Ukukhazimuliswa KukaJesu Entabeni
(Mak. 9:2; Luk. 9:28)
1 Sekwedlule izinsuku eziyisithupha, uJesu wathatha uPhethro, uJakobe, noJohane umfowabo, wenyukela nabo entabeni ende, bebodwa. 2 Waphenduka esinye isimo bezibonela ngawabo; ubuso bakhe bakhanya njengelanga, izingubo zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya. 3Bheka, base bebona uMose no-Eliya bekhuluma naye.
4UPhethro wayesethi kuJesu: “Nkosi, kuhle ukuba sibe lapha. Uma uthanda, ngizakwakha lapha amadokodo amathathu, elinye kube ngelakho, elinye kube ngelikaMose, nelinye kube ngelika-Eliya.”
5 Esakhuluma, kwafika ifu elikhanyayo labemboza, kwezwakala izwi livela efwini, lithi: “Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokozile ngayo; yilaleleni.”
6Kuthe lapho bekuzwa lokho abafundi, bathi mbo ngobuso phansi, ngokuba babethukile kakhulu. 7Kepha uJesu wasondela, wabathinta, wathi: “Sukumani, ningesabi.”
8Kwathi lapho bephakamisa amehlo abo, ababona muntu, ngaphandle kukaJesu kuphela.
9Sebehla entabeni, uJesu wabayala wathi: “Ningalokothi nitshele muntu ngalo mbono, ize ivuswe kwabafileyo, iNdodana yomuntu.”
10 Abafundi bambuza, bathi: “Pho kungani izazimthetho zithi u-Eliya kumele afike kuqala na?”
11Wabaphendula wathi kubo: “Impela uyeza u-Eliya, uyakubuyisela konke esimeni sakho, 12 kodwa ngithi kini: u-Eliya sewafika; nokho abamazanga, kodwa benza kuye abakuthandayo. Kanjalo neNdodana yomuntu izakuhlushwa yibo.”
13Abafundi bakuqonda ukuthi wayekhuluma ngoJohane uMbhabhadisi.
UJesu Uphulukisa Umfana Onesithuthwane
(Mak. 9:14; Luk. 9:37)
14Sebefikile esixukwini, kweza kuye umuntu, waguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, 15wathi: “Nkosi, hawukela indodana yami, ngokuba inesithuthwane, iyahlukumezeka kakhulu; kukaningi iwela emlilweni nasemanzini. 16Ngiyilethe kubafundi bakho, kodwa bahluleka ukuyiphulukisa.”
17UJesu waphendula wathi: “Maye, kinina, sizukulwane esingakholwayo nesiphambeneyo; kuyoze kube nini nginani na? Kuyoze kube nini nginibekezelela na? Yiletheni lapha kimi.”
18UJesu wayeselikhuza idimoni, laphuma kuyo; umfana wasinda ngaleso sikhathi.
19Abafundi base beya kuJesu bebodwa, bathi: “Kungani thina singakwazanga ukulikhipha idimoni na?”
20 Wayesethi kubo: “Kungenxa yokukholwa kwenu okuncane. Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: uma ninokukholwa okungangembewu yesinaphi, niyakuthi kule ntaba: ‘Suka lapha, uye laphaya,’ iyakusuka, ngokuba akukho okuyakunahlula. 21Kepha lolu hlobo lwedimoni aluphumi ngaphandle kokukhuleka nokuzila ukudla.”
UJesu Ukhuluma Okwesibili Ngokuhlupheka Kwakhe
22 Besahamba eGalile, uJesu wathi kubo: “INdodana yomuntu izakukhashelwa ezandleni zabantu; 23bayakuyibulala, kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu izakuvuswa.”
Badabuka kakhulu.
24 Kuthe sebefikile eKhaphernawume, abaqoqi bemali yethempeli baya kuPhethro, bambuza, bathi: “Kungani umfundisi wenu engayitheli imali yethempeli na?”
25Wathi: “Uyayithela.”
Esengene endlini, uJesu wamandulela ngenkulumo, wathi: “Uthini umbono wakho, Simoni ngalokhu na? Amakhosi omhlaba ayithatha kobani intela yempahla neyekhanda; emadodaneni awo noma ebafokazini na?”
26Wathi: “Ebafokazini.”
UJesu wayesethi kuye: “Ngakho-ke amadodana akhululekile ukungayikhokhi. 27Kepha-ke ukuze singabakhubekisi, hamba uye olwandle, uphonse udobo, uthathe inhlanzi eyakubanjwa kuqala; kuyakuthi lapho usuyivule umlomo, ufumane imali; yithathe, ubanike yona, uthelele Mina nawe.”
