Ukuhlalisana kwabaganeneyo
(Mark. 10:1; Luk. 16:18)
1Kwathi uJesu eseqedile lawo mazwi, wamuka eGalile, weza emikhawulweni yaseJudiya phesheya kweJordani. 2Izixuku ezinkulu zamlandela, waziphulukisa khona.
3Kwase kusondela kuye abaFarisi, bamlinga bathi: “Kuvunyelwe yini ukuba indoda ilahle umkayo noma ngaliphi icala na?”
4 Waphendula, wathi kubo: “Anifundanga yini ukuthi owadala ekuqaleni wabenza owesilisa nowesifazane, 5 wathi: ‘Ngenxa yalokho umuntu uyakushiya uyise nonina, anamathele kumkakhe; labo ababili bayakuba nyamanye,’ na? 6Ngakho abasebabili, kodwa banyamanye. Ngakho-ke lokho akuhlanganisileyo uNkulunkulu, umuntu makangakwahlukanisi.”
7 Bathi kuye: “Pho, uMose wayalelani ukuthi makanikwe incwadi yesahlukaniso, alahlwe, na?”
8Wathi kubo: “Ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo yenu uMose wanivumela ukwahlukana nabo omkenu, kepha kusukela kwasekuqaleni kwakungenjalo. 9 Namanje ngithi kini: Yilowo nalowo olahla umkakhe kungengokuphinga, aganwe ngomunye, uyaphinga; noganwa ngolahliweyo uyaphinga.”
10Abafundi bathi kuye: “Uma injalo indaba yomuntu nomkakhe, akukuhle ukuganwa.”
11Kepha wathi kubo: “Akusibo bonke abangalamukela leli zwi, kuphela abakunikiweyo. 12Ngokuba kukhona abathenwa abazalwa benjalo kwasesiswini sikanina; kukhona nabathenwa abathenwe ngabantu; kukhona futhi abathenwa abazithenileyo ngenxa yombuso wezulu. Ongakwamukela lokho akwamukele.”
Ukubusiswa kwabantwana
(Mark. 10:13; Luk. 18:15)
13Khona kwalethwa kuye abantwanyana ukuba abeke izandla phezu kwabo, akhuleke; kepha abafundi babakhuza. 14UJesu wayesethi: “Vumelani abantwana, ningabenqabeli ukuza kimi, ngokuba umbuso wezulu ungowabanjalo.” 15Wayesebeka izandla phezu kwabo; wamuka lapho.
Insizwa enothileyo
(Mark. 10:17; Luk. 18:18)
16Bheka-ke, kwasondela kuye othile, wathi: “Mfundisi, ngiyakwenzantoni enhle ukuba ngibe nokuphila okuphakade na?”
17Wathi kuye: “Ungibuzelani ngokuhle na? Munye ongomuhle. Kepha uma uthanda ukungena ekuphileni, gcina imiyalelo.”
18 Wathi kuye: “Miphi na?”
UJesu wathi: “Yile: Ungabulali, ungaphingi, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga; 19 yazisa uyihlo nonyoko; wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.”
20Insizwa yathi kuye: “Konke lokho ngikugcinile; ngisasilalelweni na?”
21 UJesu wathi kuye: “Uma uthanda ukuphelela, hamba uthengise ngempahla yakho, uphe abampofu, khona uzakuba negugu ezulwini; uze ungilandele.”
22Yathi insizwa ukuba izwe leli zwi, yamuka idabukile, ngokuba yayinengcebo enkulu.
23 Kepha uJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Onothileyo uyakungena kalukhuni embusweni wezulu. 24Futhi ngithi kini: Kulula ukuba ikamela lingene ngentunja yosungulo kunokuba onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.”
25Sebezwile lokho abafundi bethuka kakhulu, bathi: “Pho, kungasindiswa bani na?”
26 Kepha uJesu ebabheka wathi kubo: “Kubantu akunakwenzeka; kepha kuNkulunkulu kungenzeka konke.”
Umvuzo wokuzidela
(Mark. 10:28; Luk. 18:28)
27 Khona uPetru wathatha wathi kuye: “Bheka, thina sishiye konke, sakulandela. Pho, siyakutholani na?”
28 Wathi kubo uJesu: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Nina eningilandeleyo, ngokuphindukuzalwa lapho iNdodana yomuntu isihlezi esihlalweni senkazimulo yayo, nani niyakuhlala ezihlalweni zobukhosi eziyishumi nambili, nahlulele izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli. 29 Nalowo oshiye izindlu, noma abafowabo, noma odadewabo, noma uyise, noma unina, noma abantwana, noma amazwe ngenxa yegama lami, uyakwamukeliswa okuphindwe kaningi, adle ifa lokuphila okuphakade. 30 Kepha abaningi abokuqala bayakuba ngabokugcina, nabokugcina babe ngabokuqala.
