1Kwatsi baFarisi netati temtsetfo beta kuJesu besuka eJerusalema, bambuta batsi: 2“Kwentiwa yini kutsi bafundzi bakho bangalihloniphi lisiko lalabadzala? Ngobe abatigezi tandla tabo ngendlela lefanele nase batakudla.”
3Kepha yena waphendvula watsi: “Nine nentiwa yini kutsi ningawuhloniphi umtsetfo waNkulunkulu ngenca yemasiko enu? 4Ngobe Nkulunkulu watsi: ‘Hlonipha uyihlo nenyoko,’ nekutsi: ‘Wonkhe lokhuluma kabi ngeyise nome ngenina, ufanele afe nekufa.’ 5Kepha nine nifundzisa nitsi: ‘Nangabe umuntfu atjela uyise nome unina atsi: “Loko lengabe ukutfole kimi, sekunikelwe kuNkulunkulu,” 6akusadzingeki kumhlonipha uyise nome unina.’ Kanjalo nilente laba lite livi laNkulunkulu, nase nilandzela emasiko enu. 7Batentisi, waphrofetha kahle ngani Isaya nakatsi:
8“ ‘Lesive singidvumisa ngetindzebe temlomo,
kepha inhlitiyo yaso ikhashane nami,’
kusho iNkhosi.
9‘Bangikhonta ngelite,
ngobe bafundzisa imitsetfo
leshaywe bantfu
bente shangatsi iphuma kimi.’ ”
Tintfo letenta umuntfu angcole
10Jesu wase uyababita bantfu watsi: “Lalelani, nive kahle! 11Akusiko lokungena emloyeni lokumngcolisako umuntfu, kodvwa ngulokuphuma emlonyeni loku lokumngcolisako.”
12Bafundzi bakhe beta kuye batsi: “Uyati yini kutsi loku lokushito kubaphatse kabi emoyeni baFarisi?”
13Jesu waphendvula watsi: “Sonkhe sitfombo lesingazange sihlanyelwe nguBabe losezulwini siyawuzishunwa. 14Bayekeleni, ngobe ngibo baholi labatimphumphutse; kepha nangabe imphumphutse ihola lenye imphumphutse, totimbili tiyawuwela emgodzini.”
15Phetro waphendvula watsi: “Sitjele kutsi usho kutsini lomfanekiso!”
16Watsi yena: “Hhawu, kantsi nani nisengakabi nakuva? 17Anikaboni nanyalo kutsi konkhe lokungena ngemlomo kuya esiswini, nakhona kufike kwendlule kuphindze kuphume? 18Kodvwa loko lokuphuma ngemlomo kusuke kusuka enhlitiyweni, futsi nguko lokumngcolisako umuntfu. 19Ngobe enhlitiyweni kuvela imicabango lemibi, nekubulala, nekuphinga, nebugwadla, nekuba, nekucalemanga, nekuhlambalata. 20Nguleto-ke tintfo letimngcolisako umuntfu, kodvwa kudla ngetandla letingakagezwa akumngcolisi umuntfu.”
Kukholwa kwemfati longumKhenani
21Jesu wesuka lapho, waya etindzaweni tangaseThire naseSidoni. 22Umfati labengumKhenani wakuyo leyo ndzawo weta kuJesu akhala atsi: “Ngihawukele, Nkhosi! Ndvodzana yaDavide! Indvodzakati yami iphetfwe lidimoni kabi.”
23Kodvwa Jesu akazange amphendvule. Bafundzi bakhe base basondzela kuye batsi: “Mcoshe lomfati! Ngobe nangu solomane uyasilandzela uyakhala.”
24Jesu waphendvula watsi: “Angikatfunyelwa kulomunye umuntfu, kuphela etimvini letilahlekile letingema-Israyeli.”
25Kepha lomfati wasondzela, waguca embikwakhe, watsi: “Nkhosi, ngisite!”
26Jesu wamphendvula watsi: “Akukalungi kutsi kudla kwebantfwana kulahlwe etinjeni.”
27Umfati waphendvula watsi: “Yebo, Nkhosi, ucinisile, kodvwa netinja tiyawatfola emavutfuluka lasele kubanikati bato.”
28Ngako Jesu wamphendvula watsi: “Awu, make, kukholwa kwakho kukhulu! Akwenteke kuwe njengekufisa kwakho!” Indvodzakati yakhe yasindza ngaleso sikhatsi.
Jesu uphilisa bantfu labanyenti
29Jesu wesuka lapho, waya ngaseLwandle lwaseGalile. Wenyukela entsabeni, wefika wahlala phansi. 30Ticumbi letikhulu teta kuye, tiletse tinchute netingini, netimphumphutse, netimungulu, netigulane letinyenti. Tabekwa embikwakhe; watiphilisa tonkhe. 31Ngako ticumbi tamangala natibona timungulu tikhuluma, tingini tiphelele, tinchute tihamba, netimphumphutse tibona; tase tidvumisa Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli.
Jesu wesutsisa sicumbi lesinemadvodza lati-4 000
32Jesu wabita bafundzi bakhe watsi: “Ngiyabadzabukela labantfu, ngobe sengemalanga lamatsatfu banatsi lapha, bangenalutfo labangahle baludle. Angitsandzi kubahambisa balambile, funa bacaleke endleleni.”
33Bafundzi bakhe batsi kuye: “Konje lapha ehlane singakutfolaphi nje kudla lokungenela lesicumbi sebantfu lesingaka?”
34Jesu wababuta watsi: “Ninetinkhwa letingakhi?”
Baphendvula batsi: “Sinetinkhwa letisikhombisa netinhlanti letimbalwa.”
35Jesu wase utjela lesicumbi sebantfu kutsi asihlale phansi. 36Watsatsa letinkhwa letisikhombisa netinhlanti, wabonga, watihlephula watinika bafundzi, bona banika bantfu. 37Badla bonkhe, besutsa. Bafundzi babutsa timvutfuluka letatisele nabadlako, bagcwalisa emabhasikidi lasikhombisa.
38Bantfu labadla lapho kwakungemadvodza lati-4 000 ngaphandle kwebafati nebantfwana.
39Kwatsi Jesu nasatihambisile leticumbi tebantfu, wangena esikebheni, wewelela ngesheya eveni laseMagadani.
