1 Wasebizela ndawonye abafundi bakhe abalitshumi lambili, wabanika amandla legunya phezu kwamadimoni wonke, lawokwelapha izifo.
Nabhabhilikila amwi abheigisibhwa bhaye ekumi na bhahili, nabhayana obhutulo no bhuinga ingulu ya amasambwa gona nokuosha amalwaye.
2 Wasebathuma ukuyatshumayela umbuso kaNkulunkulu, lokusilisa abagulayo,
Nabhatuma wagende okulasha obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga nokuosha abhalwaye.
3 wasesithi kubo: Lingaphathi lutho lwendlela; lodondolo, lesikhwama, lomphako, lemali, njalo lingabi lezigqoko ezimbili ngamunye.
Nabhabhwila ati, “mwasiga okugega chonachona mulugendolwemwe nolwo insimbo, nolwo omufuko, nolwo omukate, nolwo jimpilya, mwasiga nolwo okugega jinkanju ebhili.
4 Lakuyiphi indlu elingena kuyo, hlalani lapho, lalapho lisuke.
Omusi gwonagwona gunu mwakengilemo, mwikalao kukingila mwakasokeo ao.
5 Labo bonke abangalemukeliyo, nxa lisuka kulowomuzi, thintithani ngitsho uthuli enyaweni zenu kube yibufakazi obumelana labo.
Bhanu bhatalibhalamila, mkasokamo mumusi ogwo, mukunkumule oluteli okusoka kumagulu gemwe mukole kutyo ingulu yo obhubhambasi bhwemwe ingulu yebhwe.”
6 Basuka-ke bahamba bedabula imizana, betshumayela ivangeli besilisa endaweni zonke.
Nibhasokao nibhagenda okulabha mubhijiji, nibhalashaga omusango gwekisi nokuosha abhanu bhuli lubhala
7 UHerodi umtetrarki wasekuzwa konke okwenziwa nguye; wasedideka, ngoba kwatshiwo ngabanye ukuthi uJohane uvukile kwabafileyo;
Mbe omukama Herode aliga nongwa ganu galiga nigakolekana nanyasibhwa muno, kulwokubha abhandi bhaikaga ati Yoana Omubhatija asurukile okusoka mubhafuye,
8 langabanye ukuthi uElija ubonakele; langabanye ukuthi kuvukile omunye wabaprofethi abadala.
abhandi ati Elia ejile, na abhandi ati oumwi mubhalagi bha kala asurukile lindi okusoka mubhafu.
9 Kodwa uHerodi wathi: UJohane ngamquma ikhanda mina; kodwa ngubani lo, mina engizwa ngaye izinto ezinje? Wasefunisisa ukumbona.
Herode naika ati, “nachinjile Yoana, Nawe si niga unu enungwa amagambo gaye? Mbe Yoana nalondaga injila eyokumulola Yesu.
10 Abaphostoli sebebuyile bambikela konke ababekwenzile. Wasebathatha, wahamba labo bebodwa waya endaweni eyinkangala eyomuzi othiwa yiBhethisayida.
Bhejile bhasubha bhanu bhaliga bhatumilwe, nibhamubhwila bhuli chinu echo bakolele. Nabhagega bhona, nibhagenda mumusi gunu gwatogwaga Betisaida.
11 Kwathi amaxuku esekwazi, amlandela; wasewemukela, wakhuluma lawo ngombuso kaNkulunkulu, wabasilisa labo abaswele ukusiliswa.
Nawe liijo nilyungwa ati asokao nibhamulubha, nabhakumilila, na naloma nabho ingulu yo obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga, naosha bhanu bhaliga nibhakena okuosibhwa.
12 Ilanga laseliqala ukutshona; abalitshumi lambili basebesiza bathi kuye: Yekela ixuku lihambe, ukuze baye emizaneni lezigabeni ezizingelezeleyo bangenise khona, bathole ukudla; ngoba lapha sisendaweni eyinkangala.
