UMathewu 25
1 Ngalesosikhathi umbuso wamazulu uzafananiswa lentombi ezilitshumi ezathatha izibane zazo zaphuma ukuhlangabeza umyeni.
Mbe niwo obhukama bhwamulwile bhulisusanyibhwa na abhayala ekumi abho bhagengele jitala na nibhagenda okuja okulamila omutwasi wo bhwenga.
2 Njalo ezinhlanu zazo zazihlakaniphile, lezinhlanu zaziyizithutha.
Abhatanu mwabho bhaliga bhamumu bhatanu abhandi bhaliga bhobhwenge.
3 Eziyizithutha zathatha izibane zazo, kazithathanga amafutha kanye lazo;
Abhayala abhamumu bhejile bhagegele jitala jebhwe bhatagegele mafuta gone gone.
4 kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zathatha amafutha ezitsheni kanye lezibane zazo.
Nawe abhayala bho bhwebge bhagegele ebhinu bhya mafuta amwi najitala jebhwe.
5 Kwathi umyeni esephuzile, zawozela zonke zalala ubuthongo.
Woli omwanya omutwasi wobhenga ejile akola okukinga, bhone nibhagwatwa jitilo nibhamama.
6 Kodwa phakathi kobusuku kwamenyezwa: Khangelani, umyeni uyeza, phumani liyemhlangabeza!
Nawe omwanya gwa mungeta agati nibhao ijogele,' Mbe mulole omutwasi wo bhwenga! Ni muuluke anja mujokumulamila.'
7 Zasezivuka lezontombi zonke, zalungisa izibane zazo.
Niwo abhayala abho bhone nibhemuka nibhakongeshq jitala jebhwe.
8 Eziyizithutha zasezisithi kwezihlakaniphileyo: Sipheni okwamafutha enu, ngoba izibane zethu ziyacitsha.
Abhamumu bhaliya nibhabhwila bhaliya abho bhwengwe, muchiyaneko libhala lya mafuta gemwe okubha jitala jeswe ejisimilila!
9 Kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zaphendula, zathi: Hlezi angaseneli thina lani; kodwa kungcono ukuthi lihambe liye kwabathengisayo lizithengele.
Nawe bhaliya abhobhwengeso mbhabhasubhya no kubhabhwila ati, amwi gatakuchiya eswe nemwe, akili mugende kubhanu mwigulile abhene.'
10 Kwathi zisiyathenga, weza umyeni. Ezasezilungile zasezingena laye emtshadweni, kwasekuvalwa umnyango.
OMwanya bhagendele eyo okugula, omutwasi wo bhwenga akingile, na bhone bhanu bhaliga bhamaliliye bhagendele nage omutwasi wo bhwenga, omulyango gwegaye.
11 Kwathi emva kwalokho zafika lalezontombi ezinye, zathi: Nkosi, Nkosi, sivulele!
Ejile bheya abhayala abhandi one nibhakinga nibhaika! 'Latabhugenyi, Latabhugenyi nuchigulile.
12 Kodwa yena waphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angilazi lina.
Nawe asubhishe naika ati, nichimali nabhabhwila ati, anye nitakubhamenya.
13 Ngakho lindani, ngoba kalilwazi usuku lehola iNdodana yomuntu efika ngalo.
Kulwejo nimwangalile, kwokubha mutakumenya lusiku nolwo isaa.
14 Ngoba kunjengomuntu owaya kwelinye ilizwe wabiza inceku zakhe, wazinika impahla zakhe;
kwo kubha ni lwa kutyo omunu aliga nenda okuja mulugendo okuja munsi Indi. Abhabhilikie abhagaya bhae nabhasigila obhunibhi bhwae.
15 kwathi enye wayinika amathalenta amahlanu, lenye amabili, lenye lalinye, kwaba yileyo laleyo njengamandla ayo; njalo wahle wasuka.
Oumwi webhwe amuyanile jitalanta etanu oundi amuyanile Ebhili, na uliya oundi amuyanile talanta imwi. Bhuli umwi alamiye okwingana no bhutulo bhwae, no munu uliya agendele jae.
16 Leyo eyayemukele amathalenta amahlanu yasihamba yathengiselana ngawo, yenza amanye amathalenta amahlanu.
Ao nao uliya alamiye jitalanta etanu agendele najibhikisha, no kwibhusha jitalanta ejindi etanu.
17 Ngokunjalo laleyo elamabili, layo yazuza amanye amabili.
Niko kutyo uliya alamiye jitalanta ebhili, ebhusishe ejindi ebhili.
18 Kodwa leyo eyayemukele elilodwa yasuka yagebha emhlabathini yayifihla imali yenkosi yayo.
omugaya oyo alamiye italanta imwi, agendele jae, nasimba elyobho mumayalu, naiseleka iyela ya isebhugenyi wae.
