< UMathewu 21 >
1 Kwathi-ke sebesondele eJerusalema, sebefikile eBetfage entabeni yeMihlwathi, khona uJesu wathuma abafundi ababili,
Jerusalemi kumara emeri atupa hu'za Betfage kumate ehanati'za, Olivi agonare emanine'za, Jisasi'a amage nentaza disaipol nagapinti tare'mokizni huznanteno,
2 esithi kubo: Hambani liye emzaneni okhangelene lani, lizahle libone ubabhemi ekhulekiwe, lethole lilaye; libakhulule, libalethe kimi.
anage huno zanasmi'ne, Vutna antu kumate ome kesakeno, a' donki afura, anenta'ane kina rentenenigeno mani'neankitna ome kegaha'e. Kina katufetna zanavreta Nagrite e'o.
3 Futhi uba umuntu ekhuluma ulutho kini, lizakuthi: INkosi iyabaswela; njalo uzahle abathumele.
Avareta ne-esnakeno mago'moma kema hina, eri'za me'negeno Ramo'a hurantegeta enevro'e hutna hi'o. Anagema hanakeno'a, ko avretna vi'o hugahie.
4 Njalo konke lokhu kwenzeka, ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi, ukuthi:
Amazama fore hu'neana korapa avontafepi kasnampa vahe'mo hunte'nea, kemo eama hu'ne.
5 Tshelani indodakazi yeSiyoni ukuthi: Khangela, iNkosi yakho iyeza kuwe, imnene igade ubabhemi, lethole inkonyana yenyamazana yokuthwala.
Saioni mofara anage hunka asmio, ko, kagri kinimo kagritega ne-eanki, avufa anteramino, donki agumpi manino, ve agaho donkifi, ne-e. (Zek 9:9.)
6 Abafundi bahamba-ke, benza njengalokhu uJesu wayebalayile,
Amage nenta'za disaipol nagapinti vu'namoke Jisasima kema huzanante'neaza hu'na'e.
7 baletha ubabhemi lethole, babeka izembatho zabo phezu kwabo, bamhlalisa phezu kwazo.
Ana a' donkine, anenta'ane znavre'ne eke anakre kuzni'a zafike ana donki agumpi vasi'nakeno, Jisasi'a ana agofetu mrerino mani'ne.
8 Lenengi lexuku lendlala ezalo izembatho endleleni; labanye bagamula ingatsha zezihlahla, bazendlala endleleni.
Manino nevige'za rama'a veamo'za nakre ku'zami zafiza kante vasi'za nevzage'za, mago'amo'za zafa azankuna akafri'za kampi vasinageno anante vu'ne.
9 Lamaxuku ayehamba phambili lababelandela bamemeza, besithi: Hosana kuyo iNdodana kaDavida! Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi. Hosana kweliphezulu!
Rama'a vahe kote'za Agri avuga vu'naza vahe'zagane, henkama aza vahe'mo'za tusi muse nehu'za kezati'za, muse huntesune Deviti ne'mofavrea, agrira asomu hunto ramofo agifi ne-emofona, muse huta agi'a erintesga hunagamu atresune.
10 Esengenile eJerusalema umuzi wonke wanyakazela usithi: Ngubani lo?
Ana nehazageno Jisasi'ma, Jerusalemi kuma agu'afi uhanatige'za mika veamo'za antri nehu'za muse hu'za, ama nera iza'e?
11 Amaxuku asesithi: Lo nguJesu umprofethi, oweNazaretha yeGalili.
Nehu'za ana vahe kevumo'za hu'za, ama'i kasnampa ne' Jisasi'e, Nasareti kumateti, Galili kazigati e'nea nere hu'naze.
12 UJesu wasengena ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, wabaxotsha bonke ababethengisa lababethenga ethempelini, wasegenqula amatafula ababentshintshelana imali, lezihlalo zalabo ababethengisa amajuba.
Jisasi'a mono nomofo agu'afi ufreno maka zagore netre'za miza neseza nehaza vahe'zaga zamahe anatige'za fegi'a atirami'naze. Hagi zago rezahe nehaza vahe sipa eri herafi netreno, mizante maho nama zaga ante'naza vahe tra'zmi eri rukrahe hutre'ne.
13 Wasesithi kubo: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yomkhuleko; kodwa lina liyenze ubhalu lwabaphangi.
