UMATEYU 13:1-32 IZIBHALO EZINGCWELE (XHO75)
Ke kaloku, kwangaloo mini waphuma uYesu endlwini, waya wahlala ngaselwandle. Kwahlanganisana kuye abantu abaninzi, wada yena wangena emkhombeni, wahlala phantsi; zathi zonke izihlwele zema elunxwemeni. Wathetha kubo iindawo ezininzi ngemizekeliso, esithi, Yabonani, umhlwayeli waphuma waya kuhlwayela. Ekuhlwayeleni kwakhe inxalenye yeenkozo yawa ngasendleleni, zeza iintaka zayidla zayigqiba. Ezinye ke zawa ezindaweni ezilulwalwa, apho bezingenamhlaba mninzi; zaphuma ke kwaoko, ngenxa yokuba bezingenabunzulu bamhlaba; zathi ke lakuphuma ilanga zatsha, zaza ngenxa yokuba zingenangcambu zoma kwaphela. Ezinye ke zawa emithaneni enameva, yaza imithana enameva yakhula yaziminxa. Ezinye ke zawa kuwo wona umhlaba omhle, zanika iziqhamo, olunye lwanika ikhulu, olunye amashumi amathandathu, nolunye amashumi amathathu. Lowo uneendlebe zokuva makeve. Beza abafundi bathi kuye, Kungani na ukuba uthethe kubo ngemizekeliso? Waphendula ke wathi kubo, Kungokuba nikuphiwe nina ukuzazi iimfihlelo zobukumkani bamazulu, babe ke bona bengakuphiwanga. Kuba osukuba enako, yena uya kuphiwa, aze abe nako ngokugqithiseleyo; kodwa osukuba engenako, uya kuhluthwa kwanoko anako. Ngenxa yoko ndithetha nabo ngemizekeliso; ngokuba bebona nje bengaboni, besiva nje bengeva, bengaqondi nokuqonda. Sizalisekele kubo ke isiprofeto sikaIsaya esithi, Ukuva niya kuva, ningakhe niqonde; Nithi nibona nje nibone, ningakhe niqiqe; Kuba intliziyo yaba bantu ithe fithi kukutyeba, Beva ngeendlebe ezithe nkqi, Bayawacima namehlo abo; Hleze babone ngamehlo, Beve ngeendlebe, Baqonde ngentliziyo, Bajike, Ndibaphilise. (UIsaya 6:910) Kodwa nina, anethamsanqa amehlo enu, ngokuba ebona; neendlebe zenu, ngokuba zisiva. Kuba ndithi kuni, Inene, baninzi abaprofeti nabantu abangamalungisa, abanqweneláyo ukuzibona izinto enizibonayo àbazibona; nokuziva izinto enizivayo, àbaziva. Nina ngoko wuveni umzekeliso womhlwayeli: akubon' ukuba ubani uyaliva ilizwi lobukumkani, engaliqondi, uyafika ongendawo, akuhluthe okuhlwayelwe entliziyweni yakhe; lo nguye lowo wahlwayelwa ngasendleleni. Lowo ke uhlwayelwa ezindaweni ezilulwalwa, ngulo ulivayo ilizwi, alamkele kwaoko ngovuyo; abe ke engenangcambu ngaphakathi kwakhe, eme umzuzwana kodwa; uthi ke kwakuhla imbandezelo nokuba yintshutshiso ngenxa yelizwi, akhutyekiswe kwaoko. Lowo ke uhlwayelwe emithaneni enameva, ngulo ulivayo ilizwi, lithi ke ixhala leli phakade, nokulukuhla kobutyebi, kuliminxe ilizwi, lisuke lingabi nasiqhamo. Lowo ke uhlwayelwe kuwo umhlaba omhle, ngulo ulivayo ilizwi aliqonde; othi yena okunene axakathe iziqhamo; omnye ke enze ikhulu, omnye amashumi amathandathu, nomnye amashumi amathathu. Wababekela omnye umzekeliso, esithi, Ubukumkani bamazulu bufanekiswa nomntu owahlwayela imbewu entle entsimini yakhe. Kuthe ke, xa baleleyo abantu, lwafika utshaba lwakhe, lwahlwayela umdiza phakathi kwengqolowa, lwemka. Ithe ke yakudubula, yakuba neenkozo, wandula ukubonakala nomdiza. Bezile ke abakhonzi bomninindlu, bathi kuye, Nkosi, ubungahlwayelanga imbewu entle yini na entsimini yakho? Phofu iwuzuze phi na umdiza? Wathi ke kubo, Ngumntu olutshaba owenze le nto. Bathi ke abakhonzi kuye, Ùyathanda na ke ukuba siye siwubuthe? Uthe ke, Hayi; hleze nithi, xa niwubuthayo umdiza, nincothule nengqolowa kunye nawo. Yekani kukhule ndawonye kokubini, kude kube sekuvuneni; ngenxa ke lokuvuna ndothi kubavuni, Buthani kuqala umdiza, niwubophe ube zizithungu, utshiswe, kodwa yona ingqolowa yihlanganiseleni kuvimba wam. Wababekela omnye umzekeliso, esithi, Ubukumkani bamazulu bufana nokhozo lwemostade, awaluthabathayo umntu, waluhlwayela entsimini yakhe; lona loluncinane okunene kuzo zonke iimbewu; kodwa xa luthe lwahluma, luyayidlula imifuno ngobukhulu, lube ngumthi, ngokokude iintaka zezulu zize zihlale emasebeni awo.
