UMathewu 21
1 Kwathi-ke sebesondele eJerusalema, sebefikile eBetfage entabeni yeMihlwathi, khona uJesu wathuma abafundi ababili,
Mu thangu bafikama ku Yelusalemi, batula ku Betefange, buala buidi ku mongo minti mi olive, Yesu wutuma minlonguki miodi ayi
2 esithi kubo: Hambani liye emzaneni okhangelene lani, lizahle libone ubabhemi ekhulekiwe, lethole lilaye; libakhulule, libalethe kimi.
wuba kamba: —Yendanu ku buala bobo buidi ku ntualꞌeno. Buna ma lumona phunda yi nketo yikangama ayi muanꞌandi wu mbakala va ndambu; luzinianguna ayi lundatina ziawu.
3 Futhi uba umuntu ekhuluma ulutho kini, lizakuthi: INkosi iyabaswela; njalo uzahle abathumele.
Enati mutu wuluyuvudi, buna luvutula: “Pfumu wuzivuidi mfunu”. Buna wela kuzifidisa mu nsualu.
4 Njalo konke lokhu kwenzeka, ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi, ukuthi:
Mambu momo mavangama mu diambu di dedikisa mambu matuba mbikudi:
5 Tshelani indodakazi yeSiyoni ukuthi: Khangela, iNkosi yakho iyeza kuwe, imnene igade ubabhemi, lethole inkonyana yenyamazana yokuthwala.
Lukamba kuidi ndumba yi Sioni Tala Ntinuꞌaku wizidi kuidi ngeyo widi wulembama; widi va yilu phunda yi nketo vuendi va mbata muana phunda, muana wu phunda yi nketo.
6 Abafundi bahamba-ke, benza njengalokhu uJesu wayebalayile,
Minlonguki miyenda, mivanga boso Yesu kaba kambila.
7 baletha ubabhemi lethole, babeka izembatho zabo phezu kwabo, bamhlalisa phezu kwazo.
Minata phunda yinketo ayi muana phunda, miyala minledi miawu va mbata ziphunda beni bosi Yesu wuvuanda vana.
8 Lenengi lexuku lendlala ezalo izembatho endleleni; labanye bagamula ingatsha zezihlahla, bazendlala endleleni.
Nkangu wu batu bawombo bayala minledi miawu mu nzila. Bankaka bazenga matafi ma minti ayi bayala mawu mu nzila.
9 Lamaxuku ayehamba phambili lababelandela bamemeza, besithi: Hosana kuyo iNdodana kaDavida! Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi. Hosana kweliphezulu!
Nkangu wu batu bobo baba ku ntuala ayi bobo baba ku mbusa, baba yamikinanga: Ozana kuidi Muana wu Davidi! Bika kasakumunu mutu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu Ozana mu bibuangu bizangama!
10 Esengenile eJerusalema umuzi wonke wanyakazela usithi: Ngubani lo?
Bu kakota mu Yelusalemi, divula dioso dinikuka. Bayuvula: —Nani mutu wowo e?
11 Amaxuku asesithi: Lo nguJesu umprofethi, oweNazaretha yeGalili.
Nkangu wu batu wuvutula: —Yesu, mbikudi wu Nazaleti mu zunga ki Ngalili!
12 UJesu wasengena ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, wabaxotsha bonke ababethengisa lababethenga ethempelini, wasegenqula amatafula ababentshintshelana imali, lezihlalo zalabo ababethengisa amajuba.
Yesu wukota mu luphangu lu Nzo Nzambi, wukuka batu boso baba sumba bima. Wusengubula zimeza zi bobo baba sienzanga zimbongo ayi bikundu bi bobo baba nsumbisa mabembi.
13 Wasesithi kubo: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yomkhuleko; kodwa lina liyenze ubhalu lwabaphangi.
Ayi wuba kamba: —Disonama ti Nzo ama yela tedolo Nzo yi lusambulu vayi beno lukitudi yawu suamunu ki mivi.
