Intshumayelo Yasentabeni
(Luk. 6:20)
1 Kwathi uJesu ebona izixuku, wenyukela entabeni; esehlezi phansi, abafundi bakhe beza kuye. 2Wayesevula umlomo, waqala ukubafundisa, ethi:
3 “Babusisiwe abampofu emoyeni,
ngokuba umbuso wezulu ungowabo.
4 Babusisiwe abakhalayo,
ngokuba bayakududuzwa.
5 Babusisiwe abamnene,
ngokuba bayakudla ifa lomhlaba.
6 Babusisiwe abalambele, bomele ukulunga,
ngokuba bayakusuthiswa.
7 Babusisiwe abanesihawu,
ngokuba bayakuhawukelwa.
8 Babusisiwe abanenhliziyo ehlanzekileyo,
ngokuba bayakumbona uNkulunkulu.
9Babusisiwe abalamulayo,
ngokuba bayakuthiwa ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.
10 Babusisiwe abazingelwa ngenxa yokulunga,
ngokuba umbuso wezulu ungowabo.
11 “Nibusisiwe nxa benithuka, benizingela, bekhuluma konke okubi ngani, beqamba amanga ngenxa yami. 12 Jabulani, nithokoze ngokuba umvuzo wenu mkhulu ezulwini, ngokuba babazingela kanjalo abaphrofethi abanenduleleyo.”
Mayelana Nosawoti Nokukhanya
13 “Nina ningusawoti womhlaba, kepha uma usawoti uduma, ubusawoti bovuswa ngani na? Awunamsebenzi walutho, kuphela ukuba ulahlwe ngaphandle, unyathelwe ngabantu.
14 “Nina ningukukhanya kwezwe. Umuzi owakhiwe entabeni ungesitheke. 15 Umuntu akasokheli isibani asibeke phansi kwesitsha, kodwa usifaka othini ukuze sibakhanyisele bonke abasendlini. 16 Kanjalo, makukhanye ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu, ukuba babone imisebenzi yenu emihle, bamdumise uYihlo osezulwini.
Mayelana Nokugcwalisa Umthetho
17“Ningasho ukuthi ngizochitha umthetho nabaphrofethi. Angizelanga ukuzochitha, kodwa ngize ukuzogcwalisa. 18 Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: kuyokwedlula izulu nomhlaba, kodwa akusoze kwadlula nalinye igama, nasicashana sinye somthetho, kuze kufezeke konke.
19“Ngakho-ke oweqa owodwa kule miyalelo emincinyane, afundise abantu kanjalo, uyakuthiwa omncinyane embusweni wezulu; kepha oyigcinayo, ayifundise, lowo uyakuthiwa mkhulu embusweni wezulu. 20 Ngokuba ngithi kini: uma ukulunga kwenu kungadluli okwezazimthetho nokwabaFarisi, anisoze nangena embusweni wezulu.
Mayelana Nokubulala Nokuthukuthela
21 “Nizwile, kwathiwa kwabasemandulo: ‘Ungabulali; yilowo nalowo obulalayo uyakuba necala ehlulelwe.’ 22Kepha Mina ngithi kini: yilowo nalowo othukuthelela umfowabo, uyakuba necala ayokwehlulelwa ngalo. Nalowo othi kumfowabo: ‘Silima,’ uyakuba necala emphakathini, nalowo othi: ‘Siwula,’ kumfowabo uyakuba necala, aphonswe esihogweni somlilo.
23“Ngakho-ke nxa uletha umnikelo wakho e-althare, bese ukhumbula lapho ukuthi umfowenu ukubambele igqubu, 24 wushiye lapho phambi kwe-althare umnikelo wakho, uhambe ubuyisane nomfowenu kuqala, andukuba uzonikela umnikelo wakho.
25 “Shesha uzwane nolwa nawe nisesendleleni, funa olwa nawe akunikele kumehluleli, umehluleli akunikele esikhonzini, uphonswe ejele. 26Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: kawusoze waphuma khona, uze ukhiphe ifadingi lokugcina.
Imfundiso Ngokuphinga
27 “Nizwile, kwathiwa: ‘Ungaphingi.’ 28Kepha Mina ngithi kini: yilowo nalowo obuka owesifazane, amkhanuke, usephingile naye enhliziyweni yakhe. 29 Uma iso lakho lesokunene likukhubekisa, likhiphe, ulilahle, ngokuba kungcono kuwe ukuba kubhubhe sibe sinye ezithweni zakho, kunokuba wonke umzimba wakho uphonswe esihogweni. 30 Noma lapho isandla sakho sokunene sikukhubekisa, sinqume, usilahle, ngokuba kungcono kuwe ukuba kubhubhe sibe sinye ezithweni zakho, kunokuba wonke umzimba wakho uphonswe esihogweni.
Mayelana Nolahla Umkakhe
31 “Kwathiwa: ‘Yilowo nalowo olahla umkakhe makamnike incwadi yesehlukaniso.’ 32 Kepha Mina ngithi kini: yilowo nalowo olahla umkakhe kungengenxa yokuphinga, umenza aphinge, noganwa ngolahliweyo, uyaphinga.
Mayelana Nokufunga
33 “Nizwile futhi, kwathiwa kwabasendulo: ‘Ungafungi amanga, kepha uqinise izifungo zakho eNkosini.’ 34 Kepha Mina ngithi kini: ningafungi nakanye, noma izulu, ngokuba liyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu, 35 noma umhlaba, ngokuba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zakhe, noma iJerusalema, ngokuba lingumuzi weNkosi enkulu. 36Ungafungi nekhanda lakho, ngokuba awunakuphendula nalunye unwele lube mhlophe noma lube mnyama. 37 Kepha izwi lenu malibe ngukuthi: yebo, yebo, noma qhabo, qhabo. Okudlula lapha kuvela komubi.
38 “Nizwile kwathiwa: ‘Iso ngeso, izinyo ngezinyo.’ 39 Kepha Mina ngithi kini: ningamelani nokubi, kodwa uma umuntu ekumukula esihlathini sokunene, mphendulele nesinye. 40 Nofuna ukukumangalela, akwemuke ingubo, mnike nejazi. 41Nosuke ekucindezela ukuba uhambe imayela libe linye, hamba naye abe mabili. 42 Muphe ocela utho kuwe, ungamlanduleli ofuna ukutsheleka kuwe.
Mayelana Nokuthanda Izitha
43 “Nizwile kwathiwa: ‘Wothanda umakhelwane wakho, uzonde isitha sakho.’ 44 Kepha Mina ngithi kini: thandani izitha zenu, nibabusise abaniqalekisayo, nibaphathe kahle abanizondayo, nibakhulekele abanizingelayo 45ukuze nibe ngabantwana bakaYihlo osezulwini. Ngokuba Yena uphumisa ilanga lakhe phezu kwababi nabahle, anise imvula yakhe phezu kwabalungileyo nabangalungile. 46Ngokuba uma nithanda abanithandayo, ninamvuzo muni na? Abenzi yini kanjalo nabathelisi na? 47Nalapho nibingelela abafowenu kuphela, yini ebalulekile eniyenzayo ngalokho na? Kanti abenzi yini kanjalo nabezizwe na? 48 Yibani ngabapheleleyo, njengalokhu noYihlo wasezulwini uphelele.”