Lisubha niliwako, na Jintumwa ekumi ne bhili nibhamujako nibhamubhwila ati, “Nyalambula liijo bhagende mubhijiji bhyayei na mumusi bhaje okufung'ama nokulonda ebhilyo, kulwokubha anu chili ni chalo cha ibala.”
13 Kodwa wathi kubo: Banikeni lina bona ukuthi badle. Bathi-ke: Asilakho okwedlula izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, ngaphandle kokuthi thina siyebathengela ukudla bonke lababantu.
Nawe nabhabhwila ati, “Mubhayane ebhilyo bhalye.” Nibhaika ati, “Chitali nabhyo tali bhilio bhibhala bhitanu ebhye mikate na nswi ebhili, nawe chakajiye okugula ebhilyo bhyaliijo lya abhanu bhanu.”
14 Ngoba kwakukhona amadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu. Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Bahlaliseni phansi ngezigaba ngamatshumi amahlanu.
Mbe bhaliga bhalio ao abhalume bhiumbi bhitanu. Nabhwila abheigisibhwa bhaye, “mubheyanje ansi mkole jingobho ja bhanu makumi gatanu tanu.”
15 Basebesenza njalo, babahlalisa phansi bonke.
Kulwejo nibhakola kutyo, abhanu nibheyanja ansi.
16 Wasezithatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, wakhangela phezulu ezulwini, wazibusisa, wazihlephula, wazinika abafundi ukuthi babeke phambi kwexuku.
Mbe nagega emikate etanu na jinswi ebhili nalola ingulu, nasima, najibhutulanya bhibhala, nabhayana abheigisibhwa bhaye koleleki bhaligabhile liijo.
17 Basebesidla basutha bonke; kwadojwa imvuthu ezazisele kubo, izitsha ezilitshumi lambili.
Nibhalya bhona nibheguta, nibhakofya ebhibhala bhyo obhusigala nibhejusha ebhibho ekumi na bhibhili.
18 Kwasekusithi ekhuleka yedwa, abafundi babelaye; wasebabuza, esithi: Amaxuku athi ngingubani?
Mbe nijibha kutiya, Yesu aliga nasabha ebhisile ali na abheigisibhwa bhaye, nabhabhusha naika ati, “abhanu abhaika ati anye nanyega?”
19 Basebephendula bathi: UJohane uMbhabhathizi; kodwa abanye bathi: UElija; kodwa abanye bathi: Kuvukile umprofethi othile wabadala.
Nibhasubhya, nibhaika ati, “Yoana Omubhatija, Nawe abhandi abhaika ni Eliya, abhandi abhaika ni umwi was abhalagi we emyaka ja kala amasubha okusuruka.”
20 Wasesithi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani? UPetro wasephendula wathi: UKristu kaNkulunkulu.
Nabhabhwila ati, “Nawe emwe omwaika ati nanye uya?” Petro nasubhya naika ati,
21 Esebaxwayisisile walaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu lokhu,
“Nawe Kristo okusoka ku Nyamuanga.” Nawe Yesu nabhaonya, nabhelesha ati bhasiga kubhwila munu wonawona ingulu yo omusango ogwo.
22 esithi: INdodana yomuntu imele ihlupheke kakhulu, ilahlwe ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali, ibulawe, ibisivuswa ngosuku lwesithathu.
Naika kutya, “Omwana wa Adamu ni bhusibhusi anyale na amagambo mafu nokubhulwa okwendwa na bhakaruka na abhagabhisi abhakulu na abhandiki, na abhamwita, na kasuruka olunaku lwa akasatu”
23 Wasesithi kubo bonke: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe insuku ngensuku, angilandele.
Nabhabhwila ati, “Omunu wonawona akenda okundubha, ni bhusibhusi eleme omwene, ayeke omusalabha gwaye bhuli siku, andubhe.
24 Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe, izamlahlekela; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami, yena uzayisindisa.
Wonawona unu kalegeja okuchungula obhulame bhwaye alibhubhusha, Nawe unu kabhusha obhulame kulwa injuno ya libhona lyani, alibhuchungula.
