UMakho 11
1 Kwathi besondela eJerusalema, eBetfage leBethani, entabeni yeMihlwathi, wathuma ababili kubafundi bakhe,
And as they approached Jerusalem, near by Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent 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 said to them: Go ye to the village that is over against us, and as soon as ye enter it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no person hath ridden: loose him, and bring him hither.
3 Njalo uba umuntu esithi kini: Likwenzelani lokhu? Lithi: INkosi iyaliswela; njalo uzahle alithumele lapha.
And, if any one say to you, Why do ye this? Say ye to him: Because our Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will send him hither.
4 Bahamba-ke bafica ithole likhulekiwe lisesangweni ngaphandle, endleleni; basebelikhulula.
And they went, and they found the colt tied, by the door, without in the street. And as they were loosing him,
5 Labanye kwababemi khona bathi kubo: Lenzani likhulula ithole?
some of those standing there, said to them: What do ye, untying the colt?
6 Basebesitsho kubo njengoba uJesu elayile; basebebayekela bahamba.
And they said to them, as Jesus had commanded them; and they permitted them.
7 Basebeliletha ithole kuJesu, baphosela izembatho zabo phezu kwalo, wasehlala phezu kwalo.
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments upon him, and set Jesus 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 branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way.
9 Lalabo ababehamba phambili lababelandela bamemeza, besithi: Hosana! Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi;
And those preceding him, and those following him shouted and said: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
10 ubusisiwe umbuso kababa wethu uDavida, ozayo ebizweni leNkosi. Hosana kweliphezulu!
And blessed is the advancing kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest heavens.
11 UJesu wasengena eJerusalema, lethempelini; wathi esekhangele izinto zonke jikelele, sekuhlwile, waphuma waya eBethani labalitshumi lambili.
And Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple, and surveyed every thing. And when evening arrived, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Lakusisa bephuma eBethani, walamba.
And the following day, as he left 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 he saw a fig-tree at a distance, on which were leaves, and he came to it, if he could find somewhat on it. And when he had come, he found on it only leaves; for the time of figs had not arrived.
14 UJesu ekhuluma wathi kuwo: Kakungabi kusadla muntu isithelo kuwe kuze kube nininini. Labafundi bakhe bakuzwa. (aiōn g165)
And he said to it: Henceforth and for ever, let no man eat fruit from thee: and the disciples heard it. And they came to Jerusalem. (aiōn g165)
15 Basebefika eJerusalema; uJesu wasengena ethempelini waqala ukuxotsha labo ababethengisa lababethenga ethempelini; wasegenqula amatafula ababentshintshelana imali, lezihlalo zalabo ababethengisa amajuba;
And Jesus entered the temple of God: and he began to cast out those who bought and sold in the temple; and he overturned the counters of the money-brokers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
16 wayengavumeli ukuthi umuntu athwale impahla adabule ethempelini.
And he suffered no one to carry goods 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 them, and said: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations? But ye have made it a den of robbers.
18 Ababhali labapristi abakhulu basebekuzwa, badinga ukuthi bangambulala njani; ngoba babemesaba, ngoba lonke ixuku lamangala kakhulu ngokufundisa kwakhe.
And the chief priests and the Scribes heard him, and they sought how they might destroy him; for they were afraid of him, because all the people admired his doctrine.
19 Sekusihlwa, waphuma phandle komuzi.
And when it was evening, they went out from 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, as it were, from its root.
21 UPetro wasekhumbula wathi kuye: Rabi, khangela, umkhiwa owuqalekisileyo womile.
And Simon remembered, and said to him: Rabbi; behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst, is dried up.
22 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Banini lokholo kuNkulunkulu.
And Jesus replied, and said to them: Have faith in God.
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.
Verily I say to you, That whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and fall into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he said will occur, to him will be the thing he spoke.
24 Ngakho ngithi kini: Konke loba yikuphi elikucelayo likhuleka, kholwani ukuthi liyakwemukela, njalo lizakuba lakho.
Therefore I say to you, That whatsoever ye shall pray and ask for, believe that it will be, and it will be to you.
25 Njalo nxa limi likhuleka, thethelelani uba lilolutho olumelana lomuntu; ukuze uYihlo osemazulwini laye alithethelele iziphambeko zenu.
And when ye stand up to pray, forgive what ye have against any one; that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive your offences.
26 Kodwa uba lina lingathetheleli, loYihlo osemazulwini kayikulithethelela iziphambeko zenu.
For if ye forgive not, your Father also who is in heaven will not forgive you your offences.
27 Basebebuya bafika eJerusalema; kwathi ehambahamba ethempelini, abapristi abakhulu lababhali labadala beza kuye,
And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and Scribes and Elders came to him,
28 bathi kuye: Izinto lezi uzenza ngaliphi igunya; njalo ngubani okunike leligunya lokuthi wenze lezizinto?
and said to him: By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee the 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 Jesus said to them: I also will ask you one thing, that ye may tell 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, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? Tell me.
31 Basebekhulumisana, besithi: Uba sisithi: Ezulwini, uzakuthi: Pho kalikholwanga kuye ngani?
And they reasoned with themselves, and said: If we should say to him, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 Kodwa uba sisithi: Ebantwini; besaba abantu; ngoba bonke babemphatha uJohane, ngokuthi ungumprofethi ngeqiniso.
But if we should say, From men; there is fear from the people; for they have all held John to be truly a prophet.
33 Basebephendula bathi kuJesu: Kasazi. UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Lami kangilitsheli ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya.
And they answered, and said to Jesus: We do not know. He said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
