Mateus 14

UJesu Uhamba Phezu Kwamanzi

22 Masinyane nje uJesu wathi abafundi bakhe bangene esikepeni bamandulele ngakwelinye iphetsheya, yena esavalelisana labantu. 23 Esebakhulule, waya ewatheni lwentaba ukuyakhuleka eyedwa. Sekuhlwile ngalobobusuku wayekhonale eyedwa, 24 kodwa isikepe sasesihambe umango ukusuka okhunjini, siyaluziswa ngamagagasi ngoba sasiphikisana lomoya.

25 Kwathi ngomlindo wesine ebusuku uJesu waya kubo ehamba phezu kwechibi. 26 Kwathi abafundi bembona ehamba phezu kwechibi besaba kakhulu. Bakhala ngokwesaba bathi, "Lithonga."

27 Kodwa uJesu waphanga wathi kubo, "Manini isibindi! Yimi. Lingesabi."

28 UPhethro waphendula wathi, "Nkosi, nxa kunguwe, tshono ukuba ngize kuwe phezu kwamanzi."

29 Wathi, "Woza."

Khonapho uPhethro wasephuma esikepeni, wahamba phezu kwamanzi weza kuJesu. 30 Kodwa wathi ebona umoya wesaba, kwathi eseqala ukutshona wakhala wathi, "Nkosi, akungisize!"

31 Khonokho uJesu welula isandla sakhe wambamba. Wathi kuye, "Wena olokholo oluncinyane, kungani uthandabuzile?"

32 Bonela ukungena esikepeni umoya wathula. 33 Kwathi labo ababesesikepeni bamkhonza bathi, "Ngempela uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu."
