UMathewu 21
1 Kwathi-ke sebesondele eJerusalema, sebefikile eBetfage entabeni yeMihlwathi, khona uJesu wathuma abafundi ababili,
A Yeshu na bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakabhandishilanjeje ku Yelushalemu gubhaikengenenje ku Bhetipage tome na shitumbi sha Misheituni, gubhaatumilenjeje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili,
2 esithi kubo: Hambani liye emzaneni okhangelene lani, lizahle libone ubabhemi ekhulekiwe, lethole lilaye; libakhulule, libalethe kimi.
gubhaalugulilenje, “Nnjendangane kushijiji shili mmujo jenunji, kweneko shimung'imananje mbunda atabhilwe naka mwanagwe. Mwagopolanje nkajiye nabhonji.
3 Futhi uba umuntu ekhuluma ulutho kini, lizakuthi: INkosi iyabaswela; njalo uzahle abathumele.
Monaga mundu ammuyangaga shoshowe, munnugulilanje, ‘Bhakulungwa bhanakwaapinganga,’ nabhalabho shangupe shibhampanganje.”
4 Njalo konke lokhu kwenzeka, ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi, ukuthi:
Genega gashinkutendeka nkupinga gatimilile gegala galugwilwe na ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhalinkuti,
5 Tshelani indodakazi yeSiyoni ukuthi: Khangela, iNkosi yakho iyeza kuwe, imnene igade ubabhemi, lethole inkonyana yenyamazana yokuthwala.
“Mwaabhalanjilanje bhashilambo ku Shayuni, ‘Munnole, Mpalume jwenu anakwiya! Ashikwitimalika na ashikwela mbunda, Mwana jwa mbunda.’”
6 Abafundi bahamba-ke, benza njengalokhu uJesu wayebalayile,
Bhaajiganywa bhala gubhapitengene, nigubhatendilenje malinga shibhalugulilwenje na a Yeshu.
7 baletha ubabhemi lethole, babeka izembatho zabo phezu kwabo, bamhlalisa phezu kwazo.
Gubhanjiye nabhonji mbunda jula naka mwanagwe, gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji panani jabhonji na a Yeshu gubhakwelile nitama panani nngubho paka mwana mbunda.
8 Lenengi lexuku lendlala ezalo izembatho endleleni; labanye bagamula ingatsha zezihlahla, bazendlala endleleni.
Bhandu bhagumbelenje bhala gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji ina mumpanda, na bhandu bhananji gubhatemilenje maagala gubhatandikenje mumpanda.
9 Lamaxuku ayehamba phambili lababelandela bamemeza, besithi: Hosana kuyo iNdodana kaDavida! Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi. Hosana kweliphezulu!
Bhandu bhabhagwinji bhalinginji mmujo na bhalinginji nnyuma bhala, gubhautiyenje lilobhe bhalinkutinji, “Nnumbililwe Bhaulongo gwa a Daudi! Apegwe mboka jwene akwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa! Bhalumbililwe a Nnungu bhali Kunnungu!”
10 Esengenile eJerusalema umuzi wonke wanyakazela usithi: Ngubani lo?
A Yeshu bhakajinjileje ku Yelushalemu, shilambo showe gushigumbele nnjasha. Bhandunji gubhalinginji nkubhuya, “Jweneju gani?”
11 Amaxuku asesithi: Lo nguJesu umprofethi, oweNazaretha yeGalili.
Likundi lya bhandunji munkumbi mula gubhashitenje, “Bhenebha a nkulondola bha a Nnungu a Yeshu, kopoka ku Nashaleti shilambo sha Galilaya.”
12 UJesu wasengena ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, wabaxotsha bonke ababethengisa lababethenga ethempelini, wasegenqula amatafula ababentshintshelana imali, lezihlalo zalabo ababethengisa amajuba.
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhajinjile ku liekalu, gubhaabhinjilenje palanga bhandu bhaushangaga na uma indu ku liekalu, gubhapindikulenye mesha ya bhaatindiganya mmbiya bhala na itengu ya bhaushanga ngunda.