Jisasi'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Anumzamofo avontafepima kre'nazana, nagri nona Anumzamofonte nunamu hunte no megahie hu'ne. Hianagi tamagra kumzafa vahe frakiza manisnaza kuma retro nehaze. (Ais 56:7.)
14 Kwasekufika kuye iziphofu leziqhuli ethempelini; wasezisilisa.
Ana hige'za zmuraga asu hu'nea vahe'ene, zmaga haviza hu'nea vahe'mo'za Agrite ra mono nompi ageno zamazeri so'e huzmante'ne.
15 Kodwa abapristi abakhulu lababhali sebebonile izimangaliso azenzayo, labantwana bememeza ethempelini, besithi: Hosana eNdodaneni kaDavida! bathukuthela,
Hianagi pristi vahe'ene kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'mo'za Jisasi'ma kaguvaza hiaza negazageno, mofavre ramimo'za ranke hu'za, Deviti Nemofo muse huntone hazazamo zamarimpa hege'za, Jisasinku anage hu'naze,
16 basebesithi kuye: Uyakuzwa lokhu yini abakutshoyo laba? UJesu wasesithi kubo: Yebo; alikaze lifunde yini ukuthi: Emlonyeni wezingane lowabamunyayo uphelelise indumiso?
Amama mofavre ramimo'zama nehaza kea nentahino? Hazageno Jisasi'a anage hu'ne, Ozo, tamagra mono avontafera hampritma onke'nazo, osi mofavrene, aminte mofavremokizmi zamagipi, kagri rankagi kami'zana retro hunte'nane. (Sam-Zga 8:2.)
17 Wasebatshiya waphuma phandle komuzi esiya eBethani, walala khona.
Jisasi'a anage huteno Jerusalemi rankumara atreno Betani kumate vuno, anante umase'ne.
18 Kwathi ebuyela emzini ekuseni, walamba;
Jisasi'a nanterana otino ete Jerusalemi rankumatega vunaku nevuno aga'zanku hu'ne.
19 kwathi ebona umkhiwa othile endleleni, wasondela kuwo, kodwa katholanga lutho kuwo ngaphandle kwamahlamvu wodwa; wathi kuwo: Kakungabe kusavela isithelo kuwe lanini. Njalo umkhiwa wahle wabuna. (aiōn )
Keana kama vutega magoke fiki zafa oti'negeno, Agra ana zafa tava'onte eno eme keana magore huno nena'a omneno ani'namoke hu'negeno, Agra ana zafagu huno, (aiōn )
20 Kwathi bebona lokhu abafundi bakhe bamangala, besithi: Umkhiwa uhle wabuna njani?
Mago'enena kagripina raga fore osugahie. Ana zafamo'a osapategeno amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za nege'za zmanogu nehu'za antahige'naze. Nankna huno ama fiki zafamo'a ame huno osaparare?
21 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uba lilokholo, lingathandabuzi, kaliyikwenza lokhu okomkhiwa kuphela, kodwa loba lisithi lakulintaba: Qutshunwa uphoselwe olwandle, kuzakwenzeka.
Hu'za hazageno, Jisasi'a anage huno kenona zamirera hu'ne, Tamage hu'na neramasmue, tamentinti nehutma tare tagufa tamagesa ontahisnutma, tamagra fiki zafa huntoa kna'zana ageteretma amne hazasine. Hianagi ama'na agonagu hutma, otinka hage rimpi tka'uro hanageno'a amne ana hugahie.
22 Njalo konke loba kuyini elikucelayo emkhulekweni, likholwa, lizakwemukela.
Hanki nazankuro kamentinti hunka, nunamu hunka antahigesanana, amne erigahane.
23 Kwathi esengenile ethempelini, abapristi abakhulu labadala babantu basondela kuye esafundisa, bathi: Izinto lezi uzenza ngaliphi igunya? Njalo ngubani okunike leligunya?
Jisasi'a ra mono nomofo kumate marerino rempi hu'nezmige'za, pristi vahemo'zane, Jiu kva vahe'mo'za Jisasinte e'za amanage hu'za antahige'naze, Ina hihamure ama eri'zana Kagra e'nerine, Aza ana hihamua Kagrira kami'ne?
24 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Lami ngizalibuza umbuzo ube munye; uba lingitshela lokhu, lami ngizalitshela ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya:
Jisasi'a zamagri kenona huno, Nagra anazanke hu'na mago zanku tmantahigegahue, anazama Nagri'ma nasmisage'na, Nagra ina hihamufi ana eri'zana e'nerufi anazanke hu'na tmasmigahue.
