UMathewu 19
1 Kwasekusithi uJesu eseqedile lawomazwi, wasuka eGalili, weza emikhawulweni yeJudiya ngaphetsheya kweJordani.
Yesu pakamaliliti kutakula visoweru avi, kawuka Galilaya kagenda mumkowa gwa Yudeya, kumwambu kulushemba Yoridani.
2 Amaxuku amakhulu asemlandela, wasewasilisa lapho.
Wantu wavuwa wamgenderiti aku, na yomberi kawaponiziyiti walelwi.
3 Basebesiza kuye abaFarisi bemlinga, bathi kuye: Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthi indoda yale umkayo ngaso sonke isizatho?
Mafalisayu wamu wamwizira, wafiriti kumgomiziya pawamkosiya, “Hashi, Malagaliru getu gatulekeziya muntu kumleka mdala gwakuwi kwa likosa lyoseri?”
4 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Kalifundanga yini ukuthi owabadabula kusukela ekuqaleni wabenza owesilisa lowesifazana?
Yesu kawawankula, “Hashi, hamwebetuli Mumalembu Mananagala handa Mlungu pakanjiti kumuumba muntu mpalu na mdala?
5 Wasesithi: Ngenxa yalokhu indoda izatshiya uyise lonina, inamathele kumkayo; labo ababili bazakuba nyamanye.
Su Mlungu kalonga, ‘Toziya ayi hakamleki mawu na tati gwakuwi, hakagendi na mdala gwakuwi, woseri awili hawaweri yumu.’
6 Ngakho kabasebabili, kodwa sebenyamanye. Ngakho lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlanganisileyo kakungabi lamuntu okwehlukanisayo.
Su womberi hawaweri ndiri awili, kumbiti hawaweri yumu. Shakalemetiziyiti Mlungu, muntu nakashitula gweka.”
7 Bathi kuye: Pho uMozisi walayelani ukunika incwadi yesehlukaniso, lokumala?
Kumbiti Mafalisayu wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi, Musa katupanani Lilagaliru kwa muntu kumleka mdala gwakuwi kwa kumpanani malembu ga kumleka?”
8 Wathi kubo: Ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo zenu uMozisi walivumela ukwala omkenu; kodwa kusukela ekuqaleni kwakungenjalo.
Yesu kawankula, “Musa kalagaliriti kuwaleka wadala wenu toziya mwelewa ndiri pawawafundisha. Kumbiti iwera ndiri ntambu ayi mushipindi Mlungu pakaumbiti.
9 Kodwa ngithi kini: Loba ngubani owala umkakhe, ngaphandle kokufeba, abesethatha omunye, uyafeba; futhi othatha owaliweyo uyafeba.
Nukugambirani kuwera muntu yoseri yakamleka mdala gwakuwi kwantambu yoseri ilii kuliku kujimira kwakuwi, su katenda uhumba pakayuga mdala gwingi.”
10 Abafundi bathi kuye: Uba udaba lomuntu lomfazi lunjalo, akusizi ukuthatha.
Wafundwa wakuwi wamgambira, “Paviwera vitwatira vya mpalu na mdala vya ntambu ayi, mbaka kulikala pota kuyuga.”
11 Kodwa wathi kubo: Kakusibo bonke abangalemukela lelilizwi, ngaphandle kwabakunikiweyo.
Yesu kawankula, “Vitwatila avi viwawusu ndiri woseri yawaweza kuvijimira, kumbiti hera kwa woseri Mlungu yakawapanani wavimani.
12 Ngoba kukhona abathenwa, abazalwa benjalo kusukela esiswini sikanina; njalo kukhona abathenwa, abathenwa ngabantu; kukhona futhi abathenwa, abazithenileyo ngenxa yombuso wamazulu. Lowo ongakwemukela lokho kakwamukele.
Toziya kwana vintu vimonga vyavimtenda muntu kayugi ndiri, wamonga wayiwukiti ntambu ira ayi, na wamonga watendwa na wantu hapeni wayugi na wamonga walema kuyuga toziya ya Ufalumi wa kumpindi. Yoseri yakajimira mafundu aga, su kagajimili.”
13 Khona kwalethwa kuye abantwana abancane, ukuze abeke izandla zakhe phezu kwabo, akhuleke; kodwa abafundi babakhuza.
Wantu wamu wamjegeriti Yesu wana wadidini su kawakisikiri na kuwaluwira kwa Mlungu, kumbiti wafundwa wawakalipira.
14 Kodwa uJesu wathi: Vumelani abantwana abancane, lingabenqabeli ukuza kimi; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ungowabanje.
Yesu katakula, “Muwaleki wana wizi kwa neni, namuwalewelera toziya Ufalumi wa kumpindi ndo wa wantu gambira wana awa.”
15 Wasebeka izandla phezu kwabo, wasuka lapho.
Kawakisikira womberi, shakapanu kawuka palii.
