Bible Reading Plan – Day 352

₁Kwathi emva koko uYesu waya ngaphesheya koLwandle lwaseGalili, olo lukwabizwa ngokuba luLwandle lwaseTibheriya. ₂Wayelandelwe sisihlwele esikhulu, kuba abantu babeyibonile imiqondiso awayenzayo ngokuphilisa abagulayo. ₃UYesu wenyuka endulini, waza wahlala phantsi nabafundi bakhe. ₄Lalisondela itheko lamaJuda ekuthiwa yiPasika. ₅Kwathi uYesu akukhangela, wabona isihlwele esikhulu sisiza kuye, waza wathi kuFilipu: “Ngaba sinokusithenga phi na isonka esaneleyo sokutyisa le ndimbane?” ₆Esitsho nje, wayevavanya uFilipu, kuba yena wayekwazi oko aza kukwenza.

₇Waphendula uFilipu, wathi: “Ngathi nesonka samakhulu amabini eerandi asingekhe sanele okokuba wonke okhoyo afumane iqhekezana.”

₈Omnye wabafundi bakaYesu, uAndreya, umntakwabo-Simon Petros, wathi kuye: ₉“Kukho inkwenkwana apha enezonka ezihlanu zerhasi, neentlanzi ezimbini; kodwa kuyintoni na oko kule nginginya yabantu?”

₁₀Waza uYesu wathi: “Bahlaliseni phantsi abantu.” Kwakukho ibala elikhulu elinengca apho, baza bahlala phantsi. Inani lamadoda lalikumawaka amahlanu. ₁₁Wazithatha ke uYesu ezo zonka, wabulela kuThixo, wababela abantu ababehleli phantsi. Wenjenjalo nakwiintlanzi, baza batya banela. ₁₂Bakuhlutha abantu, uYesu wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Qokelelani okuseleyo. Makungabikho nentwana emoshakalayo.” ₁₃Bawaqokelela ke amaqhekeza aseleyo ezo zonka zihlanu zerhasi, kwazala iingobozi ezilishumi elinambini.

₁₄Bakuwubona abantu lo mqondiso uYesu awenzileyo, bathi: “Ngenene, kuthe kanti nguye lo *umshumayeli obekade elindelwe!” ₁₅Waqonda uYesu okokuba bazimisele ukuza kumthatha bamenze ukumkani, waza wemka, waya entabeni eyedwa.

₁₆Kwathi kwakuhlwa abafundi bakaYesu behla baya elwandle, ₁₇bakhwela isikhitshana, baluwela ulwandle, besiya eKapernahum. Nangona kwakusebusuku uYesu wayengekho kubo. ₁₈Amanzi olwandle ayesilwa, kuba kwakuvuthuza umoya. ₁₉Kwathi, bakuba begqibe iikhilomitha ezintlanu okanye ezintandathu bebheqa isikhitshana, babona nanko uYesu ehamba phezu kwamanzi olwandle, esondela. Boyika ke, ₂₀kodwa uYesu wathi kubo: “Ndim; sanukoyika.” ₂₁Bamamkela ke esikhitshaneni, kwathi kwangoko isikhitshana safika kuloo ndawo babesiya kuyo.

₂₂Ngengomso indimbane yabantu yayisekho ngaphesheya koLwandle lwaseGalili. Abantu aba babebone isikhitshana sasinye kuphela, baye babesazi okokuba uYesu wayengakhwelanga nabafundi bakhe, kuba bona babehambe bebodwa. ₂₃Kodwa ezinye izikhitshana, ezazivela eTibheriya, zafika ngakuloo ndawo isihlwele sasityela kuyo isonka emva kokuba iNkosi yayibulele. ₂₄Yakubona ke indimbane okokuba uYesu akakho apho, bengekho nabafundi bakhe, yakhwela kwezo zikhitshana, yaya kumfuna eKapernahum.

₂₅Abo bantu bamfumana uYesu ngaphesheya kolwandle, bathi kuye: “Mfundisi, ngaba ufike nini na apha?”

