Mathewu 23

¹Khona uJesu wakhuluma ezixukwini nakubafundi bakhe.

²Esithi: Ababhali nabaFarisi bahlezi esihlalweni sikaMozisi;

³Ngakho-ke konke abalitshela khona, kugcineni, likwenze; kodwa ningenzi njengemisebenzi yabo, ngokuba bayakhuluma, bangenzi.

⁴Ngokuba babopha imithwalo enzima, bayibeke emahlombe abantu; kodwa bona ngokwabo abafuni ukuwanyakazisa nangomunwe wawo.

⁵Kodwa yonke imisebenzi yabo bayenza ukuze babonwe ngabantu; bawenza abe banzi amafilakteriyu abo, bandise imiphetho yezingubo zabo;

⁶bathanda izihlalo eziphambili ekudleni, lezihlalo eziphambili emasinagogeni;

⁷nokubingelelwa ezigcawini, nokubizwa ngabantu ngokuthi Rabi, Rabi.

⁸Kepha nina maningabizwa ngokuthi Rabi, ngokuba munye uMfundisi wenu, uKristu; lani lonke lingabazalwane.

⁹Ningabizi muntu emhlabeni ngokuthi uyihlo, ngokuba munye uYihlo osezulwini.

¹⁰Futhi ningabizwa ngokuthi abefundisi, ngokuba munye uMfundisi wenu, uKristu.

¹¹Kodwa omkhulu phakathi kwenu kabe yinceku yenu.

¹²Nalowo oziphakamisayo uyathotshiswa; lalowo ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.

¹³Kodwa maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nivalela abantu umbuso wezulu, ngokuba aningeni nina, nabangenayo anibavumeli ukuba bangene.

¹⁴Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nidla izindlu zabafelokazi, nangokuzenzisa nenza imikhuleko emide;

¹⁵Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngoba nizungeza ulwandle nomhlaba ukwenza oyedwa ophendukela kumaJuda, futhi lapho esenziwe, nimenza umntwana wesihogo ngokuphindwe kabili kunani.

¹⁶Maye kini, baholi abayizimpumputhe, enithi: Noma ubani ofunga ithempeli akulutho; kodwa ofunga igolide lethempeli, ulomlandu.

¹⁷Ziwula nezimpumputhe, ngokuba yikuphi okukhulu, igolide nethempeli elingcwelisa igolide na?

¹⁸Futhi: Ofunga i-altare akulutho; kepha ofunga umnikelo ophezu kwawo unecala.

¹⁹Ziwula nezimpumputhe, ngokuba yikuphi okukhulu, umnikelo noma i-altare elingcwelisa umnikelo na?

²⁰Ngakho-ke ofunga i-altare ufunga lona nakho konke okuphezu kwalo.

²¹Futhi ofunga ithempeli ufunga lona langaye ohlala kulo.

²²Nalowo ofunga izulu ufunga isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu nohlezi phezu kwaso.

²³Maye kini, babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! Ngokuba nikhokha okweshumi kweminti, neanise, nekhumini, kepha niyeke okubaluleke kakhulu zomthetho, ukwahlulela, nesihawu, nokukholwa;

²⁴Bakhokheli abayizimpumputhe, elihluza insensane, liginye ikamela.

²⁵Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nihlanza ingaphandle lenkezo nesitsha, kepha ngaphakathi kugcwele ukuphanga nokuxhashazwa.

²⁶MFarisi oyimpumputhe, hlambulula kuqala okuphakathi kwenkezo noqwembe, ukuze kuhlanzeke nengaphandle lakho.

²⁷Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nifana namathuna acakiwe, abonakala emahle ngaphandle, kepha ngaphakathi agcwele amathambo abafileyo nokungcola konke.

²⁸Kanjalo nani ngaphandle nibonakala kubantu nilungile, kepha ngaphakathi nigcwele ukuzenzisa nobubi.

²⁹Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nakha amathuna abaprofethi, nihlobise amathuna abalungileyo;

³⁰nithi: Uma sasikhona emihleni yawobaba, sasingayikuhlanganyela nabo egazini labaprofethi.

³¹Ngakho niyazifakazela nina ukuthi ningamadodana ababulala abaprofethi.

³²Gcwalisani-ke isilinganiso sawoyihlo.

³³Zinyoka, nzalo yamabululu, lingakubalekela njani ukulahlwa kwesihogo?

³⁴Ngakho-ke, bhekani, mina ngithumela kini abaprofethi, nabahlakaniphileyo, nababhali; abanye kubo niyakubashaya emasinagogeni enu, nibazingele imizi ngemizi;

³⁵ukuze kwehlele phezu kwenu igazi lonke elilungileyo elachithwa emhlabeni, kusukela egazini lika-Abela olungileyo kuze kufike egazini likaZakariya indodana kaBarakiya enambulala phakathi kwethempeli ne-altare.

³⁶Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Konke lokhu kuyakufika phezu kwalesi sizukulwane.

³⁷Jerusalema, Jerusalema, wena obulala abaprofethi, okhanda ngamatshe abathunywe kuwe, kukangaki ngithanda ukubuthela ndawonye abantwana bakho, njengesikhukhukazi sibuthela amatshwele aso ngaphansi kwamaphiko aso, kodwa anivumanga!

³⁸Bhekani, indlu yenu isisala nani.

³⁹Ngokuba ngithi kini: Anisayikungibona kusukela manje, nize nithi: Ubusisiwe ozayo egameni leNkosi.
