“ ‘Nome babona, bangakhanyelwa kahle,

nome beva, bangacacelwa kahle,

bangetiwuphendvuka

babuyele kuNkulunkulu,

batsetselelwe tono tabo.’ ”

Umfanekiso ngenhlanyelo letimilelako

26Jesu wachubeka watsi: “Umbuso waNkulunkulu ufanana nanaku: Umuntfu usakata inhlanyelo ensimini yakhe, 27ebusuku uyalala, emini avuke, nenhlanyelo iyamila ikhule, kodvwa yena abe angati kutsi ikhula njani. 28Umhlaba ngekwawo uveta kudla: Kucala kube likhaba, bese kuyabhaceka, kube netibhuluja leticinile, 29 kuyaye kutsi kungoma, kutsatfwe lisikela kuyewuvunwa, ngobe sikhatsi sekuvuna sesifikile.”

Umfanekiso ngesihlahla sendlulamitsi

(Mat. 13:31-32; Luk. 13:18-19)

30Jesu wabuta watsi: “Kodvwa umbuso waNkulunkulu singawufananisa nani nje? Singawubekisa ngani kodvwa? 31Unjengenhlanyelo yendlulamitsi lencane kakhulu. 32Kepha umuntfu nakayihlanyela emhlabatsini, itsi ingamila, ikhule ibe sihlahla lesikhulu lesiveta emagala lamakhulu lanemtfunti, ngisho netinyoni tesiganga tifike takhe tidleke tato kuso.”

Jesu ukhuluma ngemifanekiso

(Mat. 13:34-35)

33Jesu abekhuluma kubantfu ngemifanekiso leminyenti lenjalo, abashumayela livi ngalokubalingene kutsi bakuve. 34Abengakhulumi lutfo angasebentisi imifanekiso, kantsi nase babodvwana nebafundzi bakhe, bona abebachazela konkhe.

Jesu ubindzisa sivunguvungu

(Mat. 8:23-27; Luk. 8:22-25)

35Kusihlwa ngalelo langa Jesu watjela bafundzi bakhe watsi: “Aseweleleni ngesheya kwelwandle.” 36Besuka basishiya sicumbi sebantfu, bahamba ngalesikebhe labekuso. Bekunaletinye tikebhe letatihambisana nalesabo. 37Kwesuka lesikhulu sivunguvungu, emagagasi angena esikebheni adzimate acishe asigcwalisa. 38Jesu abengemuva esikebheni, acamele emcamelweni, alele. Bamvusa batsi: “Mfundzisi, walala nje sifa?”

39Wavuka wekhuta lomoya watsi kulolwandle: “Thula, utsi nya!” Umoya wakhawula khona lapho, kwathula kwatsi nya. 40Watsi kubafundzi: “Nesabani kodvwa? Nentiwa yini lokutsi nibete kukholwa?”

41Bafikelwa kwesaba lokukhulu; kwaba ngulowo wabuta lomunye atsi: “Kantsi ngubani lona? Wekhuta umoya ngisho nelwandle kumlalele!”
