Luke 6
1 Now it happened on the second chief Sabbath that he was going through the grain fields. His talmidim plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
Kwasekusithi ngesabatha lesibili lakuqala edabula emasimini amabele, abafundi bakhe bakha izikhwebu, badla, bezihlikihla ngezandla.
2 But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
Kodwa abathile babaFarisi bathi kubo: Lenzelani okungavunyelwa ukwenziwa ngensuku zesabatha?
3 Yeshua, answering them, said, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
UJesu wasebaphendula, wathi: Alifundanga lalokho yini, uDavida akwenzayo, mhla elambile yena lababelaye,
4 how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the cohanim alone?"
ukuthi wayangena njani endlini kaNkulunkulu, wathatha izinkwa zokubukiswa, wasesidla, wanika lalabo ababelaye; ezingavunyelwa ukudliwa ngaphandle kwabapristi bodwa?
5 He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."
Wasesithi kubo: INdodana yomuntu iyiNkosi leyesabatha.
6 It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
Kwasekusithi langelinye isabatha wangena esinagogeni, wafundisa; njalo kwakukhona umuntu lapho, osandla sakhe sokunene sasitshwabhene.
7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
Ababhali labaFarisi basebemqaphela, ukuthi uzasilisa ngesabatha yini; ukuze bathole okokumbeka icala.
8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Rise up, and stand in the middle." He arose and stood.
Kodwa wayazi imicabango yabo, wathi kumuntu olesandla esitshwabheneyo: Sukuma, ume phakathi. Wasukuma-ke wema.
9 Then Yeshua said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to destroy it?"
UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngizalibuza ulutho: Kuvunyelwe yini ngamasabatha ukwenza okulungileyo kumbe ukwenza okubi? Ukusindisa impilo kumbe ukuchitha?
10 He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored.
Wasebathalaza bonke, wathi kumuntu: Yelula isandla sakho. Wasesenza njalo. Isandla sakhe sasesisiliswa saphila njengesinye.
11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Yeshua.
Basebegcwala ubuhlanya; bakhulumisana omunye komunye, ukuthi bangamenzani uJesu.
12 It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku waphuma waya entabeni ukuyakhuleka; wahlala ubusuku bonke ekukhulekeni kuNkulunkulu.
13 When it was day, he called his talmidim, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named emissaries:
Kwathi sekusile, wabizela kuye abafundi bakhe; wakhetha kubo abalitshumi lambili, ababiza futhi ngokuthi ngabaphostoli;
14 Shim'on, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and Jacob and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;
uSimoni laye ambiza ngokuthi nguPetro, loAndreya umfowabo, uJakobe loJohane, uFiliphu loBartolomewu,
15 and Matthew and Thomas; and Jacob the son of Halfai, Shim'on, who was called the Zealot;
uMathewu loTomasi, uJakobe okaAlfewu, loSimoni owayethiwa ngumZelothi,
16 and Judah the son of Jacob, and Judah the Iskriot, who became a traitor.
uJudasi kaJakobe, loJudasi Iskariyothi, laye owaba ngumnikeli.
17 He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a large crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
Wasesehla labo, wema esigcawini, lexuku labafundi bakhe, lexuku elikhulu labantu abavela kuyo yonke iJudiya leJerusalema, langaselwandle lweTire leSidoni, ababezile ukumuzwa, lokusiliswa ezifweni zabo;
18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
lalabo ababekhathazwa ngomoya abangcolileyo, basebesiliswa.
19 All the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
Lexuku lonke ladinga ukumthinta; ngoba kwaphuma amandla kuye, asebasilisa bonke.
20 He lifted up his eyes to his talmidim, and said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.
Yena wasephakamisela amehlo akhe kubafundi bakhe wathi: Libusisiwe, bayanga, ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowenu.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Libusisiwe, lina elilambileyo khathesi, ngoba lizasuthiswa. Libusisiwe, lina elikhalayo khathesi, ngoba lizahleka.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.
Libusisiwe, nxa abantu belizonda, njalo nxa belehlukanisa, belithuka, belahla ibizo lenu ngokungathi libi, ngenxa yeNdodana yomuntu.
23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for look, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
Thokozani ngalolosuku leqe ngokuthokoza; ngoba khangelani, umvuzo wenu mkhulu ezulwini; ngoba oyise benza njalo kubaprofethi.
24 "But woe to you who are rich. For you have received your consolation.
Kodwa maye kini lina elinothileyo! Ngoba seliyemukele induduzo yenu.
25 Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Maye kini, lina elisuthiyo! Ngoba lizalamba. Maye kini, lina elihlekayo khathesi! Ngoba lizalila, likhale.
