UMateyu 9
1 Engenile ke emkhombeni, wawela, Weza kufika emzini wakowabo.2 Ke kaloku bazisa kuye umntu onedumbe, elele elukhukweni. UYesu, elubona ukholo lwabo, wathi kuye onedumbe, Mntwana wam, yomelela; zixolelwe izono zakho.3 Besuka ababhali abathile, bathi phakathi kwabo, Lo uyanyelisa.4 UYesu, ezibona iingcingane zabo, wathi, Yini na ukuba nicinge izinto ezikhohlakeleyo ezintliziyweni zenu?5 Kuba okukhona kulula kukuphi na, kukho ukuthi, Zixolelwe izono zakho; kukho nokuthi, Vuka uhambe?6 Kodwa ukuze nazi ukuba unalo igunya emhlabeni uNyana woMntu lokuxolela izono (selesithi konedumbe), Vuka, uthabathe ukhuko lwakho, uye endlwini yakho.7 Wavuka ke, wemka waya endlwini yakhe.8 Zikubonile ke oko izihlwele, zamangaliswa, zamzukisa uThixo, obanike abantu igunya elingaka.
9 Edlula apho, uYesu wabona umntu ehleli endaweni yerhafu, okuthiwa nguMateyu; athi kuye, Ndilandele, Wesuka ke, wamlandela.10 Kwathi, akubon ukuba uhleli ngasesithebeni endlwini, kwabonakala into eninzi yababuthi berhafu naboni, yeza yahlala ndawonye noYesu nabafundi bakhe.11 Bakukubona oko abaFarisi, bathi kubafundi bakhe, Kungani na ukuba umfundisi wenu adle nababuthi berhafu naboni?12 Ekuvile ke uYesu oko, wathi kubo, Akufuneki gqirha kwabaphilileyo, lifuneka kwabafayo.13 Khaniye nifunde ukuba kukuthini na ukuthi, Ndithanda inceba, andithandi mbingelelo; kuba andize kubiza malungisa, ndize kubiza aboni ukuba baguquke.
14 Baza bafika kuye abafundi bakaYohane, besithi, Kungani na ukuba sizile ukudla kaninzi, thina nabaFarisi, kanti bona abafundi bakho abakuzili?15 Wathi uYesu kubo, Banako yini na abegumbi lomtshakazi ukukhedama, lo gama umyeni asenabo? Kodwa kuya kufika mihla awothi asuswe kubo umyeni, bandule ke ukuzila.16 Akukho ke ubeka isiziba somchako omtsha engutyeni endala; kuba eso sifakiweyo siyakrazula engutyeni, sibe sibi ngokunye isikroba.17 Kanjalo ayithiwa iwayini entsha ezintsubeni ezindala; kwenjiwe njalo, zingagqabhuka iintsuba, iphalale iwayini, zitshabalale iintsuba; yona iwayini entsha ithiwa ezintsubeni ezintsha, zigcinakale ezo nto zombini.
18 Akubon ukuba uyazithetha ezi zinto kubo, nanko kusiza umphathi, waqubuda kuye, esithi, Intombi yam ibhubhe ngoku; yiza ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo, yophila.19 Wesuka uYesu wamlandela, kwanabafundi bakhe.20 Nanko kusiza ntokazi ithile, eyayinethombo legazi iminyaka elishumi elinamibini; yafika ngasemva yachukumisa umqukumbelo wengubo yakhe;21 kuba ibisithi ngaphakathi kwayo, Ukuba ndithe ndachukumisa ingubo yakhe nje kodwa, ndophiliswa.22 Wajika uYesu, wayibona, wathi, Ntombi yam, yomelela, ukholo lwakho lukusindisile. Yasindiswa loo ntokazi kwangelo lixa.23 Uthe akufika uYesu endlwini yomphathi, wazibona iingwali nabantu abaninzi bephithizela;24 athi kubo, Khwelelani; kuba intombazana ayifile, ilele. Basuka bamwa ngentsini.25 Uthe ke bakukhutshelwa phandle abantu, wangena, wayibamba ngesandla, yaza yavuka intombazana leyo.26 Lwaza lwaphuma udumo lwale nto, lwaya kuwo wonke loo mhlaba.
27 Kuthe ke akuba edlula apho uYesu, walandelwa ziimfama ezimbini, zidanduluka, zisithi, Senzele inceba, nyana kaDavide.28 Zithe, akungena ke endlwini, zeza kufika kuye iimfama; athi kuzo uYesu, Niyakholwa na ukuba ndinako ukukwenza oko? Zithe kuye, Ewe, Nkosi.29 Wandula ukuwachukumisa amehlo azo, esithi, Ngokokholo lwenu makwenzeke kuni.30 Avuleka ke amehlo azo. Waza uYesu waziyala kalukhuni, esithi, Lumkani ingaziwa mntu le nto.31 Kodwa zona zaphuma, zalubhengeza udumo lwakhe kuwo wonke loo mhlaba.32 Ke kaloku zakubon ukuba ziyaphuma, kwabonakala kuziswa kuye umntu osisidenge, ophethwe yidemon.33 Kwathi, yakukhutshwa idemon, sathetha isidenge; zamangaliswa izihlwele, zisithi, Akuzanga kubonwe okunje kwaSirayeli.34 Ke bona abaFarisi babesithi, Iidemon ezi uzikhupha ngaye umphathi weedemon.
35 Waye uYesu eyihamba yonke imizi nemizana, efundisa ezindlwini zabo zesikhungu, evakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo zobukumkani, ephilisa izifo zonke nezikhuhlane zonke ebantwini.36 Wathi, akuzibona izihlwele, wasikwa yimfesane zizo, ngokuba zibe zityhafile, zichithakele ngokwezimvu ezingenamalusi.37 Aze athi kubafundi bakhe, Ukuvuna okunene kuninzi, kodwa bona abasebenzi bambalwa.38 Khungani ngoko eNkosini yokuvuna, ikhuphe abasebenzi, baye ekuvuneni kwayo.
