Omkhulu Kulabo Bonke Embusweni Wezulu

1 Ngalesosikhathi abafundi beza kuJesu babuza bathi, "Ngubani omkhulu kulabo bonke embusweni wezulu na?"

2 Wabiza umntwana omncinyane wamisa phakathi kwabo. 3 Wasesithi, "Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, ngaphandle kokuba liguquke libe njengabantwana abancinyane, kalisoze lafa langena embusweni wezulu. 4 Ngakho lowo ozithobayo njengomntwana lo nguye omkhulu kulabo bonke embusweni wezulu.

14 UJesu wathi, "Yekelani abantwana beze kimi, lingabavimbeli ngoba umbuso wezulu ungowabanjengalaba."

23 UJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe, "Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi kunzima emuntwini onothileyo ukuthi angene embusweni wezulu. 24 Njalo ngiyalitshela ukuthi kungaba lula ukuthi ikamela lingene embotsheni yenalithi kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu."

25 Kwathi abafundi sebekuzwile lokhu bamangala kakhulu babuza bathi, "Pho ngubani ongasindiswa na?"

26 UJesu wabakhangela wathi, "Ngokwabantu, lokhu kakwenzeki kodwa ngoNkulunkulu zonke izinto ziyenzeka."

5 Lalelani, bazalwane bami abathandekayo: Kanti uNkulunkulu kabakhethanga yini labo abangabayanga emehlweni omhlaba ukuba babengabanothileyo ekukholweni kanye lokudla ilifa lombuso awuthembisa labo abamthandayo na?

18 Kodwa abangcwele bakhe oPhezukonke bazawemukela umbuso ube ngowabo lanininini, yebo, okwanini lanini."

19 Loba ngubani owephula owodwa nje wale imilayo emincinyane, afundise abanye ukwenzanjalo uzathiwa mncinyane embusweni wezulu kodwa loba ngubani olandela njalo afundise imilayo le njengokuba, uzathiwa mkhulu embusweni wezulu. 20 Ngakho ngiyalitshela ukuthi ngaphandle kokuthi ukulunga kwenu kwedlule okwabaFarisi labafundisi bomthetho, ngempela kalizukuwungena umbuso wezulu."

‘Baba wethu osezulwini,

kalidunyiswe ibizo lakho,

10 umbuso wakho kawuze,

intando yakho kayenziwe emhlabeni

njengalokhu isenziwa ezulwini.

UJohane UMbhaphathizi Ulungisa Indlela

1 Ngalesosikhathi kwafika uJohane uMbhaphathizi etshumayela enkangala yaseJudiya 2 esithi, "Phendukani ngoba umbuso wezulu ususondele."

17 Kusukela ngalesosikhathi uJesu waqalisa ukutshumayela esithi, "Phendukani ngoba umbuso wezulu ususondele."

7 Ekuhambeni kwenu, litshumayele lelilizwi: ‘Umbuso wezulu ususondele.’

11 Ngithi kini abanengi bazavela empumalanga lentshonalanga, bahlale edilini lo-Abhrahama, lo-Isaka loJakhobe embusweni wezulu.

11 Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi, phakathi kwabo bonke abazelwe ngabesifazane akukaveli loyedwa omkhulu kuloJohane uMbhaphathizi ikanti lowo ongomncinyane kakhulu embusweni wezulu mkhulu kulaye. 12 Kusukela ensukwini zikaJohane uMbhaphathizi kuze kube khathesi, umbuso wezulu wala uqhubeka ngamandla ngoba abantu abalamandla bawubambile.

28 Ngakho-ke, njengoba sisamukela umbuso ongeke unyikinywe, kasibongeni njalo sikhonze uNkulunkulu ngokufaneleyo ngenhlonipho langokwesaba, 29 ngoba "uNkulunkulu wethu ungumlilo oqothulayo."*

11 Bazalandisa ngenkazimulo yombuso wakho

bakhulume ngamandla akho,

12 kuze kuthi bonke abantu bazi ngezenzo zakho ezinkulu

lokubenyezela kwenkazimulo yombuso wakho.

13 Umbuso wakho ungumbuso ongapheliyo,

lobukhosi bakho bumi kuzozonke izizukulwane.

UThixo uthembekile kuzozonke izithembiso zakhe

njalo ulothando kukho konke akwenzayo.

10 Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami, tshisekelani kakhulu ukwenza ukubizwa lokukhethwa kwenu kuqiniseke. Ngoba nxa lisenza lezizinto kalizukuwa, 11 njalo lizakwamukelwa ngokupheleleyo embusweni olaphakade weNkosi loMsindisi wethu uJesu Khristu.

18 INkosi izangihlenga kukho konke ukuhlaselwa okubi ingilethe kungekho bubi embusweni wayo wasezulwini. Udumo kalube kuyo kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni.

32 Lingesabi, mhlambi omncane, ngoba uYihlo uthandile ukulipha umbuso.

5 Ngoba kuliqiniso ukuthi: Akulamuntu oyisixhwali, ongcolileyo loba oyisihwaba, umuntu onjalo ukhonza izithombe, olelifa embusweni kaKhristu lokaNkulunkulu.
