UYesu uyiNkosi yesabatha
(; )
1Ngelo xesha uYesu wacanda emasimini ngesabatha; baye ke abafundi bakhe belambile, baqala ukukha izikhwebu, badla. 2Ke kaloku abaFarisi, bakukubona oko, bathi kuye, Yabona, abafundi bakho benza oko kungavumelekileyo ukwenziwa ngesabatha.
3Wathi ke kubo, Aniyilesanga na into awayenzayo uDavide, xa walambayo, yena nabo babenaye; 4okokuba wangena endlwini kaThixo, wazidla izonka ezibekwa phambi koThixo, ekube kungavumelekile ukuba azidle yena, kwanabo babenaye, kuvumelekele ababingeleli bodwa? 5Anilesanga na emthethweni, ukuba ngesabatha ababingeleli etempileni bayayingcolisa isabatha, bangazeki tyala noko? 6Ndithi ke kuni, omkhulu kunayo itempile ukho apha. 7Ukuba ke nibe nikwazile ukuba kuthini na ukuthi, Ndithanda inceba, andithandi mbingelelo, ninge ningabagwebanga abangenatyala. 8Kuba uNyana woMntu uyiNkosi yayo nesabatha.
Ukuphiliswa kowome isandla
(; )
9Esukile ke apho, waya kungena endlwini yabo yesikhungu. 10Kwabonakala kukho umntu owome isandla; baza bambuza, besithi, Kuvumelekile na ukuphilisa ngesabatha? ukuze bammangalele. 11Wathi ke kubo, Kuni apha nguwuphi na umntu ongethi, enemvu inye, yaza yona yeyela emhadini ngesabatha, angayibambi ayirhole? 12Ubeke phi na ke umntu ukuyigqitha imvu? Ngoko ke kuvumelekile ukwenza okulungileyo ngesabetha. 13Aze athi kumntu lowo, Solule isandla sakho. Wasolula, sabuya saphila ke, saba kwanjengesinye.
14Bathi ke abaFarisi babhunga ngaye bakuphuma, ukuze bamtshabalalise. 15Uthe ke uYesu, ekwazi oko, wemka apho; walandelwa ngabantu abaninzi; wabaphilisa bonke. 16Wabakhalimela ukuba bangamtyhili; 17ukuze kuzaliseke okwathethwayo ngoIsaya umprofeti, esithi,
18Yabonani, umkhonzi wam endimnyulileyo;
Intánda yam okholisiweyo yiyo umphefumlo wam;
Ndiya kumbeka uMoya wam phezu kwakhe,
Waye eya kuzibikela iintlanga umgwebo.
19Akayi kuphika, akayi kunkqangaza,
Akukho mntu uya kuliva izwi lakhe ezitratweni.
20Ingcongolo etyumkileyo akayi kuyaphula,
Nomsonto oqhumayo akayi kuwucima,
Ade awuphumelelisele ekoyiseni umgwebo;
21Kanjalo ziya kuthembela egameni lakhe iintlanga.
(UIsaya 42:1-4)
AbaFarisi banyelisa uThixo
(; )
22Kwaza kwaziswa kuye ophethwe yidemon, eyimfama, esisidenge; wamphilisa, wada lowo uyimfama usisidenge wathetha, wabona nokubona. 23Zathi nqa ke zonke izihlwele, zathi, Ngunyana kaDavide kanti na lo? 24Kodwa bona abaFarisi, bakuva, bathi, Lo yena akazikhuphi iidemon, kuphela kungoBhelezebhule, umphathi weedemon.
25Uthe ke uYesu, ezazi iingcingane zabo, wathi kubo, Ubukumkani bonke obahlulelene bodwa buyaphanza, nomzi wonke nendlu yonke eyahlulelene yodwa ayisayi kuma. 26Ukuba ke uSathana ukhupha uSathana, wahlulelene yedwa; bothini na ngoko ukuma ubukumkani bakhe? 27Ukuba mna ndizikhupha iidemon ngoBhelezebhule, bazikhupha ngabani na onyana benu? Ngenxa yoko baya kuba ngabagwebi benu bona. 28Kodwa ukuba ndizikhupha iidemon ngoMoya kaThixo mna, ngoko bunifikele kanti ubukumkani bukaThixo. 29Angáthini na umntu ukuba nako ukungena endlwini yegorha elo, ayiphange impahla yalo, ukuba akathanga tanci alibophe igorha, andule ke ukuyiphanga indlu yalo?