16 Njalo khangela, kwasondela omunye wathi kuye: Mfundisi olungileyo, ngizakwenzani okulungileyo, ukuze ngibe lempilo elaphakade? (aiōnios g166)
Muntu yumu kamgendera Yesu kamkosiya, “mfunda, ntendi shintu gaa shiherepa su mpati ukomu wa mashaka goseri?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Wasesithi kuye: Ungibizelani ngokuthi olungileyo? Kakho olungileyo, ngaphandle koyedwa, uNkulunkulu. Kodwa uba uthanda ukungena ekuphileni, gcina imilayo.
Yesu kamwankula, “Iwera hashi gunkosiya kuusu shitwatila shiheri? Kwana yumu hera yakawera muheri. Pagufira kwingira muukomu wa mashaka goseri gugajimili malagaliru ga Mlungu.”
18 Wathi kuye: Yiyiphi? UJesu wasesithi: Ungabulali; ungafebi; ungebi; ungafakazi amanga;
Yomberi kakosiya, “Malagaliru goshi?” Yesu kamwankula, “Nagulaga, nagutenda uhumba, nagwiwa, nagutakula upitawu wa mpayu kwa muntu yoseri,
19 hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko; njalo, wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.
guwapanani ligoya tati gwaku na mawu gwaku, na guwafiri wantu wamonga ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
20 Ijaha lathi kuye: Konke lokhu ngikugcinile kusukela ebutsheni bami; ngisaswelani?
Muntemba ulii kamgambira, “Malagaliru goseri nugajimira, ntendi shishi shimonga?”
21 UJesu wathi kulo: Uba uthanda ukuphelela, hamba uthengise impahla zakho uphe abayanga, njalo uzakuba lempahla eligugu ezulwini; njalo uze lapha, ungilandele.
Yesu kamgambira yomberi, “Handa pagufira guweri muheri nakaka, gugendi gwakawuzi vintu vyaku vyoseri na guwapanani mpiya wahushu na gwenga haguweri mlunda kumpindi kwa Mlungu, shakapanu gwizi gunfati.”
22 Kodwa selizwile lelilizwi ijaha lasuka lidanile; ngoba lalilempahla ezinengi.
Muntemba ulii pakapikaniriti aga, kagenda zakuwi pakakalala toziya kaweriti kalunda nentu.
23 UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Onothileyo uzangena ngokulukhuni embusweni wamazulu.
Shakapanu Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Nakaka nukugambirani mwenga, hayiweri vikamala nentu kwa mlunda kwingira Muufalumi wa kumpindi.
24 Njalo futhi ngithi kini: Kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene ngentunja yenalithi, kulokuthi onothileyo angene embusweni wezulu.
Nakaka nuwagambirani, hayiweri vikamala kwa mlunda kwingira Muufalumi wa Mlungu kuliku shigongolu shawashishema ntembu kwingira mushitoboli sha sindanu.”
25 Sebezwile abafundi bakhe bamangala kakhulu, bathi: Pho kungasindiswa bani?
Wafundwa pawapikaniriti aga, walikangasha nentu. Su wamkosiya, “Hashi, ndo gaa yakaweza kulopoziwa?”
26 Kodwa uJesu wabakhangela wathi kubo: Kubantu kakulakwenzeka, kodwa kuNkulunkulu zonke izinto zingenzeka.
Yesu kawalola na kawankula, “Ashi shikamala nentu kwa wantu, kumbiti kwa Mlungu shila shintu shikamala ndiri.”
27 Khona uPetro waphendula wathi kuye: Khangela, thina sitshiye konke sakulandela; pho sizazuzani?
Shakapanu Peteru kalonga, “Guloli, twenga tuleka shila shintu na tukufata gwenga. Hashi, hatupati shishi?”
28 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lina elingilandeleyo, ekuvuselelweni lapho iNdodana yomuntu isihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi senkazimulo yayo, lani lizahlala ezihlalweni zobukhosi ezilitshumi lambili lahlulele izizwe ezilitshumi lambili zakoIsrayeli.
Yesu kawagambira, “Hamuweri na unakaka kuwera Mwana gwa Muntu pakalikala mushibanta sha shifalumi shikwisa muisi yasyayi, mwenga yamunfata neni, hamulivagi muvibanta vikwisa, kugakolamlima makabila lilongu na mbili ga Israeli.
29 Laye wonke otshiye izindlu, kumbe abafowabo, kumbe odadewabo, kumbe uyise, kumbe unina, kumbe umkakhe, kumbe abantwana, kumbe amasimu, ngenxa yebizo lami, uzakwemukela ngekhulu, adle ilifa lempilo elaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
Na yoseri yakalekiti numba ama mlongu ama mhasha ama tati ama mawu ama wana ama malambu toziya yaneni, hakapati mala miya nentu ya vilii yakavilekiti na hakalikali muukomu wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
30 Kodwa abanengi abokuqala bazakuba ngabokucina, labokucina ngabokuqala.
Kumbiti wantu wavuwa yawawera wa kwanja vinu hawaweri wa kupelera, na woseri yawawera wakupelera vinu hawaweri wa kwanja.
