UMathewu 7
1 Lingehluleli, ukuze lingehlulelwa,
“Temusalanga musango, nammwe muleme okusalirwa omusango.
2 ngoba lizakwahlulelwa ngokwehlulela elehlulela ngakho; langesilinganiso elilinganisa ngaso, lizalinganiselwa ngaso lani.
Kubanga nga bwe musalira abalala nammwe bwe mujjanga okusalirwa. Ekigera kye mugereramu, nammwe kye muligererwamu.”
3 Kanti ukhangelelani ucezwana oluselihlweni lomfowenu, kodwa ungalunanzeleli ugodo olukwelakho ilihlo?
“Ofaayo ki ku kasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki kiramba?
4 Kumbe ungatsho njani kumfowenu ukuthi: Kahle ngikhuphe ucezwana oluselihlweni lakho; khangela kanti ugodo luselihlweni lakho?
Oyinza otya okugamba muganda wo nti, ‘Leka nkuggyeko akasasiro akakuli ku liiso,’ so nga ku liryo kuliko kisiki?
5 Mzenzisi, qala ukhuphe ugodo elihlweni lakho, khona-ke uzabona kuhle ukukhupha ucezwana elihlweni lomfowenu.
Munnanfuusi ggwe! Sooka oggyeko ekisiki ekiri ku liiso lyo olyoke olabe bulungi nga bw’oggyako akasasiro akali ku liiso lya muganda wo.”
6 Linganiki izinja okungcwele; lingaphoseli amapharele enu phambi kwezingulube, hlezi ziwanyathele ngenyawo zazo, besezitshibilika ziliklebhule.
“Temuddiranga bintu bitukuvu ne mubiwa embwa. N’embizzi temuzisuuliranga mayinja ag’omuwendo omungi, kubanga zigenda kugalinnyirira, n’oluvannyuma zikyuke zibalume.”
7 Celani, lizaphiwa; dingani, lizathola; qoqodani, lizavulelwa.
“Musabe, munaaweebwa. Munoonye, munaazuula. Era mukonkone munaggulirwawo.
8 Ngoba wonke ocelayo uyemukela, lodingayo uyathola, loqoqodayo uzavulelwa.
Kubanga buli asaba aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo.”
9 Kumbe nguwuphi kini ongathi, nxa indodana yakhe icela isinkwa, ayinike ilitshe?
“Oba muntu ki mu mmwe singa omwana we amusaba omugaati, ayinza okumuwa ejjinja?
10 Uba-ke icela inhlanzi, ayinike inyoka yini?
Oba singa asabye ekyennyanja, kitaawe ayinza okumuwa omusota?
11 Ngakho uba lina, elingababi, likwazi ukupha abantwana benu izipho ezinhle, uYihlo osemazulwini uzabapha kakhulu kangakanani izinto ezinhle abacela kuye?
Obanga mmwe abantu ababi musobola okuwa abaana bammwe ebirabo ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo okubawa ebirungi bye mumusaba?
12 Ngakho konke elithanda ukuthi abantu bakwenze kini, kwenzeni lani ngokunjalo kubo; ngoba lokhu kungumlayo labaprofethi.
Noolwekyo ebintu byonna bye mwagala abantu okubakoleranga, nammwe mubibakoleranga, kubanga ebyo bye biri mu mateeka ne mu bunnabbi.”
13 Ngenani ngesango elincinyane; ngoba isango likhulu, lendlela ibanzi eya ekubhujisweni, njalo banengi abangena ngalo;
“Muyingirire mu mulyango omufunda! Kubanga ekkubo erigenda mu kuzikirira ddene n’omulyango mugazi, n’abalonda ekkubo eryo bangi.
14 ngoba isango lincinyane, lendlela ilukhonjwana eya empilweni, njalo balutshwana abayitholayo.
Kubanga omulyango mufunda, n’ekkubo eridda eri obulamu ffunda, era n’abaliraba batono.”
15 Kodwa nanzelelani abaprofethi bamanga, abeza kini bembathise okwezimvu, kodwa ngaphakathi bazimpisi eziphangayo.
“Mwekuume abayigiriza ab’obulimba, abajja nga bambadde amaliba g’endiga, songa munda gy’emisege egigenda okubataagulataagula.