25 Ubhabhathizo lukaJohane lwavela ngaphi? Ezulwini kumbe ebantwini? Basebekhulumisana, besithi: Uba sisithi: Ezulwini, uzakuthi kithi: Pho kalikholwanga kuye ngani?
Joni'ma mono tima frezmante'neana, iza'e agafa'a, monafintipi vahe'mo'za huntageno eri'ne? Hige'za ana vahe'mo'za nanekea nentahi'za agafa'agu naneke ohumi ahumi hu'za, tagrama huta, monafintire hanunkeno'a, Agra tagriku anage hugahie, hanki nahigetma agritera tamentintina nosaze? Huno hugahie.
26 Kodwa uba sisithi: Ebantwini, siyesaba ixuku; ngoba bonke bamphatha uJohane njengomprofethi.
Hianagi tagrama hutma, vahe'mo'za huntageno eri'ne hanunke'za, vahe'mo'za tahegahaze hu'za koro hu'naze. Na'ankure maka vahe'mo'za Joninkura kasnampa nere nehaze.
27 Basebemphendula uJesu bathi: Kasazi. Wasesithi kubo: Lami kangilitsheli ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya.
Nehu'za Jisasina ke nona'a hunte'za, Tagra ontahi'none hazageno, Agra anazanke huno zamasmi'ne, Nagranena igati eri'noa hihamufi eri'zana eneruo ontamasmigahue.
28 Kanti licabangani? Umuntu wayelamadodana amabili; waya kweyokuqala wathi: Mntanami, hamba, uyesebenza lamuhla esivinini sami.
Hianagi tamagra na'ane tamagesa nentahize? Mago ne'mo'a tare ne'mofavre zanante'ne. Pusa ne'te viazamo anage hu'ne, mofavre'nimoka menina vunka waini hozafi eri'za omerio hu'ne.
29 Kodwa yaphendula yathi: Angifuni. Kodwa emva kwalokho yaphenduka, yahamba.
Ana mofavremo'a ke nona hunteno, Nagra ovugahue hutenoagi, henka agu'a zahe huno vu'ne.
30 Wasesiya kweyesibili watsho ngokunjalo. Yona-ke yaphendula yathi: Ngiyahamba, nkosi. Kodwa kayiyanga.
Neznafa'a henka'mofonte viazamo anahu ke huno ome antahige'ne. Ana mofavremo ke nona huno, nagra ana hugahue hutenoagi, ovu'ne.
31 Yiyiphi kulawo amabili eyenza intando kayise? Bathi kuye: Eyokuqala. UJesu wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Abathelisi lezifebe bayangena embusweni kaNkulunkulu phambi kwenu.
Taremokiznifintira inamo nefa avesizana avaririne? Zamagra hu'za Pusante'mo'e, hazageno Jisasi anage huno, Nagra tamage hu'na neramasmue, takesi zagoma vahepinti zonegiza vahe'ene, monkote'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za tamagrira tamagatere'za Anumzamofo kumapina vugahaze.
32 Ngoba uJohane wafika kini ngendlela yokulunga, kalikholwanga kuye; kodwa abathelisi lezifebe bakholwa kuye; kodwa lina selikubonile kaliphendukanga emva kwalokho ukuthi likholwe kuye.
Na'ankure Jonima tmagritega e'neana fatgo avu'ava huramerinaku e'negetma, tamagra agritera tamentinti osu'naze. Hianagi vahepinti takesi zagoma zogi vahe'mo'zane, monko vahe'mo'za agritera zamentinti hu'naze. Hagi tamagra ana zana negetmagi, tamagu'a rukrahe hutma tamentinti huonte'naze.
33 Zwanini omunye umfanekiso. Kwakukhona umuntu othile ongumninimuzi, owahlanyela isivini, wasibiyela ngothango, wagebha isikhamelo kuso, wakha umphotshongo, wasiqhatshisa kubalimi, waya kwelinye ilizwe.
Mago fronka kea antahiho. Mago mopa agafa ne'mo'a waini hoza kri'ne. Ana hoza kegina huno wainima tatisia keria asenteteno, hagi mani'neno kvahu nona kintene. Zoka mani'neno ikante zago mizaseterehu (rent) vahete hoza'a netreno afete ka vu'ne.
