IVangeli, Saint, umkhuleko we-19 Novemba
IVangeli Lanamuhla
Okuvela kwiVangeli likaJesu Kristu ngokukaMathewu 25,14-30.
Ngaleso sikhathi, uJesu washo lo mfanekiso kubafundi bakhe:
Indoda yahamba, yabiza izinceku zayo, yazinika impahla yayo.
Kumunye wamnika amathalenta amahlanu, elinye amabili, elinye elinye, ngalinye ngokwamandla akhe, wahamba.
Lowo owayethole amathalenta amahlanu washeshe waziyela kuwo wawathola amanye amahlanu.
Ngakho-ke nalowo owayethole ezimbili wazuza amanye amabili.
Esikhundleni salokho, owayethole ithalente elilodwa kuphela waya ukuyokwenza umgodi emhlabathini wafihla imali yenkosi yakhe.
Emva kwesikhathi eside yafika inkosi yalezo zinceku, futhi yafuna ukulungisa i-akhawunti nazo.
Lowo obamukele amathalenta amahlanu, waletha amanye amahlanu, ethi: Nkosi, unginikile amathalenta amahlanu; bheka, ngizuze amanye amahlanu.
Nokho, inceku enhle nethembekile, yathi inkosi yayo, ubuthembekile kokuncane, ngizokunika igunya phezu kokuningi; iqhaza enjabulweni yenkosi yakho.
Kwase kusondela leyo eyayamukele amathalenta amabili yathi: Nkosi, unginike amathalenta amabili; bheka, ngithole amanye amabili.
Yebo, nceku enhle nethembekile, inkosi yaphendula, uthembekile kokuncane, ngizokunika igunya phezu kokuningi; iqhaza enjabulweni yenkosi yakho.
Ekugcineni kwafika lowo obamukele ithalente elilodwa kuphela, wathi: Nkosi, ngiyazi ukuthi ungumuntu olukhuni, uvuna lapho ungahlwanyelanga khona futhi uvuna lapho ungazange uchithe khona;
ngokwesaba ukuthi ngiyofihla ithalente lakho ngaphansi komhlaba; nakhu okwakho.
Inkosi yamphendula yathi: “Nceku embi, ekhohlakele, bewazi ukuthi ngivuna lapho engingahlwanyelanga khona futhi ngivuna lapho engingazange ngichithe khona;
kufanele ngabe uphathise imali yami kubabhange ngakho-ke, uma ngibuya, ngabe ngiyikhiphile imali yami ngenzalo.
Ngakho-ke thathani ithalente kuye nilinike noma ngubani onamathalenta ayishumi.
Ngoba wonke umuntu onayo uyonikezwa futhi uyoba nensada; kepha abangenakho bayakuthatha nalokho abanakho.
Inceku eyize ayikhiphele ebumnyameni; lapho kuzoba khona ukukhala nokugedla kwamazinyo ».