30Lowo ungengakum uchasene nam, nalowo ungandibuthisiyo uyachithachitha. 31Ngenxa yoko ndithi kuni, Konke ukona nokunyelisa bokuxolelwa abantu; kodwa khona ukumnyelisa uMoya oyiNgcwele abasayi kukuxolelwa abantu. 32Nothe wathetha ilizwi elichasene noNyana woMntu uya kuxolelwa; kodwa othe wathetha elichasene noMoya oyiNgcwele, akasayi kuxolelwa yena, nakweli phakade, nakwelo lizayo.
Imithi neziqhamo

33Wenzeni mhle umthi, nesiqhamo sawo sibe sihle; nithi mhlawumbi niwenze mbi umthi, nesiqhamo sawo sibe sibi; kuba umthi waziwa ngesiqhamo sawo.
34Nzalandini yamarhamba, ningathini na ukuba nako ukuthetha izinto ezilungileyo, nikhohlakele nje? Kuba umlomo uthetha ngokuphuphuma kwentliziyo. 35Umntu olungileyo, ebuncwaneni obulungileyo bentliziyo yakhe, ukhupha izinto ezilungileyo; nomntu okhohlakeleyo, ebuncwaneni obukhohlakeleyo, ukhupha izinto ezikhohlakeleyo. 36Ndithi ke kuni, Onke amazwi angewaní abathe bawathetha abantu, baya kuphendula ngawo ngomhla womgwebo; 37kuba ngawo amazwi akho ùya kugwetyelwa, nangawo amazwi akho ùya kugwetywa.
Umqondiso kaYona
(,)
38Kwaza kwaphendula abathile bakubabhali nabaFarisi, besithi, Mfundisi, singa singabona umqondiso uvela kuwe. 39Waphendula ke wathi kubo, Isizukulwana esingendawo, esikrexezayo, singxamele umqondiso; ke asiyi kunikwa mqondiso, ungenguwo umqondiso kaYona umprofeti. 40Kuba, njengokuba uYona ebemini ntathu nabusuku buthathu esiswini sentlanzi enkulu, kwangokunjalo, uNyana woMntu woba mini ntathu nabusuku buthathu embilinini womhlaba. 41Amadoda aseNineve aya kusuka eme ngomgwebo nesi sizukulwana, asigwebe; ngokuba aguquka wona ngomemezo lukaYona; ke omkhulu kunoYona nanku apha. 42Ukumkanikazi welasezantsi uya kusuka eme ngomgwebo nesi sizukulwana, asigwebe; ngokuba wavela eziphelweni zomhlaba, esiza kuva ubulumko bukaSolomon; kanti ke omkhulu kunoSolomon nanku apha.
43Xa uthe ke waphuma umoya ongcolileyo emntwini, ucanda ezindaweni ezingenamanzi, ufuna ukuphumla, ungakufumani. 44Uze uthi, Ndiya kubuyela kwasendlwini yam endaphuma kuyo; uthi ke wakufika uyifumane izé, itshayelwe, ivathisiwe. 45Wandule ke ukuya uthabathe uze nabanye oomoya, abasixhenxe abakhohlakeleyo kunawo, bangene beme khona; lize ikamva laloo mntu libe libi kunesiqaleko sakhe; kuya kuba njalo nakwesi sizukulwana singendawo.
Izizalwane zenene zikaYesu
(; )
46Akubon' ukuba usathetha neendimbane ezo, kwathi thaphu unina nabazalwana bakhe, bema ngaphandle, befuna ukuthetha naye. 47Wathi ke othile kuye, Nanku unyoko nabazalwana bakho, bemi ngaphandle, befuna ukuthetha nawe. 48Uphendule ke wathi kulowo ubemxelele, Ngubani na uma? Kanjalo ngoobani na abazalwana bam 49Esolule isandla sakhe phezu kwabafundi bakhe, uthe, Nanku uma nabazalwana bam; 50kuba osukuba ekwenza ukuthanda kukaBawo osemazulwini, yena lowo ngumzalwana wam, nodade wethu, noma.
