UMathewu 25
1 Ngalesosikhathi umbuso wamazulu uzafananiswa lentombi ezilitshumi ezathatha izibane zazo zaphuma ukuhlangabeza umyeni.
Uu utemi wakilunde ukipyanigwa neawali nikuminaahole intala yao ekalongola kumupokela ubwana nuawinga.
2 Njalo ezinhlanu zazo zazihlakaniphile, lezinhlanu zaziyizithutha.
Antaano ao ae apungu nawa neangiza ataano aeaelewa.
3 Eziyizithutha zathatha izibane zazo, kazithathanga amafutha kanye lazo;
Eanawali neapungu ekahola intala yao, shanga ekahola emakuta.
4 kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zathatha amafutha ezitsheni kanye lezibane zazo.
Hange aenawali awa neaelewa ekahola iseme yao nemakuta palungwi ni ntala yao.
5 Kwathi umyeni esephuzile, zawozela zonke zalala ubuthongo.
Imatungo yayo Ubwana nuawinga naushelewe kupika, ehi akahung'wa tolo ekalala.
6 Kodwa phakathi kobusuku kwamenyezwa: Khangelani, umyeni uyeza, phumani liyemhlangabeza!
Lakini utiku wakatekate akakakuta ngwano,''Goza, ubwana nuawinga! Pumi kunzi mumusingeelye.
7 Zasezivuka lezontombi zonke, zalungisa izibane zazo.
Uu neenso enawali ehi akauka ekakakelya intala yao.
8 Eziyizithutha zasezisithi kwezihlakaniphileyo: Sipheni okwamafutha enu, ngoba izibane zethu ziyacitsha.
Awa neapunga ekaaela awa neelewa, 'Mukongelye esehemu amakuta anyu kunsoko intala yitu yukulima.'
9 Kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zaphendula, zathi: Hlezi angaseneli thina lani; kodwa kungcono ukuthi lihambe liye kwabathengisayo lizithengele.
Lakini awa neaelewa ekaasukilya ekaaela, 'Kunsoko shanga akutosilye unyenye nusese, kuite longoli kwa awaneegulya miguelye ekeasi kanyu nekemutosilye.
10 Kwathi zisiyathenga, weza umyeni. Ezasezilungile zasezingena laye emtshadweni, kwasekuvalwa umnyango.
Imatungo naalongoe neanso kugula, Ubwana wawinga wekapika, ne matungo naakole tayali aeendile nang'wenso kushelehe awinga, numulango wikalugailwa.
11 Kwathi emva kwalokho zafika lalezontombi ezinye, zathi: Nkosi, Nkosi, sivulele!
Baadae enawali neangiza naapikile ekalunga, ''Bwana, bwana, kulungwile.''
12 Kodwa yena waphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angilazi lina.
Lakini akaasukelya nukulunga,'Etai kumuela, shanga numumanyile.
13 Ngakho lindani, ngoba kalilwazi usuku lehola iNdodana yomuntu efika ngalo.
Kuite gozi, kunsoko shangamuihe ematungo luhiku ang'wi saa.
14 Ngoba kunjengomuntu owaya kwelinye ilizwe wabiza inceku zakhe, wazinika impahla zakhe;
Kuite sawa numuntu nautakile kusafili kulongola ihe ngeza aeutangile eatugwa akwe nukuapa ugole wakwe.
15 kwathi enye wayinika amathalenta amahlanu, lenye amabili, lenye lalinye, kwaba yileyo laleyo njengamandla ayo; njalo wahle wasuka.
Ung'wiao wekamupa talanta itaano, uyu numungiza wekamupa ibeele, nuyuite wekamupa eng'wi. Kela ung'wiao aupokee kiasi kulengana nuuwezo wakwe, numuntu nuanso weka safili kulongola yakwe.
16 Leyo eyayemukele amathalenta amahlanu yasihamba yathengiselana ngawo, yenza amanye amathalenta amahlanu.
Mapema uyu naupokee entalanta niitano wikalogola wekaelya, nukutugisa talanta itaano hange.
17 Ngokunjalo laleyo elamabili, layo yazuza amanye amabili.
Uu uu nuyu naeupokee italanta nibeele, aeutugizilye ni nzuya ibeele.
18 Kodwa leyo eyayemukele elilodwa yasuka yagebha emhlabathini yayifihla imali yenkosi yayo.
Lakini umutugwa naeupokee talanta eng'wi, wikalongola yakwe wikahemba ishimu pihe, ite wikamepiha empia ang'wa bwana akwe.
