uMateyu 21:1-22

Ke kaloku, bakusondela eYerusalem, befikile eBhetefage, eNtabeni yemiNquma, uYesu wesusa abafundi bababini, wathi, Athi kubo, Hambani niye emzaneni lo ukhangelene nani, nofumana kwaoko iesile libotshelelwe, linethole; likhululeni nilizise kum. Ukuba kukho othe wathetha into kuni, nothi, Ayafuneka eNkosini; wothi kwaoko azithumele. Konke oku kwenzeke, ukuze kuzaliseke okwathethwayo ngomprofeti, esithi, Yithini kwintombi uZiyon, Yabona, uKumkani wakho uza kuwe, Elulamile, ekhwele e-esileni, nethole le-esile. Bahamba ke abafundi, benza njengoko uYesu wayebayalele ngako, balizisa iesile nethole, babeka iingubo zabo phezu kwazo, bamhlalisa phezu kwazo. Yathi ke inkoliso yezihlwele yazandlala iingubo zayo endleleni; abanye bagawula amasebe emithini, bawandlala endleleni. Zaye ke izihlwele, ebezihamba ngaphambili, nebezilandela, zidanduluka, zisithi, Hosana kuye unyana kaDavide! Makabongwe lowo uzayo egameni leNkosi; Hosana enyangweni. Akungena eYerusalem, wonke umzi wazamazama, usithi, Ngubani na lo? Zathi ke indimbane, Lo nguYesu, umprofeti ongowaseNazarete yelaseGalili. Waza uYesu wangena etempileni kaThixo, wabakhupha bonke ababethengisa nababethenga etempileni, wazibhukuqa iitafile zabatshintshi bemali, nezihlalo zabathengisa ngamahobe. Wathi kubo, Kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Indlu yam iya kubizwa ngokuba yindlu yokuthandaza; Ke nina niyenze umqolomba wezihange. Kweza kuye iimfama neziqhwala, etempileni apho, waziphilisa, wabaphilisa. Bathe ke ababingeleli abakhulu nababhali, bakuyibona imimangaliso awayenzayo, kwanabantwana bedanduluka etempileni, besithi, Hosana kuye uNyana kaDavide: bacaphuka kakhulu, bathi kuye, Uyayiva na into abayithethayo aba? Athi kubo uYesu, Ewe; anizanga nikulese na ukuthi, Emlonyeni weentsana nabanyayo ulungiselele indumiso? Wabashiya, waphuma ngaphandle komzi, waya eBhetani; walala khona. Uthe ke kwakusa, xa abuyela kuwo umzi, walamba. Wathi, ebone mkhiwane uthile ngasendleleni, waya kuwo, akafumana nto kuwo, yangamagqabi odwa; wathi kuwo, Makungaze kuvele siqhamo kuwe naphakade. Wabuna kwangoko umkhiwane lowo. Bakukubona oko abafundi bakhe, bamangaliswa, besithi, Utheni na ukubuna kwangoko umkhiwane? Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Inene, ndithi kuni, Ukuba nithe nanokholo, anathandabuza, anisayi kwenza le nto yomkhiwane yodwa; nothi kule ntaba, Thabatheka; uphoseke elwandle; iya kwenziwa. Neento zonke enithe nazicela ekuthandazeni nikholwa, nozamkela.
