Κατα Λουκαν 18
1 Ἔλεγεν δὲ παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς, πρὸς τὸ δεῖν πάντοτε προσεύχεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ μὴ ἐγκακεῖν
Wasebatshela lomfanekiso esenzela ukuthi bafanele ukukhuleka isikhathi sonke, njalo bengadinwa,
2 λέγων, “Κριτής τις ἦν ἔν τινι πόλει, τὸν ˚Θεὸν μὴ φοβούμενος καὶ ἄνθρωπον μὴ ἐντρεπόμενος.
wathi: Kwakukhona emzini othile umahluleli othile, owayengesabi uNkulunkulu, njalo engahloniphi muntu;
3 Χήρα δὲ ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα, ‘Ἐκδίκησόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου μου.’
kwakukhona futhi kulowomuzi umfelokazi othile, njalo wayefika kuye, esithi: Ngiphindiselele esitheni sami.
4 Καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν ἐπὶ χρόνον, μετὰ ταῦτα δὲ εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, ‘Εἰ καὶ τὸν ˚Θεὸν οὐ φοβοῦμαι οὐδὲ ἄνθρωπον ἐντρέπομαι,
Kodwa kavumanga okwesikhathi; kodwa emva kwalezizinto wathi ngaphakathi kwakhe: Lanxa ngingamesabi uNkulunkulu, ngingahloniphi muntu,
5 διά γε τὸ παρέχειν μοι κόπον τὴν χήραν ταύτην, ἐκδικήσω αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη ὑπωπιάζῃ με.’”
kodwa ngoba lumfelokazi engikhathaza, ngizamphindiselela, hlezi angaze ekucineni angidinise.
6 Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ ˚Κύριος, “Ἀκούσατε τί ὁ κριτὴς τῆς ἀδικίας λέγει.
INkosi yasisithi: Zwanini umahluleli ongalunganga akutshoyo.
7 Ὁ δὲ ˚Θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ, τῶν βοώντων αὐτῷ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ μακροθυμεῖ ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς;
Kanti uNkulunkulu kayikwenza impindiselo yabakhethiweyo bakhe abakhalayo kuye emini lebusuku, lanxa ebekezela ngabo?
8 Λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ποιήσει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν ἐν τάχει. Πλὴν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν, ἆρα εὑρήσει τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;”
Ngiyalitshela ukuthi uzahle enze impindiselo yabo. Kodwa-ke nxa iNdodana yomuntu ifika, izathola ukholo yini emhlabeni?
9 Εἶπεν δὲ καὶ πρός τινας τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐφʼ ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι εἰσὶν δίκαιοι καὶ ἐξουθενοῦντες τοὺς λοιποὺς, τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην:
Wasekhuluma lumfanekiso lakwabathile ababezithemba ukuthi balungile, futhi bedelela abanye, wathi:
10 “Ἄνθρωποι δύο ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσεύξασθαι, ὁ εἷς Φαρισαῖος, καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τελώνης.
Abantu ababili benyukela ethempelini ukuyakhuleka; omunye engumFarisi, lomunye engumthelisi.
11 Ὁ Φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς ταῦτα πρὸς ἑαυτὸν προσηύχετο: ‘Ὁ ˚Θεός, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης.
UmFarisi wema wazikhulekela kanje wathi: Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ukuthi kanginjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, abangalunganga, izifebe, loba lanjengalumthelisi.
12 Νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατεύω πάντα, ὅσα κτῶμαι.’
Ngizila ukudla kabili ngeviki, nginikela okwetshumi kwakho konke engikuzuzayo.
13 Ὁ δὲ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς, οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπᾶραι εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ἀλλʼ ἔτυπτεν τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ λέγων, ‘Ὁ ˚Θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι, τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ!’
Kodwa umthelisi emi khatshana wayengathandi lokuphakamisela amehlo ezulwini, kodwa watshaya isifuba sakhe, esithi: Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele mina soni.
14 Λέγω ὑμῖν, κατέβη οὗτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, παρʼ ἐκεῖνον. Ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.”
Ngithi kini: Lo wehlela endlini yakhe elungisisiwe kulalowayana; ngoba wonke oziphakamisayo uzathotshiswa, kodwa ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.
15 Προσέφερον δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ τὰ βρέφη, ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅπτηται· ἰδόντες δὲ, οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμων αὐτοῖς.
Basebeletha kuye lensane, ukuze azibambe; kodwa abafundi bekubona babakhuza.
16 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς προσεκαλέσατο αὐτὰ λέγων, “Ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με, καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά, τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
Kodwa uJesu wazibizela kuye wathi: Vumelani abantwana abancane beze kimi, lingabenqabeli, ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanje.
17 Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἂν μὴ δέξηται τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.”
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Loba ngubani ongemukeli umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane, kasoze angene kuwo.
18 Καὶ ἐπηρώτησέν τις αὐτὸν ἄρχων λέγων, “Διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσας, ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;” (aiōnios g166)
Umbusi othile wasembuza, esithi: Mfundisi olungileyo, ngenzeni ukuze ngidle ilifa lempilo elaphakade? (aiōnios g166)
19 Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; Οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς, εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ ˚Θεός.
Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Ungibizelani ngokuthi olungileyo? Kakho olungileyo, ngaphandle koyedwa, uNkulunkulu.
