imizekeliso kaJesu, bakwazi ukuthi wayekhuluma ngabo.
Abhagosi wishiwanza na Amafarisayo lwawhonvya ishifano shakwe, bhakhamanya aje ahubhayanga wewo.
46 Badinga indlela yokumbopha kodwa besaba ixuku labantu ngoba abantu bambona njengomphrofethi.
Lakini lwabhanzaga agolosye inyobhe hwa mwene, bhahogope awashibhaza, awantu bhakhamwenyizye aje mtumi.
