Matthew 19
Ukuchitha Umtshado
1UJesu eseqedile ukutsho lezizinto, wasuka eGalile waya emmangweni waseJudiya ngaphetsheya kweJodani. 2Walandelwa ngamaxuku amakhulu abantu, wabasilisa khona lapho. 3Abanye abaFarisi beza kuye ukuzamlinga. Bambuza bathi, “Kusemthethweni yini ukuthi indoda ilahle umkayo loba kungasiphi isizatho?” 4Waphendula wathi, “Kalikubalanga yini ukuthi ekuqaleni uMdali ‘wabenza baba yisilisa lesifazana,’ 5wathi, ‘Ngalesi isizatho indoda izatshiya uyise lonina ihlanganiswe lomkayo, kuthi laba ababili bazakuba yinyamanye?’ 6Ngakho kabasebabili, kodwa sebemunye. Ngakho lokho uNkulunkulu asekuhlanganisile akungehlukaniswa muntu.” 7Babuza bathi, “Kungani pho uMosi walaya ukuthi indoda imuphe umkayo incwadi yesahlukaniso imxotshe?” 8UJesu waphendula wathi, “UMosi walivumela ukuthi lilahle omkenu ngokuba izinhliziyo zenu zazilukhuni. Kodwa kwakungenjalo ekuqaleni. 9Ngilitshela ukuthi lowo olahla umkakhe, ngaphandle kokuba efebile, athathe omunye umfazi uyaphinga.” 10Abafundi bathi kuye, “Nxa kumi kanjalo phakathi kwendoda lomkayo kungcono ukungathathi.” 11UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kasuye wonke ongalemukela leli ilizwi, kodwa labo kuphela abaliphiweyo. 12Ngokuba abanye bangabathenwa ngenxa yokuthi bazalwa benjalo; abanye benziwa njalo ngabantu; njalo abanye bakudela ukutshada ngenxa yombuso wezulu. Lowo ongakwamukela lokho kakwemukele.” 13Kwasekulethwa abantwana abancinyane kuJesu ukuba ababeke izandla abakhulekele. Kodwa abafundi babakhuza labo ababalethayo. 14UJesu wathi, “Yekelani abantwana beze kimi, lingabavimbeli, ngokuba umbuso wezulu ungowabanjengalaba.” 15Esebabekile izandla wasuka lapho wahamba.Ijaha Elinothileyo
16Kweza enye indoda kuJesu yabuza yathi, “Mfundisi, ngenzeni okulungileyo ukuze ngizuze ukuphila okungapheliyo na?” 17UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ungibuzelani ngokulungileyo na? Munye kuphela olungileyo. Uma ufuna ukungena ekuphileni, landela imilayo.” 18Indoda yabuza yathi, “Yiphi na?” UJesu waphendula wathi, “ ‘Ungabulali, ungaphingi, ungebi, ungafakazeli amanga, 19hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko,’ njalo ‘thanda umakhelwana njengoba uzithanda wena.” 20Ijaha lathi, “Yonke le ngiyigcinile. Pho ngisaswelani na?” 21UJesu waphendula wathi, “Aluba ufuna ukuthi uphelele, thengisa yonke inotho yakho uphe abayanga, lapho-ke uzakuba lenotho ezulwini. Usungeza ungilandele.” 22Kwathi ukuba ijaha lelo likuzwe lokho, lasuka lidanile ngokuba lalilenotho enengi kakhulu. 23UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi kunzima emuntwini onothileyo ukuthi angene embusweni wezulu. 24Njalo ngiyalitshela ukuthi kungaba lula ukuthi ikamela lingene embotsheni yenalithi kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.” 25Kwathi abafundi sebekuzwile lokhu bamangala kakhulu babuza bathi, “Pho ngubani ongasindiswa na?” 26UJesu wabakhangela wathi, “Ngokwabantu, lokhu kakwenzeki, kodwa kuNkulunkulu zonke izinto ziyenzeka.” 27UPhethro wamphendula wathi, “Sesitshiye konke ukuze sikulandele! Pho sizazuzani na?” 28UJesu wathi kubo, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi ngesikhathi sokwenziwa kabutsha izinto zonke, lapho iNdodana yoMuntu isihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, lina elingilandelayo lani lizahlala ezihlalweni zobukhosi ezilitshumi lambili, lahlulele izizwana ezilitshumi lambili zako-Israyeli. 29Njalo bonke labo abatshiye izindlu zabo, loba abafowabo, loba odadewabo kumbe uyise loba unina kumbe abantwana loba amasimu ngenxa yami bazakwamukeliswa okwandiswe ngekhulu njalo bazakudla ilifa lokuphila kwaphakade. 30Kodwa abanengi abangabokuqala bazakuba ngabokucina njalo abanengi abangabokucina bazakuba ngabokuqala.
