1 UJesu wasetshela abafundi bakhe umzekeliso ukubatshengisa ukuthi kumele bakhuleke kokuphela bangadinwa.
Bhai a Yeshu gubhatagulile lutango lwa kuti, inaapinjikwa kwaajuga a Nnungu mobha gowe, gwangali kuwa ntima.
2 Wathi, “Kwelinye idolobho kwakulomahluli owayengamesabi uNkulunkulu njalo engakhathaleli muntu.
Gubhashite, “Nshilambo shimo bhashinkupagwa bhaukumula bhamo bhakaajogopaga a Nnungu na wala kujali bhandu.
3 Kwakukhona umfelokazi kulelodolobho owayehlezi esiza kuye kokuphela emncenga esithi, ‘Akungincede ngalowo engixabana laye.’
Na nshilambo shosho, bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhashitenga bhatendaga kwaajendela bhene bhaukumula bhala bhalinkuti, ‘Nng'ukumule mbate aki jangu kuka mmagongo nnjangu.’
4 Okwesikhathi eside umahluli wayesala. Kodwa wacina esithi, ‘Loba ngingamesabi uNkulunkulu njalo ngingakhathali ngomuntu,
Gakupitaga mobha gamagwinji bhaukumula bhala bhalikana, ikabheje, kungai gubhailugulile bhayene. ‘Nkali ngakwaajogopa a Nnungu na wala ngajali bhandu,
5 kodwa ngenxa yokuthi umfelokazi lo usengijinge kakhulu sengizamlungisela ukuthi angaze abuya anginenge ngoba elokhu engilanda!’”
ikabheje pabha abha bhashitengabha bhanangoya ukomu, shinaukumulile bhapate aki jabho, bhanapunde kwiya ndotoya!’”
6 Njalo iNkosi yasisithi, “Likuzwisise lokho okutshiwo ngumahluli ongalunganga.
Bhai Bhakulungwa a Yeshu gubhashite, “Mpilikananje shibhashite bheleketa bhene bhaukumula bhangali bha mmbone bhala.
7 Kambe uNkulunkulu kayikubalwela yini abakhethiweyo bakhe, abakhuleka kuye imini lobusuku? Uzabe elokhu ebanina yini?
Bhuli, a Nnungu bhakaatendelanga aki bhaagulwenje na bhayene, bhakwaagutilanga shilo na mui? Bhuli shibhakabhe kwaajangutilanga?
8 Ngiyalitshela, uzabalwela, njalo masinyane. Kodwa, nxa iNdodana yoMuntu isifika, izakufumana ukukholwa emhlabeni na?”
Ngunakunnugulilanga shibhaajangutilanje shangupe. Ikabheje, bhuli pa shilambolyo shipabhe na ngulupai mobha gashaishe Mwana juka Mundu?”
9 Kulabo ababezethemba ngokulunga kwabo beseyisa abanye, uJesu wakhuluma umzekeliso lo wathi:
A Yeshu gubhaatanjilenje aluno lutango luno, bhene bhaibhonangaga kuti bhakwetenje aki, nikwaanyegayanga bhananji bhowe.
10 “Amadoda amabili aya ethempelini ukuyakhuleka, omunye engumFarisi njalo omunye engumthelisi.
“Bhandunji bhabhili bhashinkujombokanga kwenda kwaajuga a Nnungu Kuliekalu, jumo paaliji Mpalishayo, na juna nkamula koli.”
11 UmFarisi wasukuma wakhuleka ngalokho ayeyikho khona wathi: ‘Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ukuthi kanginjengabanye abantu, izigebenga, izixhwali, izifebe njalo kangifani lomthelisi lo.
“Mpalishayo jula gwajimi, nikwaajuga a Nnungu shamuntima nnei, ‘Mmwe a Nnungu ngunakuntendela eja pabha nne nngabha malinga bhananji, bhadokanga na bhalambilanga eu bha labhalabha. Ngunakuntendela eja pabha nne nngabha malinga aju nkamula koliju.
12 Ngizila kabili ngeviki njalo nginikela okwetshumi okwenzuzo yami yonke.’
Ngunatabha pabhili kwa juma jimo, ngunashoya mbepei ya lipungu lya kumi lya indu yangu yowe ingupata.’”
13 Kodwa umthelisi wema bucwadlana laye. Wesaba lokukhangela ezulwini kodwa wazehlisa kakhulu wathi, ‘Nkulunkulu, woba lesihawu kimi, ngiyisoni.’
