1 LiVangeli ngaJesu Khristu, iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu, licala kanje:
2 Encwadzini yemphrofethi Isaya kubhaliwe kutsi: “Nasi sigijimi sami, lengisitfumela kutsi sikuhambele embili sitekubholela indlela.
3 “Livi lalomemeta ehlane litsi: “ ‘Lungisani indlela yeNkhosi, nente imikhondvo yayo icondze.’ ”
4 Nangempela kwavela Johane uMbhabhatisi ehlane ashumayela bantfu atsi: “Phendvukani nibhajatiswe, Nkulunkulu utanitsetselela tono tenu.”
5 Bonkhe bantfu besifundza saseJudiya nebaseJerusalema babephuma bayewulalela Johane. Babetsi bangefika ababhabhatise emfuleni iJordane, bavume tono tabo.
6 Johane abembatsa ingubo leyayentiwe ngeboya belikamela atibophe ngelibhande lesikhumba elukhalweni, abedla tintsetse neluju lwetinyosi tesiganga.
7 Abeshumayela atsi: “Kukhona lota emvakwami, lonemandla kakhulu kunami. Mine angikafaneli nekutsi ngigobondzele ngitfukulule imichilo yeticatfulo takhe.
8 Mine benginibhabhatisa ngemanti, kepha yena utanibhabhatisa ngaMoya Longcwele.”
9 Kulawo malanga Jesu wefika aphuma eNazaretha yaseGalile, naye wabhajatiswa nguJohane eJordane.
10 Watsi uyaphuma nje Jesu emantini, wabona lizulu livuleka naMoya Longcwele ehlela etikwakhe anjengelituba.
11 Kwevakala livi livela ezulwini litsi: “Wena uyiNdvodzana yami lengiyitsandzako. Ngiyatfokota ngawe.”
12 Masinyane Moya Longcwele wachubela Jesu ehlane.
13 Kwaphela emalanga langema-40 asehlane, alingwa nguSathane. Jesu bekahlala emkhatsini wetilwane tesiganga. Tingilosi tatimsita kuloko labekudzinga.
14 Emvakwekuboshwa kwaJohane Jesu waya eGalile, ahamba ashumayela liVangeli laNkulunkulu.
15 Abetsi: “Sikhatsi sesifikile, umbuso waNkulunkulu sewusondzele. Phendvukani nikholwe liVangeli.”
16 Kwatsi Jesu asahamba agudla Lwandle lwaseGalile, wabona boSimoni bana-Andreya, umnakabo, badweba tinhlanti ngelinetha; phela bebabadwebi.
17 Jesu watsi kubo: “Ngilandzeleni, ngitawunenta nibe badwebi bebantfu.”
18 Masinyane bashiya emanetha abo, bamlandzela.
19 Jesu watsi nasachubachubekile, wakhandza boJakobe naJohane, emadvodzana aZebedi. Bebasesikebheni balungisa emanetha abo.
20 Watsi kube ababone Jesu, wababita nabo, base bayamlandzela, bashiya uyise, Zebedi, asesikebheni kanye netisebenti labeticashile.
21 Bahamba-ke baze bangena eKhaphanawume. Kwatsi kube kufike liSabatha, Jesu wangena esinagogeni wafundzisa bantfu.
22 Kwabamangalisa kufundzisa kwakhe, ngobe wabafundzisa njengalonemandla, hhayi njengetati tabo temtsetfo.
23 Masinyane kwevakala umuntfu labenelidimoni esinagogeni labo, akhala amemeta,
24 atsi: “Ufunani kitsi, Jesu waseNazaretha? Sewutesibhubhisa yini? Ngiyakwati kutsi ungubani. UnguLongcwele waNkulunkulu.”
25 Jesu walekhuta watsi: “Thula! Phuma kuye!”
26 Lelidimoni lamklinklitisa lomuntfu, lakhala limemeta laphuma kuye.
27 Bonkhe bantfu bamangala betfuka, kangangoba badzimate babutana bodvwana batsi: “Seyini-ke le? Yimfundziso lensha lenemandla. Kantsi nemadimoni uyawekhuta amlalele!”
28 Masinyane tidvumo taJesu tandza nalo lonkhe laseGalile.
29 Base bayaphuma esinagogeni baya kaSimoni na-Andreya; bahamba naJakobe naJohane.
30 Umkhwekati waSimoni abelele embhedzeni aphetfwe ngumkhuhlane. Watsi kube efike Jesu, bambikela ngaye.
31 Waya kuye, wamphakamisa ambambe ngesandla. Umkhuhlane wesuka kuye, waphila, wase ubalungisela kudla.
32 Kwatsi kusihlwa selishonile baletsa kuJesu bonkhe lababegula nalababephetfwe ngemadimoni.
33 Bonkhe bantfu bakulelo dolobha babutsana ngasemnyango.
34 Jesu waphilisa bantfu labanyenti lababephetfwe tinhlobonhlobo tetifo, wakhipha nemadimoni lamanyenti. Akawavumelanga emadimoni kutsi akhulume, ngobe abemati.
35 Ekuseni kusemnyama kakhulu Jesu wavuka wahamba, waphumela ngephandle kwelidolobha waya ehlane, lapho afike wathandaza khona.
36 BoSimoni nalabenabo baphuma sebayawumfuna.
37 Batsi kube bamtfole, bamtjela batsi: “Bonkhe bantfu bayakufuna.”
38 Kepha Jesu watsi kubo: “Asichubekele kulamanye emadolobha lasedvutane kuze ngishumayele nakhona, ngobe ngulowo umsebenti wami lengiwutele.”
39 Wahamba kulo lonkhe laseGalile, ashumayela emasinagogeni abo, akhipha nemadimoni.
40 Kwasondzela umuntfu labenebulephelo, wancenga Jesu aguce embikwakhe watsi: “Nkhosi, nawutsandza, ungangihlambulula.”
41 Jesu wamhawukela, welula sandla sakhe, wamphatsa watsi: “Ngiyatsandza, hlambuluka.”
42 Masinyane bulephelo baphela, wahlambuluka.
43 Jesu wamdvonsa ngendlebe amfica,
44 watsi kuye: “Caphelisisa-ke, ungacali ukhulume kumuntfu ngaloku; hamba uye kumphristi akuhlole, bese ukhipha umnikelo wekubonga lokuhlanjululwa kwakho, njengaloku Mosi ayala, khona bonkhe bantfu batawuciniseka kutsi uhlambulukile.”
45 Kepha lomuntfu wahamba ayifafata lendzaba, yandza kakhulu, kangangekutsi Jesu abengasakhoni kungena nakulinye nje lidolobha abonwa bantfu. Abesatihlalela emaphandleni nje, kepha bantfu labanyenti babeta kuye bachamuka magangana onkhe.
1 Emvakwemalangana Jesu wabuyela eKhaphanawume; kwevakala kutsi ubuyile ekhaya.
2 Kwakungasibantfu nje lababeta kuye, kwadzimate kwasweleka nendzawo yekufaka lunyawo endlini, ngisho nangephandle emnyango. Abebashumayela livi laNkulunkulu.
3 Kwaletfwa kuye umuntfu labefe luhlangotsi, etfwelwe ngemadvodza lamane.
4 Behluleka kumsondzeta edvute naJesu ngenca yemminyaminya wesicuku, ngako base bavula sikhala eluphahleni lwendlu macondzana naJesu, bamehlisa ngeluhlaka lwakhe, bambeka embikwaJesu.
5 Jesu abona kukholwa kwabo, watsi kuye: “Mntfwanami, tono takho titsetselelwe.”
6 Letinye tati temtsetfo, letatihleti lapho, tatitibuta etinhlitiyweni tato titsi:
7 “Lomuntfu wentiwa yini lokutsi akhulume kanjena? Wetfuka Nkulunkulu. Ngubani longatsetselela tono ngaphandle kwaNkulunkulu?”
8 Kona loko Jesu wati emoyeni wakhe kutsi bacabangani, ngako watsi kubo: “Nizindlelani kanjalo?
9 Ngukuphi lokulula kukusho kulona lofe luhlangotsi kutsi: ‘Utsetselelwe tono takho’, nome kutsi: ‘Sukuma utsatse luhlaka lwakho uhambe’?
10 Ngitanikhombisa-ke kutsi mine, Ndvodzana yeMuntfu, nginemandla ekutsetselela tono emhlabeni.” Wase utsi kulesigulane:
11 “Ngitsi kuwe: Sukuma utsatse luhlaka lwakho, uhambe uye ekhaya.”
12 Ngekushesha lomuntfu wasukuma watsatsa luhlaka lwakhe, wahamba bonkhe bambukile. Bamangala bonkhe, badvumisa Nkulunkulu, batsi: “Asizange sesikubone lokunje.”
13 Jesu waphindze waphuma waya ngaseLwandle lwaseGalile. Bantfu labanyenti beta babutsana kuye, wabafundzisa.
14 Watsi uyendlula ngasendzaweni yekutsela, wabona Levi, umsa wa-Alfiyose, ahleti, asebenta, wase utsi kuye: “Kota ungilandzele.” Levi wasukuma wahamba naye.
15 Jesu wase uyakudla ekhaya kaLevi. Batselisi labanyenti naletinye toni bebalandzela Jesu. Ngako-ke labanyenti babo bangena naye endlini kaLevi, badla naye kanye nebafundzi bakhe.
16 Tati temtsetfo telicembu lebaFarisi tambona adla netoni nebatselisi, tabuta bafundzi bakhe tatsi: “Kwentiwa yini kutsi adle netoni kanye nebatselisi?”
17 Jesu wakuva loko watsi kuto: “Akusibo bantfu labaphilile labadzinga inyanga, kodvwa ngulabagulako kuphela. Angiketeli kutawubita labalungile, kodvwa ngitele kubita toni.”
18 Ngesikhatsi bafundzi baJohane uMbhabhatisi kanye nebaFarisi bazile kudla, labanye bantfu beta kuJesu bambuta batsi: “Bafundzi baJohane kanye nebebaFarisi bayakuzila kudla. Kwentiwa yini kutsi laba bakho bangazili?”
19 Wabaphendvula Jesu watsi: “Likhetfo lingakuzila yini kudla emshadweni umkhwenyane lisamsingatsile? Cha, lingeke likuzile nasoloku umkhwenyane analo.
20 Kodvwa kuyawufika sikhatsi lapho liyakwemukwa khona umkhwenyane, kulapho-ke liyawuzila khona.
21 “Ingubo lendzala ayichitjelwa ngesichibi lesisha. Nakungentiwa njalo, lesichibi lesisha singadzabula lengubo lendzala, kwenteke imbobo lenkhulu kuneyakucala.
22 Liwayini lelisha alitselwa kuso sikhumbasikhwama lesidzala, ngobe nakungentiwa njalo, lesikhumbasikhwama singapumuka, kucitseke leliwayini. Esikhundleni saloko liwayini lelisha kufanele litselwe kuso sikhumbasikhwama lesisha, kuze kutsi kokubili kuphatsane kahle.”
23 Ngalelinye liSabatha Jesu abehamba ngendlela ledzabula emkhatsini wemasimi akolo, akanye nebafundzi bakhe, besuka bona bafula.
24 BaFarisi base batsi kuye: “Asubuke-ke labafundzi bakho! Bakwentelani ngeliSabatha loku lokungakavunyelwa ngumtsetfo?”
25 Wabaphendvula Jesu watsi: “Angitsi nafundza kutsi Davide wentani mzukwane asadzinga kudla, yena kanye nalamadvodza labehamba nawo sebalambile?
26 Wangena endlini yaNkulunkulu ngesikhatsi kuphetse Abiyatha, umPhristi Lomkhulu, wadla tinkhwa lekwakunikelwe ngato kuNkulunkulu, nome kwakungakavunyelwa ngekwemtsetfo kutsi tidliwe ngulomunye umuntfu ngaphandle kwebaphristi kuphela. Kepha Davide watidla, wapha nalamadvodza labehamba nawo.”
27 Jesu wachubeka watsi kubo: “LiSabatha lamiselwa kuphumuta bantfu; bantfu abamiselwanga kugcilatwa liSabatha.
28 Ngako-ke iNdvodzana yeMuntfu iyiNkhosi ngisho neyalo liSabatha.”
1 Waphindza Jesu wangena esinagogeni, bekunemuntfu labenesandla lesishwaphene.
2 Bekukhona lababefuna kubeka Jesu licala, ngako-ke bamcaphelisisa kutsi utawumphilisa yini lomuntfu, njengobe kwakuliSabatha nje.
3 Jesu watsi kulomuntfu labenesandla lesishwaphene: “Sukuma ute la ngembili.”
4 Wabuta kubo watsi: “Kulungile yini kwenta lokuhle ngeliSabatha, nome kwenta lokubi, kusita umuntfu nome kumyekelela aze afe?” Kepha bathula.
5 Wabatsi cala cala, acansukile, wadzabuka ngobe tinhlitiyo tabo tatilukhuni, tinenkhani, wase utsi kulomuntfu: “Yelula sandla sakho!” Waselula, saphila.
6 Masinyane baFarisi baphuma esinagogeni, bayawuhlanganisa tinhloko nemaHerodi, bakha lisu lekubulala Jesu.
7 Jesu wahamba nebafundzi bakhe baya ngaseLwandle LwaseGalile. Ticumbi tebantfu letatiphuma eGalile naseJudiya tamlandzela.
8 Letinye ticumbi tatiphuma eJerusalema, nase-Idumiya, nangesheya kweJordane, nangasemadolobheni aseThire naseSidoni. Tonkhe leticumbi tatite kuye, ngobe tative ngaloko abekwenta.
9 Jesu watjela bafundzi bakhe kutsi bamlungisele sikebhe, hleze sicumbi sebantfu simminyetele.
10 Loko wakwenta emvakwekuphilisa labanyenti. Bonkhe lababenetifo babephangelana kuye batewumtsintsa.
11 Lababenemadimoni babetsi bangambona, baguce embikwakhe bamemete batsi: “Wena uyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu!”
