Bible Reading Plan – Day 336

₁Ukuqala kwevangeli likaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. ₂Njengokulotshwe kumprofethi u-Isaya ukuthi:

₉Kwathi ngaleyo mihla kwafika uJesu evela eNazaretha laseGalile, wabhapathizwa nguJohane eJordani. ₁₀Wanele ukukhuphuka emanzini, wabona izulu livuleka, noMoya ehlela phezu kwakhe njengejuba. ₁₁Kwavela izwi ezulwini, lithi: “Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; ngithokozile ngawe.”

₁₂Masinyane uMoya wayesemqhubela ehlane. ₁₃Wayekhona ehlane izinsuku ezingamashumi amane elingwa nguSathane; wayendawonye nezilwane; izingelosi zamkhonza.

₁₄Emva kokuboshwa kukaJohane uJesu wafika eGalile eshumayela ivangeli likaNkulunkulu, ₁₅wathi: “Isikhathi sigcwalisekile, umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele; phendukani, nikholwe yivangeli.”

₁₆Kwathi edlula ngaselwandle lwaseGalile, wabona oSimoni no-Andreya umfowabo kaSimoni bephonsa inetha elwandle, ngokuba babe ngabadobi. ₁₇UJesu wayesethi kubo: “Ngilandeleni; ngiyakunenza nibe ngabadobi babantu.” ₁₈Base bewashiya masinyane amanetha, bamlandela.

₁₉Eseqhubekile ingcosana wabona uJakobe kaZebedewu noJohane umfowabo besemkhunjini, belungisa amanetha. ₂₀Wababiza masinyane; base bemshiya uyise uZebedewu emkhunjini kanye nezisebenzi, bamlandela.

₂₁Bangena eKapernawume. Kwathi masinyane ngesabatha wangena esinagogeni,* wafundisa. ₂₂Bamangala ngokufundisa kwakhe; ngokuba wabafundisa njengonamandla, kungenjengababhali.

₂₃Kwakukhona-ke esinagogeni* umuntu onomoya ongcolileyo, wamemeza, ₂₄wathi: “Sinamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu waseNazaretha? Uze ukusibhubhisa na? Ngiyakwazi ukuba ungubani – ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu.”

₂₅UJesu wamkhuza wathi: “Thula, uphume kuye!” ₂₆Umoya ongcolileyo wamhlukumeza, wakhala ngezwi elikhulu, waphuma kuye.

₂₇Bethuka bonke, babuzana bodwa, bathi: “Kuyini lokhu? Yisifundiso esisha esinamandla; nawomoya abangcolileyo uyabayala, bamlalele.” ₂₈Udumo lwakhe lwase lwanda masinyane kuso sonke isifunda saseGalile.

₂₉Sebephume esinagogeni* bangena masinyane endlini kaSimoni no-Andreya, benoJakobe noJohane. ₃₀Umkhwekazi kaSimoni wayelele enomkhuhlane; bashesha bamtshela ngaye. ₃₁Waya kuye, wamlulamisa embamba ngesandla; umkhuhlane wamyeka, wabakhonza.

₃₂Kwathi ukuba kuhlwe, selishonile ilanga, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo nabakhwelwe ngamademoni. ₃₃Umuzi wonke wawubuthene ngasemnyango. ₃₄Waphulukisa abaningi abaphethwe yizifo ngezifo, wakhipha amademoni amaningi, wayengawavumeli amademoni ukukhuluma, ngokuba ayemazi.

₃₅Ekuseni kusemnyama kakhulu, wavuka waphuma, waya endaweni eyihlane, wakhuleka khona. ₃₆USimoni nababe naye bamlandela ngokuphuthuma. ₃₇Sebemfumene bathi kuye: “Bonke bayakufuna.”

₃₈Wathi kubo: “Masiye kwezinye izindawo emizaneni eseduze ukuba ngishumayele nakhona; ngokuba ngiphumele khona lokho.” ₃₉Wahamba eshumayela emasinagogeni* abo kulo lonke iGalile, ekhipha amademoni.

₄₀Kwafika kuye onochoko, wamncenga eguqa ngamadolo, ethi kuye: “Uma uthanda, ungangihlambulula.”

₄₁UJesu wamhawukela, welula isandla, wamphatha, wathi kuye: “Ngiyathanda; hlambuluka.” ₄₂Lwasuka masinyane uchoko kuye, wahlambuluka.

