9  UJesu wathi kibo: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini kunabanye abajame lapha abangekhe bafe bangakawuboni umBuso kaZimu sewufike ngamandla.”+  Ngemva kwamalanga asithandathu, uJesu wathatha uPitrosi, uJakopo noJwanisi bakhuphukela entabeni ede babodwa. UJesu watjhuguluka phambi kwabo;+  izambatho zakhe zathoma ukumanyazela, zaba mhlophe twa! Ukudlula indlela nanyana ngimuphi umhlanzi wezambatho ephasini egade angazenza zibe mhlophe ngayo.  Godu, kwabonakala u-Eliya noMosi bakhuluma noJesu.  UPitrosi wathi kuJesu: “Rabi, kuhle ngathi ukuba lapha. Nje-ke sivumela sihlome amatende amathathu, elinye kube ngelakho, elinye kube ngelakaMosi bese elinye kube ngelaka-Eliya.”  Eqinisweni, uPitrosi bekangazi ukuthi angathini ngombana bebathukwe khulu.  Kwavela ilifu, labasibekela, kwazwakala ilizwi+ elifini lithi: “Le yiNdodanami, engiyithandako.+ Yilaleleni.”+  Ngemva kwalokho, bathalaza babona ukuthi akusenamuntu ngaphandle kwabo noJesu.  Njengombana behla entabeni, uJesu wabatjela indlebe ukuzwa bona bangatjeli muntu ngalokho abakubonileko+ bekube kulapho iNdodana yomuntu seyivukile kwabafileko.+ 10  Yeke ilizwelo balibeka ehliziyweni* kodwana babonisana bodwa ukuthi ukuvuswokhu kwabahlongakeleko kutjho ukuthini. 11  Bathoma ukumbuza, bathi: “Kubayini abatloli bathi u-Eliya+ kufuze eze qangi?”+ 12  Wathi kibo: “Nangambala u-Eliya uza qangi abuyisele zoke izinto esigeni;+ kodwana kuza njani kutlolwe ngeNdodana yomuntu bona izakutlhaga khulu beyininwe na?+ 13  Kodwana ngithi kini u-Eliya,+ kuhlekuhle, weza, bazenzela umathanda ngaye njengombana kutloliwe ngaye.”+ 14  Kuthe nabafika kwabanye abafundi, babona isiqubuthu esikhulu sibabungelele, lapho bekunabatloli baphikisana nabo.+ 15  Kodwana msinyana soke isiqubuthu sithe nasimbonako, sarareka khulu, sagijimela kuye bona siyomlotjhisa. 16  Ngalokho wababuza: “Niphikisana ngani nabo?” 17  Omunye esiqubuthwini wamphendula wathi: “Mfundisi, ngilethe indodanami kuwe ngombana inommoya oyenza ingakghoni ukukhuluma.+ 18  Uthi nawuyibambako, uyidule phasi, ibhubhudlhe amagwebu, iququde amazinyo beyiphelelwe mamandla. Ngibawe abafundi bakho bona bawukhuphe kodwana babhalelwe.” 19  Wathi kibo: “Maye! Sizukulwana esingakholwako,+ kuzabe kube kunini nginani? Kufuze nginibekezelele isikhathi esingangani? Mletheni kimapha.”+ 20  Baletha umsana loyo kuye kodwana kuthe ummoya nawubona uJesu, wabhudabhuda umsana. Ngemva kokumdula phasi, wasolo agedeka phasi, abhubhudlha amagwebu. 21  UJesu wabuza uyise womsana wathi: “Sekusikhathi esingangani lokhu kwenzeka?” Wathi: “Kusukela ebuntwaneni bakhe, 22  sekukanengi umlahlela emlilweni nemanzini ufuna ukumbulala. Kodwana nawungakghona ukumlapha, sibawa usirhawukele, usisize.” 23  UJesu wathi kuye: “Kubayini uthi, ‘Nawungakghona’? Ngombana zoke izinto ziyenzeka emuntwini okholwako.”+ 24  Msinyana uyise womntwana warhuwelela wathi: “Ngiyakholwa! Ngisiza lapha ngitlhoga khona ukukholwa!”