UMatewu 7 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

7 ¹“Musani ukugweba, ukuze ningagwetywa. ²Kuba niya kugwetywa ngomgwebo eniwusebenzisayo, nilinganiselwe ngomlinganiselo eniwunikayo. ³Kutheni na ukuba uyibone into encinane elisweni lomzalwana wakho, kodwa ungawuphawuli umqadi oselisweni lakho? ⁴Okanye ungatsho njani kumzalwana wakho ukuthi: ‘Makhe ndiyikhuphe into encinane elisweni lakho,’ lo gama umqadi ukho elisweni lakho? ⁵Mhanahanisi, kuqala ukhuphe umqadi elisweni lakho; wandule ke ubone kakuhle ukuba uyikhuphe into encinane elisweni lomzalwana wakho.

⁶“Musani ukunika izinja into engcwele, ningaziphosi iiperile zenu phambi kweehagu—hleze zizinyathele ngeenyawo, zize zibuye zinikrazule.

UBawo Uyabapha Abo Bacelayo

⁷“Celani, niya kukwamkela; funani, niya kufumana; nkqonkqozani, niya kuvulelwa. ⁸Kuba wonke umntu othe wacela uyamkela, othe wafuna uyafumana, othe wankqonkqoza uyakuvulelwa. ⁹Nguwuphi na umntu phakathi kwenu, oya kuthi unyana wakhe akucela isonka, amnike ilitye? ¹⁰Okanye, xa ecela intlanzi, amnike inyoka? ¹¹Ngoko ke, ukuba nina, ningendawo nje, niyakwazi ukunika abantwana benu izipho ezilungileyo, kobeka phi na ke uBawo wenu osemazulwini ukubanika izinto ezilungileyo abo bamcelayo!

¹²“Ngoko ke, ezintweni zonke, baphatheni abantu ngendlela enifuna baniphathe ngayo nani; kuba lo ngumthetho nabaprofeti.

¹³“Ngenani ngesango elimxinwa; kuba libanzi isango, ibanzi nendlela, esa entshabalalweni, baye baninzi abangena ngayo. ¹⁴Kodwa limxinwa isango, imxinwa nendlela, esa ebomini; mbalwa abayifumanayo.

Baziwa Ngeziqhamo Zabo

¹⁵“Balumkeleni abaprofeti bobuxoki: beza kuni bevathe isambatho sezimvu, kodwa ngaphakathi beziingcuka eziqwengayo. ¹⁶Niya kubazi ngeziqhamo zabo. Ngaba iidiliya zikhiwa kwimithana enameva, okanye imikhiwane kwiinkunzane? ¹⁷Ngokunjalo, wonke umthi olungileyo uvelisa iziqhamo ezilungileyo, kodwa umthi ombi uvelisa iziqhamo ezimbi. ¹⁸Umthi olungileyo awunako ukuvelisa iziqhamo ezimbi, nomthi ombi awunako ukuvelisa iziqhamo ezilungileyo. ¹⁹Wonke umthi ongavelisi siqhamo silungileyo uyagawulwa uphoswe emlilweni. ²⁰Ngoko ke, niya kubazi ngeziqhamo zabo.

Ngabo Kuphela Abenza Ukuthanda KukaBawo

²¹“Asingabo bonke abathi kum: ‘Nkosi, Nkosi,’ abaya kungena ebukumkanini bukaBawo wethu, kodwa ngulowo wenza ukuthanda kukaBawo osemazulwini. ²²Baninzi abaya kuthi kum ngaloo mini: ‘Nkosi, Nkosi, asiprofetanga na egameni lakho, sakhupha iidemon egameni lakho, senza imisebenzi emininzi yamandla egameni lakho?’ ²³Ndandule ke ndithi kubo ngokuphandle: ‘Andizange ndinazi; sukani kum, nina baphuli bomthetho.’

Yakha Phezu Kweliwa

²⁴“Ngoko ke, nabani na oweva la mazwi am aze awenze, uya kufaniswa nendoda esisilumko, eyakha indlu yayo phezu kweliwa. ²⁵Yana imvula, kwafika izikhukula, kwavuthuza imimoya, yabetha kuloo ndlu, kodwa ayizange iwe, ngokuba yayisekwe phezu kweliwa. ²⁶Ke wonke oweva la mazwi am aze angawenzi, ufana nendoda esisidenge, eyakha indlu yayo phezu kwentlabathi. ²⁷Yana imvula, kwafika izikhukula, kwavuthuza imimoya, yabetha kuloo ndlu, yaza yawa—kwaza kwaba kukhulu ukuwa kwayo.”

²⁸Kwathi, akugqiba uYesu ukuwathetha la mazwi, zamangaliswa izihlwele kukufundisa kwakhe, ²⁹ngokuba ebebafundisa njengonegunya, engafundisi njengababhali babo.