19 Kwathi emva kwesikhathi eside inkosi yalezozinceku yafika, yasilandiselana lazo.
Mbe nigutulao mwanya mulela, isebhugenyi wa abhagaya abho asubhile na nakonja amasabhu nabho.
20 Kwasekusiza eyayemukele amathalenta amahlanu yaletha amanye amathalenta amahlanu, yathi: Nkosi, wanginika amathalenta amahlanu; khangela, ngizuzile amanye amathalenta amahlanu phezu kwawo.
Uliya omugaya oyo alamiye jitalanta etanu ejile no kuleta jitalanta ejindi etanu, naika ati, 'Latabhugenyi, wananile jitalanta etanu, Lola nabhenemo jitalanta ejindi etanu.'
21 Inkosi yayo yasisithi kiyo: Kuhle, nceku elungileyo lethembekileyo, ubuthembekile ezintweni ezinlutshwana, ngizakubeka phezu kwezinengi; ngena entokozweni yenkosi yakho.
Esebhugenyi wae amubhwiliye ati, 'Wakondya, uli mugaya wa bhwana na mwiikanyibhwa! wabha mwiikanyibhwa ku cHinu chitoto. Enikuyana obhukulu ingulu ye bhinu byafu. Ingila mubhukondelwa bhwa Esebhugenyi wao.'
22 Kwasekusiza laleyo eyayemukele amathalenta amabili yathi: Nkosi, wanginika amathalenta amabili; khangela, ngizuzile amanye amathalenta amabili phezu kwawo.
Mugaya oyo alamiye jitalanta ebhili ejile naika ati, 'Latabhugenyi, nalamiye talanta ebhili. Lola, nabhwenemo jitalanta ejindi ebhili,
23 Inkosi yayo yathi kiyo: Kuhle, nceku elungileyo lethembekileyo, ubuthembekile ezintweni ezinlutshwana, ngizakubeka phezu kwezinengi; ngena entokozweni yenkosi yakho.
Esebhugenyi wae amubhwiliye ati, 'Wakondya, uli mugaya wa bhwana na mwiikanyibhwa wabha mwiikanyibhwa kubhinu bhikeele. Enikuyana obhukulu ingulu ye bhinu bhyafu. Ingila mubhukondelwa bhwa Esobhugenyi wao
24 Kodwa kweza laleyo eyayemukele ithalenta elilodwa yathi: Nkosi, bengikwazi wena ukuthi ungumuntu olukhuni, uvuna lapho ongahlanyelanga khona, njalo ubutha lapho ongahlakazanga khona;
Ao nao omugaya oyo alamiye Italanta imwi ejile naika ati, 'Latabhugenyi nimenyele ati, awe uli musayuke. Ounoga na ao utayambile, na ougesa nao utabhibhile.
25 ngasengisesaba, ngasuka ngalifihla ithalenta lakho emhlabathini; khangela, ulokwakho.
Anye nobhaile, ningenda Jani na niniiseleka Italanta yao mumayalu. Lola, unayo anu ili eyao.'
26 Kodwa inkosi yayo yaphendula yathi kiyo: Nceku embi lelivila, ubusazi ukuthi ngivuna lapho engingahlanyelanga khona, njalo ngibutha lapho engingahlakazanga khona;
Nawe esebhugenyi waye asubhishe naika ati, awe mugaya mubhibhi na mulenga wamenyele ati eninoga ao nichali kuyamba no kugesa nao nichali kubhibha.
27 ngakho ngabe ubekile imali yami ebhanga, njalo ekufikeni kwami ngabe ngemukele okwami lenzuzo.
Mbe kwaliga kukwiile okubhayana iyela yani abhanu bha ibenki, no mwanya gunu nakasubhile anye nakailamiye eyani iliya no luliyo lwendemo.
28 Ngakho mthatheleni ithalenta, lilinike yena olamathalenta alitshumi.
Mbe mumuteshe Italanta eyo na mumuyane uliya omugaya oyo ali na jitalanta ekumi.
29 Ngoba wonke olakho uzaphiwa, uzakwengezelelwa; kodwa ongelakho uzathathelwa lalokho alakho.
Bhuli munu unu alinacho, alyongesibhwa bhyafu -nolwo kwo kukanyisibwa muno. Tali ku wone wone oyo atali nachinu nolwo echo alinacho alitesibhwa.
30 Laleyonceku engasizi lutho iphoseleni emnyameni ongaphandle; kuzakuba khona lapho ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
Nimumwese anja mumwilima (muchisute) oyo omugaya Oyo ateile, niyo kulibha okulila no kuguguna ameno.'