+ 25  UJesu, abona ukuthi isiqubuthu sigijimela ngakibo, wakhalima ummoya omumbi, wathi kiwo: “Wena mmoya omenza angakghoni ukukhuluma begodu angezwa, ngikuyala bona uphume kuye, ungasangeni kuye godu!”+ 26  Ngemva kokurhuwelela nokubhudabhudeka kanengi, waphuma, umntwana wabonakala ngasuthi uhlongakele, kangangobana abantu abanengi bebathi: “Uhlongakele!” 27  Kodwana uJesu wambamba ngesandla wamvusa, wajama ngeenyawo. 28  Wangena ngendlini, abafundi bakhe bambuza ngemsitheleni bathi: “Kubayini thina sibhalelwe kuwuqotha?”+ 29  Wathi kibo: “Umhlobo lo ungaphuma kwaphela ngomthandazo.” 30  Basuka lapho badlula ngeGalile kodwana akhenge afune abantu bazi ngakho. 31  Ngombana bekafundisa abafundi bakhe athi kibo: “INdodana yomuntu izokukghatjhelwa ezandleni zabantu, bazoyibulala,+ naphezu kokubulawa, izokuvuswa ngemva kwamalanga amathathu.”+ 32  Nokho, akhenge bawazwisise amezwakhe, basaba nokumbuza. 33  Bafika eKapernawumi. Kuthe nabangendlini, wababuza: “Beniphikisana ngani endleleni?”+ 34  Bathula ngombana endleleni bebaphikisana ngokuthi ngubani omkhulu phakathi kwabo. 35  Wahlala phasi wabiza abaliTjhumi namBili wathi kibo: “Nanyana ngubani ofuna ukuba ngewokuthoma, kufuze abe ngewokugcina kikho koke begodu abe sisebenzi sabo boke.”+ 36  Ngalokho wabiza umntwana wamjamisa phambi kwabo; wamsingatha, wathi kibo: 37  “Nanyana ngubani owamukela munye wabantwana abanjengalo+ ngebanga legama lami, uyangamukela nami nanyana ngubani ongamukelako akamukeli mina kwaphela kodwana wamukela naloyo ongithumileko.”+ 38  UJwanisi wathi kuye: “Mfundisi, sibone umuntu aqotha amadimoni ngegama lakho, silinge ukumvimba ngombana bekangasimlandelethu.”+ 39  Kodwana uJesu wathi: “Ningalingi ukumvimba ngombana akunamuntu ongenza imisebenzi yamandla ngegama lami ongajika msinyana angithuke. 40  Ngombana nanyana ngubani ongaphikisani nathi, ungakithi.+ 41  Nanyana ngubani oninikela ikapho yamanzi bona nisele ngombana ningebakaKrestu,+ ngiqinisile ngithi kini, angekhe alahlekelwe mvuzwakhe.+ 42  Kodwana nanyana ngubani owisa omunye wabancanaba abakholwako, kuzokuba ngcono ngaye bona kubotjhelwe entanyenakhe ilitje lokusila elizombeleziswa ngudumbana bese aphoselwe ngelwandle.+ 43  “Nangabe isandla sakho sikwenza wone, siqunte. Kungcono ukungena ekuphileni urholophele kunokobana ungene eGehena* emlilweni ongapheliko unezandla zombili.+ 44  *—— 45  Nangabe inyawo lakho likwenza wone, liqunte. Kungcono ungene ekuphileni usirhole kunokobana uphoselwe eGehena* uneenyawo ezimbili.+ 46  *—— 47  Nangabe ilihlo lakho likwenza wone, likhuphe ulilahle.+ Kungcono ukungena emBusweni kaZimu unelihlo linye kunokobana uphoselwe eGehena* unamehlo womabili,+ 48  lapho isibungu singafi khona nalapho umlilo ungacimi khona.+ 49  “Woke umuntu kufuze afufuzelwe ngetswayi lomlilo.+ 50  Itswayi lilungile kodwana nangabe liphelelwa butswayi balo, uzolinunga ngani?+ Yibani netswayi kini+ begodu nihlale ninokuthula komunye nomunye.”+
