Ngokuya NgoMatewu 10:1-42
10 Wabiza abafundi bakhe abali-12, wabanikela amandla wokuqotha imimoya emimbi+ nokulapha yoke imihlobo yamalwele.
2 Naka amagama wabapostoli abali-12:+ NguSimoni obizwa ngokuthi nguPitrosi,+ no-Andrisi+ umfowabo; uJakopo indodana kaZebediya noJwanisi+ umfowabo;
3 uFlebhe noBhartholomewu;+ uTomasi+ noMatewu+ umthelisi; uJakopo indodana ka-Alfiyosi; uThadiyosi;
4 uSimoni umKanana;* noJudasi Iskariyodi, owathengisa uJesu+ ngokukhamba kwesikhathi.
5 UJesu wathuma abalitjhumi nambilaba, wabanikela iinqophiswezi:+ “Ningaphambukeli endleleni yabantu beentjhaba, ningangeni kinanyana ngiliphi idorobho leSamariya;+
6 kunalokho, funani kwaphela izimvu ezilahlekileko zendlu ka-Israyeli.+
7 Njengombana nikhamba, tjhumayelani nithi: ‘UmBuso wezulu utjhidele.’+
8 Laphani abagulako,+ nivuse abafileko, nihlambulule abanobulepheru, niqothe namadimoni. Nifumene ngesihle, yiphani ngesihle.
9 Ningaphathi igolide, isiliva namkha ikhopha ngeempatjhini zenu,+
10 namkha isikhwama somphako ngombana isisebenzi kufuze sinikelwe ukudla.+ Godu ningaphathi izambatho ezimbili, amapatlagwana, nedondolo.+
11 “Kinanyana ngiliphi idorobho namkha isabelo eningena kiso, funani ofanelekako, nihlale lapho benikhambe.+
12 Nanifika emzini, lotjhisani.
13 Nangabe bayanamukela, ukuthula enibafisela khona akube lapho;+ kodwana nangabe abanamukeli, ukuthula kwenu akubuyele kini.
14 Nanyana ngubani onganamukeliko namkha alalele lokho enikutjhoko, naniphuma emzini loyo namkha edorobhenelo, thintithani ithuli eliseenyaweni zenu.+
15 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, kuzokuba ngcono enarheni yeSodoma neGomora+ ngeLanga lesaHlulelo kunedorobhenelo.
16 “Nginithuma njengezimvu hlangana neempisi; yeke, hlakaniphani njengeenyoka nibe msulwa njengamajuba.+
17 Tjhejani, ngombana abantu bazonisa emakhotho+ begodu banirithele+ ngemasinagogenabo.+
18 Nizokusiwa phambi kwababusi namakhosi+ ngebanga lami bona kube bufakazi kibo nebantwini beentjhaba.+
19 Nabanisa lapho, ningatshwenyeki ngokuthi nizokuthini namkha nizokuphendula njani, ngombana enizokukhuluma nizokutjelwa ngesikhatheso;+
20 ngombana akusingini enizabe nikhuluma kodwana kuzaba mmoya kaYihlo ozonikhulumela.+
21 Godu, umuntu uzokuthengisela umfowabo ekufeni, ubaba athengise umntwanakhe, nabantwana bazokujikela ababelethi babo benze bona babulawe.+
22 Nizokuhloywa babantu boke ngebanga legama lami+ kodwana loyo okghodlhelele bekwaba sekupheleni uzokusindiswa.+
23 Nabanihlunguphaza kwelinye idorobho, balekelani kwelinye+ ngombana ngithi kini, angeze niwazombe woke amadorobho wakwa-Israyeli ingakafiki iNdodana yomuntu.
24 “Umfundi akasingaphezu komfundisakhe, nesigqila asisingaphezu kwekosaso.+
25 Umfundi kufuze aneliswe kukuba njengomfundisakhe, nesigqila sibe njengekosaso.+ Nangabe abantu babiza ikosi yomuzi bona nguBhelzabhulu,*+ kangangani-ke ngalabo ehlala nabo ngendlini?
26 Ngalokho ningabasabi, ngombana akukho okugubuzesiweko okungekhe kwambulwe, akukho nokuyifihlo okungekhe kwaziwe.+
27 Enginitjela khona ebumnyameni, kukhulumeni ekukhanyeni, nalokho enihletjelwa khona, kutjhumayeleni niphezu kwezindlu.+
28 Ningabasabi labo abanganibulala kodwana abangekhe banivimbela bona niphile esikhathini esizako+ kodwana sabani loyo onganibhubhisa eGehena.*+
29 Abotunwana* ababili abathengiswa na ngesipaparwana senani eliphasi?* Nanyana kunjalo, akekho namunye wabo ozokuwela phasi uYihlo angazi.+
30 Kodwana ngitjho neenhluthu eziseenhloko zenu zibaliwe zoke.
31 Ngalokho ningasabi; nina niqakatheke khulu ukudlula abotunwana abanengi.+
32 “Nanyana ngubani ongivumako phambi kwabantu,+ nami ngizomvuma phambi kwakaBaba osezulwini.+
33 Kodwana nanyana ngubani ongiphikako phambi kwabantu, nami ngizomphika phambi kwakaBaba osezulwini.+
34 Ningacabangi ukuthi ngizele ukuletha ukuthula ephasini; angikazeli ukuletha ukuthula, kodwana ngilethe isabula.+
35 Ngombana ngizele ukubangela ukuhlukana, phakathi kwendodana noyise, indodakazi nonina, umakoti nonosokana.+
36 Kwamambala, amanaba womuntu kuzokuba malunga womndenakhe.
37 Othanda uyise namkha unina ukudlula mina akakangifaneli; nothanda indodana namkha indodakazakhe ukudlula mina akakangifaneli.+
38 Naloyo ongathwali isigodo sakhe sokuhlunguphazwa* angilandele akakangifaneli.+
39 Nanyana ngubani olinga ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe* kuzomlahlekela kodwana nanyana ngubani olahlekelwa kuphila kwakhe ngebanga lami uzokufumana.+
40 “Nanyana ngubani owamukela nina uyangamukela nami begodu nanyana ngubani ongamukelako wamukela naloyo ongithumileko.+
41 Owamukela umphorofidi ngombana amphorofidi, uzokufumana umvuzo womphorofidi,+ nowamukela umuntu olungileko ngombana amumuntu olungileko, uzokufumana umvuzo womuntu olungileko.
42 Naloyo oseza omunye wabancanaba amanzi ngombana amfundami, ngiqinisile ngithi kini, angekhe alahlekelwe mvuzwakhe.”+
