1 UJesu wakhuluma kubo njalo ngemizekeliso wathi:
U Yesu autambue neenso mulengasiilyo nukulunga.
2 “Umbuso wezulu unjengenkosi eyalungisela indodana yayo idili lomthimba.
'''Utemi wa kilunde wumpyani numutemi naoneneeye wiloelinua winga wang'waakwe.
3 Yathuma izinceku zayo kulabo ababenxusiwe edilini ukuba beze kodwa bala ukuza.
Wikaatuma eitumi akwe husila awa neaalehikweize muwiloeli nua winga, huite sengaikapika.
4 Yaphinda yathuma ezinye izinceku yathi, ‘Batsheleni labo abanxusiweyo ukuthi sengililungisile idili. Ngihlabe inkabi lenkomo ezinonisiweyo, konke sekulungile. Wozani edilini lomthimba.’
Umutemi wikaatuma hange eitumi angizawikalunga. ''Aeli ehe neanilwe, Gozi, nanonelyaindya. Nakwa neamudama neaginu asinzwaa, ne makani ehi ahondilile, Nzii hiloelye muwinga''.
5 Kodwa kabakunanzanga lokho, bazihambela, omunye waya ensimini yakhe, omunye emsebenzini wakhe.
Kuite iantu awa singaai akee lukulu uamwi wakwe. Neang'wi ikalongola kumigunda ao, nawa niangiza ikalongola mumaanza ao nabiashala.
6 Abanye bazibamba izinceku zayo, bazihlukuluza bazibulala.
Niangiza ikaaja eitumi amukulu nukuabulaga.
7 Inkosi yathukuthela. Yathumela impi yayo yababhuqa labobabulali yatshisa idolobho labo.
Kuite umutemi wikataka. Wikatuma ikua mbiteakwe akabulangwa eabulagi nukulimansiilya ikisalekao kumoto.
8 Yasisithi ezincekwini zayo, ‘Idili lomthimba selilungile kodwa labo engibanxusileyo bebengasafanele ukuza.
Hange wikaaila eitumi akwe, ''Uwinga ukondile, kuite ianwi shangaaza.
9 Hambani liye emahlanganweni ezindlela linxuse loba ngubani elimbonayo.’
Kuitelongoli muninsambwa nzile nemehulu, muane iantu needu anga uu neukuhuma aze muwiloeli nua winga.''
10 Ngakho izinceku zangena ezitaladini zabutha bonke abantu ezababonayo, abalungileyo lababi, indlu yomthimba yagcwala izethekeli.
Eitumi akena munzila ninkulu nukuakalibisha iantu ehi nae aine, aza kuabi, Uu itando nila winga ieizula iageni.
11 Kodwa kwathi inkosi ingena ukuzabona izethekeli, yananzelela khonapho indoda eyeyingavunulanga izigqoko zomthimba.
Kuite umutemi nae wingie nukuagoza iaiziila, wikamuona muntu ung'wi akeze mugila ung'wenda nua winga.
12 Yabuza yathi, ‘Mngane, ungene njani lapha ungelazigqoko zomthimba?’ Indoda yatsha amathe.
Umutemi akamukolya, Muhumba miane, azaupikile ule apakunu umugila ung'we nua winga? Numuntu nuanso shanga wikasushaketi.
13 Inkosi yasitshela izinceku zayo yathi, ‘Mbopheni izandla lezinyawo limphosele ngaphandle ebumnyameni, lapho okuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla kwamazinyo.’
Uu gwa umutemi akaaila eitumi akwe, Mutungi umuintu uyu imekono nemegulu mugumi kunzi kuhiti, kung'wanso nuuhole uleli nukusia muno.
14 Ngoba banengi ababiziweyo kodwa balutshwana abakhethiweyo.”
Kunsoko antu edu itangilwe, kuite awa niasaguwe ashenyu.
15 Lapho-ke abaFarisi basuka baphuma bayaceba ukuthi bambambe ngamazwi akhe.
Uu iatalisayu ikahega nukuzipeilya amurambe uyehu munkani yakwe ung'wenso.