12 Kepha Jesu wabadvonsa ngendlebe kutsi bangamhlakati ebantfwini.
13 Jesu wase ukhuphukela entsabeni. Wababita labo labefuna kubatfuma; beta kuye.
14 Wabamisa baba li-12, lababetawuba naye, [wabetsa watsi baphostoli,] wabatfuma kutsi bayewushumayela,
15 wabapha nemandla ekukhipha emadimoni.
16 Naba-ke laba labali-12 labakhetsa: Simoni, lametsa watsi nguPhetro;
17 boJakobe naJohane, emadvodzana aZebedi, labetsa watsi boBhowanegese, lokusho kutsi “Emadvodzana Ekudvuma Kwelitulu”;
18 na-Andreya, naFiliphu, naBhatalomewu, naMatewu, naTomasi, naJakobe, umsa wa-Alfiyose, naThadiyosi, naSimoni, wephathi yemaKhenani,
19 naJudasi Skariyothi labetamtsengisa.
20 Jesu wase uyesuka ubuyela ekhaya. Ticumbi taphindze tabutsana ngalokwengcile, kangangekutsi Jesu kanye nebafundzi bakhe badzimate baswela ngisho sikhatsi sekudla.
21 Bakubo batsi kube bakuve loko, baphutfuma bamlandza, ngobe kwase kutsiwa: “Usangene ingcondvo!”
22 Kepha tati temtsetfo letatichamuka eJerusalema tatsi: “UnaBhelzebule,” labanye batsi: “Yinkhosi yemadimoni lena lakhipha ngayo emadimoni.”
23 Jesu wababita, wakhuluma nabo ngemifanekiso atsi: “Kodvwa Sathane angamcosha njani Sathane?
24 Nangabe umbuso wehlukene ekhatsi, lowo mbuso ngeke ume.
25 Nangabe likhaya lehlukene ekhatsi, alichubi.
26 Nangabe umbuso waSathane wehlukene ekhatsi, sewuvukelana kwawona, ungeke ume, kodvwa uyakuwa uphele.
27 “Kute umuntfu longagcekeza indlu yesichwaga aphange timphahla taso, ngaphandle kwekutsi acale ngekubamba sona asibophe; emvakwaloko-ke angangena aphange timphahla endlini yaso.
28 “Ngiyacinisa ngitsi kini: Tonkhe tono tebantfu tiyawutsetselelwa, nome ngabe sebahlambalate kangakanani;
29 kodvwa umuntfu lohlambalata Moya Longcwele, ngeke atsetselelwe nanini, kepha unelicala laphakadze.”
30 Jesu wakusho loko, ngobe labanye bebatsi unelidimoni.
31 Kwase kufika unina waJesu nabomnakabo bema ngephandle, base batfumela livi kutsi abambite.
32 Bantfu babegcwele batungelete Jesu bahleti phansi, base bayambikela batsi: “Nangu unyoko la ngephandle nabomnakenu, [nabodzadzewenu] bafuna wena.”
33 Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Ngubani make? Bobani bomnaketfu?”
34 Wacalata ababuka bonkhe labebasedvute naye watsi: “Nangu make nabomnaketfu.
35 Ngobe wonkhe lowenta intsandvo yaNkulunkulu ngumnaketfu, nadzadzewetfu, namake.”
1 Jesu waphindza futsi wafundzisa bantfu eceleni kweLwandle lwaseGalile. Ticuku ngeticuku tebantfu tabutsana ngakuye, wadzimate wakhwela wahlala esikebheni lesasiselwandle, bantfu bema elusentseni lwelwandle.
2 Wabafundzisa tintfo letinyenti ngemifanekiso atsi:
3 “Lalelani la: Umuntfu lotsite wake wahamba wayawuhlanyela.
4 Kwatsi ngesikhatsi ahlanyela, lenye inhlanyelo yawela endleleni, kwefika tinyoni tayidla.
5 Lenye yawela edvwaleni lelalimbonywe ngumhlabashana, yashesha yamila, ngobe lomhlabashana bewungemnyenti.
6 Kwefika lilanga labalela, latishisa letitfombo, tabuna ngobe timphandze tato tatingakashoni ngalokwenele.
7 Lenye yawela elukhuleni lwemanyeva, lwakhula lwaminyetela titfombo ngemanyeva alo tangabe tisatsela.
8 Lenye yawela emhlabatsini lovundzile, yamila kahle, yakhula, yatsela titselo: lenye ngema-30, lenye ngema-60, lenye ngelikhulu.”
9 Jesu wephetsa ngekutsi: “Lonendlebe yekuva akeve.”
10 Kwatsi Jesu asasele nebafundzi bakhe lababeli-12 nalabanye lababemlandzela, bambuta ngalemifanekiso.
11 Waphendvula watsi: “Nine niphiwe imfihlakalo yembuso waNkulunkulu, kodvwa laba labangephandle konkhe bakutfola ngemifanekiso,
12 kuze kutsi: “ ‘Nome babona, bangakhanyelwa kahle, nome beva, bangacacelwa kahle, bangetiwuphendvuka babuyele kuNkulunkulu, batsetselelwe tono tabo.’ ”
13 Jesu watsi kubo: “Nisho kutsi nani lomfanekiso aniwuva? Pho, nitayiva kanjani leminye imifanekiso?
14 Umhlanyeli uhlanyela livi laNkulunkulu.
15 Kuhlanyelwa kwaleyo leyawela endleleni kufanekisa labo labatsi bangaliva livi, masinyane kufike Sathane alitsatse lelivi lelihlanyelwe kubo.
16 Kuhlanyelwa kwaleyo leyawela emadvwaleni kufanekisa labo labatsi bangaliva livi basheshe balemukele ngekujabula,
17 kepha babe bate timphandze letishona ngalokwenele, balibamba kwesikhashana nje, batsi ngekuhlaselwa tilingo netinhlupheko ngenca yalo basheshe bahlubuke.
18 Kuhlanyelwa kwaleyo leyawela emanyeveni kufanekisa labo labalivako livi,
19 kepha kunaka tintfo tasemhlabeni nekujabulela umcebo, nekukhangwa nguletinye tintfo letinyenti kubangene, kuliminyetele livi, bangabe basatsela titselo.
20 Kuhlanyelwa emhlabatsini lovundzile kufanekisa labo labalivako livi balemukele batsele titselo: ngema-30 nome ngema-60 nome ngelikhulu.”
21 Wachubeka Jesu watsi: “Kodvwa kuke kwenteke yini kutsi kokhelwe sibane siletfwe endlini, bese simbonywa ngesitja nome sifakwe phansi kwembhedze? Singete sabekwa endzaweni yaso yini?
22 Konkhe lokufihlakele kuyawuvetwa ebaleni, naloko lokumbonyiwe kuyawugwatjulwa.
23 Lonendlebe yekuva akeve.”
24 Wachubeka watsi: “Caphelani inshokutsini yaloku lenikuvako. Leso silinganiso lenilinganisa ngaso nani niyawulinganiswa ngaso, nibuye nengetelwe futsi.
25 Lowo lonako uyakwengetelwa; lowo lote uyakwemukwa naloko lokuncane lanako.”
26 Jesu wachubeka watsi: “Umbuso waNkulunkulu ufanana nanaku: Umuntfu usakata inhlanyelo ensimini yakhe,
27 ebusuku uyalala, emini avuke, nenhlanyelo iyamila ikhule, kodvwa yena abe angati kutsi ikhula njani.
28 Umhlaba ngekwawo uveta kudla: Kucala kube likhaba, bese kuyabhaceka, kube netibhuluja leticinile,
29 kuyaye kutsi kungoma, kutsatfwe lisikela kuyewuvunwa, ngobe sikhatsi sekuvuna sesifikile.”
30 Jesu wabuta watsi: “Kodvwa umbuso waNkulunkulu singawufananisa nani nje? Singawubekisa ngani kodvwa?
31 Unjengenhlanyelo yendlulamitsi lencane kakhulu.
32 Kepha umuntfu nakayihlanyela emhlabatsini, itsi ingamila, ikhule ibe sihlahla lesikhulu lesiveta emagala lamakhulu lanemtfunti, ngisho netinyoni tesiganga tifike takhe tidleke tato kuso.”
33 Jesu abekhuluma kubantfu ngemifanekiso leminyenti lenjalo, abashumayela livi ngalokubalingene kutsi bakuve.
34 Abengakhulumi lutfo angasebentisi imifanekiso, kantsi nase babodvwana nebafundzi bakhe, bona abebachazela konkhe.
35 Kusihlwa ngalelo langa Jesu watjela bafundzi bakhe watsi: “Aseweleleni ngesheya kwelwandle.”
36 Besuka basishiya sicumbi sebantfu, bahamba ngalesikebhe labekuso. Bekunaletinye tikebhe letatihambisana nalesabo.
37 Kwesuka lesikhulu sivunguvungu, emagagasi angena esikebheni adzimate acishe asigcwalisa.
38 Jesu abengemuva esikebheni, acamele emcamelweni, alele. Bamvusa batsi: “Mfundzisi, walala nje sifa?”
39 Wavuka wekhuta lomoya watsi kulolwandle: “Thula, utsi nya!” Umoya wakhawula khona lapho, kwathula kwatsi nya.
40 Watsi kubafundzi: “Nesabani kodvwa? Nentiwa yini lokutsi nibete kukholwa?”
41 Bafikelwa kwesaba lokukhulu; kwaba ngulowo wabuta lomunye atsi: “Kantsi ngubani lona? Wekhuta umoya ngisho nelwandle kumlalele!”
1 Base bewelela ngesheya kweLwandle LwaseGalile eveni laseGerasa.
2 Watsi Jesu uyaphuma nje esikebheni, wahlangabetwa yindvodza lebeyinelidimoni iphuma emathuneni,
3 lapho yase ihlala khona. Kwase kute namunye umuntfu labengakhona kuyibopha ngisho nangetinketane.
4 Beyike yetanywa ngaphambili kutsi iboshwe ngetindilimo nangetinketane, kodvwa beyitidzabula incamule naletinketane tibe ticucu. Kute labenemandla ekuyehlula.
5 Busuku nemini beyikhala impongoloze etintsabeni nasemathuneni, itihhwebhe ngematje.
6 Yatsi nayibona Jesu abucalu, yesuka ngematubane yaya kuye yafika yamkhotsama ikhuleka.
7 Yamemeta ngelivi lelikhulu yatsi: “Ufunani kimi wena, Jesu, Ndvodzana yaNkulunkulu Losetikwako Konkhe? Mane ungangihluphi!”
8 Yakusho loku, ngobe Jesu abesatsite kuyo: “Phuma dimoni kulomuntfu!”
9 Jesu wase uyabuta utsi: “Ungubani libito lakho?” Yamphendvula yatsi: “Libito lami nguSibanyenti, ngobe silibutfo.”
10 Emadimoni ase ancenga Jesu kutsi angawacoshi kulelo live.
11 Bekukhona umhlambi lomkhulu wetihhontji kuleyo ndzawo utse bhidli, udla eceleni lentsaba.
12 Yase iyatincengela lemimoya lemibi itsi: “Mane usitfumele lapha etihhontjini singene kuto.”
13 Wayivumela. Yaphuma-ke imimoya lemibi kulowo muntfu yangena etihhontjini. Wonkhe lowo mhlambi lowawungahle ube tihhontji letiti-2 000 wagijima, wahholokoshela eweni, wagcumkela elwandle, wacwila, wafa.
14 Bantfu lababeluse letingulube babaleka bayawubika kubantfu edolobheni nasemaphandleni. Bantfu beta batawutibonela loko lokwase kwentekile.
15 Befika kuJesu bayibona lendvodza lebeyikadze inemadimoni, lebeyibitwa ngekutsi nguSibanyenti. Beyihleti phansi, yembetse kahle, isangulukile nasemcondvweni. Betfuka, besaba.
16 Labo lababebonile babachazela konkhe lokwakwentekile kulomuntfu labenemadimoni, nalokwakwentekile etihhontjini.
17 Base bancenga Jesu kutsi akesuke eveni labo.
18 Kwatsi Jesu nakakhwela esikebheni, lendvodza lebeyinemadimoni yacela kuJesu kutsi ihambe naye.
19 Kepha Jesu wala, watsi kuyo: “Buyela ekhaya kubantfu bakini, ubatjele kutsi iNkhosi ikwentele tintfo letinkhulu kangakanani, nekutsi ikuhawukele kanjani.”
20 Yahamba-ke lendvodza yacala kumemetela eDekhapholisi kutsi Jesu uyentele tintfo letinkhulu kangakanani. Bonkhe bamangala nabakuva loko.
21 Jesu wewela ngesikebhe wabuyela ngesheya kwelwandle. Sicuku lesikhulu sebantfu seta kuye ngaselwandle.
22 Kwefika kuye indvodza, libito layo kunguJayiru, umphatsi welisinagoge, yanelela kubona Jesu yatilahla phansi embikwakhe.
23 Yamncenga yatsi: “Indvodzakati yami lencane igulela kufa, sekubonwa ngekusa. Mane ute uteyibeka tandla itekusindza iphile.”
24 Jesu wavuma wahamba nayo. Sicumbi lesikhulu sebantfu samlandzela simkakile.
25 Bekukhona umfati labegula, aphetfwe sifo sekopha, lesase sicedze iminyaka leli-12 simphetse.
26 Abesagule kakhulu, asaphelelwe timali kulabelaphako, angasenalutfo esandleni, kodvwa kujinge kubete buncono, kugula kuya embili.
27 Abesake weva tidvumo ngaJesu, ngako watfumbeleta ngemuva kwaJesu watsintsa ingubo yakhe,
28 ngobe wacabanga watsi: “Nangingamane nje ngitsintse ingubo yakhe, ngitawuphila.”
