UMathewu 25
1 Ngalesosikhathi umbuso wamazulu uzafananiswa lentombi ezilitshumi ezathatha izibane zazo zaphuma ukuhlangabeza umyeni.
Panguva iyo ushe hwekumatenga huchava hwakafananidzwa nevasikana gumi vakatora marambi avo vakabuda kunochingamidza muwani.
2 Njalo ezinhlanu zazo zazihlakaniphile, lezinhlanu zaziyizithutha.
Zvino vashanu vavo vakange vakachenjera, uye vashanu vari mapenzi.
3 Eziyizithutha zathatha izibane zazo, kazithathanga amafutha kanye lazo;
Avo vari mapenzi vakatora marambi avo, vakasatora mafuta pamwe navo.
4 kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zathatha amafutha ezitsheni kanye lezibane zazo.
Asi vakachenjera vakatora mafuta mumidziyo yavo nemarambi avo.
5 Kwathi umyeni esephuzile, zawozela zonke zalala ubuthongo.
Zvino muwani wakati achinonoka, vese vakatsumwaira vakarara.
6 Kodwa phakathi kobusuku kwamenyezwa: Khangelani, umyeni uyeza, phumani liyemhlangabeza!
Asi pakati peusiku kwakadanidzirwa: Tarirai, muwani ouya, budai munomuchingamidza!
7 Zasezivuka lezontombi zonke, zalungisa izibane zazo.
Zvino vasikana avo vese vakamuka, vakagadzira marambi avo.
8 Eziyizithutha zasezisithi kwezihlakaniphileyo: Sipheni okwamafutha enu, ngoba izibane zethu ziyacitsha.
Mapenzi akati kune vakachenjera: Tipei pamafuta enyu nokuti marambi edu odzima.
9 Kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zaphendula, zathi: Hlezi angaseneli thina lani; kodwa kungcono ukuthi lihambe liye kwabathengisayo lizithengele.
Asi vakachenjera vakapindura vachiti: Zvimwe haangakwaniri isu nemwi; asi zviri nani endai kune vanotengesa munozvitengera.
10 Kwathi zisiyathenga, weza umyeni. Ezasezilungile zasezingena laye emtshadweni, kwasekuvalwa umnyango.
Vakati vachienda kunotenga, muwani akasvika. Zvino vakange vakagadzirira vakapinda naye mumuchato, mukova ukapfigwa.
11 Kwathi emva kwalokho zafika lalezontombi ezinye, zathi: Nkosi, Nkosi, sivulele!
Zvino pashure kwakauyawo vamwe vasikana, vachiti: Ishe, ishe, tizarurirei!
12 Kodwa yena waphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angilazi lina.
Asi wakapindura akati: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Handikuziviyi imwi.
13 Ngakho lindani, ngoba kalilwazi usuku lehola iNdodana yomuntu efika ngalo.
Naizvozvo rindai, nokuti hamuzivi zuva kana awa Mwanakomana wemunhu raachauya mariri.
14 Ngoba kunjengomuntu owaya kwelinye ilizwe wabiza inceku zakhe, wazinika impahla zakhe;
Nokuti zvakaita semunhu wakafamba rwendo, akadana varanda vake, akavapa zvaaiva nazvo.
15 kwathi enye wayinika amathalenta amahlanu, lenye amabili, lenye lalinye, kwaba yileyo laleyo njengamandla ayo; njalo wahle wasuka.
Uye kune umwe wakapa matarenda mashanu, umwe maviri, umwe rimwe, umwe neumwe zvakakwanirana nesimba rake; pakarepo akafamba rwendo.
16 Leyo eyayemukele amathalenta amahlanu yasihamba yathengiselana ngawo, yenza amanye amathalenta amahlanu.
Uye wakagamuchira matarenda mashanu akaenda akaita mhindu nawo, akaita mamwe matarenda mashanu.
17 Ngokunjalo laleyo elamabili, layo yazuza amanye amabili.
Saizvozvowo wemaviri, iye akawanawo mamwe maviri.
18 Kodwa leyo eyayemukele elilodwa yasuka yagebha emhlabathini yayifihla imali yenkosi yayo.
Asi wakagamuchira rimwe wakaenda akachera pasi, akaviga mari yaishe wake.
19 Kwathi emva kwesikhathi eside inkosi yalezozinceku yafika, yasilandiselana lazo.
Shure kwenguva refu, ishe wevaranda avo wakasvika, akagadzira zvemari navo.
