Kulandzisa KwaMatewu
9 Ngako Jesu wagibela esikebheni, wase wewelela ngesheya edolobheni lakubo.*+ 2 Bantfu baletsa kuye umuntfu lobekangakhoni kuhamba, bametfwele ngeluhlaka. Nakabona kukholwa kwabo, Jesu watsi kuye: “Bani nesibindzi ndvodzana, tono takho titsetselelwe.”+ 3 Letinye tati temtsetfo takhuluma todvwana tatsi: “Lomuntfu uyahlambalata.” 4 Jesu wakwati loko lebetikucabanga, wase utsi kuto: “Kungani nicabanga tintfo letimbi?+ 5 Ngukuphi lokuncono kutsi ngitsi: ‘Tono takho titsetselelwe,’ nobe ngitsi: ‘Sukuma uhambe’?+ 6 Kodvwa ngitanikhombisa kutsi iNdvodzana yemuntfu ineligunya lekutsetselela tono,” ngako watsi kulona lobekangakhoni kuhamba: “Sukuma utsatse luhlaka lwakho uhambe uye ekhaya.”+ 7 Lomuntfu wasukuma wase uya ekhaya. 8 Nabakubona loku, bantfu bamangala futsi badvumisa Nkulunkulu lonike bantfu emandla ekwenta loku.
9 Jesu watsi nakesuka lapho, wabona lenye indvodza lebitwa ngekutsi nguMatewu ihleti endzaweni yekutselisa, watsi kuyo: “Ngilandzele.” Ngako Matewu wasukuma wamlandzela.+ 10 Kwatsi ngalesinye sikhatsi Jesu asendlini, ahleti etafuleni, kweta batselisi netoni letinyenti bahlala naye kanye nebafundzi bakhe.+ 11 BaFarisi nababona loku, batsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Kwentiwa yini kutsi umfundzisi wenu adle nebatselisi netoni?”+ 12 Jesu wabeva, wase utsi kubo: “Bantfu labaphilile abamdzingi dokotela, kodvwa ngulabagulako labamdzingako.+ 13 Ngako-ke hambani nifundze kutsi asho kutsini lamavi latsi: ‘Angifuni imihlatjelo,+ kodvwa ngifuna kutsi bantfu babe nemusa.’ Ngobe angiketeli kutewubita bantfu labalungile, kodvwa ngitewubita toni.”
14 Kwase kufika bafundzi baJohane bambuta batsi: “Kwentiwa yini kutsi tsine nebaFarisi sizile kudla kodvwa bafundzi bakho bona bangazili?”+ 15 Jesu watsi kubo: “Bangani bemkhwenyane bangalila yini umkhwenyane+ asekhona? Kodvwa sikhatsi siyeta lapho umkhwenyane atawuhamba khona,*+ kube ngukhona-ke bazila kudla. 16 Kute umuntfu lochibela ingubo lendzala ngesicephu lesisha, ngobe sitayidzabula lengubo, sente lembobo ibe yinkhulu.+ 17 Bantfu abalifaki liwayini lelisha etigujini letindzala tesikhumba. Ngobe nabenta njalo letigubhu titawubhubuka futsi leliwayini licitseke, bese tiyonakala. Kodvwa liwayini lelisha balifaka etigujini letinsha tesikhumba, kuze kokubili kuhlale kusesimeni lesikahle.”
18 Watsi asakhuluma loko, kwefika umbusi lotsite waguca embikwakhe, watsi: “Kungenteka kutsi nyalo indvodzakati yami seyifile, kodvwa ngicela sihambe ufike uyitsintse, futsi itawubese iyavuka.”+
19 Jesu wasukuma wamlandzela, nebafundzi bakhe balandzela. 20 Bekunemfati lotsite lobesekaneminyaka lengu-12 aphetfwe sifo sekopha.+ Weta ngemuva kwaJesu, wafike watsintsa umphetfo wengubo yakhe yangetulu,+ 21 ngobe abesolo atitjela atsi: “Nangingamane nje ngitsintse ingubo yakhe yangetulu, ngitawuphila.” 22 Jesu wagucuka, futsi nakambona watsi: “Bani nesibindzi ndvodzakati! Kukholwa kwakho kukuphilisile.”+ Kusukela lapho, lomfati waphila.+
23 Watsi Jesu nakefika endlini yalombusi, wakhandza bantfu labashaya imintjingo kanye nesicumbi sebantfu lebesikhala,+ 24 futsi watsi kubo: “Phumani, ngobe lomntfwana akakafi, kodvwa ulele.”+ Nabeva loku bamhleka bulima. 25 Ngekushesha ngemuva kwekutsi lesicumbi sebantfu sesikhishelwe ngephandle, wangena kulendlu wabamba sandla+ salentfombatana, yase iyavuka.+ 26 Lendzaba yandza kuso sonkhe sifundza.
27 Watsi Jesu nakesuka lapho, emadvodza lamabili langaboni emehlweni+ amlandzela, amemeta atsi: “Ndvodzana yaDavide, sihawukele.” 28 Ngesikhatsi Jesu sekangene endlini, lamadvodza eta kuye, wase uyawabuta utsi: “Niyakholwa yini kutsi nginganenta nibone?”+ Amphendvula atsi: “Yebo Nkhosi.” 29 Ngako watsintsa emehlo awo+ watsi: “Ngenca yekukholwa kwenu, emehlo enu atawuvuleka.” 30 Emehlo awo ase ayavuleka. Jesu wawecwayisa watsi: “Cinisekani kutsi kubete umuntfu lovako ngaloku.”+ 31 Kodvwa atsi lamadvodza nakaphumela ngephandle, atjela wonkhe umuntfu kuleso sigodzi.
32 Ngesikhatsi lamadvodza sekahamba, bantfu baletsa indvodza lebeyinelidimoni futsi ingakhulumi,+ 33 ngako Jesu walikhipha, lendvodza yabese iyakhuluma.+ Sicumbi sebantfu samangala, satsi: “Asikake sikubone lokunjena laka-Israyeli.”+ 34 Kodvwa baFarisi batsi: “Lomuntfu ukhipha emadimoni ngenkhosi yemadimoni.”+
35 Ngako Jesu wahamba kuwo onkhe emadolobha nemadolobhana, afundzisa emasinagogeni futsi ashumayela tindzaba letimnandzi letimayelana neMbuso, elapha tonkhe tinhlobo tetifo, nato tonkhe tinhlobo tekugula.+ 36 Watsi nakabona sicumbi sebantfu, wabahawukela,+ ngobe bebaphetfwe kabi futsi bahlakatekile njengetimvu letite umelusi.+ 37 Wase utsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Umsebenti wekuvuna mkhulu, kodvwa tisebenti timbalwa.+ 38 Ngako ncengani iNkhosi yekuvuna kutsi yengete tisebenti ekuvuneni kwayo.”+