29 Kopha kwancamuka khona lapho, wativa asaphilile esifeni lebesimphetse.
30 Masinyane Jesu wativela kutsi kukhona emandla lasaphumile kuye, wagucuka, wacalata, watsi: “Ngubani lotsintse ingubo yami?”
31 Bafundzi bakhe batsi kuye: “Hhawu, ungatsi usibona nje lesiminyaminya lesikukakile ube utsi: ‘Ngubani lotsintse ingubo yami?’ ”
32 Wacalata afuna kubona kutsi ngubani lona lomtsintsile.
33 Kodvwa lomfati ati kahle kutsi kwentekeni kuye, wasondzela ngembili achachatela, ngenca yekwesaba, waguca phansi embikwakhe, wamtjela lonkhe liciniso.
34 Jesu watsi kuye: “Ndvodzakati yami, kukholwa kwakho kukuphilisile. Hamba ngekuthula, uphile esifeni sakho.”
35 Asakhuluma nje Jesu, kwefika tigijimi tiphuma kaJayiru tambikela tatsi: “Indvodzakati yakho seyifile. Sale umyekela loMfundzisi, ungasamhluphi.”
36 Kodvwa Jesu, angakunaki loku letatikusho, watsi kuJayiro: “Ungesabi, kholwa kuphela.”
37 Jesu wesuka lapho wahamba; wabalela bonkhe kutsi bamlandzele, ngaphandle kwaboPhetro, naJakobe, naJohane, umnakaboJakobe.
38 Batsi nabefika endlini yalomphatsi welisinagoge, beva sililo kutse mpu, bantfu bakhala.
39 Watsi kube angene, watsi kubo: “Nikhalelani, nidzindza sililo nje? Lomntfwana akafi, ulele.”
40 Bamane bamhleka bulima nje. Wabakhiphela ngephandle bonkhe, watsatsa uyise nenina walomntfwana, nalabo labebanaye, wangena nabo lapho bekunemntfwana khona.
41 Wafike wabamba lomntfwana ngesandla, watsi kuye: “Thalitha, khumi,” lokusho kutsi: “Ntfombatana, ngitsi kuwe: Vuka!”
42 Intfombatana yasukuma masinyane, yahamba. Bese ineminyaka leli-12 budzala. Masinyane bantfu behlelwa kwesaba nekumangala lokukhulu.
43 Jesu wabayalisisa kutsi bangatjeli muntfu ngaloku. Watsi abayiphe kudla lentfombatana.
1 Jesu wesuka lapho wabuyela endzaweni yakubo, bafundzi bakhe bamlandzela.
2 Kwatsi ngeliSabatha wacala wafundzisa esinagogeni. Labanyenti labamuva bamangala, batsi: “Lomuntfu wakutsatsaphi konkhe loku? Nhlakanipho lenjani lena layiphiwe? Letimangaliso letingaka utenta kanjani?
3 Akusiye yini umbati, indvodzana yaMariya, umnakaboJakobe, naJose, naJudasi, naSimoni? Angitsi bodzadzewabo balapha emkhatsini wetfu?” Base bayamcansukela.
4 Jesu watsi kubo: “Umphrofethi uyahlonipheka kuyo yonkhe indzawo ngaphandle kwaseveni lakubo nakubantfu bakubo, ngisho nakubemndeni wakubo imbala.”
5 Akakhonanga kwenta imisebenti yemandla kuleyo ndzawo ngaphandle kwekutsi nje wabeka tandla kulabambalwa lababegula, wabaphilisa.
6 Wamangaliswa kungakholwa kwabo. Jesu abehamba angenela imiti ngemiti yangakubo afundzisa bantfu.
7 Wabita bafundzi labali-12 watsi abete kuye. Wabatfuma ngababili, wabanika emandla ekukhipha imimoya lemibi kubantfu.
8 Wabayala kutsi bangaphatsi lutfo lwendlela ngaphandle kweludvondvolo; watsi bangasiphatsi ngisho nesinkhwa, nome sikhwama sekucela, nome imali etipatjini tabo.
9 Kodvwa watsi bafake tincabule, bangatihlindzekeli ngeliyembe lesibili.
10 Watsi kubo: “Nabaningenisa endlini, nibohlala kuleyondlu, nize nihambe kuleyo ndzawo.
11 Nakukhona lapho banganemukeli khona bangavumi nekunilalela, nibobashiya nihambe, nitsintsitse lutfuli etinyaweni tenu, kuze kube bufakazi bekunala kwabo.”
12 Bahamba-ke baphostoli bashumayela bantfu kutsi baphendvuke.
13 Bakhipha emadimoni lamanyenti kubantfu, nalabanyenti lababegula babagcobisa ngemafutsa babaphilisa.
14 Inkhosi Herodi yakuva loko, ngobe ligama laJesu lase lidvume kakhulu. Labanye babetsi: “Johane uMbhabhatisi sewuvukile kulabafile. Ngiko nje enta letimangaliso letingaka.”
15 Kodvwa labanye babetsi: “Ngu-Elija.” Labanye batsi: “Ngumphrofethi njengalabanye baphrofethi bakadzeni.”
16 Kodvwa Herodi, nakeva ngesimo setintfo, watsi: “Johane, lengamjuba inhloko, sewuvusiwe, uyaphila.”
17 Herodi phela abesandza kutfumela kutsi kubanjwe Johane afakwe ejele. Abekwente loko, ngobe abesatsetse Herodiyasi, wamenta umkakhe. LoHerodiyasi abengumkaFiliphu, umnakaboHerodi.
18 Phela Johane abekhute Herodi watsi: “Umtsetfo awukuvumeli kutsi utsatse umfati wemnakenu, umente wakho.”
19 Nguko-ke Herodiyasi waba nemagcubu naJohane, afisa kutsi abulawe, kodvwa abete indlela.
20 Herodi bekamesaba Johane amati kahle kutsi ungumuntfu lolungile nalongcwele, ngako-ke abemvikela. Abetsi, nakamuva akhuluma, adzidzeke, noko ajabulele kumlalela.
21 Kodvwa litfuba lavuleka ngesikhatsi Herodi agubha lusuku lwakhe lwekutalwa. Wenta sibhimbi, wabita bonkhe bantfu besigodlo sakhe, netindvuna takhe temphi, kanye netiphakanyiswa taseGalile.
22 Indvodzakati yaHerodiyasi yeta yabagidzela kahle kakhulu. Herodi wajabula kanye netivakashi takhe, wadzimate watsi kulentfombatana: “Cela kimi nome ngabe yini lokufunako, ngitakupha kona.”
23 Wafunga watsi kuyo: “Nome yini lotayicela kimi, ngitakupha yona, nome ngabe yihhafu yembuso wami.”
24 Yaphumela ngephandle intfombatana yaya kuyawubuta kunina yatsi: “Ngingacelani?” Unina watsi: “Cela inhloko yaJohane uMbhabhatisi.”
25 Masinyane intfombatana yabuya igijima, yafika enkhosini yacela yatsi: “Ngifuna ungiphe nyalo nje inhloko yaJohane uMbhabhatisi, ibekwe emgcwembeni.”
26 Inkhosi yadzabuka kakhulu; kodvwa ngenca yesifungo, lebeseyisentile embikwetivakashi tayo, ayitsandzanga kusephula.
27 Masinyane inkhosi yatfumela lisotja kutsi aliletse inhloko yaJohane. Lahamba layawujuba inhloko yaJohane ejele.
28 Yaletfwa-ke inhloko yaJohane isemgcwembeni, yaniketwa intfombatana, intfombatana yayinika unina.
29 Batsi kube bakuve loko bafundzi baJohane, bahamba bayawutsatsa sidvumbu sakhe bayawusingcwaba.
30 Baphostoli babuya kuJesu bafike bambikela ngako konkhe lababekwentile nalababekufundzisile.
31 Watsi kubo: “Ase sibonane sodvwa, siphumule kancane.” Ngobe bekuphitsitela bantfu behla benyuka, loko kwenta kutsi Jesu nebafundzi bakhe babete nalesincane nje sikhatsi ngisho nesekudla imbala.
32 Ngako bahamba ngemkhumbi baya endzaweni lete bantfu, baba bodvwana.
33 Noko bantfu labanyenti bababona nase bahamba, babalandzela ngematubane, batsi phitsilili bavela kuwo onkhe emadolobha, baze befika kucala nakuleyo ndzawo abeya kuyo Jesu nebafundzi bakhe.
34 Watsi uyehla nje Jesu esikebheni wabona lesikhulu sicumbi sebantfu, wabahawukela ngobe bebanjengetimvu letite umelusi. Wabafundzisa ngetintfo letinyenti.
35 Kwatsi nase liyawushona, bafundzi bakhe beta kuye batsi: “Lendzawo ilihlane, kantsi futsi nelilanga seliya kunina.
36 Bahambise labantfu baye emitini nasemadolobhaneni lasedvute bayetitsengela kudla.”
37 Kepha Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Banikeni nine labangahle bakudle.” Batsi bona: “Singaya yini kuyawutsenga tinkhwa ngabodenariyo labangema-200 sibanikete badle?”
38 Watsi kubo: “Ase niyewuhlola kutsi ninetinkhwa letingaki.” Batsi nase bahlolile, babuya batsi: “Sinetinkhwa letisihlanu netinhlanti letimbili.”
39 Wabayala bafundzi bakhe watsi abahlalise labantfu ngetigaba tabo etjanini lobuluhlata.
40 Ngako bahlala phansi ngeticheme tabo: ngemakhulu nangema-50.
41 Watsatsa letinkhwa letisihlanu naletinhlanti letimbili wabuka etulu ezulwini, watibusisa. Wahlephula letinkhwa watiniketa bafundzi bakhe kutsi batabele labantfu; wacetuna naletinhlanti letimbili wabanika bonkhe.
42 Badla bonkhe besutsa.
43 Bafundzi babutsa timvutfuluka tetinkhwa netetinhlanti, bagcwalisa emabhasikidi lali-12.
44 Emadvodza ladla kuleto tinkhwa abe ti-5 000.
45 Masinyane Jesu wangenisa bafundzi bakhe esikebheni, wabahambisa ngembili kwakhe, wabewetela ngesheya eBhethsayida, yena wasala ahambisa lesicuku sebantfu.
46 Watsi nasabahambisile, wenyukela entsabeni wayawukhuleka.
47 Kwatsi nakuhwalalako, sikebhe sabe sisekhatsi nelwandle, yena waba yedvwa elusentseni.
48 Wababona kutsi basigwedla kamatima sikebhe, ngobe umoya bewuphambene nabo. Kwatsi ekuseni kungakasi, emkhatsini weli-awa lesitsatfu nelesitfupha, Jesu weta kubo ahamba etikwemanti. Wacondza embili, washaya kungatsi uyendlula.
49 Bona-ke bambona ahamba etikwemanti bakhala bamemeta batsi: “Sipoko!”
50 Ngobe bambona bonkhe betfuka, besaba kakhulu. Masinyane wakhuluma nabo, watsi: “Manini sibindzi, ningesabi, ngimi.”
51 Wangena esikebheni sabo, umoya wathula, ngako bamangala kakhulu.
52 Bebangacondzisisi kahle kutsi tinkhwa betichazani, imicondvo yabo yayivalekile.
53 Batsi nase bewelile, bakhunga sikebhe elusentseni lwelwandle, behlela eGenesaretha.
54 Batsi nabehla esikebheni, bantfu bambona masinyane Jesu.
55 Bagijima bonkhe bachamuka kuto tonkhe tigodzi letatimadvutane, baletsa labagulako ngetinhlaka, babaletsa lapho beve kutsi ungakhona Jesu.
56 Yonkhe indzawo lapho abeya khona Jesu emitini, nasemadolobheni, nasemaphandleni, babeletsa kuye tigulane etimakethe. Tamncenga kutsi sale avuma kutsi titsintse umphetfo wengubo yakhe. Nembala tonkhe letawutsintsa taphila.
1 BaFarisi kanye naletinye tati temtsetfo babutsana kuJesu, baphuma eJerusalema.
2 Babona kutsi bafundzi bakhe badla ngetandla letatingakagezwa, letatingcolile ngekwelisiko lebuJuda.
3 Phela baFarisi, njengemaJuda onkhe, bebasabambelele kakhulu emasikweni abokhokho babo, babengadli bangakagezi tandla.
4 Ngisho nekudla lokuphuma etimakethe bebangakudli bangakakuhlambululi. Kukhona nalamanye emasiko labawagcinako, njengekugezwa kwetinkomishi, nekwemabhodo, nekwetindishi telitfusi.
5 Ngako-ke baFarisi netati temtsetfo babuta Jesu batsi: “Kwentiwa yini lokutsi bafundzi bakho bangawenti emasiko abokhokho, kodvwa besuke badle nje ngetandla letingcolile?”
6 Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Hho, kantsi abecinisile Isaya umphrofethi ngesikhatsi aphrofetha ngani, batentisi-ndzini, nakatsi: “ ‘Lesive singidvumisa ngetindzebe temilomo, kepha tinhlitiyo taso tikhashane nami.
7 Bangikhonta ngelite, ngobe bafundzisa imitsetfo leshaywe bantfu, bente shangatsi iphuma kimi!’ ”
8 Jesu wachubeka watsi: “Niyekela imitsetfo yaNkulunkulu nibambelele emitsetfweni yebantfu.”
9 Wabuye watsi kubo: “Ninemacebo lahlakaniphile ekulahla imiyalo yaNkulunkulu, khona nitewubambelela emasikweni enu.
10 Mosi watsi: ‘Hlonipha uyihlo nenyoko,’ nekutsi: ‘Umuntfu lowetfuka uyise nome unina, akabulawe afe.’
11 Kodvwa nine nitsi: ‘Umuntfu nakanelutfo langahle asite ngalo uyise nome unina, kepha bese utsi: “Sekuyikorbani”,’ (lokusho kutsi sekwehlukaniselwe Nkulunkulu),
12 ‘lowo muntfu akasavumeleki kutsi asite unina nome uyise ngaleyontfo.’
