UMakho 4
1 Wasebuya waqala ukufundisa ngaselwandle; kwasekubuthana kuye ixuku elikhulu, waze wangena emkhunjini wahlala olwandle; njalo ixuku lonke lalisemhlabathini ngaselwandle.
Hape natanga kuruta kumbali yewate. Mi buungi bwachisi nibwakungana kumuzibuluka, linu nechila chikepe mwiwate, ni kwikala hansi. Chisi chonse chibena kumbali yewate hamutunda.
2 Wasebafundisa izinto ezinengi ngemifanekiso, lekufundiseni kwakhe wathi kubo:
Mi chabaruta zintu zingi muunguli, mi nati kubali muntuto yakwe,
3 Lalelani; khangelani, kwaphuma umhlanyeli ukuyahlanyela.
“Mutekeleze, mulimi abayendi kukubyala imbuto yakwe.
4 Kwasekusithi ekuhlanyeleni, enye yawela eceleni kwendlela, kwasekufika inyoni zezulu zayidla zayiqeda.
Choya bubyala, imwi imbuto niyawila munzila, imi zizuni nizeza kuitotola.
5 Njalo enye yawela emhlabathini olamatshe, lapho eyayingelamhlabathi omnengi khona; futhi yahle yamila, ngoba yayingelakutshona komhlabathi;
Imwi imbuto niyawila mwibu lyamabwe, muisena ibabi ni ibu lingi. Hohwaho bulyo chiya mena, mukuti kena ibena ibu liya hansi.
6 kwathi ekuphumeni kwelanga yahangulwa yabuna ngoba yayingelampande.
Kono izuba haliñatula, chizahiswa, mi chebaka lyakuti kanazibena muhisi, ziba zumi.
7 Enye yasiwela emeveni, ameva asekhula, ayiminyanisa, futhi ayithelanga isithelo.
Imwi imbuto niyawila muzisamu zamiiya. Zisamu zamiiya nizakula ni kuzipuputiza, mi kana zibabiki nanga buheke.
8 Njalo enye yawela emhlabathini omuhle; yathela isithelo esakhulayo sanda, yazala enye amatshumi amathathu, lenye amatshumi ayisithupha, lenye ikhulu.
Imwi imbuto niyawila mwibu ilotu ni kubika buheke muzaabukula ni zabuekeza, mi zimwi nizaleta chakuminihanya makumi otatwe kubungi, imi zimwi makumi amana iyanza ni kumi, mi zimwi mwanda.”
9 Wasesithi kubo: Olendlebe zokuzwa, akezwe.
Mi chati, “Yese wina matwi akuzuwa, mumusiye azuwe!”
10 Kwathi eseyedwa, labo ababemphahlile kanye labalitshumi lambili bambuza ngomfanekiso.
Jesus habena yeyena, babena hafuhi naye ni bena ikumi ni bobele babamubuzi kuamana ni nguli.
11 Wasesithi kubo: Kuphiwe kini ukwazi imfihlo yombuso kaNkulunkulu; kodwa labo abangaphandle benzelwa izinto zonke ngemifanekiso;
Chati kubali, “Kwenu kuhelwe ikunutu yomubuso wa Ireeza. Kono kubeena hanze zonse zina munguli,
12 ukuze bebona babone, bangabonisisi; njalo besizwa bezwe, bangaqedisisi; hlezi loba nini baphenduke, bathethelelwe izono zabo.
Kokuti habalola, ee balola, kono kababoni, ni kuti habazuwa, ee bazuwa, kono kabazuwisisi, kamba hamwi pona chibasanduka mi Ireeza pona chobakwatila.”
13 Wasesithi kubo: Kaliwazi lumfanekiso yini? Pho lizayazi njani imifanekiso yonke?
Mi chati kubali, “Kamuzuwisisi iyi inguli? Mumuzuwisise bule inguli zonse zimwi?
14 Umhlanyeli uhlanyela ilizwi.
Mulimi yobyala imbuto njeye yobyala iinzwi.
15 Njalo abaseceleni kwendlela, yilabo lapho okuhlanyelwa khona ilizwi, futhi nxa belizwa, uSathane ahle afike alisuse ilizwi elihlanyelwe enhliziyweni zabo.
