Isahluko 5

Uthe ke, akuzibona izihlwele ezo, wenyuka intaba; waza akuhlala phantsi, beza kuye abafundi bakhe.
2 Wawuvula umlomo wakhe, wabafundisa, esithi,
3 Banoyolo abangamahlwempu ngomoya; ngokuba ubukumkani bamazulu bobabo.
4 Banoyolo abakhedamileyo; ngokuba baya konwatyiswa bona.
5 Banoyolo abanobulali; ngokuba umhlaba baya kuwudla ilifa bona.
6 Banoyolo abalambela banxanelwe ubulungisa; ngokuba baya kuhluthiswa bona.
7 Banoyolo abanenceba; ngokuba baya kwenzelwa inceba bona.
8 Banoyolo abahlambulukileyo intliziyo; ngokuba baya kumbona uThixo bona.
9 Banoyolo abaxolisi; ngokuba baya kubizwa ngokuthi bangoonyana bakaThixo bona.
10 Banoyolo abatshutshiswa ngenxa yobulungisa; ngokuba ubukumkani bamazulu bobabo.
11 Ninoyolo nina, xa bathe abantu baningcikiva, banitshutshisa, bathetha zonke izinto ezikhohlakeleyo ngani bexoka, ngenxa yam.
12 Vuyani nigcobe kunene; ngokuba umvuzo wenu mkhulu emazulwini; kuba benjenjalo ukubatshutshisa abaprofeti ababekho phambi kwenu.
13 Niyityuwa yehlabathi nina; ke ukuba ityuwa ithe ayaba nasongo, yothiwani na ukuvakaliswa? Ayisalungele nto, kukulahlwa phandle kuphela, inyathelwe ngabantu.
14 Nina nilukhanyiselo lwehlabathi; umzi omi phezu kwentaba awunakufihlakala;
15 kananjalo abasibaneki isibane basibeke phantsi kwesitya; basibeka esiphathweni saso, sikhanyisele bonke abasendlwini.
16 Malukhanye ngokunjalo ukhanyiselo lwenu phambi kwabantu; ukuze bayibone imisebenzi yenu emihle, bamzukise uYihlo osemazulwini.
17 Ningabi ndize kuchitha umthetho, nokuba ngabaprofeti; andize kuchitha, ndize kuzalisekisa.
18 Kuba inene ndithi kuni, Koda kudlule izulu nehlabathi, kungakhanga kudlule nalinye iganyana nokuba lisuntswana emthethweni, kude kwenzeke konke.
19 Othe ngoko wachitha noko umnye kule mithetho mincinanana, wabafundisa abantu ngokunjalo, kothiwa ungomncinanana ebukumkanini bamazulu; othe wenza wafundisa ngayo, kothiwa ngomkhulu ebukumkanini bamazulu.
20 Kuba ndithi kuni, Ukuba ubulungisa benu abuthanga bugqithe kakhulu kobababhali nabaFarisi, anisayi kuza ningene ebukumkanini bamazulu.
21 Nivile ukuba kwathiwa kumanyange, Uze ungabulali; wothi othe wabulala, abe sisisulu somgwebo.
22 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Wonke umntu ofumana amqumbele umzalwana wakhe, woba sisisulu somgwebo; othe ke kumzalwana wakhe, Ntw’ ingento, woba sisisulu sentlanganiso yamatyala; othe ke, Siyathandini, woba sisisulu sesihogo somlilo.
23 Ngoko xa sukuba uwusondeza umnikelo wakho esibingelelweni, wathi ulapho wakhumbula ukuba umzalwana wakho unendawo ngakuwe,
24 wushiye apho umnikelo wakho phambi kwesibingelelo, uhambe uye uxolelane nomzalwana wakho kuqala, wandule ukuza uwusondeze umnikelo wakho.
25 Lungisana kamsinya nokumangaleleyo, usesendleleni naye; hleze ummangaleli lowo akunikele emgwebini, aze umgwebi akunikele kumsila, uze uphoswe entolongweni.
26 Inene ndithi kuwe, Akusayi kukha uphume khona apho, ude uhlawule nemalanana yokugqibela.
27 Nivile ukuba kwathiwa kumanyange, Uze ungakrexezi.
28 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Wonke umntu okhangela umntu oyinkazana, ukuba amkhanuke, uselemkrexezile entliziyweni yakhe.
29 Ukuba ke iliso lakho lokunene liyakukhubekisa, linyothule ulilahle kuwe; kuba kukulungele kanye ukuba kutshabalale libe linye emalungwini akho, kunokuba umzimba wakho uphela uphoswe esihogweni.
30 Nokuba isandla sakho sokunene siyakukhubekisa, sinqamle usilahle kuwe; kuba kukulungele kanye ukuba kutshabalale libe linye emalungwini akho, kunokuba umzimba wakho uphela uphoswe esihogweni.
31 Kwathiwa ke, Othe wamala umfazi wakhe, makamnike incwadi yokwahlukana.
32 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Othe wamala umfazi wakhe ngaphandle kwendawo yombulo, uyamkrexezisa; nothe wazeka owaliweyo, uyakrexeza.
33 Kanjalo nivile ukuba kwathiwa kumanyange, Uze ungafungi buxoki; wakuthi uzifeze eNkosini izifungo zakho.
34 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Maningakhe nifunge nto; nokuba lizulu, ngokuba yitrone kaThixo;
35 nokuba lihlabathi eli, ngokuba sisihlalo seenyawo zakhe; nokuba yiYerusalem, ngokuba ngumzi woKumkani omkhulu.
36 Uze ungayifungi nentloko yakho, ngokuba ungenamandla okwenza nalunye unwele lube mhlophe, nokuba lube mnyama.
37 Ilizwi lenu ke malibe nguewe, ewe; nguhayi, hayi. Okugqithe koko ke kuvela kokungendawo.
38 Nivile ukuba kwathiwa, Iliso maliphindezelwe ngeliso, nezinyo ngezinyo.
39 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Maningasunduzani nokungendawo; yithi osukuba ekutywakraza esidleleni sakho sokunene, umguqulele nesinye eso.
40 Nalowo ufuna ukukumangalela, akuhluthe ingubo yangaphantsi, myekele neyokwaleka.
41 Nosukuba ekunyanzelela imayile enye, hamba naye zibe mbini.
42 Mphe lowo ukucelayo, nalowo ufuna ukuboleka kuwe ungamnikeli umva.
43 Nivile ukuba kwathiwa, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho, uluthiye utshaba lwakho.
44 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Zithandeni iintshaba zenu, basikeleleni abo baniqalekisayo, benzeleni okulungileyo abo banithiyayo, nibathandazele abo banigxekayo banitshutshise;
45 ukuze nibe ngabantwana boYihlo osemazulwini; ngokuba ilanga lakhe elenza liphume phezu kwabakhohlakeleyo nabalungileyo; nemvula eyinisa phezu kwabalungisayo nabangalungisiyo.
46 Kuba xa nithe nathanda abo banithandayo, ninamvuzo mni na? Abenzi kwaloo nto yini na nababuthi berhafu?
47 Naxa nithe nabulisa abazalwana benu bodwa, yintoni na egqithiseleyo eniyenzayo? Abenjenjalo yini na nababuthi berhafu?
48 Ngoko yibani ngabafezekileyo, njengokuba uYihlo osemazulwini efezekile.
