UJesu upha iinkulungwana ezihlanu ukudla
(Mt 14:13-21; Mk 6:30-44; Lk 9:10-17)
1Isikhatjhana ngemva kwalokho, uJesu wayamela ngaphetjheya kwelwandle leGalile, laphakhunye kuthiwa lilwandle leThibheriyasi. 2Isiqubuthu esikhulu samlandela ngombana sabona iimangaliso azenza phezu kwabagulako. 3UJesu wenyukela entabeni, wafika wahlala phasi nabafundi bakhe. 4Isikhathi somnyanya wePhasika lamaJuda besesitjhidele. 5Kwathi lokha uJesu abona isiqubuthu esikhulu sisiza kuye, wabuza uFlebhe wathi: “Singakuthengaphi ukudla ukupha abantwaba na?” 6Wabuza lokhu amzizinya ngombana gade sele asazi bona uzokwenza njani.
7UFlebhe wamphendula wathi: “Isikwa seempaparwana ezimakhulu amabili wesiliva angekhe sabanela kobana omunye nomunye afumane okuncani.”
8Omunye wabafundi bakhe, u-Andrisi, umfowabo lakaSimoni Pitrosi, wathi: 9“Kunomsana lapha ophethe imilombo emihlanu yesikwa sebhali neenhlambi ezimbili; kodwana kuyini lokho kwabanengi kangaka na?”
10UJesu wabatjela bona bahlalise abantu phasi. Bekukhona lapho utjani obunengi, yeke abantu bahlala phasi, pheze bekuziinkulungwana ezihlanu zamadoda. 11UJesu wathatha isikwa wathokoza kuZimu wabela boke abantu egade bahlezi lapho. Wenza njalo nangeenhlambi.
12Kwathi boke sebasuthi, wathi ebafundini bakhe: “Buthelelani iintshutshuru eziseleko; kungalahleki ilitho.” 13Yeke bazibuthelela zoke, bazalisa iinqwebu ezilitjhumi nambili ngeentshutshuru ezisele emilombeni emihlanu yesikwa sebhali ebegade igonywa babantu.
14Kwathi lokha abantu nababona iimangaliso ezenziwa nguJesu, bathoma ukuthi: “Kwamambala, lo mphorofidi obekufanele eze ephasinapha!” 15UJesu asazi bonyana bazimisele ukuza kobana bamkatelele abe yikosi, wazirhotjha wabuyela entabeni yedwa.
UJesu ukhamba phezu kwamanzi
(Mt 14:22-33; Mk 6:45-52)
16Kwathi sekurhwaqele, abafundi bakhe behlela ngelwandle, 17lapha bafese bangena ngemkhunjini bayamela eKapernawumi. Besele kusebusukwaneni, uJesu angakezi kibo. 18Ngesikhatheso ummoya onamandla bewuvunguza namanzi akhephuzela. 19Sele bathaye amakhilomitha amahlanu ukuya kwamathandathu, babona uJesu akhamba ngaphezu kwamanzi, atjhidela ngemkhunjinabo, bethuka kwamambala. 20Kodwana wathi kibo: “Ningesabi! Ngimi!” 21Yeke bamamukela ngemkhunjini, khonokho umkhumbi wafika endaweni lapha gade basiya khona.
UJesu sisikwa sokuphila
22Ngelanga elilandelako isiqubuthu egade sihlezi ngaphetjheya kwelwandle, sakhumbula bona bekunomkhumbi owodwa kwaphela lapho. Begodu bebazi bonyana uJesu azange angene nabafundi bakhe nokobana bakhambe ngaphandle kwakhe. 23Eminye imikhumbi evela eThibheriyasi, yafika hlanu kwalapha isiqubuthu besigomela khona isikwa ngemva kobana iKosi uJesu ithokozile. 24Kwathi bona isiqubuthu sibone bonyana uJesu bekangekho lapho nabafundi bakhe, sangena ngaphakathi kwemikhumbi saya eKapernawumi, simfuna.
25Kwathi bona abantu bafumane uJesu ngaphetjheya kwelwandle, bathi kuye: “Mfundisi, ufike nini lapha na?”
26UJesu waphendula wathi: “Kwamambala ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Aningifuni ngombana nabona iimbonakaliso, kodwana ningifuna ngombana nadla izikwa, nasutha. 27Ningasebenzeli ukudla okuphelako, kodwana ukudla kokuphila okungapheliko, lokho iNdodana yoMuntu ezanipha khona. Phezu kwayo uZimu uYise, ubeke igunya lakhe.”
28Yeke bambuza bathi: “Alo-ke kufuze senzeni ukwenza okufunwa nguZimu na?”
29UJesu wabaphendula wathi: “Umsebenzi kaZimu kukobana nikholwe kiloyo amthumileko.”
30Baphendula bathi: “Ungenza isibonakaliso bani esingenza bona sikukholwe na? Ungenzani na? 31Abokhokho bethu bagoma imana ngerhalawumbeni, njengombana kutloliwe ukuthi, ‘Wabapha amabele wezulwini bona bagome.’ ”
32Yeke uJesu wathi kibo: “Kwamambala ngiqinisile ngithi: Akusuye uMosi owanipha isikwa esivela ezulwini; nguBaba opha isikwa samambala esivela ezulwini 33ngombana isikwa sakaZimu ngiloyo owehla ezulwini, anikele ukuphila ephasini.”
