UMakho 4
1 Wasebuya waqala ukufundisa ngaselwandle; kwasekubuthana kuye ixuku elikhulu, waze wangena emkhunjini wahlala olwandle; njalo ixuku lonke lalisemhlabathini ngaselwandle.
Hangi ai wandilye kumanyisa mu mpelompelo a luzi. Ni iumbi ikulu likilundiila likamupilimikiilya, akingila mukati i ilinga mu luzi, nu kikie. Iumbi lihi nai likoli mu mpelo a luzi mu nshemba.
2 Wasebafundisa izinto ezinengi ngemifanekiso, lekufundiseni kwakhe wathi kubo:
Hangi aka amanyisa makani idu ku mpyani, hangi akaligitya kitalao ku umanyisa nuakwe.
3 Lalelani; khangelani, kwaphuma umhlanyeli ukuyahlanyela.
Tegeelyi, mutemeli ai ulongoe kutemela.
4 Kwasekusithi ekuhlanyeleni, enye yawela eceleni kwendlela, kwasekufika inyoni zezulu zayidla zayiqeda.
Nai wakatula ukutemela, ing'wi nia mbeu ai igwie mu nzila, ni nyunyi ikapembya ikailya.
5 Njalo enye yawela emhlabathini olamatshe, lapho eyayingelamhlabathi omnengi khona; futhi yahle yamila, ngoba yayingelakutshona komhlabathi;
Mbeu i nzuya ai igwie mu matalagwe, naiza kutili ni mahalu idu. Itungo ikanyala, ku nsoko ai ngila anga mahalu nakondaniie.
6 kwathi ekuphumeni kwelanga yahangulwa yabuna ngoba yayingelampande.
Kuiti i lyoa nai litolokile, ai inyaile, ku nsoko ai ngila anga mili, ikuma.
7 Enye yasiwela emeveni, ameva asekhula, ayiminyanisa, futhi ayithelanga isithelo.
Mbeu inzuya ai igwie pakati a mija. iMija ikakula nu kuitunyiilya, hangi shanga ikapa inkali yihi.
8 Njalo enye yawela emhlabathini omuhle; yathela isithelo esakhulayo sanda, yazala enye amatshumi amathathu, lenye amatshumi ayisithupha, lenye ikhulu.
Mbeu i nzuya ai igwie mu mahalu ni maza hangi ai ipee i nkali itungo nai yukukula nu kungeeleka, inzuya ai ipee nkua makumi ataatu ikilo, ni nzuya makumi mutandaatu, ni nzuya igana.”
9 Wasesithi kubo: Olendlebe zokuzwa, akezwe.
Hangi wakaligitya, “Wihi nukete i akutwi ni akija, nu ije!”
10 Kwathi eseyedwa, labo ababemphahlile kanye labalitshumi lambili bambuza ngomfanekiso.
uYesu nai wakatula wing'wene, awo nai akoli pakupi nu ng'wenso nawo ni ikumi na abiili ai amukoiye kutula i mpyani.
11 Wasesithi kubo: Kuphiwe kini ukwazi imfihlo yombuso kaNkulunkulu; kodwa labo abangaphandle benzelwa izinto zonke ngemifanekiso;
Akaligitya kitalao, “Kitalanyu minkiigwe kinkunku nika utemi nuang'wa Itunda. Kuiti ku niakoli kunzi kila i kintu ingi mpyani,
12 ukuze bebona babone, bangabonisisi; njalo besizwa bezwe, bangaqedisisi; hlezi loba nini baphenduke, bathethelelwe izono zabo.
iti anga agoze, uu igoza, kuiti shanga ihenga, hangi ku lulo niakija uu ijaa, kuiti shanga ilinga, anga ize shanga uu aza azee mupiluka Itunda ai uzee alekela.”
13 Wasesithi kubo: Kaliwazi lumfanekiso yini? Pho lizayazi njani imifanekiso yonke?
Hangi akaligiya kitalao, “Itii shanga mulingile i mpyani iyi? Mukuhuma uli kulinga i mpyani ni ingiiza?
14 Umhlanyeli uhlanyela ilizwi.
Mutemeli ai utemee lukani.
15 Njalo abaseceleni kwendlela, yilabo lapho okuhlanyelwa khona ilizwi, futhi nxa belizwa, uSathane ahle afike alisuse ilizwi elihlanyelwe enhliziyweni zabo.
