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.”+