31 Njalo nxa isiza iNdodana yomuntu ngobukhosi bayo, lengilosi ezingcwele zonke laye, khona izahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sodumo lwayo,
Akatungu omwana wo munu alija na likusho lyaye, na bhamalaika bhone amwi nage niwo alinyanja kuchitebhe chae echa likusho.
32 kuzabuthelwa phambi kwayo izizwe zonke, njalo izabehlukanisa abanye kwabanye, njengomelusi esehlukanisa izimvu embuzini;
Amaanga gone galikofyanya imbele yaye, omwene alisolamo abhanu lwa kutyo omulefi kasolamo jinyabhalega na jimbusi.
33 ibisibeka izimvu ngakwesokunene sayo, kodwa imbuzi ngakwesokhohlo.
alijitula jinyabhalega mukubhoko kwe bhulyo, Tali jimbusi alijitula mukubhoko kwe ebhumosi.
34 Khona-ke iNkosi izakuthi kubo abangakwesokunene sayo: Wozani, lina elibusisiweyo nguBaba, lidle ilifa lombuso eliwulungiselweyo kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba.
Mbe niwo omukama alibhabhwila bhalia bhanu bhali mukubhoko kwae kwe bhulyo, muje abho muyanilwe amabhando na Lata wani mwingile mubhukama bhunu mwabhikiwe emwe kwambila okutelwao emisingi ja insi.
35 Ngoba ngangilambile, langinika ukudla; ngangomile, langinathisa; ngangingowemzini, langemukela;
Okubha naliga no mweko nimunana ebhilyo; Naliga mugenyi nimunkalibhisha.
36 ngangize, langigqokisa; ngangigula, leza ukungibona; ngangisentolongweni, leza kimi.
Naliga tuyu nimunfwafya emyenda, Naliga ndwae na nimumbika; Na Naliga nibhoyelwe na nimunyijila!
37 Khona abalungileyo bezayiphendula, besithi: Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, njalo sakunika ukudla, kumbe womile, njalo sakunathisa?
Mbe niwo abhalegesi bhalimusubhya nibhaika ati, 'Latabhugenyi, Ni lii chakubhwene uli no mweko no kukukesha amwi uli no bhwilo na nichikuyana amanji.
38 Njalo sakubona nini ungowemzini, futhi sakwemukela, kumbe uze, futhi sakugqokisa?
Na Ni lii chakulolele uli mugenyi, na nichikukalibhisha amwi uli tuyu nichikufwafya emyenda?
39 Njalo sakubona nini ugula, loba usentolongweni, njalo seza kuwe?
Na ni lii chakulolele uli mulwae amwi mwibhoyelo na nichikwijila?
40 Futhi iNkosi izaphendula ithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba likwenzile komunye walaba abazalwane bami abancinyane, likwenzile kimi.
No mukama alibhasubhya no kubhabhwila ati, ni chimali enibhabhwila ati echo mwakolele anu ku umwi wa bhaili bhani abhatoto, mwankolee anye.'
41 Ngalesosikhathi izakuthi njalo kubo abangakwesokhohlo: Sukani kimi, lina eliqalekisiweyo, liye emlilweni olaphakade, olungiselwe udiyabhola lengilosi zakhe. (aiōnios g166)
Niwo alibhabhwila abho bhali mukubhoko kwae kwe bhumosi, nimusoke kwanye abho mufumilisibhwe, mugende mumulilo gunu gutakuwao gunu gwelabhilwe kulwa shetani na bhamalaika bhaye, (aiōnios g166)
42 Ngoba ngangilambile, kodwa kalinginikanga ukudla; ngangomile, kodwa kalinginathisanga;
okubha naliga no mweko nawe mutananile bhilyo; Naliga nili no bhwilo nawe mutananile manji;
43 ngangingowemzini, kodwa kalingemukelanga; ngangize, kodwa kalingigqokisanga; ngangigula, ngangisentolongweni, kodwa kalizanga ukungibona.
Naliga nili mugenyi mutankalibhisishe nili tuyu nawe mutananile myenda; Nili mulwae na nili mwibhoyelo nawe mutandolele.'
44 Khona lalaba bezamphendula, besithi: Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, loba womile, loba ungowemzini, loba uze, loba ugula, loba usentolongweni, kodwa kasakusiza?
Niwo abho one bhalimusubhya nibhaika ati, Latabhugenyi, Ni lii chakulolele uli no mweko, amwi uli no bhwilo, amwi uli mugenyi amwi uli tuyu, amwi uli mulwae, amwi uli mubhoywa na chitakufulubhendeye?
45 Isizabaphendula, ithi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba lingakwenzanga komunye walaba abancinyane, kalikwenzanga lakimi.
Mbe niwo alibhasubhya naika ati, Ni chimali enibhabhwila ati chilia echo mutakolele ku umwi wa bhanu abhatoto, mutankolee anye.'
