Makho 9 - Siswati 1996 Bible

¹ Jesu waphindza watsi: “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Bakhona labeme lapha emkhatsini wenu labangayikubona kufa bangakaboni Nkulunkulu abusa ngemandla.”

Kugucuka kwesimo saJesu

² Emvakwemalanga lasitfupha Jesu watsatsa boPhetro, naJakobe, naJohane, wenyukela nabo entsabeni lendze, baba bodvwana. Wagucuka lesinye simo bambukile.

³ Tingubo takhe tacwebetela taba mhlophe nke, kwakungekho muntfu emhlabeni jikelele labengatenta tibe mhlophe njengato.

⁴ Kwabonakala kubo bo-Elija banaMosi, bakhuluma naJesu.

⁵ Phetro watsi kuJesu: “Mfundzisi, kuhle lokutsi sibe lapha. Asakhe emathende lamatsatfu, linye litawuba lakho, lelinye libe laMosi, lelinye libe la-Elija.”

⁶ Phela loko wakusho angasati kutsi utsini, ngobe base bafile luvalo.

⁷ Kwefika lifu labambonya, kwevakala livi liphuma efini litsi: “Lena yiNdvodzana yami letsandzekako, yilaleleni.”

⁸ Batsi batsi cala cala, bangete babona muntfu ngaphandle kwaJesu yedvwa.

⁹ Basehla entsabeni Jesu wabayala kutsi bangacali batjele muntfu ngaloku labakubonile, iNdvodzana yeMuntfu ingakavuswa kulabafile.

¹⁰ Nangempela basigcina leseluleko, kodvwa babutana bodvwa batsi: “Kusho kutsini ‘kuvuka kulabafile’?”

¹¹ Bambuta batsi: “Tisho ngani tati temtsetfo lokutsi: ‘Kufanele kufike Elija kucala’?”

¹² Jesu wabaphendvula watsi: “Vele, Elija uyabuya kutawubuyisela tonkhe tintfo ngabolonina. Pho, isho kutsini imiBhalo nayitsi iNdvodzana yeMuntfu ifanele kuhlushwa ngetintfo letinyenti, yedzelelwe?

¹³ Kodvwa ngiyanitjela ngitsi: Elija sewefika, noko bantfu benta kuye konkhe labakutsandzako, njengaloku kubhaliwe ngaye.”

Kuphiliswa kwemfana lonemoya lomubi

¹⁴ Batsi nabefika kubafundzi labanye, bakhandza sicumbi lesikhulu sibakakile netati temtsetfo tiphikisana nabo.

¹⁵ Masinyane nje sicuku satsi kube simbone Jesu, samangala kakhulu, sagijima saya kuye sayawumbingelela.

¹⁶ Wababuta watsi: “Niphikisana ngani nabo?”

¹⁷ Lomunye kulesicuku watsi kuye: “Mfundzisi, ngiletse nansi indvodzana yami kuwe, ngobe inelidimoni lelisimungulu.

¹⁸ Litsi lingambamba limlahle phansi, limkliklitise, akhihlite emagwebu, abhashe ematinyo, ome atsi nkhwa. Ngicele labafundzi bakho kutsi balikhiphe, kodvwa behlulekile.”

¹⁹ Wabaphendvula watsi: “Awu, situkulwane lesingakholwa, kuyawudzimate kube ngunini nginani? Kuyawudzimate kube ngunini nginibeketelela? Mletseni la kimi!”

²⁰ Bamletsa kuJesu lomfana. Lanelela kumbona nje lelidimoni, lamlahla phansi umfana, lamekhama, washumpha aphukuhla emagwebu emlonyeni.

²¹ Jesu wabuta uyise walomfana watsi: “Selinesikhatsi lesingakanani limphetse?” Uyise wamphendvula watsi: “Kusukela ebuntfwaneni bakhe.

²² Belihle limjika nasemlilweni, nasemantini, lifuna kumbulala. Kodvwa nakukhona longakwenta, mane usihawukele usisite.”

²³ Jesu watsi kuye: “Utsi: ‘Nakukhona longakwenta.’ Phela konkhe kuyenteka kulowo lokholwako.”

²⁴ Masinyane uyise walomfana wakhala amemeta atsi: “Ngiyakholwa, sita kungakholwa kwami.”

²⁵ Jesu watsi kube abone sicumbi sibutsana, wawekhuta lomoya lomubi watsi: “Moya webumungulu nebuhhulu! Ngiyakutjela ngitsi: Phuma kuye! Ungaphindzi futsi ubuye kuye!”