25 Ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu, uba ezuza umhlaba wonke, kodwa yena uqobo lwakhe azone kumbe alahleke?
Omwana munu alibhona chinuki, alibha akabhona echalo chona, Nawe akabhusha amo akabhona i-asara yo mwoyo gwaye?
26 Ngoba loba ngubani olenhloni ngami langamazwi ami, iNdodana yomuntu izakuba lenhloni ngaye, nxa isiza enkazimulweni yayo lekaBaba leyengilosi ezingcwele.
Wonawona unu alinyiswalilila any ne emisango jani, Omwana was Adamu ao alibha mwikusho lyaye alimwiswalilila omunuyo na likusho lya Lata na bhamalaika abhatakatifu(abhelu).
27 Kodwa ngilitshela ngeqiniso: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufa, baze babone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Nawe enibhabhwila echimali, bhalio abhandi bhemeleguyu anu bhataliloja lufu okukinga bhabhulole obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.”
28 Kwasekusithi emva kwalawomazwi, kungaba zinsuku eziyisificaminwembili, wathatha uPetro loJohane loJakobe, wakhwela entabeni ukuyakhuleka.
Jejile jalabhao nsiku munana amalile okwaika emisango ejo, nagega Petro, Yoana na Yakobo. Nibhalinya muchima okusabhwa.
29 Kwasekusithi ekukhulekeni kwakhe, isimo sobuso bakhe saphenduka, lesembatho sakhe saba mhlophe, sacwazimula.
Nao aliga achali mwisabhwa, olususo lwo ubhusu bhwaye niluinduka, na jingubho jaye nijibha jimwela no okubhalangilya.
30 Njalo khangela, akhuluma laye amadoda amabili, ayengoMozisi loElija;
Lola, bhaliga bhalio bhalume bhabhili nibhalomaga nage! Aliga ali Musa na Eliya,
31 abonakala ngenkazimulo akhuluma ngokusuka kwakhe ayezakuphelelisa eJerusalema.
bhabhonekene bhali mwikusho. Ni bhalomelela ingulu yo okusokao kwaye, omusango gunu aliga alebhelee okukumisha ali Yerusalemu.
32 Kodwa uPetro lababelaye babesindwe yibuthongo; kodwa sebephapheme babona inkazimulo yakhe, lamadoda amabili ayemi laye.
Petro na abhejabho bhaliga bhaongee muno. Nawe bhejile bhasisimuka, nibhalola likusho laye na bhalume bhabhili bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu nage.
33 Kwasekusithi, ekwehlukaneni kwawo laye, uPetro wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, kuhle ukuthi sibe lapha; futhi asakhe amadumba amathathu, elinye ngelakho, lelinye ngelikaMozisi, lelinye ngelikaElija; engakwazi akutshoyo.
Bhejile bhasigana na Yesu, Petro namubhwila ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, jakabhee jakisi eswe chikale anu na jichiile chumbake anu jinyumba ja bhanu bhasatu. Chumbake eyao imwi, eindi ili ya Musa, na eindi ili ya Eliya.” Nawe aikaga emisango ejo ohhutamenya.
34 Kwathi ekhuluma lezizinto, kwafika iyezi labasibekela; basebesesaba ekungeneni kwabo eyezini.
Ao aliga achaika kutyo, nilija elile nilibhafundikila; nibhobhaya kulwokubha bhaliga bhajongewe ne elile.
35 Kwasekuphuma ilizwi eyezini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; zwanini yona.
Obhulaka nibhusoka mulile nibhwaika ati, “Unu niwe Omwana wani Omusolwa. Mbe nimumutegeleshe.
36 Kwathi ilizwi selifikile, uJesu waficwa eyedwa. Kodwa bona bathula, kabaze batshela muntu ngalezonsuku okunye kwalezozinto abazibonileyo.
“Obhulaka bhwejile bhwajibhila, Yesu nasigala enyele. Nibhajibhila, na munsiku ejo bhatabhwiliye munu wonawona kumisango jonajona jinu bhalolele.
