UMathewu 17
1 Lemva kwensuku eziyisithupha uJesu wathatha uPetro loJakobe loJohane umfowabo, wasekhwela labo entabeni ende bebodwa.
Gakapiteje mobha shita, a Yeshu gubhaatolilenje a Petili na a Yakobho na a Yowana apwabho, gubhajombokenje ku shitumbi shashileu.
2 Waseguqulwa isimo phambi kwabo, njalo ubuso bakhe bakhanya njengelanga, lezembatho zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya.
Kweneko, a Yeshu gubhapindikwishe lubhombo pa meyo gabhonji, kumeyo kwabho kwashinkung'anyima malinga lyubha na nngubho yabho puyaliji yanawe malinga shilangaya.
3 Futhi khangela, kwasekubonakala kubo uMozisi loElija, bekhuluma laye.
A Musha na a Eliya gubhaakoposhelenje, gubhalinginji nkubheleketa na a Yeshu.
4 UPetro wasephendula wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, kuhle ukuthi sibe lapha. Uba uthanda, asakhe lapha amadumba amathathu, elinye ngelakho, lelinye ngelikaMozisi, lelinye ngelikaElija.
Penepo a Petili gubhaalugulile a Yeshu, “Mmakulungwa, shankonja uwe kubha apano! Mpingaga shinjenje mabhanda gatatu, limo lyenu na lina lya a Musha na lina lya a Eliya.”
5 Kwathi esakhuluma, khangela, iyezi elikhanyayo labasibekela; futhi khangela, ilizwi laphuma eyezini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo; zwanini yona.
Pubhaliji nkubheleketa nneyo, liunde lya nawe likwaaunishilangaga, lilobhe gulipilkanishe koposhela nniundemo, “Jweneju ni mwanangu jungumpinga, anonyela, mumpilikanilanje.”
6 Sebezwile abafundi, bawa phansi ngobuso babo, besaba kakhulu.
Bhaajiganywa bhakapilikananjeje nneyo gubhagwilenje namanguku, gubhajogopenje kaje.
7 Kodwa uJesu weza wabathinta wathi: Sukumani lingesabi.
A Yeshu gubhaajendelenje, nikwaakwayanga, gubhashite, “Nnjimangane, nnajogopanje!”
8 Sebephakamisile amehlo abo, kababonanga muntu, ngaphandle kukaJesu yedwa.
Bhakalolanjeje kunani bhangammonanga mundu juna, ikabhe a Yeshu jikape.
9 Sebesehla entabeni, uJesu wabalaya, wathi: Lingatsheli muntu lowombono, ize ivuke kwabafileyo iNdodana yomuntu.
Bhai, pubhalinginji bhalielelanga kopoka kushitumbi, a Yeshu gubhaalimbiyenje bhalinkuti, “Nnannugulilanje mundu indu imwiibhweninji, mpaka Mwana juka Mundu pashayuywe.”
10 Abafundi bakhe basebembuza bathi: Pho batsholoni ababhali ukuthi uElija ufanele ukufika kuqala?
Kungai bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaabhushiyenje, “Pakuti bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhakutinji inapinjikwa bhatandubhe kuika a Eliya?”
11 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: UElija uzafika kuqala isibili, uzabuyisela zonke izinto;
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Kweli, a Eliya shibhaishe kualaya indu yowe.
12 kodwa ngitsho kini ukuthi uElija sewafika, kodwa kabamazanga, kodwa benza kuye konke ababekuthanda; ngokunjalo leNdodana yomuntu izahlutshwa yibo.
Ikabheje ngunakummalanjilanga, a Eliya bhaaishe bhanganyabho bhangaamanyanga, ikabhe bhashinkwaatendelanga mwaapinjilenje. Nneyo peyo mwana juka Mundu apinga potekwa mmakono gabhonji.”
13 Abafundi basebeqedisisa ukuthi wakhuluma labo ngoJohane uMbhabhathizi.
Penepo bhaajiganywa bhala gubhamumanyinji kuti bhatendaga kwaabhalanjilanga ga a Yowana Bhabhatisha.
14 Kwathi sebefikile exukwini, kweza kuye umuntu waguqa phambi kwakhe wathi:
Bhakaikangananjeje ku bhandu bhagumbelenje bhala, bhandu bhamo gubhaajendele a Yeshu, nikwaatindibhalila,
15 Nkosi, akuhawukele indodana yami, ngoba ilesithuthwane iyahlupheka kakhulu; ngoba iwele kanengi emlilweni, futhi kanengi emanzini.
gubhashite, “Mmakulungwa, mummonele shiya mwanangu ashikola shialala, numbe analaga kaje, papagwinji anagwila pa moto eu mmashi.