UMATEYU 13:1-32 IBHAYIBHILE (XHO96)
Kwangaloo mini uYesu waphuma endlwini, waya kuhlala ngaselwandle. Sahlanganisana ngakuye isihlwele, saba sikhulu kangangokuba yena waya kukhwela esikhitshaneni, wahlala kuso. Isihlwele sona sema elunxwemeni. UYesu ke wasifundisa isihlwele izinto ezininzi ngemizekeliso, esithi: “Kwakukho umhlwayeli owaphuma waya kuhlwayela. Ekuhlwayeleni kwakhe inxenye yembewu yawa endleleni, zeza iintaka zayichola zayigqiba. Enye imbewu yawa endaweni elulwalwa, apho ibingenamhlaba waneleyo; yantshula ke kwangoko, ngenxa yokungabi nabunzulu bamhlaba. Kuthe ke, lakuba shushu ilanga, yatsha, yathi ngenxa yokuba ingenazingcambu zendeleyo, yoma kwaphela. Enye yawa endaweni enokhula, olwathi lwakukhula lwayiminxa. Enye yawa kumhlaba olungileyo, yavelisa isiqhamo: enye yanika ikhulu, enye amashumi amathandathu, nenye amashumi amathathu. Oneendlebe zokuva makeve.” Beza kuYesu abafundi bakhe, bathi kuye: “Kutheni na ukuba uthethe nabo ngemizekeliso?” Waphendula wathi: “Kungenxa yokuba nina nikunikiwe ukuzazi iimfihlelo ezingolawulo lukaThixo, kodwa bona abakunikwanga. Lowo unako uya kunikwa, abe nako nangaphezulu; kodwa lowo ungenako uya kuhluthwa kwanoko anako. Ngenxa yoko ndithetha nabo ngemizekeliso. Kaloku bebona nje, ababoni; besiva nje abeva, bengaqondi nakuqonda. Kwenzeka kubo njengoko *umshumayeli uIsaya walithethayo ilizwi likaThixo esithi: “ ‘Nàkuphulaphula niphulaphule, ningaqondi noko; nàkujonga nijonge, ningaboni nto. Kuba ingqiqo yaba bantu ibuthuntu, bazivingcile iindlebe zabo, bawavala namehlo abo. Kungenjalo babeya kubona, beve ngeendlebe zabo, baqonde ngeengqondo zabo, baze babuyele kum, ndize ndibaphilise.’ “Kodwa nina ninoyolo, kuba ninamehlo abonayo, kwaneendlebe ezivayo. Ke ndithi kuni, inene, baninzi *abashumayeli nabantu abangamalungisa ababenqwenela ukuzibona izinto enizibonayo, àbazibona, nokuziva izinto enizivayo, àbaziva.” “Nina ke, yiveni ingcaciso yomzekeliso ngomhlwayeli. Ukuba ubani uthi azive iindaba ezingolawulo lukaThixo, angàziqondi, uyeza ongendawo akuhluthe oko kwakuhlwayelwe entliziyweni yakhe. Yiyo leyo imbewu ehlwayelwe endleleni. Imbewu eyahlwayelwa elulwalweni ifanekisa lowo uzivayo iindaba ezi, athi kwangoko azamkele ngovuyo. Onjalo akanazingcambu zendeleyo; uma okomzuzwana kuphela, athi kwakufika imbandezelo okanye intshutshiso ngenxa yeendaba ezi, oyisakale kwangoko. Eyahlwayelwa endaweni enokhula izekelisa lowo uzivayo iindaba ezi, aze ke amaxhala eli phakade, nokulukuhla kobutyebi, kuziminxe