19 Kwathi emva kwesikhathi eside inkosi yalezozinceku yafika, yasilandiselana lazo.
Na baada matungo malepu, Ubwana watungwa neanso wekasuka nukuzepelya emaesabu neenso.
20 Kwasekusiza eyayemukele amathalenta amahlanu yaletha amanye amathalenta amahlanu, yathi: Nkosi, wanginika amathalenta amahlanu; khangela, ngizuzile amanye amathalenta amahlanu phezu kwawo.
Umutugwa nuanso nausengeeye italanta niitano auzile wikaleta ningeeza itaano. wikalunga, Bwana, azumpee talanta iitano. Goza napata efaeda atalanta ngiza itaano.
21 Inkosi yayo yasisithi kiyo: Kuhle, nceku elungileyo lethembekileyo, ubuthembekile ezintweni ezinlutshwana, ngizakubeka phezu kwezinengi; ngena entokozweni yenkosi yakho.
Ubwana akwe wikamuila,'' Hongera, mutugwa numuza nuuhueli! Umuhueli kuintu niino. Kuupa emadalaka migulya kuintu niidu. Ingele muiloelyi wang'wa Bwana ako.
22 Kwasekusiza laleyo eyayemukele amathalenta amabili yathi: Nkosi, wanginika amathalenta amabili; khangela, ngizuzile amanye amathalenta amabili phezu kwawo.
Umutugwa nausengeye italanta niibeele wekeza nukulunga, Bwana, aumpee talanta ibeele. Goza napata faeda atalanta geza ibeele.
23 Inkosi yayo yathi kiyo: Kuhle, nceku elungileyo lethembekileyo, ubuthembekile ezintweni ezinlutshwana, ngizakubeka phezu kwezinengi; ngena entokozweni yenkosi yakho.
Ubwana akwe wekamuela,''Hongeeli mutugwa numuza nuuhueli kumaintu nemakehu. Kuupa emadalaka migulya kumaintu needu. Ingile wiloelye mung'wa Bwana ako.''
24 Kodwa kweza laleyo eyayemukele ithalenta elilodwa yathi: Nkosi, bengikwazi wena ukuthi ungumuntu olukhuni, uvuna lapho ongahlanyelanga khona, njalo ubutha lapho ongahlakazanga khona;
Baadae umutugwa naupokee etalanta neng'we aewezie wekalunga,''Bwana, nengile kina uewe umuntu mutaki wevuna pang'wanso neshanga uhusekile.
25 ngasengisesaba, ngasuka ngalifihla ithalenta lakho emhlabathini; khangela, ulokwakho.
Unene nekogopa, nekenda yane nekapiha etalanta akopihe. Goza, ukete hapa nekako.''
26 Kodwa inkosi yayo yaphendula yathi kiyo: Nceku embi lelivila, ubusazi ukuthi ngivuna lapho engingahlanyelanga khona, njalo ngibutha lapho engingahlakazanga khona;
Lakini ubwana wikamusukilya wekalunga. 'Uewe umutugwa mubee, aulengile kina nekala pang'wanso neshanga ntemee nukuvuna pang'wanso neshanganihusekile.
27 ngakho ngabe ubekile imali yami ebhanga, njalo ekufikeni kwami ngabe ngemukele okwami lenzuzo.
Kuite aeizepie kuapa empia ane entu abenki, nematungo naensukile kung'wane aezemesengelya nane palung'wi nefaeda.
28 Ngakho mthatheleni ithalenta, lilinike yena olamathalenta alitshumi.
Apa muhegelyi etalanta nanso mumupe utugwa nukete talanta nikumi.
29 Ngoba wonke olakho uzaphiwa, uzakwengezelelwa; kodwa ongelakho uzathathelwa lalokho alakho.
Kila umuntu nukete nekakwe, okongeligwa ikulu ata ukuzidisheligwa. Lakini kwa uyu nemugila ekentu, ga nekenukete ukuhegeligwa.
30 Laleyonceku engasizi lutho iphoseleni emnyameni ongaphandle; kuzakuba khona lapho ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
Mugumi kunzi kukiti umutugwa nuanso neshanga ufaile hange ikutula kelelo nukukelya emino!
31 Njalo nxa isiza iNdodana yomuntu ngobukhosi bayo, lengilosi ezingcwele zonke laye, khona izahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sodumo lwayo,
Ematungo ung'wa Adamu nuekeza nuutukufu wakwe, naealaeka ehi palung'wi nung'wenso, Uu ukikie migulya ituntu lakwe nuutukufu.
