Ukuthunywa Kwabalishumi Elinababini
Abalishumi elinababini bachazwa amagama baze bathunyelwe bengenamali bengenangubo yesibini, baye emizini enokuluvala ucango. UYesu uthetha engagungqi ngokubethwa, neenkundla, neentsapho ezijikelanayo. Kanti akukho ngqatyana iwayo ngaphandle koBawo wethu, neenwele zabo zibaliwe.
10 1UYesu wababiza abafundi bakhe abalishumi elinababini, wabanika igunya phezu koomoya abangcolileyo, ukuba babakhuphe baze baphilise zonke izifo nobulwelwe bonke. 2Ngawo la amagama abapostile abalishumi elinababini: owokuqala, nguSimon ekuthiwa nguPetros, noAndreya umzalwana wakhe; uYakobi unyana kaZebhedi, noYohane umzalwana wakhe; 3uFilipu noBhartolomeyu; uTomas noMateyu umbuthi werhafu; uYakobi unyana ka-Alifeyu noTadeyu; 4uSimon umZeloti noYuda Sikariyoti, lowo wamngcatshayo.
5Aba balishumi elinababini wabathuma uYesu, ebayalela esithi: “Musani ukuya kwimimandla yeentlanga, ningangeni emzini wamaSamariya. 6Yiyani kunoko kwizimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaSirayeli. 7Ekuhambeni kwenu, vakalisani esi sigidimi: ‘Busondele ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu.’ a a v7 Ibinzana elithi “ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu” lithatha indawo yelithi “ubukumkani bamazulu” eliqhelekileyo nelisetyenziswa nguMateyu kuyo yonke iVangeli yakhe. Omabini la mabinzana abiza kwanto inye — ulawulo lukaBawo wethu olungena ehlabathini. 8Philisani imilwelwe, nivuse abafileyo, nihlambulule abaneqhenqa, nikhuphe iidemon. Namkele ngesisa; yiphani ngesisa. 9Ningaphathi golide nasilivere nobhedu emibhinqweni yenu. 10Ningaphathi ngxowa yohambo, nangubo yesibini, nazimbadada, nantonga—kuba umsebenzi ufanelwe kukudla kwakhe. 11Nawuphi na umzi nedolophana eningena kuyo, buzani ukuba ngubani na ofanelekileyo apho, nihlale khona nide nimke. 12Ekungeneni kwenu endlwini, yibuliseni. 13Ukuba indlu leyo ifanelekile, uxolo lwenu maluphumle phezu kwayo; ukuba ayifanelekanga, maluphindele kuni. 14Ukuba ukho onganamkeliyo okanye ongawaphulaphuliyo amazwi enu, vuthululani uthuli ezinyaweni zenu ekumkeni kwenu kuloo ndlu nakuloo mzi. 15Inene ndithi kuni: iya kuba ngcono eSodom naseGomora ngomhla womgwebo kunaloo mzi.
16Yabonani, ndinithumela njengeemvu eziphakathi kweengcuka; ngoko ke yibani ngabalumkileyo njengeenyoka, nibe msulwa njengamavukuthu. 17Balumkeleni abantu; kuba beya kuninikela kwiintlanganiso zamatyala, banityakathe ezindlwini zabo zesikhungu. 18Ngenxa yam niya kusiwa phambi kweerhuluneli nookumkani, kube bubungqina kubo nakwiintlanga. 19Kodwa xa beninikela, ningaxhaleli into eniya kuyithetha nokuba niya kuyithetha njani—kuba niya kunikwa eniya kukuthetha ngelo xesha, 20kuba asinini abathethayo, nguMoya kaBawo wenu othetha ngani.
21Umzalwana uya kungcatsha umzalwana ekufeni, noyise angcatshe umntwana wakhe; abantwana baya kuvukela abazali babo, babenze ukuba babulawe. 22Bonke abantu baya kunithiya ngenxa yegama lam, kodwa lowo unyamezelayo ade afike esiphelweni uya kusindiswa. 23Xa benitshutshisa komnye umzi, balekelani komnye. Inene ndithi kuni: aniyi kuyigqiba imizi yakwaSirayeli engekafiki uNyana woLuntu.
24Umfundi akangaphezu komfundisi, nomkhonzi akangaphezu kwenkosi yakhe. 25Kwanele ukuba umfundi abe njengomfundisi wakhe, nomkhonzi abe njengenkosi yakhe. Ukuba intloko yendlu bayibiza ngokuba nguBhelezebhule, kobeka phi na ke kwabendlu yakhe!
26Ngoko ke musani ukuboyika. Akukho nto igqunyelweyo engayi kutyhilwa, nefihliweyo engayi kwaziwa. 27Oko ndikuthethayo kuni emnyameni, nikuthethe emini; oko kusetyezwa endlebeni yenu, nikuvakalise phezu kwezindlu. 28Musani ukoyika abo babulala umzimba bengenako ukubulala umphefumlo; kunoko yoyikani lowo unako ukutshabalalisa umphefumlo kunye nomzimba esihogweni.
29Oongqatyana ababini abathengiswa ngemalanana na? Kanti akukho namnye kubo owela emhlabeni ngaphandle kukaBawo wenu. 30Kanjalo neenwele zentloko yenu zibaliwe zonke. 31Ngoko ke musani ukoyika; nina nixabiseke ngaphezu koongqatyana abaninzi.
32Ngoko ke, lowo uvuma mna phambi kwabantu, nam ndiya kumvuma phambi koBawo wam osemazulwini. 33Kodwa lowo undikhanyelayo phambi kwabantu, nam ndiya kumkhanyela phambi koBawo wam osemazulwini.
34Musani ukucinga ukuba ndize kuzisa uxolo emhlabeni; andizanga kuzisa xolo, ndize kuzisa ikrele. 35Kuba ndize kwahlula umntu noyise, intombi nonina, umolokazana noninazala wakhe, 36iintshaba zomntu zoba ngabendlu yakhe. 37Lowo uthanda uyise nonina ngaphezu kwam akandifanelanga; lowo uthanda unyana nentombi ngaphezu kwam akandifanelanga. 38Lowo ungathabathi umnqamlezo wakhe andilandele akandifanelanga. 39Lowo ufumana ubomi bakhe wolahlekelwa bubo, nalowo ulahlekelwa bubomi bakhe ngenxa yam wobufumana.
40Lowo unamkelayo wamkela mna, nalowo wamkela mna wamkela lowo undithumileyo. 41Lowo wamkela umprofeti ngenxa yokuba engumprofeti, uya kufumana umvuzo womprofeti; nalowo wamkela ilungisa ngenxa yokuba elilungisa, uya kufumana umvuzo welungisa. 42Nalowo unika nje indebe yamanzi abandayo komnye waba bancinane, ngenxa yokuba engumfundi wam, inene ndithi kuni, akasayi kuwulahlekelwa umvuzo wakhe.”