iindaba, kungabikho siqhamo. Eyahlwayelwa emhlabeni olungileyo ifanekisa lowo uzivayo aziqonde iindaba ezi, aze avelise isiqhamo, omnye ikhulu, omnye amashumi amathandathu, nomye amashumi amathathu.” Wabenzela nomnye umzekeliso uYesu, esithi: “Ukulawula kukaThixo kunokufaniswa, nomntu owahlwayela imbewu elungileyo entsimini yakhe. Kwathi ke, xa baleleyo abantu, kwafika utshaba lwakhe, lwahlwayela ukhula phakathi kwengqolowa, lwemka. Yakudubula ke ingqolowa, iqala ukuba neenkozo, lwabonakala ukhula. Zaza izicaka zaya kumnini-mzi, zathi kuye: ‘Nkosi, ibingeyombewu ilungileyo na oyihlwayeleyo entsimini yakho? Ngaba luvela phi na ke ukhula?’ Wathi kuzo: ‘Le nto yenziwe lutshaba.’ Zaza izicaka zathi kuye: ‘Ngaba ufuna siye kuluncothula na ukhula?’ Kodwa yena wathi: ‘Hayi, hleze kuthi xa nincothula ukhula, nincothule kwanengqolowa. Luyekeni ukhula, lukhule kunye nengqolowa, kude kube lixesha lokuvuna. Xa kuvunwayo ke, ndothi kubavuni: “Kuqala qokelelani ukhula, nilubophe izithungu, nilutshise, nize ke ingqolowa niyiqokelelele esiseleni sam.” ’ ” Wabenzela nomnye umzekeliso uYesu, esithi: “Ukulawula kukaThixo kunokufaniswa nokhozo lwembewu yemostade, athe ubani waluthatha, waluhlwayela entsimini yakhe. Ukhozo lwemostade lolona luncinane kunazo zonke iintlobo zembewu, kanti lwakukhula luba lukhulu kunayo yonke imifuno, lube ngumthi omkhulu kangangokuba neentaka zifike, zakhele emasebeni awo.”

Kwangaloo mini waphuma uYesu endlwini, waya wahlala ngaselwandle. Kwahlanganisana kuye abantu abaninzi, wada yena wangena emkhombeni, wahlala phantsi; yaye yonke indimbane yema elunxwemeni. Wathetha kubo iindawo ezininzi ngemizekeliso, esithi, Yabonani, umhlwayeli waphuma waya kuhlwayela. Ekuhlwayeleni kwakhe, inxalenye yembewu yawa ngasendleleni, zeza iintaka zayidla zayigqiba. Embi yawa ezindaweni ezilulwalwa, apho ibingenamhlaba mninzi; Zathi ke lakuphuma ilanga zagqatswa; zaza ngenxa yokuba zingenangcambu zoma kwaphela. Embi yawa emithaneni enameva; imithana enameva yakhula, yayiminxa. Enye yawa kuwo wona umhlaba olungileyo, yavelisa isiqhamo, enye ikhulu, enye amashumi amathandathu, nenye amashumi amathathu. Lowo uneendlebe zokuva makeve. Beza abafundi bathi kuye, Kungani na ukuba uthethe kubo ngemizekeliso? Waphendula ke wathi kubo, Kungokuba nikuphiwe nina ukuzazi iimfihlelo zobukumkani bamazulu, babe ke bona bengakuphiwanga. Kuba osukuba enako, yena uya kuphiwa, aze abe nako ngokugqithiseleyo; kodwa osukuba engenako, uya kuhluthwa kwanoko anako. Ngoko ke