Jesu utfuma labangema-72
1Ngemuva kwaloko iNkhosi yakhetsa labanye labangema-72, leyabatfuma ngababili kutsi bahambe ngembili kwayo bangene kuwo onkhe emadolobha netindzawo, lapho yayitawuhamba khona. 2 Yase itsi kubo: “Kuvuna kukhulu, kodvwa tisebenti tincane. Thandazani kumnikati wekuvuna kutsi atfumele letinye tisebenti tekuvuna. 3 Hambani-ke, nginitfumela njengetimvu emkhatsini wetimphisi.
4 “Ningasiphatsi sipatji nome sikhwama salabacelako, nome ticatfulo; ningalitjatiswa ngisho nakubingelela bantfu endleleni. 5Nome ngukuyiphi indlu leningena kuyo nibotsi: ‘Kuthula akube kulendlu!’ 6Nangabe lapho kuhlala umuntfu wekuthula, kumbingelela kwenu kutawuhlala kuye; nangabe akunjalo, loko kuthula kwenu kutawubuyela kini. 7 Hlalani kulendlu, nidle ninatse loko labataninika kona; ngobe sisebenti kufanele sitfole liholo laso. Ningahambi ningena tindlu ngetindlu. 8Njalo nje naningena edolobheni banemukela, nibodla labaniphakela kona, 9nibaphilise labagulako kulelo dolobha, bese nibatjela nitsi: ‘Umbuso waNkulunkulu sewusondzele kini.’ 10 Kodvwa nabanganemukeli kulelo dolobha, phumelani ngephandle etindleleni, bese nitsi: 11‘Nelutfuli lwelidolobha lenu lolunamatsele etinyaweni tetfu silutsintsitsela kini, kodvwa khumbulani kutsi umbuso waNkulunkulu sewusondzele kini!’ 12 Nginitjela kutsi: Ngelilanga lekwehlulela labakulelo dolobha Nkulunkulu uyawubajezisa kamatima kunebaseSodoma.”
Emadolobha langakholwa
(Mat. 11:20-24)
13 “Maye kuwe Khorazini! Maye nakuwe Bhethsayida! Ngobe kube letimangaliso letentiwe kuwe betentiwe eThire naseSidoni, bantfu balapho ngabe kadze baphendvuka; bebayawuhlala phansi, bembatse emasaka, batitsele ngemlotsa bentele kubonakalisa kutsi batishiyile tono tabo.
14“Ngelilanga lekwehlulela niyawujeziswa kamatima kunebaseThire nebaseSidoni. 15 Wena-ke Khaphanawume, ucabanga kutsi uyawuphakanyiselwa ezulwini yini? Cha! Uyakwehliselwa esihogweni.”
16 Wase utsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Lonilalelako, ulalela mine; longanemukeli, akemukeli mine; nalowo longangemukeli, akamemukeli nalowo longitfumile.”
Kubuya kwalabangema-72
17Labangema-72 babuya bajabule kakhulu. Befika batsi: “Nkhosi, ngisho nemadimoni ayasilalela nasiwekhuta ngelibito lakho.”
18Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Ngabona Sathane awa ezulwini ehla njengembane. 19 Bukani la! Ngininike emandla ekunyatsela tinyoka, nabofecela, nemandla ekuncoba sitsa; kute lokuyawunilimata. 20 Ningajabuli ngobe imimoya lemibi initfobela; kodvwa jabulani kutsi emabito enu abhaliwe ezulwini.”
Jesu uyajabula
(Mat. 11:25-27; 13:16-17)
21Ngaso leso sikhatsi Jesu wajabula kuMoya Longcwele, watsi: “Yebo, Babe, Nkhosi yelizulu nemhlaba, konkhe loku utifihlele tati netihlakaniphi, kodvwa wakwembula kubantfwana. Yebo, Babe, loko kwaba yintsandvo yakho.
