1. | Ke kaloku kwaye kukho abathile ngelo xesha, ababembikela amaGalili, agazi uPilato waliphithikeza namadini awo. |
2. | Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Niba na loo maGalili ebengaboni ngaphezu kwawo onke amaGalili, ngokuba eve ubunzima obunjalo? |
3. | Ndithi kuni, Hayi; nothi xa sukuba ningaguquki, nitshabalale kwangokunjalo nonke. |
4. | Hi, bona abo balishumi elinesibhozo, bawelwa yinqaba eseSilowa, yababulala; niba na babenetyala ngaphezu kwabo bonke abantu abemiyo eYerusalem? |
5. | Ndithi kuni, Hayi; nothi, xa sukuba ningaguquki, nitshabalale kwangokunjalo nonke. |
6. | Wabethetha ke lo mzekeliso: Ubani wayenomkhiwane, utyelwe esidiliyeni sakhe; weza efuna isiqhamo kuwo, akafumana nto. |
7. | Wathi ke kumsebenzi-sidiliya, Uyabona, ndiminyaka mithathu ndiza ndifuna isiqhamo kulo mkhiwane, ndingafumani nto; wugawule; yini na ukuba ude uphuthise nomhlaba. |
8. | Aphendule ke yena athi kuye, Nkosi, wuyeke nangalo mnyaka, ndide khendimbe ndiwurhaqe, ndigalele umgquba. |

15. | Yamphendula ngoko iNkosi, yathi, Mhanahanisindini, akathi na elowo kuni ayikhulule ngesabatha inkomo yakhe, nokuba liesile lakhe, emkhumbini wesitali, alirhole aye kuliseza? |
16. | Lo ke, eyintombi ka-Abraham nje, ayibophileyo uSathana, khangela, le minyaka ilishumi elinesibhozo, ubengamele ukukhululwa na kulo mabophe ngomhla wesabatha? |
17. | Akubon ukuba uyazithetha ezo ndawo, badaniswa bonke abachasene naye; zathi zonke izihlwele zavuya ngazo zonke izinto ezizukileyo ezenziwa nguye. |
18. | Wayesithi ke, Bufana nantoni na ubukumkani bukaThixo? Ndiya kubufanisa nantoni na? |
19. | Bufana nokhozo lwemostade, awaluthabathayo umntu, waluphosa emyezweni wakhe; lwahluma lwaba ngumthi omkhulu, zathi iintaka zezulu zahlala emasebeni awo. |
20. | Wabuya wathi, Ndiya kubufanisa nantoni na ubukumkani bukaThixo? |
21. | Bufana negwele, awalithabathayo umfazi, walifihla ezilinganisweni zozithathu zomgubo, wada wabiliswa uphela. |
22. | Waye ecanda kwimizi ngemizi, nemizana ngemizana, efundisa, esinga eYerusalem. |
23. | Ke kaloku wathi othile kuye, Nkosi, bambalwa na abo basindiswayo? |
24. | Uthe ke yena kubo, Zamani ukungena ngesango elimxinwa; ngokuba ndithi kuni, baninzi abaya kufuna ukungena, bakhohlwe. |
25. | Xa selethe wavuka umninindlu, waluvala ucango, naza naqala ukuma ngaphandle, nokunkqonkqoza elucangweni, nisithi, Nkosi, nkosi, sivulele: uya kuza aphendule athi kuni, Andinazi apho nivela khona. |
26. | Niya kwandula niqale ukuthi, Sadla, sasela, emehlweni akho; nawe wafundisa ezitratweni zethu. |
27. | Athi, Ndithi kuni, andinazi apho nivela khona; mkani kum, nina nonke basebenzi bokungalungileyo. |
28. | Khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo, xa nithe nabona uAbraham, noIsake, noYakobi, nabo bonke abaprofeti, ebukumkanini bukaThixo; nibe ke nina nikhutshelwe phandle. |
29. | Babeya kuza bevela empumalanga nasentshonalanga, nasentla, nasezantsi, bangqengqe ebukumkanini bukaThixo. |
30. | Yabonani, bakho abokugqibela abaya kuba ngabokuqala; bakho nabokuqala abaya kuba ngabokugqibela. |
31. | Kwangaloo mini kweza abaFarisi abathile, besithi kuye, Phuma umke apha; ngokuba uHerode ufuna ukukubulala. |
32. | Wathi kubo, Yiyani nithi kuloo mpungutye, Uyabona, ndikhupha iidemon, ndifinyeze iimpiliso, namhla nangomso; ndithi ngowesithathu umhla ndifeze. |
33. | Kodwa ndimelwe kukuthi ndihambe namhla nangomso nangolandelayo; ngokuba akangekhe umprofeti atshabalalele ngaphandle kweYerusalem. |
34. | Yerusalem, Yerusalem, ebabulalayo abaprofeti, ibagibisele ngamatye abo bathunywe kuyo! Kufuthi kangakanani na ndathandayo ukubabuthela ndawonye abantwana bakho, ngohlobo esithi isikhukukazi siwabuthele ndawonye amantshontsho aso ngaphantsi kwamaphiko aso, anavuma! |
35. | Yabonani, indlu yenu ishiywa nani ize. Inene, ndithi ke kuni. Aniyi kuba sandibona, kude kufike ixesha eniya kuthi, Makabongwe lowo uzayo egameni leNkosi. |