₄₃Esemyalisisile washesha wammukisa, ₄₄wathi kuye: “Bheka, ungasho lutho kumuntu, kepha hamba uzibonakalise kumpristi, unikele ngokuhlanjululwa kwakho lokho okwayalelwa nguMose, kube ngubufakazi kubo.” ₄₅Kepha yena esephumile waqala ukuyandisa kakhulu nokuyidumisa le ndaba, ngangokuba uJesu wayengasenakungena emzini obala; wayesehlala ngaphandle ezindaweni eziyihlane; beza kuye bevela nxazonke.

₁Wabuye wangena eKapernawume emva kwezinsuku ezithile; kwezwakala ukuthi usendlini. ₂Kwase kubuthana abaningi, akwabe kusabakho ndawo nangasemnyango; wakhuluma izwi kubo. ₃Beza kuye bethwele umuntu ofe uhlangothi, ephethwe ngabantu abane. ₄Bengenakusondela kuye ngenxa yesixuku baqaqa uphahla lapho ekhona, bathi sebebhobozile behlisa uhlaka alele kulo ofe uhlangothi. ₅UJesu ebona ukukholwa kwabo wathi kofe uhlangothi: “Ndodana, uthethelelwe izono zakho.”

₆Kepha kwakukhona ababhali abathile behlezi khona, bezindla ezinhliziyweni zabo ngokuthi: ₇“Lo ukhulumelani kanje na? Uyahlambalaza. Ngubani ongathethelela izono, kungeyena uNkulunkulu yedwa na?”

₈UJesu ekwazi masinyane emoyeni wakhe ukuthi bazindla kanjalo phakathi kwabo, wathi kubo: “Nizindlelani ngalokhu ezinhliziyweni zenu na? ₉Yikuphi okulula ukuthi kofe uhlangothi: ‘Uthethelelwe izono zakho,’ noma ukuthi: ‘Vuka, uthathe uhlaka lwakho, uhambe,’ na? ₁₀Kepha ukuze nazi ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu inamandla emhlabeni okuthethelela izono” – wathi kofe uhlangothi – ₁₁“ngithi kuwe: Vuka, uthathe uhlaka lwakho, uye endlini yakho.” ₁₂Wayesevuka, wathatha masinyane uhlaka lwakhe, waphuma phambi kwabo bonke, baze bamangala bonke, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, bathi: “Asizange sikubone okunje.”

₁₃Waphuma futhi, waya ngaselwandle; isixuku sonke sabantu seza kuye, wabafundisa. ₁₄Wathi edlula, wambona uLevi ka-Alfewu ehlezi endaweni yokuthela, wathi kuye: “Ngilandele.” Wasuka-ke, wamlandela.

₁₅Kwathi ehlezi ekudleni endlini yakhe, abathelisi abaningi nezoni bahlala noJesu nabafundi bakhe; ngokuba babe baningi, bamlandela. ₁₆Khona ababhali babaFarisi bembona edla nezoni nabathelisi bathi kubafundi bakhe: “Yini ukuba adle nabathelisi nezoni na?”

₁₇UJesu ekuzwa lokho wathi kubo: “Abaphilileyo abadingi inyanga, ngabagulayo bodwa; kangizelanga ukubiza abalungileyo kodwa izoni.”

₁₈Abafundi bakaJohane nabaFarisi babezila ukudla; beza bathi kuye: “Yini ukuba abafundi bakaJohane nabafundi babaFarisi bazile ukudla, kodwa abafundi bakho bangazili na?”

₁₉UJesu wathi kubo: “Abayeni bangazila yini, umyeni esenabo na? Bese naye umyeni bangezile. ₂₀Kodwa zizakufika izinsuku, lapho umyeni ezakususwa kubo; yikhona-ke bezakuzila ngalolo suku. ₂₁Akakho othungela isiziba esingakashukeki engutsheni endala, funa okusha okubekelwayo kuklebhule kwendala, kwande ukuklebhuka. ₂₂Futhi akakho othela iwayini elisha ezimvabeni ezindala, funa iwayini liqhumise izimvaba, lichitheke iwayini, nezimvaba zonakale; kodwa iwayini elisha lithelwa ezimvabeni ezintsha.”

₂₃Kwathi edabula amasimu ngesabatha, abafundi bakhe baqala ukukha izikhwebu behamba. ₂₄Base bethi kuye abaFarisi: “Bheka, bakwenzelani ngesabatha okungavunyelwe na?”

₂₅Wathi kubo: “Anizange nifunde yini akwenzayo uDavide mhla eswele, elambile yena nababe naye ₂₆ukuthi wangena endlini kaNkulunkulu enkathini ka-Abiyathara umpristi omkhulu, wadla izinkwa zokubukwa ezingavunyelwe ukudliwa muntu, ngabapristi bodwa, wanika nababe naye, na?”