37 Kwasekusithi ngelanga elilandelayo, sebehlile entabeni, ixuku elikhulu lamhlangabeza.
Bwire bhucheye, bhejile bhasoka muchima, liijo lya abhanu nilibhugangana nage.
38 Njalo khangela, indoda exukwini yamemeza, isithi: Mfundisi, ngiyakuncenga, bona indodana yami, ngoba yiyo yodwa ezelweyo yami;
Lola, omumula umwi okusoka mwiijo nalila kwo bhulaka, naika ati, “Mwiigisha enikusabhwa undolele omwana wani kubha niwe nilinagela enyele.
39 njalo khangela, umoya uyayibamba, futhi ihle iklabalale, njalo uyihlukuze, ikhihlize amagwebu, uphume nzima kuyo, uyihluzule.
Mbe oulola kagwatibhwa amasambwa, nayogana, lugendo agamuyana okugwa lilaru nokusoka lifilo mukanwa. Agamutatila kwa inyako, nigamusigila obhwashe bhusito.
40 Njalo ngincenge abafundi bakho ukuthi bawukhuphe, kodwa abenelisanga.
Nilabhasabhileko abheigisibhwa bhao bhagagonye Nawe bhatatulile.”
41 UJesu wasephendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo lesonakeleyo, kuzaze kube nini ngilani, ngilibekezelela? Ilethe lapha indodana yakho.
Yesu nasubhya naika ati, “Emwe olwibhulo lunu lutakwikilisha na lunu lutasikene ne echimali, enikala nemwe nokubhagegela ganu agabhatama okukingila katunguki? Nufogeshe omwana wao anu.”
42 Kuthe iseza, idimoni layidabula layihlukuza; kodwa uJesu wawukhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wamsilisa umntwana, wambuyisela kuyise.
Nolwo akatungu kanu omusigaji oyo aliga naja lisambwa nilimugwisha ansi kwo okumunyongotola. Nawe Yesu naligonya lisambwa elyo, namwiulisha namusubhisha esemwene
43 Bonke basebemangaliswa kakhulu yibukhulu bukaNkulunkulu. Kwathi bemangele bonke ngazo zonke izinto uJesu azenzileyo, wathi kubafundi bakhe:
Abhanu bhona nibhalugula obhukulu bhwaye Nyamuanga. Nawe ao bhaliga bhachalugula gona ago Yesu akolele, nabhwila abheigisibhwa bhaye ati,
44 Fakani lina endlebeni zenu lamazwi: Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa ezandleni zabantu.
“Mutule mukutwi emisango jinu enenda obhabhwila olyanu: Omwana wo Omunu kaja okutulwa mumabhoko ga abhanu.”
45 Kodwa kabaqedisisanga lumutsho, njalo wawufihlakele kubo, ukuze bangawuzwisisi; basebesesaba ukumbuza ngalumutsho.
Nawe bhatasombokewe insonga ye misango ejo, gaselekelwe mumeso gebhwe, koleleki bhasiga okugasombokelwa.
46 Kwasekungena ukuphikisana phakathi kwabo, ukuthi ngubani ongaba mkhulu kubo.
Mbe okubhula okungwana nikwibhuka agati yebhwe ingulu yobhukulu, ati niga unu kajokubha mukulu okukila bhona.
47 Kwathi uJesu ebona ukunakana kwenhliziyo yabo, wathatha umntwana omncane, wammisa phansi kwakhe,
Nawe Yesu ejile amenya chinu bhaliga nibhabhushanya, nagega Omwana mulela, namwimelegushu mulubhafu lwaye.
48 wasesithi kubo: Loba ngubani owemukela lumntwana omncane ebizweni lami wemukela mina; njalo loba ngubani owemukela mina wemukela ongithumileyo; ngoba omncinyane kini lonke nguye ozakuba mkhulu.
Mbe nio nabhabhwila ati, “Wonawona unu kakumilila omwana omulela lwa unu kwisina lyani, kabha andamiye anye ona; na unu kankumilila any kabha akumiliye unu antumile anye. Kulwokubha unu ali mtoto agati yemwe bhona oyo niwe omukulu kukila bhona.”