13 Ngaleyo ndlela nilenta lite livi laNkulunkulu, nilicitsa ngetimfundziso tenu temasiko leninikana wona. Kunyenti lenikwentako lokufanana naloku.”
14 Jesu wabuye wabita sicuku lesikhulu sebantfu watsi kuso: “Lalelani nonkhe nitekuva kutsi ngitsini.
15 Kute kudla lokungena ngemlomo lokungahle kumngcolise umuntfu, kepha lokumngcolisako umuntfu nguloko lokuphuma kuye. [
16 “Lonendlebe akeve loko lengikushoko.”]
17 Kwatsi nase angene endlini asehlukene nebantfu, bafundzi bakhe bambuta batsi: “Usho kutsini lomfanekiso?”
18 Wabaphendvula watsi: “Kantsi nani nisengakangiva? Nani aniboni kutsi kute lokungena ngemlomo lokungamngcolisa umuntfu?
19 Phela kudla akuyi enhlitiyweni, kodvwa kucondza esiswini, nakhona kufike kwengce.” Ngaloko Jesu abechaza kutsi konkhe kudla kuhlantekile.
20 Wachubeka watsi: “Nguloko lokuphuma ngekhatsi lokumngcolisako umuntfu.
21 Ngobe enhlitiyweni yemuntfu kuphuma imicabango lemibi, nebugwadla, nekuba, nekubulala,
22 nekuphinga, nekukhanuka, nekukhohlakala, nekuyengana, nemanyala, nemona, nekunyundza, nekutigcabha, nebulima.
23 Bonkhe bubi lobunjalo buchamuka ngekhatsi kumuntfu bumngcolise.”
24 Jesu wesuka lapho wahamba waya esigodzini saseThire [naseSidoni]. Wefika wangena endlini wabhaca, kodvwa abengenakutifihla.
25 Lomunye umfati labegulelwa yindvodzakati yakhe inelidimoni weva ngaye, weta watilahla phansi etinyaweni takhe.
26 Lomfati abengewetive, angumSirofenikhe ngekutalwa. Wancusa Jesu kutsi akhiphe lelidimoni kulendvodzakati yakhe.
27 Kepha Jesu watsi kuye: “Asekwenele kucala bantfwana bendlini, ngobe akukalungi kutsi sitsatse kudla kwebantfwana bendlini sikunikete tinja.”
28 Kodvwa lomfati watsi kuye: “Yebo, kona Nkhosi, ucinisile; kodvwa noko netinja letingaphansi kwelitafula tiyawatfola emavutfuluka lawa kubantfwana.”
29 Jesu wase utsi kuye: “Mahle emavi lowakhulumile. Ungahamba, lidimoni seliphumile endvodzakatini yakho.”
30 Lomfati wahamba wabuyela ekhaya, wakhandza lendvodzakati yakhe icambalele embhedzeni, lidimoni seliphumile kuyo.
31 Jesu wesuka esifundzeni saseThire wayakujika eSidoni, wadzabula sifundza saseDekhapholisi acondze eLwandle lwaseGalile.
32 Kwaletfwa kuye indvodza lebeyisihhulu, futsi ingakhulumi nakahle. Bacela kutsi Jesu ayibeke tandla.
33 Jesu wayehlukanisa nebantfu yaba yodvwa, wase ufaka iminwe yakhe etindlebeni tayo, wakhafula, wase utsintsa lulwimi lwayo.
34 Wabheka ezulwini wabubula watsi kuyo: “Efatha,” lokusho kutsi: “Vuleka.”
35 Tindlebe tayo tavuleka, ngekushesha lulwimi lwayo lwacatuluka, yase ikhuluma ngalokuvakala kahle.
36 Jesu wabayala bantfu kutsi bangatjeli muntfu ngaloku. Kwaba shangatsi ubabangile, batsi besuka babe bayisakata nelive lonkhe.
37 Bamangala kakhulu batsi: “Lomuntfu utenta kahle tonkhe tintfo. Wenta labangeva beve, nalabangakhulumi bakhulume!”
1 Kwatsi nje kuwo lawo malanga ticumbi tebantfu tabutsanela kuJesu, tase teswele kudla letatingakudla. Ngako-ke Jesu wabita bafundzi bakhe watsi kubo:
2 “Ngiyabadzabukela labantfu, ngobe bebakanye nami lapha kwaze kwaba ngemalanga lamatsatfu. Manje sebate lutfo loludliwako.
3 Futsi nangibahambisa ngendlala kutsi baye emakhaya, batawucaleka ngendlela, ngobe labanye babo besuka khashane kakhulu.”
4 Bafundzi bakhe bamphendvula batsi: “Kepha vele, umuntfu angabaphani la ehlane, kute netinkhwa nje?”
5 Jesu wababuta watsi: “Ninetinkhwa letingakhi?” Bamphendvula batsi: “Tisikhombisa.”
6 Wase utsi kulabantfu abahlale phansi, watsatsa letinkhwa letisikhombisa watsi kube atibusise wase uyatihlephula watinika bafundzi bakhe kuze babele labantfu. Nangempela-ke bababela.
7 Babenetinhlantana nje letimbalwa, nato watibusisa, watsi nato atabelwe labantfu.
8 Bantfu badla besutsa; babutsa timvutfuluka letatisele, tagcwala emabhasikidi lasikhombisa.
9 Bantfu lababelapho babengacishe babe ti-4 000. Jesu-ke wase utsi sale babuyela emakhaya abo.
10 Waphutfuma yena wangena esikebheni kanye nebafundzi bakhe, balibangisa eDalmanutha.
11 BaFarisi beta kuJesu bacondze kuphikisana naye. Bamlinga batsi akente sibonakaliso sasezulwini.
12 Jesu wabubula ngalokujulile emoyeni wakhe watsi: “Lesitukulwane sisifunelani sibonakaliso? Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Kute nasinye sibonakaliso lesiyawukhonjiswa kulesitukulwane.”
13 Wesuka wabashiya, wangena esikebheni walibangisa ngesheya kwelwandle.
14 Bafundzi baJesu bakhohlwa kutiphatsela tinkhwa; bese basele nesinkhwa sinye kuphela esikebheni.
15 Jesu wabadvonsa ngendlebe watsi: “Caphelani imbiliso yebaFarisi neyaHerodi.”
16 Bakhulumisana bodvwana batsi: “Kumbe usho ngobe kute sinkhwa.”
17 Jesu ababona kutsi batsini, watsi kubo: “Nikhulumelani ngendzaba yekubate kwenu sinkhwa? Nanyalo anikacondzi, futsi anikaboni? Kantsi tinhlitiyo tenu senitente taba lukhuni yini?
18 Naloku ninemehlo kaniboni? Nangetindlebe kaniva? Anisakhumbuli?
19 Namzukwana ngihlephula tinkhwa letisihlanu, ngihlephulela ti-5 000, nagcwalisa emabhasikidi lamangaki?” Bamphendvula batsi: “Lali-12.”
20 Jesu wachubeka wababuta watsi: “Naletinkhwa letatisikhombisa lengatihlephulela ti-4 000, nagcwalisa emabhasikidi lamangaki ngetimvutfuluka letatisele?” Batsi kuye: “Lasikhombisa.”
21 Watsi kubo: “Solomane nanyalo anikeva?”
22 Jesu watsi efika nje eBhethsayida, baletsa kuye imphumphutse, bamcela kutsi ayitsintse ngesandla.
23 Wayibamba ngesandla lemphumphutse wayikhiphela ngephandle kwemuti. Watsi kube ayikhafulele emehlweni wayibeka tandla wayibuta watsi: “Kukhona yini lokubonako?”
24 Lemphumphutse yaphakamisa inhloko yatsi: “Ngibona bantfu, kodvwa banjengetihlahla letihambako.”
25 Waphindza futsi Jesu wabeka tandla emehlweni ayo. Yabukisisa, yaphiliswa, yabona kahle konkhe.
26 Wase uyayiyala kutsi ayiye ekhaya layo, watsi: “Ungasaphambukeli edolobheni.”
27 Emvakwaloko Jesu wesuka wahamba nebafundzi bakhe baya emadolobhaneni langaseKhesariya Filiphi; basesendleleni wababuta bafundzi bakhe watsi: “Bantfu batsi mine ngingubani?”
28 Bamtjela batsi: “Batsi unguJohane uMbhabhatisi, kantsi labanye batsi ungu-Elija; labanye batsi: ‘Ngulomunye nje webaphrofethi.’ ”
29 Wase ubuta bona utsi: “Nine-ke nitsi ngingubani?” Phetro wamphendvula watsi: “Wena unguKhristu.”
30 Jesu wabayala abafica kutsi bangatjeli muntfu ngaye.
31 Jesu watjela bafundzi bakhe kutsi iNdvodzana yemuntfu ifanele kuhlushwa ngalokunyenti, ilahlwe natibondza telibandla, nebaphatsi bebaphristi, netati temtsetfo, ibulawe, ivuke emvakwemalanga lamatsatfu.
32 Loko wakusho ngalokucacile. Phetro wamdvonsela eceleni wamekhuta.
33 Kodvwa Jesu waphendvuka wabuka bafundzi, wakhahla Phetro, watsi: “Suka kimi, Sathane! Awukunakekeli lokukwaNkulunkulu, kodvwa unakekela kwebantfu!”
34 Jesu wabita bafundzi bakhe kanye nesicuku watsi kubo: “Umuntfu nakafuna kungilandzela, akatidzele, etjatse siphambano sakhe angilandzele.
35 Ngobe wonkhe lofuna kusindzisa kuphila kwakhe, uyawulahlekelwa nguko, nalowo lolahlekelwa kuphila kwakhe ngenca yami nangenca yeliVangeli, uyawukusindzisa.
36 Ngabe kambe kuyawumsita ngani umuntfu kuzuza live lonkhe, kepha alahlekelwe ngumphefumulo wakhe?
37 Ingabe angakhiphani umuntfu kuhlenga umphefumulo wakhe?
38 Lowo lonemahloni ngami, nangemavi ami, kulesitukulwane lesonakele nalesiphingako, neNdvodzana yeMuntfu iyawuba nemahloni ngaye, nayifika ebukhosini beYise kanye netingilosi letingcwele.”
1 Jesu waphindza watsi: “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Bakhona labeme lapha emkhatsini wenu labangayikubona kufa bangakaboni Nkulunkulu abusa ngemandla.”
2 Emvakwemalanga lasitfupha Jesu watsatsa boPhetro, naJakobe, naJohane, wenyukela nabo entsabeni lendze, baba bodvwana. Wagucuka lesinye simo bambukile.
3 Tingubo takhe tacwebetela taba mhlophe nke, kwakungekho muntfu emhlabeni jikelele labengatenta tibe mhlophe njengato.
4 Kwabonakala kubo bo-Elija banaMosi, bakhuluma naJesu.
5 Phetro watsi kuJesu: “Mfundzisi, kuhle lokutsi sibe lapha. Asakhe emathende lamatsatfu, linye litawuba lakho, lelinye libe laMosi, lelinye libe la-Elija.”
6 Phela loko wakusho angasati kutsi utsini, ngobe base bafile luvalo.
7 Kwefika lifu labambonya, kwevakala livi liphuma efini litsi: “Lena yiNdvodzana yami letsandzekako, yilaleleni.”
8 Batsi batsi cala cala, bangete babona muntfu ngaphandle kwaJesu yedvwa.
9 Basehla entsabeni Jesu wabayala kutsi bangacali batjele muntfu ngaloku labakubonile, iNdvodzana yeMuntfu ingakavuswa kulabafile.
10 Nangempela basigcina leseluleko, kodvwa babutana bodvwa batsi: “Kusho kutsini ‘kuvuka kulabafile’?”
11 Bambuta batsi: “Tisho ngani tati temtsetfo lokutsi: ‘Kufanele kufike Elija kucala’?”
12 Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Vele, Elija uyabuya kutawubuyisela tonkhe tintfo ngabolonina. Pho, isho kutsini imiBhalo nayitsi iNdvodzana yeMuntfu ifanele kuhlushwa ngetintfo letinyenti, yedzelelwe?
13 Kodvwa ngiyanitjela ngitsi: Elija sewefika, noko bantfu benta kuye konkhe labakutsandzako, njengaloku kubhaliwe ngaye.”
14 Batsi nabefika kubafundzi labanye, bakhandza sicumbi lesikhulu sibakakile netati temtsetfo tiphikisana nabo.
15 Masinyane nje sicuku satsi kube simbone Jesu, samangala kakhulu, sagijima saya kuye sayawumbingelela.
16 Wababuta watsi: “Niphikisana ngani nabo?”
17 Lomunye kulesicuku watsi kuye: “Mfundzisi, ngiletse nansi indvodzana yami kuwe, ngobe inelidimoni lelisimungulu.
18 Litsi lingambamba limlahle phansi, limkliklitise, akhihlite emagwebu, abhashe ematinyo, ome atsi nkhwa. Ngicele labafundzi bakho kutsi balikhiphe, kodvwa behlulekile.”
19 Wabaphendvula watsi: “Awu, situkulwane lesingakholwa, kuyawudzimate kube ngunini nginani? Kuyawudzimate kube ngunini nginibeketelela? Mletseni la kimi!”
20 Bamletsa kuJesu lomfana. Lanelela kumbona nje lelidimoni, lamlahla phansi umfana, lamekhama, washumpha aphukuhla emagwebu emlonyeni.
21 Jesu wabuta uyise walomfana watsi: “Selinesikhatsi lesingakanani limphetse?” Uyise wamphendvula watsi: “Kusukela ebuntfwaneni bakhe.
