1Kwatsi Jesu asacedze kukhuluma, wesuka eGalile waya eveni laseJudiya, ngesheya kwemfula iJordane. 2Ticumbi letikhulu tebantfu tamlandzela, watiphilisa khona lapho.
3Labanye baFarisi beta kuye bamlinga batsi: “Kuvunyelwe yini kutsi indvodza idivose umkayo nome ngasiphi sizatfu?”
4Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Anizange niwufundze yini lomBhalo lotsi: ‘Ekucaleni uMdali wenta umuntfu lomdvuna nalomsikati’? 5Watsi: ‘Ngenca yaloko-ke indvodza iyawushiya uyise nenina inamatsele kumkayo, labo-ke bobabili sebayawuba nyamanye.’ 6Ngako-ke abasebabili, kodvwa sebamunye. Ngako-ke loko lakuhlanganisile Nkulunkulu, akungabe kusehlukaniswa ngumuntfu.”
7Batsi kuye: “Pho, Mosi wasinikelani lomyalo wekutsi indvodza ingamnika umfati wayo incwadzi yedivosi bese iyamlahla?”
8Jesu watsi kubo: “Mosi waninika imvume yekudivosa nebafati benu ngenca yebulukhuni betinhlitiyo tenu. Kodvwa kwakungenjalo kusukela ekucaleni. 9Kodvwa ngitsi kini: Wonkhe umuntfu lodivosa umkakhe ngaphandle kwanakaphingile, bese ushada lomunye umfati, uyaphinga; naloshada umfati lodivosiwe uyaphinga.”
10Bafundzi bakhe batsi kuye: “Nangabe injalo kantsi indzaba yendvodza nemfati, kuncono kungashadi.”
11Kepha watsi kubo: “Akusibo bonkhe labangalemukela lelivi, ngaphandle kwalabo labakuphiwe. 12Ngobe kukhona batsenwa labatalwa banjalo kwasetiswini tabonina; kukhona nebatsenwa labatsenwa bantfu; kukhona futsi nebatsenwa labatitsena bona ngenca yembuso welizulu. Lowo longakhona kukwemukela loko, akakwemukele!”
Jesu ubusisa bantfwana labancane
13Kwase kuletfwa bantfwana kuJesu, kuze atewubeka tandla etikwabo, abathandazele; kepha bafundzi bakhe babekhuta labo bantfu. 14Jesu watsi: “Vumelani bantfwana bete kimi, ningabaleli, ngobe umbuso welizulu ungewalabanjalo.”
15Wababeka tandla, wase uyesuka uyahamba.
Lijaha lelinjingile
16Kwase kufika lijaha lelitsite kuJesu latsi: “Mfundzisi, ngingahle ngenteni lokulungile kuze ngitewuba nekuphila lokuphakadze?”
17Jesu watsi kulo: “Ungibutelani ngalokulungile? Munye kuphela lolungile. Kepha nawutsandza kungena ekuphileni, gcina imiyalo!”
18Labuta latsi: “Miphi?” Jesu waliphendvula watsi: “Ungabulali; ungaphingi; ungebi; ungafakazi emanga; 19hlonipha uyihlo nenyoko; utsandze makhelwane wakho njengobe utitsandza wena.”
20Lelijaha laphendvula latsi: “Konkhe loku ngikugcinile, manje yini lesasele?”
21Jesu watsi kulo: “Nawufuna kuphelela, hamba utsengise ngako konkhe lonako, uphe labaphuyile, uyawuba nemcebo ezulwini; bese uyabuya uyangilandzela.”
22Lelijaha nalikuva loko, lahamba lidzabukile, ngobe belicebe kakhulu.
23Kepha Jesu watsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Kulukhuni kumuntfu lonjinge kakhulu kungena embusweni welizulu. 24Futsi ngitsi kini: Kulula kutsi likamela lingene embotjeni yenyalitsi, kunekutsi umuntfu lonjingile angene embusweni waNkulunkulu.”
25Batsi nabakuva loko bafundzi, bamangala batsi: “Pho, ngubani-ke longasindziswa?”
26Jesu wababukisisa, wase uyabaphendvula utsi: “Angeke akwente umuntfu loko; kodvwa kuNkulunkulu konkhe kungenteka.”
27Phetro waphendvula watsi: “Asubuke, tsine sishiye konkhe, salandzela wena. Kepha siyawutfolani?”
28Jesu watsi kubo: “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Nine leningilandzelako, kuyawutsi nakudalwa kabusha tintfo tonkhe, ngesikhatsi iNdvodzana yeMuntfu seyihleti esihlalweni senkhatimulo yebukhosi bayo, nani niyawuhlala etihlalweni tebukhosi letili-12, nehlulele tive letili-12 taka-Israyeli. 29Wonkhe lodzele tindlu, nome bomnakabo, nome bodzadzewabo, nome uyise, nome unina, nome bantfwana, nome emasimi ngenca yami, uyakwemukela ngalokuphindvwe kanyenti, adle nelifa lekuphila lokuphakadze. 30Kodvwa labanyenti lababekucala bayawuba bekugcina, nalababekugcina bayawuba bekucala.”