₂₆Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Ndithi kuni, inene, anizanga kundifuna kuba nibone imiqondiso endiyenzayo; nindifuna kuba nitye esaa sonka nahlutha. ₂₇Sanukusebenzela ukutya okuphelayo; sebenzelani ukutya okungapheliyo, okusisondlo sobona bomi bungenasiphelo. Oko kutya niya kukunikwa nguye uNyana woLuntu, kuba uYise, uThixo, wamgunyazisela oko.”

₂₈Ke ngoko bathi kuye: “Misebenzi mini uThixo afuna siyenze?”

₂₉Waphendula uYesu, wathi kubo: “Umsebenzi uThixo afuna niwenze ngulo wokuba nizinikele nikholwe kulowo uThixo amthumileyo.”

₃₀Ke bona bathi kuye: “Wena ngaba wenza mqondiso mni na, ukuze sibone sikholwe kuwe? Yintoni oyenzayo? ₃₁Oobawo bâtya *imana entlango, njengoko zitshoyo *iziBhalo ukuthi: ‘Wabanika batya isonka esivela ezulwini.’”

₃₂Wathi ke uYesu kubo: “Ndithi kuni, inene, asinguye uMosis owaninika isonka esivela ezulwini; nguBawo oninika esona sonka sisiso esivela ezulwini. ₃₃Isonka esivela kuThixo ngulowo wehlayo evela ezulwini, eze kulinika ubomi ihlabathi.”

₃₄Baza bathi kuye: “Nkosi, uzungadinwa nanini na ukusipha eso sonka.”

₃₅Wathi kubo uYesu: “Ndim isonka sobomi. Ozayo kum akasoze alambe, nokholwayo kum akasoze anxanwe.

₃₆“Ke nina, njengoko senditshilo, nindibonile nokundibona, naza noko anakholwa. ₃₇Bonke endibanikwe nguBawo, baya kuza kum. Ke lowo uzayo kum andingekhe ndingamamkeli, ₃₈kuba ndehla ezulwini ndingezanga kwenza eyam intando, koko ndize kwenza intando yalowo wandithumayo. ₃₉Intando yalowo wandithumayo kukuthi kungalahleki namnye kwabo andinika bona, koko ndibavuse ekufeni bonke ngomhla wokugqibela. ₄₀Okufunwa nguBawo kukuba wonke ombonayo uNyana akholwe kuye, abe nobomi obungapheliyo; ndaye ndiya kumvusa ekufeni ngomhla wokugqibela.”

₄₁Aza amaJuda ambombozela, kuba uYesu ethe nguye isonka esehla sivela ezulwini, ₄₂athi: “Lo mfo akanguye na uYesu, unyana kaJosefu? Sibazi nje ke abazali bakhe, angathini ngoku ukuthi wehla ezulwini?”

₄₃Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Sanukundikrokrela. ₄₄Akukho namnye unokuza kum engathanga uBawo owandithumayo amtsalele kum; kwaye lowo ndiya kumvusa ekufeni ngomhla wokugqibela. ₄₅*Abashumayeli bâbhala bathi: ‘Bonke baya kuba ngabafundisiweyo nguThixo.’ Bonke ke abathe bamphulaphula uBawo, baza bafunda kuye, bayeza kum. ₄₆Xa nditshoyo ke andithethi ukuthi kukho bani wakha wambona uBawo. Akukho namnye wakha wambona uBawo, ngaphandle kwalowo uvela kuThixo.

₄₇“Ndithi kuni, inene, lowo ukholwayo unabo ubomi obungapheliyo. ₄₈Ndim isonka sobomi. ₄₉Ooyihlo batya *imana entlango, kodwa bafa. ₅₀Ke sona isonka esihla ezulwini, seso athi ubani akusitya, angafi. ₅₁Ndim isonka esinobomi, esihlileyo sivela ezulwini. Ukuba ubani uthe wasitya esi sonka, wophila ngonaphakade. Isonka endiya kumnika sona ngumzimba wam, endiwunikelayo ukuze ihlabathi liphile.”