22 Belihle limjika nasemlilweni, nasemantini, lifuna kumbulala. Kodvwa nakukhona longakwenta, mane usihawukele usisite.”
23 Jesu watsi kuye: “Utsi: ‘Nakukhona longakwenta.’ Phela konkhe kuyenteka kulowo lokholwako.”
24 Masinyane uyise walomfana wakhala amemeta atsi: “Ngiyakholwa, sita kungakholwa kwami.”
25 Jesu watsi kube abone sicumbi sibutsana, wawekhuta lomoya lomubi watsi: “Moya webumungulu nebuhhulu! Ngiyakutjela ngitsi: Phuma kuye! Ungaphindzi futsi ubuye kuye!”
26 Lidimoni latswilila, lamhlukumeta kamatima lomfana, laphuma kuye. Lomfana walala watsi dzalakaca, wafanana nesidvumbu. Labanyenti babo badzimate batsi: “Ufile.”
27 Kodvwa Jesu wambamba ngesandla; wamsukumisa, nembala wasukuma.
28 Jesu nasangene endlini nebafundzi bakhe babodvwa, bambuta batsi: “Kwentiwe yini kutsi tsine sehluleke kulikhipha lelidimoni?”
29 Wabaphendvula Jesu watsi: “Loluhlobo lolu aluphumi ngalutfo lolunye ngaphandle kwemkhuleko [nekuzila kudla].”
30 Jesu nebafundzi bakhe besuka lapho bachubekela embili, badzabula eGalile. Abengatsandzi kutsi bantfu bati kutsi ukuphi.
31 Jesu wabafundzisa bafundzi bakhe atsi: “INdvodzana yeMuntfu itawuniketwa etandleni tebantfu. Bona batayibulala. Nase bayibulele itawuvuka ngelilanga lesitsatfu.”
32 Kodvwa abazange bayive leyo nkhulumo, besaba nekumbuta.
33 Befika eKhaphanawume; batsi nase bangekhatsi endlini, Jesu wababuta watsi: “Beniphikisana ngani endleleni?”
34 Bathula batsi cwaka; ngobe endleleni bebabutana ngekutsi ngubani lomkhulu emkhatsini wabo.
35 Jesu wahlala phansi, wabita bafundzi bakhe labebali-12, watsi kubo: “Lofuna kuba mkhulu kunabo bonkhe, kufanele atitfobe ngaphansi kwabo bonkhe, abe sisebenti sabo bonkhe.”
36 Wasondzeta umntfwana wammisa emkhatsini wabo, wamgona ngemikhono yakhe, watsi kubo:
37 “Lowo lowemukela lomunye walabantfwana egameni lami, wemukela mine; nalowo lowemukela mine, akemukeli mine kuphela, kodvwa wemukela nalowo longitfumile.”
38 Johane watsi kuye: “Mfundzisi, sibone lomunye akhipha emadimoni egameni lakho; samalela tsine, ngobe akahambisani natsi.”
39 Kodvwa Jesu watsi: “Ningamaleli, ngobe kute longenta imisebenti yemandla egameni lami, longajika masinyane akhulume kabi ngami.
40 Ngobe lowo longakemelani natsi, ukanye natsi.
41 Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Lowo loyakuninatsisa nome yinkomishi yinye nje yemanti, ngobe ningebaKhristu, nakanjani uyakwemukela umvuzo wakhe.”
42 “Lowo lowenta munye nje walaba labancane labakholwa ngimi aphambuke endleleni yaNkulunkulu, bekuyakuba ncono kuye kutsi kunkinkelwe inguzanguza yelitje entsanyeni yakhe, agcumkiselwe elwandle, amite afe.
43 “Sandla sakho nasikonisa, sijube! Kuncono umane ungene ekuphileni uyingini, kunekutsi ube netandla totibili uyekungena esihogweni, emlilweni longacimeki. [
44 ‘Kuleyo ndzawo timphetfu takhona atifi, nemlilo wakhona awucimi.’]
45 Nangabe lunyawo lwakho lukonisa, lujube! Kuncono umane ungene ekuphileni uyinchute, kunekutsi ube netinyawo totimbili kodvwa uyewulahlwa esihogweni. [
46 ‘Kuleyo ndzawo timphetfu takhona atifi, nemlilo wakhona awucimi.’]
47 Nangabe liso lakho likonisa, likupulute ulilahle khashane! Kuncono umane ungene embusweni waNkulunkulu uneliso linye, kunekutsi ube nemehlo omabili kodvwa uyewulahlwa esihogweni.
48 ‘Kuleyo ndzawo timphetfu takhona atifi, nemlilo wakhona awucimi.’
49 “Ngobe phela wonkhe umuntfu uyawuvangwa ngemlilo, njengobe kudla kuvangwa ngeluswayi.
50 “Luswayi lona luhle, kodvwa luswayi nase lulahlekelwe bunandzi balo, buyawubuyiselwa ngani? “Banini neluswayi ngekhatsi kwenu, nibe nekuthula lomunye kulomunye, nivane.”
1 Jesu wesuka lapho waya eveni laseJudiya adzabula live lelingesheya kweJordane. Ticumbi letikhulu tebantfu taphindza tabutsanela kuye, watifundzisa njengenhlalayenta.
2 Kwase kuta baFarisi kuye batakumlinga, bambuta batsi: “Kuvumelekile yini emtsetfweni kutsi indvodza idivose umkayo?”
3 Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Mosi waniyala watsini?”
4 Batsi bona: “Mosi wasivumela kutsi indvodza ingayibhala incwadzi yedivosi imlahle umkayo.”
5 Kodvwa Jesu watsi kubo: “Mosi wanibhalela loko ngenca yebulukhuni betinhlitiyo tenu.
6 Kodvwa ekucaleni kwendalo ‘uMdali wenta umuntfu lomdvuna nalomsikati.
7 Ngaloko-ke indvodza iyawushiya uyise nenina [inamatsele kumkayo],
8 labo bobabili sebayawuba nyamanye.’ Ngako-ke abasebabili, sebamunye.
9 Loko losekuhlanganiswe nguNkulunkulu, akungabe kusehlukaniswa ngumuntfu.”
10 Sebasendlini, bafundzi bakhe bambuta futsi ngalendzaba.
11 Watsi kubo: “Lowo lodivosa umkakhe bese utsatsa lomunye umfati, unelicala kumkakhe lekuphinga.
12 Nalowo lodivosa indvodza yakhe bese wendza kulenye indvodza, unelicala endvodzeni yakhe lekuphinga.”
13 Labanye bantfu baletsa bantfwana kuye, khona atewubeka tandla etikwabo ababusise; bafundzi babakhalimela.
14 Kodvwa watsi kube akubone loko Jesu, watfukutsela watsi kubo: “Vumelani bantfwana bete kimi, ningabavimbeli, ngobe umbuso waNkulunkulu walabanjalo.
15 Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Lowo longawemukeli umbuso waNkulunkulu njengemntfwana, angeke angene kuwo.”
16 Wabatsatsa labantfwana, wabagona, wabeka tandla etikwabo, wababusisa.
17 Kwatsi Jesu nasatawuhamba, kwachamuka indvodza ita igijima, yefika yaguca embikwakhe yambuta yatsi: “Mfundzisi lolungile, ngingentani kuze ngitfole kuphila lokuphakadze?”
18 Jesu watsi kuye: “Ungibitelani ngekutsi ngilungile? Kute lolungile, nguNkulunkulu kuphela.
19 Uyayati imiyalo letsi: ‘Ungabulali, ungaphingi, ungebi, ungafakazi emanga, ungatsatsi lutfo ngebucili, hlonipha uyihlo nenyoko.’ ”
20 Yamphendvula yatsi: “Mfundzisi, konkhe loko ngakugcina kusukela ebuntfwaneni bami.”
21 Jesu asambuka wamtsandza watsi kuye: “Kunye lokusasele kutsi ukwente: Hamba uyewutsengisa ngako konkhe lonako, wabele labamphofu lemali, khona uyawuba
22 nemcebo ezulwini, bese-ke uyeta uyangilandzela.” Yajabha kakhulu nayikuva loko, ngobe beyinjinge kakhulu, yahamba umoya wayo sewushone phansi.
23 Jesu wabuka bafundzi bakhe watsi kubo: “Maye, kuyawuba lukhuni kulabo labanjingile kungena embusweni waNkulunkulu!”
24 Bafundzi bakhe bamangala ngalawo mavi akhe. Kodvwa Jesu waphindze watsi kubo: “Bantfwabami, kumatima kungena embusweni waNkulunkulu.
25 Kulula kungena kwelikamela embotjeni yenyalitsi kunekungena kwemuntfu lonjingile embusweni waNkulunkulu.”
26 Bafundzi bamangala kakhulu babutana bodvwana batsi: “Kepha nakunjalo, ngubani longasindziswa?”
27 Jesu wababuka emehlweni wase utsi: “Kubantfu kungeke kwenteke loku, kodvwa kuNkulunkulu kungenteka, ngobe kuNkulunkulu konkhe kuyenteka.”
28 Phetro watsi kuye: “Buka la, tsine sishiye konkhe, salandzela wena.”
29 Jesu watsi: “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Lowo loshiye umuti, nome bomnakabo, nome bodzadzewabo, nome unina, nome uyise, nome bantfwana, nome emasimi, ngenca yami nangenca yeliVangeli,
30 uyakwemukeliswa lokunyenti aselapha kulomhlaba. Uyawuphiwa ngalokuphindvwe kalikhulu: imiti, nabomnakabo, nabodzadzewabo, nabonina, nebantfwana, nemasimi, yebo, ngisho netinhlupheko, bese kutsi kulelitako atfole kuphila lokuphakadze.
31 Labanyenti lababekucala bayawuba bekugcina, nalabo lababekugcina bayawuba bekucala.”
32 Batsi basendleleni benyukela eJerusalema, Jesu abahola embili, bafundzi bakhe bebasamangele, nalabo labebamlandzela befikelwa kwesaba. Waphindza watsatsa bafundzi bakhe labali-12, wakhweshela nabo eceleni, wabafundzisa, abatjela ngaloko lebekutamehlela,
33 watsi: “Ase nilalele la, sesenyukela eJerusalema, iNdvodzana yeMuntfu itawunikelwa kubaphristi labakhulu nasetatini temtsetfo, batayilahla ngelicala kutsi ibulawe. Batayinikela kubetive.
34 Batawuhlekisa ngayo, bayikhafulele ngematse, bayibhambabule, bayibulale, kodvwa kuyawutsi ngelilanga lesitsatfu ivuke kulabafile.”
35 BoJakobe, naJohane, emadvodzana aZebedi, basondzela kuJesu batsi: “Mfundzisi, kukhona lesicela kutsi usentele kona.”
36 Wababuta watsi: “Nifuna nginenteleni?”
37 Batsi kuye: “Sicela kutsi lomunye wetfu ahlale ngesekudla sakho, lomunye ahlale ngesancele sakho ebukhosini bakho.”
38 Kodvwa Jesu watsi kubo: “Anikwati lenikucelako. Nitakumela yini kuyinatsa lendzebe yelusizi lengitayinatsa nome kubhajatiswa ngalombhabhatiso lengitawubhajatiswa ngawo mine?”
39 Batsi kuye: “Singakumela.” Jesu watsi kubo: “Yebo kona, lendzebe lengitayinatsa nani nitayinatsa; nangalombhabhatiso lengitawubhajatiswa ngawo nani nitawubhajatiswa ngawo.
40 Kodvwa tikhundla tekuhlala ngesekudla nome ngesancele sami akusiko kwami kutsi ngephane ngato; kodvwa talabo labalungiselelwe tona nguNkulunkulu.”
41 Batsi nabakuva loko lababelishumi, babacansukela boJakobe naJohane.
42 Jesu wababita wabatjela watsi: “Niyati kutsi babusi betive babusa etikwato, netikhulu tato titiphetse ngesandla lesimatima.
43 Kodvwa akukafaneli kutsi kube njalo kini, lowo lofuna kuba ngulomkhulu kini nonkhe, akabe sisebenti senu nonkhe.
44 Nalowo lofuna kuba wekucala kini, akabe sigcili senu nonkhe.
45 Ngobe neNdvodzana yeMuntfu ayitelanga kutawukhontwa, kodvwa yetela kutawukhonta, nekunikela ngekuphila kwayo kutsi ibe yinhlawulo yalabanyenti.”
46 Befika eJerikho. Jesu nase aphuma khona kanye nebafundzi bakhe, nesicuku lesikhulu sebantfu, Bhathimeyosi, imphumphutse, umsa waThimeyosi, abehleti ngasemgwacweni acela kuphiwa.
47 Watsi kube eve kutsi nguJesu waseNazaretha, wamemeta kakhulu atsi: “Jesu, Ndvodzana yaDavide! Ngihawukele!”
48 Labanyenti bamkhahlameta, batsi akathule; kodvwa kwaba shangatsi bambangile, washo kakhulu watsi: “Ndvodzana yaDavide, ngihawukele!”
49 Jesu wema watsi: “Mbiteni.” Bayibita lemphumphutse, batsi: “Ungesabi, sukuma, uyakubita Jesu.”
50 Yalahla phansi lijazi layo, yasukuma yabanga kuJesu.
51 Jesu wayibuta watsi: “Ufuna ngikwenteleni?” Lemphumphutse yatsi: “Mfundzisi wami, mane ngibone nje.”
52 Jesu watsi kuyo: “Hamba; kukholwa kwakho kukuphilisile.” Masinyane avuleka emehlo ayo abona, yase ilandzela Jesu eluhambeni lwakhe.
1 Batsi kube basondzele eJerusalema sebasedvute naseBhethifage neBhetani, ngaseNtsabeni Yemincumo, Jesu watfumela bafundzi bakhe lababili,
2 watsi kubo: “Hambani nize ningene edolobhaneni lelimacondzana nani; nitawukhandza kukhungwe litfole lembongolo, lelingazange seligitjelwe. Nifike nilikhumule, nililetse la.
3 Nakukhona lonibutako atsi: ‘Nikwentelani loko?’ nibotsi: ‘INkhosi iyalidzinga, italibuyisa masinyane.’ ”
4 Bahamba-ke labo lababili balikhandza lelitfole likhungwe ngasesangweni, ngephandle kwemuti, ngasemgwacweni, balitfukulula.
