UMathewu 25
1 Ngalesosikhathi umbuso wamazulu uzafananiswa lentombi ezilitshumi ezathatha izibane zazo zaphuma ukuhlangabeza umyeni.
“Ho alu lo Nyidomooku gv Karv ngv vbvrire. Lvkogulo nyijar vring go dooto, bunu bunugv mvdurupum a naalayila makbu rijibonga kaarwk sibv vnglin nyatoku.
2 Njalo ezinhlanu zazo zazihlakaniphile, lezinhlanu zaziyizithutha.
Angu gunv pvcha nyato okv kvvbi angu gunv mvnglak nyato.
3 Eziyizithutha zathatha izibane zazo, kazithathanga amafutha kanye lazo;
Pvchanv vdwv bunugv mvdurupum a bvngla vngnyato vbvritola bunu tvli gvpwng mato.
4 kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zathatha amafutha ezitsheni kanye lezibane zazo.
Mvnglaknv angu hv bvngia nvnvlo bunugv mvdurupum lvgabv tvli vkv yarbing dubv bvngtoku.
5 Kwathi umyeni esephuzile, zawozela zonke zalala ubuthongo.
Makbu rijibongv aadu bv tapv toku, vkvlvgabv nyijar vdwv yumi mirapla yupngak nyatoku.
6 Kodwa phakathi kobusuku kwamenyezwa: Khangelani, umyeni uyeza, phumani liyemhlangabeza!
“Ayuyupra bv ritoku, ho sudu go dulinto, ‘Siinv makbu rijibongv! Aala okv ninyia kaarwk sulakuka!’
7 Zasezivuka lezontombi zonke, zalungisa izibane zazo.
Nyijar vring ngv hurap nyala bunugv mvdurupum baanu nyatoku.
8 Eziyizithutha zasezisithi kwezihlakaniphileyo: Sipheni okwamafutha enu, ngoba izibane zethu ziyacitsha.
Vbvrikunamv pvchanv vdwv nyebanv vdwa minto, ‘Klai, ngonua nonugv tvli lokv jilabv, ogulvgavbolo ngonugv mvdurupum hv ngejiku.’
9 Kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zaphendula, zathi: Hlezi angaseneli thina lani; kodwa kungcono ukuthi lihambe liye kwabathengisayo lizithengele.
Nyebanv vdwv mirwkto, ‘Ma,’ ‘Nonu gvbv la ngonu gvbv tvli hv chimare. Dukan lo vngnyika okv nonuno lvgabv rvvti laka.’
10 Kwathi zisiyathenga, weza umyeni. Ezasezilungile zasezingena laye emtshadweni, kwasekuvalwa umnyango.
Vkvlvgabv pvchanv nyijar vdwv tvli mego rvvdubv vngnya toku; okv bunugv vngro kochingbv makbu rijibongv aatoku. Nyijar angu kaayanv vdwv makbu rijibonga lvkobv nyida dvpam lo vngming gvtoku, okv agi a koktum toku.
11 Kwathi emva kwalokho zafika lalezontombi ezinye, zathi: Nkosi, Nkosi, sivulele!
“Ayungjvma nga kvvbi vdwv aalwk nyatoku. Bunu, ‘Tamsarnv, tamsarnv! Ngonua arwng aamu labv!’ vla kapla goknya toku.
12 Kodwa yena waphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angilazi lina.
‘Ma rung! Ngo nonua chima,’ vla makburijibongv mirwk toku.”
13 Ngakho lindani, ngoba kalilwazi usuku lehola iNdodana yomuntu efika ngalo.
Okv Jisu minyabv mintoku, “Vbvrikunamv nonuno hinsu laka, ogulvgavbolo nonu alu vmalo dw nga chima.
14 Ngoba kunjengomuntu owaya kwelinye ilizwe wabiza inceku zakhe, wazinika impahla zakhe;
“Ho alu lo Nyidomooku gv Karv ngv svbv rire. Alu gulo nyi ako dooto, nw adu lo moing vngtv tvvto; nw ninyigv pakbu vdwa goklwk gvrila ninyigv yikungyira nga kaaya dubv tinglwk toku.
15 kwathi enye wayinika amathalenta amahlanu, lenye amabili, lenye lalinye, kwaba yileyo laleyo njengamandla ayo; njalo wahle wasuka.
Nw nyi vdwa rilajinv nga kaala akin—akin a kaagvrila jito: Akonyi nw ain lokdwng hejar angu go jito, akonyi hejar anyigo okv akonyi nw hejar akin go jito. Vbvrikunamv nw moing vngyu toku.
16 Leyo eyayemukele amathalenta amahlanu yasihamba yathengiselana ngawo, yenza amanye amathalenta amahlanu.
Hejar angu lokdwng go naarwknv pakbu angv vjakgobv vngda bongv ninyigv morko nga mvjinmvta toku okv hejar angu godv mvlin jitoku.
17 Ngokunjalo laleyo elamabili, layo yazuza amanye amabili.

