Ukungena kukaYesu eYerusalem
(UMarko 11:1-10; uLuka 19:29-38; uYoh. 12:12-15)
1Kuthe, xa babesondele eYerusalem, befikile eBhetefage, kwiNtaba yemiNquma, uYesu wesusa abafundi bababini, esithi kubo, 2Yiyani emzaneni lo ukhangelene nani; kwaoko nofumana iesile libotshelelwe linethole, likhululeni nilizise kum. 3Nokuba kukho othe wathetha into kuni, nòthi, Ayafuneka eNkosini; wóthi ke awathumele kwaoko. 4Ke kaloku oku konke kwenzeke, ukuze kuzaliseke okwathethwayo ngomprofeti, esithi,
5Yithini kwintombi uZiyon,
Yabona, uKumkani wakho uza kuwe,
Enobulali, ekhwele e-esileni, ilithole ke,
Inkonyana yento ebotshwayo.
(UZek. 9:9)
6Baya ke abafundi, benza ngoko wayebamisele ngako uYesu, 7balizisa iesile nethole, babeka iingubo zabo phezu kwawo, bamhlalisa phezu kwazo. 8Yathi ke inkoliso yezihlwele yazandlala iingubo zayo endleleni; baye abanye bexhuzula amasebe emithini, bewandlala endleleni. 9Zaye ke izihlwele, ebezihamba ngaphambili nebezilandela, zidanduluka, zisithi, Hosana kuye unyana kaDavide! Makabongwe lo uzayo egameni leNkosi! Hosana enyangweni! 10Akungena eYerusalem, wonke umzi wazamazama, usithi, Ngubani na lo? 11Bathi ke abantu, Lo nguYesu, umprofeti ongowaseNazarete yelaseGalili.
Ukuhlanjululwa kwetempile
(UMarko 11:15-18; uLuka 19:45-48; uYoh. 2:13-17)
12Wangena uYesu etempileni kaThixo, wabakhupha bonke ababethengisa nababethenga etempileni, wazibhukuqa iitafile zabananisi bemali, nezihlalo zabathengisa ngamahobe; 13athi kubo, Kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Indlu yam iya kubizwa ngokuba yindlu yokuthandaza; ke nina niyenze umqolomba wezihange.
14Kweza kuye iimfama neziqhwala, etempileni apho, waziphilisa. 15Bathe ke ababingeleli abakhulu nababhali, bakuyibona imimangaliso awayenzayo, kwanabantwana bedanduluka etempileni, besithi, Hosana kuye unyana kaDavide: 16basuka bacaphuka, bathi kuye, Uyayiva na into abayithethayo aba? Athi ke uYesu kubo, Ewe; anizanga nikulese na ukuthi, Emlonyeni weentsana nabanyáyo ùlungiselele udumiso?
17Wabashiya, waphumela ngaphandle komzi, waya eBhetani, walala khona.
Umkhiwane ongenaziqhamo
(UMarko 11:12-14,19-24)
18Uthe ke kwakusa, xa abuyela kuwo umzi, walamba. 19Wathi, ebone mkhiwane uthile ngasendleleni, waya kuwo, akafumana nto kuwo, yangamagqabi odwa; athi kuwo, Makungaze kuvele siqhamo kuwe naphakade. Wasuka woma kwaoko umkhiwane lowo. 20Bakukubona oko abafundi, bamangaliswa, besithi, Ùtheni na ukoma msinya kangakanana umkhiwane? 21Waphendula ke uYesu wathi kubo, Inene, ndithi kuni, ukuba nithe nanokholo, anathandabuza, anisayi kwenza le nto yomkhiwane yodwa; kosuka, nokuba nithe kule ntaba, Thabatheka uphoseke elwandle, kwenzeke. 22Neento zonke enithe nazicela ekuthandazeni nikholwa, nozamkela.
Igunya likaYesu
(UMarko 11:27-33; uLuka 20:1-8)
23Kuthe akungena etempileni, xa afundisayo, beza kuye ababingeleli abakhulu namadoda amakhulu abantu, besithi, Ezi zinto ùzenza ngagunya lini na? Kananjalo ngubani na okunike eli gunya?