13 Wasesithi kubo: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yomkhuleko; kodwa lina liyenze ubhalu lwabaphangi.
Gubhaalugulilenje, “Ishijandikwa Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo, ‘Nyumba jangu shijishemwe nyumba ja nyujila nne.’ Ikabheje mmanganya nshikujitendanga lishembo lya bhaapokonyola indu.”
14 Kwasekufika kuye iziphofu leziqhuli ethempelini; wasezisilisa.
Ashinangalole na bhalemelenje gubhaajendelenje ku liekaluko, nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalamiyenje.
15 Kodwa abapristi abakhulu lababhali sebebonile izimangaliso azenzayo, labantwana bememeza ethempelini, besithi: Hosana eNdodaneni kaDavida! bathukuthela,
Bhai, bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhakaibhonanjeje ilapo ibhatendile a Yeshu, na bhana bhashoko pubhautiyangaga lilobhe ku liekalu bhalinkutinji, “Bhalumbililwe Bhaulongo gwa a Daudi,” gubhatumbelenje.
16 basebesithi kuye: Uyakuzwa lokhu yini abakutshoyo laba? UJesu wasesithi kubo: Yebo; alikaze lifunde yini ukuthi: Emlonyeni wezingane lowabamunyayo uphelelise indumiso?
Kwa nneyo gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhuli, nkapilikana ibhaabheleketanga?” A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Elo, ngulipilikana! Bhuli, nkanabhe shomanga Mmajandiko? ‘Kwa kang'wa ya bhana bhashoko na ashinambombe Shibhannumbililanje.’”
17 Wasebatshiya waphuma phandle komuzi esiya eBethani, walala khona.
Bhai, gubhaaleshilenje, gubhajabhwile pa shilambo pala gubhapite ku Bhetania, gubhagonile kweneko.
18 Kwathi ebuyela emzini ekuseni, walamba;
Lyambape a Yeshu bhalibhuja kwenda ku Yelushalemu, gubhakwete shibhanga.
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 g165)
Gubhagubhweni nkongo gumo gwa tini nnyenje mpanda, gubhaujendele, ikabheje bhangashibhona shindu ikabhe maambape. Bhai, gubhaulugulile nkongo gula, “Unaogoye kabhili iepo pitipiti!” Shangupe nkongo gwa tini gula ukunyalaga. (aiōn g165)
20 Kwathi bebona lokhu abafundi bakhe bamangala, besithi: Umkhiwa uhle wabuna njani?
Bhaajiganywa bhakaubhonanjeje bhashinkulapanga, gubhashitenje, “Kwa nndi agu nkongogu ushinyala shangupe?”
21 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uba lilokholo, lingathandabuzi, kaliyikwenza lokhu okomkhiwa kuphela, kodwa loba lisithi lakulintaba: Qutshunwa uphoselwe olwandle, kuzakwenzeka.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, monaga nkolangaga ngulupai gwangali lipamba, shinkombolanje tenda nngabha ga ntinipe, ikabheje nkali kushilugulila ashi shitumbishi, ‘Tutumbuka ukatumbushile mmashi,’ shiitendeshe.
22 Njalo konke loba kuyini elikucelayo emkhulekweni, likholwa, lizakwemukela.
Na nkolangaga ngulupai, shoshowe shishinnjuganje kwa a Nnungu, shimpegwanje.”
23 Kwathi esengenile ethempelini, abapristi abakhulu labadala babantu basondela kuye esafundisa, bathi: Izinto lezi uzenza ngaliphi igunya? Njalo ngubani okunike leligunya?
A Yeshu bhakajinjileje ku liekalu bhali nkujiganya, bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na bhanangulungwa bha bhandunji gubhaajendelenje nikwaabhuya, “Nnatenda genega kwa ukulungwa ukeni? Gani ampele jene amuliji?”
24 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Lami ngizalibuza umbuzo ube munye; uba lingitshela lokhu, lami ngizalitshela ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya:
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Na nne ngunakumuyanga, nnyangulangaga, bhai na nne shininnugulilanje ngunatenda genega kwa ukulungwa ukeni.