18 Kodwa leyo eyayemukele elilodwa yasuka yagebha emhlabathini yayifihla imali yenkosi yayo.
Vbvritola lokdwng hejar go naarwk sinv pakbu angv vngla, kvdw lo ungrung go dutola ninyigv Ahtu gv morko nga hoka vvsi toku.
19 Kwathi emva kwesikhathi eside inkosi yalezozinceku yafika, yasilandiselana lazo.
“Achialvgo ayungjvma nga ho pakbu vdwgv atu angv aakur toku okv bunua lvkobv morko nga sapka toku.
20 Kwasekusiza eyayemukele amathalenta amahlanu yaletha amanye amathalenta amahlanu, yathi: Nkosi, wanginika amathalenta amahlanu; khangela, ngizuzile amanye amathalenta amahlanu phezu kwawo.
Lokdwng hejar angu go naarwksinv pakbu angv aatoku okv hejar angu go paatam nam hum laklwk toku, okv minto, ‘Atu, no ngam lokdwng hejar angu go jito, okv kaatoka! siinv ngo kvvbi hejar angu gudv ngo paalwk pvkunv.’
21 Inkosi yayo yasisithi kiyo: Kuhle, nceku elungileyo lethembekileyo, ubuthembekile ezintweni ezinlutshwana, ngizakubeka phezu kwezinengi; ngena entokozweni yenkosi yakho.
‘Alvbv ripv, no alvnvgo okv jwkjwkvrwknv pakbu go!’ ninyigv atuv minto, ‘No miangnv morko nga alvbv mvjinmvtapv, vkvlvgabv ngo nam kainv morko nga kaaya modubv jire. Aatoka, soka okv ngoogv himpua pumin gvlaka!
22 Kwasekusiza laleyo eyayemukele amathalenta amabili yathi: Nkosi, wanginika amathalenta amabili; khangela, ngizuzile amanye amathalenta amabili phezu kwawo.
Vbvrikunamv pakbu morko lokdwng hejar anyigo jinam angv aala okv minto, ‘Atu, no nga lokdwng hejar anyigo jito. Kaatoka, vjak ngo hejar anyi godv paalwk pvkunv.’
23 Inkosi yayo yathi kiyo: Kuhle, nceku elungileyo lethembekileyo, ubuthembekile ezintweni ezinlutshwana, ngizakubeka phezu kwezinengi; ngena entokozweni yenkosi yakho.
‘Alvbv ripv, no alvnvgo okv jwkjwkvrwknv pakbu go!’ ninyigv atuv minto. ‘No miangnv morko nga alvbv mvjinmvtapv, vkvlvgabv ngo nam kainv morko nga rigv modubv jire. Aatoka, okv ngoogv himpu lo pumin gvlaka!’
24 Kodwa kweza laleyo eyayemukele ithalenta elilodwa yathi: Nkosi, bengikwazi wena ukuthi ungumuntu olukhuni, uvuna lapho ongahlanyelanga khona, njalo ubutha lapho ongahlakazanga khona;
Vbvrikunamv lokdwng hejar akin go naarwk sinv angv aala okv minto, ‘Tamsarbo, ngo chindu no raainv nyi go; no noogv rongo mvma kolo aam gvdu, okv no noogv aam chima kolo aam nvvdu.
25 ngasengisesaba, ngasuka ngalifihla ithalenta lakho emhlabathini; khangela, ulokwakho.
Vkvlvgabv ngo busula vngla noogv morko nga kvdw lo vvsi pvkunv. Kaatoka, siinv no gvngvku.’
26 Kodwa inkosi yayo yaphendula yathi kiyo: Nceku embi lelivila, ubusazi ukuthi ngivuna lapho engingahlanyelanga khona, njalo ngibutha lapho engingahlakazanga khona;
Ninyigv atuv ninyia mintoku, ‘No alvmanv okv svpenv pakbu go!’ ‘No nga rongo mvma kolo aam gvdubv okv aam chima kolo aam nvvdubv chindu ai?
27 ngakho ngabe ubekile imali yami ebhanga, njalo ekufikeni kwami ngabe ngemukele okwami lenzuzo.
Vbvriku nvgo yilo, alv rinvpv, no ngoogv morko nga morko benk lo lvktola ngoogv aakur rikulo kuu naatak la ngo naaku nvgo yilo.
28 Ngakho mthatheleni ithalenta, lilinike yena olamathalenta alitshumi.
Vjak morko nga nw gvlokv dvrit gvri kula nyi morko lokdwng hejar vring go doonv lo jitoka.
29 Ngoba wonke olakho uzaphiwa, uzakwengezelelwa; kodwa ongelakho uzathathelwa lalokho alakho.