34 Kwathi sekusondele isikhathi sezithelo, wathuma inceku zakhe kubalimi, ukuze zemukele izithelo zakhe.
Hozama anarere knama egoftama higeno'a, kazokzo eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za, agri'ma refako hu'za amisnazama'a erisnagu kegava hu'ne'za ikante mizama (rent) nezamiza nagate e'naze.
35 Abalimi basebezibamba inceku zakhe, enye bayitshaya, lenye bayibulala, lenye bayikhanda ngamatshe.
Ana hianagi, anama kegavama hu'naza naga'mo'za zmarotago hu'za, magora knonkeve nemi'za, magora ahe nefri'za, magora have kanonu ahe'naze.
36 Wabuya wathuma ezinye inceku ezinengi kulezokuqala; basebesenza njalo kulezo.
Mago'ane kazokzo eri'za vahera pusante'ma huzmante'neama'a agatereno hakare huzmantege'za vazage'za, anazanke huzmante'naze.
37 Ekucineni wasethuma indodana yakhe kubo, esithi: Bazayihlonipha indodana yami.
Henkarfana, ne' mofavreni'a agazone humigahaze nehuno mofavre'a huntegeno vu'ne.
38 Kodwa abalimi sebeyibonile indodana bakhulumisana besithi: Le yindlalifa; wozani, siyibulale, njalo sibambe ilifa layo.
Hianagi ana hoza ikante kva hu'ne'za miza nesaza vahe'mo'za, kageno nemofo'ma ege'za, ama fenoma erisia mofavre ama eanki erinketa ahenefrita ana fenona erigahune.
39 Basebeyibamba bayiphosela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala.
Anage hute'za, ana waini hozafinti avazuhu fegu atre'za ahe fri'naze.
40 Ngakho mhla kufika umninisivini, uzabenzani abalimi labo?
Hagi anantema waini hozamofo nafa'amo'ma esuno'a, hozama kegavama hu'naza vahera, na'a huzmantegahie?
41 Bathi kuye: Uzababhubhisa kakubi labo ababi, njalo uzaqhatshisa isivini kwabanye abalimi, abazamnika izithelo ngezikhathi zazo.
Agrira anage hu'za asmi'naze, Agra havi avu'ava hanaza vahera zamazeri havizahutfa hugahie. Huteno ana waini hoza zamazampinti hanare'mreno, hoza kegava hu'ne'za hoza anerere knare, agrama erigahue hu'nesiama'ama amisaza vahe zamigahie hu'naze.
42 UJesu wathi kubo: Alikaze lifunde yini emibhalweni ukuthi: Ilitshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo eseliyinhloko yengonsi; lokhu yikwenza kweNkosi; njalo kuyamangalisa emehlweni ethu?
Jisasi'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Anumzamofo avontafepina tamagra hampritma nonkazo? Nogi vahe'mo'za knare osu'ne hu'za eritre'naza havemo'a, nomofo renagentete asente'nageno azeri hanaveti have menina fore nehie. Ama'i Anumzamo tro hu'neankino, tvurera so'e zantfa fore nehie. (Psa-Zga 118:22-23)
43 Ngakho ngithi kini: Lizakwemukwa umbuso kaNkulunkulu, unikwe isizwe esithela izithelo zawo.
Ama ana agafare, Nagra kea tamagrira tamasmina, Anumzamofo kumara tamagripintira hanareno, iza'zo Anumzamofo kuma'mofo nena rgama renentesnamokizmi zamigahie.
44 Lalowo owela phezu kwalelilitshe uzaphahlazwa; kodwa loba ngubani eliwela phezu kwakhe lizamchoboza.
Hagi mago'mo'ma amana havere'ma asaga hurmisimo'a, korino rupanini hugahie. Hianagi ana havemo'ma inamofo agofeturo asagahu ramisimo'a fuzafupeno kugupa segahie.
45 Kwathi abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi sebezwile imifanekiso yakhe bazi ukuthi ubekhuluma ngabo.
Hige'za ugagota pristi vahe'mo'zane, Farisi vahe'mo'za ana fronka kema hia nentahi'za, zamagra antahi'zazmifina, tagriku nehie hu'za hu'naze.
46 Kwathi sebedinga ukumbamba besaba amaxuku, ngoba ayemphatha njengomprofethi.
Jisasina azerisaza kanku hakre'nazanagi, zamagra tusi'a vahe kevugu kore hu'naze. Na'ankure ana vahe kevumo'za, Agrikura kasnampa nere hu'za nehaza zankure.
