UMathewu 18
1 Ngalesosikhathi abafundi beza kuJesu, bathi: Kanti ngubani omkhulu embusweni wamazulu?
Omwanya ogwo abheigisibhwa nibhaja ku Yesu nibhamuhwila ati, “Niga omukulu mubhukama bhwa mulwile?”
2 UJesu wasebizela kuye umntwana omncane wammisa phakathi kwabo,
Mbe Yesu nabhilikila omwana omulela, namutula agati yebhwe,
3 wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi liphenduke libe njengabantwana abancane, kalisoze lingene embusweni wamazulu.
Naika ati, “Ni chimali enibhabhwila, mukabhula okuta na mkabha lwa abhana abhalela mtakutula okwingila mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.
4 Ngakho lowo ozazithoba njengalumntwana omncane, nguye omkhulu embusweni wamazulu.
Kulwejo unu kekeya lwo mwana omulela, omunu lwoyo nimukulu mubhukama bhwa mulwile.
5 Njalo loba ngubani owemukela abe munye umntwana omncane onje ebizweni lami, wemukela mina.
Na wona wona unu kalamila omwana omulela kwisina lyani kandamilaanye.
6 Kodwa loba ngubani okhubekisa omunye walaba abancinyane abakholwa kimi, kungakuhle kuye ukuthi ilitshe lokuchola elikhulu lilengiswe entanyeni yakhe, abesetshoniswa enzikini yolwandle.
Nawe unu kendelela umwi mu bhatoto bhanu abhanyikilisha bhaleme okungwa, jakabhee jakisi omunu oyo bhamubhoye olubhui (olumengo) mubhicha bhyaye, na bhamutubhishe muda ya inyanja.
7 Maye kuwo umhlaba ngenxa yezikhubekiso! Ngoba izikhubekiso zimele ukufika; kodwa maye kulowomuntu, esifika ngaye isikhubekiso!
Echalo jakubhona, kwa insonga ya akatungu ka amasakwa! Kulwokubha ni bhusi bhusi ago gona agaja mukatungu ako, nawe jilimubhona omunuyo alisangilisibhwa na amasakwa ago!
8 Njalo uba isandla sakho kumbe unyawo lwakho kukukhubekisa, kuqume ukulahlele khatshana lawe; kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni uyingini kumbe uyisiqhwala, kulokuthi ulezandla ezimbili kumbe inyawo ezimbili uphoselwe emlilweni olaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
Labha okubhoko kwao amo okugulu kwao okuletelesha amasakwa, mbe nukuteme ukurase Kula nawe. Nijakisi muno kwawe okwingila mubhuanga utali na kubhoko amo uli mulema, nawe utalaswa mumulilo gwa akajanende uli na amabhoko na amagulu gona. (aiōnios g166)
9 Futhi uba ilihlo lakho likukhubekisa, likhuphe ulilahlele khatshana lawe; kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni ulelihlo elilodwa, kulokuthi ulamehlo amabili uphoselwe esihogweni somlilo. (Geenna g1067)
Mbe labha eliso lyao nilikwendelesha obhunyamuke, nulisoshemo ulilase kula nawe. Nijakisi muno kwawe okwingila mubhuanga uli na liso limwi, nawe utalaswa mumulilo gwa akajanende uli na meso gona. (Geenna g1067)
10 Qaphelani lingadeleli omunye walaba abancinyane, ngoba ngithi kini: Emazulwini ingilosi zabo zihlala zibona ubuso bukaBaba osemazulwini.
Mbe mwitegeleshe, Mwasiga kugaya oumwi wa abhatoto bhanu. Kulwokubha enibhabhwila kutya mulwire bhalimo bhamalaika abhenene nsiku jona bhasamaliye obhusu bhwa lata Unu Ali mwigulu.
11 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu ize ukusindisa okwakulahlekile.
(Gwata kutya: Emisango jinu ejibhonekana okubha Jo olugobho lwa 11, “Kulwokubha Omwana wa Adamu ejile okuchungula chinu chaliga chibhulile,” Emisango ejo jitabhonekene mu Mandiko agakala).
