IVangeli Elabhalwa NguMakho 10:1-52
10 Esuka lapho waya ezindaweni ezisemngceleni weJudiya ngaphetsheya kukaJodani. Waphinda wabuthanelwa ngabantu abanengi, waseqalisa ukubafundisa njengenjayelo.+
2 AbaFarisi bamlanda befuna ukumlinga bafika bambuza ukuthi kusemthethweni yini ukuthi indoda idivose umkayo.+
3 Wabaphendula wathi: “UMosi walipha umlayo othini?”
4 Basebesithi: “UMosi wakuvumela ukuthi umuntu abhale incwadi yokudivosa inkosikazi yakhe abeseyixotsha.”+
5 Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: “Walibhalela umlayo lo+ ngoba lilenhliziyo ezilukhuni.+
6 Kodwa ekuqaleni, uNkulunkulu wathi edala abantu, ‘wenza owesilisa lowesifazana.+
7 Ngenxa yalokho indoda izatshiya uyise lonina+
8 futhi bobabili bazakuba nyamanye,’+ yikho kabasebabili kodwa sebenyamanye.
9 Ngakho lokho uNkulunkulu asekuhlanganisile* akungabi lomuntu okwehlukanisayo.”+
10 Bathi sebebuyele endlini abafundi bambuza ngendaba le.
11 Wathi kubo: “Loba ngubani odivosa inkosikazi yakhe abesetshada lomunye umfazi, uyafeba+ futhi kathembekanga kuyo.
12 Kanti njalo nxa inkosikazi ingadivosa umkayo ibisitshada lomunye umuntu, iyafeba.”+
13 Abantu baqalisa ukuletha abantwana abancane kuye ukuze ababambe kodwa abafundi babakhuza.+
14 UJesu wathi ekubona lokhu wacaphuka wathi kubo: “Bayekeleni abantwana abancane beze kimi, lingazami ukubavimba ngoba uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ngowalabo abanjengabantwana.+
15 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, loba ngubani ongamukeli uMbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane kasoze angene kuwo loba sekutheni.”+
16 Wasethatha abantwana wabagona futhi wababusisa ebabeka izandla.+
17 Wathi esesendleleni wagijinyelwa ngenye indoda yafika yazilahla phansi yaguqa phambi kwakhe, yambuza yathi: “Mfundisi Omuhle, kumele ngenzeni ukuze ngizuze ilifa lokuphila okungapheliyo?”+
18 UJesu wathi kuyo: “Kungani ungibiza ngokuthi ngimuhle? Kakho omuhle ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu kuphela.+
19 Angithi uyayazi imilayo ethi: ‘Ungabulali,+ ungafebi,*+ ungatshontshi,+ ungafakazi amanga,+ ungaqili abanye,+ hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.’”+
20 Indoda le yathi kuye: “Mfundisi, yonke imilayo le ngiyigcinile kusukela ngisesemncane.”
21 UJesu wayikhangela wezwa eyithanda, wasesithi kuyo, “Kulento eyodwa esilelayo kuwe: Hamba uyethengisa zonke izinto olazo unike abayanga, lapho-ke uzakuba lenotho ezulwini. Ngemva kwalokho usungabuya uzokuba ngumlandeli wami.”+
22 Kodwa yona yadana isizwa lokhu, yahamba isizwa ubuhlungu ngoba yayilempahla enengi.+
23 UJesu wakhangela abantu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: “Kuzakuba nzima kakhulu ukuthi abalemali bangene eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu!”+
24 Abafundi bamangala besizwa amazwi akhe. UJesu wasesithi: “Bantwabami, kunzima kakhulu ukungena eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu!