Bamwi njezina ziwila kumbali yamugwagwa, mulibabyalwa liinzwi. Mi habalizuwa, hahobulyo Satani ulizwisa mi uhinda liinzwi liba byalwa mubali.
16 Lalabo ngokunjalo abahlanyelwe emhlabathini olamatshe, abathi, lapho besizwa ilizwi, bahle balemukele ngentokozo,
Mi bamwi njabo babyalwa hebu lyamabwe, ili abo, habazuwa liinzwi, hahobulyo balitambula chakusaanga.
17 njalo kabalampande phakathi kwabo, kodwa bahlala okwesikhathi; kuthi sekufika inkathazo kumbe ukuzingelwa ngenxa yelizwi, bahle bakhubeke.
Mi kabena muhisi mubali beene, kono balikozakoza chenakozana. Linu bukabo ni kunyandiswa kwiza chebaka lyaliizwi, hahobulyo bachunchula.
18 Lalaba yilabo abahlanyelwe emeveni, abalizwayo ilizwi,
Mi bamwi njabo babyalwa mukati kamiiya. Bazuwa liinzwi,
19 kodwa impisekelo yalumhlaba, lenkohliso yenotho, lenkanuko yezinye izinto kungene kuminyanise ilizwi, futhi ibe ingasatheli. (aiōn g165)
kono babilela ni zenkanda, kuchengwa chifumu, ni ntakazo zazintu zimwi zinjila mo ni kwihaya liinzwi, mi liba lisabiiki zibikantu. (aiōn g165)
20 Lalaba yilabo abahlanyelwe emhlabathini omuhle, abathi belizwile ilizwi, balemukele, bathele, enye amatshumi amathathu, lenye amatshumi ayisithupha, lenye ikhulu.
Linu kwina abo bababyalwa mwibu ilotu. Bazuwa liinzwi ni kulitambula ni kubika zihantu: zimwi makumi otatwe, mi zimwi makumi amana iyanza ni kumi, mi zimwi mwanda”.
21 Wasesithi kubo: Kanti isibane silethwa ukuze sibekwe ngaphansi kwesitsha kumbe ngaphansi kombheda? Angithi ukuze sibekwe esiqobaneni sesibane?
Jesu nati kubali, “Muleta ilambi munzubo ni kulibika mwikonde yechitanda, kamba mwikonde lyabulo? Mulileta mukati ni kulitula hachitulilo chelambi.
22 Ngoba kakukho okufihliweyo okungayikubonakaliswa; akukho okwenzeka kube yimfihlo, kodwa ukuze kube sobala.
Mukuti kakwina chiuungilwa chiseti ni chizibahazwe, mi kakwina inkunutu yiseti niibe henkanza.
23 Nxa umuntu elendlebe zokuzwa akezwe.
Heba zumwi wina matwi akuzuwa, mumusiye azuwe!”
24 Wasesithi kubo: Qaphelisani elikuzwayo. Ngesilinganiso elilinganisa ngaso lizalinganiselwa ngaso, njalo lina elizwayo lizaphiwa ngokwengezelelweyo.
Nati kubali, “Mutwalize kuchi muzuwa, intikanyezo imulikanisa, yete nimulikanyezwe chayo, mi muiwelwe kwenu.
25 Ngoba loba ngubani olakho, uzaphiwa; kodwa loba ngubani ongelakho, uzakwemukwa lalokho alakho.
Mukuti yense wina, kwali kakuwelwa ni kuhita, mi yense yasena, kwali mukuhindililwe ni zakwete.”
26 Wasesithi: Unjalo umbuso kaNkulunkulu, njengokuba nxa umuntu ephosa inhlanyelo emhlabathini,
Mi nichati, “Mubuso wa Ireeza uswana sina muntu yobyala imbuto hansi.
27 njalo alale abesevuka ebusuku lemini, lenhlanyelo imile njalo ikhule, yena kakwazi ukuthi njani.
Ulala masiku ni kubuka musihali, mi imbuto imena ni kukula, nanga kezibite kuti mbobule.
