Mathewu 20

¹ Ngokuba umbuso wezulu ufana nomuntu ongumninindlu, owaphuma ekuseni ukuyoqasha izisebenzi esivinini sakhe.

² Esevumelene nezisebenzi ngodenariyu ngosuku, wazithumela esivinini sakhe.

³ Waphuma ngehora lesithathu, wabona abanye bemi esigcawini, bengenzi lutho;

⁴ Wasesithi kubo; Yanini nani esivinini, futhi ngizoninika noma yini efanele. Bahamba-ke.

⁵ Wabuya waphuma futhi ngehora lesithupha nelesishiyagalolunye, wenza njalo.

⁶ Kwathi sekungaba lihola letshumi lanye waphuma, wafica abanye bemi bengenzi lutho, wathi kubo: Limeleni lapha usuku lonke lingenzi lutho?

⁷ Bathi kuye: Ngoba akukho muntu osiqashile. Wathi kubo: Hambani nani, niye esivinini; futhi noma yini efanele, lokho niyokwamukela.

⁸ Kwathi sekuhlwile, umninisivini wathi enduneni yakhe: Biza izisebenzi, uzinike inkokhelo yazo, uqale ngezokugcina kuze kube ngezokuqala.

⁹ Kwathi befika abaqashiwe ngehora leshumi nanye, bamukela kwaba yilowo nalowo udenariyu.

¹⁰ Kodwa sebefikile abokuqala, bacabanga ukuthi bazakwemukela okwengeziwe; bamukela kwaba yilowo nalowo udenariyo,

¹¹ Sebelamukele bakhonona kumninindlu.

¹² Besithi: Laba bokugcina basebenze ihola elilodwa, usubalinganisile lathi esithwele ubunzima lokushisa kwemini.

¹³ Kodwa waphendula wathi komunye wabo: Mngane, angikoni;

¹⁴ Thatha okwakho, uhambe;

¹⁵ Angivunyelwa yini ukwenza engikuthandayo ngokungokwami? Iso lakho libi, ngokuba mina ngimuhle?

¹⁶ Kanjalo abokugcina bayakuba ngabokuqala, nabokuqala babe ngabokugcina, ngokuba baningi ababiziweyo, kepha bayingcosana abakhethiweyo.

¹⁷ Kwathi uJesu ekhuphukela eJerusalema wathatha abafundi abayishumi nambili ngasese endleleni, wathi kubo:

¹⁸ Bheka, sikhuphukela eJerusalema; njalo iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa kubapristi abakhulu lababhali, njalo bazayigwebela ukufa.

¹⁹ Bazamnikela kwabezizwe ukuthi baklolodelwe, babhaxabule, bambethele esiphambanweni, njalo ngosuku lwesithathu izabuya ivuke.

²⁰ Kwase kufika kuye unina wamadodana kaZebedewu namadodana akhe, wakhuleka, ecela into kuye.

²¹ Wathi kuye: “Ufunani na? Wathi kuye: Vumela lawa madodana ami amabili ahlale, enye ngakwesokunene sakho, nenye ngakwesokhohlo, embusweni wakho.

²² Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi: Kalikwazi enikucelayo. Ningakwazi yini ukuyiphuza indebe engizoyiphuza mina, futhi nibhapathizwe ngobhapathizo engibhapathizwa ngalo na? Bathi kuye: Singakwenza.

²³ Wathi kubo: “Impela nizakuphuza indebe yami, nibhapathizwe ngombhapathizo engibhapathizwa ngawo mina; kulabo abakulungiselweyo nguBaba.

²⁴ Kwathi abayishumi bekuzwa bazithukuthelela izelamani ezimbili.

²⁵ Kepha uJesu wababizela kuye, wathi: “Niyazi ukuthi ababusi bezizwe babusa phezu kwazo, nezikhulu zazo ziphethe amandla phezu kwazo.

²⁶ Kodwa kungabi njalo phakathi kwenu, kodwa loba ngubani ofuna ukuba mkhulu phakathi kwenu kabe yisikhonzi senu;

²⁷ Njalo loba ngubani ofuna ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu kabe yinceku yenu;

²⁸ njengalokhu iNdodana yomuntu ingezanga ukukhonzwa, kodwa ukukhonza, nokunikela ukuphila kwayo, kube yisihlengo sabaningi.

²⁹ Kwathi sebephuma eJeriko, ixuku elikhulu lamlandela.

³⁰ Bheka, izimpumputhe ezimbili zihlezi ngasendleleni, zizwa ukuthi uJesu uyadlula, zamemeza, zathi: “Sihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavide!

³¹ Isixuku sabakhuza ukuba bathule; kepha bamemeza kakhulu, bathi: “Sihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavide!

³² UJesu wema, wawabiza, wathi: Nithanda ukuba nginenzeleni na?

³³ Bathi kuye: Nkosi, ukuze amehlo ethu avulwe.

³⁴ UJesu waba nesihe ngazo, wathinta amehlo azo; zase zibona masinyane, zamlandela.