22 “Konkhe nginikwe nguBabe. Kute lowatiko kutsi iNdvodzana ingubani ngaphandle kweYise, kantsi kute lowatiko kutsi uYise ngubani ngaphandle kweNdvodzana nalabo iNdvodzana lefuna kumbonakalisa kubo.”
23Jesu wase ugucukela kubafundzi bakhe emasitseleni utsi: “Maye, abusisiwe emehlo labona lenikubonako! 24Ngiyanitjela ngitsi: Baphrofethi nemakhosi lamanyenti abefisa kukubona loku lenikubonako, kodvwa abakubonanga, bebafuna nekuva loku lenikuvako, kodvwa abazange bakuve.”
Umfanekiso ngemSamariya lolungile
25 Lesinye sati semtsetfo seta satawulinga Jesu sicondze kumetsiya. Sabuta satsi: “Mfundzisi, kufanele ngenteni kuze ngitewutfola kuphila lokuphakadze?”
26Jesu wasiphendvula watsi: “Umtsetfo utsini? Uwufundza njani?”
27 Lendvodza yamphendvula yatsi: “Kufanele utsandze Nkulunkulu, iNkhosi yakho, ngenhlitiyo yakho yonkhe, nangemphefumulo wakho wonkhe, nangemandla akho onkhe, nangengcondvo yakho yonkhe; bese utsandza makhelwane wakho njengobe utitsandza wena.”
28 Jesu watsi kuye: “Imphendvulo yakho ilungile; yenta loko uyawuphila.”
29Kepha sati semtsetfo sifuna kutitsetselela, sabuta satsi: “Ngubani makhelwane wami?”
30Jesu waphendvula ngekutsi: “Umuntfu lotsite abephuma eJerusalema aya eJerikho. Wahlaselwa tigebengu, tadzabula tingubo takhe, tamshaya, tamshiya asatawufa. 31Kwenteka kwendlula umphristi ehla ngaleyo ndlela; watsi kube ambone lomuntfu, wamgega. 32Kanjalo nemLevi wefika lapho, waya wambuka lomuntfu, naye washaya ngale kwakhe. 33 Kepha umSamariya lotsite labehamba ngaleyo ndlela wamkhandza; watsi kube ambone lomuntfu, wamhawukela. 34Waya kuye, wamtsela ngeliwayini amgcobisa nangemafutsa emancebeni, wawabopha ngendvwangu, wase umgibelisa embongolweni yakhe, wamyisa endlini yetihambi lapho amongela khona. 35Ngakusasa lomSamariya wakhipha imali lengemasiliva lamabili, wayinika umnikati walendlu yetihambi. Watsi kuye: ‘Ngongele nangu umuntfu wami, nase ngibuya ngitakukhokhela tonkhe tindleko takhe.’ ”
36Jesu wephetsa ngekutsi: “Ngumuphi-ke walabantfu labatsatfu longatsi waba ngumakhelwane kulomuntfu lowahlaselwa tigebengu?”
37Sati semtsetfo saphendvula satsi: “Ngulona lowaba nesihawu kuye.”
Jesu waphendvula ngekutsi: “Hamba, nawe wente njalo!”
Jesu uvakashela Mata naMariya
38 Kwatsi asahamba Jesu nebafundzi bakhe, wase yena uphambukela emtini lotsite lapho emukelwa nguMata endlini yakhe. 39Abenadzadzewabo labenguMariya lowafike wahlala phansi ngasetinyaweni teNkhosi alalela kufundzisa kwayo. 40Mata waze wacansulwa kudlangelwa ngumsebenti labewenta; ngako wefika watsi: “Nkhosi, awusangiboneleli dzadzewetfu angibukelela ngemsebenti longaka? Mtjele kutsi atengisita.”
41INkhosi yamphendvula yatsi: “Mata, ye Mata! Utikhatsata ngetintfo letinyenti, 42kodvwa yinye kuphela ledzingekile. Mariya ukhetse intfo lengiyo sibili, kunjalo nje angeke ayemukwe ngumuntfu leyo ntfo.”
