ULUKA 18:18-43

Umphathi othile wambuza, esithi, Mfundisi ulungileyo, mandenze ntoni na, ukuze ndibudle ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade? Uthe ke uYesu kuye, Yini na ukuba uthi ndilungile? Akukho ulungileyo, mnye kwaphela, nguThixo. Ùyayazi imithetho: musa ukukrexeza, musa ukubulala, musa ukuba, musa ukungqina ubuxoki, beka uyihlo nonyoko. Uthe ke yena, Zonke ezo zinto ndazigcina kwasebuncinaneni bam. Ekuvile ke oko uYesu, wathi kuye, Kusekho ntonye uyisweleyo; zonke izinto onazo thengisa ngazo, wabele amahlwempu; woba nobutyebi ke emazulwini; uze undilandele. Ezivile ke ezo ndawo, waba buhlungu kakhulu; kuba ube esisityebi kunene. UYesu akumbona ke ebuhlungu kakhulu, wathi, Hayi, ukuba ngenkankulu, ukuthi abo banobutyebi bangene ebukumkanini bukaThixo. Kuba kulula ukuba inkamela iphumele entunjeni yenaliti, kunokuba isityebi singene ebukumkanini bukaThixo. Báthi ke abo bevayo, Ngubani na ke ongásindiswayo? Uthe ke yena, Izinto ezingenakwenzeka kubantu, zinokwenzeka kuye uThixo. Uthe ke uPetros, Uyabona, thina sishiye izinto zonke, sakulandela. Uthe ke yena kubo, Inene, ndithi kuni, Akukho namnye ushiye indlu, nokuba ngabazali, nokuba ngabazalwana, nokuba ngumfazi, nokuba ngabantwana, ngenxa yobukumkani bukaThixo, ongasayi kwamkela izinto eziphindaphindiweyo ngalo eli xesha, aze ngelo lizayo iphakade amkele ubomi obungunaphakade. Ke kaloku ubathabathile abalishumi elinababini, wathi kubo, Niyabona, siyenyuka, siya eYerusalem; zaye ziya kuphelela zonke izinto ezibhaliweyo ngabaprofeti, kuye uNyana woMntu. Kuba uya kunikelwa kuzo iintlanga, kudlalwe ngaye, aphathwe kakubi, atshicelwe; zimtyakatye, zimbulale; athi ngomhla wesithathu abuye avuke. Bona àbaqondanga nento kwezi zinto; laye neli lizwi lifihlakele kubo, babengazazi izinto ezithethwayo. Kwaye ke kaloku, ekusondeleni kwakhe eYeriko, kuhleli imfama ethile ngasendleleni, ingqiba. Ithe yakuva kudlula isihlwele, yamana ibuza ukuba ingaba yintoni na le. Bayixelela ke ukuba kudlula uYesu waseNazarete. Yabhomboloza isithi, Yesu, nyana kaDavide, ndénzele inceba. Baye abo babehamba ngaphambili beyikhalimela, ukuba ithi tu; kwaba kukhona ke yona ikhalayo ngakumbi, isithi, Nyana kaDavide, ndénzele inceba. Wema ke uYesu, wathi mayiziswe kuye. Yakusondela ke wayibuza, esithi, Ùfuna ukuba ndikwenzele ntoni na? Ithe ke yona, Nkosi, ukuba ndibuye ndibone. UYesu wathi kuyo, Buya ubone; ukholo lwakho lukusindisile. Kwangoko yabuya yabona, yamlandela imzukisa uThixo; bathi bonke abantu, bakukubona oko, badumisa uThixo.
