UMATEWU 10

₁UYesu wababizela kuye abafundi bakhe abalishumi elinambini, wabanika igunya lokukhupha iindimoni nelokuphilisa abantu kwizifo ngezifo. ₂Nânga ke amagama abafundi abalishumi elinambini: kuqala, uSimon, lo kuthiwa nguPetros, noAndreya umntakwabo; uYakobi, noYohane umntakwabo, oonyana bakaZebhedi; ₃uFilipu noBhartolomeyu; uTomas noMatewu, umqokeleli-rhafu; uYakobi, unyana ka-Alifeyu, noTadeyu; ₄uSimon iTsha-ntliziyo, noJudas Sikariyoti, owayeza kungcatsha uYesu.

₅UYesu wabathuma aba bafundi balishumi elinambini, ebayalele ngokuthi: “Ze ningayithathi indlela eya kweleentlanga, ningangeni kwiidolophu zamaSamariya. ₆Yiyani kanye kwiigusha ezilahlekileyo zakwaSirayeli. ₇Ekuhambeni kwenu ze nishumayele nisithi: ‘Ulawulo lukaThixo lusemnyango!’ ₈Philisani abagulayo, nivuse abafileyo, nihlambulule abaneqhenqa, nikhuphe iindimoni. Namkelé ngesisa, ke ngoko yiphani ngesisa. ₉Ze ningazameli ukuba nibe nemali emibhinqweni yenu, nokuba yigolide, nokuba yisiliva, nokuba lubhedu. ₁₀Ze ningaphathi ngxowa, nazambatho ngazibini, nazihlangu, namsimelelo. Kaloku umvuzo ulilungelo kumntu osebenzayo.

₁₁“Nakusiphi na isixeko okanye idolophu enithe nangena kuyo, funani lowo unokuthi anamkele, nihlale khona de nimke kuloo ndawo. ₁₂Nakungena emzini, ze nibabulise abakuwo. ₁₃Ukuba abantu baloo mzi bayanamkela, basikeleleni, kodwa ukuba abanamkeli, uxolo lwenu malubuyele kuni. ₁₄Ukuba bathe àbanamkela, okanye àbawaphulaphula amazwi enu, ze nithi nakuphuma kuloo mzi, okanye kweso sixeko, nivuthulule uthuli olusezinyaweni zenu nikhalala. ₁₅Inene, eso sixeko siya kuva ubunzima ngaphezu kweSodom neGomora ngomhla womgwebo.”

₁₆“Niyabona, ndinithuma njengeegusha phakathi kweengcuka. Ke ngoko yibani nobulumko njengeenyoka, nilulame njengamahobe. ₁₇Balumkeleni abantu, kuba baya kuninikela ezinkundleni, nikatswe *ezindlwini zesikhungo. ₁₈Nomiswa phambi kwabalawuli nookumkani ngenxa yam. Kulapho niya kundingqinela khona kubo nakuzo iintlanga. ₁₉Xa bathe banisa enkundleni yamatyala, ze ningaxhaleli ukuba nothetha ntoni na, nokuba nothetha njani na; kothi, lakufika elo xesha, niyinikwe into eniya kuyithetha, ₂₀kuba asinini abaya kuthetha, nguMoya kaYihlo oya kuthetha kuni.

₂₁“Oonyana bomntu omnye baya kusana ekufeni, uyise anikele umntwana, bathi nabantwana babavukele abazali, babanikele ukuba babulawe. ₂₂Niya kuthiywa ngabantu bonke ngenxa yegama lam. Ke lowo unyamezelayo kude kube sekupheleni wosindiswa. ₂₃Xa banitshutshisayo kule dolophu, yiyani kwenye, kuba inene, aniyi kuzigqiba iidolophu zakwaSirayeli engekafiki *uNyana woLuntu.

₂₄“Akukho mfundi mkhulu kunomfundisi wakhe, kungekho sicaka sikhulu kunenkosi yaso. ₂₅Makaneliseke umfundi kukuphatheka njengomfundisi wakhe, nesicaka kukuphatheka njengenkosi yaso. Ukuba umninimzi babemthuka ngokuthi unguSathana, ungáthini na ukungàthukwa ngakumbi ngoSathana umzi wakhe?”

₂₆“Musani ukuboyika abantu. Akukho nto igqunyiweyo ingayi kutyhilwa, nefihlakeleyo ingayi kwaziwa. ₂₇Endikuthethayo kuni ebumnyameni, kuthetheni nina ekukhanyeni; enikusetyezelweyo nikubhengeze. ₂₈Musani ukuboyika abo banibulala ngokwasenyameni, kodwa bengenako ukubulala umphefumlo. Yoyikani uThixo, yena onako ukutshabalalisa umphefumlo kwanomzimba esihogweni. ₂₉Andithi, iintaka ezincinci zithengiswa ngambini ngesenti? Kanti akukho nanye kuzo iya kuwa emhlabeni engavumanga uYihlo. ₃₀Nina ke, kwaneenwele ezi zentloko yenu zibaliwe zonke. ₃₁Ke musani ukoyika: nixabisekile kuneentaka ezininzi nina!”

₃₂“Wonke umntu othe wandivuma phambi kwabantu, nam ndothi ndimvume kuBawo osezulwini. ₃₃Ke ondikhanyelayo ebantwini, nam ndiya kumkhanyela kuBawo osezulwini.”

₃₄“Ze ningabi ndizise uxolo ehlabathini. Hayi, andizisanga luxolo, koko ndizise imbambano. ₃₅Ndize kuxabanisa unyana noyise, intombi nonina, umolokazana no ninazala. ₃₆Iintshaba zomntu zoba ngabendlu yakhe.

₃₇“Othe wathanda uyise nokuba ngunina ngaphezu kwam, akandifanelanga; nothe wathanda unyana nokuba yintombi yakhe ngaphezu kwam, akandifanelanga. ₃₈Nalowo uthe akawuthwala umnqamlezo wakhe andilandele, akandifanelanga. ₃₉Othe wabuzuza ubomi bakhe, wolahlekelwa bubo; nothe walahlekelwa bubomi bakhe ngenxa yam, wobuzuza.

₄₀“Othe wanamkela nina, wamkela mna; nothe wamkela mna, wamkela lowo wandithumayo. ₄₁Othe wamkela *umshumayeli ngokuba engumshumayeli, wofumana umvuzo womshumayeli; nothe wamkela ilungisa ngokuba lililungisa, wofumana umvuzo welungisa. ₄₂Othe wapha nokuba mnye kwaba bancinane nekomityi le yamanzi, ngokuba engumfundi wam, inene ngekhe aphosane nomvuzo wakhe nakanjani na.”
