UMatewu 13 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

13 ¹Ngaloo mini uYesu waphuma endlwini, waya kuhlala phantsi ngaselwandle. ²Zabuthelana kuye izihlwele ezikhulu, waza wangena emkhombeni wahlala phantsi, yaye yonke inkitha yabantu imi elunxwemeni.

³Wathetha nabo izinto ezininzi ngemizekeliso, esithi: “Khangelani, umhlwayeli waphuma esiya kuhlwayela. ⁴Kuthe ekuhlwayeleni kwakhe, enye imbewu yawela endleleni, zeza iintaka zayidla. ⁵Enye yawela emhlabeni onamatye, apho bekukho umhlaba omncinane, yantshula ngokukhawuleza ngenxa yokuba umhlaba ubungenabunzulu. ⁶Ke lakuphuma ilanga, zatsha izityalo; zisuke zoma ngenxa yokuba zazingenangcambu. ⁷Enye yawela phakathi kwemithana enameva, yakhula imithana enameva yayikrwitsha. ⁸Enye yawela emhlabeni olungileyo, yavelisa isiqhamo: enye imilinganiso elikhulu, enye amashumi amathandathu, enye amashumi amathathu. ⁹Lowo uneendlebe, makeve.”

¹⁰Baza beza abafundi kuye, bambuza: “Kutheni na, le nto uthetha nabo ngemizekeliso?”

¹¹Waphendula wathi: “Nina ninikiwe ukwazi iimfihlelo zobukumkani bukaBawo wethu; bona abazinikwanga. ¹²Kuba onako uya kongezelelwa, abe nokuninzi; ke ongenako, uya kuhluthwa nako anako. ¹³Yiyo loo nto ndithetha nabo ngemizekeliso: bakhangela bengaboni; baphulaphula bengeva, bengaqondi. ¹⁴Kubo kuzaliseka isiprofeto sikaIsaya, esithi: ‘Niya kuva, nive, kodwa aniyi kuqonda; niya kubona, nibone, kodwa aniyi kuqonda.’ ¹⁵Kuba intliziyo yaba bantu yaqina; iindlebe zabo zinobunzima bokuva, namehlo abo bawavale—hleze babone ngamehlo abo, beve ngeendlebe zabo, baqonde ngentliziyo yabo, baguquke, ndibaphilise.’

¹⁶Kodwa anoyolo amehlo enu, kuba ayabona, neendlebe zenu, kuba ziyeva. ¹⁷Inene ndithi kuni: baninzi abaprofeti namalungisa ababelangazelela ukubona enikubonayo nina, abakubona; nokuva enikuvayo nina, abakuva.

¹⁸Wuveni ngoko umzekeliso womhlwayeli. ¹⁹Wonke umntu oliva ilizwi lobukumkani angaliqondi—ufika ongendawo, ahluthe oko bekuhlwayelwe entliziyweni yakhe. Yiyo le mbewu ebihlwayelwe endleleni. ²⁰Imbewu eyahlwayelwa emhlabeni onamatye ngulowo uliva ilizwi, aze alamkele kwaoko ngovuyo, ²¹kodwa engenangcambu ngaphakathi kwakhe, akahlali; kuthi xa kufika imbandezelo nokuba yintshutshiso ngenxa yelizwi, akhubeke kwaoko. ²²Lowo wahlwayelwa phakathi kwemithana enameva, uliva ilizwi, kodwa ixhala ngeli xesha nenkohliso yobutyebi bulikrwitsha, lingenzi siqhamo. ²³Ke imbewu eyahlwayelwa emhlabeni olungileyo iliva ilizwi, iliqonde. Ivelisa isiqhamo—ikhulu, amashumi amathandathu, nokuba amashumi amathathu, nangako obekuhlwayelwe.”

Ingqolowa Nokhula Entsimini

²⁴Wabanika omnye umzekeliso, esithi: “Ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu bunjengandoda eyahlwayela imbewu elungileyo entsimini yayo. ²⁵Kodwa bathe bonke belele, kweza utshaba lwayo, lwahlwayela ukhula phakathi kwengqolowa, lwemka. ²⁶Yakuthi ingqolowa ihluma yenza isiqhamo, lwabonakala nokhula ngokunjalo. ²⁷Beza abakhonzi bomnini-ndlu, bathi: ‘Nkosi, akuhlwayelanga mbewu ilungileyo na entsimini yakho? Luvela phi na ke ngoko ukhula?’

²⁸Wathi: ‘Lutshaba olwenze le nto.’ Bathi kuye abakhonzi: ‘Uthanda ukuba sihambe siluncothule na?’

²⁹Wathi: ‘Hayi, kuba ngelixa niluncothula ukhula, ningade ninyothule ingqolowa kunye nalo. ³⁰Yekani kukhule kunye kude kube sekuvuneni. Ngexa lokuvuna ndiya kuthi kubavuni: Buthani kuqala ukhula, nilubophe izithungu ukuze lutshiswe; nize niyibuthele kuvimba wam ingqolowa.’”

