Luka 8
1 Zitatha izi, Yesu anayendayenda kuchoka mzinda wina kupita wina ndiponso mudzi wina kupita wina, akulalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa ufumu wa Mulungu. Ophunzira ake khumi ndi awiri aja anali naye,
Ngemva kwalokho uJesu wahambahamba engena kuleli laleli idolobho lemizi, ememezela izindaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu. Abalitshumi lambili babelaye,
2 komanso akazi ena amene anachiritsidwa ku mizimu yoyipa ndi matenda: Mariya, wotchedwa Magadalena, amene mwa iye munatuluka ziwanda zisanu ndi ziwiri;
kanye labesifazane ababesiliswe emimoyeni emibi lemikhuhlaneni: uMariya (owayethiwa nguMagadalini) okwakuphume kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa;
3 Yohana mkazi wa Kuza, woyangʼanira mʼnyumba ya Herode; Suzana; ndi ena ambiri analinso. Akazi awa ankawathandiza ndi chuma chawo.
uJowana umkaTshuza, umlawuli wendlu kaHerodi; uSusana labanye abanengi. Abesifazane laba babebasiza ngabakuswelayo.
4 Anthu ambiri ankasonkhana, ndipo pamene anthu ankabwera kwa Yesu kuchokera ku midzi, Iye anawawuza fanizo ili,
Kwathi sekubuthana ixuku labantu elikhulu labantu besiza kuJesu beqhamuka emadolobheni atshiyeneyo wabatshela lo umzekeliso:
5 “Mlimi anapita kukafesa mbewu zake. Akufesa mbewuzo, zina zinagwa mʼmbali mwa njira; zinapondedwa, ndipo mbalame zamlengalenga zinadya.
“Umlimi waphuma wayahlanyela. Wathi elokhu eyihaza inhlanyelo, eyinye yawela endleleni; yanyathelwa, izinyoni zemoyeni zayidobha.
6 Zina zinagwa pa thanthwe, ndipo pamene zinamera, zinafota chifukwa panalibe chinyezi.
Eyinye yawela edwaleni, yathi isathi iyakhula yabuna ngoba yayingelabumanzi.
7 Mbewu zina zinagwera pakati pa minga, zinakulira pamodzi ndi mingazo ndipo zinalepheretsa mmerawo kukula.
Eyinye inhlanyelo yawela phakathi kwameva, akhula kanye layo ayiminyezela.
8 Mbewu zina zinagwera pa nthaka yabwino. Zinamera ndipo zinabala mowirikiza 100 kuposa zimene zinafesedwa zija.” Atanena izi, anafuwula kuti, “Amene ali ndi makutu, amve.”
Eyinye inhlanyelo yawela emhlabathini ovundileyo. Yakhula yathela amabele, yanda ngekhulu.” Wathi esetsho lokhu wamemeza wathi, “Lowo olendlebe zokuzwa, kezwe.”
9 Ophunzira ake anamufunsa tanthauzo lake la fanizolo.
Abafundi bakhe bambuza ukuthi umzekeliso lowo wawusitshoni.
10 Iye anati, “Kudziwa zinsinsi za ufumu wa Mulungu kwapatsidwa kwa inu, koma kwa ena ndimawayankhula mʼmafanizo kuti, “ngakhale akuona, asapenye; ngakhale akumva, asazindikire.”
Wathi, “Ulwazi lwemfihlo yombuso kaNkulunkulu seluphiwe lina, kodwa kwabanye ngikhuluma kubo ngemizekeliso, ukuze kuthi, ‘loba bekhangele, bangaboni; loba besizwa, bengaqedisisi.’
11 “Tanthauzo la fanizoli ndi ili: Mbewu ndi mawu a Mulungu.
Nansi ingcazelo yomzekeliso: Inhlanyelo iyilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
12 Mbewu za mʼmbali mwa njira ndi anthu amene amamva mawu, ndipo kenaka mdierekezi amabwera ndi kuchotsa mawuwo mʼmitima mwawo kuti asakhulupirire ndi kupulumutsidwa.