“Ikabheje nkamula koli jula, ali ajimi kwataliya alijogopa nkali kujinula meyo gakwe kunnungu, ikabhe alikwiikoma pantima kwa kwibhonela shiya, gwashite, ‘Mmwe a Nnungu mmonele shiya nne ngwete yambi.’
14 Ngiyalitshela ukuthi indoda le, hatshi leyana enye, yabuyela ekhaya isilungisiwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba lowo oziphakamisayo uzakwehliswa, lozehlisayo uzaphakanyiswa.”
Ngunakummalanjilanga, Nkamula koli jula pabhujile kunngwakwe ali abhalanganishiywe aki na a Nnungu kupunda Palishayo jula. Pabha jojowe akwiikweya shaatuluywe, na jojowe akwiituluya shaakweywe.”
15 Abantu njalo babeletha abantwana kuJesu ukuthi ababeke izandla. Abafundi bonela ukukubona lokhu babakhuza.
Bhandunji gubhaapeleshelenje a Yeshu bhana bhashoko nkupinga bhaabhishilanje makono na bhaajujilanje mboka. Bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakaabhonanjeje, gubhaakalipilenje.
16 Kodwa uJesu wabizela kuye abantwana wathi, “Yekelani abantwana beze kimi, lingabavimbeli ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanjengalaba.
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaashemilenje bhalinkuti, “Mwaalekanje bhana bhashoko bhanyiilanje, wala nnaaibhililanje, pabha Upalume gwa a Nnungu ni gwa bhandunji malinga bhanganyabha.
17 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, lowo ongayikwemukela umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane kayikungena kuwo.”
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe akauposhele Upalume gwa a Nnungu malinga mwana jwanshoko, akajinjila Muupalumemo.”
18 Umbusi othile wambuza wathi, “Mfundisi olungileyo, ngingenzani ukuze ngizuze ilifa lokuphila kwaphakade na?” (aiōnios g166)
Akalongolele bhamo bha Shiyaudi bhashinkwabhuya a Yeshu, “Mmajiganya mmambone, ndende bhuli mbate gumi gwa pitipiti?” (aiōnios g166)
19 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ungibizelani ngokuthi ngilungile na? Kakho olungileyo ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu kuphela.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Pakuti nnaanjema najwa mmbone? Jwakwa ali jwa mmbone ikabhe a Nnungu jikape.
20 Uyayazi imilayo: ‘Ungafebi, ungabulali muntu, ungebi, ungaphi ubufakazi bamanga, hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.’”
Gwimanyi shalia. ‘Unalabhelabhe, unabhulaje, unajibhe, unakong'ondele ya unami na gwaaishimie ainago na akwenu.’”
21 Wathi umbusi, “Yonke le ngiyigcine kusukela ebutsheni bami.”
Nshanda jula gwabhalugulile, “Gene gowego nigakamwile tandubhila kuuungwendo gwangu.”
22 UJesu esekuzwile lokho wathi kuye, “Usasilele into eyodwa. Thengisa konke olakho uphe abampofu, lapho-ke inotho yakho izakuba sezulwini. Ubusubuya ungilandele.”
A Yeshu bhakapilikaneje genego, gubhammalanjile, “Ushitubhilwa shindu shimo, ukaushe indu yako yowe yuukwete, na mmbiyayo gwaagabhilanje bhalaga, na ugwe shiukole shibhiko shako kunnungu, kungai ujie kuungagule.”
23 Wathi esezwe lokhu wadana kakhulu ngoba wayeyindoda eyayinothe kakhulu.
Ikabheje mundu jula akapilikaneje genego, gwainginishe kwa kaje, pabha ashinkukola mali gamagwinji.
24 UJesu wamkhangela wathi, “Koba nzima kakhulu ukuthi isinothi singene embusweni kaNkulunkulu!
A Yeshu gubhannolile gubhashite, “Shiibhe ukomu kuka tajili kujinjila Muupalume gwa a Nnungu!
25 Ngempela kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene embotsheni yenalithi kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo awungene umbuso kaNkulunkulu.”
Kweli, shiikomboleshe ngamia kupeleta palilanga lya ingano, kupunda tajili kujinjila Muupalume gwa a Nnungu.”
26 Labo abakuzwayo lokho babuza bathi, “Ngubani pho ongasindiswa?”
Bhandunji bhala bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai igala gani shakombole tapulwa?”
