IVangeli kaMatshi 16, 2021 kunye namazwi kaPopu Francis
Kwincwadi yomprofeti uHezekile Hez 47,1: 9.12-XNUMX Ngezo ntsuku [ingelosi] yandikhokelela ekungeneni kwetempile [yeNkosi] ndabona ukuba ngaphantsi komgubasi wetempile, amanzi aqukuqela esiya ngasempumalanga; ngasempuma. La manzi ayephuma ngaphantsi kwecala lasekunene lendlu, evela kumazantsi esibingelelo. Undikhokele ndaphuma ngomnyango ongasemantla wandikhuphela ngasempuma ejonge ngaphandle, ndabona amanzi ethe gqa kwicala lasekunene.
Le ndoda yaqhubela phambili ngasempuma kwaye ngentambo esandleni sayo yalinganisa iwaka cùbiti, emva koko yandenza ukuba ndiwele loo manzi: afikelela eqatheni lam. Walinganisa elinye iwaka cùbiti, emva koko wandenza ukuwela loo manzi: afika emadolweni am. Walinganisa elinye iwaka cùbiti, emva koko wandenza ukuwela amanzi: yafikelela esinqeni. Walinganisa iwaka elinye: yaba ngumsinga endingenakuwuwela, ngokuba amanzi ayephakamile; yayingamanzi ahamba ngolwandle, umlambo ongenakuwelwa ngumlambo. Wathi kum, Ubonile na, nyana womntu? Waza wandibuyisela elunxwemeni lomlambo; Ukujika, ndabona ukuba elunxwemeni lomlambo kukho inani elikhulu kakhulu lemithi macala omabini.
Uthe kum: «La manzi ahamba esiya kwingingqi esempuma, ehla aye eArabhiya kwaye angene elwandle: ahamba aye elwandle, aphilisa amanzi awo. Yonke into ephilayo ehamba apho ufika khona umlambo, iya kuphila: iintlanzi ziya kuba ninzi apho, kuba apho afika khona loo manzi, ayaphilisa, kwaye apho umlambo ufikelela khona yonke into iya kuphila kwakhona. Ngasemlanjeni, kwibhanki enye nakwelinye icala, ziya kukhula zonke iintlobo zemithi yeziqhamo, amagqabi ayo angabuni; iziqhamo zayo aziyi kuphela kwaye ziya kuvuthwa nyanga nenyanga, kuba amanzi awo ahamba ephuma engcweleni. Iziqhamo zazo ziya kusebenza njengokutya kunye namagqabi njengeyeza ».
Ukusuka kwiVangeli ngokukaYohane UYohane 5,1: 16-XNUMX Kwakukho itheko lamaJuda, waza uYesu wenyuka waya eJerusalem. EJerusalem, kufutshane neSango leeGusha, kukho ichibi lokuqubha, elibizwa ngesiHebhere iBetzata, linee-arcades ezintlanu, phantsi kwazo kwakulele inani elikhulu labagulayo, iimfama, iziqhwala nabakhubazekileyo. Kwakukho indoda eyayigule iminyaka engamashumi amathathu anesibhozo. UYesu embona elele, esazi ukuba ubenesidima ixesha elide, wathi kuye: «Uyafuna ukuba uphile?». Indoda egulayo yaphendula yathi: «Mnumzana, andinamntu wokundntywilisela echibini xa kushukunyiswa amanzi. Ngapha koko, xa ndiza kuya phaya, omnye uhla phambi kwam ». Athi uYesu kuye, Vuka, uthabathe ukhuko lwakho, uhambe. Yaphiliswa kwangoko loo ndoda, yathatha ukhuko lwayo, yahambahamba.
Kodwa loo mini yayinguMgqibelo. Athi ngoko amaYuda kuloo mntu uphilisiweyo, NguMgqibelo lo; akuvumelekile ukuba uthwale umandlalo wakho. Wabaphendula wathi, "Lowo undiphilisileyo uthe kum, 'Thatha umandlalo wakho uhambe". Emva koko bambuza: "Ngubani le ndoda ithe kuwe, 'Thatha uhambe?'". Kodwa lowo uphilisiweyo wayengazi ukuba ungubani; Enyanisweni, uYesu wemka kuba kwakukho isihlwele kuloo ndawo. Kungekudala emva koko uYesu wamfumana etempileni wathi kuye: «Uyabona, uphilile! Ungaphindi wenze isono, ukuze ungaze wehlelwe yinto embi ». Wemka umntu lowo, waxela kumaYuda, ukuba nguYesu omphilisileyo. Kungenxa yoko le nto amaYuda emtshutshisayo uYesu, kuba wayesenza ezo zinto ngeSabatha.
Amagama kaPapa Francis
Isenza sicinge, isimo sengqondo sale ndoda. Wayegula? Ewe, mhlawumbi, wayekhubazekile, kodwa kubonakala ngathi angahamba kancinci. Kodwa wayegula yintliziyo, wayegula emphefumlweni, wayegula engenathemba, egula lusizi, egula ngobuvila. Esi sisifo sale ndoda: “Ewe, ndifuna ukuphila, kodwa…”, wayelapho. Kodwa isitshixo kukudibana noYesu emva koko. Wamfumana etempileni waza wathi kuye: “Uyabona, uphilile. Ungaphindi wenze isono, ukuze ungaze wehlelwe yinto embi ”. Loo ndoda yayisesonweni. Isono sokusinda nokukhalaza ngobomi babanye: isono sosizi esiyimbewu yomtyholi, sokungakwazi ukwenza isigqibo ngobomi bakho, kodwa ewe, ujonge ubomi babanye ukuze ukhalaze. Olu lusizi ukuba uMtyholi angalusebenzisa ukutshabalalisa ubomi bethu basemoyeni kwanobomi bethu njengabantu. (Ikhaya likaSanta Marta-Matshi 24, 2020)