Imbewu Yemostade Iba Ngumthi

³¹Wabanika omnye umzekeliso, esithi: “Ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu bunjengembewu yemostade eyathatyathwa yindoda yayityala entsimini yayo. ³²Nangona iyeyona incinane kwiimbewu zonke, yakukhula isuke ibe ngoyena mkhulu kwimifuno, ibe ngumthi apho iintaka zisiza khona ukuba zakhe iindlwana emasebeni awo.”

Ubukumkani Busebenza Njengegwele Elifihliweyo

³³Wabanika omnye umzekeliso, esithi: “Ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu bunjengegwele elathatyathwa ngumfazi walixuba kwizilinganiso ezisithoba zomgubo, lada lanyibilika kuyo yonke intlama.”

³⁴Zonke ezi zinto uYesu wazithetha ezihlweleni ngemizekeliso; akabanga nanto wayithethayo kubo engasebenzisi mzekeliso.

³⁵Oku kwazalisekisa oko kwathethwayo ngomprofeti, esithi: “Ndiya kuwuvula umlomo wam ngemizekeliso; ndiya kuvakalisa izinto ezazifihliwe kwasekusekweni kwehlabathi.”

UBawo Wethu Wahlula Ingqolowa Nokhula

³⁶Waza wazishiya izihlwele, wangena endlwini. Beza kuye abafundi bakhe, bathi: “Sicacisele umzekeliso wokhula entsimini.”

³⁷Waphendula wathi: “Lowo wahlwayela imbewu elungileyo nguNyana woLuntu. ³⁸Intsimi lihlabathi. Imbewu elungileyo ngabantwana bobukumkani; ukhula ngabantwana bongendawo. ³⁹Utshaba olwaluhlwayela lungumtyholi; ukuvuna sisiphelo sexesha; abavuni zizithunywa zezulu. ⁴⁰Njengoko ukhula lubuthwa lutshiswe emlilweni, kuya kuba njalo ekupheleni kwexesha. ⁴¹UNyana woLuntu uya kuthuma izithunywa zakhe, zisuse ebukumkanini bakhe zonke izinto ezibangela isono nabo bonke abenza okubi. ⁴²Zothi ziziphose eziko elivutha umlilo, apho kukho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo. ⁴³Baya kwandula ke abalungisileyo bakhanye njengelanga ebukumkanini bukaBawo wabo. Lowo uneendlebe makeve.”

Ubukumkani Buxabiseke Kunento Yonke

⁴⁴Ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu bunjengobutyebi obufihliweyo entsimini. Umntu wabufumana, waphinda wabufihla, waza ngemihlali wathengisa konke anako ukuze athenge loo ntsimi.

⁴⁵“Kananjalo, ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu bunjengomrhwebi ofuna iiperile ezihle. ⁴⁶Uthe akufumana iperile enye exabiso likhulu, waya wathengisa konke anako, wayithenga.

Umnatha Ubamba Zonke Iintlobo

⁴⁷Kananjalo, ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu bunjengomnatha ophoswe echibini, obutha iintlanzi zalo lonke uhlobo. ⁴⁸Wakuzala, ababambisi beentlanzi bawutsalela elunxwemeni, bahlala phantsi, baza babutha iintlanzi ezilungileyo ezityeni, baziphosa ezimbi. ⁴⁹Kuya kuba njalo ekupheleni kweli xesha: izithunywa ziya kuphuma, zibahlule abangendawo phakathi kwabalungisileyo, ⁵⁰ziziphose eziko elivutha umlilo, apho baya kulila batshixize amazinyo.”

⁵¹“Niziqondile na zonke ezi zinto?” Baphendula bathi: “Ewe.”

⁵²Wathi kubo: “Wonke umfundisi womthetho oqeqeshelwe ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu unjengomnini-ndlu okhupha evimbeni wakhe ubutyebi obutsha nobudala.”

UYesu Walelwa Kwelakowabo

⁵³Wathi uYesu akugqiba le mizekeliso, wemka apho.

⁵⁴Akubuyela kwelakowabo, wafundisa endlwini yabo yesikhungu, baza bamangaliswa, besithi: “Ubufumana phi na lo mntu obu bulumko nale misebenzi yamandla? ⁵⁵Lo asingunyana womchweli na? Unina akanguye na obizwa ngokuba nguMariya, nabazalwana bakhe ooYakobi, noYosefu, noSimon, noYuda? ⁵⁶Oodade bakhe bonke abekho na apha kuthi? Uzifumene phi na ke lo mntu zonke ezi zinto?”

⁵⁷Bakhubeka ngenxa yakhe. Kodwa uYesu wathi kubo: “Umprofeti uyazukiswa ndawo zonke, ingenguye kwelakowabo nasendlwini yakowabo.”

⁵⁸Akenzanga khona imisebenzi yamandla emininzi, ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo.