16 Lizabazi ngezithelo zabo; bayazikha yini izithelo zevini emeveni, kumbe imikhiwa ekhuleni oluhlabayo?
Mulibalabira ku bikolwa byabwe, ng’omuti bwe mugutegeerera ku bibala byagwo. Omuntu tayinza kunoga mizabbibu ku busaana oba okunoga ettiini ku mweramannyo.
17 Ngokunjalo sonke isihlahla esihle siyathela izithelo ezinhle; kodwa isihlahla esibi siyathela izithelo ezimbi;
Noolwekyo buli muti omulungi gubala ebibala ebirungi, naye omuti omuvundu gubala ebibala ebibi.
18 isihlahla esihle singethele izithelo ezimbi, lesihlahla esibi singethele izithelo ezinhle.
Omuti omulungi teguyinza kubala bibala bibi, n’omuti omuvundu teguyinza kubala bibala birungi.
19 Sonke isihlahla esingatheli isithelo esihle siyaganyulwa siphoselwe emlilweni.
Omuti gwonna ogutabala bibala birungi gutemebwa ne gusuulibwa mu muliro.
20 Ngakho-ke lizabazi ngezithelo zabo.
Noolwekyo mulibategeerera ku bibala byabwe.”
21 Kakusibo bonke abatshoyo kimi ukuthi: Nkosi, Nkosi, abazangena embusweni wamazulu; kodwa lowo oyenzayo intando kaBaba osemazulwini.
“Si bonna abampita nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe,’ be baliyingira obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, wabula abo bokka abakola ebyo Kitange ali mu ggulu by’ayagala.
22 Abanengi bazakuthi kimi ngalolosuku: Nkosi, Nkosi, kasiprofethanga yini ngelakho ibizo, sakhupha amadimoni ngelakho ibizo, senza imisebenzi elamandla eminengi ngelakho ibizo?
Ku lunaku Iuli bangi baliŋŋamba nti, ‘Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe, twayogeranga eby’obunnabbi mu linnya lyo, era ne tugoba ne baddayimooni mu linnya lyo, ne tukola n’ebyamagero bingi mu linnya lyo.’
23 Njalo khona ngizakutsho obala kubo ukuthi: Angizanga ngilazi; sukani kimi lina benzi bobubi.
Ndibaddamu nti, ‘Sibamanyi, muve mu maaso gange, kubanga ebikolwa byammwe byali bibi.’”
24 Ngakho wonke owezwayo la amazwi ami njalo awenze, ngizamfananisa lendoda ehlakaniphileyo, eyakha indlu yayo phezu kwedwala;
“Noolwekyo buli awulira ebigambo byange, n’abikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja ow’amagezi eyazimba enju ye ku lwazi.
25 laselisina izulu, kwasekufika impophoma, kwasekuvunguza imimoya, yayitshaya leyondlu; kodwa kayiwanga; ngoba yayisekelwe phezu kwedwala.
Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba enju eyo naye n’etegwa kubanga yazimbibwa ku lwazi.
26 Njalo wonke owezwayo la amazwi ami njalo angawenzi, uzafananiswa lendoda eyisithutha, eyakha indlu yayo phezu kwetshebetshebe;
Naye buli awulira ebigambo byange n’atabikola, alifaananyizibwa ng’omusajja omusirusiru eyazimba ennyumba ye mu musenyu.
27 laselisina izulu, kwasekufika impophoma, kwasekuvunguza imimoya yayitshaya leyondlu; yawa; kwaba kukhulu ukuwa kwayo.
Enkuba n’etonnya, emigga ne gikulukuta, omuyaga ne gujja, ne bikuba ennyumba eyo, n’egwa, n’okugwa kwayo ne kuba kunene.”
28 Kwasekusithi uJesu eseqedile lawomazwi, amaxuku ababaza ngemfundiso yakhe;
Awo Yesu n’amaliriza ebigambo bye ebyo. Abantu bonna ne beewuunya nnyo olw’okuyigiriza kwe.
29 ngoba wabafundisa njengolamandla, njalo kungenjengababhali.
Kubanga yabayigiriza nga nannyini buyinza, so si ng’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka baabwe bwe baayigirizanga.