30 Laleyonceku engasizi lutho iphoseleni emnyameni ongaphandle; kuzakuba khona lapho ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
Svbv alvmabv rinv pakbua—agum kanv kolo ninyia ora tvka; hoka nw kapla hijung nga hitwkkrwk sireku.’
31 Njalo nxa isiza iNdodana yomuntu ngobukhosi bayo, lengilosi ezingcwele zonke laye, khona izahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sodumo lwayo,
“Vdwlo Nyia Kuunyilo ngv Dvbv bv rila aarikudw okv nyidogindung mvnwngngv ninyia lvkobv aariku, nw ninyigv Dvbv dooging lo dootung reku,
32 kuzabuthelwa phambi kwayo izizwe zonke, njalo izabehlukanisa abanye kwabanye, njengomelusi esehlukanisa izimvu embuzini;

34 Khona-ke iNkosi izakuthi kubo abangakwesokunene sayo: Wozani, lina elibusisiweyo nguBaba, lidle ilifa lombuso eliwulungiselweyo kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba.

37 Khona abalungileyo bezayiphendula, besithi: Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, njalo sakunika ukudla, kumbe womile, njalo sakunathisa?
Alvnv nyi vdwv ninyia mirwk reku, ‘Ahtu, vdwlola, ngonu nam kano kvvbi kaapa namv okv nam dvmu kunamv vmalo tvngnwng kunam a tvngse go jinamv?

40 Futhi iNkosi izaphendula ithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba likwenzile komunye walaba abazalwane bami abancinyane, likwenzile kimi.
Dvbv ngv mirwk reku, ‘Ngo nonua minpa jidunv, vdwlo nonu ngoogv nyi miang nvgo nyika so vdw sum riku bolo, hv ngo lvgabv rinam vku!’
41 Ngalesosikhathi izakuthi njalo kubo abangakwesokhohlo: Sukani kimi, lina eliqalekisiweyo, liye emlilweni olaphakade, olungiselwe udiyabhola lengilosi zakhe. (aiōnios g166)