34Bathi kuye: “Kosi, sipha isikweso njalonjalo.”
35UJesu wathi kibo: “Mina ngisisikwa sokuphila, loyo ozako kimi angekhe alamba; naloyo okholwako kimi angekhe oma. 36Nje-ke, nginitjelile bonyana ningibonile, kodwana anikholwa. 37Koke uBaba anginikela khona kuzakuza kimi; ozako kimi angekhe ngamnina 38ngombana ngivela ezulwini, ingasibona ngenze intando yami kodwana kobana ngenze intando yaloyo ongithumileko. 39Godu kuyintando yongithumileko bona ngingalahlekelwa lilitho lalokho anginikele khona, kodwana ngikuvuse ngomhla wokuphela. 40Lokhu kuyintando kaBaba kobana omunye nomunye obona iNdodana akholwe kiyo uzokuba nokuphila okungapheliko, yeke ngizamvusa ngomhla wokuphela.”
41Abantu bathoma ukurhonona ngaye ngombana uthe: “Ngisisikwa esivela ezulwini.” 42Yeke bathi: “Kanti lo akasuye uJesu indodana kaJosefa esazi uyise nonina na? Alo-ke, utjho njani gadesi bona uvela ezulwini?”
43UJesu waphendula wathi: “Lisani ukurhonona phakathi kwenu! 44Akakho ongeza kimi nakube uBaba ongithumileko akamdoseli kimi; mina-ke ngizamvusa ngomhla wokuphela. 45Kutloliwe kubaphorofidi kwathiwa, ‘Boke bazakufundiswa nguZimu.’ Ngiloyo naloyo ozwa uBaba afunde kuye, uza kimi. 46Akakho owakhe wabona uBaba ngaphandle kwaloyo obuya kuZimu; ngiloyo-ke kwaphela obone uBaba. 47Kwamambala ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Okholwako unokuphila okungapheliko. 48Mina ngisisikwa sokuphila. 49Abokhokho benu bagoma imana erhalawumbeni, kodwana bafa. 50Kodwana nasi isikwa esivela ezulwini okuthi umuntu angasigoma angafi. 51Mina ngisisikwa sokuphila esehla ezulwini, osigomako uzakuphila ngokungapheliko. Isikwesi siyinyamami engiyinikela kobana ibe kuphila kwephasi.”
52Yeke kwathoma ukuphikisana hlangana namaJuda, athi: “Umuntu lo angasipha njani inyamakhe bona sigome na?”
53UJesu wathi kibo: “Kwamambala ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Naningagomi inyama yeNdodana yoMuntu nisele neengazi zayo, angekhe naba nokuphila. 54Loyo ogoma inyamami asele neengazi zami, unokuphila okungapheliko; ngizamvusa ngomhla wokuphela 55ngombana inyamami ikukudla kwamambala neengazi zami zisiselo samambala. 56Loyo ogoma inyamami, asele iingazi zami, uhlala ngaphakathi kwami nami ngaphakathi kwakhe. 57Njengombana uBaba ophilako angithumile, nami ngiphila ngoBaba; njalo-ke loyo ogoma mina uzakuphila ngebanga lami. 58Lesi sisikwa esehla sivela ezulwini. Abokhokho benu badla imana bafa, kodwana ogoma mina uzakuphila ngokungapheliko.”
59Lokhu wakutjho lokha nafundisa ngesinagogini eKapernawumi.
Amezwi wokuphila okungapheliko
60Lokha abanengi babafundi bakhe nabezwa lokhu, bathi: “Ifundiso le ibudisi, ngubani ongayamukela na?”
61UJesu wayelela bona abafundi bakhe bayarhonona ngalokhu, wathi kibo: “Lokhu kuyanikhubekisa na? 62Alo, kuzokubanjani lokha nanibona iNdodana yoMuntu inyukela lapha ivela khona na? 63NguMoya onikela ukuphila; inyama ayisizi ngalitho. Amezwi engiwakhulume kini anguMoya nokuphila. 64Kodwana nanyana kunjalo, kukhona abanye benu abangafuni ukukholwa!” UJesu bekasazi kwekuthomeni bona bobani ebebangakholwa nokobana ngubani ozamkhaphela. 65Godu wathi: “Kungebangelo nginitjele bonyana akakho ongeza kimi ngaphandle kobana enziwe nguBaba.”
66Ngesikhathesi inengi labafundi bakhe lajika, azange belisamlandela godu. 67Yeke uJesu wabuza abalitjhumi nambili wathi: “Angithi nani nifuna ukutlhera, akusinjalo?”
68USimoni Pitrosi wamphendula wathi: “Kosi, sizakuya kubani na? Nguwe onamezwi wokuphila okungapheliko. 69Nje-ke siyakholwa besiyazi bona ungoCwengileko ovela kuZimu.”
70UJesu waphendula wathi: “Angithi ngakhetha nina abalitjhumi nambili, kodwana omunye wenu nguSathana!” 71Bekakhuluma ngoJudasi, indodana kaSimoni Iskariyodi, obangomunye wabalitjhumi nambili ozomkhaphela.