26 Woe when all people speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
Maye kini, nxa abantu bonke bekhuluma kuhle ngani! Ngoba oyise babesenza njalo kubaprofethi bamanga.
27 "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
Kodwa ngithi kini elizwayo: Thandani izitha zenu, lenze okuhle kwabalizondayo,
28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
libusise abaliqalekisayo, libakhulekele abaliphatha kubi.
29 To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt either.
Okutshaya esihlathini, mnike lesinye; lokwemuka isembatho sakho, ungali lesigqoko sakho.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
Kodwa mnike wonke ocela kuwe; lokwemuka okwakho, ungabuyi ukubize kuye.
31 And as you would like people to do to you, you also do the same to them.
Njalo njengalokho lithanda ukuthi abantu benze kini, lani yenzani njalo kubo.
32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
Njalo uba lithanda labo abalithandayo, yikubongwa bani elilakho? Ngoba lezoni zithanda labo abazithandayo.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Njalo uba lisenza okuhle kulabo abenza okuhle kini, yikubongwa bani elilakho? Ngoba lezoni zenza okufananayo.
34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
Futhi uba liseboleka labo elithemba ukwemukela kubo, yikubongwa bani elilakho? Ngoba lezoni zeboleka izoni, ukuze zemukele izinto ezifananayo.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
Kodwa thandani izitha zenu, lenze okuhle, leboleke, lingalindeli lutho olubuyiselwayo; lomvuzo wenu uzakuba mkhulu, njalo libe ngabantwana boPhezukonke; ngoba yena ulobubele kwabangabongiyo lababi.
36 Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
Ngakho banini lesihawu, njengoba laye uYihlo elesihawu.
37 Do not judge, and you won't be judged. Do not condemn, and you won't be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Lingahluleli, njalo alisoze lahlulelwe; lingalahli, njalo alisoze lilahlwe; thethelelani, njalo lizathethelelwa;
38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."
phanini, lani lizaphiwa; isilinganiso esihle, sigqitshiwe sahlukuzwa, siphuphuma, bazalipha esifubeni. Ngoba ngalesosilinganiso elilinganisa ngaso lizalinganiselwa ngaso futhi.
39 He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the blind? Won't they both fall into a pit?
Wasebatshela umfanekiso wokuthi: Kambe isiphofu singakhokhela isiphofu yini? Kabayikuwela bobabili emgodini yini?
40 A talmid is not above the teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
Umfundi kamkhulu kulomfundisi wakhe; kodwa wonke opheleleyo uzakuba njengomfundisi wakhe.
41 And why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Njalo ukhangelelani ucezwana oluselihlweni lomfowenu, kodwa ungalunanzeleli ugodo olukwelakho ilihlo?
42 Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite. First remove the log from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye.
Kumbe ungatsho njani kumfowenu ukuthi: Mfowethu, kahle ngikhuphe ucezwana oluselihlweni lakho, wena ungaluboni ugodo oluselihlweni lakho? Mzenzisi, qala ukhuphe ugodo elihlweni lakho, khona-ke uzabona kuhle ukukhupha ucezwana oluselihlweni lomfowenu.
43 For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
Ngoba kayisiso isihlahla esihle esithela isithelo esibi; futhi kayisiso isihlahla esibi esithela isithelo esihle.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
Ngoba yileso laleso isihlahla saziwa ngesaso isithelo. Ngoba kabaseli imikhiwa emeveni, futhi kakukhiwa isithelo sevini evikaneni.
45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
Umuntu olungileyo uveza okulungileyo kokuligugu elilungileyo lenhliziyo yakhe, lomuntu omubi uveza okubi kokuligugu elibi lenhliziyo yakhe; ngoba umlomo wakhe ukhuluma ngokugcwala kwenhliziyo.
46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?
Kodwa lingibizelani ngokuthi: Nkosi, Nkosi, kodwa lingazenzi izinto engizitshoyo?
47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.
Wonke oza kimi awezwe amazwi ami njalo awenze, ngizalitshengisa ukuthi ufanana lobani;
48 He is like someone building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
ufanana lomuntu owakha indlu, wagebha watshonisa, wabeka isisekelo phezu kwedwala; kwathi ekufikeni kwempophoma, umfula watshaya kuleyondlu, kodwa wawungelamandla okuyinyikinya; ngoba yayisekelwe phezu kwedwala.
49 But he who hears, and does not do, is like someone who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
Kodwa owezwayo njalo angawenzi unjengomuntu owakha indlu emhlabathini ingelasisekelo; umfula wayitshaya, njalo yahle yawa, futhi kwaba kukhulu ukudilika kwaleyondlu.
