ULUKA 19:29-48

Kwathi, akusondela eBhetefage naseBhetani, engasentabeni ekuthiwa yeyemiNquma, wathuma ababini kubafundi bakhe, esithi kubo: “Hambani niye kule dolophana ikhangelene nathi. Nothi ningena nje kuyo, nifumane inkonyana yedonki ibotshelelwe, ekungazange kukhwele mntu kuyo. Yikhululeni, niyizise apha. Ukuba ubani uthe kuni: ‘Niyikhululela ntoni loo donki?’ ze nithi: ‘Iyafunwa yiNkosi.’ ” Basuka ke baya abo babethunyiwe, bafika kunjengoko wayetshilo uYesu. Bakuyikhulula inkonyana, abaniniyo bathi kubo: “Niyikhululela ntoni loo nkonyana?” Bathi ke bona: “Iyafunwa yiNkosi.” Bayisa ke kuYesu, bandlala iingubo zabo phezu kwayo inkonyana yedonki leyo, bamkhwelisa kuyo uYesu. Ehamba njalo, bamana bezandlala iingubo zabo endleleni. Ke kaloku akusondela ethambekeni leNtaba yemiNquma, yathi yonke inkitha yabafundi yavuya, yadumisa uThixo imemelela, imdumisa ngayo yonke imimangaliso eyayibonayo, isithi: “Makabongwe lo Kumkani uzayo egameni leNkosi! Uxolo ezulwini; udumo kweliphezulu!” Abathile *kubaFarasi esihlweleni apho bathi kuYesu: “Mfundisi, bakhalimele abafundi bakho.” Waphendula wathi kubo: “Inene, kungáthi nje kukhe kwathi cwaka aba, kunkqangaze namatye la.” Akusondela uYesu, esibona isixeko, wasililela esithi: “Akwaba nawe, Jerusalem, ubuzazi namhlanje izinto ezikuzisela uxolo! Kodwa ngoku zifihlakele kuwe! Kuya kufika imihla eziya kuthi iintshaba zakho zakhe udonga lokuzikhusela ekukuhlaseleni kwazo, zikungqinge, zikuxine macala onke. Ziya kukudiliza, zibatshabalalise abakuwe, zingashiyi nalinye ilitye phezu kwelitye, ngenxa yokuba ungalazanga ixesha lokuvelelwa kwakho nguThixo.” UYesu wangena *endlwini kaThixo, waza wabakhupha abo babethengisa khona, esithi kubo: “*EziBhalweni uThixo uthi: ‘Indlu yam yindlu yokuthandaza.’ Ke nina niyenzé umqolomba wezihange. ” Imihla ngemihla wayefundisa endlwini kaThixo apho. Ke ababingeleli abaziintloko, nabachazi-mthetho, kwaneenkokheli zabantu, babefuna ukumbulala; kodwa ababanga nakufumana nto banokuyenza, kuba bonke abantu babenamathele kuye, bemphulaphula.