16 Njalo ngiyilethe kubafundi bakho, kodwa bebengelakho ukuyisilisa.
Nashinkumpeleka kubhaajiganywa bhenu ikabheje bhangakombolanga kunshoya.”
17 UJesu wasephendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo lesonakeleyo, koze kube nini ngilani? Koze kube nini ngilibekezelela? Mletheni kimi lapha.
A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Alu lubheleko lwangali ngulupai na lwa puganika! Shindame na mmanganya mpaka shakani? Shinikakatimile na mmanganya mpaka shakani? Munnjiyenajonji akuno mwanajo,”
18 UJesu waselikhuza, idimoni laseliphuma kuyo, umntwana wasesila kusukela kulelohola.
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhankalipile liokajo, nigwanshoshile mwana jula, gwalamile malanga gala.
19 Abafundi basebesiza kuJesu bebodwa bathi: Kungani thina sehlulekile ukulikhupha?
Kungai bhaajiganywa gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu shintemela, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Pakuti uwe twangakombola kunshoya lioka jula?”
20 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Kungenxa yokungakholwa kwenu. Ngoba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Aluba lilokholo olunjengohlamvu lwemasitedi, lizakuthi kulintaba: Suka lapha uye laphaya; njalo izasuka; futhi kaliyikwehlulwa lutho.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Kwa ligongo lya ungakulupalila gwenunji. Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, ibhaga shinkolanje ngulupai, nkali jajishoko malinga mbeju ja aladali, shinkombolanje kushilugulila nkali ashi shitumbishi, ‘Shokapa ujende akula,’ shishijende. Shakwa shoshowe shikaakomboleka kungwenunji.”
21 Kodwa loluhlobo kaluphumi ngaphandle kwangomkhuleko langokuzila ukudla.
Ikabheje lioka jwa nnei akashoka ila kwa tabha na juga.
22 Besahlezi eGalili, uJesu wathi kubo: INdodana yomuntu isizanikelwa ezandleni zabantu,
Pubhalinginji pamo ku Galilaya, a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Mwana juka Mundu apinga kamuywa ku bhandunji.
23 njalo bazayibulala, kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu izavuswa. Basebedabuka kakhulu.
Bhapinga kummulaganga, ikabheje lyubha lya tatu shayuywe.” Bhaajiganywa gubhainjikenje kaje.
24 Kwathi sebefikile eKapenawume, abemukela umthelo beza kuPetro bathi: Umfundisi wenu katheli yini?
A Yeshu na bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakaikanganeje ku Kapalanaumu, bhakamula koli ja liekalu bhala gubhaajendelenje a Petili, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhuli, bhaajiganya bhenunji bhalilipa koli ja Liekalu?”
25 Wathi: Yebo. Esengenile endlini, uJesu wamandulela wathi: Ucabangani, Simoni? Amakhosi omhlaba emukela kubani imfanelo kumbe imithelo? Kumadodana abo yini, kumbe kwabezizwe?
A Petili gubhajangwile, “Elo, bhalilipa.” Bhai a Petili bhakajinjileje nnyumba, bhakanabhe bheleketa lilobhe, a Yeshu gubhaabhushiye, “A Shimoni, mmwe nkubhona bhuli? Ashimpalume bha shilambolyo bhanalonganga koli kwa ashigani? Kwa ashaayene shilambo eu ku bhajeninji?”
26 UPetro wathi kuye: Kwabezizwe. UJesu wathi kuye: Ngakho-ke amadodana akhululekile.
A Petili gubhajangwile, “Kopoka ku bhajeninji.” A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Bhai monaga nneyo, bhashilambo bhakaalipanga koli.
27 Kodwa-ke ukuze singabakhubekisi, hamba uye elwandle uphose ingwegwe, uthathe inhlanzi ezaphuma kuqala; kuzakuthi usuvule umlomo wayo uzathola imali; uyithathe ubanike ibe ngeyami leyakho.
Ikabheje tunaatumbayanje, nnjende kulitanda nkatambishe ndowana, shamaki shatandubhe tanjilajo muntole, munng'unukule kang'wa, nkatimo shimwiimane mmbiya ya koli. Ntole nkaapanganje pangunne na mmayene.”