Labo abasendleleni ngabalizwayo, kodwa uSathane eze alihluthune ilizwi ezinhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangakholwa basindiswe.
13 Mbewu za pa thanthwe ndi anthu amene amalandira mawu mwachimwemwe pamene akumva, koma mawuwo sazika mizu. Iwo amakhulupirira kwa kanthawi, koma pa nthawi ya mayesero, amagwa.
Labo abasokhetheni ngabemukela ilizwi ngentokozo nxa belizwa, kodwa kabalampande. Bayakholwa okwesikhatshana, kodwa kuthi ngesikhathi sobunzima bawe.
14 Mbewu zimene zinagwa pakati pa minga zikuyimira anthu amene amamva mawu, koma akamayenda mʼnjira zawo amatsamwitsidwa ndi zodandaulitsa za moyo uno, chuma ndi zosangalatsa, ndipo iwo samakhwima.
Inhlanyelo eyawela emeveni imele labo abezwayo, kodwa baqhubeke ngeyabo indlela bakhanywe yizinhlupheko zempilo, inotho kanye lezikholisisayo, bangabe besakhula baphelele.
15 Koma mbewu za pa nthaka yabwino zikuyimira anthu amene ali ndi mtima woona ndi wabwino, amene amamva mawu nawasunga, ndipo amalimbikira mpaka amabala zipatso.
Kodwa inhlanyelo esemhlabathini ovundileyo imele labo abalenhliziyo enhle, elungileyo, abalizwayo ilizwi, baligcine bathi ngokubambelela bathele izithelo.”
16 “Palibe amayatsa nyale ndi kuyibisa mu mtsuko kapena kuyika pansi pa bedi. Koma mʼmalo mwake, amayika pa choyikapo chake, kuti anthu olowamo aone kuwala.
“Kakho olumathisa isibane asifihle ngaphansi kwesitsha kumbe asibeke ngaphansi kombheda. Kodwa usibeka esiqobaneni ukuze labo abangenayo babone ukukhanya.
17 Pakuti palibe kanthu kobisika kamene sikadzawululika, ndipo palibe kanthu kophimbika kamene sikadzadziwika kapena kuonetsedwa poyera.
Ngoba kakukho okufihliweyo okungayi kudazululwa, njalo akukho okuthukuziweyo okungayikwaziwa kumbe kuvezwe obala.
18 Choncho ganizirani mozama. Iye amene ali nazo adzapatsidwa zambiri, iye amene alibe, ngakhale chimene akuganiza kuti ali nacho adzalandidwa.”
Ngakho nanzelelani ukuthi lilalela kanjani. Lowo olakho uzakwengezelelwa; lowo ongelakho lalokho athi ulakho uzakwemukwa.”
19 Tsopano amayi ndi abale a Yesu anabwera kudzamuona Iye, koma analephera kuti afike pafupi ndi Iye chifukwa cha gulu la anthu.
Unina kaJesu labafowabo beza ukuzambona, kodwa behluleka ukufinyelela kuye ngenxa yokuminyana kwabantu.
20 Wina anamuwuza Iye kuti, “Amayi ndi abale anu ayima kunja, akufuna kukuonani.”
Omunye wamtshela wathi, “Unyoko labafowenu bakulindele phandle, bafuna ukukubona.”
21 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Amayi ndi abale anga ndi amene amamva mawu a Mulungu ndi kumachita zimene mawuwo akunena.”
Waphendula wathi, “Umama labafowethu yilabo abalizwayo ilizwi likaNkulunkulu balenze.”
22 Tsiku lina Yesu anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Tiyeni tiwolokere tsidya lina la nyanja.” Ndipo analowa mʼbwato nanyamuka.
Ngelinye ilanga uJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe, “Kasiyeni ngaphetsheya kwechibi.” Basebengena esikepeni bahamba.
