UMathewu 11
1 Kwasekusithi uJesu eseqedile ukulaya abafundi bakhe abalitshumi lambili, wasuka lapho ukuyafundisa lokutshumayela emizini yabo.
Yesu bu kamanisa vana zithumunu ziozi kuidi kumi minlonguki miandi miodi, wuyenda longi ayi samuna mu mavula mawu.
2 Kwathi uJohane esentolongweni esezwile imisebenzi kaKristu, wathuma ababili babafundi bakhe,
Yowani Mbotiki mu thangu kaba mu nloko, wuwa tsangu yi mavanga momo Klisto kaba vanganga, buna wufidisa minlonguki miandi muingi banyuvula:
3 wathi kuye: Wena unguye ozayo yini, kumbe silindele omunye?
—Bukiedika kuandi ti ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tuvingila wunkaka e?
4 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Hambani limtshele uJohane izinto elizizwayo lelizibonayo:
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Luvutuka kuidi Yowani ayi lunkamba mambu momo lulembo wa ayi lulembo moni:
5 Iziphofu zibuye zibone, leziqhuli ziyahamba, abalobulephero bayahlanjululwa, lezacuthe ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswa, labayanga bayatshunyayezwa ivangeli;
batu bafua meso balembo moni; makoka malembo diati; batu babuazi balembo vedusu; batu bafua matu balembo wi ayi bafua balembo fuluka ayi Nsamu Wumboti wulembo longu kuidi batu basukama.
6 njalo ubusisiwe loba ngubani ongakhubekiyo ngami.
Khini kuidi mutu wela kambu zimbisa minu kiandi mu diambu diama.
7 Kwathi labo sebesuka uJesu waqala ukukhuluma emaxukwini ngoJohane wathi: Laphuma laya enkangala ukuyabonani? Umhlanga onyikinywa ngumoya yini?
Mu thangu minlonguki mivutuka, Yesu wubaka diluaku di yolukila mambu ma Yowani Mbotiki kuidi nkangu wu batu: —Mbi biobi luyenda tala ku dikanga e? Nti wufioti wulembo vevomono kuidi phemo e?
8 Kanti laphumela ukuyabonani? Umuntu owembethe izembatho ezibuthakathaka yini? Khangelani, abembethe ezibuthakathaka basezindlini zamakhosi.
Vayi buna nani luyenda tala e? Mutu wuvuata minledi mi kitoko e? Nana. Bila batu bobo bamvuatanga minledi mi kitoko mu zinzo zi mintinu bankalanga.
9 Pho laphumela ukuyabonani? Umprofethi yini? Yebo, ngithi kini: Loba owedlula umprofethi;
Vayi buna mbi luyenda tala? Mbikudi luyenda tala e? Nyinga, buawu kuandi vayi ndikulukamba ti niandi viokidi mbikudi.
10 ngoba lo nguye okulotshwe ngaye ukuthi: Khangela, mina ngiyathuma isithunywa sami phambi kobuso bakho, esizalungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho.
Bila niandi mutu wowo minkanda milembo tubila ti: tala, mfidisidi mvualꞌama ku ntualꞌaku, niandi wela kukubikila nzila!
11 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kakuvelanga phakathi kwabazelwe ngabesifazana omkhulu kuloJohane uMbhabhathizi. Kodwa omncinyane embusweni wamazulu mkhulu kulaye.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba: mu batu boso bobo babutu kuidi baketo, kuisi ko mutu wowo viokidi Yowani Mbotiki. Vayi mutu wowo wulutidi kefa mu kipfumu ki Diyilu, wunlutidi.
12 Njalo kusukela ensukwini zikaJohane uMbhabhathizi kuze kube khathesi umbuso wamazulu uphathwa ngodlakela, labalodlakela bawuthatha ngamandla.
Tona mu bilumbu bi Yowani Mbotiki nate buabu Kipfumu ki Diyilu kilembo bakulu mu kingolo ayi batu ba ngolo bawu kaka banzionanga kiawu.
13 Ngoba abaprofethi bonke lomlayo baprofetha kwaze kwaba nguJohane;
Bila Mina ayi mimbikudi mioso mibikula nate mu thangu Yowani.
14 njalo uba livuma ukukwemukela, lo unguElija obezakuza.
Enati lutidi ku diwilukila buna luzaba ti niandi Eli mutu wowo wufueti kuiza.
15 Olendlebe zokuzwa, akezwe.
Woso widi matu ma wilu buna bika kawa.
16 Kodwa ngizasifananisa lani lesisizukulwana? Sifanana labantwana abahlezi emamakethe, bememeza kubangane babo,
—Banga mbi ndenda dedikisa tsungi yayi e? Yidedikini banga bana bafioti bavuendi va zandu ayi balembo tedi bakundi bawu:
17 besithi: Salitshayela umhlanga, kodwa kalisinanga; salililela, kodwa kalikhalanga.
