Umzekeliso womgwebi ongenabulungisa
1Ke kaloku, wayethetha nomzekeliso kubo, wokuba bamelwe kukuhlala bethandaza, bangethi amandla; esithi 2Kwaye kukho umgwebi emzini othile, ongamoyikiyo uThixo, ongamhloneleyo nomntu. 3Bekukho ke umhlolokazi othile kuloo mzi, obemana ukuza kuye, esithi, Ndíkhulule kummangaleli wam. 4Kwaba mzuzu engavumi; kodwa kamva wathi ngaphakathi kwakhe, Nakuba ndingamoyiki uThixo, ndingamhlonele nomntu: 5noko, ngenxa yokuba lo mhlolokazi endibulala, ndomlungisa, ndimkhulule, hleze ade eze andaphule.
6Ithe ke iNkosi, Kuveni okuthethwa ngumgwebi ongalungisiyo. 7Ke yena uThixo akayi kukha abalungise na abanyulwa bakhe, abakhala kuye imini nobusuku, noko azeka kade umsindo ngabo? 8Ndithi kuni, Uya kubalungisa, abakhulule kamsinya. Kodwa ke akufika uNyana woMntu, wolufumana na ke ukholo ehlabathini apha?
Umzekeliso womFarisi nombuthi werhafu
9Ke kaloku wathetha lo mzekeliso nakwabathile, ababekholose ngokuthi ngaphakathi kwabo bangamalungisa, bengabenzé nto abanye: 10Amadoda amabini enyuka aya etempileni, esiya kuthandaza; enye ingumFarisi, enye ingumbuthi werhafu. 11UmFarisi, ezimise yedwa, wayethandaza esithi, Thixo, ndiyabulela kuwe, ukuba ndingènjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, abangemalungisa, abakrexezi; ndingènjengaye nalo mbuthi werhafu. 12Ndizila ukudla kabini ngeveki, ndinikela izishumi zako konke endikuzuzayo. 13Waye umbuthi werhafu emi kude, engathandi nokuphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini; wamana ukubetha esifubeni sakhe, esithi, Thixo, yiba netarhu kum, mna moni.
14Ndithi kuni, Wehla lo waya endlwini yakhe, egwetyelwe yena kunalowa; ngokuba wonke umntu oziphakamisayo uya kuthotywa; nozithobayo ke uya kuphakanyiswa.
UYesu nabantwana
(UMat. 19:13-15)
15Ke kaloku baye bezisa kuye neentsana zabo, ukuze azichukumise; bebonile ke abafundi, babakhalimela. 16Ke yena uYesu wazibizela kuye, wathi, Bavumeleni abantwana beze kum, ningabaleli; kuba ubukumkani bukaThixo bubobabo banjalo. 17Inene, ndithi kuni, Othe akabamkela ubukumkani bukaThixo njengomntwana, akasayi kukha angene kubo.
Indodana esisityebi
(UMat. 19:16-30)
18Umphathi othile wambuza, esithi, Mfundisi ulungileyo, mandenze ntoni na, ukuze ndibudle ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade?
19Uthe ke uYesu kuye, Yini na ukuba uthi ndilungile? Akukho ulungileyo, mnye kwaphela, nguThixo. 20Ùyayazi imithetho: musa ukukrexeza, musa ukubulala, musa ukuba, musa ukungqina ubuxoki, beka uyihlo nonyoko. 21Uthe ke yena, Zonke ezo zinto ndazigcina kwasebuncinaneni bam. 22Ekuvile ke oko uYesu, wathi kuye, Kusekho ntonye uyisweleyo; zonke izinto onazo thengisa ngazo, wabele amahlwempu; woba nobutyebi ke emazulwini; uze undilandele. 23Ezivile ke ezo ndawo, waba buhlungu kakhulu; kuba ube esisityebi kunene.
24UYesu akumbona ke ebuhlungu kakhulu, wathi, Hayi, ukuba ngenkankulu, ukuthi abo banobutyebi bangene ebukumkanini bukaThixo. 25Kuba kulula ukuba inkamela iphumele entunjeni yenaliti, kunokuba isityebi singene ebukumkanini bukaThixo. 26Báthi ke abo bevayo, Ngubani na ke ongásindiswayo? 27Uthe ke yena, Izinto ezingenakwenzeka kubantu, zinokwenzeka kuye uThixo.
28Uthe ke uPetros, Uyabona, thina sishiye izinto zonke, sakulandela. 29Uthe ke yena kubo, Inene, ndithi kuni, Akukho namnye ushiye indlu, nokuba ngabazali, nokuba ngabazalwana, nokuba ngumfazi, nokuba ngabantwana, ngenxa yobukumkani bukaThixo, 30ongasayi kwamkela izinto eziphindaphindiweyo ngalo eli xesha, aze ngelo lizayo iphakade amkele ubomi obungunaphakade.
UYesu okwesithathu ukuxela kwangaphambili ukufa kwakhe
(UMat. 20:17-19)
31Ke kaloku ubathabathile abalishumi elinababini, wathi kubo, Niyabona, siyenyuka, siya eYerusalem; zaye ziya kuphelela zonke izinto ezibhaliweyo ngabaprofeti, kuye uNyana woMntu. 32Kuba uya kunikelwa kuzo iintlanga, kudlalwe ngaye, aphathwe kakubi, atshicelwe; zimtyakatye, zimbulale; 33athi ngomhla wesithathu abuye avuke. 34Bona àbaqondanga nento kwezi zinto; laye neli lizwi lifihlakele kubo, babengazazi izinto ezithethwayo.
Imfama yaseYeriko
(UMat. 20:29-34)
35Kwaye ke kaloku, ekusondeleni kwakhe eYeriko, kuhleli imfama ethile ngasendleleni, ingqiba. 36Ithe yakuva kudlula isihlwele, yamana ibuza ukuba ingaba yintoni na le. 37Bayixelela ke ukuba kudlula uYesu waseNazarete. 38Yabhomboloza isithi, Yesu, nyana kaDavide, ndénzele inceba. 39Baye abo babehamba ngaphambili beyikhalimela, ukuba ithi tu; kwaba kukhona ke yona ikhalayo ngakumbi, isithi, Nyana kaDavide, ndénzele inceba.
40Wema ke uYesu, wathi mayiziswe kuye. Yakusondela ke wayibuza, esithi, 41Ùfuna ukuba ndikwenzele ntoni na? Ithe ke yona, Nkosi, ukuba ndibuye ndibone. 42UYesu wathi kuyo, Buya ubone; ukholo lwakho lukusindisile. 43Kwangoko yabuya yabona, yamlandela imzukisa uThixo; bathi bonke abantu, bakukubona oko, badumisa uThixo.