23 Akuwoloka, Iye anagona tulo. Namondwe wamkulu anayamba pa nyanja, ndipo bwatolo linayamba kudzaza ndi madzi ndipo anali pa chiopsezo chachikulu.
Bathe belokhu behamba yena walala. Kwafika isiphepho echibini isikepe saqalisa ukugalula, baba sengozini embi.
24 Ophunzira anapita ndi kukamudzutsa Iye, nati, “Ambuye, Ambuye, ife tikumira!” Anadzuka ndipo anadzudzula mphepo ndi madzi owindukawo. Namondwe anasiya, ndipo panali bata.
Abafundi bahamba bayamvusa besithi, “Nkosi, Nkosi, sesigalula bo!” Wavuka wawukhuza umoya kanye lamagagasi; isiphepho sadeda, kwasekuthula cwaka.
25 Iye anafunsa ophunzira ake kuti, “Chikhulupiriro chanu chili kuti?” Koma pogwidwa ndi mantha ndi kudabwa anafunsana wina ndi mnzake kuti, “Uyu ndi ndani? Iye alamulira ngakhale mphepo ndi madzi, ndipo zimumvera Iye.”
Wababuza abafundi bakhe, wathi, “Kungaphi ukukholwa kwenu?” Babuzana ngokumangala lokwesaba bathi, “Kanti ungubani lo? Ukhuza kanye lomoya lamanzi kumlalele.”
26 Iwo anawolokera ku chigawo cha Gerasa chimene chili tsidya lina la nyanja kuchokera ku Galileya.
Bagwedla isikepe baya emangweni wamaGerazini, okungaphetsheya kwechibi kusuka eGalile.
27 Yesu ataponda pa mtunda, anakumana ndi munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwanda wochokera mu mzindawo. Kwa nthawi yayitali munthuyu sanavale zovala kapena kukhala mʼnyumba, koma amakhala ku manda.
Kwathi uJesu esehla okhunjini wahlangabezwa yindoda eyayiledimoni iqhamuka ngasedolobheni. Indoda le yayisilesikhathi eside ingavunuli zigqoko, ingahlali endlini, kodwa ihlala emathuneni.
28 Iye ataona Yesu, anakuwa nagwa pa mapazi ake akufuwula kwambiri kuti, “Mukufuna chiyani ndi ine, Yesu Mwana wa Mulungu Wammwambamwamba? Ndikupemphani Inu, musandizunze ine!”
Yathi ibona uJesu yahlaba umkhosi yazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe iklabalala ngelizwi elikhulu isithi, “Ufuna ukungenzani, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngiyakuncenga, ungaze wangihlukuluza!”
29 Pakuti Yesu analamula mzimu woyipawo kuti utuluke mwa munthuyo. Kawirikawiri umamugwira iye, ndipo ngakhale anali womangidwa ndi unyolo dzanja ndi mwendo ndi kuti ankamuyangʼanira, koma amadula maunyolo akewo ndipo ziwanda zimamutengera kumalo a yekha.
Ngoba uJesu wayeseyale umoya omubi ukuthi uphume kuleyondoda. Izikhathi ezinengi wawumbamba, kuthi loba ebotshwe ngamaketane ezandleni lezinyaweni njalo elindiwe, wayewaqamula amaketane idimoni limuse enkangala.
30 Yesu anamufunsa kuti, “Dzina lako ndani?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Legiyo,” chifukwa ziwanda zambiri zinalowa mwa iye.
UJesu wambuza wathi, “Ungubani ibizo lakho?” Waphendula wathi, “NginguLigiyoni,” ngoba amadimoni amanengi ayengene kuye.
Amncenga ukuthi angawalayi ukuthi ayewolokohlela emgodini ongelamkhawulo. (Abyssos g12)
32 Gulu lalikulu la nkhumba limadya pamenepo mʼmbali mwa phiri. Ziwandazo zinamupempha Yesu kuti azilole kuti zikalowe mu nkhumbazo ndipo Iye anazilola.
Umhlambi omkhulu wengulube wawusidla khonapho eceleni koqaqa. Amadimoni amncenga uJesu ukuthi awavumele ukuyangena engulubeni, laye wawavumela.