5 Labo lababeme lapho bababuta batsi: “Nentani? Nilikhumulelani lelitfole?”
6 Babatjela loko labebakutjelwe nguJesu; nembala bantfu babayekela bahamba.
7 Baliletsa kuJesu lelitfole. Bagaca tingubo tabo etikwalo, Jesu waligibela.
8 Labanyenti bendlala tingubo tabo emgwacweni, labanye bendlala emagala etihlahla labebawagawule esigangeni.
9 Labo labebahamba embili nalabebahamba ngemuva babememeta batsi: “Hosana! Ubusisiwe lotako egameni leNkhosi!
10 Ubusisiwe umbuso lotako wababe Davide! Hosana kulelisetikwako konkhe!”
11 Jesu wangena-ke eJerusalema, wacondza ngekhatsi ethempelini. Watsi kube acedze kubuka konkhe, wase uyengca uya eBhetani ngobe kwase kuhlwile, abehamba kanye nebafundzi bakhe lababeli-12.
12 Ngakusasa nase babuya eBhetani, Jesu wativa asalambile.
13 Wabona bucalu sihlahla semkhiwa sinemacembe, waya kuso ayewufuna emakhiwa. Watsi uyefika wakhandza kute, kungemacembe odvwa, ngobe bekungesiso sikhatsi semakhiwa.
14 Watsi kulesihlahla: “Sale kubate muntfu loyakudla emakhiwa la kuwe nanini.” Bafundzi bakhe bamuva nakasho njalo.
15 Befika eJerusalema. Jesu wangena ethempelini wakhipha bonkhe lababetsenga nalababetsengisa. Wagumbucela ematafula alababentjintja timali kanye netihlalo talabebatsengisa ngematuba.
16 Abengavumeli muntfu kutsi ahambe adzabule emabaleni elithempeli atfwele.
17 Wabafundzisa watsi: “Akashongo yini Nkulunkulu emBhalweni wakhe watsi: ‘Indlu yami iyawubitwa ngekutsi yindlu lapho kuthandaza khona tonkhe tive’? Kodvwa nine seniyigucule yaba ngumhume wabosidlani!”
18 Baphristi labakhulu kanye netati temtsetfo batsi kube bakuve loko, bafuna indlela lababengabulala ngayo Jesu, ngobe phela babemesaba, kwatise kutsi tonkhe ticuku tatitsatsekile ngalemfundziso yakhe, timangele.
19 Kwatsi nakuhwalala Jesu nebafundzi bakhe baphuma edolobheni laseJerusalema.
20 Ekuseni nase babuyela emuva, basibona lesihlahla semkhiwa sesome ngisho netimphandze taso.
21 Phetro wayikhumbula indzaba yangayitolo, wase utsi: “Mfundzisi, buka lesa sihlahla losicalekise itolo, sesomile.”
22 Jesu wakhuluma kubo watsi: “Kholwani kuNkulunkulu.
23 Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Nome ngubani loyawutsi kulentsaba: ‘Cukuleka uyewuphonseka le elwandle,’ angangabati enhlitiyweni yakhe, kodvwa akholwa kutsi loko lasakushito kutakwenteka, uyakwentelwa kona.
24 Ngako-ke ngitsi kini: Konkhe leniyawukucela ngemkhuleko, kholwani kutsi seninako, niyawube seniyaphiwa-ke.
25 Ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi nanithandazako, nibobacolela leniphambene nabo, kuze kutsi neYihlo losezulwini anitsetselele tono tenu. [
26 Kodvwa naningatsetselelani, neYihlo losezulwini angeke anitsetselele emacala enu.]”
27 Babuyela-ke eJerusalema; watsi asaya ethempelini, baphristi labakhulu netati temtsetfo netibondza beta kuye,
28 bambuta batsi: “Ulitsatsaphi ligunya lekwenta letintfo, kona ngubani lokunike leligunya lekutenta?”
29 Jesu watsi: “Nami ngitanibuta livi libe linye; naninginika imphendvulo, ngitanitjela kutsi leligunya lengenta ngalo letintfo, ngilitsatsaphi.
30 Ase ningitjele kutsi umbhabhatiso waJohane bewuphuma kuNkulunkulu yini nome bewuphuma kubantfu?”
31 Bacale bakhulumisana bodvwana batsi: “Nasitsi: ‘KuNkulunkulu,’ utawutsi: ‘Animkholwanga ngani kepha?’
32 Kodvwa nasingatsi: ‘Kubantfu,’ ngeke silunge.” Phela babesaba bantfu, ngobe bonkhe bebabambelele ekutseni Johane abengumphrofethi cobo.
33 Ngako base baphendvula Jesu batsi: “Awu, asati.” Jesu-ke yena watsi: “Nami-ke ngeke nginitjele kutsi letintfo ngitenta ngaliphi ligunya.”
1 Jesu wacala wakhuluma kubo ngemifanekiso watsi: “Bekukhona lenye indvodza leyahlanyela sivini sayo, yase iyasibiyela, ekhatsi kwaso yemba umgodzi wekuhlutela emagelebisi etjeni, yakha nenyango yekulindza; yase icashisa ngaso kubacashi, yona yahamba yaya kulelinye live.
2 Kwatsi nakufika sikhatsi sekuvuna, yatfumela sisebenti kulabacashi kutsi siyewuyilandzela sabelo sayo sesivuno.
3 Basidvumela, basishaya, basincandza mahhala.
4 Yaphindza futsi yatfumela lesinye sisebenti, naso basibhobota tindvuma, basihlazisa.
5 Yaphindza yatfumela lesinye sisebenti sayo, sona-ke sefika basibulala. Tinyenti letinye letatitfunywa: letinye tatishaywa, letinye tibulawe.
6 Ekugcineni kwase kusele umuntfu munye lebeyingamtfumela, umsa wayo lebeyimtsandza kakhulu. Beyicabanga kutsi batamhlonipha ngobe kuyindvodzana yayo.
7 Kodvwa labacashi batsi kube bayibone lendvodzana, bakhulumisana bodvwana batsi: ‘Nanso indlalifa yakhe, wotani siteyibulala, khona lelifa kutakuba letfu.’
8 Bayibamba, bayibulala, bayijika ngephandle kwesivini.
9 “Uyakwenta njani-ke lomnikati walesivini? Uyawuta atetibhubhisa leticashi atsatse lesivini acashise ngaso kulabanye.
10 “Anifundzanga yini kulomBhalo lotsi: “ ‘Lelo litje lelaliwa bakhi, ngobe bebatsi alinamsebenti, seligucuke laba litje lekusimisa indlu?
11 Loko kwentiwa yiNkhosi. Maye! Kuyasimangalisa!’ ”
12 Betama kubamba Jesu, kodvwa besaba ticuku tebantfu, ngobe babona kahle kutsi ngalomfanekiso ukhuluma ngabo, base bayamshiya, bahamba.
13 Base batfumela labanye bebaFarisi, kanye nemaHerodi, kutsi atewugiba Jesu ngenkhulumo yakhe.
14 Bafike batsi kuye: “Mfundzisi, siyati kutsi wena uneliciniso, awuwatsengi emehlo emuntfu ngobe awesatjiswa bunjalo bemuntfu. Ufundzisa indlela yaNkulunkulu ngeliciniso. Kulungile yini kukhipha umtselo kuKhesari, uMbusi wemaRoma, nome cha? Sifanele siwukhiphe yini nome singawukhiphi?”
15 Kodvwa Jesu abati kahle bumbulu babo, watsi kubo: “Ningilingelani? Ase ningikhombise loluhlavu lwemali.”
16 Baluletsa. Wababuta watsi: “Lesitfombe naloku lokubhalwe la kulo kwabani?” Bamphendvula batsi: “KwaKhesari.”
17 Jesu watsi kubo: “Yebo-ke, nikani Khesari kwaKhesari, naNkulunkulu kwaNkulunkulu.” Bamangala kakhulu ngalamavi akhe.
18 Kwase kuta kuJesu baSadusi, labatsi bona kute kuvuka kulabafile, bambuta umbuzo batsi:
19 “Mfundzisi, Mosi wasibhalela kutsi indvodza nayifa, ishiya umfati wayo angakabi namntfwana, umnakabomufi kufanele angene lomfati, khona atewuvusela umufi umuti.
20 Manje-ke bekunetelamani letatisikhombisa; wekucala watsatsa umfati, wase uyafa asete bantfwana.
21 Ngako-ke lona wesibili wase ungena lomfelokati, naye wafa ate bantfwana, wesitsatfu futsi kwaba ngiso sona leso.
22 Bobasikhombisa abazange batale ngisho namunye umntfwana. Ekugcineni-ke wase uyafa nalomfati.
23 Ekuvukeni kwalabafile lomfati uyawuba wabani, ngobe bobasikhombisa abengumfati wabo?”
24 Jesu watsi kubo: “Maye, nedukile, kwatisa kutsi nemiBhalo aniyati, futsi nemandla aNkulunkulu aniwati!
25 Phela nase bavuka kulabafile, abasatekani, ngobe sebanjengetingilosi tasezulwini.
26 Kona-ke macondzana nekuvuka kulabafile anifundzanga yini encwadzini yaMosi endzabeni yesihlahla lesasivutsa emalangabi, kutsi Nkulunkulu watsini kuye? Watsi: ‘NginguNkulunkulu wa-Abrahama, naNkulunkulu wa-Isaka, naNkulunkulu waJakobe.’
27 Nkulunkulu akasiye walabafile, kodvwa walabaphilako. Nine nje neduke kabi.”
28 Lesinye sati semtsetfo sasondzela, sabeva baphikisana naye. Sesibonile kutsi ubaphendvula kahle, sambuta satsi: “Ngumuphi umyalo lomkhulu kunayo yonkhe?”
29 Jesu wasiphendvula watsi: “Wekucala utsi: ‘Lalelani, nine baka-Israyeli, iNkhosi Nkulunkulu wetfu, iNkhosi yinye.
30 Uboyitsandza iNkhosi Nkulunkulu wakho, ngayo yonkhe inhlitiyo yakho, nangawo wonkhe umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonkhe ingcondvo yakho, nangawo onkhe emandla akho.’
31 Wesibili utsi: ‘Ubotsandza makhelwane wakho, njengobe utitsandza wena.’ Kute-ke lomunye umyalo lomkhulu kunaleyo.”
32 Lesati satsi kuye: “Ucinisile, Mfundzisi, ushito kahle kutsi Nkulunkulu munye, futsi kute lomunye ngaphandle kwakhe.
33 Kutsandza Nkulunkulu ngenhlitiyo yami yonkhe, nangekucondza kwami konkhe, nangemandla ami onkhe, kanye nekutsandza makhelwane wami njengobe ngititsandza mine, kuncono kakhulu kuneminikelo leshiswako nakunemihlatjelo.”
34 Jesu wabona kutsi siphendvule kahle, watsi: “Cha, awukho khashane kakhulu nembuso waNkulunkulu.” Emvakwaloko kute lowaba nesibindzi sekumbuta umbuzo.
35 Jesu asafundzisa ethempelini wababuta bantfu watsi: “Tati temtsetfo tisho ngani kutsi Khristu wesitukulwane saDavide?
36 Davide, agcwele Moya Longcwele, washo watsi: “ ‘INkhosi yatsi eNkhosini yami: “Hlala lapha ngesekudla sami, ngize ngibeke titsa takho ngaphansi kwetinyawo takho.” ’
37 “Nangabe Davide cobo ambita ngeNkhosi yakhe, pho, uwesitukulwane sakhe njani?” Ticumbi letikhulu tebantfu tamlalela ngekujabula.
38 Ekufundziseni kwakhe Jesu watsi: “Caphelani tati temtsetfo, letitsandza kuhamba tembetse imijiva lemidze, tihambe tibingelelwa bantfu etimakethe.
39 Titsandza titulo letincono emasinagogeni, netindzawo letihloniphekile emadzilini.
40 Tidla tindlu tebafelokati, titentise ngekuthandaza imithandazo lemidze. Tiyakwemukela sijeziso lesikhulu.”
41 Jesu wahlala phansi macondzana nelibhokisi leminikelo, wabukela ticuku tinikela tifaka timali ebhokisini. Labanyenti lababenjingile bafaka timali letinkhulu.
42 Umfelokati lotsite labephuyile weta wafaka tinhlavu letimbili telitfusi letenta isenti.
43 Jesu wabita bafundzi bakhe watsi kubo: “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Lomfelokati lophuyile unikele kakhulu kunabo bonkhe.
44 Ngobe bona bebacupha kulokunyenti, kodvwa yena ukhiphe konkhe labenako, nalabengahle aphile ngako.”
1 Watsi Jesu nakaphuma ethempelini, lomunye webafundzi bakhe watsi kuye: “Mfundzisi, asewubuke lamatje naletakhiwo kutsi takheke kahle kangakanani.”
2 Jesu watsi kuye: “Uyatibona yini letakhiwo letinkhulu? Kute nalinye litje leliyawusala lisetikwalelinye lelingayiwudzilitelwa phansi.”
3 Jesu abehleti eNtsabeni Yemincumo abhekene nelithempeli. BoPhetro, naJakobe, naJohane, na-Andreya bambuta babodvwana naye batsi:
4 “Ase usitjele kutsi kuyakwenteka nini loko? Kuyakwentekani lokuyawuba sibonakaliso saleso sikhatsi sekuphela?”
5 Jesu wabatjela watsi: “Caphelani kutsi kubete lonedukisako.
6 Kuyawuta labanyenti egameni lami batsi: ‘Nginguye!’ Ngaloko bayakwedukisa labanyenti.
7 Naniva emahemuhemu etimphi, netindzaba tetimphi, ningetfuki, ngobe letintfo tifanele kutsi tenteke, kodvwa noko umhla wekuphela uyawube ungakefiki.
