20 ¹“Kaloku ubukumkani bukaBawo wethu bunjengomninimhlaba owaphuma kwakusa esiya kuqesha abasebenzi esidiliyeni sakhe. ²Wavumelana nabasebenzi ngomvuzo wemini epheleleyo, wabathumela esidiliyeni sakhe. ³Malunga nelixa lesithathu lemini waphuma, wabona abanye bemi bengenzi nto embuthweni. ⁴Wathi kubo: ‘Yiyani nani esidiliyeni; nam ndoninika oko kufanelekileyo.’ Baya ke. ⁵Waphinda waphuma malunga nemini enkulu nangelixa lesithoba, wenza kwangokunjalo. ⁶Malunga nelixa leshumi elinanye waphuma, wafumana abanye bemi apho. Wathi kubo: ‘Yini na ukuba nime apha imini yonke ningenzi nto?’”

⁷“Bathi: ‘Kungenxa yokuba kungekho bani usiqeshileyo.’ Wathi: ‘Yiyani nani esidiliyeni.’

⁸“Kwathi kwakuhlwa, umninisidiliya wathi kumphathi wakhe: ‘Biza abasebenzi, ubahlawule imivuzo yabo, uthabathele kwabokugqibela use kwabokuqala.’ ⁹Kwathi bakufika abo baqeshwa malunga nelixa leshumi elinanye, elowo wamkela umvuzo wemini epheleleyo. ¹⁰Bakufika abokuqala, babecinga ukuba baya kwamkela okungaphezulu; kodwa nabo elowo wamkela umvuzo wemini epheleleyo. ¹¹Bakuwamkela bamkrokrela umninimhlaba, ¹²besithi: ‘Aba bokugqibela basebenze ilixa elinye lodwa, kanti ubenze balingana nathi esithwele ubunzima bemini nobushushu obutshisayo.’

¹³“Waphendula omnye kubo wathi: ‘Sihlobo, andikoni. Awuvumelananga na nam ngomvuzo wemini epheleleyo?’ ¹⁴Thabatha okukokwakho uhambe. Ndithanda ukumnika lo wokugqibela okufanayo nawe. ¹⁵Andinakuyenza na into endiyithandayo ngezinto ezizezam? Okanye unomona na ngenxa yokuba ndinobubele? ¹⁶Ngokunjalo abokugqibela baya kuba ngabokuqala, abokuqala babe ngabokugqibela.”

UYesu Uxela Ngomnqamlezo Kwangaphambili

¹⁷Wathi uYesu enyuka esiya eYerusalem, wabathabatha bucala abalishumi elinababini, wathi kubo endleleni:

¹⁸“Yabonani, sinyuka siya eYerusalem, uNyana woLuntu uya kunikwa kubabingeleli abakhulu nababhali, baya kumgweba ekufeni, ¹⁹bamnikele kweentlanga ukuba zimgculele, zimtyakatye, zimbethelele emnqamlezweni; kodwa ngomhla wesithathu uya kuvuswa.”

Ubukhulu Bokwenyaniso Kukukhonza

²⁰Waza weza kuye unina woonyana bakaZebhedi enoonyana bakhe, eguqa phambi kwakhe, ecela into kuye.

²¹Wathi kuye: “Ufuna ntoni na?” Wathi: “Tsho ukuba aba nyana bam bobabini bahlale omnye ngasekunene kwakho, nomnye ngasekhohlo kwakho, ebukumkanini bakho.”

²²Kodwa uYesu waphendula wathi: “Anikwazi enikucelayo. Ningayisela na indebe endiza kuyisela mna?” Bathi: “Singayisela.”

²³Wathi: “Niya kuyisela indebe yam; kodwa ukuhlala ngasekunene kwam nangasekhohlo asikokwam ukunikela ngako — koba ngokwabo bakulungiselweyo nguBawo.”

²⁴Bakukuva oko abalishumi, bacaphukela abazalwana bobabini.

²⁵UYesu wababizela kuye wathi: “Niyazi ukuba abalawuli beentlanga bayazigagamela, namadoda azo anamandla enza ngegunya phezu kwazo. ²⁶Akunjalo phakathi kwenu. Nakanjalo, othanda ukuba mkhulu phakathi kwenu makabe ngumkhonzi wenu, ²⁷nothanda ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu makabe likhoboka lenu, ²⁸kwanjengoko uNyana woLuntu engezanga ukuba akhonzwe, kodwa eze ukuba akhonze, anikele ngobomi bakhe bube lucamagusho ngenxa yabaninzi.”

Iimfama Ezimbini Zabuyelwa Kukubona

²⁹Kwathi bephuma eYeriko, isihlwele esikhulu samlandela. ³⁰Iimfama ezimbini ezazihleli ngasendleleni, zisiva ukuba uYesu uyadlula, zadanduluka zisithi: “Nkosi, senzele inceba, Nyana kaDavide!” ^a a v30 Igama elithi ‘uNyana kaDavide’ yayiligama elalaziwa kakhulu phakathi kwamaYuda, lisisihloko sokumkani owathenjiswayo, owayeya kuvela emnombeni wobukhosi kaDavide. ³¹Isihlwele sazikhalimela ukuba zithi cwaka, kodwa zona zamemeza ngakumbi, zisithi: “Senzele inceba, Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide!”

³²Wema uYesu, wazibiza, wathi: “Nifuna ukuba ndinenzele ntoni na?”

³³Zathi kuye: “Nkosi, amehlo ethu makavulwe.”

³⁴UYesu, esikwe yimfesane, wawachukumisa amehlo azo, zaza kwaoko zabuyelwa kukubona, zamlandela.