28 Ngoba umhlabathi uyathela ngokwawo, kuqala usungulo, kulandele isikhwebu, kulandele amabele apheleleyo esikhwetshini.
Ibu libika buheke ilyo liine: intanzi ituunga, linu chikunku, linu kwiza buheke bubuzwile kuchikunku.
29 Kodwa nxa sesivuthiwe isithelo, uhle athumeze isikela, ngoba ukuvuna sekufikile.
Mi buheke habubuzwa hahobulyo utumina ijekisi hanze, mukuti inkutulo chiyasika”.
30 Wathi futhi: Sizawufananisa lani umbuso kaNkulunkulu? Kumbe sizawufananisa ngomfanekiso bani?
Mi nati, “Mubuso wa Ireeza tuwola kuubambanya ni chi, kamba inguli inzi ituwola tendisa kukuutoloka?
31 Unjengohlamvu lwemasitedi, oluthi nxa seluhlanyelwe emhlabathini, luncinyane kulazo zonke inhlamvu ezisemhlabeni;
Ukola sina imbuto yamasitate iti, chiibyalitwe, nji iha nikuhita imbuto yahebu.
32 njalo nxa seluhlanyelwe, lukhule, lube lukhulu lwedlule izilimo zonke, lwenze ingatsha ezinkulu, kuze kuthi inyoni zezulu zingakhela ngaphansi komthunzi wazo.
Mihe, chiibyalitwe, ikula ni kuba bukando kuzamba zonse zimenantu zoluwa, mi itenda mitavi mikando, kokuti zizuni zewulu ziwola kuchita zizumbo mumuzunde wayo.”
33 Waselikhuluma kubo ilizwi ngemifanekiso eminengi enjalo, njengamandla abo okuzwa;
Chenguli zingi ziswana nezi nawamba liinzwi kubali, chabuungi kakuya kamubawolela kuzuwisisa,
34 kodwa ngaphandle komfanekiso kakhulumanga kubo; kodwa sebebodwa wabachasisela abafundi bakhe izinto zonke.
imi kanaabawambi kubali nikusena inguli. Kono habali yeyena, abatoloki zintu zonse kubarutwana bakwe.
35 Ngalolosuku sekuhlwile, wasesithi kubo: Asichapheleni ngaphetsheya.
Mwelyo izuba, hakuba chitengu, nati kubali, “Tulutile mulimwi ishilya.”
36 Sebeyekele ixuku lahamba, bamthatha bahamba laye njengoba enjalo emkhunjini. Futhi leminye imikolo yayilaye.
Linu nibasiya chisi, kuhinda ni Jesu, kakuti chabena kale muchikepe. Zimwi zikepe nazo zibena naye.
37 Kwasekuvuka isiphepho esikhulu somoya; lamagagasi aphoseka emkhunjini, waze wagcwala khathesi.
Mi ihuho likalihite ikando chilyabuka mi masuunda abali kwi njila muchikepe mukuti chikepe chichibezwile.
38 Njalo yena wayengemuva emkhunjini elele emqamelweni; basebemvusa, bathi kuye: Mfundisi, kawukhathali yini ukuthi siyabhubha?
Kono Jesu iyemwine abeena muluheho lwachikepe, nalele hamushamo. Chibamubusa, nibacho, “Muruti, kobileli nihatusaka kufwa?”
39 Wasevuka wakhuza umoya, wathi kulo ulwandle: Thula, uthi zwi! Umoya wasuqamuka, kwasekusiba khona ukuthula okukhulu.
Mi, haabuuswa, na kalimela luhuho ni kucho kwiwate, “Inkozo, tukumane.” Mi ihuho nilya zimana, mi kubena kutontola kukando.
40 Wasesithi kubo: Kungani lisesaba kangaka? Kalilakholo ngani?
Mi nati kubali, “Chinzi hamutiite? Kamwini kuba ni intumelo?”
41 Basebesesaba ngokwesaba okukhulu, bathi omunye komunye: Kanti ungubani lo, ukuthi lomoya lolwandle kumlalele?
Babezuli kutiya kukando mi ni bawamba zumwi ku zumwi, “Linu njeni uzu, mukuti nanga ihuho ni wate zimuzuwa?”