14 Kwasekufika kuye iziphofu leziqhuli ethempelini; wasezisilisa.
Baphofo ayi bantiudikanga bayiza kuidi niandi muna luphangu lu Nzo Nzambi ayi wubabelusa.
15 Kodwa abapristi abakhulu lababhali sebebonile izimangaliso azenzayo, labantwana bememeza ethempelini, besithi: Hosana eNdodaneni kaDavida! bathukuthela,
Bapfumu zi banganga Nzambi ayi minlongi mi Mina mifuema ngolo bu bamona bikumu biobi bivanga Yesu ayi bu bamona bana baba yamikina mu khati luphangu lu nzo Nzambi ti: “Ozana, kuidi muana Davidi!”
16 basebesithi kuye: Uyakuzwa lokhu yini abakutshoyo laba? UJesu wasesithi kubo: Yebo; alikaze lifunde yini ukuthi: Emlonyeni wezingane lowabamunyayo uphelelise indumiso?
Diawu banyuvudila: —Wulembo wi kuaku mambu momo bana bobo balembo tubi e? Yesu wuba vutudila: —Nyinga! Vayi lutengi ko: Ngeyo wutambula Nzitusu aku mu miunu mi bana balezi ayi nate mu miunu mi bana batsombi?
17 Wasebatshiya waphuma phandle komuzi esiya eBethani, walala khona.
Bosi wubabika, wutotuka mu divula, wuyenda ku Betani kuawu kaleka.
18 Kwathi ebuyela emzini ekuseni, walamba;
Mu nsuka-nsuka bu kaba mvutuka ku divula, wumona nzala.
19 kwathi ebona umkhiwa othile endleleni, wasondela kuwo, kodwa katholanga lutho kuwo ngaphandle kwamahlamvu wodwa; wathi kuwo: Kakungabe kusavela isithelo kuwe lanini. Njalo umkhiwa wahle wabuna. (aiōn g165)
Bu kamona nti wumosi wu figi va ndambu nzila, wufikama vaba nti beni vayi meza na meza kaka kamona. Buna wukamba nti beni: —Wulendi buela butanga kadi dikundi dimosi ko! Muna thangu beni nti wu figi wutumbu yuma. (aiōn g165)
20 Kwathi bebona lokhu abafundi bakhe bamangala, besithi: Umkhiwa uhle wabuna njani?
Minlonguki bu mimona bobo, misimina ayi miyuvula: —A buevi nti wowo wuvikidi yumina?
21 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uba lilokholo, lingathandabuzi, kaliyikwenza lokhu okomkhiwa kuphela, kodwa loba lisithi lakulintaba: Qutshunwa uphoselwe olwandle, kuzakwenzeka.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba enati minu kidi yeno ayi enati lulendi memata ko, bika sia ti lubeki kaka buvangila mambu maphengi mu nti wu figi wawu vayi lubeki bukambila kuidi mongo wowo: “Katuka vava, wukiloza mu mbu!” ayi mela vangama.
22 Njalo konke loba kuyini elikucelayo emkhulekweni, likholwa, lizakwemukela.
Mambu mamo malunlomba mu lusambulu, luela matambula enati luwilukidi.
23 Kwathi esengenile ethempelini, abapristi abakhulu labadala babantu basondela kuye esafundisa, bathi: Izinto lezi uzenza ngaliphi igunya? Njalo ngubani okunike leligunya?
Yesu wukota mu Nzo Nzambi. Mu thangu kaba nlonga, bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba batu bayiza fikama va kaba ayi banyuvula: —Mu lulendo mbi wulembo vangila mambu momo? Ayi nani wuvana lulendo beni?
24 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Lami ngizalibuza umbuzo ube munye; uba lingitshela lokhu, lami ngizalitshela ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya:
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Thidi kuluyuvula mamvana kiuvu kimosi. Enati lupheni mvutu, buna bosi minu mamvama ndieka kulukamba mu lulendo mbi ndilembo vangila mambu mama.