20 Kwasekusiza eyayemukele amathalenta amahlanu yaletha amanye amathalenta amahlanu, yathi: Nkosi, wanginika amathalenta amahlanu; khangela, ngizuzile amanye amathalenta amahlanu phezu kwawo.
Kwakauya wakange agamuchira matarenda mashanu akauisa mamwe matarenda mashanu achiti: Ishe, makandikumikidza matarenda mashanu; tarirai, ndawana pamusoro pawo mamwe matarenda mashanu.
21 Inkosi yayo yasisithi kiyo: Kuhle, nceku elungileyo lethembekileyo, ubuthembekile ezintweni ezinlutshwana, ngizakubeka phezu kwezinengi; ngena entokozweni yenkosi yakho.
Ishe wake akati kwaari: Zvakanaka, muranda wakanaka uye wakatendeka, wakange wakatendeka pazvishoma, ndichakuisa pamusoro pezvizhinji; pinda mumufaro waishe wako.
22 Kwasekusiza laleyo eyayemukele amathalenta amabili yathi: Nkosi, wanginika amathalenta amabili; khangela, ngizuzile amanye amathalenta amabili phezu kwawo.
Wakange agamuchira matarenda maviri akauyawo akati: Ishe, makandikumikidza matarenda maviri; tarirai, ndawana mamwe matarenda maviri pamusoro pawo.
23 Inkosi yayo yathi kiyo: Kuhle, nceku elungileyo lethembekileyo, ubuthembekile ezintweni ezinlutshwana, ngizakubeka phezu kwezinengi; ngena entokozweni yenkosi yakho.
Ishe wake akati kwaari: Zvakanaka, muranda wakanaka uye wakatendeka, wakange wakatendeka pazvishoma, ndichakuisa pamusoro pezvizhinji; pinda mumufaro waishe wako.
24 Kodwa kweza laleyo eyayemukele ithalenta elilodwa yathi: Nkosi, bengikwazi wena ukuthi ungumuntu olukhuni, uvuna lapho ongahlanyelanga khona, njalo ubutha lapho ongahlakazanga khona;
Asi wakange agamuchira tarenda rimwe naiye wakauya akati: Ishe, ndakange ndichikuzivai imwi kuti muri munhu wakawoma, munokohwa pamusina kudzvara, munounganidza pamusina kukusha;
25 ngasengisesaba, ngasuka ngalifihla ithalenta lakho emhlabathini; khangela, ulokwakho.
zvino ndakatya, ndikaenda ndikanoviga tarenda renyu muvhu; tarirai, mava nechenyu!
26 Kodwa inkosi yayo yaphendula yathi kiyo: Nceku embi lelivila, ubusazi ukuthi ngivuna lapho engingahlanyelanga khona, njalo ngibutha lapho engingahlakazanga khona;
Ishe wake akapindura akati kwaari: Muranda wakaipa une usimbe, wakange uchiziva kuti ndinokohwa pandisina kudzvara, ndichiunganidza pandisina kukusha.
27 ngakho ngabe ubekile imali yami ebhanga, njalo ekufikeni kwami ngabe ngemukele okwami lenzuzo.
Saka waifanira kuisa mari yangu kuvatsinhanisi vemari, neni pakusvika ndingadai ndagamuchira zvangu nezvibereko.
28 Ngakho mthatheleni ithalenta, lilinike yena olamathalenta alitshumi.
Naizvozvo mutorerei tarenda, mupe kune ane matarenda gumi.
29 Ngoba wonke olakho uzaphiwa, uzakwengezelelwa; kodwa ongelakho uzathathelwa lalokho alakho.
Nokuti wese anazvo achapiwa ave nezvakawandisa; asi kubva kune asina kuchatorwa nechaanacho.
30 Laleyonceku engasizi lutho iphoseleni emnyameni ongaphandle; kuzakuba khona lapho ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
Uye muranda pasina murasirei kurima rekunze kwekupedzisira; ipapo pachava nekuchema nekugeda-geda kwemeno.
31 Njalo nxa isiza iNdodana yomuntu ngobukhosi bayo, lengilosi ezingcwele zonke laye, khona izahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sodumo lwayo,
Zvino kana Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya mukubwinya kwake, nevatumwa vatsvene vese vanaye, ipapo achagara pachigaro cheushe chekubwinya kwake.