16 Bathuma abafundi babo kuye behamba lamaHerodiya. Bathi, “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi uyindoda eqotho lokuthi ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngokweqiniso. Kawusuye uthathekile ngoba kawulani lokuthi bangobani.
Uuikaatuma iamanyisigwa ao palung'wi Helode Hange ikamuila uYesu, ''Mumanyisi, kulengile kenauewe wimuntu watai, hange kena ukumanyisa ita ang'wi Tunda etai shanga ukee mkani ningiza hange umugila anga ukweli nua antu.
17 Sitshele-ke, uthini ngalokhu? Kusemthethweni na ukuthela kuKhesari kumbe hatshi?”
Kuite kuile, usegile ntuni? Itee? taine kilago kapunya ehodi nshenyu ang'wi alii?
18 UJesu ngokwazi inhloso yabo embi wathi, “Lina bazenzisi, lenzani lizama ukungithiya na?
U Yesu aulengile uubi wao wikalunga, Kuneki nemungema unye nemiamasue?
19 Ake lingitshengise uhlamvu lwemali okuthelwa ngayo.” Bamlethela idenari,
Ndangiili empia netumeka mukodi.''Uu ikamutetela edinali.
20 wasebabuza wathi, “Ngumfanekiso kabani lo? Njalo luphawu lukabani lolu?”
U Yesu akakolya ''Ikelu ne lina ele lang'wi nyanyu?
21 Baphendula bathi, “NgokukaKhesari.” Wasesithi kubo, “Phanini uKhesari okungokukaKhesari loNkulunkulu okungokukaNkulunkulu.”
Ikasusha,''Yang'wa kaisari.'' Uu Yesu akabila,''Mupiukaisari nakwe nang'wi Tunda mupi Itunda.''
22 Bathi besizwa lokhu bamangala. Ngakho basuka kuye bahamba.
Naeigule ile ikakuilwa. Hange ikamuleka nukulongola yao.
23 Ngalelolanga abaSadusi, abathi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, beza kuye belombuzo.
Iluhiku nulanso ang'wi ao amasadukayo akiza kung'wa Yesu, awa neelunga kutile anga uiukiwaashi. Ekamukulya,
24 Bathi, “Mfundisi, uMosi wasitshela wathi, nxa indoda ingafa ingazalanga mntwana, umfowabo kamthathe umfelokazi amzalele abantwana.
akalunga,''Mumanyisi, Umusa aulugile, Angeze umuntu ukule singa utugile ung'wana, umuluna ukumusala umusungu nuanso nukumuligelya ung'wana nsoko amuluna wakwe.
25 Kwakulabafowabo abayisikhombisa phakathi kwethu. Wathatha owakuqala wasesifa, kwathi ngoba engazuzanga mntwana watshiyela umkakhe umfowabo.
Aeahote atuna mupungate. Nua ng'wandyo autenile wikasha shuutungile ung'wana. Aka mutekela umulune umusungu.
26 Kwaphinda lokho kowesibili lowesithathu njalo kwaze kwaba ngowesikhombisa.
Hange umulune wakwe wikalenda uu, hange nuyu nuaka taatu, yekatenda uu sunga yuyu nua mupungate.
27 Ekucineni wafa lowomfazi.
Nae ituma ite ehi, numusungu nuanso wikasha.
28 Pho-ke, ekuvukeni kwabafileyo uzakuba ngumkabani phakathi kwabayisikhombisa njengoba bonke babemthethe?”
Inge muuiuki umusungu nuanso ukutula wang'wanyenyu mualuna neanso nemupungate? kunsoko ehi ae amutenile.''
29 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Liyalahleka ngoba kaliyazi imibhalo lamandla kaNkulunkulu.
Kuite u Yesu ausuhilye nukulunga, Mukakoseela, Kunsoko shamumanyile Imaandeko sunga ningulu niang'wi Tunda.