27 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Lokho okungenzekiyo emandleni abantu kuyenzakala kwakaNkulunkulu.”
A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Gakaakomboleka na bhandunji, kwa a Nnungu ganakomboleka.”
28 UPhethro wathi kuye, “Sesadela konke esasilakho sakulandela!”
A Petili gubhashite “Nnole uwe tushileka indu yetu yowe itukwete nikunkagula!”
29 UJesu wathi kubo, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi kakho osetshiye ikhaya loba umfazi kumbe abafowabo loba abazali kumbe abantwana ngenxa yombuso kaNkulunkulu
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe aleshile nyumba eu akagwe eu akulugwe eu bhankwetenje eu bhana kwa ligongo lya Upalume gwa a Nnungu,
31 UJesu wasebizela abalitshumi lambili eceleni wabatshela wathi, “Sesisiya eJerusalema lapho konke okulotshwe ngabaphrofethi ngeNdodana yoMuntu sekusiya gcwaliseka.
A Yeshu gubhaatolilenje likumi limo na bhabhili bhala kunyenje, nigubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mpilikananje! Tunajomboka kuloya ku Yelushalemu, kweneko gowe gajandikwe na ashinkulondola gaka Mwana juka Mundu shigatimilile.
32 Izanikelwa kwabeZizwe. Bazayihoza, bayithuke, bayikhafulele, bayibhule njalo bayibulale.
Pabha shakamuywe kubhandu bha ilambo ina, na bhene bhanganyabho shibhampetekuyanje, shibhantukananje na kunng'unila mata.
33 Ngosuku lwesithathu izavuka.”
Shibhankomanje na mishapilo nikummulaga, ikabheje lyubha lya tatu shayushe.”
34 Abafundi kabazange bakuzwisise konke lokhu. Ingcazelo yakho yayifihlakele kubo yikho kabazanga ukuthi wayekhuluma ngani.
Ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhangagamanyanga gene malobhego, pabha bhashinkuiywanga malombolelo gakwe, kwa nneyo bhangagamanyanga gubhabheleketaga.
35 UJesu esebanga eJerikho kwakulendoda eyisiphofu eyisiceli ihlezi eceleni kwendlela icela.
A Yeshu bhakabhandishileje ku Yeliko, mundu jumo nangalole nkujuga ashinkupagwa nnyenje mpanda alijuga.
36 Yathi isizwa kudlula ixuku labantu yabuza ukuthi kuyini okwakusenzakala.
Akapilikaneje lugwinjili lwa bhandu lulipita gwabhushiye, “Shipali nndi?”
37 Bayitshela bathi, “UJesu waseNazaretha uyedlula khonapha.”
Gubhammalanjilenje, “A Yeshu Bhanashaleti bhanapita.”
38 Yamemeza yathi, “Jesu, Ndodana kaDavida, ake ungihawukele!”
Jwalakwe gwakweshiye lilobhe alinkuti, “A Yeshu, bhanabhabho a Daudi, mmonele shiya!”
39 Labo ababehamba phambili bayikhuza bathi kayithule, kodwa yona yasimemeza ngamandla yathi, “Ndodana kaDavida ake ungihawukele!”
Bhandunji bhalongolelenje bhala gubhankalipilenje nkupinga apumule, ikabheje jwalakwe gwapundile kweya lilobhe, “A Yeshu bhanabhabho a Daudi mmonele shiya!”
40 UJesu wema wathi indoda leyo ilethwe kuye. Isifikile uJesu wayibuza wathi,
A Yeshu gubhajimi, gubhatumile bhannjiyenabhonji pubhaliji pala. Nangalole jula akabhandishileje, a Yeshu gubhammushiye,

“Upinga nikutendele nndi?” Gwashite, “Mmakulungwa, ngunapinga nole.”
42 UJesu wathi kuyo, “Kuzuze-ke ukubona; ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile.”
A Yeshu gubhannugulile, “Bhai lola! Ngulupai jako jikulamiye.”
43 Masinyane yahle yabona, yasimlandela uJesu idumisa uNkulunkulu. Kwathi bonke abantu bekubona lokho, labo bamdumisa uNkulunkulu.
Na shangupe nangalole jula gwakombwele kulola, gwabhakagwile a Yeshu alipita kwaakuya a Nnungu. Bhandunji bhowe bhakagabhonanjeje genego gubhainiyenje a Nnungu.