25 Ubhabhathizo lukaJohane lwavela ngaphi? Ezulwini kumbe ebantwini? Basebekhulumisana, besithi: Uba sisithi: Ezulwini, uzakuthi kithi: Pho kalikholwanga kuye ngani?
Bhuli, ubhatisho gwa a Yowana kugwakoposhele kwei? Bhuli, kugwakoposhele kwa a Nnungu eu ku bhandu?” Ikabheje gubhabheketelenje ashaayenenji, Tulugulaga, “Kugwakoposhele kwa a Nnungu,” shibhatubhuye, “Bhai, pakuti mwangakulupalilanga?”
26 Kodwa uba sisithi: Ebantwini, siyesaba ixuku; ngoba bonke bamphatha uJohane njengomprofethi.
Na tulugulaga, “Kugwakoposhele ku bhandu,” tunakwaajogopanga bhandunji pabha bhowe bhanakundanga kuti a Yowana ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
27 Basebemphendula uJesu bathi: Kasazi. Wasesithi kubo: Lami kangilitsheli ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya.
Bhai, gubhaajangwilenje, “Tukakumumanya!” Nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Numbe nne ngannugulilanga ngunatenda genega kwa ukulungwa gwashi.”
28 Kanti licabangani? Umuntu wayelamadodana amabili; waya kweyokuqala wathi: Mntanami, hamba, uyesebenza lamuhla esivinini sami.
“Mmanganya nkubhonanga bhuli? Bhandu bhamo bhashinkukola bhana bhabhili. Gubhannugulile jwankulu jula, ‘Mwanangu, lelo ukakamule liengo kunngunda gwa mishabhibhu.’
29 Kodwa yaphendula yathi: Angifuni. Kodwa emva kwalokho yaphenduka, yahamba.
Nshanda jula gwajangwile, ‘Ngajenda!’ Ikabheje gwaibhushiye, kungai gwapite kamula liengo.
30 Wasesiya kweyesibili watsho ngokunjalo. Yona-ke yaphendula yathi: Ngiyahamba, nkosi. Kodwa kayiyanga.
Ainamundu bhala gubhannugulile jwa nnung'una jula nneila peila, jwalakwe akwaajangulaga, ‘Atati shinyende!’ Ikabheje jwangajenda.
31 Yiyiphi kulawo amabili eyenza intando kayise? Bathi kuye: Eyokuqala. UJesu wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Abathelisi lezifebe bayangena embusweni kaNkulunkulu phambi kwenu.
Bhuli, bhene bhabhilibha jwei atendile ibhapinga Ainamundu?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Jwankulu jula.” Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, bhakamula koli na bha labhalabha shibhannongolelanje kujinjila Muupalume gwa a Nnungu.”
32 Ngoba uJohane wafika kini ngendlela yokulunga, kalikholwanga kuye; kodwa abathelisi lezifebe bakholwa kuye; kodwa lina selikubonile kaliphendukanga emva kwalokho ukuthi likholwe kuye.
Pabha a Yowana bhanng'ishilenje na kunnanguyanga mpanda gwa aki mwangaakulupalilanga, ikabheje bhakamula koli na bha labhalabha bhashinkwaakulupalilanga. Nkali nkagabhonanjeje gowego mmanganya mwangaipetanga nikwaakulupalila.
33 Zwanini omunye umfanekiso. Kwakukhona umuntu othile ongumninimuzi, owahlanyela isivini, wasibiyela ngothango, wagebha isikhamelo kuso, wakha umphotshongo, wasiqhatshisa kubalimi, waya kwelinye ilizwe.
A Yeshu gubhashite, mpilikananje lutango luna. Bhandu bhamo bhashinkulima nngunda gwa mishabhibhu, gubhatimbiliye lubhigo, gubhaolile liiko lya minyila divai, gubhashenjile na nyingo ja tama bhalinda. Kungai gubhaakolishiyenje bhaalima, gubhajabhwile kwenda shilambo sha talika.