30 Ekuvukeni kwabafileyo abantu kabayikuthatha loba bendiswe; bazakuba njengezingilosi ezulwini.
Kunsoko muuniuhi, iantu shaitena ang'wi hulenwa, kuleka ite iantu etula anga iamakika hilunde.
31 Kodwa mayelana lokuvuka kwabafileyo, kalibalanga yini lokho uNkulunkulu akutsho kini ukuthi,
Kuite uiuki waashi mukele musomene niTunda auketambue kitalanyu, nukulunga.
32 ‘NginguNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka loNkulunkulu kaJakhobe’? KasuNkulunkulu wabafileyo kodwa owabaphilayo.”
Unene ni Tunda nuang'wa Iblahimu, Itunda wang'wa Isaki, ni Tunda nuang'waYakobo? Itunda singa Itundawaashi, inge Itunda nua panga.''
33 Kwathi amaxuku abantu esizwa lokhu amangaliswa yikufundisa kwakhe.
Imatungo umulundo nuahija ile, ikakuilwa umanyisi wakwe.
34 AbaFarisi sebezwile ukuthi uJesu wayesebathulisile abaSadusi, bahlangana ndawonye.
Kuite emafalisayo niakija kena Uyesu wakilaja ea masadukayo, ekiiligeila ienso palug'wi.
35 Omunye wabo owayeyisazi somthetho wamlinga ngombuzo wathi,
Ung'wiao, akeze munyilago, wika mukolya ikolyokumugema.
36 “Mfundisi, yiwuphi umlayo omkhulu kulayo yonke eMthethweni?”
Mumanyisi, ilago neleuke ni kulu kukele imalago ehi.
37 UJesu waphendula wathi, “‘Thanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langomphefumulo wakho wonke langengqondo yakho yonke.’
U Yesu akasusha,''kusinja umulowe umukulu kunholo ako ehi, nemahala ako ehi.
38 Yiwo owokuqala njalo odlula yonke imilayo.
Ili lilo ilagilyo ikulu hangi nilang'wandyo.
39 Owesibili unjengawo: ‘Thanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena.’
Hange na akabiili impyani ni yiyo. Kusinja kumulowa u munya kisali anga nuiloilwe u ewe.
40 Wonke uMthetho labaPhrofethi kweyeme kuyonale imilayo emibili.”
Imalago ehi neanya kidagu imeiwe nemalago yaya nabiili.
41 Kwathi abaFarisi behlangene ndawonye uJesu wababuza wathi,
Ne mafalisayo naekili ilingile paluug'wi, U Yesu akaakulya ikolyo.
42 “Licabangani ngoKhristu? Uyindodana kabani?” Baphendula bathi, “Yindodana kaDavida.”
Akalunga,''Itee? Musegile ntuni kung'wa Kristo? Nuanso ng'wa nyenyu? Neenso ekasusha,'' Ng'wana wang'wa Daudi.
43 Wathi kubo, “Kungani pho uDavida wathi ekhuluma ngoMoya umbiza athi ‘Nkosi’? Ngoba uthi,
U Yesu wikaasukeelya.''Kuuhuni kea udaudi ike ni nkolo ukumitanga mukulu, nukulunga.
44 ‘INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: “Hlala ngakwesokunene sami ngize ngibeke izitha zakho ngaphansi kwenyawo zakho.”’
Mukulu auumuie Umukulu wane,'' Ikieumohono wanenuakegohe, sunga nekuatenda ialugu aho aikwepihe amegulu aho?''
45 Pho, nxa uDavida esithi kuye, ‘Nkosi,’ angaba yindodana yakhe njani?”
Ang'wi Udaudi ukumitanga ukristo,''Mukulu''Ukutulang'waakwe ule?
46 Kakho loyedwa owaba lelizwi lokumphendula. Kwathi-ke kusukela ngalolosuku kakho owaqunga isibindi sokumbuza eminye imibuzo.
Kutile nae usuhilye ulukani hanga, hange hutile naugemile kumukolya imakolyo nendu kupuma uluhiku lulo nukulongoleka.