²⁶ Lidimoni latswilila, lamhlukumeta kamatima lomfana, laphuma kuye. Lomfana walala watsi dzalakaca, wafanana nesidvumbu. Labanyenti babo badzimate batsi: “Ufile.”

²⁷ Kodvwa Jesu wambamba ngesandla; wamsukumisa, nembala wasukuma.

²⁸ Jesu nasangene endlini nebafundzi bakhe babodvwa, bambuta batsi: “Kwentiwe yini kutsi tsine sehluleke kulikhipha lelidimoni?”

²⁹ Wabaphendvula Jesu watsi: “Loluhlobo lolu aluphumi ngalutfo lolunye ngaphandle kwemkhuleko [nekuzila kudla] .”

Jesu ukhuluma kwesibili ngekufa kwakhe

³⁰ Jesu nebafundzi bakhe besuka lapho bachubekela embili, badzabula eGalile. Abengatsandzi kutsi bantfu bati kutsi ukuphi.

³¹ Jesu wabafundzisa bafundzi bakhe atsi: “INdvodzana yeMuntfu itawuniketwa etandleni tebantfu. Bona batayibulala. Nase bayibulele itawuvuka ngelilanga lesitsatfu.”

³² Kodvwa abazange bayive leyo nkhulumo, besaba nekumbuta.

Ngubani lomkhulu kakhulu?

³³ Befika eKhaphanawume; batsi nase bangekhatsi endlini, Jesu wababuta watsi: “Beniphikisana ngani endleleni?”

³⁴ Bathula batsi cwaka; ngobe endleleni bebabutana ngekutsi ngubani lomkhulu emkhatsini wabo.

³⁵ Jesu wahlala phansi, wabita bafundzi bakhe labebali-12, watsi kubo: “Lofuna kuba mkhulu kunabo bonkhe, kufanele atitfobe ngaphansi kwabo bonkhe, abe sisebenti sabo bonkhe.”

³⁶ Wasondzeta umntfwana wammisa emkhatsini wabo, wamgona ngemikhono yakhe, watsi kubo:

³⁷ “Lowo lowemukela lomunye walabantfwana egameni lami, wemukela mine; nalowo lowemukela mine, akemukeli mine kuphela, kodvwa wemukela nalowo longitfumile.”

Lowo longalwi natsi ume ngakitsi

³⁸ Johane watsi kuye: “Mfundzisi, sibone lomunye akhipha emadimoni egameni lakho; samalela tsine, ngobe akahambisani natsi.”

³⁹ Kodvwa Jesu watsi: “Ningamaleli, ngobe kute longenta imisebenti yemandla egameni lami, longajika masinyane akhulume kabi ngami.

⁴⁰ Ngobe lowo longakemelani natsi, ukanye natsi.

⁴¹ Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Lowo loyakuninatsisa nome yinkomishi yinye nje yemanti, ngobe ningebaKhristu, nakanjani uyakwemukela umvuzo wakhe.”

Tilingo tekona

⁴² “Lowo lowenta munye nje walaba labancane labakholwa ngimi aphambuke endleleni yaNkulunkulu, bekuyakuba ncono kuye kutsi kunkinkelwe inguzanguza yelitje entsanyeni yakhe, agcumkiselwe elwandle, amite afe.

⁴³ “Sandla sakho nasikonisa, sijube! Kuncono umane ungene ekuphileni uyingini, kunekutsi ube netandla totibili uyekungena esihogweni, emlilweni longacimeki. [

⁴⁴ ‘Kuleyo ndzawo timphetfu takhona atifi, nemlilo wakhona awucimi.’]

⁴⁵ Nangabe lunyawo lwakho lukonisa, lujube! Kuncono umane ungene ekuphileni uyinchute, kunekutsi ube netinyawo totimbili kodvwa uyewulahlwa esihogweni. [

⁴⁶ ‘Kuleyo ndzawo timphetfu takhona atifi, nemlilo wakhona awucimi.’]

⁴⁷ Nangabe liso lakho likonisa, likupulute ulilahle khashane! Kuncono umane ungene embusweni waNkulunkulu uneliso linye, kunekutsi ube nemehlo omabili kodvwa uyewulahlwa esihogweni.

⁴⁸ ‘Kuleyo ndzawo timphetfu takhona atifi, nemlilo wakhona awucimi.’

⁴⁹ “Ngobe phela wonkhe umuntfu uyawuvangwa ngemlilo, njengobe kudla kuvangwa ngeluswayi.

⁵⁰ “Luswayi lona luhle, kodvwa luswayi nase lulahlekelwe bunandzi balo, buyawubuyiselwa ngani? “Banini neluswayi ngekhatsi kwenu, nibe nekuthula lomunye kulomunye, nivane.”
