UMathewu 20
1 Ngoba umbuso wamazulu ufanana lomuntu ongumninindlu, owaphuma ekuseni kakhulu ukuqhatsha izisebenzi ziye esivinini sakhe;
Bwami bwa kwilu ngatubukoshanisha cisa. Muntu walanyamuka mumene mene kuya kulemba beshikusebensa mulibala lyakendi.
2 esevumelene lezisebenzi ngodenariyo ngosuku, wazithuma esivinini sakhe.
Balasuminishana kubafolesha lyali limo lya silifa lyelela kufoleshewa pa busuba, nekubatuma kulibala lyakendi.
3 Wasephuma sekungaba lihola lesithathu, wabona abanye bemi emdangeni bengenzi lutho;
Cindi ca muma 9 koloko walacana nabambi kabali bekala pamusena wa makwebo babula ncito.
4 lakulabo wathi: Yanini lani esivinini; njalo loba yini efaneleyo ngizalinika yona. Bahamba-ke.
Naboyo walabambileti, “Ne njamwe kamuyani kulibala lyakame lya maila, nindimufoleshe mwakwelana.”
5 Wabuya waphuma sekungaba lihola lesithupha langelesificamunwemunye, wenza njalo.
Naboyo balaya. Cindi ca munshi, kayi ne cindi camuma 3 koloko mansailo. Muntu usa walalemba basebenshi nabambi ne kubatuma kulibala lyakendi lya maila.
6 Kwathi sekungaba lihola letshumi lanye waphuma, wathola abanye bemi bengenzi lutho, wathi kubo: Limeleni lapha usuku lonke lingenzi lutho?
Kayi camuma 5 koloko mansailo, walacana bantu nabambi kabali bekala. Walabepusheti, “Mwekalilacani lisuba lyonse kwakubula ncito?”
7 Bathi kuye: Ngoba akulamuntu osiqhatshileyo. Wathi kubo: Yanini lani esivinini, njalo lizakwemukela loba kuyini okufaneleyo.
Balo balamukumbuleti, “Paliya muntu latwingishiko ncito sobwe.” Naboyo walabambileti, “Ne njamwe kamuyani ku libala lyakame.”
8 Kwathi sekuntambama umninisivini wathi enduneni yakhe: Biza izisebenzi, uzibhadale iholo, uqale ngezokucina kuze kube ngezokuqala.
Mansailo lisuba kaliya kwibila, mwine libala walambila Kapitawo wakendi, “Bakuwe basebenshi bonse, ubafoleshe. Utatikile abo balengili ncito mu ma 5 koloko, basa batanguna kwingila ncito beti bashalilile.”
9 Kuthe befika abaqhatshwa ngehola letshumi lanye ngulowo lalowo wemukela udenariyo.
Mpobalesa basa balengila ncito cindi ca 5 koloko mansailo uliyense walafola lyali limo lya silifa, lyelela kufeleshewa pa ncito ya busuba bumo.
10 Njalo sebezile abokuqala bacabanga ukuthi bazakwemukela okungaphezulu; kodwa labo bemukela udenariyo ngamunye.
Lino mpobalesa basa balatanguna, balo balayeyeti nibafole mali angi, nomba uliyense walafola lyali limo lyelela kufoleshewa pa ncito ya busuba bumo.
11 Kwathi beyemukela bamsola umninindlu,
Nomba nabo pakufola balatatika kutongaukila mwine libala,
12 besithi: Labo abokucina basebenze ihola elilodwa, kodwa ubalinganise lathi esithwele ubunzima bosuku lokutshisa.
balambeti, “Ha! Banetu balengili ncito lino lino, balasebensowa kwa ola limo, cilyeconi mulabafoleshe kwelana ne njafwe, kakuli afwe tulafu misana ne ncito, lumwi lulatupwili pamubili!”
13 Kodwa ephendula wathi komunye wabo: Mngane, angikoni; kanti kawuvumelananga lami ngodenariyo?
Nomba nendi mwine libala walamukumbuleti, “Obe ndo, ndiya kukwibilapo sobwe, sena ntetwalasuminishana lyali limo lya silifa pa busuba?
14 Thatha okwakho uhambe; ngiyathanda ukumnika lowokucina njengawe.
Manta lyali lyakobe, koya. Njame ndemwine ndayeye kwambeti mfoleshe beshikushalila mwakwelanika nenjobe.
15 Kumbe angivunyelwa yini ukwenza engikuthandayo ngezinto zami? Loba ilihlo lakho libi yini, ngoba mina ngilungile?
Sena nkandasunguluka mwangofu pabintu byakame kwinsa mbuli mondayandilinga? Sena ulepilwa pakwinga ndaina moyo pakutasalulula pakufolesha?”
16 Kunjalo-ke abokucina bazakuba ngabokuqala, labokuqala ngabokucina; ngoba banengi ababiziweyo, kodwa balutshwana abakhethiweyo.
Neco Yesu pakupwililisha walambeti, “Bakunyuma nibakabe kuntangu, kayi bakuntangu nibakabe kunyuma.”