25 Ubhabhathizo lukaJohane lwavela ngaphi? Ezulwini kumbe ebantwini? Basebekhulumisana, besithi: Uba sisithi: Ezulwini, uzakuthi kithi: Pho kalikholwanga kuye ngani?
Nani wuvana Yowani minsua mu botika, Nzambi voti batu? Batona findana bawu na bawu ziphaka ayi batuba: —Beto kuiza kambi ti “Nzambi” buna maka tukamba ti “bila mbi lumanga kunwilukila?”
26 Kodwa uba sisithi: Ebantwini, siyesaba ixuku; ngoba bonke bamphatha uJohane njengomprofethi.
Bosi beto kamba ti “Batu” boma tummona mu diambu di nkangu wu batu bila baboso bazebi ti Yowani widi mbikudi.
27 Basebemphendula uJesu bathi: Kasazi. Wasesithi kubo: Lami kangilitsheli ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya.
Buna bavutudila Yesu: —Tusi zaba ko! Niandi mamvandi wuba kamba: —Minu mamvama ndilendi kulukamba ko kani mu lulendo mbi ndilembo vangilanga mambu momo.
28 Kanti licabangani? Umuntu wayelamadodana amabili; waya kweyokuqala wathi: Mntanami, hamba, uyesebenza lamuhla esivinini sami.
Buevi lumbanza mu diambu diadi? Mutu wumosi wuba ayi bana bandi buadi bababakala. Wuyiza kuidi wutheti ayi wunkamba: “A muanꞌama yenda sadi buabu ku ndima yi vinu!”
29 Kodwa yaphendula yathi: Angifuni. Kodwa emva kwalokho yaphenduka, yahamba.
Muana beni wumvutudila: “Mbengi kuama” Bosi kunzimunina, wubalula mayindu ayi wuyenda.
30 Wasesiya kweyesibili watsho ngokunjalo. Yona-ke yaphendula yathi: Ngiyahamba, nkosi. Kodwa kayiyanga.
Dise diyenda kuidi muana wummuadi ayi mo mawu mambu kankamba. Niandi wuvutula “Nyinga Tata, ndinkuenda.” Vayi kasi kuenda ko.
31 Yiyiphi kulawo amabili eyenza intando kayise? Bathi kuye: Eyokuqala. UJesu wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Abathelisi lezifebe bayangena embusweni kaNkulunkulu phambi kwenu.
Nani wuvanga luzolo lu Dise mu bana babuadi? Bamvutudila: —Muana wutheti. Buna Yesu wuba kamba: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bandumba leta bela kulutuaminina mu kota mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
32 Ngoba uJohane wafika kini ngendlela yokulunga, kalikholwanga kuye; kodwa abathelisi lezifebe bakholwa kuye; kodwa lina selikubonile kaliphendukanga emva kwalokho ukuthi likholwe kuye.
Bila Yowani wuyiza mu kulumonisa nzila yi busonga vayi lumanga kunwilukila. Muaki mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bandumba leta banwilukila. Ka diambu ko lumona momo vayi lusia balula mavanga ko muingi ku nzimunina lunwilukila.
33 Zwanini omunye umfanekiso. Kwakukhona umuntu othile ongumninimuzi, owahlanyela isivini, wasibiyela ngothango, wagebha isikhamelo kuso, wakha umphotshongo, wasiqhatshisa kubalimi, waya kwelinye ilizwe.
—Wanu nongo yinkaka: Mutu wumosi wuba ndimꞌandi yi vinu, wutungila yawu luphangu, wukaba dibulu dimosi mu kamuninanga mimbutu ma vinu. Wutunga nzo yi banga mu diambu di sunganga ndimꞌandi. Wuyekula ndima beni mu mioko mi bisadi bi ndima muingi bayifutilanga; bosi wuyenda mu nzietolo.