Beto tulusikidi nsioni lusia kina ko; tuyimbila minkunga mi mafua vayi lusia nionga ko.
18 Ngoba uJohane wafika engadli enganathi, basebesithi: Uledimoni.
Bila Yowani wuyiza, kasa nua ko ayi kasa dia ko vayi bakamba: “pheve yimbimbi yidi yandi!”
19 INdodana yomuntu yafika isidla inatha, basebesithi: Khangelani, umuntu oligovu lesinathi sewayini, umngane wabathelisi lezoni. Kodwa inhlakanipho ithiwa ilungile ngabantwana bayo.
Vayi Muana Mutu, wuyiza, wundia ayi wunua ayi bakamba: “Niandi nzuna kadi ayi kolo mbungu, nkundi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi wu bankua masumu.” Vayi nduenga yimonikanga bumboti mu mavanga mandi.
20 Waseqala ukusola imizi okwakwenziwe phakathi kwayo ubunengi bemisebenzi yakhe yamandla, ngoba ingaphendukanga, wathi:
Bosi wutubidila ngolo mavula momo mu kavangila bikumu biandi biwombo, bila batu bobo basia balula mavanga mawu ko.
21 Maye kuwe, Korazini! Maye kuwe, Bhethisayida! Ngoba uba kwakwenziwe eTire leSidoni imisebenzi yamandla eyenziwe kini, ngabe kade baphenduka emasakeni lemlotheni.
—Mabienga kuidi ngeyo Kolazini ayi ngeyo Betezayida bila enati ndivanga mu mavula ma Tile ayi Sidoni bikumu biobi ndivanga va beno, nganu thama batu ba mavula beni bavuata zitsaku ayi bakivinda dibombi mu monisa ti babaludi mintima.
22 Kodwa ngithi kini: Kuzakuba ngcono eTire leSidoni ngosuku lwesigwebo kulakini.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba mu lumbu kitsambusu, Tile ayi Sidoni bela baka thumbudulu yifioti vayi yeno yela luta ngolo!
23 Lawe, Kapenawume, ophakanyiselwe ezulwini, uzaphoselwa phansi esihogweni; ngoba uba yayenziwe eSodoma imisebenzi yamandla eyenziwe kuwe, ngabe basekhona kuze kube lamuhla. (Hadēs g86)
Bosi ngeyo Kafalinawumi, wumuena ti ngeyo wela tombulu ku yilu e? Nana! Wela kululu nate ku tsi bafua! Bila enati ndivanga mu Sodomo bikumu banga biobi ndivanga kuidi ngeyo, nganu divula beni dilembo zingi nate buabu. (Hadēs g86)
24 Kodwa ngithi kini: Kuzakuba ngcono kulizwe leSodoma ngosuku lwesigwebo, kulakuwe.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba mu lumbu kitsambusu, thumbudulu yi Sodomo yela ba yideduka, yaku yela viatuka ngolo!
25 Ngalesosikhathi uJesu waphendula wathi: Ngiyakubonga, Baba, Nkosi yezulu lomhlaba, ngoba uzifihlile lezizinto kwabahlakaniphileyo labaqedisisayo, kodwa wazembulela izingane;
Mu thangu yina, Yesu wukamba: —A Tata, Pfumu yi Diyilu ayi yi ntoto, ndikukembisa bu wusueka mambu mama kuidi batu badi nzayilu ayi kuidi batu badi diela vayi wumonisa mawu kuidi bana bafioti.
26 yebo Baba, ngoba ngokunjalo kwaba kuhle phambi kwakho.
Nyinga Tata, buawu bobo bubela luzolo luaku.
27 Konke kwanikelwa kimi nguBaba; njalo kakho oyaziyo iNdodana, ngaphandle kukaYise; kakho futhi omaziyo uYise ngaphandle kweNdodana, njalo loba ngubani iNdodana ethanda ukumembulela.
Dise diama niandi wuphana bima bioso. Kuisi ko mutu zebi Muana vayi Tata kaka wunzebi. Kuisi ko mutu zebi Tata vayi Muana wunzebi ayi mutu wowo Muana kazodidi kummonikisa niandi.
28 Wozani kimi lonke elikhatheleyo lelisindiweyo, njalo mina ngizaliphumuza.
Yizanu kuidi minu beno boso bobo luvongidi ayi luneti mimfuna, minu mandi luvundisa.
29 Thathani ijogwe lami lilibeke phezu kwenu lifunde kimi, ngoba ngimnene ngithobekile enhliziyweni; njalo lizathola ukuphumula emiphefumulweni yenu;
Bika lubonga vangu kiama, lulonguka kuidi minu bila minu ndidi mutu wu ntima wulembami ayi wukuluka ayi ma lubaka luvundulu mu miela mieno.
30 ngoba ijogwe lami libutshelezi, lomthwalo wami ulula.
Bukiedika vangu kiama kisi phasi mu nata ko ayi mfunꞌama wisi zitu ko.
