Chapter 15

1 Bafike oko kuYesu abaseYerusalem ababhali nabaFarisi, besithi,
2 Kungani na ukuba abafundi bakho basigqithe isithethe samanyange? Kuba abazihlambi izandla zabo, xa badla isonka.
3 Waphendula ke yena wathi kubo, Nani, kungani na ukuba niwugqithe umthetho kaThixo ngenxa yesithethe senu?
4 Kuba uThixo wawisa umthetho, esithi, Mbeke uyihlo nonyoko; wathi kanjalo, Omthethela okubi uyise nokuba ingunina, makafe ukufa.
5 Ke nina nithi, Othe kuyise nokuba kukunina, Iselingumnikelo kuThixo, into onge uba uncedwa ngayo ndim, ukholisile: akasayi kuba sambeka uyise nokuba ngunina.
6 Niwuphangile ke igunya umthetho kaThixo ngenxa yesithethe senu.
7 Bahanahanisindini, watyapha ukuprofeta ngani uIsaya, esithi,
8 Aba bantu basondela kum ngomlomo wabo, Bandibeke ngemilebe yomlomo wabo; Kanti intliziyo yabo ikude lee kum;
9 Bafumana ke bendihlonela, Befundisa iimfundiso eziyimithetho yabantu.
10 Wayibizela kuye indimbane, wathi kubo, Phulaphulani, niqonde.
11 Asikokungena emlonyeni okumenza inqambi umntu; ke okuphuma emlonyeni, kuko oko okumenza inqambi umntu.
12 Beza abafundi bakhe bathi kuye, Uyazi na ukuba abaFarisi bathe bakuliva elo zwi bakhubeka?
13 Waphendula ke wathi, Zonke izityalo ezingatyalwanga nguBawo wasemazulwini ziya kuncothulwa.
14 Bayekeni; ngabakhokeli beemfama abakwaziimfama; ke kaloku, xa sukuba imfama ikhokela imfama, zombini ziya kweyela emhadini.
15 Waphendula ke uPetros wathi kuye, Sixelele lo mzekeliso.
16 Wathi ke yena uYesu, Anikabi nakuqonda na nani nangoku?
17 Anikaqiqi na, ukuba konke okungena emlonyeni kusinga esiswini, ize kulahlelwe endaweni esese?
18 Ke zona izinto eziphuma emlonyeni, ziphuma kuyo intliziyo; zizo ezo ezimenza inqambi umntu.
19 Kuba kuyo intliziyo kuphuma izicamango ezingendawo, ookubulala, ookukrexeza, oomibulo, oobusela, ookungqina ubuxoki, ookunyelisa.
20 Zizo ezo izinto ezimenza inqambi umntu; kodwa kona ukudla ngezandla ezingahlanjwanga akumenzi nqambi umntu.
21 Ephumile khona apho, uYesu wasinga kwimida yaseTire neTsidon.
22 Kwathi thu umKananekazi evela kuloo mida, ekhala esithi, Ndenzele inceba, Nkosi, nyana kaDavide; intombi yam iphethwe yidemon kakubi. Akamphendula ke nelizwi eli.
23 Beza abafundi bakhe, bamcela besithi, Mndulule, ngokuba usilandela ekhala.
24 Waphendula ke yena wathi, Ndithunywe kwizimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaSirayeli zodwa.
25 Weza ke waqubuda kuye, esithi, Nkosi, ndisize.
26 Uphendule ke wathi, Asinto intle ukusithabatha isonka sabantwana, siphoswe ezinjaneni.
27 Wathi ke yena, Ewe, Nkosi; kuba neenjana zidla kwiimvuthuluka eziwa etafileni yabaninizo.
28 Waza ke waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Mfazi, lukhulu ukholo lwakho; makwenzeke kuwe njengokuthanda kwakho. Yaphiliswa intombi yakhe kwangelo lixa.
29 Esukile apho, uYesu weza ngaselwandle lwaseGalili, wenyuka intaba, wahlala phantsi khona.
30 Kweza kuye izihlwele ezininzi, zinazo iziqhwala, iimfama, izidenge, izilima, nabanye abaninzi, zababeka phantsi ezinyaweni zikaYesu; wabaphilisa;
31 zada zamangaliswa izihlwele ezo, zakubona izidenge zithetha, izilima ziphilile, iziqhwala zihamba, neemfama zibona; zamzukisa uThixo kaSirayeli.
32 Ebabizele ke kuye uYesu abafundi bakhe, wathi, Ndisikwa yimfesane ngenxa yezihlwele, ngokuba sekuntsuku ntathu behleli nam, bengenanto bangayidlayo; ukuthi ke ndibandulule bengadlanga andikuthandi, hleze batyhafe endleleni.
33 Bathi kuye abafundi bakhe, Sozizuza phi na entlango apha izonka ezingade zihluthise izihlwele ezingakanana?
34 Athi kubo uYesu, Zingaphi na izonka eninazo? Bathi ke bona, Zisixhenxe, neentlanzana ezimbalwa.
35 Wathi kwizihlwele mazihlale phantsi emhlabeni.
36 Wazithabatha ke izonka zosixhenxe neentlanzi, wabulela, waqhekeza, wanika abafundi bakhe, abafundi ke banika izihlwele.
37 Badla bonke bahlutha; basusa amaqhekeza aseleyo, iingobozi zasixhenxe zizele.
38 Ke kaloku abo babesidla babengamawaka amane amadoda, ngaphandle kwabafazi nabantwana.
39 Ezindulule izihlwele, wangena emkhombeni, weza emacaleni aseMagadala.