8 Sive siyawuvukela lesinye sive, umbuso uvukele lomunye umbuso, kuyawuba nekutamatama kwemhlaba tindzawo ngetindzawo, kuyawuba netindlala. Loko kuyawube kukucala kwetinsizi, kube njengemhelo walomsikati nasatawuteta.
9 “Ticapheleni nine, ngobe bayawunimangalela etinkantolo, niyawushaywa emasinagogeni, nimiswe embikwebabusi nemakhosi ngenca yami, nize nibeke bufakazi ngami kubo.
10 LiVangeli kufanele lishunyayelwe etiveni tonkhe kucala.
11 Nabanimikisa etinkantolo baninikele, ningahlupheki ngekucabanga kutsi niyawutsini, kodvwa shanoni loko leniyakuphiwa ngalowo mzuzu, ngobe kuyawube kungasesini leniyakube nikhuluma, kodvwa Moya Longcwele uyakukhuluma ngemilomo yenu.
12 Umuntfu uyawunikela umnakabo ekufeni, neyise umntfwanakhe, bantfwana bayawuvukela batali babo bababulalise.
13 Niyawutondvwa ngabo bonkhe ngenca yeligama lami. Kepha lowo loyawucinisela kuze kube ngusekugcineni, uyakusindziswa.”
14 “Kodvwa nanibona ‘Sinengisoncitsakalo’ eme endzaweni lengakamfaneli,” (lofundzako akacaphele inchazelo yaloku), “labo labaseJudiya ababalekele etintsabeni.
15 Naloyabe asetikwendlu angabe asehla, angasangeni nasendlini yakhe kuyawutsatsa timphahla takhe.
16 Losensimini angasabuyeli emuva kuyawutsatsa kwekwembatsa kwakhe.
17 Maye kulabo labayawube batetfwele, nalabo labayawube bamunyisa ngalawo malanga!
18 Thandazelani kutsi loko kungete kwenteka ebusika.
19 Ngobe kulawo malanga kuyawuba netinhlupheko letinkhulu, letingazange setibekhona kusukela ekucaleni kwendalo yaNkulunkulu kudzimate kube ngulamuhla, futsi tingeke tiphindze tibe khona.
20 Kube futsi Nkulunkulu abengakawafinyeti lawo malanga, kute namunye labeyawusindziswa; kodvwa ngenca yalabakhetfwe nguye wawafinyeta lawo malanga.
21 “Ngaleso sikhatsi nakufika lomunye atsi kini: ‘Ase nibuke, nangu Khristu,’ nome atsi: ‘Nanguya,’ ningamkholwa.
22 Bokhristu bemanga nebaphrofethimbumbulu batawuvela bakhombise tibonakaliso netimangaliso kuze kwedukiswe nalabakhetsiwe, nakunekwenteka.
23 “Kodvwa caphelani, ngobe senginitjele konkhe loku kungakenteki.”
24 “Ngalawo malanga emvakwaleto tinhlupheko, “ ‘lilanga liyawufiphala, nenyanga iyawubate kukhanya,
25 netinkhanyeti tidzilike esibhakabhakeni, nemandla emkhatsi ayawunyakatiswa.’
26 “Lapho-ke bayawuyibona iNdvodzana yeMuntfu ita ngemafu inemandla lamakhulu nebukhosi.
27 Iyawutfumela tingilosi tayo kutsi tiyewubutsa labo labakhetsiwe bayo emimoyeni yomine, nasemikhawulweni yonkhe yemhlaba.”
28 “Ase nifundze sifundvo esihlahleni semkhiwa. Ngesikhatsi emagala aso advumba, bese sihluma emacembe, niyabe seniyati kutsi seletfwese lihlobo.
29 Kanjalo-ke nani, nanibona letintfo tenteka, nibokwati kwekutsi iNdvodzana yeMuntfu seyisedvute, seyingasemnyango.
30 “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Lesitukulwane singeke sendlule kungakenteki konkhe loku.
31 Kuyakwendlula lizulu nemhlaba, kodvwa emavi ami wona angeke endlule.”
32 “Kepha noko kute lowatiko kutsi lelo langa nalelo awa kuyawufika nini. Netingelosi tasezulwini atati, neNdvodzana ayati; nguYise kuphela lokwatiko loko.
33 Caphelani nilindze, ngobe anati kutsi leso sikhatsi siyawufika nini.
34 Kufanana nendvodza leyayitawuya khashane; yatsi nase itawusuka ekhaya, yabeka tisebenti tayo etikhundleni tato, nguleso nemsebenti waso lotsite. Yayala umgcini welisango kutsi alindze kahle.
35 Ngako-ke lindzani, ngobe animati umnikati wendlu kutsi uyawubuya nini. Angahle abuye ebusuku nome ekhatsi nebusuku, angabuya ekukhaleni kwekucala kwelichudze, nome ekuseni.
36 Nakefika ningakamlindzeli, akanganikhandzi nilele.
37 Loku lengikusho kini, ngikusho kubo bonkhe ngitsi: Lindzani.”
1 Bese kusele emalanga lamabili kube nguMkhosi weliPhasika, kudliwe sinkhwa lesite imbiliso. Baphristi labakhulu netati temtsetfo tatifuna lisu lekubamba Jesu ngebucili, timbulale.
2 Kepha babetsi: “Akufuneki simbambe ngesikhatsi semkhosi, ngobe bantfu bangahle besuse siphitsiphitsi.”
3 Jesu abeseBhetani, ekhaya kaSimoni lowake waba lilephelo. Watsi Jesu asadla, kwefika umfati aphetse sigujana lesasakhiwe ngelitje lembiza, sigcwele emafutsa langemakha enadi ladule kakhulu. Wasivula lesigujana, watsela lamakha enhloko yaJesu.
4 Kodvwa bekukhona labatfukutsela, bakhuluma bodvwana batsi: “Kudlalelwani ngalamafutsa?
5 Ngobe ngabe atsengiswe ngabodenariyo labangema-300, kwabelwa labamphofu lemali.” Bamsola kakhulu lomfati.
6 Kodvwa Jesu watsi: “Myekeleni; nimhluphelani? Ngobe wente umsebenti lomuhle kakhulu kimi.
7 Labamphofu nihlala nabo onkhe emalanga, nome ngunini nanitsandzako ningabentela lokuhle; kodvwa mine aninawuhlala nami sonkhe sikhatsi.
8 Naye-ke wente loko langahle akwente, ugcobise umtimba wami awulungiselela kungcwatjwa usengakangcwatjwa.
9 Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Nome kukuphi lapho liVangeli liyawushunyayelwa khona emhlabeni wonkhe, loku lakwentile kuyawuba sikhumbuto ngaye.”
10 Judasi Skariyothe, labengulomunye walababeli-12, waya kubaphristi labakhulu wayawutsengisa ngaJesu.
11 Batsi nabakuva loko, bajabula bafa, bametsembisa kumnika imali. Wacala-ke Judasi wafuna litfuba lelikahle lekunikela Jesu kubo.
12 Ngelilanga lekucala leMkhosi Wesinkhwa Lesingenambiliso, mhla kunikelwa imvana yeliPhasika, bafundzi baJesu baya kuye bambuta batsi: “Ungatsandza kutsi siyekulungiselela kuphi Sidlo seliPhasika?”
13 Jesu watfumela bafundzi bakhe lababili watsi kubo: “Hambani niye edolobheni, niyawuhlangabetana nemuntfu etfwele imbita yemanti; nibomlandzela.
14 Nitawufike nikhulume nalomnikati wendlu, latawungena kuyo lomuntfu, nitsi: ‘UMfundzisi utsi: “Liphi likamelo lapho ngingadlela khona liPhasika ngikanye nebafundzi bami?” ’
15 Lomnikati wendlu utanikhombisa likamelo lelikhulu lelingetulu, lelilungiswe kahle; bese nisilungiselela khona.”
16 Bafundzi bahamba-ke baya edolobheni, bakhandza kunjengobe Jesu abebatjelile; bavele basilungiselela Sidlo seMkhosi weliPhasika.
17 Kwatsi sekuhlwile, Jesu wefika akanye nebafundzi bakhe labali-12.
18 Batsi basadla, Jesu watsi kubo: “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Lomunye emkhatsini wenu, nine lenidla kanye nami, utangitsengisa.”
19 Bacala kudzabuka, kwaba ngulowo watibutela yena atsi: “Kungabe ngimi yini?”
20 Jesu watsi kubo: “Ngulomunye wenu nine labali-12, lowo lowenya lucetu lwesinkhwa ndishi yinye nami.
21 Vele kambe iNdvodzana yeMuntfu itawufa, njengobe kubhaliwe ngayo; kodvwa maye kulowo muntfu iNdvodzana yeMuntfu letawutsengiswa ngaye! Bekuyawuba ncono kulowo muntfu kube mane akatalwanga.”
22 Batsi basadla, Jesu watsatsa sinkhwa, wabusisa, wase uyasihlephula, wabanika watsi: “Tsatsani, loku ngumtimba wami.”
23 Watsatsa nendzebe, watsi nasabongile, wabanika, bonkhe banatsa kuyo.
24 Watsi kubo: “Loku kuyingati yami yesivumelwane, lecitselwa labanyenti.
25 Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Angeke ngiphindze nginatse kulesitselo semvini, kuyawudzimate kube ngulelo langa nase ngisinatsa sisisha embusweni waNkulunkulu.”
26 Batsi kube bacedze kuhlabela ingoma yekubonga, baphuma baya eNtsabeni Yemincumo.
27 Jesu watsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Nonkhe nitangihlamuka, ngobe kubhaliwe kutsi: “ ‘Ngiyawushaya ngibulale umelusi, timvu tiyawuhlakateka.’
28 “Kodvwa nase ngivusiwe kulabafile, ngiyawuhamba ngembili kwenu ngiye eGalile.”
29 Kepha Phetro watsi kuye: “Nome bangakuhlamuka bonkhe, mine ngingeke.”
30 Jesu watsi kuye: “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kuwe: Kubo lobusuku balamuhla, lichudze litawutsi lingakakhali kwesibili, wena utabe sewungiphike katsatfu.”
31 Kepha Phetro wagcizelela watsi: “Nome bangangibulala kanye nawe, mine ngeke ngikuphike.” Bafundzi bonkhe basho njalo.
32 Besuka lapho baya endzaweni lekwakutsiwa yiGetsemane, Jesu watsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Hlalani lapha, mine ngisaya kukhuleka.”
33 Watsatsa boPhetro, naJakobe, naJohane, wachubachubeka nabo. Wafikelwa ngumunyu nekudzabuka nekwesaba,
34 watsi kubo: “Umphefumulo wami ucindzetelwe lusizi, ngidzabuke lokwekufa. Salani lapha nilindze.”
35 Yena wachubachubeka libangana, watilahla phansi, wakhuleka kutsi sendlule kuye lesikhatsi selusizi, nakungenteka.
36 Watsi: “Aba, Babe, konkhe kungenteka kuwe. Yendlulise kimi lendzebe yelusizi, noko kungayi ngentsandvo yami kodvwa kuye ngentsandvo yakho.”
37 Weta kubafundzi labatsatfu wabakhandza sebalele, watsi kuPhetro: “Simoni, ulele? Ungabe usalindza neli-awa linye nje?
38 Lindzani nikhuleke kuze ningangeni ekulingweni. Umoya uyavuma, kodvwa inyama ibutsakatsaka.”
39 Wabuyela futsi wayawuthandaza, asho wona lawo mavi.
40 Waphindza wabuyela kulabafundzi labatsatfu, wabakhandza balele. Phela emehlo abo abesindvwa butfongo, behluleka kutsi bangamphendvula batsini.
41 Wabuya kwesitsatfu watsi kubo: “Kantsi nisalele nanyalo? Nisaphumulile? Sekwenele; sikhatsi sesifikile. Ase nibuke-ke, iNdvodzana yeMuntfu seyiniketwa etandleni tetoni.
42 Sukumani sambe! Bukani nangu longitsengisako asakhona.”
43 Masinyane nje asakhuluma, kwatseleka Judasi, lomunye walabebali-12. Abehamba nesicuku lesikhulu sebantfu sihlome ngetinkemba nangetindvuku, sitfunywe baphristi labakhulu, netati temtsetfo kanye netibondza.
44 Lona labemtsengisa-ke abebanike siboniso watsi: “Lowo lengitamanga, nguye-ke lowo. Nimbambe, niphume naye, nimbone angaphunyuli.”
45 Watsi kube efike nje Judasi wacondza ngco kuJesu, watsi: “Mfundzisi!” Wamanga.
46 Batselekela Jesu, bambamba, bambopha.
47 Kodvwa lomunye walabo lababeme eceleni kwaJesu wahoshula inkemba yakhe wagalela esigcilini semPhristi Lomkhulu, wasihhumbula indlebe.
48 Jesu watsi kubo: “Nidzimate nihlome kangaka, shangatsi nihlomele sigebengu, niphetse tinkemba netagila nje, kantsi nitewubamba mine.
49 Imihla nemalanga bengihlala nani ethempelini ngifundzisa, anizange seningibophe. Kodvwa kufanele kugcwaliseke umBhalo.”
50 Bonkhe bafundzi bakhe bamshiya babaleka.
51 Lelinye libhungu lalilandzela Jesu, lembetse indvwangu yelineni kuphela. Batsi bayalibamba,
52 laphunyula labashiya babambe lendvwangu, lacela empunzini, lingcunu.
53 Bachuba Jesu bammikisa kumPhristi Lomkhulu; bonkhe baphristi labakhulu, netibondza, netati temtsetfo tabutsana khona.
54 Phetro wamlandzela ahambela emuva le, waze wangena ebaleni lakamPhristi Lomkhulu. Wefika wahlala kanye nabogadzi, wotsa umlilo.
55 Baphristi labakhulu kanye neLiqoqo lonkhe bafuna bufakazi labangahle bambeke licala ngabo Jesu, khona batemlahla ngelicala lekufa, kodvwa abazange babutfole ngisho nabunye.