12 Licabangani? Uba umuntu othile elezimvu ezilikhulu, besekulahleka enye yazo, kazitshiyi yini ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye, ahambe ezintabeni ukuyadinga elahlekileyo?
Omwiganilisha kutiki? Akasanga omunu ali na jinyabhalega egana limwi, na inyabhalega imwi nibhulako, atakusiga ejindi makumi mwenda na mwenda mwibanga nagenda okulonda eimwi eyo yabhulile?
13 Futhi uba kungenzakala ukuthi ayithole, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uthokoza ngayo kakhulu kulalezo ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye ezingalahlekanga.
Mbe akefula naibhona, enibhabhwila echimali, kakondelelwa okuibhona kusiga ejindi jinu jitabhulile.
14 Ngokunjalo kayisiyo intando kaYihlo osemazulwini ukuthi kubhubhe abe munye walaba abancinyane.
Kulwejo kutali kwenda kwe Esomwana owa mulwire okulola oumwi wa abhatoto nasingalika.
15 Kodwa nxa umfowenu ekona, hamba umsole phakathi kwakho laye lilodwa. Uba ekuzwa, umzuzile umfowenu;
Mbe labha omumula wanyu akakuyabhila, genda, ujomwelesha obhunyamuke bhunu bhulio agati yao no omwene ali enyele. Akakungwa numenya ati wamulondola.
16 kodwa uba engakuzwa, thatha abe munye kumbe babe babili kanye lawe futhi, ukuze lonke ilizwi liqiniswe ngomlomo wabafakazi ababili kumbe abathathu;
Nawe akabhula okungwa ejao, nugege omuili umwi amo yongesha bhabhili, kulwokubha kuminwa jabhamasaidi bhabhili amo bhasatu bhuli egambo elitula okwimelegulu.
17 njalo nxa esala ukubezwa bona, tshela ibandla; uba esala ukuzwa lalo ibandla, kabe njengowezizwe lomthelisi kuwe.
Na labha akagaya okubhategelesha, nubhwile likanisa ingulu yo omusango gwo, labha akagaya nalema okutegelesha likanisa, mbe kulwejo abhe lwo umunyamaanga naunu kasolosha ligoti.
18 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Konke elizakubopha emhlabeni, kuzakuba kubotshiwe ezulwini; njalo konke elizakukhulula emhlabeni, kuzakuba kukhululiwe ezulwini.
Nichimali enibhabhwila, chona chona echo mulibhoya munsi nolwo mulwire echibhowa. Na chona chona echo mulisulumula munsi nolwo mulwire ona echisulumulwa.
19 Njalo ngithi kini: Uba ababili benu bevumelana emhlabeni loba ngaluphi ulutho abalucelayo, bazalwenzelwa nguBaba osemazulwini.
Enongesha okubhabhwila kutya abhanu bhabhili agati yemwe bhakekilishanya ingulu yo omusango gwona gwona muchalo munu, linu abhasabhwa, Lata wani owa mulwire kalikonja.
20 Ngoba lapho ababili kumbe abathathu ababuthene khona ebizweni lami, ngikhona lapho phakathi kwabo.
Kulwokubha bhanu bhabhili amo bhasatu bhakekofyanya amwi mwisina lyani, Anye ndi agati gati yebhwe.
21 UPetro wasemsondelela wathi: Nkosi, umfowethu uzangona kangaki, njalo ngimthethelela? Kuze kube kasikhombisa yini?
Nasubha Petro naja namubhwila Yesu ati, “Lata Bugenyi, ejiya ngendo elinga omuili wani akanyabhila koleleki nimusasile? Kukingila ngendo musanju?”
22 UJesu wathi kuye: Kangitsho kuwe ukuthi kuze kube kasikhombisa, kodwa kuze kube ngamatshumi ayisikhombisa aphindwe kasikhombisa.
Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Nitakubhwila ngendo musanju, nawe kwiya makumi musanju wi indilemo ngendo musanju.
23 Ngakho umbuso wamazulu ufananiswa lomuntu oyinkosi, owayethanda ukulandiselana lenceku zakhe.
Kulwa injuno eyo obhukama bhwa mulwire obhususana no Omukama umwi oyo aliga nenda okumenya obhukumi bhwa imali yaye okusoka ku bhagaya bhaye.
