Ukukhalinywa ngokuzenzisa
(Mt 10:26-27)
1Ngesikhatheso iinkulungwana ngeenkulungwana zabantu bezidindelana, kangangombana bebagadangelana, uJesu wathoma ukukhuluma qangi ebafundini bakhe wathi: “Yelelani ingumelo yabaFarisi ekukuzenzisa. 2Akukho okugutjuziweko okungeze kwagutjululwa namkha okufihliweko okungeze kwaziwa. 3Nje-ke koke enikukhulumela ebumnyameni kuzakuzwakala ekukhanyeni, nenikuhlebako ningemalawini angaphakathi kuzakumenyezelwa ephahleni.”
Loyo ekufuze simesabe
(Mt 10:28-31)
4“Kodwana ngiyanitjela nhlobo zami ngithi: Ningabesabi labo ababulala umzimba ngemva kwalokho bangasakghona ukwenza ilitho. 5Yeke ngizanitjengisa bona nesabe bani: Yesabani loyo othi ngemva kokubulala umzimba abe namandla wokuniphosela ngesirhogweni. Iye, ngiyanitjela ngithi mesabeni loyo!
6“Iinyoni ezihlanu azithengiswa ngeempaparwana ezimbili na? Kodwana akukho neyodwa yazo uZimu ayikhohlwako. 7Ngambala, ngitjho nazo iinhluthu zeenhloko zenwezo zibalwe zoke. Ningesabi ngombana nina niqakatheke khulu kuneenyoni ezinengi.”
Ukuvuma nokuphika uKrestu
(Mt 10:32-33; 12:32; 10:19-20)
8“Ngiyanitjela bona nanyana ngubani ongivuma phambi kwabantu, iNdodana yoMuntu nayo izamvuma phambi kweengilozi zakaZimu. 9Kodwana loyo ongiphika phambi kwabantu, naye uzakuphikwa phambi kweengilozi zakaZimu.
10“Woke umuntu okhuluma ngokujamelana neNdodana yoMuntu uzakucolelwa, kodwana nanyana ngubani ohlambalaza uMoya oCwengileko, angekhe acolelwa.
11“Lokha nanilethwa ngemasinagogini, phambi kwabaphathi nababusi, ningatshwenyeki bona nizazivikela njani namkha nizakuthini, 12ngombana uMoya oCwengileko uzanifundisa ngesikhatheso bona nithini.”
Umfanekiso ngomlimi onothileko osidlhayela
13Omunye esiqubuthwini wathi kuJesu: “Mfundisi, tjela umfowethu bona ahlukaniselane nami ilifa.”
14UJesu wamphendula wathi: “Ndoda, ngubani ongibeke ukuba mgwebi namkha umabi phakathi kwenu na?” 15Godu uJesu wakhuluma kibo boke wathi: “Yelelani! Hlalani niqaphele boke ubumarhamaru ngombana ipilo yomuntu ayikabunjwa ngobunengi bepahlakhe.”
16Yeke wabatjela umfanekiso lo: “Iqulwani yomuntu othileko nosikhumkani, yaba nesithelo esihle. 17Wadlumbana wathi, ‘Ngizokwenza njani ngombana nakhu anginandawo yokubuthelelela isivuno sami nje?’ 18Yeke wathi, ‘Nakhu engizokwenza: Ngizakugiriza iinlulu zami, ngakhe ezikulu lapha ngizakubeka khona woke amabele nepahlami. 19Alo-ke ngizakuthi emphefumulwenami: Mphefumulo, unepahla enengi engathatha iminyaka. Zigedle, ugome bewusele uthokoze!’ 20Kodwana uZimu wathi kuye, ‘Wena sidlhayela ndina! Ebusukwinobu umphefumulwakho uzokubizwa, alo-ke ngubani ozakufumana zoke izintwezi ozibekele zona na?’ ”
21“Kuzakuba njalo-ke nakinanyana ngubani ozibekela izinto kodwana abe angakanothi ngehlangothini laka Zimu.”
Ukutshwenyeka ngepilo
(Mt 6:25-34)
22UJesu wathi ebafundini bakhe: “Yeke-ke ngiyanitjela bona ningatshwenyeki ngepilwenu ukobana nizokugomani namkha nitshwenyeke ngemizimbeni ukobana nizokwembathani. 23Ipilo iqakatheke ukwedlula ukugoma nomzimba uqakatheke ukwedlula izambatho. 24Qalani amagubulu: Akalimi namkha avune, akanazo nezindlu zamagugu namkha iinlulu, khonapho uZimu uyawondla. Nina-ke niqakatheke khulu kuneenyon! 25Ngubani phakathi kwenu ngokutshwenyeka ongandisa ipilwakhe nge-awara linye na? 26Njengombana ningakghoni ukwenza okuncanokhu nje, alo nitshwenyekelani ngokunengi na? 27Qalani bona amakhwa wenarha akhula njani. Akasebenzi namkha aluke intambo, kodwana ngiyanitjela bona ngitjho nekosi uSolomoni kibo boke ubuphaziphazi bakhe azange embathe njengokhunye kwalokhu. 28Nakube uZimu wembesa utjani benarha, obukhona namhlanjesi kuthi kusasa bufakwe emlilweni, angabhalelwa yini-ke ukwembesa nina na? Maye nina eninokukholwa okuncani!
