IMvana Ivula Izitywina
Abakhweli baphuma ngamnye: ukoyisa, ukubulala, umvuzo wemini ngesonka, kulandele uKufa. Phantsi kwesibingelelo abafelukholo babuza uBawo uSomandla ukuba koda kube nini na, baze baxelelwa ukuba balinde okomzuzwana. Kwisitywina sesithandathu abanamandla bayazimela, bacele amawa ukuba awele phezu kwabo.
6 1Ndabukela uYesu, iMvana, evula esinye kwizitywina ezisixhenxe, ndeva esinye kwizidalwa ezine eziphilayo sisithi ngezwi elinjengendudumo: “Yiza!” 2Ndakhangela: nalo ihashe elimhlophe, umkhweli walo ephethe isaphetha. Enikwe isithsaba, waphuma esoyisa, ukuze oyise.
3Yathi iMvana isakuvula isitywina sesibini, ndeva isidalwa sesibini esiphilayo sisithi: “Yiza!” 4Kwaphuma elinye ihashe elibomvu njengomlilo. Umkhweli walo wanikwa igunya lokususa uxolo emhlabeni, ukuze abantu babulalane, waza wanikwa ikrele elikhulu.
5Yathi iMvana isakuvula isitywina sesithathu, ndeva isidalwa sesithathu esiphilayo sisithi: “Yiza!” Ndakhangela—nalo ihashe elimnyama, umkhweli walo ephethe isikali esandleni. 6Phakathi kwezidalwa ezine eziphilayo ndeva into enjengezwi, isithi: “Umlinganiselo omnye wengqolowa ngomvuzo wemini-nye, imilinganiselo emithathu yerhasi ngomvuzo wemini-nye—ungayonakalisi ioli newayini!”
7Yathi iMvana isakuvula isitywina sesine, ndeva izwi lesidalwa sesine esiphilayo lisithi: “Yiza!” 8Ndabona ihashe eliluthuthu. Umkhweli walo igama lakhe linguKufa, kulandela elabafileyo. UKufa nelabafileyo banikwa igunya phezu kwesahlulo sesine somhlaba, ukuba babulale ngekrele, nangendlala, nangesibetho, nangamarhamncwa omhlaba.
9Yathi isakuvula isitywina sesihlanu, ndabona phantsi kwesibingelelo imiphefumlo yabo babulewe ngenxa yelizwi likaBawo wethu nangenxa yobungqina ababebuphethe. 10Bakhala ngezwi elikhulu, besithi: “Koda kube nini na, Bawo onguMongami, ongcwele nowenyaniso, ungekawugwebi, ungekaliphindezeli igazi lethu kubemi bomhlaba?” a a v10 Igama elithi ‘Mongami’ sisihloko iTestamente eNtsha esisigcinela kuphela igunya eliphezulu likaBawo wethu—abafel’ukholo babhenela kuye njengalowo uphethe onke amandla okulungisa izinto. 11Banikwa elowo ingubo emhlophe, baza baxelelwa ukuba baphumle okwexesha elincinane, lide lizaliseke inani labakhonzi abangamadlelane abo nabazalwana babo, abeza kubulawa njengokubulawa kwabo.
12Ndabukela iMvana ivula isitywina sesithandathu: kwabakho inyikima enkulu, laza ilanga laba mnyama njengengubo yesaka eyenziwe ngoboya, inyanga epheleleyo yaba njengegazi, 13zaza iinkwenkwezi zezulu zawa emhlabeni, njengamakhiwane angavuthwanga awiswa ngumkhiwane xa uhlukunyezwa ngumoya onamandla. 14Isibhakabhaka sasongwa njengencwadi esongwayo, zaza zonke iintaba neziqithi zasuswa ezindaweni zazo. 15Ookumkani bomhlaba, nezikhulu, neenjengele, nezityebi, nabanamandla, namakhoboka onke nabantu abakhululekileyo, bazimela emiqolombeni nasemaweni eentaba. 16Bathi kwiintaba nakumawa: “Welani phezu kwethu, nisifihle ebusweni bukaThixo ohleli phezu kwetrone, nasengqumbweni yeMvana! 17Kuba imini enkulu yengqumbo yabo uThixo neMvana ifikile, ngubani na onokumelana nayo?”
