UMathewu 22
1 UJesu wasephendula wabuya wakhuluma labo ngemifanekiso, wathi:
Jesu akataurazve kwavari nemifananidzo achiti,
2 Umbuso wamazulu ufananiswa lomuntu oyinkosi, owenzela indodana yakhe idili lomtshado;
“Umambo hwokudenga hwakafanana namambo akagadzirira mwanakomana wake mutambo wesvitsa.
3 wasethuma inceku zakhe ukuthi zibize abanxusiweyo emtshadweni, kodwa kabavumanga ukubuya.
Akatuma varanda vake kuna avo vainge vakakokwa kumutambo kuti vachiuya, asi vakaramba kuuya.
4 Wabuya wathuma ezinye inceku, esithi: Batsheleni abanxusiweyo ukuthi: Khangelani, sengilungisile ukudla kwami kwemini, inkabi zami lokunonileyo sekuhlatshiwe, izinto zonke sezilungile; wozani emtshadweni.
“Ipapo akatumazve vamwe varanda achiti, ‘Taurirai vose vakakokwa kuti ndagadzirira mabiko: Ndabaya nzombe nemombe dzakakodzwa uye zvose zvagadzirirwa. Uyai kumutambo wesvitsa.’
5 Kodwa kabananzanga, bazihambela, omunye ensimini yakhe, omunye ekuthengiselaneni kwakhe;
“Asi hapana akateerera uye vakaenda mumwe kumunda wake, mumwewo kune rimwe basa rake.
6 abaseleyo basebezibamba inceku zakhe baziphatha kubi bazibulala.
Vamwe vavo vakabata varanda vake vakavaitira zvakaipa uye vakavauraya.
7 Kodwa kwathi inkosi ikuzwa lokho yathukuthela, yathuma amabutho ayo yabhubhisa labobabulali, yatshisa umuzi wabo.
Mambo akatsamwa kwazvo. Akatuma hondo yake kundoparadza vaurayi vaya uye akapisa guta ravo.
8 Yasisithi encekwini zayo: Umtshado usulungile, kodwa abanxusiweyo bebengafanelanga.
“Ipapo akati kuvaranda vake, ‘Mutambo wesvitsa wagadzirirwa asi vaya vandakakoka vakanga vasingakodzeri kuti vauye.
9 Ngakho yanini emahlanganweni ezindlela, njalo bonke elingabathola, libabizele emtshadweni.
Endai kumharadzano dzenzira mundokoka kumutambo ani zvake wamuchawana.’
10 Lezonceku zaseziphuma zaya ezindleleni zabutha bonke ezabatholayo, ababi kanye labalungileyo; indlu yomtshado yasigcwala ngabahleziyo.
Saka varanda vakaenda mumigwagwa vakandokokorodza vose vavakagona kuwana, vose vakanaka nevakaipa, uye imba yesvitsa ikazara navakanga vakokwa.
11 Kwathi inkosi ingena ukukhangela ababehlezi ekudleni yabona khona umuntu owayengembathanga isembatho somtshado;
“Asi mambo akati apinda kuzoona vakanga vakokwa, akaona munhu imomo akanga asina nguo yesvitsa.
12 yasisithi kuye: Mngane, ungene njani lapha ungelasembatho somtshado? Kodwa yena waqunywa umlomo.
Akamubvunza akati, ‘Shamwari, wapinda seiko muno usina nguo yesvitsa?’ Munhu uya akashaya chokureva.
13 Inkosi yasisithi ezincekwini: Mbopheni inyawo lezandla, limsuse limphosele emnyameni ongaphandle; lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
“Ipapo mambo akaudza varanda vake akati, ‘Musungei maoko namakumbo mumukande panze, murima, umo muchava nokuchema nokurumanya kwameno.’
14 Ngoba banengi ababiziweyo, kodwa balutshwana abakhethiweyo.
“Nokuti vazhinji vakakokwa asi vakasarudzwa vashoma.”
15 Khona-ke abaFarisi basuka, bacebisana ngokuthi bangamthiya njani ekukhulumeni.
Ipapo vaFarisi vakabuda vakandoronga kuti vamubate namashoko ake.
16 Basebethuma kuye abafundi babo kanye labakaHerodi, besithi: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena uqotho, ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso, kawukhathaleli muntu, ngoba kawunanzi isimo sabantu.
Vakatuma vadzidzi vavo kwaari pamwe chete navaHerodhi. Vakati, “Mudzidzisi, tinoziva kuti muri munhu akarurama uye kuti munodzidzisa nzira yaMwari zviri maererano nechokwadi. Hamutsauswi navanhu nokuti hamutarisi kuti ndivanaani.
17 Ngakho sitshele, wena ucabangani? Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthela kuKesari, kumbe hatshi?
Tiudzei zvino kuti imi, munoti kudini? Zvakanaka here kutera mutero kuna Kesari kana kuti hazvina?”
18 Kodwa uJesu ebazi ububi babo wathi: Bazenzisi, lingilingelani?
Asi Jesu, achiziva kuipa kwavo, akati, “Imi vanyengeri munondiedzereiko?
19 Ngitshengisani imali yokuthela. Basebeletha kuye udenariyo.
Ndiratidzei mari inoshandiswa pakutera mutero.” Vakamuvigira dhenari
20 Wasesithi kubo: Ngokabani lumfanekiso lalumbhalo?
uye akavabvunza akati, “Ko, mufananidzo uyu ndowaani uye runyoro urwu ndorwaani?”
21 Bathi: NgokaKesari. Wasesithi kubo: Ngakho mnikeni uKesari izinto zikaKesari; loNkulunkulu izinto zikaNkulunkulu.
Vakapindura vakati, “NdezvaKesari.” Ipapo akati kwavari, “Ipai kuna Kesari zvaKesari, uye kuna Mwari zvaMwari.”