Ing'wi ingi awo nai agwie mu mpelo a anzila, kianza u lukani naza lutemewe. Hangi nai igulye, itungo u Mulugu akapembya nu kuluhola u lukani naiza lutemewe mukati ao.
16 Lalabo ngokunjalo abahlanyelwe emhlabathini olamatshe, abathi, lapho besizwa ilizwi, bahle balemukele ngentokozo,
Hani ang'wi ao ingi awo nai atemewe migulya amatalagwe, naza, nai igulye u lukani, ku ukau akulusingiilya ku ulowa.
17 njalo kabalampande phakathi kwabo, kodwa bahlala okwesikhathi; kuthi sekufika inkathazo kumbe ukuzingelwa ngenxa yelizwi, bahle bakhubeke.
Hnagi agila imili ihi mukati ao, kuiti igimya ku itungo ikupi. Halafu lwago nu wagigwa ni ipembilye ku nsoko a lukani, itungo ikumpyaa.
18 Lalaba yilabo abahlanyelwe emeveni, abalizwayo ilizwi,
Hangi ang'wi ingi awo nai atemewe mu mija. Akulija u lukani.
19 kodwa impisekelo yalumhlaba, lenkohliso yenotho, lenkanuko yezinye izinto kungene kuminyanise ilizwi, futhi ibe ingasatheli. (aiōn g165)
Kuiti unyong'wa nu ihi. ukongelwa nua nsao, ni nsula a makani mangiiza, wi ingiila nu kulutunyiilya u lukani, nu kuleng'wa kupaa inkali. (aiōn g165)
20 Lalaba yilabo abahlanyelwe emhlabathini omuhle, abathi belizwile ilizwi, balemukele, bathele, enye amatshumi amathathu, lenye amatshumi ayisithupha, lenye ikhulu.
Uugwa akoli awo naza atemewe mu mahalu ni maza. Akulija u lukani nu kulusingiilya nu kupa i nkali; ang'wi makumi ataatu, hangi ang'wi makumi mutandatu, hangi ang'wi igana ling'wi.”
21 Wasesithi kubo: Kanti isibane silethwa ukuze sibekwe ngaphansi kwesitsha kumbe ngaphansi kombheda? Angithi ukuze sibekwe esiqobaneni sesibane?
uYesu aka atambuila, “Itii iiza wileta u lumuli mukati ito nu kuluika pihi a nkapu, ang'wi pihi a ulili? Wiluletaa mukati nu kuluika migulya a ishupaka.
22 Ngoba kakukho okufihliweyo okungayikubonakaliswa; akukho okwenzeka kube yimfihlo, kodwa ukuze kube sobala.
Ku nsoko kutili kihi nikipihile naiza shanga kiku kumuka, hangi kutili i kinkunku naiza shanga kikuikwa kihenga.
23 Nxa umuntu elendlebe zokuzwa akezwe.
Anga ize ukoli nukete i akutwi a kija, nu ije!”
24 Wasesithi kubo: Qaphelisani elikuzwayo. Ngesilinganiso elilinganisa ngaso lizalinganiselwa ngaso, njalo lina elizwayo lizaphiwa ngokwengezelelweyo.
Aka atambuila, “Tuli miakendegeeli ku iko ni mukukija, ku nsoko u ugemeelya ni mukugemeelya, kiko ni mukagemeeligwa, hangi kikongeligwa kitalanyu.
25 Ngoba loba ngubani olakho, uzaphiwa; kodwa loba ngubani ongelakho, uzakwemukwa lalokho alakho.
Ku nsoko nuanso nukete, ukinkiiligwa ikilo, hangi uyo nimugila, kupuma kitalakwe ikuholwa ga nizo nuikete.”
26 Wasesithi: Unjalo umbuso kaNkulunkulu, njengokuba nxa umuntu ephosa inhlanyelo emhlabathini,
Hangi akaligitya, “Utemi nuang'wa Itunda wimpyanigwe nu muntu nai utemee i mbeu mu mahalu.
27 njalo alale abesevuka ebusuku lemini, lenhlanyelo imile njalo ikhule, yena kakwazi ukuthi njani.
Nai wakalala u utiku nu kuuka i kidaudau, ni mbeu ikaheluka nu kukula, Ga ni uu shanga ulingile nai ipumie.
