UNyana woLuntu Uyaxolela Aphilise
Ukuxolela izono zendoda eyome umzimba kucaphukisa ababhali; ukudla etafileni kaMateyu kucaphukisa abaFarisi. Intombazana efayo nomfazi ophuma igazi baphiliswa bobabini ngohambo olunye. Ebona izihlwele zingenamalusi, uxelela abafundi ukuba bacele kuBawo wethu abasebenzi bokuvuna.
9 1UYesu wangena emkhombeni, wawela, waza wafika kowabo umzi.
2Abanye beza kuye nomntu owome umzimba, elele elukhukweni. Uthe uYesu akuyibona ukholo lwabo, wathi kowome umzimba: “Yomelela, nyana; zixolelwe izono zakho.”
3Bathe bakuva oku, abathile phakathi kwabafundisi bomthetho bathi ngaphakathi kubo: “Lo mntu uyanyelisa.”
4Ezazi izicamango zabo uYesu wathi: “Yini na ukuba niqulathe okubi ezintliziyweni zenu? 5Yintoni na elula: ukuthi, ‘Zixolelwe izono zakho,’ nokuba kukuthi, ‘Vuka uhambe’? 6Kodwa ukuze nazi ukuba uNyana woLuntu unegunya ehlabathini lokuxolela izono” — wandula ke ukuthi kowome umzimba: “Vuka, uthabathe ukhuko lwakho, ugoduke.”
7Wavuka ke loo mntu, wagoduka. 8Zithe izihlwele zakukubona oku, zothuka, zamdumisa uBawo wethu, onikileyo abantu igunya elinje.
UYesu Ubiza uMateyu
9Esuka apho uYesu, wabona umntu ogama linguMateyu, ehleli endlwaneni yokubutha irhafu. Wathi kuye: “Ndilandele.” Wavuka ke uMateyu, wamlandela.
10Kuthe uYesu esidla endlwini kaMateyu, beza ababuthi berhafu abaninzi naboni, badla kunye naye nabafundi bakhe. 11Bathe bakukubona oku abaFarisi, babuza kubafundi bakhe: “Yini na ukuba umfundisi wenu adle nababuthi berhafu naboni?”
12Uthe uYesu akukuva oku, wathi: “Abasweli gqirha abo baphilileyo, bangabagulayo abalisweleyo. 13Yiyani ke nifunde ukuba ithetha ukuthini na le nto: ‘Ndifuna inceba, hayi idini.’ Kaloku andizanga kubiza amalungisa, ndize kubiza aboni.”
Iwayini Entsha Ifuna Iintsuba Ezintsha
14Beza ke abafundi bakaYohane, bembuza besithi: “Yini na ukuba thina nabaFarisi sizile ukudla kufuthi, kodwa abafundi bakho bengazili?”
15Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Abahlobo bomyeni banako na ukwenza isijwili ngexa esenabo umyeni? Kodwa iyeza imihla apho aya kuthi umyeni asuswe kubo — baya kwandula ke ukuzila. 16Akukho mntu uthungela isiziba esingakhanyanga engutyeni endala; kaloku eso siziba sisuka siyikrazule, kukrazuke okubi ngakumbi. 17Abantu abayigaleli iwayini entsha ezintsubeni ezindala; kungenjalo iintsuba ziyagqabhuka, ichitheke iwayini, zonakale neentsuba. Koko iwayini entsha igalelwa ezintsubeni ezintsha, zize zisindiswe zombini.”
Isikhungo SikaYise Nokuchukunyiswa Komfazi
18Esathetha oku, weza umphathi wendlu yesikhungu, wafika waguqa phambi kwakhe, wathi: “Intombi yam isandula ukufa. Kodwa yiza, ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo, iza kudla ubomi.”
19Wavuka ke uYesu wahamba naye, kunye nabafundi bakhe. 20Nantso into yokuba umfazi obesopha igazi iminyaka elishumi elinambini weza ngasemva, wachukumisa umphetho wengubo yakhe. 21Kaloku ebesithi ngaphakathi kuye: “Ndingayichukumisa nje ingubo yakhe, ndiya kuphila.”
22Wajika uYesu, wambona. Wathi: “Yomelela, ntombi, ukholo lwakho lukuphilisile.” Waphila ke umfazi kwangelo lixa.
23Akungena uYesu endlwini yomphathi wendlu yesikhungu, wababona abavutheli bogwali nendimbane ehlokomayo,
24wathi: “Mkani apha. Le ntwazana ayifanga, koko ilele.” Kodwa bamhleka.
25Yakuba ikhutshelwe phandle indimbane, wangena, wayibamba ngesandla intwazana, yaza yavuka. 26Zaza iindaba zale nto zaphuma kuwo wonke loo mmandla.
Iimfama Ziyabona, Izidenge Ziyathetha
27Akusuka apho uYesu, kwamlandela iimfama ezibini, zidanduluka zisithi: “Senzele inceba, Nyana kaDavide!”
28Akungena endlwini, zeza kuye iimfama. Wathi kuzo: “Niyakholwa na ukuba ndinako ukuyenza le nto?” Zathi kuye: “Ewe, Nkosi.”
29Waza wachukumisa amehlo azo wathi: “Makwenziwe kuni ngokokholo lwenu.” 30Avuleka ke amehlo azo. UYesu waziyala kalukhuni, wathi: “Lumkani, makungabikho namnye owaziyo ngale nto.”
31Kodwa zaphuma, zasasaza iindaba ngaye kuwo wonke loo mmandla.
32Zisaphuma, kweziswa kuYesu umntu osisidenge, ophethwe yidemon. 33Yakuba ikhutshiwe idemon, sathetha isidenge. Zamangaliswa izihlwele, zathi: “Ayizanga ibonakale into enje kwaSirayeli.”
34Kodwa abaFarisi bathi: “Uzikhupha iidemon ngomphathi weedemon.”
UBawo Ubiza Abasebenzi Bokuvuna
35UYesu wayehambahamba kuyo yonke imizi nemizana, efundisa ezindlwini zabo zesikhungu, evakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo zobukumkani bukaBawo wethu, ephilisa izifo nezikhuhlane zonke. 36Uthe akuzibona izihlwele, waba nemfesane ngazo, ngokuba zazikhathazekile, zingenamncedi, zinjengezimvu ezingenamalusi.
37Waza wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Isivuno sininzi, kodwa abasebenzi bambalwa. 38Celani ke kuBawo wesivuno ukuba athumele abasebenzi entsimini yakhe yokuvuna.” a a v38 UYesu uxelela abafundi bakhe ukuba bacele kumnini wesivuno — uBawo wethu — ukuba athumele abasebenzi. Isivuno sabantu ababuyela ekhaya sesikaBawo, yaye nguye othumela abasebenzi entsimini yakhe.
