1 Ke kaloku, ngolokuqala usuku lweveki, ngesifingo sokusa, beza engcwabeni, bephethe ubulawu ababebulungisile, kukho nabanye abafazi nabo.2 Balifumana ke ilitye liqengqiwe, lesuka engcwabeni.3 Bakuba bengenile, abawufumananga umzimba weNkosi uYesu.4 Kwathi, ekukhohlweni kwabo yile nto, kwabonakala amadoda amabini, ebafikela, eneengubo ezibengezelayo.5 Ke kaloku, bakubon’ ukuba bangenelwe kukoyika, beqondele emhlabeni, athi kubo, Yini na ukuba ophilileyo nimfune phakathi kwabafileyo?6 Akakho apha, uvukile; khumbulani ukuthetha kwakhe kuni, oko ebesekwelaseGalili,7 esithi, UNyana woMntu umelwe kukuthi anikelwe ezandleni zabantu abangaboni, abethelelwe emnqamlezweni, athi ngomhla wesithathu abuye avuke.8 Bawakhumbula ke amazwi akhe;9 bebuyile engcwabeni, bazibika zonke ezo zinto kwabalishumi elinamnye, nakubo bonke abanye.10 Baye ke bengooMariya waseMagadala, noYohana, noMariya kaYakobi, nabanye ababenabo, abazixelayo ezo zinto kubapostile.11 Amazwi abo abonakala emehlweni abo engathi kukulavuza; abakholwa ngabo.12 Esukile ke uPetros, wagidima waya engcwabeni; athi eqondele, azibone iilinen abesongelwe kuzo, zilele zodwa; wagoduka, emangalisiwe koko kuhlileyo.

13 Kwabonakala kusiya babini bakubo, kwangaloo mini, kumzana ozitadiya zimashumi mathandathu, umgama wawo neYerusalem, ogama liyiEmawusi.14 Baye bona bexoxa bodwa ngazo zonke izinto ezibe zihlile.15 Kwathi, ekuxoxeni kwabo, nasekubuzaneni kwabo, uYesu ngokwakhe wasondela wahamba nabo.16 Kuloko amehlo abo ayebanjiwe, ukuba bangamazi.17 Wathi ke kubo, Ziindawo zini na ezi nincokola ngazo, nihamba nibe nithe matshamatsha?18 Uphendule ke omnye, lo ugama linguKleyopa, wathi kuye, Umhambi eYerusalem apha nguwe wedwa na, ukuba ungazazi nje izinto ezihle khona ngazo ezi mini?19 Wathi kubo, Ziphi na? Bathi ke bona kuye, EzingoYesu waseNazarete, obeyindoda engumprofeti, enobunkunkqele ekwenzeni nasekuthetheni, phambi koThixo nabo bonke abantu;20 ukuba bathini na ababingeleli abakhulu nabaphathi bethu ukumnikela ukuba agwetywe afe, bambethelela nasemnqamlezweni.21 Ke kaloku, thina besithembe ukuba nguye oza kukhulula uSirayeli ngentlawulelo; kunjalonje ke, namhla lusuku lwesithathu zenzekile ezo zinto.22 Kananjalo abafazi abathile bethu, ababesengcwabeni kwakusasa, babethe sathi nqa.23 Bathe bengawufumani umzimba wakhe, beza besithi, babone nombono wezithunywa zezulu, ezithi zona, uhleli.24 Basuka nabathile ababenathi, baya engcwabeni, bafika kunjengoko babetshilo abafazi; ke yena abambonanga.25 Waza yena wathi kubo, Oyi! basweli-kuqonda, bantliziyo zizeka kade ukukholwa kuko konke abakuthethayo abaprofeti!26 UKristu ubengamelwe na kukuthi abuve obu bunzima, aze angene eluzukweni lwakhe?27 Uqalele ke kuMoses nakubo bonke abaprofeti, wabachazela kuzo zonke izibhalo iindawo ezingaye.28 Basondela kuloo mzana babesiya kuwo; wanga yena uyegqitha.29 Besuka bamzama, besithi, Hlala nathi; ngokuba kuza kuhlwa, nemini iseyisangene. Wangena ukuba ahlale nabo.30 Kwathi, ekungqengqeni kwakhe ngasesithebeni ndawonye nabo, wasithabatha isonka, wasikelela, waqhekeza, wabanika.31 Avulwa ke amehlo abo, bamazi; wathi shwaka yena kubo.32 Batshono ukuthi, Intliziyo yethu ibingavuthi na ngaphakathi kwethu, xa ebethetha nathi endleleni, naxa ebesityhilela izibhalo?33 Besuka kwangelo lixa, babuyela eYerusalem, babafumana abalishumi elinamnye, bequkene ndawonye nabo babenabo,34 besithi, INkosi inene ivukile, yabonakala kuSimon.35 Baye nabo bezichankcisa izinto zendlela, nokwazeka kwayo kubo ekuqhekezeni isonka.

36 Ke kaloku, bakubon’ ukuba bayazithetha ezo zinto, uYesu ngokwakhe wema phakathi kwabo, wathi kubo, Uxolo malube nani.37 Besuka ke bankwantya, bangenelwa kukoyika, beba babone umshologu.38 Wathi kubo, Yini na ukuba nikhathazeke? Kungani na ke ukuba kunyuke izicamango ezintliziyweni zenu?39 Khangelani izandla zam neenyawo zam, ngokuba ndim kanye; ndicofeni, nikhangele; ngokuba umshologu awunanyama namathambo, njengokuba nindibona ndinawo mna.40 Utshilo, wababonisa izandla neenyawo zakhe.41 Ke kaloku, bakubon’ ukuba abakakholwa, ngenxa yovuyo, bemangalisiwe, wathi kubo, Ninanto na idliwayo apha?42 Bamnika ke intwana yentlanzi eyosiweyo, neyenqatha lobusi;43 wathabatha, wadla emehlweni abo.44 Uthe ke kubo, Ngawo la amazwi endawathethayo kuni ndisenani, okokuba zimelwe kukuzaliseka zonke izinto ezibhaliweyo ngam emthethweni kaMoses, nasebaprofetini, nasezindumisweni.45 Wandula wayivula ingqiqo yabo, ukuze baziqonde izibhalo;46 wathi kubo, Kubhaliwe ngokunjalo, umelwe ngokunjalo uKristu kukuthi eve ubunzima, abuye avuke kwabafileyo ngomhla wesithathu;47 nokuba kuvakaliswe egameni lakhe inguquko noxolelo lwezono kuzo zonke iintlanga, kuqalelwa eYerusalem.48 Nina ke ningamangqina ezi zinto.49 Yabonani, mna ndilithumela kuni idinga likaBawo; ke nina hlalani kuwo umzi oyiYerusalem, nide nambathiswe amandla aphuma enyangweni.

50 Ke kaloku wabarholela ngaphandle, kwada kwaya eBhetani; waziphakamisa izandla zakhe, wabasikelela.51 Kwathi, ekubasikeleleni kwakhe, wahluka kubo, wenyuswa wasiwa emazulwini.52 Baza bona, bakuba bequbudile kuye, babuyela eYerusalem benovuyo olukhulu.53 Bamana behleli etempileni, bedumisa, bebonga uThixo. Amen.