33 Ziwanda zija zitatuluka mwa munthuyo, zinakalowa mwa nkhumbazo, ndipo gulu lonselo linathamangira ku mtsetse ndi kukalowa mʼnyanja ndi kumira.
Amadimoni aphuma endodeni ayangena ezingulubeni, umhlambi wathi zimu usehlela eliweni lodonga wangena echibini wagalula.
34 Oweta nkhumbazo ataona zimene zinachitikazo, anathamanga ndi kukanena izi mu mzinda ndi ku madera a ku midzi.
Labo ababezelusile bonela ukubona okwasekwenzakele babaleka bayabika edolobheni lemangweni wakhona,
35 Ndipo anthu anapita kukaona zimene zinachitika. Atafika kwa Yesu, anapeza munthu amene anatulutsidwa ziwanda uja atakhala pa mapazi a Yesu, atavala ndipo ali ndi nzeru zake; ndipo iwo anachita mantha.
abantu basebeqonda khonale ukuyabona okwasekwenzakele. Bathi befika kuJesu bayifumana indoda okwakukhutshwe kuyo amadimoni ihlezi ezinyaweni zikaJesu, igqokile njalo ingqondo isibuyile; besaba kakhulu.
36 Amene anaona izi anawuza anthu mmene munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwandayo anachiritsidwira.
Labo ababebonile kusenzakala batshela abantu ukuthi indoda eyayiphethwe lidimoni yasiliswa njani.
37 Kenaka anthu onse a ku chigawo cha Gerasa anamupempha Yesu kuti achoke kwa iwo, chifukwa anadzazidwa ndi mantha. Choncho Iye analowa mʼbwato nachoka.
Kwasekusithi bonke abantu bomango wamaGerazini bamcela uJesu ukuthi kasuke kubo ngoba babekhulelwa yikwesaba. Ngakho wangena esikepeni wahamba.
38 Munthu amene anatulutsidwa ziwanda uja, anapempha Yesu kuti apite nawo, koma Yesu anamubweza nati,
Indoda leyo eyakhutshwa amadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ahambe layo, kodwa uJesu wala wathi,
39 “Bwerera kwanu kafotokoze zimene Mulungu wakuchitira.” Ndipo munthuyo anachoka ndi kukanena ku mzinda wonsewo zimene Yesu anamuchitira iye.
“Buyela ekhaya uyefakaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukwenzeleni.” Yikho indoda yahamba yafakaza kulolonke idolobho konke uJesu ayeyenzele khona.
40 Yesu atabwerera, gulu lalikulu la anthu linamulandira, chifukwa onse ankamuyembekezera.
Kwathi uJesu esebuyile wahlangabezwa lixuku labantu elikhulu, ngoba bonke babemlindele.
41 Nthawi yomweyo munthu wotchedwa Yairo, woweruza wa mu sunagoge, anabwera ndi kugwa pa mapazi a Yesu, namupempha Iye kuti apite ku nyumba kwake,
Indoda eyayithiwa nguJayirosi, umbusi wesinagogu, yeza yazilahla ezinyaweni zikaJesu, imncenga ukuthi eze endlini yayo
42 chifukwa mwana wake yekhayo wamkazi, kamtsikana ka zaka khumi ndi ziwiri, kanali pafupi kufa. Pamene Yesu ankapita gulu la anthu linkamupanikiza.
ngoba indodakazi yayo eyodwa zwi, intombazana eyayileminyaka elitshumi lambili, yayisifa. Kwathi uJesu esesiya khona abantu baminyezela ingathi bazampatshaza.
43 Ndipo pomwepo panali mayi wina amene ankataya magazi kwa zaka khumi ndi ziwiri, koma panalibe wina akanamuchiritsa.
Khonapho kwakulowesifazane owayeseleminyaka elitshumi lambili esopha kodwa kungekho owayengamelapha.
