Mat 20 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

Umfanekiso wezisebenzi zesivini

1Umbuso wezulu ufana lomnumzana owaphuma ekuseni ukuqatsha izisebenzi ziye esivinini sakhe.

2Esevumelene lezisebenzi ngemadlana yosuku, wazithumela esivinini sakhe.

3Waphuma ngeawa yesificamunwemunye ekuseni, wabona abanye bemi emdangeni bengelamsebenzi;

4lakubo wathi: Yanini lani esivinini; lokho okufaneleyo ngizakulinika khona.

5Bahambake. Wabuya waphuma emini langeawa yesithathu ntambama, wenza njalo.

6Ngeawa yesihlanu ntambama waphuma, wafumana abanye bemi, wathi kibo: Limeleni lapha usuku lonke lingenzi lutho na?

7Bathi kuye: Ngoba kasiqatshwanga muntu. Wathi kubo: Yanini lani esivinini.

8Kwathi selitshonile, umninisivini wathi enduneni yakhe: Biza izisebenzi, uzikhokhele imali yazo, uqale ngezokucina ucine ngezokuqala.UJesu ukhuluma ngokuhlupheka kwakhe(Mark 10:32–34; Luka 18:31–34)

17Kwathi uJesu esezakwenyukela eJerusalema, wathatha abalitshumi lambili wahamba labo bodwa; besesendleleni, wathi kibo:

18Khangelani, siyenyukela eJerusalema; iNdodana yomuntu izakunikelwa kubapristi abakhulu lakubabhali; bazakuyigwebela ukufa,

19bayinikele kwabezizwe ukuba iyangiswe, itshaywe, ibethelwe; kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu izakuvuswa ekufeni.

UJesu ukhuza amadodana kaZebediya(Mark 10:35–40)

20Kweza kuye unina wamadodana kaZebediya kanye lamadodana akhe; waguqa phambi kwakhe, wacela ulutho kuye.

21UJesu wathi kuye: Ufunani na? Wathi kuye: Tshono ukuba lamadodana ami amabili ahlale, enye ngakwesokunene sakho lenye ngakwesokhohlo sakho embusweni wakho.

22Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi: Kalikwazi elikucelayo. Linganatha yini inkezo engizakuyinatha na? Bathi kuye: Singakwenza.

23Wathi kibo: Impela, lizakuyinatha inkezo yami, kodwa ukuhlala ngakwesokunene sami langakwesokhohlo sami, kayisikho kwami ukuphana ngakho, kodwa kungokwalabo abakulungiselweyo nguBaba.

Ubukhulu obuqotho(Mark 10:41–45; Luka 22:24–27)

24Kwathi sebekuzwile lokhu abalitshumi, bazithukuthelela izelamani ezimbili.

25Kodwa uJesu wababiza, wathi: Liyazi ukuthi ababusi bezizwe bazibusa ngokulukhuni, lezikhulu zabo zisebenzisa amandla phezu kwazo.Luka 22:25, 26

26Kakunjalo phakathi kwenu, kodwa yilowo othanda ukuba ngomkhulu phakathi kwenu, kabe ngumfokazi wenu;Mat 23:11; Mark 9:35; Luka 22:26

27lalowo othanda ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu kabe yinceku yenu,

28njengalokhu iNdodana yomuntu kayizanga ukukhonzwa, kodwa ukukhonza lokunika ukuphila kwayo, kube lihlawulo labanengi.

UJesu usilisa iziphofu ezimbili(Mark 10:46–52; Luka 18:35–43)

29Kwathi bephuma eJeriko, ixuku elikhulu lamlandela.

30Iziphofu ezimbili zazihlezi ngasendleleni; sezizwile ukuthi uJesu uyadlula, zamemeza zathi: Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavida, sihawukele!

31Ixuku lazikhuza ukuba zithule, kodwa zamemeza kakhulu, zisithi: Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavida, sihawukele!

32UJesu wasesima, wazibiza, wathi: Lifuna ukuba ngilenzeleni na?

33Zathi kuye: Nkosi, sifuna ukuba amehlo ethu avuleke.

34UJesu wazihawukela, wathinta amehlo azo; zasezibona masinyane, zamlandela.
