Izibusiso

1 Kwathi ebona amaxuku wakhwela entabeni wahlala phansi. Abafundi bakhe beza kuye,

2 waseqalisa ukubafundisa esithi:

3 “Babusisiwe abampofu emoyeni ngoba umbuso wezulu ngowabo.

4 Babusisiwe labo abakhalayo ngoba bazaduduzwa.

5 Babusisiwe abathobekileyo, ngoba bazazuza ilifa lomhlaba.

6 Babusisiwe labo abalambela bomele ukulunga, ngoba bazasuthiswa.

7 Babusisiwe abalesihawu, ngoba bazakwenzelwa isihawu.

8 Babusisiwe abahlanzekileyo enhliziyweni ngoba bazabona uNkulunkulu.

9 Babusisiwe abalamulayo, ngoba bazathiwa ngamadodana kaNkulunkulu.

10 Babusisiwe abahlukunyezwayo ngenxa yokulunga, ngoba umbuso wezulu ungowabo.

11 “Libusisiwe lina nxa abantu belithuka, belihlukumeza njalo beligcona ngobubi bonke ngenxa yami. 12 Thokozani lijabule ngokuba mkhulu umvuzo wenu ezulwini, ngoba bahlukunyezwa ngaleyondlela abaphrofethi ababephambi kwenu.

Itshwayi Lomhlaba Lokukhanya Komhlaba

13 “Lilitshwayi lomhlaba lina. Kodwa uma itshwayi lingabaduma lingavuselelwa njani na? Kaliselamsebenzi, kuphela nje ukuthi lichithelwe phandle linyathelwe ngabantu.

14 “Lina liyikukhanya kwelizwe. Idolobho elakhelwe entabeni kalisitheki. 15 Njalo abantu kabalumathisi isibane basibeke ngaphansi kwesitsha. Kodwa basibeka phezu koluthi lwaso ukuze sikhanyisele bonke abasendlini.

16 Ngokunjalo yenzani ukukhanya kwenu kukhanye phambi kwabantu ukuze babone izenzo zenu ezinhle baze badumise uYihlo osezulwini.

Ukugcwalisa umthetho

17 “Lingacabangi ukuthi ngilande ukudiliza uMthetho labaPhrofethi. Kangilandanga ukubadiliza kodwa ukubaphelelisa.

18 Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi kuze kunyamalale izulu lomhlaba kakuyikususwa lutho eMthethweni, loba libadlana kumbe lichatshana elilotshiweyo, kuze kupheleliswe konke. 19 Loba ngubani owephula owodwa nje wale imilayo emincinyane, afundise abanye ukwenza njalo uzathiwa mncinyane okudlulayo embusweni wezulu, kodwa loba ngubani olandela njalo afundise imilayo le uzathiwa mkhulu embusweni wezulu. 20 Yikho ngiyalitshela ukuthi ngaphandle kokuthi ukulunga kwenu kudlule okwabaFarisi labafundisi bomthetho, ngempela kalizukuwungena umbuso wezulu.

Ukubulala Umuntu

21 “Selezwa ukuthi kwathiwa kwabasendulo, ‘Ungabulali; lowo obulalayo uzagwetshwa.’

22 Kodwa ngilitshela ngithi loba ngubani ozondela umfowabo uzakwahlulelwa emthethwandaba. Njalo lowo othi kumfowabo, ‘Silima ndini,’ uzathonisiswa eMphakathini. Kodwa lowo othi, ‘Wena siwula!’ uzakuba sengozini yomlilo wesihogo.

23 “Ngakho-ke uma uletha umnikelo wakho ealithareni ubusukhumbula ukuthi umfowenu ulesikhwili lawe, 24 tshiya khonapho isipho sakho phambi kwe-alithare. Qala uyexolisana laye umfowenu anduba ubuye uzokupha umnikelo wakho.

25 “Phangisa uqedelane lalowo okumangalelayo lisahamba lisiya emthethwandaba, funa uzahle akunikele kumehluleli ozakunikela kumlindijele ukuthi akuphosele entolongweni.

26 Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi, kawuphumi lapho uze ubhadale kanye lohlamvana lokucina lwemali.

Ukuphinga

27 “Selezwa ukuthi kwathiwa, ‘Ungaphingi.’

28 Kodwa ngilitshela ukuthi lowo okhangela owesifazana amfise usephinge laye enhliziyweni yakhe. 29 Nxa ilihlo lakho lokunene likwenzisa isono likhuphuluze ulikhuphe ulilahlele khatshana. Kungcono kuwe ukuthi ulahlekelwe ngesisodwa isitho somzimba wakho kulokuthi umzimba wakho wonke uphoselwe esihogweni somlilo. 30 Njalo nxa isandla sakho sokunene sikwenzisa isono, siqume usiphosele kude. Kungcono kuwe ukuthi ulahlekelwe ngesisodwa isitho somzimba wakho kulokuthi umzimba wakho wonke uye esihogweni somlilo.

31 “Kwathiwa, ‘Lowo olahla umfazi wakhe kamuphe incwadi yesahlukaniso.’ 32 Kodwa mina ngilitshela ngithi lowo olahla umfazi wakhe, ngaphandle kokuba efebile, umenza afebe, njalo lowo othatha umfazi olahliweyo uyafeba.

Izifungo

33 “Njalo selezwa ukuthi kwathiwa kwabendulo, ‘Ungephuli isifungo sakho, kodwa ugcwalise izifungo ozenzileyo eNkosini.’

34 Kodwa mina ngithi, Livele lingafungi: loba ngezulu ngoba liyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu;

35 kumbe ngomhlaba, ngoba uyisinyathelo sakhe; loba ngeJerusalema ngoba lidolobho leNkosi enkulu. 36 Njalo ungafungi ngekhanda lakho ngoba ungeke wenze lalunye unwele lube mhlophe kumbe lube mnyama. 37 Akuthi u ‘Yebo’ wenu abe ngu ‘Yebo’ lo ‘Hatshi’ abe ngu ‘Hatshi’; loba yini engaphezu kwalokhu ivela koMubi.

Ilihlo Ngelihlo

38 “Selezwa ukuthi kwathiwa, ‘Ilihlo ngelihlo, njalo izinyo ngezinyo.’

39 Kodwa mina ngiyalitshela ngithi, Lingamelani lomuntu omubi. Nxa omunye angakutshaya esihlathini sokunene, mphendulele lesinye njalo.

40 Njalo uma omunye efuna ukukumangalela ukuze akuthathele isigqoko sakho, myekele athathe lejazi lakho njalo. 41 Uma omunye ekubamba ngamandla ukuthi uhambe ikhilomitha elilodwa, hamba laye abe mabili.

42 Muphe lowo ocelayo kuwe, njalo ungamfulatheli lowo ofuna ukweboleka kuwe.

Ukuthanda Izitha

43 “Selezwa ukuthi kwathiwa, ‘Thanda umakhelwana wakho, usizonde isitha sakho.’

44 Kodwa mina ngilitshela ukuthi, Thandani izitha zenu, libathandazele labo abalihluphayo,

45 ukuze libe ngamadodana kaYihlo osezulwini. Wenza ilanga lakhe liphume kwababi labalungileyo, anise izulu kwabenza okuhle lakwabangalunganga. 46 Uma lithanda labo abalithandayo kuphela, lizazuza mvuzo bani na? Kabenzi njalo na labathelisi? 47 Aluba libingelela abafowenu bodwa, kuyini elikwenzayo okudlula abanye na? Kabenzi khona lokho labahedeni yini?

48 Ngakho wobani ngabapheleleyo njengalokhu uYihlo wenu wasezulwini ephelele.