ndithetha nabo ngemizekeliso, kuba bona ababoni; besiva nje abeva, bengaqondi noko. Sizaliseka kubo ke isiprofeto sikaIsaya esithi, Ukuva niya kuva, ningaqondi; nokubona niya kubona, ningaqiqi; Kuba intliziyo yaba bantu ithe fithi kukutyeba, Beva ngeendlebe ezithe nkqi, Bayawacima namehlo abo; hleze babone ngamehlo, beve ngeendlebe, baqonde ngentliziyo, bajike, ndibaphilise. Kodwa anethamsanqa amehlo enu, ngokuba ebona; neendlebe zenu, ngokuba zisiva. Kuba ndithi kuni, Inene, baninzi abaprofeti nabantu abangamalungisa, abanqwenelayo ukuzibona izinto enizibonayo abazibona; nokuva izinto enizivayo, anaziva. Nina ngoko wuveni umzekeliso womhlwayeli: akubon’ ukuba ubani uyaliva ilizwi lobukumkani, engaliqondi, uyafika ongendawo, akuhluthe okuhlwayelwe entliziyweni yakhe; Nguye lo owahlwayelwa ngasendleleni; Lowo ke uhlwayelwe ezindaweni ezilulwalwa, ngulo ulivayo ilizwi, alamkele kwaoko ngovuyo; abe ke engenangcambu ngaphakathi kwakhe, eme umzuzwana kodwa; uthi ke kwakuhla imbandezelo nokuba yintshutshiso ngenxa yelizwi, akhutyekiswe kwaoko. Lowo uhlwayelwe emithaneni enameva, ngulo ulivayo ilizwi; Lithe ke ixhala leli phakade, nokulukuhla kobutyebi, kuliminxe ilizwi, lisuke lingabi nasiqhamo. Lowo ke uhlwayelwe kuwo umhlaba omhle, ngulo ulivayo ilizwi aliqonde; luxakatha isiqhamo, omnye lixakathe ikhulu, omnye amashumi amathandathu, nomnye amashumi amathathu. Wababekela omnye umzekeliso, esithi, Ubukumkani bamazulu bufanekiswa nomntu owahlwayela imbewu entle entsimini yakhe. Kuthe ke, xa baleleyo abantu, lwafika utshaba lwakhe, lwahlwayela umdiza phakathi kwengqolowa, lwemka. Ithe ke yakudubula, yakuba neenkozo, wandula ukubonakala nomdiza. Bezile ke abakhonzi bomninindlu, bathi kuye, Nkosi, ubungahlwayelanga imbewu entle yini na entsimini yakho? luvela phi na ke umdiza? Wathi kubo, Ngumntu olutshaba owenze le nto. Bathi abakhonzi kuye, Uyathanda na ke ukuba siye siwubuthe? Uthe ke yena, Hayi; hleze nithi, xa niwubuthayo umdiza, nincothule nengqolowa kunye nawo. Yekani kukhule ndawonye kokubini, kude kube sekuvuneni; ngexa ke lokuvuna ndothi kubavuni, Buthani kuqala umdiza, niwubophe ube zizithungu, utshiswe, kodwa yona ingqolowa yihlanganiseleni kuvimba wam. Wababekela omnye umzekeliso, esithi, Ubukumkani bamazulu bufana nokhozo lwemostade, awaluthabathayo umntu, waluhlwayela entsimini yakhe. Olona luncinane kuzo zonke iimbewu; kodwa xa luthe lwahluma, luyayidlula imifuno ngobukhulu, lube ngumthi, ngokokude iintaka zezulu zize zihlale emasebeni awo.