₂₇Wayesethi kubo: “Isabatha lenzelwa umuntu, umuntu akenzelwanga isabatha. ₂₈Ngokunjalo iNdodana yomuntu iyinkosi neyesabatha.”

₁Khona wabuye wangena esinagogeni.* Kwakukhona lapho umuntu onesandla esishwabeneyo. ₂Bamqaphela ukuba uzakumphilisa yini ngesabatha, ukuze bambeke icala. ₃Wathi kumuntu onesandla esishwabeneyo: “Sukuma, ume phakathi.”

₄Wayesethi kubo: “Kuvunyelwe ngesabatha ukwenza okuhle noma okubi yini, ukusindisa umuntu noma ukumbulala na?” Kepha bathula.

₅Waqalaza ebabuka ngokuthukuthela, edabukile ngobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo; wayesethi kulowo muntu: “Yelula isandla.” Waselula, saphiliswa isandla sakhe. ₆AbaFarisi base bephuma masinyane bacebisana ngaye nabakaHerode ukuthi bangambhubhisa kanjani.

₇UJesu wasuka kanye nabafundi bakhe, waya ngaselwandle; isixuku esikhulu samlandela sivela eGalile, naseJudiya, ₈naseJerusalema, nase-Idumiya, nangaphesheya kweJordani, nangaseTire, naseSidoni; isixuku esikhulu sesizwile konke akwenzayo seza kuye. ₉Wayeseyala abafundi bakhe ukuba isikebhe simlindele ngenxa yesixuku sabantu, ukuze bangamcindezeli, ₁₀ngokuba wayephulukisa abaningi, kwaze kwathi bonke abanezifo bawela phezu kwakhe ukuba bamnamathe. ₁₁Nawomoya abangcolileyo bathi ukuba bambone, bawa phansi phambi kwakhe, bamemeza bathi: “Wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.” ₁₂Wabayalisisa ukuba bangamzwakalisi.

₁₃Wayesenyukela entabeni, wabizela kuye abebafuna yena; beza kuye. ₁₄Wamisa abayishumi nambili ukuba babe naye nokuba abathume baye kushumayela, ₁₅babe namandla okukhipha amademoni. ₁₆Wayesemisa laba abayishumi nambili: uSimoni owamqamba igama lokuthi uPetru, ₁₇noJakobe kaZebedewu, noJohane umfowabo kaJakobe; laba wabaqamba igama lokuthi oBowanergesi okungukuthi amadodana okuduma; ₁₈no-Andreya, noFiliphu, noBartolomewu, noMathewu, noTomase, noJakobe ka-Alfewu, noThadewu, noSimoni umKhanani, ₁₉noJuda Iskariyothe owamkhaphelayo.

₂₀Wayesefika ekhaya; isixuku sabuthana futhi, ababe besaba nathuba lokudla nasinkwa. ₂₁Abakubo sebekuzwile baphuma ukuyombamba, ngokuba bathi uyahlanya.

₂₂Nababhali abehla bevela eJerusalema bathi: “UnoBelzebule, ukhipha amademoni ngombusi wamademoni.”

₂₃Wayesebabiza, wakhuluma kubo ngemifanekiso, ethi: “USathane angakhipha kanjani uSathane na? ₂₄Uma umbuso wahlukene wodwa, lowo mbuso ungeme. ₂₅Nendlu, uma yahlukene yodwa, leyo ndlu ayizukuma. ₂₆NoSathane, uma ezivukela yena, ahlukane, akanakuma, kepha uyaphela. ₂₇Yebo, akakho ongangena endlini yesiqhwaga, aphange impahla yaso, uma engabophi kuqala isiqhwaga, andukuba aphange indlu yaso. ₂₈Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Abantwana babantu bayakuthethelelwa izono zonke nokuhlambalaza noma kungakanani abangahlambalaza ngakho, ₂₉kepha lowo ohlambalaza uMoya oNgcwele kanakuthethelelwa naphakade, kodwa unecala lesono esingapheliyo.” ₃₀Ngokuba bathi unomoya ongcolileyo.

₃₁Kwase kufika unina nabafowabo, bema ngaphandle, bathumela kuye bembiza. ₃₂Isixuku sabantu sasimphahlile; bathi kuye: “Bheka, unyoko nabafowenu nawodadewenu bangaphandle bekufuna.”

₃₃Wabaphendula wathi: “Ngubani umame nabafowethu na?”

₃₄Waqalaza ebuka ababehlezi bemphahlile, wathi: “Bhekani, nangu umame nabafowethu. ₃₅Ngokuba owenza intando kaNkulunkulu nguye ongumfowethu nodadewethu nomame.”
