Jesu ungena eJerusalema ngeludvumo
(Mat. 21:1-11; Luk. 19:28-40; Joh. 12:12-19)
1Batsi kube basondzele eJerusalema sebasedvute naseBhethifage neBhetani, ngaseNtsabeni Yemincumo, Jesu watfumela bafundzi bakhe lababili, 2watsi kubo: “Hambani nize ningene edolobhaneni lelimacondzana nani; nitawukhandza kukhungwe litfole lembongolo, lelingazange seligitjelwe. Nifike nilikhumule, nililetse la. 3Nakukhona lonibutako atsi: ‘Nikwentelani loko?’ nibotsi: ‘INkhosi iyalidzinga, italibuyisa masinyane.’ ”
4Bahamba-ke labo lababili balikhandza lelitfole likhungwe ngasesangweni, ngephandle kwemuti, ngasemgwacweni, balitfukulula. 5Labo lababeme lapho bababuta batsi: “Nentani? Nilikhumulelani lelitfole?”
6Babatjela loko labebakutjelwe nguJesu; nembala bantfu babayekela bahamba. 7Baliletsa kuJesu lelitfole. Bagaca tingubo tabo etikwalo, Jesu waligibela. 8Labanyenti bendlala tingubo tabo emgwacweni, labanye bendlala emagala etihlahla labebawagawule esigangeni. 9 Labo labebahamba embili nalabebahamba ngemuva babememeta batsi:
“Hosana!
Ubusisiwe lotako egameni leNkhosi!
10Ubusisiwe umbuso lotako wababe Davide!
Hosana kulelisetikwako konkhe!”
11Jesu wangena-ke eJerusalema, wacondza ngekhatsi ethempelini. Watsi kube acedze kubuka konkhe, wase uyengca uya eBhetani ngobe kwase kuhlwile, abehamba kanye nebafundzi bakhe lababeli-12.
Jesu ucalekisa umkhiwa
(Mat. 21:18-19)
12Ngakusasa nase babuya eBhetani, Jesu wativa asalambile. 13Wabona bucalu sihlahla semkhiwa sinemacembe, waya kuso ayewufuna emakhiwa. Watsi uyefika wakhandza kute, kungemacembe odvwa, ngobe bekungesiso sikhatsi semakhiwa. 14Watsi kulesihlahla: “Sale kubate muntfu loyakudla emakhiwa la kuwe nanini.”
Bafundzi bakhe bamuva nakasho njalo.
Jesu ucitsa lababhizinisa ethempelini
(Mat. 21:12-17; Luk. 19:45-48; Joh. 2:13-22)
15Befika eJerusalema. Jesu wangena ethempelini wakhipha bonkhe lababetsenga nalababetsengisa. Wagumbucela ematafula alababentjintja timali kanye netihlalo talabebatsengisa ngematuba. 16Abengavumeli 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!”
18Baphristi labakhulu kanye netati temtsetfo batsi kube bakuve loko, bafuna indlela lababengabulala ngayo Jesu, ngobe phela babemesaba, kwatise kutsi tonkhe ticuku tatitsatsekile ngalemfundziso yakhe, timangele.
19Kwatsi nakuhwalala Jesu nebafundzi bakhe baphuma edolobheni laseJerusalema.
Sifundvo ngemkhiwa lose ubunile
(Mat. 21:20-22)
20Ekuseni nase babuyela emuva, basibona lesihlahla semkhiwa sesome ngisho netimphandze taso. 21Phetro wayikhumbula indzaba yangayitolo, wase utsi: “Mfundzisi, buka lesa sihlahla losicalekise itolo, sesomile.”
22Jesu 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. [ 26Kodvwa naningatsetselelani, neYihlo losezulwini angeke anitsetselele emacala enu.]”
Umbuzo ngeligunya laJesu
(Mat. 21:23-27; Luk. 20:1-8)
27Babuyela-ke eJerusalema; watsi asaya ethempelini, baphristi labakhulu netati temtsetfo netibondza beta kuye, 28bambuta batsi: “Ulitsatsaphi ligunya lekwenta letintfo, kona ngubani lokunike leligunya lekutenta?”
29Jesu watsi: “Nami ngitanibuta livi libe linye; naninginika imphendvulo, ngitanitjela kutsi leligunya lengenta ngalo letintfo, ngilitsatsaphi. 30Ase ningitjele kutsi umbhabhatiso waJohane bewuphuma kuNkulunkulu yini nome bewuphuma kubantfu?”
31Bacale bakhulumisana bodvwana batsi: “Nasitsi: ‘KuNkulunkulu,’ utawutsi: ‘Animkholwanga ngani kepha?’ 32Kodvwa nasingatsi: ‘Kubantfu,’ ngeke silunge.” Phela babesaba bantfu, ngobe bonkhe bebabambelele ekutseni Johane abengumphrofethi cobo. 33Ngako base baphendvula Jesu batsi: “Awu, asati.”
Jesu-ke yena watsi: “Nami-ke ngeke nginitjele kutsi letintfo ngitenta ngaliphi ligunya.”