UMATEYU 13:1-32 Incwadi Yeziba̔lo Ezingcwele 1864, 1902 (Xhosa Appleyard) (XHO1902A)
KWA ngalomini wapuma u‐Yesu endlwini, wahlala pantsi ngaselwandle. Zaza zabutela kuye izihlwele ezininzi, wada wangena enqanaweni, wahlala pantsi: saye sonke isihlwele sibe simi elunxwemeni. Waza wateta kubo indawo ezininzi ngemizekeliso, esiti: Bona ke, umhlwayeli wapuma ukuya kuhlwayela; nasekuhlwayeleni kwake, ezinye inkozo zawa ngasendleleni, zati intaka zeza zazidla. Zawa nezinye endaweni ebulwalwa, apo bezingenawo umhlaba omninzi; zaza zasezipuma kamsinya, ngokuba zingenabo ubunzulu bomhlaba: zati nxa ilanga belipumile, zatshiswa; nangokuba zingenangcambo, zabuna. Zawa nezinye endaweni yemitolo; yaza imitolo yahluma, yazitshwencisa. Zawa nezinye emhlabeni olungileyo, zanika isiqa̔mo ke, olunye ngekulu, nolunye ngamashumi matandatu, nolunye ngamashumi matatu. Onendlebe zokuva, makeve. Beza ke abadisipile bati kuye: Kunganina ukuba utete nabo ngemizekeliso? Wapendula wati kubo: Kungokuba kunikiwe nina ukwazi imfihlakalo zobukumkani bezulu, kodwa akunikwanga bona abo. Ngokuba lowo usukuba enako, kuya kupiwa yena, waeya kwanezelelwa; kanti osukuba engenako, uya kuhlutwa kwa oko anako. Kungenxa yoku enditeta nabo ngemizekeliso; ukuba bebona nje bengaboni, nokuba besiva nje bengeva, bengaqondi nokuqonda. Kuze kuzalisekiswe kubo isiprofitesho sika‐Yisaya sokuti: Ngokuva niya kuva, ningezi niqonde; nibona nje niya kubona, ningezi niqiqe: ngokuba intliziyo yababantu idikiwe, nendlebe bazenze nzima ukuva kwazo, namehlo abo bawacimile; hleze babone ngamehlo, beve ngendlebe, baqonde ngentliziyo, baguquke, ndibapilise. Kodwa nina anetamsanqa amehlo enu, ukuba ebona; nendlebe zenu, ukuba zisiva. Ngokuba ngokwenene ndisiti kuni: Baninzi abaprofite nabantu abalungileyo ababenqwenela ukubona izinto enizibonayo, kanti abazibonanga; nokuva izinto enizivayo, kanti abazivanga. Nina ngoko yivani umzekeliso womhlwayeli: Nxa sukuba umntu esiva ilizwi lobukumkani, engaqondi ke, uyeza okohlakeleyo, ahlute oko kuhlwayelweyo entliziyweni yake: nguye lo owayehlwayelwa ngasendleleni. Nowayehlwayelwa endaweni ebulwalwa, nguye lo oti ilizwi alive, asuke alamkele ngovuyo; koko engenangcambo pakati kwake, uyenza umzuzu kodwa; kuze kuti, kwakuhla imbandezelo umhlaumbi intshutshiso ngenxa yelizwi, asuke axakaniswe. Nowayehlwayelwa endaweni yemitolo, nguye lo oti ilizwi alive; kanti isitukutezi selilizwe likoyo, nenkohliso yobutyebi, ziyaṙwisha ilizwi, lize liputiswe. Nowayehlwayelwa emhlabeni olungileyo, nguye lo oti ilizwi alive, aliqonde; oti kanjalo axakate izixakato, enze omnye ngokulikulu, nomnye ngokungamashumi matandatu, nomnye ngokungamashumi matatu. Omnye umzekeliso wawubeka pambi kwabo, esiti: Ubukumkani bezulu bufanekiswa nomntu owahlwayela imbewu elungileyo entsimini yake; koko, nxa bekulala abantu, kweza utshaba lwake lwahlwayela izizani kwa pakati kwayo inqolowa, lwemka ke. Kwaza kwati, okuya besihlumile isitombo, savelisa isiqa̔mo, kwandul’ ukubonakala izizani nazo. Zaye zisiza izicaka zomninindlu zati kuye: Nkosi! akwahlwayela imbewu elungileyo na entsimini yako? izuze pina pofu izizani? Waza wati kuzo: Ngumntu olutshaba okwenzileyo oku. Zati izicaka kuye: Uze utande na ukuba siye sizibute? Wati: Hai; hleze niti, nakuzibuta izizani, niyidonyule kunye nazo inqolowa: ziyekeni zombini zimile ndawonye kude kuvunwe; nangexesha lokuvuna ndiya kuti kubavuni: Zibuteni tanci izizani, nibope zona ngezitungu zitshiswe; kodwa inqolowa yinlanganiseleni esiseleni sam. Omnye umzekeliso wawubeka pambi kwabo, esiti: Ubukumkani bezulu bufana nokozo lwembewu yemositade, owalutabatayo umntu, waluhlwayela entsimini yake: eti okunene leyombewu ibe ncinane kuzo zonke imbewu; iti kodwa nxa imilileyo, ibe nkulu kayo imifuno, ibe ngumti, zide zize intaka zezulu, zihlale emasebeni awo.