29“Yeke ningabeki iinhliziyo zenu ekuthini nizagomani namkha niseleni, ningatshwenyeki ngalokho 30ngombana abantu bephaseli ngibo abagijimela ezintweni ezinjalo. UYihlo uyazi bona niyazidinga izintwezo. 31Kodwana funani umbuswakhe, yeke koke lokhu nakho nizakuphiwa khona.”
Ubukhumkani ezulwini
(Mt 6:19-21)
32“Ningesabi nina mhlanjana omncani ngombana uYihlo kwamthokozisa khulu ukunipha umbuso. 33Thengisani ipahlenu bese nabela abadududu, ngokwenza njalo nizabe nizibonelela ngeenkhwanyana zemali ezingekhe zoma, okumnono wezulwini ongekhe waphela. Iye, lapha kungekhe kwangena khona isela nomvunya. 34Ngambala lapha umnonwakho ukhona, ilapho nehliziywakho.
Inceku ehlala ilindile
35“Yembathani nilungele umsebenzi, neembani zenu zihlale zivutha, 36njengamadoda alindele ikosawo kobana ibuye emnyanyeni womtjhado ukuze kuthi nayifikako, ikokoda, ayivulele umnyango msinyazana. 37Kuzakuba kuhle eencekwinezo ekuzakuthi ikosazo nayifikako izifunyane ziqaphile. Ngiqinisile ngiyanitjela bona izakwembatha izambatho zokusebenza, izihlalise etafuleni bese iyazitenda. 38Kuzakuba kuhle eencekwinezo, ikosazo ezifumana zizilungiselele, ngitjho nanyana ifika ngomlindo wesibili namkha wesithathu wobusuku. 39Kodwana lemukani lokhu: Nakube umninikhaya bekasazi bonyana isela lizakuza ngasiphi isikhathi, ubangekhe avuma bonyana ikhaya lakhe lifahlwe. 40Nani ngokunjalo kumele nihlale nilungile ngombana iNdodana yoMuntu izakufika ngesikhathi eningakayilindeli ngaso.”
Inceku ethembekileko namkha engakathembeki
(Mt 24:45-51)
41UPitrosi wathi: “Kosi, utjela thina sodwa umfanekiso lo, namkha utjela woke umuntu na?”
42IKosi yaphendula yathi: “Alo-ke ngubani umphathi othembekileko nohlakaniphileko na? Ngiloyo ikosi ezambeka bona aqale iinceku zayo kobana aziphe ukugoma kwazo ngesikhathi esifaneleko na? 43Kuzakuba kuhle encwekini leyo ikosi ezayifunyana isenza njalo nayibuyako. 44Kwamambala ngiyanitjela bona ikosi izakwenza inceku leyo ilawule yoke ipahla yayo. 45Kodwana akhe sithi inceku leyo izitjela ithi, ‘Ikosami ithatha isikhathi eside ukubuya’, bese ithome ukubetha iinceku neencekukazi ezinye, igome, isele beyidakwe. 46Ikosi yenceku leyo izakubuya ngelanga inceku leyo ingakayilindeli nangesikhathi engakatjheji ngaso. Izayiqunta iinquqwana iyilahlele endaweni yabangakholwako.
47“Inceku ethi iyazi kuhle intando yekosayo, kodwana ingazimiseli bona iyenze namkha ingeze yenza ekufunwa yikosayo, izakubethwa imivuvu eminengi. 48Kodwana inceku engaziko bese yenza izinto ezibanga ukuhlunguphazwa, izakubethwa imivimbo embalwa. Woke ophiwe okunengi, kuzakuthathwa okunengi kuye; kuthi ophathiswe okunengi, kubizwe kuye okunengi ngaphezu kwalokho.”
UJesu uyahlukanisa
(Mt 10:34-36)
49“Ngizele ukuzokuphosela umlilo ephasini begodu ngifisa kangangani ukube thana sele uvutha! 50Kodwana nginombhabhadiso ekumele ngibhajadiswe ngawo; begodu ngizasoloko ngikhathazekile bewufike! 51Nidlumbana bona ngilethe ukuthula ephasinapha na? Awa, ngiyanitjela bona ngilethe ukwahlukana. 52Ukusukela gadesi bazakuba bahlanu emndenini munye abalwa babodwa, abathathu bazakulwa nababili, nababili balwe nabathathu. 53Iye bazakuhlukana, ubaba ajamelane nendodana nendodana ijamelane nobaba, umma ajamelane nendodakazi nendodakazi ijamelane nomma, unosokana ajamelane nomalukazana nomalukazana ajamelane nonosokana.”
Ukwazi isikhathi
(Mt 16:2-3)
54UJesu wathi esiqubuthwini: “Nanibona ilifu livela ngetjingalanga, khonapho nithi, ‘Lizokuna’, kwamambala line. 55Lokha ummoya wesewula nawuvunguzako nithi, ‘Kuzokutjhisa’, kwamambala kube njalo. 56Bazenzisi ndina! Nanikghona ukuhlathulula ubujamo bephasi nomkayi, kwenziwa yini-ke ningakghoni ukuhlathulula isikhathi sagadesi na?”
Ukubuyisana
(Mt 5:25-26)
57“Kubayini ningaqunti nina ngokwenu bona ngikuphi okulungileko na? 58Nawuya nomjamelanakho ebandla, linga ngamandla ukubuyisana naye nisesendleleni, nakungasinjalo uzakudosela kumgwebi bese umgwebi akunikelele ngesikhulu, isikhulu sikuphosele ngesikhungweni. 59Ngiyakutjela bona awuzukuphuma ngapho kufikela ukhokhe upenyanakho wokugcina.”