24 Kwathi eseqalile ukulandisa, kwalethwa kuye enye elomlandu kuyo wamathalenta azinkulungwane ezilitshumi.
Ejile amba okubhala obhukumi bhwa imali, nibhamuletela omugaya Unu aliga natongwa jitalanta bhiumbi ekumi.
25 Kodwa njengoba yayingelalutho lokuhlawula, inkosi yayo yalaya ukuthi ithengiswe, lomkayo labantwana bayo, lakho konke elakho, besekuhlawulwa.
Kulwokubha aliga atali na njila ya kuliya, lata bhugenyi waye nalamula bhamugushe omwene no omugasi waye na abhana na bhulichinu chinu aliga alinacho, koleleki aliye libhanja.
26 Ngakho inceku yawa phansi imkhothamela, yathi: Nkosi, ngibekezelela, futhi ngizakuhlawula konke.
Kulwejo omugaya oyo nagwa, nateja ebhiju imbele yae, naika ati, “Nuwikomeshe amwi nanye, enija okukuliya bhuli chinu chinu outonga.”
27 Inkosi yaleyonceku yasisiba lesihelo yayikhulula, yayixolela umlandu.
Kulwejo lata bhugenyi wo omugaya oyo, okwo aliga nasilwa ne echigongo, amusigile namusasila libhanja elyo.
28 Kodwa yaphuma leyonceku yathola omunye oyinceku kanye layo, olomlandu kuyo wabodenariyo abalikhulu, yambamba yamkhama, yathi: Ngihlawula okufaneleyo.
Nawe omugaya oyo agendele nabhugangana no umwi wa abhagaya bhejabho, oyo aliga natongwa egana limwi elya jidinari. Namukulula, namunyiga muchimilo, namubhwila ati, 'Nuundiye chinu enikutonga.'
29 Ngakho oyinceku kanye layo wawa phansi ezinyaweni zayo wayincenga, wathi: Ungibekezelele, futhi ngizakuhlawula konke.
Nawe omugaya oyo aguye namwililila muno, namusabhwa ati, 'Nuunfwile echigongo, enija okukuliya.'
30 Kodwa yona kayivumanga, kodwa yasuka yayiphosela entolongweni, ize iwuhlawule umlandu.
Nawe umugaya uliya owokwamba alemele. Atamusasiye, nagenda namulasa mulunyolo, kukingila ao amulipile chinu aliga namutonga.
31 Kwathi abayizinceku kanye layo bebona izinto ezazenzakele badabuka kakhulu; beza babikela inkosi yabo konke okwakwenzekile.
Mbe abhagaya bhejabho bhejile bhalola omusango ogwo, nabhabhilikila muno. Nibhamala nibhaja (nibhagenda) okubhwila lata bhugenyi webhwe bhuli chinu chinu bhalolele.
32 Inkosi yayo yasiyibizela kiyo yathi kiyo: Wena nceku embi, ngakuxolela wonke lowomlandu, ngoba wangincenga;
Mbe okwiya lata bhugenyi nabhilikila omugayagasi oyo, namubhwila ati, 'Omugaya omubhibhi awe, nakusasiye libhanja lyona linu nakutongaga kulwokubha weliliye muno.
33 ngabe lawe kawumhawukelanga yini omunye oyinceku kanye lawe, njengoba lami ngakuhawukela?
Mbe jitakakwiyile okumufwila chigongo omugaya wejanyu lwakutyo anye nakufwiliye chigongo?
34 Inkosi yayo yasithukuthela yayinikela kubahlukuluzi, ize ihlawule konke okufaneleyo kuyo.
Mbe lata bugenyi waye abhiiliywe namutula mumabhoko gabhanu abhanyasa abhanu kukingila ao akaliile libhanja lyona linu katongwa.
35 Uzakwenza njalo kini laye uBaba osezulwini, uba lingathetheleli lowo lalowo umfowenu iziphambeko zabo ngenhliziyo zenu.
Mbe nikwo kutyo Lata wani owa mulwire alibhakolela, labha umwi wemwe atasasiye omuili waye okusokelela mumyoyo jemwe.