₅₂AmaJuda ke aphikisana ngamandla, esithi: “Angathini lo mfo ukusityisa umzimba wakhe?”

₅₃Waza uYesu wathi kuwo: “Ndithi kuni, inene, ukuba anithanga niwutye umzimba wakhe *uNyana woLuntu, nilisele negazi lakhe, aninabo ubomi. ₅₄Lowo uwutyayo umzimba wam, alisele negazi lam, unobomi obungonaphakade, ndaye ndiya kumvusa ekufeni ngomhla wokugqibela. ₅₅Umzimba wam kokona kutya, negazi lam sesona siselo. ₅₆Lowo uwutyayo umzimba wam, alisele negazi lam, yena uhlala kum, nam ndihlala kuye. ₅₇UBawo uSobomi wandithuma, ndaza ndangonobomi ngaye. Ngokukwanjalo othe wawutya umzimba wam uya kuba nobomi ngam. ₅₈Siso ke eso isonka esehla sivela ezulwini; sibe singafani nesiya ooyihlo bâsityayo, baza bafa noko. Osityayo esi sonka wodla ubomi ngonaphakade.”

₅₉Ezi zinto uYesu wazithetha xa wayefundisa eKapernahum *endlwini yesikhungo. ₆₀Bathi bakuziva, abaninzi kubafundi bakhe bathi: “Iyaxakanisa le ntetho. Ngubani onokuyinyamezela le nto?”

₆₁UYesu wayesazi ukuba abafundi bakhe bayakrokra, waza wathi kubo: “Iyanikhubekisa le ndawo? ₆₂Ngaba nothini na nakumbona *uNyana woLuntu enyukela apho wayevela khona? ₆₃NguMoya onika ubomi; ke wona amandla omntu akancedi lutho ekunikeni ubomi. Amazwi endiwathethileyo kuni ngakaMoya, anika ubomi. ₆₄Kanti ke noko basekho kuni abangakholwayo.” Kaloku uYesu wayebazi kwangaphambili abo bangakholwayo, emazi kwanalowo wayeza kumngcatsha. ₆₅Waza ke wathi: “Kungoko nditshilo kuni ukuthi akukho namnye unokuza kum engakunikwanga nguBawo ukwenjenjalo.”

₆₆Ukususela ngoko into eninzi yabafundi bakaYesu yarhoxa, ayaba sahamba naye. ₆₇Wathi ke uYesu kwabo bafundi bakhe balishumi elinambini: “Nithini na nina? Ngaba nani nifuna ukumka?”

₆₈Waza waphendula uSimon Petros wathi: “Nkosi, singaya kubani, inguwe nje onamazwi angawobomi obungapheliyo? ₆₉Thina siyakholwa sisazi okokuba nguwe onguYedwa kaThixo.”

₇₀Wabaphendula uYesu wathi: “Beninganyulwanga ndim na, nina balishumi elinambini? Kanti omnye kuni aba ungumtyholi.” ₇₁Wayethetha uJudas, unyana kaSimon Sikariyoti, kuba nangona wayengomnye wabafundi abalishumi elinambini, wayeza kungcatsha uYesu.

₁Emva koko uYesu wehla enyuka neGalili. Wayengathandi ukuya kwelakwaJuda, kuba amaJuda ayefuna ukumbulala. ₂Lalisondele itheko lamaJuda ekuthiwa litheko lamaphempe, ₃baza bathi kuye abantakwabo: “Khawumke apha, uye kwelakwaJuda, ukuze nabo abafundi bakho abalapho bazibone izinto ozenzayo. ₄Kaloku umntu ofuna okokuba into ayenzayo yaziwe, akayenzi ngasese. Ukuba uyazenza ezi zinto, zenze zibonwe lihlabathi lonke.” ₅Babesitsho abantakwabo-Yesu kuba nkqu bona babengakholwa kuye.

