UMathewu 22
1 UJesu wasephendula wabuya wakhuluma labo ngemifanekiso, wathi:
Zvino Jesu wakapindura akataurazve kwavari nemifananidzo, achiti:
2 Umbuso wamazulu ufananiswa lomuntu oyinkosi, owenzela indodana yakhe idili lomtshado;
Ushe hwekumatenga hwakafananidzwa neumwe mambo, wakaitira mwanakomana wake mutambo wemuchato;
3 wasethuma inceku zakhe ukuthi zibize abanxusiweyo emtshadweni, kodwa kabavumanga ukubuya.
akatuma varanda vake kunodana vakange vakokwa kumuchato, asi havana kuda kuuya.
4 Wabuya wathuma ezinye inceku, esithi: Batsheleni abanxusiweyo ukuthi: Khangelani, sengilungisile ukudla kwami kwemini, inkabi zami lokunonileyo sekuhlatshiwe, izinto zonke sezilungile; wozani emtshadweni.
Akatuma zvekare vamwe varanda, achiti: Udzai vakakokerwa muti: Tarirai, ndagadzira chisvusvuro changu, nzombe dzangu nezvakakora zvabaiwa, uye zvinhu zvese zvagadzirwa; uyai kumuchato.
5 Kodwa kabananzanga, bazihambela, omunye ensimini yakhe, omunye ekuthengiselaneni kwakhe;
Asi havana kuzvikoshesa, vakaenda, umwe kumunda wake pachake, umwe kukutengeserana kwake;
6 abaseleyo basebezibamba inceku zakhe baziphatha kubi bazibulala.
vakasara vavo vakabata varanda vake, vakavaitira zvakaipa, vakavauraya.
7 Kodwa kwathi inkosi ikuzwa lokho yathukuthela, yathuma amabutho ayo yabhubhisa labobabulali, yatshisa umuzi wabo.
Zvino mambo wakati azvinzwa, wakatsamwa, akatuma hondo dzake, akaparadza mhondi idzo, akapisa guta ravo.
8 Yasisithi encekwini zayo: Umtshado usulungile, kodwa abanxusiweyo bebengafanelanga.
Zvino akati kuvaranda vake: Muchato wagadzirwa, asi vakange vakokwa vakange vasina kufanira.
9 Ngakho yanini emahlanganweni ezindlela, njalo bonke elingabathola, libabizele emtshadweni.
Naizvozvo, endai kumharadzano dzenzira, mukokere kumuchato vese vamunowana.
10 Lezonceku zaseziphuma zaya ezindleleni zabutha bonke ezabatholayo, ababi kanye labalungileyo; indlu yomtshado yasigcwala ngabahleziyo.
Varanda avo vakabudira kunzira, vakaunganidza vese nekuwanda kwevavakawana, zvese vakaipa nevakanaka; imba yemuchato ikazara nevagere pakudya.
11 Kwathi inkosi ingena ukukhangela ababehlezi ekudleni yabona khona umuntu owayengembathanga isembatho somtshado;
Zvino mambo wakati achipinda kuzoona vagere pakudya, akaona ipapo munhu asina kupfeka chipfeko chemuchato;
12 yasisithi kuye: Mngane, ungene njani lapha ungelasembatho somtshado? Kodwa yena waqunywa umlomo.
akati kwaari: Shamwari, wapinda sei pano usina chipfeko chemuchato? Akashaya remuromo.
13 Inkosi yasisithi ezincekwini: Mbopheni inyawo lezandla, limsuse limphosele emnyameni ongaphandle; lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
Zvino mambo akati kuvaranda: Musungei makumbo nemaoko, mumubvise, mukandire kurima rekunze kwekupedzisira; apo pachava nekuchema nekugeda-geda kwemeno.
14 Ngoba banengi ababiziweyo, kodwa balutshwana abakhethiweyo.
Nokuti vazhinji vakadanwa, asi vashoma vanosanangurwa.
15 Khona-ke abaFarisi basuka, bacebisana ngokuthi bangamthiya njani ekukhulumeni.
Zvino VaFarisi vakaenda vakanorangana kuti vangamuteya sei pakutaura.
16 Basebethuma kuye abafundi babo kanye labakaHerodi, besithi: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena uqotho, ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso, kawukhathaleli muntu, ngoba kawunanzi isimo sabantu.
Vakatuma kwaari vadzidzi vavo vane VaHerodhe, vachiti: Mudzidzisi, tinoziva kuti ndimwi wechokwadi, uye munodzidzisa nzira yaMwari muchokwadi, musingarangariri zvemunhu, nokuti hamutariri chimiro chevanhu.
17 Ngakho sitshele, wena ucabangani? Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthela kuKesari, kumbe hatshi?
Naizvozvo tiudzei: Munofungei? Zvinotenderwa kupa Kesari mutero here, kana kwete?
18 Kodwa uJesu ebazi ububi babo wathi: Bazenzisi, lingilingelani?
Asi Jesu wakaziva kuipa kwavo, akati: Munondiidzirei, vanyepedzeri?
19 Ngitshengisani imali yokuthela. Basebeletha kuye udenariyo.
Ndiratidzei mari yemutero. Vakamuvigira dhenario.
20 Wasesithi kubo: Ngokabani lumfanekiso lalumbhalo?
Zvino akati kwavari: Mufananidzo uyu nechinyorwa ndezvani?
21 Bathi: NgokaKesari. Wasesithi kubo: Ngakho mnikeni uKesari izinto zikaKesari; loNkulunkulu izinto zikaNkulunkulu.
Vakati kwaari: ZvaKesari. Ipapo akati kwavari: Naizvozvo dzorerai kuna Kesari zvinhu zvaKesari, nekuna Mwari zvinhu zvaMwari.