44 Iye anafika kumbuyo kwake ndi kukhudza mothera mwa chovala chake, ndipo nthawi yomweyo magazi ake analeka kutuluka.
Weza ngemva kukaJesu wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe, masinyane nje ukopha kwahle kwaphela.
45 Yesu anafunsa kuti, “Wandikhudza ndani?” Onse atakana, Petro anati, “Anthu akukupanikizani ndi kukukankhani.”
UJesu wabuza wathi, “Ngubani ongithintileyo?” Kwathi ngoba bonke bephika uPhethro wathi, “Nkosi, abantu bayaminyezelana besondela kuwe.”
46 Koma Yesu anati, “Wina wandikhudza; ndikudziwa chifukwa mphamvu yachoka mwa Ine.”
Kodwa uJesu wathi, “Ukhona ongithintileyo; ngiyazi ukuthi amandla aphumile kimi.”
47 Ndipo mayiyo podziwa kuti sanathe kuchoka wosadziwika, anabwera akunjenjemera ndipo anagwa pa mapazi a Yesu. Pamaso pa anthu onse, anafotokoza chifukwa chimene anamukhudzira Iye ndi mmene iye anachiritsidwira nthawi yomweyo.
Owesifazane esebone ukuthi uzacina eboniwe weza ethuthumela wazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe. Wachaza phambi kwabantu bonke ukuthi kungani wayemthintile uJesu lokuthi wasiliswa njani masinyane.
48 Kenaka anati kwa iye, “Mwana wamkazi, chikhulupiriro chako chakuchiritsa. Pita mu mtendere.”
UJesu wasesithi kuye, “Ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusilisile. Hamba ngokuthula.”
49 Pamene Yesu ankayankhulabe, munthu wina anabwera kuchokera ku nyumba ya Yairo, woweruza wa ku sunagoge uja. Iye anati, “Mwana wanu wa mkazi wamwalira, musawavutitsenso Aphunzitsiwa.”
Kwathi uJesu elokhu esakhuluma omunye weza evela endlini kaJayirasi umphathi wesinagogu, wafika wathi, “Indodakazi yakho isifile. Ungabe usamhlupha umfundisi.”
50 Atamva zimenezi, Yesu anati kwa Yairo, “Usachite mantha, ingokhulupirira basi ndipo adzachiritsidwa.”
UJesu wathi ekuzwa lokhu wathi kuJayirasi, “Ungesabi, kholwa nje kuphela, izasiliswa.”
51 Iye atafika ku nyumba ya Yairo, sanalole wina aliyense kulowa kupatula Petro, Yohane, ndi Yakobo ndi abambo ndi amayi a mwanayo.
Wathi esefikile endlini kaJayirasi, kavumelanga muntu ukuthi angene laye ngaphandle kukaPhethro, uJohane loJakhobe, kanye loyise womntwana lonina.
52 Pa nthawiyi nʼkuti anthu onse akubuma ndi kumulirira iye. Yesu anati, “Lekani kulira, sanafe koma wagona tulo.”
Ngalesosikhathi abantu bonke babeqhinqa isililo bekhalela intombazana. UJesu wathi kubo, “Thulani, lingakhali. Kafanga kodwa ulele.”
53 Iwo anamuseka podziwa kuti anali atamwalira.
Bamhleka usulu uJesu ngoba besazi ukuthi intombazana yayisifile.
54 Koma Iye anamugwira dzanja lake ndipo anati, “Mwana wanga, dzuka!”
Kodwa wayibamba ngesandla wathi, “Mntanami, vuka!”
55 Mzimu wake unabwerera, ndipo nthawi yomweyo anayimirira. Kenaka Yesu anawawuza kuti amupatse chakudya.
Umoya wayo wabuya, masinyane yasukuma yathi lothu! UJesu wasesithi kabamnike ukudla.
56 Makolo ake anadabwa, koma Iye anawalamulira kuti asawuze wina aliyense zimene zinachitikazo.
Abazali bakhe bamangala, kodwa wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ngalokho okwakwenzakele.