24Waphendula ke uYesu wathi kubo, Nam ndiya kubuza kuni zwi-nye; endothi, ukuba nithe nandixelela lona, ndinixelele nam ukuba ndizenza ngagunya lini na ezi zinto: 25Ubhaptizo lukaYohane lwaluphuma phi na, emazulwini, ebantwini, sini na? Bacamanga ke bodwa, besithi, Ukuba sithe, Lwaphuma emazulwini, wothi kuthi, Ibiyini na phofu ukuba ningakholwa nguye? 26Ukuba ke sithe, Lwaphuma ebantwini, soyika abantu; kuba bonke bebambe ukuthi uYohane ungumprofeti. 27Bamphendula uYesu bathi, Asazi.
Wathi naye kubo, Nam ke andinixeleli ukuba ndizenza ngagunya lini na ezi zinto.
Umzekeliso woonyana ababini
28Nithini na ke nina? Umntu wayenabantwana ababini; weza kowokuqala wathi, Mntwana wam, yiya kusebenza namhla esidiliyeni sam. 29Waphendula ke yena wathi, Andiyi; ke wabuya wazohlwaya, waya. 30Weza nakowesibini, wathetha kwangokunjalo. Waphendula ke yena wathi, Ndiyaya, nkosi; akaya. 31Nguwuphi na kwabo bobabini owenza ukuthanda kukayise? Bathi kuye, Ngowokuqala.
Athi kubo uYesu, Inene ndithi kuni, Bayaniphangela ke ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo ababuthi berhafu namahenyukazi. 32Ngokuba uYohane weza kuni ngendlela yobulungisa, anakholwa nguye; kodwa bákholwa nguye bona ababuthi berhafu namahenyukazi; ke nina, nakukubona oko, anibuyanga nizohlwaye, ukuze nikholwe nguye.
Umzekeliso wesidiliya
(UMarko 12:1-12; uLuka 20:9-18)
33Yivani omnye umzekeliso. Bekukho umninindlu othile owatyala isidiliya, wasibiyela ngothango, wemba kuso isixovulelo seediliya, wakha inyango, waqeshisa ngaso kubalimi, wahambela kwelinye. 34Kuthe ke lakusondela ixesha leziqhamo, wathuma abakhonzi bakhe kubalimi abo, ukuya kwamkela iziqhamo zaso. 35Besuka abalimi babathabatha abakhonzi bakhe, bathi omnye bamtyabula, omnye bambulala, nomnye bamgibisela ngamatye. 36Wabuya wathuma abanye abakhonzi, bebaninzi kunabokuqala, benjenjalo nakubo.
37Uthe ke kamva wathuma kubo unyana wakhe, esithi, Baya kumhlonela yena unyana wam. 38Bathe ke bakumbona unyana abalimi, batshono ukuthi, Lo yindlalifa; yizani simbulale, sihlale nelifa lakhe. 39Bamthabatha, bamkhuphela ngaphandle kwesidiliya, bambulala. 40Xa athe weza ngoko umninisidiliya, uya kwenza ntoni na kwabo balimi?
41Bathi kuye, uya kubatshabalalisa kakubi abangendawo abo, aze isidiliya eso aqeshise ngaso kubalimi bambi, abomamkelisa iziqhamo ngamaxesha azo.
42Athi kubo uYesu, Anizanga nilese na ezibhalweni ukuthi,
Ilitye abalicekisáyo abakhi,
Lelona laba yintloko yembombo;
Kwavela eNkosini oku,
Kungummangaliso emehlweni ethu?
(INdum. 118:22)
43Ngenxa yoko ndithi kuni, Ubukumkani bukaThixo buya kususwa kuni, bunikwe uhlanga oluzivelisayo iziqhamo zabo. 44Kanjalo lowo uwe phezu kweli litye uya kutyumka, ke lowo lithe lamwela liya kumcola.
45Bathi ababingeleli abakhulu nabaFarisi, bakuyiva imizekeliso yakhe, baqonda ukuba uthetha ngabo. 46Bathi befuna ukumbamba, boyika abantu, ekubeni ke babebambe ukuthi ungumprofeti.