34 Kwathi sekusondele isikhathi sezithelo, wathuma inceku zakhe kubalimi, ukuze zemukele izithelo zakhe.
Gakaisheje mobha ga maneng'eno, gubhaatumilenje bhatumishi bhabho ku bhaalimanga bhala, nkupinga bhakatolelanje ndalo.
35 Abalimi basebezibamba inceku zakhe, enye bayitshaya, lenye bayibulala, lenye bayikhanda ngamatshe.
Bhaalimanga bhala gubhaakamwilenje bhatumishi bhala, jumo gubhankomilenje na juna gubhammulegenje na juna gubhankomilenje maganga mpaka gwawile.
36 Wabuya wathuma ezinye inceku ezinengi kulezokuqala; basebesenza njalo kulezo.
Bhandu bhala gubhaatumilenje kabhili bhatumishi bhana, bhabhagwinji punda bhalongolelenje bhala. Bhaalimanga bhala gubhaatendelenje nneila peila malinga bhalongolelenje bhala.
37 Ekucineni wasethuma indodana yakhe kubo, esithi: Bazayihlonipha indodana yami.
Kumpelo gubhantumile mwanagwabho akuno bhaliganishiya, shibhannjogopanje pabha mwanangu.
38 Kodwa abalimi sebeyibonile indodana bakhulumisana besithi: Le yindlalifa; wozani, siyibulale, njalo sibambe ilifa layo.
Ikabheje bhaalimanga bhala bhakammonanjeje mwanagwabho gubhabheleketenje ashaayenenji, “Jweneju ni apinga lishi, tummulaje tutole ulishi gwakwe!”
39 Basebeyibamba bayiphosela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala.
Bhai, gubhankamwilenje, gubhampelekenje kunyenje nngunda gwa mishabhibhu gula, gubhammulegenje.
40 Ngakho mhla kufika umninisivini, uzabenzani abalimi labo?
“Lelo, bhayene nngunda gwa mishabhibhu pushibhaishepo, shibhaatendanje bhuli bhaalimangabho?”
41 Bathi kuye: Uzababhubhisa kakubi labo ababi, njalo uzaqhatshisa isivini kwabanye abalimi, abazamnika izithelo ngezikhathi zazo.
Gubhajangwilenje, “Shibhaabhulaganje bhaalimanga bhangali bha mbonenjibho, na nngunda gula shibhaapanganje bhaalimanga bhananji, shibhajiye kwaapanganga ndalo.”
42 UJesu wathi kubo: Alikaze lifunde yini emibhalweni ukuthi: Ilitshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo eseliyinhloko yengonsi; lokhu yikwenza kweNkosi; njalo kuyamangalisa emehlweni ethu?
Penepo a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhuli, nkanabheshomanga yenei Mmajandiko? ‘Liganga libhalikanilenje bhaashenga Nnaino lishibha liganga likulu lya pa ndumba. Bhakulungwa bhatendile lyeneli, Na kunngwetu uwe ni lya lapa!’
43 Ngakho ngithi kini: Lizakwemukwa umbuso kaNkulunkulu, unikwe isizwe esithela izithelo zawo.
“Kwa nneyo ngunakummalanjilanga, Upalume gwa a Nnungu upinga shoywa kungwenunji, bhapegwanje bhandunji bha ilambo ina, shibhakombolanje kutenda ibhapinga a Nnungu.”
44 Lalowo owela phezu kwalelilitshe uzaphahlazwa; kodwa loba ngubani eliwela phezu kwakhe lizamchoboza.
Na jwene shaagwile lyene ligangalyo, shatemekanje ipande, na jojowe shilinngwile lyene ligangalyo, shakandaganywe.
45 Kwathi abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi sebezwile imifanekiso yakhe bazi ukuthi ubekhuluma ngabo.
Bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na Mapalishayo bhakapilikananjeje ndango ya a Yeshu, gubhamumanyinji kuti bhanakwaabheleketanga.
46 Kwathi sebedinga ukumbamba besaba amaxuku, ngoba ayemphatha njengomprofethi.
Kwa nneyo gubhaloleyenje mwakwaakamulila, ikabheje bhatendaga kwaajogopanga bhandunji, pabha bhandunji bhamumanyinji kuti ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