20 Τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας: ‘Μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, μὴ φονεύσῃς, μὴ κλέψῃς, μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς’, ‘Τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα.’”
Uyayazi imilayo ethi: Ungafebi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.
21 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Ταῦτα πάντα ἐφύλαξα ἐκ νεότητος μου.”
Yena wasesithi: Konke lokhu ngikugcinile kusukela ebutsheni bami.
22 Ἀκούσας δὲ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει· πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις, πώλησον καὶ διάδος πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, καὶ δεῦρο, ἀκολούθει μοι.”
Kodwa uJesu esizwa lezizinto wathi kuye: Usaswele ulutho olulodwa; thengisa konke olakho, wabele abayanga, njalo uzakuba lempahla eligugu ezulwini; njalo uze lapha ungilandele.
23 Ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας ταῦτα, περίλυπος ἐγενήθη, ἦν γὰρ πλούσιος σφόδρα.
Kodwa yena esizwa lezizinto wadana kakhulu; ngoba wayenothile kakhulu.
24 Ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες, εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ εἰσελεύσονται.
Kwathi uJesu ebona ukuthi usedane kakhulu wathi: Abalenotho bazangena ngokulukhuni kangakanani embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
25 Εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ τρήματος βελόνης εἰσελθεῖν, ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν.”
Ngoba kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene ngentunja yenalithi, kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
26 Εἶπον δὲ οἱ ἀκούσαντες, “Καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι;”
Abakuzwayo basebesithi: Pho kungasindiswa bani?
27 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Τὰ ἀδύνατα παρὰ ἀνθρώποις, δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ ˚Θεῷ ἐστιν.”
Kodwa yena wathi: Izinto ezingenzekiyo ebantwini ziyenzeka kuNkulunkulu.
28 Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Πέτρος, “Ἰδοὺ, ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν πάντα καὶ ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι.”
UPetro wasesithi: Khangela, thina sitshiye konke, sakulandela.
29 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν, ἢ γυναῖκα, ἢ ἀδελφοὺς, ἢ γονεῖς, ἢ τέκνα, εἵνεκεν τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ,
Wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kakho umuntu otshiye indlu, kumbe abazali, kumbe abafowabo, kumbe umkakhe, kumbe abantwana, ngenxa yombuso kaNkulunkulu,
31 Παραλαβὼν δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα, εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Ἰδοὺ, ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ τελεσθήσεται πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα διὰ τῶν προφητῶν τῷ Υἱῷ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου.
Wasezithathela abalitshumi lambili, wathi kubo: Khangelani, senyukela eJerusalema, futhi konke okulotshiweyo ngabaprofethi ngeNdodana yomuntu kuzagcwaliseka.
32 Παραδοθήσεται γὰρ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, καὶ ἐμπαιχθήσεται, καὶ ὑβρισθήσεται, καὶ ἐμπτυσθήσεται.
Ngoba izanikelwa kwabezizwe, iyangiswe, ithukwe, ikhafulelwe ngamathe,
33 Καὶ μαστιγώσαντες, ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ἀναστήσεται.”
bayitshaye ngesiswepu bayibulale; njalo ngosuku lwesithathu izabuya ivuke.
34 Καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐδὲν τούτων συνῆκαν, καὶ ἦν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κεκρυμμένον ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον τὰ λεγόμενα.
Kodwa bona kabaqedisisanga lutho ngalezizinto, lalinkulumo yayifihlakele kubo, njalo kabaziqedisisanga izinto ezazitshiwo.
35 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰεριχὼ, τυφλός τις ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἐπαιτῶν.
Kwasekusithi esesondela eJeriko, isiphofu esithile sasihlezi eceleni kwendlela siphanza;
36 Ἀκούσας δὲ ὄχλου διαπορευομένου, ἐπυνθάνετο τί εἴη τοῦτο.
sathi sisizwa ixuku lisedlula, sabuza ukuthi kuyini lokho.
37 Ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτῷ, ὅτι “˚Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος παρέρχεται.”
Basebesitshela bathi: UJesu weNazaretha uyedlula.
38 Καὶ ἐβόησεν λέγων, “˚Ἰησοῦ, Υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.”
Sasesimemeza, sisithi: Jesu, Ndodana kaDavida, ngihawukela!
39 Καὶ οἱ προάγοντες ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ ἵνα σιγήσῃ. Αὐτὸς δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν, “Υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.”
Ababehamba phambili basebesikhuza ukuthi sithule; kodwa samemeza kakhulukazi, sisithi: Ndodana kaDavida, ngihawukele!
40 Σταθεὶς δὲ, ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ἀχθῆναι πρὸς αὐτόν. Ἐγγίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ, ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν,
UJesu wema-ke walaya ukuthi silethwe kuye; sathi sesisondele wasibuza,
41 “Τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω;” Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “˚Κύριε, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.”
esithi: Ufuna ukuthi ngikwenzeleni? Sasesisithi: Nkosi, ukuthi ngibuye ngibone.
42 Καὶ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἀνάβλεψον· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε.”
UJesu wasesithi kuso: Buya ubone! Ukholo lwakho lukusindisile.
43 Καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνέβλεψεν, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ, δοξάζων τὸν ˚Θεόν. Καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἰδὼν, ἔδωκεν αἶνον τῷ ˚Θεῷ.
Njalo sahle sabuya sabona, samlandela, sidumisa uNkulunkulu; labantu bonke bekubona badumisa uNkulunkulu.