34 Kwathi sekusondele isikhathi sezithelo, wathuma inceku zakhe kubalimi, ukuze zemukele izithelo zakhe.
Thangu yi mvelongo mimbutu bu yifuana, wutuma bisadi biandi kuidi bisadi biobi kadefisa ndima beni muingi belandi ndambuꞌandi mimbutu.
35 Abalimi basebezibamba inceku zakhe, enye bayitshaya, lenye bayibulala, lenye bayikhanda ngamatshe.
Vayi minkuni mi ndima yi vinu beni mibuila bisadi biandi: mibeta wumosi, mivonda wunkaka bosi milozila wuntatu matadi.
36 Wabuya wathuma ezinye inceku ezinengi kulezokuqala; basebesenza njalo kulezo.
Pfumu yi ndima vinu beni wutuma bisadi binkaka; lelo bawombo katuma viokila bobo katuama tuma va theti vayi mambu mo mawu bavangulu kuidi bobo kasia bikila ndima.
37 Ekucineni wasethuma indodana yakhe kubo, esithi: Bazayihlonipha indodana yami.
Bosi wuba fidisila muanꞌandi bu katuba ti: bela kinzika muanꞌama.
38 Kodwa abalimi sebeyibonile indodana bakhulumisana besithi: Le yindlalifa; wozani, siyibulale, njalo sibambe ilifa layo.
Vayi minkuni buna mimona muana beni wulembo yizi, mikambasana ti: “Taleno mutu wowo wela vinginina kiuka, yizanu tumvonda muingi kiuka kikituka kieto.”
39 Basebeyibamba bayiphosela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala.
Mimbuila, minkoka ku nganda yi ndima ayi mimvonda.
40 Ngakho mhla kufika umninisivini, uzabenzani abalimi labo?
Buevi lumbanza, thangu pfumu yi ndima yi vinu bu kela vutuka, buevi kela vangila minkuni miomio?
41 Bathi kuye: Uzababhubhisa kakubi labo ababi, njalo uzaqhatshisa isivini kwabanye abalimi, abazamnika izithelo ngezikhathi zazo.
Bamvutudila: —Wela vonda, mu kambu kiadi batu bobo bambimbi. Bosi wela defisa ndima yi vinu beni kuidi minkuni minkaka miomi miela kumvananga mimbutu mu kadika thangu yeti velo mimbutu!
42 UJesu wathi kubo: Alikaze lifunde yini emibhalweni ukuthi: Ilitshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo eseliyinhloko yengonsi; lokhu yikwenza kweNkosi; njalo kuyamangalisa emehlweni ethu?
Bosi Yesu wuba kamba: —Kadi khumbu lutengi ko mu masonoko: Ditadi diodi diloza mintungi dikituka ditadi di mfunu, di fuma ki nzo. Pfumu niandi wuvanga buawu. Ayi didi diambu di tsiminanga mu meso meto!
43 Ngakho ngithi kini: Lizakwemukwa umbuso kaNkulunkulu, unikwe isizwe esithela izithelo zawo.
Diawu ndikulukambila ti bela kuluziona Kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi bela vana kiawu kuidi batu bobo bela kibutila mimbutu.
44 Lalowo owela phezu kwalelilitshe uzaphahlazwa; kodwa loba ngubani eliwela phezu kwakhe lizamchoboza.
Vayi woso mutu wela bua va ditadi beni wela keluka mu bitini, vayi woso wela builu ditadi beni wela mana kosumuka.
45 Kwathi abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi sebezwile imifanekiso yakhe bazi ukuthi ubekhuluma ngabo.
Buna bamana wa zinongo ziozi, bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi babakula ti Yesu bawu kalembo yolukila.
46 Kwathi sebedinga ukumbamba besaba amaxuku, ngoba ayemphatha njengomprofethi.
Batomba nzila yi kunkangila vayi nkangu wu batu baba mona boma bila batu bammona ti niandi widi mbikudi.
