NgokukaMathewu 25:1-46 Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024 (CZB24)
Khona umbuso wezulu uyakufaniswa nezintombi eziyishumi ezathatha izibani zazo, zaphuma ukuyohlangabeza umyeni. Ezinhlanu kuzo zazihlakaniphile, ezinhlanu ziyiziwula. Eziyiziwula zathatha izibani zazo, azaphatha amafutha kanye lazo. Kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zaphatha amafutha ezitsheni kanye nezibani zazo. Kwathi umyeni esalibele, zozela zonke zalala. Kepha phakathi kobusuku kwamenyezwa ukuthi: ‘Nangu umyeni; phumani niyomhlangabeza. Khona zavuka lezo zintombi zonke, zalungisa izibani zazo. Eziyiziwula zasezisithi kwezihlakaniphileyo: Sipheni emafutheni enu; ngoba izibane zethu zicima. Kodwa ezihlakaniphileyo zaphendula zathi: Hatshi; hlezi angasaneli thina lani; kodwa hambani kakhulu kwabathengisayo, lizithengele. Zisaya kothenga, wafika umyeni; lezo ezazilungile zangena laye emshadweni, umnyango wavalwa. Ngasemuva zafika nezinye izintombi, zathi: Nkosi, Nkosi, sivulele. Kodwa waphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Anginazi. Ngakho lindani, ngokuba anazi usuku nehora iNdodana yomuntu eza ngayo. Ngokuba umbuso wezulu unjengomuntu owaya ezweni elikude, wabiza izinceku zakhe, wazinika impahla yakhe. Enye wayinika amatalenta ayisihlanu, enye amabili, nenye elilodwa; yilowo nalowo ngokwamandla akhe; wahle wasuka wahamba. Khona obamukele amatalenta ayisihlanu wahamba wasebenza ngawo, wazuza amanye amatalenta ayisihlanu. Kanjalo nobamukele amabili wazuza amanye amabili. Kepha obamukele yanye waya wemba emhlabathini, wayifihla imali yenkosi yakhe. Emva kwesikhathi eside yafika inkosi yalezo zinceku, yalandisana nazo. Weza obamukele amatalenta ayisihlanu, waletha amanye amatalenta ayisihlanu, wathi: ‘Nkosi, wanginika amathalenta ayisihlanu; bheka, ngizuze amanye amatalenta ayisihlanu.’ Inkosi yakhe yathi kuye: ‘Kuhle, nceku enhle nethembekileyo! Weza nobamukele amatalenta amabili, wathi: ‘Nkosi, wanginika amatalenta amabili; bheka, ngizuze amanye amatalenta amabili phezu kwawo. Inkosi yakhe yathi kuye: ‘Kuhle, nceku enhle nethembekileyo; ubuthembekile ezintweni eziyingcosana, ngizakubeka phezu kwezinengi; ngena entokozweni yenkosi yakho. Khona weza obamukele italenta lalinye, wathi: Nkosi, bengikwazi wena ukuthi ungumuntu olukhuni, uvuna lapho ongahlwanyelanga khona, ubutha lapho ongazange uhlakaze khona; Ngase ngesaba, ngaya ngalithukusa emhlabathini italenta lakho; bheka, usunakho okwakho. Inkosi yayo yaphendula, yathi kuyo: Nceku embi nevilaphayo, ubuwazi ukuthi ngivuna lapho engingahlwanyelanga khona, futhi ngibutha lapho ngingahlwazanga khona; Ngakho-ke ngabe ubeke imali yami kwabahwebi, khona-ke ekufikeni kwami ngabe ngimukele okwami nenzalo. Ngakho mthatheni italenta, nilinike onamatalenta ayishumi. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo onakho uyakuphiwa, abe nokuchichima; Lapho inceku engancediyo yiphoseleni ebumnyameni obungaphandle; lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo. Nxa iNdodana yomuntu iza ngenkazimulo yayo nezingelosi zonke ezingcwele kanye nayo, khona izakuhlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi. Kuyakubuthelwa phambi kwayo izizwe zonke, ibahlukanise abanye kwabanye, njengomalusi ehlukanisa izimvu nezimbuzi; Iyakumisa izimvu ngakwesokunene sayo, kodwa izimbuzi ngakwesokhohlo. Khona iNkosi izakuthi kwabangakwesokunene sayo: Wozani lina elibusiswe nguBaba, lidle ilifa lombuso eliwulungiselweyo selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba. Ngokuba ngangilambile, nanginika ukudla; ngangomile, nangiphuzisa; Nginqunu, nangembathisa; ngangigula, nangihambela; ngangiboshiwe, neza kimi. Khona bayakuyiphendula abalungileyo, bathi: ‘Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, sakupha ukudla na? noma womile, sakuphuzisa na? Sakubona nini ungumfokazi, sakungenisa endlini, na? noma uhamba ze, sakwembathisa na? Sakubona nini ugula, noma usetilongweni, seza kuwe na? Inkosi iyakuphendula, ithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba nikwenzile komunye walaba bafowethu abancane, nikwenzile nakimi. Khona iyakuthi nakwabangakwesokhohlo: Sukani kimi nina baqalekisiweyo, niye emlilweni ophakade olungiselwe uSathane nezingelosi zakhe; Ngokuba ngangilambile, kepha aninginikanga ukudla; ngangingumfokazi, aningingenisanga; nginqunu, aningigqokisanga; ngigula, ngisetilongweni, aningihambelanga. Khona bayakumphendula nabo, bathi: ‘Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, noma womile, noma ungowezizwe, noma uhamba-ze, noma ugula, noma usetilongweni, singakukhonzanga? Khona izabaphendula, ithi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba lingakwenzanga komunye walaba abancinyane, kalikwenzanga kimi. Laba bayakumuka ekujezisweni okuphakade, kepha abalungileyo baye ekuphileni okuphakade.

“Khona umbuso wezulu uzakufaniswa nezintombi ezilishumi ezathatha izibani zazo, zaphuma zayohlangabeza umyeni. Kepha eziyisihlanu kuzo zaziyiziwula, neziyisihlanu zihlakaniphile. Ngokuba eziyiziwula zathatha izibani, kodwa aziwaphathanga amafutha. Kepha ezihlakaniphileyo zawaphatha amafutha ngezitsha nezibani zazo. Kuthe umyeni esalibele, zonke izintombi zozela, zalala. “Kwathi phakathi kwamabili, kwamenyezwa kwathiwa: ‘nangu umyeni eza; phumani nimhlangabeze!’ “Zavuka zonke lezo zintombi, zalungisa izibani zazo. Kepha eziyiziwula zathi kwezihlakaniphileyo: ‘Sipheni amafutha kwawenu, ngokuba izibani zethu ziyacima.’ “Kepha ezihlakaniphileyo zaphendula, zathi: ‘Qha, funa angasaneli amafutha thina, nani. Okungcono hambani niye kwabathengisayo, nizithengele awenu.’ “Zisahambile ukuyokuthenga, wafika umyeni. Lezo ezazilungele, zangena naye edilini lomshado; kwase kuvalwa umnyango. “Kamuva, zafika nezinye izintombi, zathi: ‘Nkosi, nkosi, sivulele.’ “Kepha umyeni waphendula, wathi: ‘Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, anginazi.’ “Ngakho-ke hlalani nilindile, ngokuba anilwazi usuku nehora.” “Umbuso wezulu ufaniswa nomuntu okwathi esezakuhambela kwelinye izwe, wabiza izinceku zakhe, wazinika impahla yakhe. Enye wayinika amathalenta ayisihlanu, enye aba mabili, enye laba lilodwa vo; yileyo naleyo ngokwamandla ayo; wayesehamba-ke.