17 Kwathi uJesu esesenyukela eJerusalema wathatha abalitshumi lambili bebodwa endleleni, wathi kubo:
Pacindi Yesu mpwalikuya ku Yelusalemu, walabatwala palubasu beshikwiya bakendi likumi ne babili, ne kubambileti,
18 Khangelani, senyukela eJerusalema, njalo iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa kubapristi abakhulu lakubabhali; besebeyilahlela ukufa,
“Ee, tuli pabulwendo bwakuya ku Yelusalemu, nomba kopeloko Mwa Muntu nakatwalwe kuba makulene beshimilumbo, ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose. Nibakamomboloshe ne kusuminishaneti afwe,
19 bayinikele kwabezizwe ukuze bayiyangise bayitshaye ngesiswepu bayibethele; njalo ngosuku lwesithathu izabuya ivuke.
kayi nibakamutwale kubantu bamishobo naimbi, beti bakamunyanshe, ne kumukwapula, ne kumupopa palusanda. Nomba pabusuba bwatutatu nendi nakapundushiwe kubafu.”
20 Kwasekusiza kuye unina wamadodana kaZebediya kanye lamadodana akhe, waguqa wacela ulutho kuye.
Muka Sebedayo ne bana bendi babili balesa kuli Yesu, walasuntama ne kumusengeti abenshileko kantu kalikonse nketi basenge.
21 Wasesithi kuye: Ufunani? Wathi kuye: Tshono ukuthi la amadodana ami amabili ahlale, enye ngakwesokunene sakho, lenye ngakwesokhohlo, embusweni wakho.
Yesu walamwipusheti, “Mulayandanga cani mama?” Uyu mutukashi walambeti, “Kamunshomeshesha kwambeti, banabame aba, umo akekale kucikasa cenu cakululyo, naumbi kucikasa cakucipiko mu Bwami bwenu.”
22 Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi: Kalikwazi elikucelayo. Linganatha yini inkezo engizayinatha mina, njalo libhabhathizwe ngobhabhathizo engibhabhathizwa ngalo mina? Bathi kuye: Singakwenza.
Nomba nendi Yesu walakumbuleti, “Nkamucinshi ncomulasengenga, Sena ngamucikonsha kunwina pamo mu nkomeshi yamapensho njoti nwinemo?” Bonse balambeti, “Ee, ngatucikonsha.”
23 Wasesithi kubo: Ngeqiniso lizayinatha inkezo yami, libhabhathizwe ngobhabhathizo mina engizabhabhathizwa ngalo; kodwa ukuhlala ngakwesokunene sami langakwesokhohlo sami, kayisikho okwami ukuphana ngakho, kodwa kungokwalabo abakulungiselweyo nguBaba.
Yesu walambeti, “Ee, nimukanwe munkomeshiyo, nomba ame ndiya ngofu shakusala uyo eti akekale kucikasa cakame cakululyo, nambi kucikasa cakucipiko, Bata endibo beti bakape misena ilico kubantu abo mbobabambila.”
24 Kwathi sebezwile abalitshumi, bathukuthela ngezelamani ezimbili.
Mpobalanyumfwako bali likumi basa, balakalalila basa babili pabukwabo.
25 Kodwa uJesu wababizela kuye wathi: Liyazi ukuthi ababusi bezizwe bayazibusa ngobulukhuni, lezikhulu zisebenzisa amandla phezu kwazo.
Yesu walabakuwa beshikwiya bakendi bonse ne kubambileti, “Mucinsheti bendeleshi ba bantu ba mishobo naimbi bakute kulyela masuku pamitwi ya bantu babo, ne kubonesha ngofu shabo pabantu.
26 Kodwa akuyikuba njalo phakathi kwenu; kodwa loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngomkhulu phakathi kwenu kabe yisisebenzi senu;
Nomba nkacelela kubeco pakati penu sobwe, pali njamwe uliyense layandanga kuba mukulene, abe musebenshi wenu.”
27 njalo loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu kabe yisisebenzi senu;
“Kayi uliyense layandanga kuba mutangunishi pakati penu, abe musha wenu.
28 njengalokhu iNdodana yomuntu kayizanga ukukhonzwa, kodwa ukukhonza, lokunika impilo yayo ibe lihlawulo labanengi.
Kamubani mbuli Mwana Muntu utasuni kusebenselwa, nsombi kusebensela bantu, ne kubenga buyumi bwakendi kulubula bantu bangi.”
29 Kwathi bephuma eJeriko, ixuku elikhulu lamlandela.
Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi mpobalikufuma mu munshi wa Yeliko, bantu bangi balikumukonkela.
30 Njalo khangela, iziphofu ezimbili zihlezi endleleni, sezizwile ukuthi uJesu uyadlula, zamemeza, zathi: Sihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavida!
Bantu babili bashipilwa balikuba bekala mumbali mwa nshila balanyumfweti Yesu lapitinga munshila, balatatika kubilikisha, “Nkambo omwanendi Dafeti, kamutunyumfwilako nkumbo.”
31 Ixuku laselizikhuza ukuthi zithule, kodwa zamemeza kakhulu, zisithi: Sihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavida!
Basa bantu balayanda kubamweneka mwakubacancilila, nsombi balo empobalapitilisha kolobesha, “Nkambo omwanendi Dafeti, kamutunyumfwilako nkumbo.”
32 UJesu wasesima wazibiza, wathi: Lifuna ukuthi ngilenzeleni?
Yesu walemana, walabakuwa, ne kubepusheti, “Inga mulayandanga ndimwinshile cani?”
33 Zathi kuye: Nkosi, ukuthi amehlo ethu avuleke.
Balo balakumbuleti, “Nkambo tulayandanga tutatike kubona.”
34 UJesu esesiba lesihelo wathinta amehlo azo; njalo amehlo azo ahle abuya abona, zasezimlandela.
Yesu walabanyumfwila luse, walabekata pamenso, popelapo balatatika kubona, naboyo balamukonkela.