₆Wathi kubo uYesu: “Nina ningaya nanini na, kodwa elam ithuba lokuya alikafiki. ₇Abantu beli hlabathi bandithiyile mna, kuba ndisoloko ndiyihlaba imikhwa yabo emibi, kodwa nina bayanithanda. ₈Ningaya nina ethekweni apho, kodwa mna andiyi, kuba ayikabi lothuba lifanelekileyo eli kum.” ₉Akuba etshilo wasala eGalili.

₁₀Bakuba bemkile abantakwabo-Yesu ukuya ethekweni apho, naye waya khona, phofu wahamba ngokuzimela. ₁₁AmaJuda ayemfuna apho ethekweni, emana ebuzisa ngaye. ₁₂Kwakugqugulwa ngaye, kukho abathi: “Yindoda leya;” kukho nabathi: “Hayi bo, uyabalahlekisa abantu.” ₁₃Noko akuzange kubekho bani uthetha ngaye ekuhleni, kuba babesoyika amaJuda.

₁₄Kwathi itheko selishushu, uYesu waya *endlwini kaThixo, wafundisa. ₁₅Amangaliswa amaJuda, athi: “Ngaba lo mntu uluthathe phi lonke olu lwazi, engafundanga nje?”

₁₆Waza uYesu wawaphendula wathi: “Le mfundiso ndiyifundisayo asiyoyam, koko ivela kulowo undithumileyo. ₁₇Lowo uyenzayo intando kaThixo, uya kuqonda ukuba andithethi okukokwam, koko ndifundisa okuphuma kuThixo. ₁₈Othetha okukokwakhe uzifunela olwakhe udumo; ke yena ofuna udumo lwalowo umthumileyo unyanisekile, akukho nkohliso kuye. ₁₉Akaniwiselanga umthetho na uMosis? Kanti akukho namnye kuni uwuthobeleyo. Kungani na ukuba nifune ukundibulala?”

₂₀Abantu baphendula bathi: “Uphambene! Ngubani ofuna ukukubulala?”

₂₁Waphendula uYesu, wathi kubo: “Ndenze into yanye *ngoMhla woPhumlo, naza namangaliswa nonke. ₂₂Khaniphawule le ndawo ngolwaluko lwesiJuda: Ulwaluko lwaqalwa ngamanyange, waza noMosis wawisa umthetho wokuba lubekho. Ngoko niyalùsa nangoMhla wokuPhumla. ₂₃Ukuba ke umntwana oyinkwenkwe niyamalùsa ngoMhla woPhumlo, ngenxa yokuba nifuna ukugcina umthetho kaMosis, kutheni ke ukuba nikhathazeke kuba ndithe ndaphilisa umntu? ₂₄Sanukugweba ngokwembonakalo; gwebani ngobulungisa.”

₂₅Abanye abantu baseJerusalem babesithi: “Ngaba asinguye na lo bafuna ukumbulala? ₂₆Kanti nanko ethetha ekuhleni, kungekho bani ubhekisa nento le kuye! Ngaba iinkokheli ziqondile okokuba ngokwenyani lo *nguKrestu? ₂₇Angathini na lo ukuba nguKrestu simazi nje apho avela khona? UKrestu akufika akuyi kubakho bani waziyo apho avela khona.”

₂₈Watsho ngelivakalayo uYesu, efundisa *endlwini kaThixo, wathi: “Niba niyandazi, nisazi nalapho ndivela khona! Mna andizizelanga ngokwam. Ndithunywe ngulowo uyinyaniso. Ke nina animazi, ₂₉kodwa mna ndiyamazi, kuba ndivela kuye, ndithunywe nguye.”

₃₀Babefuna ukumbamba, kodwa akubangakho bani umchukumisayo, kuba lalingekafiki ixesha. ₃₁Kodwa abantu abaninzi bâkholwa kuye, besithi: “Xa athe wafika uKrestu, ngaba ebenokwenza imiqondiso engaphezulu na kunale yenziwe ngulo?”
