< UMakho 11 >

1 Kwathi besondela eJerusalema, eBetfage leBethani, entabeni yeMihlwathi, wathuma ababili kubafundi bakhe,
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 wathi kubo: Hambani liye emzaneni okhangelene lani; lizahle lithi lingena kuwo lifice ithole likababhemi likhulekiwe, okungazange kuhlale kulo umuntu; lilikhulule lililethe.
And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 Njalo uba umuntu esithi kini: Likwenzelani lokhu? Lithi: INkosi iyaliswela; njalo uzahle alithumele lapha.
And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Rabbi hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4 Bahamba-ke bafica ithole likhulekiwe lisesangweni ngaphandle, endleleni; basebelikhulula.
And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 Labanye kwababemi khona bathi kubo: Lenzani likhulula ithole?
And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 Basebesitsho kubo njengoba uJesu elayile; basebebayekela bahamba.
And they said unto them even as Yahushua had commanded: and they let them go.
7 Basebeliletha ithole kuJesu, baphosela izembatho zabo phezu kwalo, wasehlala phezu kwalo.
And they brought the colt to Yahushua, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8 Labanengi bendlala izembatho zabo endleleni; labanye bagamula izingatsha lamahlamvu ezihlahleni, bakwendlala endleleni.
And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 Lalabo ababehamba phambili lababelandela bamemeza, besithi: Hosana! Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi;
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of YHWH:
10 ubusisiwe umbuso kababa wethu uDavida, ozayo ebizweni leNkosi. Hosana kweliphezulu!
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of YHWH: Hosanna in the highest.
11 UJesu wasengena eJerusalema, lethempelini; wathi esekhangele izinto zonke jikelele, sekuhlwile, waphuma waya eBethani labalitshumi lambili.
And Yahushua entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 Lakusisa bephuma eBethani, walamba.
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 Ebona umkhiwa ukhatshana, ulamahlamvu, wasondela ukuthi mhlawumbe angathola ulutho kuwo; njalo efika kuwo, katholanga lutho ngaphandle kwamahlamvu; ngoba kwakungesiso isikhathi somkhiwa.
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 UJesu ekhuluma wathi kuwo: Kakungabi kusadla muntu isithelo kuwe kuze kube nininini. Labafundi bakhe bakuzwa. (aiōn g165)
And Yahushua answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 Basebefika eJerusalema; uJesu wasengena ethempelini waqala ukuxotsha labo ababethengisa lababethenga ethempelini; wasegenqula amatafula ababentshintshelana imali, lezihlalo zalabo ababethengisa amajuba;
And they come to Jerusalem: and Yahushua went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 wayengavumeli ukuthi umuntu athwale impahla adabule ethempelini.
And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 Wasefundisa, wathi kubo: Kakulotshiwe yini ukuthi: Indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yomkhuleko yezizwe zonke? Kodwa lina seliyenze ubhalu lwabaphangi.
And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 Ababhali labapristi abakhulu basebekuzwa, badinga ukuthi bangambulala njani; ngoba babemesaba, ngoba lonke ixuku lamangala kakhulu ngokufundisa kwakhe.
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19 Sekusihlwa, waphuma phandle komuzi.
And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 Ekuseni kakhulu besedlula, babona umkhiwa womile kusukela empandeni.
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 UPetro wasekhumbula wathi kuye: Rabi, khangela, umkhiwa owuqalekisileyo womile.
And Kepha calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Banini lokholo kuNkulunkulu.
And Yahushua answering saith unto them, Have faith in YHWH.
23 Ngoba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngubani ozakuthi kulintaba: Phakanyiswa, uphoselwe olwandle; njalo engathandabuzi enhliziyweni yakhe, kodwa ekholwa ukuthi akutshoyo kuyenzeka, kuzakuba kuye loba yikuphi akutshoyo.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Ngakho ngithi kini: Konke loba yikuphi elikucelayo likhuleka, kholwani ukuthi liyakwemukela, njalo lizakuba lakho.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 Njalo nxa limi likhuleka, thethelelani uba lilolutho olumelana lomuntu; ukuze uYihlo osemazulwini laye alithethelele iziphambeko zenu.
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 Kodwa uba lina lingathetheleli, loYihlo osemazulwini kayikulithethelela iziphambeko zenu.
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27 Basebebuya bafika eJerusalema; kwathi ehambahamba ethempelini, abapristi abakhulu lababhali labadala beza kuye,
And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 bathi kuye: Izinto lezi uzenza ngaliphi igunya; njalo ngubani okunike leligunya lokuthi wenze lezizinto?
And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Lami ngizalibuza umbuzo ube munye, njalo lingiphendule, khona ngizalitshela ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya.
And Yahushua answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Ubhabhathizo lukaJohane lwavela ezulwini, kumbe ebantwini? Ngiphendulani.
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 Basebekhulumisana, besithi: Uba sisithi: Ezulwini, uzakuthi: Pho kalikholwanga kuye ngani?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 Kodwa uba sisithi: Ebantwini; besaba abantu; ngoba bonke babemphatha uJohane, ngokuthi ungumprofethi ngeqiniso.
But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 Basebephendula bathi kuJesu: Kasazi. UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Lami kangilitsheli ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya.
And they answered and said unto Yahushua, We cannot tell. And Yahushua answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
