1 Musani ukugweba, ukuze ningagwetywa.
2 Kuba ngogwebo enigweba ngalo, niya kugwetywa kwangalo nani; nangomlinganiselo enilinganisela abanye ngawo, niya kulinganiselwa kwangawo nani.
3 Yini na ke ukuba usibone isibi esisesweni lomzalwana wakho, kanti akuwuqiqi wona umqadi okwelakho iliso?
4 Okanye ungáthini na ukuthi kumzalwana wakho, Yeka ndisikhuphe isibi eso esweni lakho, kanti nângo umqadi kwelakho iliso?
5 Mhanahanisindini, wukhuphe kuqala umqadi lowo esweni lakho, wandule ukubona kakuhle ukusikhupha isibi esisesweni lomzalwana wakho.
6 Musani ukukunika izinja okungcwele, kanjalo ningaziphosi iiperile* zenu phambi kweehagu, hleze zizinyathele ngamanqina azo, zijike ziniqwenge.
7 Celani, nophiwa; funani, nofumana; nkqonkqozani, novulelwa;
8 kuba wonke umntu ocelayo uyazuza, nalowo ufunayo uyafumana, nalowo unkqonkqozayo uya kuvulelwa.
9 Nguwuphi na umntu kuni ongáthi, ukuba unyana wakhe uthe wacela isonka, amnike ilitye?
10 Athi, ukuba uthe wacela intlanzi, amnike inyoka?
11 Ukuba ngoko nina, nikhohlakele nje, niyakwazi ukubapha abantwana benu izipho ezilungileyo, wobeka phi na yena uYihlo osemazulwini ukugqithisela ngokubapha okulungileyo abo bamcelayo?
12 Zonke izinto ngoko enisukuba ninga bangazenza abantu kuni, yenzani ezikwanjalo nani kubo; kuba oko kungumthetho nabaprofeti.
13 Ngenani ngesango elimxinwa; ngokuba libanzi isango, iphangalele nendlela, esa entshabalalweni; baninzi ke abangena ngalo.
14 Ngokuba limxinwa isango, icuthene nendlela, esa ebomini; bambalwa ke abalifumanayo.
15 Ke kaloku balumkeleni abaprofeti ababuxoki, abeza kuni ngezambatho zeegusha, ngaphakathi ke beziingcuka eziqwengayo.
16 Nobaqonda ngeziqhamo zabo. Kukha kukhiwe iidiliya emithaneni enameva, namakhiwane ezinkunzaneni, yini na?
17 Ngokunjalo yonke imithi elungileyo ivelisa iziqhamo ezihle, ke wona umthi ongenguwo uvelisa iziqhamo ezibi.
18 Umthi olungileyo awunakuvelisa ziqhamo zibi, nomthi ongenguwo awunakuvelisa ziqhamo zihle.
19 Wonke umthi ongavelisi ziqhamo zihle uyagawulwa, uphoswe emlilweni.
20 Ngoko ke nobaqonda ngeziqhamo zabo.
21 Asingabo bonke abathi kum, Nkosi, Nkosi, abaya kungena ebukumkanini bamazulu; ngokwenzayo ukuthanda kukaBawo osemazulwini.
22 Baninzi abaya kuthi kum ngaloo mini, Nkosi, Nkosi, sasingathe na engameni lakho saprofeta, sathi egameni lakho sakhupha iidemon, sathi egameni lakho senza imisebenzi yamandla emininzi?
23 Ndandule ndibaxelele, ndithi, Andizanga ndinazi; mkani kum, nina nenza okuchasene nomthetho.
24 Wonke umntu osukuba ngoko eweva la mazwi am, awenze, ndomfanekisa nendoda eyingqondi, yona yayakhelayo elulwalweni indlu yayo.
25 Yehla imvula, yeza imilambo, yavuthuza imimoya, yagaleleka kuloo ndlu; ayawa, kuba ibisekelwe elulwalweni.
26 Nomntu wonke owevayo la mazwi am, angawenzi, wofanekiswa nendoda esisiyatha, yona yayakhelayo entlabathini indlu yayo.
27 Yehla imvula, yeza imilambo, yavuthuza imimoya, yabetha kuloo ndlu; yawa; saba sikhulu ke isiwo sayo.
28 Kuthe ke, xenikweni uYesu ebewagqibile la mazwi, zakhwankqiswa iindimbane kukufundisa kwakhe;
29 kuba ebezifundisa njengonegunya, engafundisi njengabo ababhali.