22 Kwathi sebezwile bamangala; bamtshiya bahamba.
Vakati vanzwa vakashamisika, vakamusiya, vakaenda.
23 Ngalolosuku kweza kuye abaSadusi, abathi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, basebembuza,
Nezuva iro kwakauya kwaari VaSadhusi, avo vanoti hakuna kumuka, vakamubvunza,
24 besithi: Mfundisi, uMozisi wathi: Uba umuntu esifa engelabantwana, umfowabo uzamthatha umkakhe, amvusele umfowabo inzalo.
vachiti: Mudzidzisi, Mozisi wakati: Kana munhu akafa asina vana, munin'ina wake achawana mukadzi wake, agomutsira mukoma wake mbeu.
25 Kwakukhona phakathi kwethu izelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala wasethatha umfazi wafa; futhi engelanzalo, watshiya umkakhe kumfowabo.
Paiva pakati pedu nevanakomana vemunhu umwe vanomwe; wekutanga akawana mukadzi, akafa; uye asina mbeu, akasiya mukadzi wake kumunin'ina wake.
26 Kwaba njalo lowesibili, lowesithathu, kwaze kwaba kowesikhombisa.
Saizvozvowo wechipiri, newechitatu, kusvikira kune wechinomwe.
27 Kwathi emva kwabo bonke kwafa lomfazi.
Pakupedzisira kwevese mukadzi akafawo.
28 Ngakho ekuvukeni kwabafileyo, uzakuba ngumkabani kwabayisikhombisa? Ngoba bonke babelaye.
Zvino pakumuka, achava mukadzi waani pavanomwe? Nokuti vese vakava naye.
29 Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi kubo: Liduhile, lingayazi imibhalo, loba amandla kaNkulunkulu;
Jesu ndokupindura, akati kwavari: Munorasika, musingazivi magwaro, kana simba raMwari;
30 ngoba ekuvukeni kwabafileyo kabathathani, kabendiswa, kodwa banjengengilosi zikaNkulunkulu ezulwini.
nokuti pakumuka havawanani, havawaniswi; asi vakaita sevatumwa vaMwari kudenga.
31 Kodwa mayelana lokuvuka kwabafileyo, kalifundanga yini okwakhulunywa kini nguNkulunkulu, esithi:
Asi maererano nekumuka kwevakafa, hamuna kuverenga here zvakataurwa kwamuri naMwari, achiti:
32 Mina nginguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe? UNkulunkulu kayisuye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa owabaphilayo.
Ini ndiri Mwari waAbhurahama, naMwari waIsaka, naMwari waJakobho? Mwari haasi Mwari wevakafa, asi wevapenyu.
33 Kwathi amaxuku ekuzwa amangala kakhulu ngokufundisa kwakhe.
Zvino zvaunga zvichizvinzwa zvakashamisika nedzidziso yake.
34 Kwathi abaFarisi, sebezwile ukuthi uJesu ubaqume umlomo abaSadusi, babuthana ndawonye.
VaFarisi vakati vachinzwa kuti washaisa VaSadhusi remuromo, vakaungana pamwe.
35 Lomunye wabo, isazumthetho, wambuza, emlinga, esithi:
Zvino umwe wavo, nyanzvi yemutemo, wakamubvunza, achimuidza, ichiti:
36 Mfundisi, yiwuphi umlayo omkhulu emthethweni?
Mudzidzisi, ndeupi mutemo mukuru pamurairo?
37 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, langomphefumulo wakho wonke, langengqondo yakho yonke;
Jesu akati kwaari: Ida Ishe Mwari wako, nemoyo wako wese, uye nemweya wako wese, uye nemurangariro wako umwe neumwe.
38 yiwo lowo umlayo owokuqala lomkhulu.
Ndiwo murairo wekutanga uye mukuru.
39 Lowesibili ufanana lawo uthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.
Wechipiri unofanana nawo, ndiwoyu: Ida umwe wako sezvaunozvida iwe.
40 Kuleyomilayo emibili kweyeme umthetho wonke labaprofethi.
Pamirairo iyi miviri, murairo wese nevaporofita zvakaremberedzwa.
41 Kwathi sebebuthene abaFarisi, uJesu wababuza,
Zvino VaFarisi vachakaungana, Jesu akavabvunza,
42 esithi: Licabangani ngoKristu? Uyindodana kabani? Bathi kuye: NgekaDavida.
achiti: Munofungei pamusoro paKristu? Mwanakomana waani? Vakati kwaari: WaDhavhidhi.
43 Wathi kubo: Pho uDavida wambiza njani ekuMoya ngokuthi yiNkosi, esithi:
Akati kwavari: Ko Dhavhidhi wakagomutumidza sei muMweya kuti Ishe, achiti:
44 INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho?
Ishe wakati kuna Ishe wangu: Gara kurudyi rwangu, kusvikira ndaita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako?
45 Ngakho uba uDavida embiza ngokuthi yiNkosi, uyiNdodana yakhe njani?
Zvino kana Dhavhidhi achimuti Ishe, anova mwanakomana wake sei?
46 Njalo kwakungekho owayengamphendula ilizwi; kusukela ngalolosuku kakwabe kusaba khona umuntu olesibindi sokumbuza.
Zvino hakuna akagona kumupindura shoko; uye kwakange kusina munhu kubva pazuva iro wakatsunga kumubvunzazve.