28 Ngoba umhlabathi uyathela ngokwawo, kuqala usungulo, kulandele isikhwebu, kulandele amabele apheleleyo esikhwetshini.
Ihi ipumyaa i mbeu nkola; hanza matutu, alafu ulua, alafu mbeu niakagupaa.
29 Kodwa nxa sesivuthiwe isithelo, uhle athumeze isikela, ngoba ukuvuna sekufikile.
Hangi itungo imbeu ni ikatula ailyaa itungo witwalaa uzolo, ku nsoko i maogola apikiila.”
30 Wathi futhi: Sizawufananisa lani umbuso kaNkulunkulu? Kumbe sizawufananisa ngomfanekiso bani?
Hangi akaligitya, “kuimpyanie u utemi nuang'wa itunda ni kintu kii, ang'wi kutumile mpyani kii ku uganula?
31 Unjengohlamvu lwemasitedi, oluthi nxa seluhlanyelwe emhlabathini, luncinyane kulazo zonke inhlamvu ezisemhlabeni;
Ingi anga i mbeu a haradali, naiza ai itemewe ingi niino nangaluu kukila i mbeu yihi mihi.
32 njalo nxa seluhlanyelwe, lukhule, lube lukhulu lwedlule izilimo zonke, lwenze ingatsha ezinkulu, kuze kuthi inyoni zezulu zingakhela ngaphansi komthunzi wazo.
Ga, ni itungo naza itemewe, ikukula nu kutula nkulu ikilo nila mimea ihi mu shuli, hangi izipyaa ntaambi nkulu, ga ni nyunyi nia kilunde ihumaa kuzipya iuyi niao mu mululi nuakwe.”
33 Waselikhuluma kubo ilizwi ngemifanekiso eminengi enjalo, njengamandla abo okuzwa;
Ku mpyani idu ai umanyisilye hangi ai uligitilye u lukani kitalao, ku upikiilo nai uhumile kulinga,
34 kodwa ngaphandle komfanekiso kakhulumanga kubo; kodwa sebebodwa wabachasisela abafundi bakhe izinto zonke.
hangi shanga ai uligitilye ni enso bila mpyani. Kuiti itungo nai wakatula wing'wene duu, aka aganuila kila i kintu i amanyisigwa akwe.
35 Ngalolosuku sekuhlwile, wasesithi kubo: Asichapheleni ngaphetsheya.
Mu luhiku nulanso, itungo nila mpindi nai lipikiie, akaligitya kitalao, “Kweni i nkika a kabiili.”
36 Sebeyekele ixuku lahamba, bamthatha bahamba laye njengoba enjalo emkhunjini. Futhi leminye imikolo yayilaye.
Iti gwa akalileka i umbi, akamuhola uYesu, itungo nilanso yakondaa ai watula mukati ilinga. Malinga mauya ai atulaa palung'wi nu ng'wenso.
37 Kwasekuvuka isiphepho esikhulu somoya; lamagagasi aphoseka emkhunjini, waze wagcwala khathesi.
Nu ng'wega utaki nua kimpupu ni maingu ai atulaa akingila mukati a mulinga nu mulinga ai wakondyaa kutula wizula.
38 Njalo yena wayengemuva emkhunjini elele emqamelweni; basebemvusa, bathi kuye: Mfundisi, kawukhathali yini ukuthi siyabhubha?
Kuiti uYesu mukola ai ukoli mu shetri, ulae mu muto. Akamutambuila, azeligitya, “Ng'walimu, shanga ulingile kina usese kuusha?”
39 Wasevuka wakhuza umoya, wathi kulo ulwandle: Thula, uthi zwi! Umoya wasuqamuka, kwasekusiba khona ukuthula okukhulu.
Hangi akauka, akaukenela u ng'wega nu kuluila u luzi, “Itule ihi twii, ulyuuku.” Ung'wega ukapela, hangi ai ituile nu ulyuuku ukulu.
40 Wasesithi kubo: Kungani lisesaba kangaka? Kalilakholo ngani?
Hangi akaligitya kitalao, “Ku niki mukitumba? Itii mukili miagila u uhuiili?”
41 Basebesesaba ngokwesaba okukhulu, bathi omunye komunye: Kanti ungubani lo, ukuthi lomoya lolwandle kumlalele?
Akizuilwa nu woa ukulu mukati ao hangi akitambulya enso ku enso, “Uyu ingi nyenyu hangi, ku nsoko ga nu ng'wega nu luzi ikumugombya.”