32 kuzabuthelwa phambi kwayo izizwe zonke, njalo izabehlukanisa abanye kwabanye, njengomelusi esehlukanisa izimvu embuzini;
Zvino pamberi pake pachaunganidzwa ndudzi dzese; uye achadziparadzanisa vamwe kubva kune vamwe, semufudzi anoparadzanisa makwai kubva kumbudzi.
33 ibisibeka izimvu ngakwesokunene sayo, kodwa imbuzi ngakwesokhohlo.
Achamisa makwai kuruoko rwake rwerudyi, asi mbudzi kuruboshwe.
34 Khona-ke iNkosi izakuthi kubo abangakwesokunene sayo: Wozani, lina elibusisiweyo nguBaba, lidle ilifa lombuso eliwulungiselweyo kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba.
Zvino Mambo achati kune vari kuruoko rwake rwerudyi: Uyai, imwi makaropafadzwa naBaba vangu, mugare nhaka yeushe hwakagadzirirwa imwi kubva pakuvamba kwenyika.
35 Ngoba ngangilambile, langinika ukudla; ngangomile, langinathisa; ngangingowemzini, langemukela;
Nokuti ndakange ndine nzara, mukandipa chekudya; ndakange ndine nyota, mukandipa chekunwa; ndakange ndiri mweni, mukandigamuchira;
36 ngangize, langigqokisa; ngangigula, leza ukungibona; ngangisentolongweni, leza kimi.
ndakashama, mukandipfekedza; ndakange ndichirwara, mukandishanyira; ndakange ndiri mutirongo, mukauya kwandiri.
37 Khona abalungileyo bezayiphendula, besithi: Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, njalo sakunika ukudla, kumbe womile, njalo sakunathisa?
Ipapo vakarurama vachamupindura vachiti: Ishe, takakuonai rinhi mune nzara, tikakupai chekudya, kana mune nyota, tikapa chekunwa?
38 Njalo sakubona nini ungowemzini, futhi sakwemukela, kumbe uze, futhi sakugqokisa?
Takakuonai rinhi muri mweni, tikakugamuchirai, kana makashama, tikapfekedza?
39 Njalo sakubona nini ugula, loba usentolongweni, njalo seza kuwe?
Takakuonai rinhi muchirwara, kana mutirongo, tikauya kwamuri?
40 Futhi iNkosi izaphendula ithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba likwenzile komunye walaba abazalwane bami abancinyane, likwenzile kimi.
Uye Mambo achapindura ati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Sezvamakaitira umwe wehama dzangu idzi mudikisa, makaitira ini.
41 Ngalesosikhathi izakuthi njalo kubo abangakwesokhohlo: Sukani kimi, lina eliqalekisiweyo, liye emlilweni olaphakade, olungiselwe udiyabhola lengilosi zakhe. (aiōnios g166)
Ipapo uchatiwo kune vari kuruoko rweruboshwe: Ibvai kwandiri, imwi makatukwa, muende kumoto usingaperi, wakagadzirirwa dhiabhorosi nevatumwa vake. (aiōnios g166)
42 Ngoba ngangilambile, kodwa kalinginikanga ukudla; ngangomile, kodwa kalinginathisanga;
Nokuti ndakange ndine nzara, mukasandipa chekudya; ndakange ndine nyota, mukasandipa chekunwa;
43 ngangingowemzini, kodwa kalingemukelanga; ngangize, kodwa kalingigqokisanga; ngangigula, ngangisentolongweni, kodwa kalizanga ukungibona.
ndakange ndiri mweni, mukasandigamuchira; ndakashama, mukasandipfekedza; ndichirwara, nemutirongo, mukasandishanyira.
44 Khona lalaba bezamphendula, besithi: Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, loba womile, loba ungowemzini, loba uze, loba ugula, loba usentolongweni, kodwa kasakusiza?
Ipapo avawo vachamupindura vachiti: Ishe, takakuonai rinhi mune nzara, kana mune nyota, kana muri mweni, kana makashama, kana muchirwara, kana muri mutirongo, tikasakushandirai?
45 Isizabaphendula, ithi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba lingakwenzanga komunye walaba abancinyane, kalikwenzanga lakimi.
Zvino achavapindura achiti: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Pamusina kuitira umwe wevadikisa ava, hamuna kuitirawo ini.