25 Kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene esikhaleni senalithi kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo angene eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu.”+
26 Lapho-ke bamangala kakhulu bathi kuye:* “Pho ngubani ongasindiswa?”+
27 UJesu wabakhangela wabathi nhlo wasesithi: “Ngokubona kwabantu lokhu ngeke kwenzeke, kodwa akunjalo kuNkulunkulu, ngoba kuNkulunkulu zonke izinto ziyenzeka.”+
28 UPhetro wasesithi kuye: “Kodwa thina sitshiye zonke izinto sakulandela.”+
29 UJesu wathi: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, kakho otshiye indlu kumbe abafowabo kumbe odadewabo kumbe unina kumbe uyise kumbe abantwana kumbe amasimu ngenxa yami langenxa yezindaba ezinhle,+
30 ongasoze athole sekuphindwe ka-100 ngalesisikhathi—izindlu, abafowabo, odadewabo, onina, abantwana lamasimu kanye lokuhlukuluzwa,+ aphinde athole lokuphila okungapheliyo esikhathini esizayo.*
31 Kodwa abanengi abokuqala bazakuba ngabokucina, abokucina babe ngabokuqala.”+
32 UJesu labafundi bakhe babesendleleni besiya* eJerusalema, uJesu ehamba phambi kwabo. Abafundi babemangele futhi abanye ababelandela basebesesaba. Waphinda futhi wabizela abaliTshumi Lambili eceleni, wabatshela izinto ezasezizakwenzakala kuye,+ wathi:
33 “Lalelani! Siya* eJerusalema njalo iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa kubaphristi abakhokhelayo lababhali. Bazayigwebela ukufa bayinikele ebantwini bezizweni.
34 Bona bazahlekisa ngayo, bayikhafulele, bayibhaxabule futhi bayibulale kodwa ngemva kwamalanga amathathu izavuka.”+
35 Amadodana kaZebhedi,+ uJakhobe loJohane, amlanda afika athi kuye: “Mfundisi, sifuna usenzele loba kuyini esizakucela kuwe.”+
36 Yena wathi kuwo: “Lifuna ngilenzeleni?”
37 Aphendula athi: “Sivumele ukuthi nxa ususenkazimulweni yakho,+ omunye wethu ahlale esandleni sakho sokudla, omunye kwesenxele.”
38 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuwo: “Alikwazi elikucelayo. Lingayinatha yini inkomitsho engiyinathayo loba libhabhathizwe ngobhabhathizo engibhabhathizwa ngalo?”+
39 Athi kuye: “Ye singakwenza.” UJesu wasesithi kuwo: “Inkomitsho engiyinathayo lizayinatha, lobhabhathizo engibhabhathizwa ngalo lizabhabhathizwa ngalo.+
40 Kodwa ukuhlala esandleni sami sokudla loba kwesenxele ayisikho kwami ukuthi selingakuphiwa yimi, ngokwalabo asebekulungiselwe.”
41 Abalitshumi bathi bekuzwa lokhu bacaphukela uJakhobe loJohane.+
42 Kodwa uJesu wababiza wasesithi kubo: “Liyakwazi ukuthi ababusa izizwe bazenzela umathanda phezu kwazo futhi labakhokheli bazo bazigcina zingaphansi kwabo.+
43 Akumelanga kube njalo kini. Loba ngubani ofuna ukuba mkhulu phakathi kwenu kumele abe yinceku yenu,+
44 njalo loba ngubani ofuna ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu kufanele abe yisigqili sabo bonke,
45 ngoba leNdodana yomuntu ayilandanga ukuzosetshenzelwa kodwa yalanda ukuzosebenza+ lokunikela ngempilo yayo ibe yinhlawulo yabanengi.”+
46 Ngemva kwalokho bangena eJerikho. Wathi esephuma eJerikho elabafundi bakhe labantu abanengi, uBhathimewu (indodana kaThimewu) owayeyisiphofu esihamba sicela ebantwini wayehlezi eceleni komgwaqo.+
47 Wathi esizwa ukuthi nguJesu umNazaretha, waqalisa ukumemeza esithi: “Ndodana kaDavida,+ Jesu, woba lesihawu kimi!”+
48 Abanengi bathi bemuzwa bamkhuza bemtshela ukuthi athule kodwa yena waqhubeka ememeza kakhulu esithi: “Ndodana kaDavida, woba lesihawu kimi!”
49 Yikho uJesu wama wasesithi: “Mtsheleni abuye lapha.” Ngakho bayibiza indoda eyisiphofu bathi kuyo: “Ungesabi! Sukuma uyakubiza.”
50 Yalahlela phansi isembatho sayo sangaphandle, yathi lothu yaqonda kuJesu.
51 UJesu wasesithi kuyo: “Ufuna ngikwenzeleni?” Indoda eyisiphofu yathi kuye: “Rabhoni,* ngicela ungenze ngiphinde ngibone.”
52 UJesu wasesithi kuyo: “Hamba. Ukholo lwakho lukusilisile.”+ Yahle yaqalisa ukubona,+ yasihamba imlandela emgwaqweni.