49 UJohane wasephendula wathi: Nkosi, sabona omunye ekhupha amadimoni ngebizo lakho, sasesimenqabela, ngoba engalandeli kanye lathi.
Yoana nasubhya naika ati, “Mukama, chalolele omunu nagonya amasambwa mwisina lyao nichimujibhila kulwokubha atakulibhata amwi neswe.”
50 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Lingamenqabeli, ngoba ongamelani lathi ungakithi.
Nawe Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Musige okumujibhila, kulwokubha unu atatasikene nemwe niwejanyu.”
51 Kwathi seziphelelisiwe insuku zokwenyuka kwakhe, yena wasekhangelisa ubuso bakhe ukuya eJerusalema,
Jinsiku jejile jafogela ayei ejo omwene okugegwa okuja mulwire, nalolelela okuja Yerusalemu.
52 wasethuma izithunywa phambi kobuso bakhe; zasezihamba zangena emzaneni wamaSamariya, ukuze zimlungisele.
Natuma abhanu bhelabhe imbele yaye, mbe nibhagenda nibhengila muchijiji cha Abhasamaria koleleki bhamwilabhile obhwiyanjo.
53 Kodwa kawamemukelanga, ngoba ubuso bakhe babukhangele eJerusalema.
Nawe abhanu bhendeyo bhatamulamiye, kulwokubha aliga nalolelela okuja Yerusalemu.
54 Kwathi abafundi bakhe uJakobe loJohane bebona lokhu bathi: Nkosi, uyathanda yini ukuthi sitsho ukuthi umlilo wehle uvela ezulwini, ubaqothule, njengoba loElija wenza?
Abheigisibhwa bhaye, Yakobo na Yoana bhejile bhalola elyokutyo, nibhaika ati, “Lata Bugenyi owenda chilagilishe omulilo gutuke ansi okusoka mulwire gubhasingalishe?”
55 Kodwa watshibilika wabakhuza, esithi: Alazi ukuthi lina lingabomoya onjani.
Nawe nabhekebhukila nokubhaganya.
56 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu kayizanga ukuthi ibhubhise imiphefumulo yabantu, kodwa ukuyisindisa. Basebesedlulela komunye umzana.
Nibhamala nibhagenda muchijiji echindi.
57 Kwasekusithi behamba endleleni, umuntu othile wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngizakulandela loba ngaphi lapho oya khona.
Ao bhaliga bhali munjila yebhwe nibhagenda, omunu umwi namubhwila ati, “Enikulubhilila onaona eyo ouja.”
58 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Amakhanka alemilindi, lenyoni zezulu zilezidleke; kodwa iNdodana yomuntu kayilalapho engaqamelisa ikhanda khona.
Yesu namubhwila ati, “jinyamubhwe jina amobho, jinyonyi ja mulutumba jina amasuli, nawe Omwana wa Adamu atana wa wakumamya omutwe gwaye.”
59 Wasesithi komunye: Ngilandela. Kodwa yena wathi: Nkosi, ngivumela ukuthi ngiyengcwaba ubaba kuqala.
Achalao nabhwila omunu undi ati, “Niundubhe.” Nawe omwenene naika ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, nunane omwanya okwamba nigende nijosika lata.”
60 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Yekela abafileyo bangcwabe ababo abafileyo; kodwa wena hamba utshumayele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Nawe Yesu namubhwila ati, “Nusige abhafuye bhasike abhafu bhabho, nawe awe nugende ulashe obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli mbala.”
61 Lomunye wasesithi: Ngizakulandela, Nkosi; kodwa ngivumela kuqala ukuthi ngiyevalelisa abasendlini yami.
Omunu undi ona naika ati, “Enikulubhilila, Mukama, nawe nana omwanya okwamba nilage abha ika owani.”
62 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Kakho othi esebeke isandla sakhe ekhubeni, akhangele kokusemuva, ofanele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Nawe Yesu namubhwila ati, “atalio unu katao okubhoko kwaye alime namala nalola inyuma oyo ateile mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.”