22 Kwathi sebezwile bamangala; bamtshiya bahamba.
Vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashamiswa. Saka vakamusiya vakaenda.
23 Ngalolosuku kweza kuye abaSadusi, abathi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, basebembuza,
Pazuva rimwe chetero vaSadhusi, avo vanoti hakuna kumuka kwavakafa, vakauya kwaari nomubvunzo.
24 besithi: Mfundisi, uMozisi wathi: Uba umuntu esifa engelabantwana, umfowabo uzamthatha umkakhe, amvusele umfowabo inzalo.
Vakati, “Mudzidzisi, Mozisi akatiudza kuti murume akafa asina vana mununʼuna wake anofanira kuwana chirikadzi agomuberekera vana.
25 Kwakukhona phakathi kwethu izelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala wasethatha umfazi wafa; futhi engelanzalo, watshiya umkakhe kumfowabo.
Zvino pakati pedu paiva navanakomana vomunhu mumwe vanomwe. Wokutanga akawana mukadzi ndokubva iye afa, uye sezvo akanga asina vana, akasiyira mununʼuna wake mukadzi.
26 Kwaba njalo lowesibili, lowesithathu, kwaze kwaba kowesikhombisa.
Zvimwe chetezvo zvakaitika kuno wechipiri nowechitatu kusvikira kuno wechinomwe.
27 Kwathi emva kwabo bonke kwafa lomfazi.
Pakupedzisira mukadzi akazofawo.
28 Ngakho ekuvukeni kwabafileyo, uzakuba ngumkabani kwabayisikhombisa? Ngoba bonke babelaye.
Zvino pakumuka kwavakafa, achava mukadzi waaniko pavanomwe vaya sezvo vose vaiva varume vake?”
29 Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Liduhile, lingayazi imibhalo, loba amandla kaNkulunkulu;
Jesu akavapindura akati, “Ndipo pamunorasika ipapo nokuti hamuzivi Magwaro kana simba raMwari.
30 ngoba ekuvukeni kwabafileyo kabathathani, kabendiswa, kodwa banjengengilosi zikaNkulunkulu ezulwini.
Pakumuka kwavakafa vanhu havawani kana kuwanikwa, vachange vakaita savatumwa kudenga.
31 Kodwa mayelana lokuvuka kwabafileyo, kalifundanga yini okwakhulunywa kini nguNkulunkulu, esithi:
Asi pane zvokumuka kwavakafa, hamuna kuverenga here zvakarehwa naMwari kwamuri, achiti,
32 Mina nginguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe? UNkulunkulu kayisuye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa owabaphilayo.
‘Ndini Mwari waAbhurahama naMwari waIsaka naMwari waJakobho’? Haasi Mwari wavakafa asi wavapenyu.”
33 Kwathi amaxuku ekuzwa amangala kakhulu ngokufundisa kwakhe.
Vanhu vazhinji vakati vanzwa izvi, vakashamiswa nokudzidzisa kwake.
34 Kwathi abaFarisi, sebezwile ukuthi uJesu ubaqume umlomo abaSadusi, babuthana ndawonye.
Vanzwa kuti Jesu akanga akunda vaSadhusi, vaFarisi vakaungana pamwe chete.
35 Lomunye wabo, isazumthetho, wambuza, emlinga, esithi:
Mumwe wavo aiva nyanzvi pane zvemirayiro akamuedza nomubvunzo achiti,
36 Mfundisi, yiwuphi umlayo omkhulu emthethweni?
“Mudzidzisi, ndoupi murayiro mukuru muMurayiro?”
37 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, langomphefumulo wakho wonke, langengqondo yakho yonke;
Jesu akapindura akati, “‘Ida Ishe Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose, nomweya wako wose nokufunga kwako kwose.’
38 yiwo lowo umlayo owokuqala lomkhulu.
Uyu ndiwo murayiro mukuru uye wokutanga.
39 Lowesibili ufanana lawo uthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.
Wechipiri wakafanana nawo unoti, ‘Ida muvakidzani wako sokuda kwaunozviita iwe.’
40 Kuleyomilayo emibili kweyeme umthetho wonke labaprofethi.
Murayiro wose naVaprofita zvakabatanidzwa pamirayiro iyi miviri.”
41 Kwathi sebebuthene abaFarisi, uJesu wababuza,
VaFarisi pavakanga vachakaungana pamwe chete, Jesu akavabvunza akati,
42 esithi: Licabangani ngoKristu? Uyindodana kabani? Bathi kuye: NgekaDavida.
“Munofungei nezvaKristu? Mwana waani?” Vakapindura vachiti, “Mwanakomana waDhavhidhi.”
43 Wathi kubo: Pho uDavida wambiza njani ekuMoya ngokuthi yiNkosi, esithi:
Akati kwavari, “Ko, zvino sei Dhavhidhi achitaura noMweya akamuti, ‘Ishe’? Nokuti anoti,
44 INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho?
“‘Ishe akati kuna Ishe wangu: Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi, kusvikira ndaisa vavengi vako pasi petsoka dzako.’
45 Ngakho uba uDavida embiza ngokuthi yiNkosi, uyiNdodana yakhe njani?
Zvino kana Dhavhidhi achimuti, ‘Ishe’ angagova mwanakomana wake sei?”
46 Njalo kwakungekho owayengamphendula ilizwi; kusukela ngalolosuku kakwabe kusaba khona umuntu olesibindi sokumbuza.
Hapana akagona kutaura shoko rimwe, uye kubva pazuva iroro zvichienda mberi hapana akazoshinga kumubvunza mimwezve mibvunzo.