32 kuzabuthelwa phambi kwayo izizwe zonke, njalo izabehlukanisa abanye kwabanye, njengomelusi esehlukanisa izimvu embuzini;
Indugu yehi ikilingeela ntongeela akwe, nung'wenso ukuabagala eantu. Anga umudemi nuebagula inkolo nimbuli.
33 ibisibeka izimvu ngakwesokunene sayo, kodwa imbuzi ngakwesokhohlo.
Ukuieka inkolo mukono wakwe nuwakigoha, ite ukiekaimbuli mokono wankege.
34 Khona-ke iNkosi izakuthi kubo abangakwesokunene sayo: Wozani, lina elibusisiweyo nguBaba, lidle ilifa lombuso eliwulungiselweyo kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba.
Ite umufalme ukuaela awa nea mukono wakegoha, Nzii, nemukembetilwe nu Tata anyi, usali ufalme nauandalewe kunsoko anyu kupuma ukuekwa emesingi au nkumbigulu.
35 Ngoba ngangilambile, langinika ukudla; ngangomile, langinathisa; ngangingowemzini, langemukela;
Hange aenkete nzala mekampa indya; Ae nemugeni mukankalibisha.
36 ngangize, langigqokisa; ngangigula, leza ukungibona; ngangisentolongweni, leza kimi.
Ae nkole kepwe, mekantugala eang'wenda; Ae numulwae mekantunza; Ae nkole muketungo mukangoza!
37 Khona abalungileyo bezayiphendula, besithi: Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, njalo sakunika ukudla, kumbe womile, njalo sakunathisa?
Uu awa neatai akumusukelya nukumuela, Bwana, Nale aekukuine ukete nzala kekakulesa? Ang'wi ukete nyota kekakupe maze? Hange nale nae kukuine umugeni kekaku kalibisha? Ag'wi ukete nyota kekakupa emaze?
38 Njalo sakubona nini ungowemzini, futhi sakwemukela, kumbe uze, futhi sakugqokisa?
Ang'wi nale naekukuine umugeni nakekakukalibesha? Hange umugila anga lang, wenda kekakutugala eang'wenda?
39 Njalo sakubona nini ugula, loba usentolongweni, njalo seza kuwe?
Ang'wi nale naeumulwae, ang'wi ukole muketungo kekeza kuugoza?
40 Futhi iNkosi izaphendula ithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba likwenzile komunye walaba abazalwane bami abancinyane, likwenzile kimi.
Na umufalme ukuasukelya, etai kumuela, naemutendile apaite kung'wi anyandugu ane neanino, aemuntendee nene!
41 Ngalesosikhathi izakuthi njalo kubo abangakwesokhohlo: Sukani kimi, lina eliqalekisiweyo, liye emlilweni olaphakade, olungiselwe udiyabhola lengilosi zakhe. (aiōnios g166)
Kuite ukuaela awa neakole umukono wakwe nuankege; Hegi kitalane unye nemukete emasatiko, Longoli kumoto nua kulenakale naeuandalewe kunsoko ang'wa shetani neamalaeka akwe; (aiōnios g166)
42 Ngoba ngangilambile, kodwa kalinginikanga ukudla; ngangomile, kodwa kalinginathisanga;
Kunsoko aenkete nzala shanga mekakumpa indya; Ae nkete nyota shanga kekakupa emaze;
43 ngangingowemzini, kodwa kalingemukelanga; ngangize, kodwa kalingigqokisanga; ngangigula, ngangisentolongweni, kodwa kalizanga ukungibona.
Ae nemugeni shanga mekankalibisha; Ae nkolekepwe shanga mekampa eang'wenda; Ae nemulwae ae ntungilwe kuite shanga mekangoza.
44 Khona lalaba bezamphendula, besithi: Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, loba womile, loba ungowemzini, loba uze, loba ugula, loba usentolongweni, kodwa kasakusiza?
Au nawa neanso aku musukelwa nukulunga, Bwana nale naekukuine ukete nzala ang'wi nyota, ang'wi umugeni, ang'wi ukepwe ang'wi umulwae, ang'wiutungilwe, shanga kekakuhudumela?
45 Isizabaphendula, ithi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba lingakwenzanga komunye walaba abancinyane, kalikwenzanga lakimi.
Ite ukuasukelya nukulunga,''Etai kumuela, eke neshanga aemuatendee awa neanino, shangaae muntendee anga nene.
