UMatewu 15 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

15 ¹Kwaza kwafika kuYesu abaFarisi nababhali bevela eYerusalem, bathi: ²“Kungani na ukuba abafundi bakho baphule isiko lamanyange? Abazihlambi izandla xa besidla.”

³Waphendula wathi: “Kungani na ukuba nani niphule umthetho kaBawo wethu ngenxa yesiko lenu? ⁴Kuba uBawo wethu wathi: ‘Beka uyihlo nonyoko,’ wathi kananjalo: ‘Othe watshabhisa uyise, nokuba ngunina, wobulawa afe.’ ⁵Ke nina nithi: ‘Othe wathi kuyise, nokuba ngunina: “Yonke into obunokuzuza yona kum isipho esinikelwe kuBawo wethu,” ⁶akasafanele ukumbeka ngayo uyise.’ Nilitshitshisile ilizwi likaBawo wethu ngenxa yesiko lenu. ⁷Nina bahanahanisindini! Waprofeta kakuhle uIsaya ngani, akuthi: ⁸‘Aba bantu bandizukisa ngemilebe yabo, kodwa intliziyo yabo ikude lee kum; ⁹bandinqula ngelize, befundisa imithetho yabantu njengemfundiso.’”

¹⁰Waza wabizela kuye indimbane, wathi: “Phulaphulani, niqonde: ¹¹Asiyonto ingena emlonyeni eyenza umntu abe yinqambi, yinto ephuma emlonyeni eyenza umntu abe yinqambi.”

¹²Baza beza kuye abafundi, bathi: “Uyazi na ukuba abaFarisi bakhubeke bakuva eli lizwi?”

¹³Waphendula wathi: “Sonke isityalo angasityalanga uBawo wam osemazulwini siya kunyothulwa. ¹⁴Bayekeni; baziinkokheli eziziimfama. Ukuba imfama ikhokela imfama, zombini ziya kweyela emhadini.”

¹⁵Wathi uPetros kuye: “Sityhilele lo mzekeliso.”

¹⁶Wathi uYesu: “Anikaqiqi nani na njengabanye? ¹⁷Aniqondi na ukuba yonke into engena emlonyeni idlulela esiswini, ize iphume phandle? ¹⁸Ke yona into ephuma emlonyeni ivela entliziyweni, yiyo eyenza umntu abe yinqambi. ¹⁹Kuba entliziyweni kuphuma iingcinga ezingendawo: ukubulala, ukukrexeza, uhenyuzo, ubusela, ubungqina obubuxoki, intlebendwane. ²⁰Zezi zinto ezenza umntu abe yinqambi, kodwa ukudla ngezandla ezingahlanjwanga akumenzi mntu abe yinqambi.”

Ukholo Olunyamezelayo Lomfazi

²¹Emka kuloo ndawo uYesu, wesuka waya kummandla waseTire naseTsidon. ²²Weza umfazi ongumKananekazi evela kuloo mmandla, edanduluka esithi: “Ndenzele inceba, Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide! Intombi yam idandathekiswa kakhulu yidemon.”

²³Akamphendulanga nelizwi. Beza abafundi bakhe bambongoza, besithi: “Mndulule, kuba uyadanduluka ngasemva kwethu.”

²⁴Waphendula wathi: “Ndithunyiwe kuphela kwizimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaSirayeli.”

²⁵Kodwa yena weza, waguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, esithi: “Nkosi, ndincede!”

²⁶Waphendula wathi: “Akulungile ukuthabatha isonka sabantwana, usiphose ezinjeni.”

²⁷Wathi yena: “Ewe, Nkosi, kodwa nezinja ziyazidla iimvuthuluka eziwayo etafileni yenkosi yazo.”

²⁸Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Mfazi, lukhulu ukholo lwakho. Makwenzeke njengoko uthanda.” Yaza yaphiliswa intombi yakhe, kususela kwelo lixa.

UBawo wethu Ondla Amawaka Amane

²⁹Emka apho uYesu, wahamba ngaselwandle lwaseGalili, wenyuka intaba, wahlala phantsi khona. ³⁰Zeza kuye izihlwele ezininzi zinezilima, neemfama, neziqhwala, nezidenge, nabanye abaninzi, zababeka ezinyaweni zakhe, wabaphilisa. ³¹Yamangaliswa ke indimbane, ibona izidenge zithetha, iziqhwala ziphiliswa, izilima zihamba, neemfama zibona; bamnika uzuko uBawo kaSirayeli.

³²Wababizela kuye abafundi bakhe uYesu, wathi: “Ndiyayisizela le ndimbane—selikho iintsuku ezintathu inam, ingenanto yokudla. Andithandi ukuba ndiyindulule ilambile; hleze ityhafe endleleni.”

³³Babuza abafundi: “Besiya kufumana phi na izonka ezaneleyo kule ndawo isenkangala, zokondla indimbane engaka?”

³⁴Wathi uYesu: “Zingaphi na izonka eninazo?” Bathi: “Zisixhenxe, nentlanzana ezimbalwa.”

³⁵Waza wayiwisela umthetho indimbane ukuba ihlale phantsi emhlabeni. ³⁶Wathabatha izonka ezisixhenxe neentlanzi, wabulela, waqhekeza, wabanika abafundi, baza bona bazinika izihlwele. ³⁷Badla bonke bahlutha, baza bathabatha iingobozi ezisixhenxe zizele ziimvuthuluka eziseleyo. ³⁸Ababedlile babengamadoda angamawaka amane, ngaphandle kwabafazi nabantwana. ³⁹Akuba eyindulule indimbane, wakhwela emkhombeni, waya kummandla waseMagadan.