56 Labanyenti baletsa bufakazi bemanga ngaye, kodvwa nalobo bufakazi babo abuzange buhlangane.
57 Labanye basukuma bafakaza emanga ngaJesu, batsi:
58 “Simvile tsine atsi: ‘Ngitalibhidlita lelithempeli lelakhiwe ngetandla, ngibuye ngakhe lelinye lelingakakhiwa ngetandla tebantfu, ngilakhe ngemalanga lamatsatfu.’ ”
59 Nakhona lapho bufakazi babo abuzange buhlangane.
60 UmPhristi Lomkhulu wasukuma wema emkhatsini wabo bonkhe, wabuta Jesu watsi: “Awutiphendvuleli ngani kuloku labakushoko ngawe labantfu?”
61 Kodvwa Jesu wathula, wangete wamphendvula. Waphindza futsi umPhristi Lomkhulu wambuta watsi: “Unguye yini Khristu, iNdvodzana yaLobongekako?”
62 Jesu watsi: “Nginguye; ngitsi: Niyawuyibona iNdvodzana yeMuntfu ihleti ngesekudla saSomandla, ita ngemafu elizulu.”
63 UmPhristi Lomkhulu wadzabula imijiva yakhe, atsi: “Sisabufunelani lobunye bufakazi?
64 Nikuvile kuhlambalata kwakhe. Nitsini-ke nine?” Bonkhe bamlahla ngelicala, batsi kufanele abulawe.
65 Labanye bamkhafulela ngematse, bammbonya buso bakhe, bamshaya batsi: “Phrofetha!” Nabogadzi imbala bammukula.
66 Phetro asehleti entansi nelibala, kweta kuye intfombatana leyayingulesinye setisebenti temPhristi Lomkhulu;
67 yatsi kube ibone Phetro otsa umlilo, yambuka yase itsi kuye: “Nawe futsi bewuhamba naye lomNazaretha longuJesu.”
68 Kodvwa waphika Phetro watsi: “Angati, futsi angikuva nekutsi ukhuluma ngani.” Waphumela ngephandle esibuyeni. [Lichudze lase liyakhala.]
69 Yaphindza yambona lentfombatana, yase ikhuluma nalababeme naye yatsi: “Lo, ungulomunye wabo.”
70 Kodvwa Phetro waphindze waphika. Emvakwesikhashana lababeme naye batsi kuPhetro: “Kuliciniso kutsi ungulomunye wabo, ngobe naku ungumGalile.”
71 Kodvwa Phetro wafunga aticalekisa, watsi: “Angimati lomuntfu lenikhuluma ngaye!”
72 Masinyane lichudze lakhala kwesibili. Nembala Phetro wawakhumbula emagama aJesu ngesikhatsi atsi kuye: “Lichudze lingakakhali kwesibili wena utawube sewungiphike katsatfu.” Wadzabuka kakhulu enhlitiyweni yakhe, wakhala.
1 Kwanelela kwasa nje kwabutsana lonkhe Liqoqo, baphristi labakhulu, netibondza, netati, kanye nalamanye emalunga alo, bahlanganisa inkhulumo. Babopha Jesu bamchuba bayawumetfula kuPhilatu.
2 Philatu wambuta watsi: “Ungiyo yini inkhosi yemaJuda?” Jesu wamphendvula watsi: “Sewushito wena.”
3 Baphristi labakhulu bambeka emacala lamanyenti.
4 Waphindza Philatu wambuta watsi: “Ute yini imphendvulo longayisho? Buka kutsi bakubeka emacala lamanyenti kangakanani!”
5 Kodvwa Jesu akabange asamphendvula ngalutfo. Loko kwammangalisa kakhulu Philatu.
6 Kulomkhosi-ke Philatu abevamise njalo nje kubakhululela siboshwa sibe sinye lesicelwe ngulesicuku.
7 Ngaleso sikhatsi bekunesiboshwa ejele lesasinguBharaba, sasiboshwe kanye nalabanye lababevukele umbuso: ngekususa tiphitsiphitsi nangekubulala.
8 Sicuku sebantfu sasondzela kuPhilatu samncenga kutsi asentele leso sisa njengasemihleni.
9 Philatu wase uyababuta utsi: “Niyafuna yini kutsi nginikhululele inkhosi yemaJuda?”
10 Philatu abesabonile kutsi baphristi labakhulu babephetfwe ngumona nje lokutsi baze baletse Jesu la kuye.
11 Kodvwa baphristi labakhulu basifaka umoya lesicuku kutsi sicele Philatu asikhululele Bharaba, hhayi Jesu.
12 Philatu waphindza watsi kubo: “Ngitakwentani ngalomuntfu lenitsi yinkhosi yemaJuda?”
13 Bamemeta kakhulu futsi batsi: “Mbetsele esiphambanweni!”
14 Philatu watsi kubo: “Ngani, wenteni lengakalungi?” Kodvwa bamemeta kakhulu kunakucala batsi: “Mbetsele esiphambanweni!”
15 Ngako-ke Philatu atsandza kujabulisa ticumbi, wabakhululela Bharaba. Jesu asabhanjabuliwe, Philatu wabe sewumnikela esicukwini kutsi siyewumbetsela esiphambanweni.
16 Emasotja achuba Jesu amngenisa ngekhatsi kwesigodlo saPhilatu, ase abita yonkhe imphi yemasotja.
17 Amembatsisa umjiva lobovu webukhosi, eluka umchele lonemanyeva, awuhlisibetela enhloko yakhe.
18 Ase amshayela sihlutfu atsi: “Bayethe! Nkhosi yemaJuda!”
19 Abehle amshaya enhloko ngendvuku yenhlangamlambo, amkhafulele ngematse, aguce embikwakhe amkhotsamele.
20 Asamphukutile aze enela, ase ayamkhumula lomjiva lobovu webukhosi, amembatsisa tingubo takhe. Amkhiphela ngephandle aya kumbetsela esiphambanweni.
21 Emasotja asesendleleni ahlangana nendvodza yaseSirene, libito layo lalinguSimoni. Beyiphuma emaphandleni ite edolobheni. Beyinguyise wabo-Alekzanda naRufusi. Emasotja ayicindzetela kutsi yetfwale siphambano saJesu.
22 Achuba Jesu amyisa endzaweni lekwakutsiwa yiGolkotha, lokusho kutsi: “YiNdzawo yeSikobho”.
23 Wanikwa liwayini lelalibhicwe nemure, kodvwa wala kulinatsa.
24 Emasotja ambetsela esiphambanweni, abelana ngetingubo takhe, entelana inkatho kuze kubonakale kutsi lilinye belitawutfolani.
25 Bekuli-awa lemfica ekuseni nababetsela Jesu esiphambanweni.
26 Satiso selicala lakhe lesasibhalwe esiphambanweni besitsi: “INKHOSI YEMAJUDA.”
27 Kwabetselwa kanye naye tigelekece letimbili, lesinye ngesekudla, lesinye ngesancele sakhe. [
28 Ngako kwagcwaliseka umBhalo lotsi: “Wabalwa kanye netoni.”]
29 Bantfu labendlulako lapho babemetfuka banikine tinhloko batsi: “Wo! Wena longabhidlita lithempeli ubuye ulakhe ngemalanga lamatsatfu!
30 Tisindzise phela, wehle lapho esiphambanweni!”
31 Nebaphristi labakhulu kanye netati temtsetfo bebahlekisa ngaye, batsi: “Wabasindzisa labanye, kodvwa akasakwati kutisindzisa yena.
32 Nango-ke, Khristu, iNkhosi yaka-Israyeli! Sale wehla lapho esiphambanweni, kuze sitewubona sikholwe.” Nalaba lababebetselwe kanye naye nabo babemetfuka.
33 Kwatsi ngeli-awa leli-12 emini kwaba mnyama emhlabeni wonkhe, kwaze kwaba li-awa lesitsatfu.
34 Ngalelo awa Jesu wakhala ngelivi lelikhulu, watsi: “Eloyi! Eloyi! Lama sabakthani?” lokusho kutsi: “Nkulunkulu wami! Nkulunkulu wami! Ungishiyeleni?”
35 Labanye labebeme khona lapho nabamuva batsi: “Ase nimuve, ubita Elija.”
36 Lomunye wagijima watsatsa siponji wasicwilisa ewayinini lelimunyu, wasihloma endvukwini yenhlangamlambo, wamnatsisa, atsi: “Ase nime sesibone kutsi lo-Elija utawuta yini atemsita, ametfule lapha etulu.”
37 Jesu waphindze wamemeta ngelivi lelikhulu, wase uyafa.
38 Indvwangu yesihenco leyayilenga ethempelini yadzabuka ekhatsi kusukela etulu kwaya kuphuma phansi.
39 Kwatsi indvuna yelikhulu lebeyime lapho imbuka nakafa ngalendlela, yavuma yatsi: “Ngempela lomuntfu abengiyo iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu.”
40 Bekukhona nebafati lababebuka beme bucalu, emkhatsini wabo bekukhona Mariya waseMagdala, naSalome, naMariya, unina waboJosese naJakobe labemncane.
41 Labo-ke ngulababenaye aseseGalile, babemsita, bamkhonta. Bekukhona nalabanye nje-ke bafati labanyenti, lababete kanye naye eJerusalema.
42 Kwase kucalile kuhwalala. Phela kwakulilanga lekwenta emalungiselelo, lokusho kutsi kwakunguLesihlanu, kutakusa kuliSabatha.
43 Josefa wase-Arimathiya, umhlonishwa walelo Liqoqo, labe ngulomunye walababelindzele umbuso waNkulunkulu, wacunga sibindzi waya kuPhilatu ayewucela sidvumbu saJesu.
44 Philatu wamangala kwekutsi Jesu sewufile; wabita indvuna yemasotja wabuta kutsi ngabe sesikhatsi lesingakanani Jesu afile.
45 Watsi kube atfole imphendvulo endvuneni, wase uyavuma kutsi Josefa asitsatse lesidvumbu.
46 Josefa watsenga indvwangu yelineni, wasetfula sidvumbu saJesu, wasigocota ngalendvwangu, wayawusibeka ethuneni lelalimbiwe edvwaleni, wagicitela litje wavala ngalo umnyango walelithuna.
47 BoMariya waseMagdala naMariya, unaboJosese, babona lapho angcwatjwa khona Jesu.
1 Emvakwelilanga leliSabatha boMariya waseMagdala, naMariya, unaboJakobe, naSalome batsenga emakha bentela kuya bayewugcobisa ngawo sidvumbu saJesu.
2 Ekuseni ngeluvivi, ngeliSontfo, lilanga lekucala evikini, baya ethuneni; befika lilanga seliphuma.
3 Basesendleleni babehamba babutana bodvwana batsi: “Ngubani lotasigicitela lelitje lekuvalwe ngalo ethuneni?”
4 Batsi batsi ganganana, babona lelitje selisusiwe, phela kwakuyinguzanguza yelitje.
5 Batsi bayangena ethuneni, bakhandza libhungu lihleti ngesekudla, lembetse umjiva lomhlophe; bashaywa luvalo.
6 Latsi kubo: “Ningesabi! Nifuna Jesu waseNazaretha lona bekabetselwe esiphambanweni. Uvusiwe ekufeni, akasekho lapha. Nasi sikhundla lapho bebambeke khona.
7 Hambani nitjele bafundzi bakhe kanye naPhetro kutsi sewusembili, uya eGalile. Nitambona khona, njengobe anitjela.”
8 Baphuma babaleka ethuneni, ngobe bese bachachatela besaba kakhulu. Abazange sebayitsi vu ngisho nakumunye, ngobe bebesaba kakhulu.
9 Jesu asavukile ekufeni ekuseni ngeliSontfo, lilanga lekucala evikini, watibonakalisa kucala kuMariya waseMagdala, lona labekhiphe kuye emadimoni lasikhombisa.
10 Mariya wesuka lapho wahamba wayawutjela labo labekadze anabo; wabakhandza bakhala balila.
11 Kodvwa batsi nome beva kutsi uyaphila nekutsi yena sewumbonile, bangete bamkholwa kahle.
12 Emvakwaloko Jesu watibonakalisa, angulesinye simo, kulabanye bafundzi lababili lababehamba bacondze emaphandleni.
13 Babuyela emuva bafike batjela laba labanye bafundzi, kodvwa nabo abazange babakholwe.
14 Emvakwaloko Jesu watibonakalisa kubafundzi bakhe labebali-11, wabakhandza basadla. Wabasola ngekungakholwa kwabo nangebulukhuni betinhlitiyo tabo. Phela bebangabakholwa labo lababetsi bambonile kutsi sewuvukile.
15 Watsi kubo: “Hambani niye emhlabeni wonkhe, nishumayele liVangeli kubo bonkhe bantfu.
16 “Lowo lokholwako abhajatiswe, uyawusindziswa; kodvwa lowo longakholwa, uyawulahlwa.
17 Labakholwako bayawuba nanati tibonakaliso: Bayawukhipha emadimoni ngelibito lami, bakhulume ngetilimi letinsha,
18 ngeke behlelwe lutfo nababamba tinyoka nome nabanatsa lokubulalanako. Bayakubeka tandla kulabagulako baphile.”
19 Emvakwaloko, iNkhosi Jesu seyikhulumile nabo yatsatfwa yenyuselwa ezulwini, yahlala ngesekudla saNkulunkulu.
20 Bafundzi base bayahamba-ke bashumayela kuyo yonkhe indzawo. INkhosi yaba nabo yalifakazela livi layo, ngekwenta tibonakaliso ngalo. Amen. Labafati baya kuboPhetro nalabo labenabo bayawubabikela kafisha ngako konkhe lababekutjeliwe. Emvakwaloko Jesu matfupha watfumela ngebafundzi bakhe liVangeli lelingcwele lelingeke libhubhe. Wabatfumela kutsi leliVangeli lensindziso yaphakadze balishumayele emhlabeni wonke, jikelele.
