Ukufunda

The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel 2: 8-3: 4

2:8	Kodwa wena, indodana yomuntu, lalelani konke engikukhuluma kini. Futhi ungakhethi ukucasuka, njengoba leyondlu ingumcuphi. Vula umlomo wakho, futhi udle noma yini engikunika yona.
2:9	Futhi ngabheka, futhi bheka: isandla selulelwe kimi; kwakukhona umqulu usongwa kuwo. Futhi weneka phambi kwami, kwakulotshiwe ngaphakathi nangaphandle. kwakulotshwe kuyo izililo, kanye namavesi, kanye nosizi.

3:1	Wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, dlani eniyakufumana; yidla lo mqulu, futhi, ephuma, khuluma nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.”
3:2	Futhi ngavula umlomo wami, futhi wangiphakela lowo mqulu.
3:3	Wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, isisu sakho siyakudla, futhi ingaphakathi lakho liyogcwaliswa ngalo mqulu, engikunika lona.” Futhi ngadla, emlonyeni wami kwaba mnandi njengezinyosi.
3:4	Wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, hamba uye endlini ka-Israyeli, futhi uzokhuluma amazwi ami kubo.

Ivangeli

IVangeli Elingcwele NgokukaMathewu 18: 1-5, 10, 12-14

18:1	Ngalelo hora, the disciples drew near to Jesus, ethi, “Whom do you consider to be greater in the kingdom of heaven?”
18:2	Futhi uJesu, calling to himself a little child, placed him in their midst.
18:3	Wathi: “Amen ngithi kuwe, unless you change and become like little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
18:4	Ngakho-ke, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
18:5	And whoever shall accept one such little child in my name, accepts me.
18:10	See to it that you do not despise even one of these little ones. Ngoba ngithi kini, that their Angels in heaven continually look upon the face of my Father, osezulwini.
18:12	Kubonakala kanjani kuwe? If someone has one hundred sheep, and if one of them has gone astray, should he not leave behind the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go out to seek what has gone astray?
18:13	And if he should happen to find it: Amen ngithi kuwe, that he has more joy over that one, than over the ninety-nine which did not go astray.
18:14	Noma kunjalo, it is not the will before your Father, osezulwini, that one of these little ones should be lost.
