2. 2NDEWalandelwa ngamaxuku amakhulu abantu, wabasilisa khona lapho.BSBBSB: Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3. 3NDEAbanye abaFarisi beza kuye ukuzamlinga. Bambuza bathi, “Kusemthethweni yini ukuthi indoda ilahle umkayo loba kungasiphi isizatho?”BSBBSB: Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4. 4NDEWaphendula wathi, “Kalikubalanga yini ukuthi ekuqaleni uMdali ‘wabenza baba ngowesilisa lowesifazane,’BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
5. 5NDEwathi, ‘Ngalesi isizatho indoda izatshiya uyise lonina ihlanganiswe lomkayo, kuthi laba ababili bazakuba nyamanye?’BSBBSB: and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6. 6NDENgakho kabasebabili, kodwa sebenyamanye. Ngakho, lokho uNkulunkulu asekuhlanganisile akungehlukaniswa muntu.”BSBBSB: So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
7. 7NDEBabuza bathi, “Kungani pho uMosi walaya ukuthi indoda imuphe umkayo incwadi yokuquma umtshado ibisimxotsha?”BSBBSB: “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8. 8NDEUJesu waphendula wathi, “UMosi walivumela ukuthi lilahle omkenu ngobulukhuni bezinhliziyo zenu. Kodwa kwakungenjalo ekuqaleni.BSBBSB: Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning.
9. 9NDENgilitshela ukuthi lowo ohlukana lomkakhe, ngaphandle kokuba ehlobongile, athathe omunye umfazi, uyaphinga.”BSBBSB: Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
10. 10NDEAbafundi bathi kuye, “Nxa kumi kanjalo phakathi kwendoda lomkayo kungcono ukungathathi.”BSBBSB: His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11. 11NDEUJesu waphendula wathi, “Akusibo bonke abangalemukela lelilizwi, kodwa labo kuphela abaliphiweyo.BSBBSB: “Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.
12. 12NDENgoba abanye bangabathenwa ngenxa yokuthi bazalwa benjalo, abanye benziwa ngabantu njalo abanye bakudela ukutshada ngenxa yombuso wezulu. Lowo ongakwamukela lokho kakwemukele.”BSBBSB: For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
13. 13NDEKwasekulethwa abantwana abancinyane kuJesu ukuba ababeke izandla lokubakhulekela. Kodwa abafundi babakhuza labo ababalethayo.BSBBSB: Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14. 14NDEUJesu wathi, “Yekelani abantwana beze kimi, lingabavimbeli ngoba umbuso wezulu ungowabanjengalaba.”BSBBSB: But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15. 15NDEEsebabekile izandla wasuka lapho wahamba.BSBBSB: And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
16. 16NDEKweza enye insizwa kuJesu yabuza yathi, “Mfundisi, ngingenzani okulungileyo ukuze ngizuze ukuphila okungapheliyo na?”BSBBSB: Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”
17. 17NDEUJesu waphendula wathi, “Ungibuzelani ngokulungileyo na? Munye kuphela olungileyo. Nxa ufuna ukungena ekuphileni, landela imilayo.”BSBBSB: “Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18. 18NDEInsizwa yabuza yathi, “Yiphi na?” UJesu waphendula wathi, “ ‘Ungabulali, ungaphingi, ungatshontshi, ungafakazeli amanga,BSBBSB: “Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
19. 19NDEhlonipha uyihlo lonyoko,’ njalo ‘thanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena.’”BSBBSB: honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20. 20NDEInsizwa yathi, “Yonke le ngiyigcinile. Pho ngisaswelani na?”BSBBSB: “All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”
21. 21NDEUJesu waphendula wathi, “Nxa ufuna ukuthi uphelele, thengisa yonke inotho yakho uphe abampofu, lapho-ke inotho yakho izakuba sezulwini. Ubusubuya ungilandele.”BSBBSB: Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22. 22NDEKwathi insizwa ikuzwa lokho, yasuka idanile ngoba yayilenotho enengi kakhulu.BSBBSB: When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
23. 23NDEUJesu wasesithi kubafundi bakhe, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi kunzima emuntwini onothileyo ukuthi angene embusweni wezulu.BSBBSB: Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24. 24NDENjalo ngiyalitshela ukuthi kungaba lula ukuthi ikamela lingene embotsheni yenalithi kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.”BSBBSB: Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25. 25NDEKwathi abafundi sebekuzwile lokhu bamangala kakhulu babuza bathi, “Pho ngubani ongasindiswa na?”BSBBSB: When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26. 26NDEUJesu wabakhangela wathi, “Ngokwabantu, lokhu kakwenzeki kodwa ngoNkulunkulu zonke izinto ziyenzeka.”BSBBSB: Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27. 27NDEUPhethro wamphendula wathi, “Sesitshiye konke ukuze sikulandele! Pho sizazuzani na?”BSBBSB: “Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”
28. 28NDEUJesu wathi kubo, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi, emhlabeni omutsha, lapho iNdodana yoMuntu isihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, lina elingilandelayo lani lizahlala ezihlalweni zobukhosi ezilitshumi lambili, lahlulele izizwana ezilitshumi lambili zako-Israyeli.BSBBSB: Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29. 29NDENjalo bonke labo abatshiye izindlu zabo, loba abafowabo, loba odadewabo kumbe uyise loba unina kumbe abantwana loba amasimu ngenxa yami bazakwamukeliswa okwandiswe ngekhulu njalo bazakudla ilifa lokuphila okungapheliyo.BSBBSB: And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.
30. 30NDEKodwa abanengi abangabokuqala bazakuba ngabokucina njalo abanengi abangabokucina bazakuba ngabokuqala.”BSBBSB: But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
