19 Watsi Jesu nasekacedzile kusho konkhe loku, wesuka eGalile waya ngaseminceleni yaseJudiya ngesheya kweJordane.+ 2 Sicumbi sebantfu samlandzela, futsi welapha labo lebebagula.
3 BaFarisi beta kuJesu kuze batfole liphutsa kuye, bambuta batsi: “Kuvumelekile yini kutsi indvodza idivose umkayo nganobe ngusiphi sizatfu?”+ 4 Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Anizange nifundze yini kutsi ekucaleni Nkulunkulu wadala lomdvuna nalomsikati,+ 5 wase utsi: ‘Ngako-ke indvodza itawushiya babe wayo namake wayo inamatsele kumkayo, futsi laba lababili batawuba nyamanye’?+ 6 Ngako abasesibabili, kodvwa sebanyamanye. Loko Nkulunkulu lakuhlanganisile akungehlukaniswa ngumuntfu.”+ 7 Batsi kuye: “Pho kungani Mosi atsi indvodza kufanele inikete umkayo incwadzi yedivosi, bese iyamshiya?”+ 8 Jesu watsi kubo: “Mosi wanivumela kutsi nidivose bafati benu+ ngenca yekutsi ninenkhani, kodvwa bekungasinjalo kusukela ekucaleni.+ 9 Ngako ngitsi kini, nangabe indvodza idivosa umfati wayo, abe lomfati angakagwadli* bese ishada nalomunye, iyaphinga.”+
10 Bafundzi bakhe batsi kuye: “Nangabe kunjalo-ke kuncono kungashadi.” 11 Watsi kubo: “Akusibo bonkhe labangakhona kukwenta loku, ngaphandle kwalabo labakuphiwe.+ 12 Ngobe kukhona batsenwa labatalwa banjalo, kantsi kukhona nebatsenwa labatsenwa bantfu, bese kuba khona batsenwa labatitsena bona ngenca yeMbuso wemazulu. Lokhonako kukwenta loku akakwente.”+
13 Kwase kuletfwa bantfwana kuye kuze ababusise futsi abathantazele, kodvwa bafundzi bakhe babekhuta.+ 14 Kepha Jesu watsi: “Bayekeleni bantfwana bete kimi, ningabavimbi ngobe uMbuso wemazulu webantfu labafana nabo.”+ 15 Wababusisa wase uyahamba.
16 Lelinye lijaha leta kuye lafike latsi: “Mfundzisi, yini lelungile lokufanele ngiyente kute ngitfole kuphila lokuphakadze?”+ 17 Watsi kulo: “Kungani ubuta kutsi yini lelungile? Munye kuphela lolungile.+ Ngako-ke nangabe ufuna kutfola kuphila, chubeka ugcina imitsetfo.”+ 18 Latsi kuye: “Miphi imitsetfo?” Jesu watsi: “Ungabulali,+ ungaphingi,+ ungebi,+ ungafakazi emanga,+ 19 hlonipha babe wakho namake wakho,+ nalotsi kufanele utsandze makhelwane wakho njengobe utitsandza wena.”+ 20 Lelijaha latsi kuye: “Bengisolo ngitigcina tonkhe letintfo, yini-ke lokusafanele ngiyente?” 21 Jesu watsi kulo: “Nawufuna kuphelela,* hamba utsengise konkhe lonako futsi uphe labeswele, nawenta njalo utawuba nemcebo ezulwini.+ Ngemuva kwaloko ubobese uyeta uyangilandzela.”+ 22 Naliva loku, lelijaha lahamba libuhlungu ngobe belinjinge kakhulu.+ 23 Jesu wabese utsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Ngicinisile ngitsi kini: Kutawuba matima ngemuntfu lonjingile kutsi angene eMbusweni wemazulu.+ 24 Kantsi futsi ngitsi kini: Kumelula kutsi likamela lingene embotjeni yenyalitsi kunekutsi umuntfu lonjingile angene eMbusweni waNkulunkulu.”+
25 Nabeva loku, bafundzi bamangala kakhulu, base batsi: “Pho-ke ngubani lotawusindziswa?”+ 26 Jesu wababuka emehlweni wase utsi: “Kumuntfu loku ngeke kwenteke, kodvwa kuNkulunkulu tonkhe tintfo tingenteka.”+
27 Phetro watsi kuye: “Nkhosi, sishiye tonkhe tintfo sakulandzela; yini-ke lesitayitfola?”+ 28 Jesu watsi kubo: “Ngicinisile ngitsi kini: Kutawutsi nasekwentiwa tintfo kabusha, lapho iNdvodzana yemuntfu ihlala esihlalweni sayo sebukhosi lesikhatimulako, nine leningilandzele nitawuhlala etihlalweni tebukhosi letingu-12, nehlulele tive letingu-12 taka-Israyeli.+ 29 Nobe ngubani loshiye tindlu, banakabo, bodzadzewabo, babe wakhe, make wakhe, bantfwana nobe emasimu ngenca yami, utawutfola loku sekuphindvwe tikhatsi letingu-100, futsi utawutfola nekuphila lokuphakadze.+
