Ngokuya NgoMatewu 9:1-38
9 UJesu wakhwela ngesikepeni, wayamela ngaphetjheya waya edorobheni+ ebekahlala kilo.
2 Yeke, abantu baletha kuye indoda erholopheleko bayilalise emkghadini.* Uthe nakabona ukukholwa kwabo, uJesu wathi korholopheleko: “Ungasabi ndodana! Izono zakho zilitjalelwe.”+
3 Nje-ke, abanye abatloli bakhuluma bodwa bathi: “Umrhali lo uyahlambalaza.”
4 UJesu azi bona bacabangani, wathi kibo: “Kubayini nicabanga izinto ezimbi eenhliziyweni zenu?+
5 Khenitjho, ngikuphi okulula ukuthi, ‘Izono zakho zilitjalelwe,’ namkha ukuthi, ‘Vuka ukhambe’?+
6 Nokho, bona nazi ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu inamandla wokulibalela izono ephasini,” wathi endodeni erholopheleko: “Vuka, uthathe umkghadakho, ukhambe uye ekhaya.”+
7 Yavuka yaya ekhaya.
8 Kuthe iinqubuthu nazibona lokhu, zarhidlwa livalo, zadumisa uZimu, onikele abantu amandla anjalo.
9 Nakasuka lapho, uJesu wabona indoda okuthiwa nguMatewu ihlezi e-ofisini lomthelo, wathi kiyo: “Ngilandela.” Khonokho yasikima yamlandela.+
10 Kamva uJesu nakangendlini asadla, kwafika abathelisi abanengi nezoni badla naye nabafundi bakhe.+
11 Nababona lokhu, abaFarisi bathi ebafundini bakhe: “Kubayini umfundisenu adla nabathelisi nezoni?”+
12 UJesu nakezwa lokhu, wathi: “Abantu abaphilileko abamtlhogi udorhodere kodwana ngabagulako abamtlhogako.+
13 Khambani-ke, niyokufunda bona lokhu kutjho ukuthini: ‘Ngifuna umusa, ingasi umhlatjelo.’+ Ngombana angikazeli ukubiza abantu abalungileko kodwana ngizele ukubiza izoni.”
14 Ngemva kwalokho abafundi bakaJwanisi beza kuye bambuza bathi: “Kubayini thina nabaFarisi sizila ukudla kodwana abafundi bakho bangazili?”+
15 UJesu wathi kibo: “Abangani bomkhwenyana abanalo ibanga lokuzila ukudla umkhwenyana+ nakasesenabo, akusinjalo? Kodwana kuzokufika isikhathi lapho umkhwenyana azokuthathwa kibo,+ kungesikhatheso-ke bazokuzila.
16 Akakho othungela ipetjhi yetjhila elitjha esambathweni esidala, ngombana itjhila elitjha lizokudosa isambatho bese kuvuleka itjhuba elidlula lekuthomeni.+
17 Nabantu abalitheli iwayini elitjha ngeenkhwanyeni* zewayini ezidala. Ngombana nabangalithela, iinkhwama zizokurathuka zonakale newayini lithuluke. Kodwana abantu bathela iwayini elitjha ngeenkhwanyeni zewayini ezitjha, bese kokubili kuyabulungeka.”
18 Asatjho lokho, kwafika umbusi othileko waguqa phambi kwakhe wathi: “Njenganje indodakazami kungenzeka seyihlongakele, ngibawa uzokubeka isandla sakho phezu kwayo, izakuvuka.”+
19 UJesu nabafundi bakhe basikima bamlandela.
20 Kusesenjalo, umfazi obesekuminyaka eli-12 aphethwe bulwele bokuphopha iingazi,+ weza ngemva kwakaJesu wakghwatha umphetho wesambatho sakhe sangaphandle,+
21 ngombana bekasolo athi ehliziywenakhe: “Nangingakghwatha isambatho sakhe sangaphandle nje kwaphela, ngizokuphola.”
22 UJesu wajika wamqala, wathi: “Ungasabi ndodakazi! Ukukholwa kwakho kukupholisile.”+ Khonokho umfazi lo walapheka.+
23 Nakafika emzini wombusi, abona abadlali befuludi nesiqubuthu sirhidla isililo,+
24 uJesu wathi kibo: “Phumani ngendlini ngombana umntazanyana akakahlongakali kodwana ulele.”+ Nabezwa lokho bamhleka ubudlhadlha.
25 Msinyana ngemva kokobana isiqubuthu siphumile, uJesu wangena lapho umntazanyana bekakhona, wambamba ngesandla,+ umntazanyana wavuka.+
26 Indaba le yarhatjheka kiso soke isifundeso.
27 UJesu nakasuka lapho, walandelwa madoda amabili aziimphofu,+ arhuwelela athi: “Ndodana kaDavida, sirhawukela.”
28 Ngemva kobana uJesu angene ngendlini, amadoda aziimphofu la eza kuye, wawabuza wathi: “Niyakholwa na ukuthi nginganenza nibone?”+ Amphendula athi: “Iye Kosi, siyakholwa.”
29 Wathinta amehlwawo,+ wathi: “Akwenzeke njengokukholwa kwenu.”
30 Amehlwawo avuleka. UJesu wawayelelisa khulu wathi: “Ningathomi niyikhulume indaba le!”+
31 Kodwana ngemva kokuphumela ngaphandle, akhuluma ngalokho uJesu akwenze kiwo kiso soke isifundeso.
32 Kuthe amadoda la nakasuka lapho, abantu baletha kuJesu umuntu obekasimumu begodu anedimoni;+
33 ngemva kokuqotha idimoni, isimumweso sathoma ukukhuluma.+ Isiqubuthu sarareka sathi: “Siyathoma ukubona into enjengale kwa-Israyeli.”+
34 Kodwana abaFarisi bathi: “Uqotha amadimoni ngombusi wamadimoni.”+
35 UJesu wakhamba woke amadorobho nezabelo, afundisa emasinagogeni, atjhumayela iindaba ezimnandi zomBuso kaZimu, alapha nayo yoke imihlobo yamalwele.+
36 Uthe nakabona iinqubuthu,+ wazirhawukela, ngombana bezihlukumezekile, zilahliwe njengezimvu ezinganamelusi.+
37 Wathi ebafundini bakhe: “Kwamambala, isivuno sikhulu, kodwana iinsebenzi zimbalwa.+
38 Ngalokho-ke, bawani iKosi yesivuno bona ithumele iinsebenzi esivunweni sayo.”+
