Luka 14
1 Jhatokili ligono lya sabato, bho ilota kunyumba kwa mmonga ghwa bhalongosi bha Mafarisayo kulya n'kate, nabhene bhakajha bhakan'chunghuza kwa karibu.
Kwasekusithi ekungeneni kwakhe ngesabatha endlini yomunye wabakhulu kubaFarisi ukuthi adle isinkwa, bona basebemqaphela.
2 Langayi, palongo pa muene ajhele munu ambajhe isumbulibhwa ni uvimbe.
Njalo khangela, kwakukhona umuntu othile phambi kwakhe owayelombizankulu.
3 Yesu akakota bhataalamu mu sheria sya bhayahudi ni Mafarisayo, “Je, ni halali kumponya ligono lya sabato, au lepi?”
UJesu wasephendula wakhuluma lezazumthetho labaFarisi, wathi: Kuvunyelwe yini ukusilisa ngesabatha?
4 Lakini bhene bhajhele kinunu, kwa hiyo Yesu akan'kamula, ni kumponya ni kundeka alotayi.
Kodwa bathula. Wasembamba wamsilisa wamyekela ukuthi ahambe.
5 Nimuene akabhajobhela, “Niani kati jha muenga ajhe ni muana au ng'ombi idumbukila mu ligono lya sabato akamfuta lepi kwibhala mara moja?”
Wasebaphendula esithi: Nguwuphi kini ongathi elobabhemi kumbe inkabi yakhe ewele emgodini, futhi angahle ayikhuphe ngosuku lwesabatha?
6 Bhene bhajhelepi ni uwezo bhwa kuhomesya lijibu kwa mambo agha.
Abasazange babuyisele impendulo kuye ngalezizinto.
7 Wakati Yesu agunduili jinsi bhala bhabhaalikibhu kwamba bhachaguili fiti fya heshima, akabhajobhela mfano, akajobha,
Wasekhuluma umfanekiso kubo abanxusiweyo, ebona ukuthi bakhetha njani izihlalo zabahloniphekayo, wathi kubo:
8 “Wakati pa mwialikibhwa ni munu pa harusi, usitami mu nafasi sya heshima, kwandabha jhibhwesekana aalikibhu munu ambajhe ndo wakuheshimibhwa nesu kuliko bhebhe.
Nxa unxusiwe ngumuntu emtshadweni, ungahlali esihlalweni sabahloniphekayo; hlezi kukhona omkhulu kulawe onxusiweyo nguye,
9 Wakati munu jheabhaaliki muenga bhabhele akafikayi, ibeta kujobhela bhebhe, “mpishayi munu ojho nafasi jhe bhebhe,” ni kisha kwa soni wibetakutola nafasi jha mwishu.
futhi okunxusileyo wena laye eze athi kuwe: Mxekele lo; khona uzaqala ukuhlala endaweni esekucineni usulenhloni.
10 Lakini bhebhe ukaalikibhwayi, lotayi ukatamayi mahali pa mwishu, ili wakati jhola jhaakualiki akahidayi abhwesiajhi kukujobhela bhebhe, `Rafiki, lotayi palongolo nesu.” Ndipo wibeta kujha uheshimiki mbele jha bhoha bhabhatamili pamonga ni bhebhe pa meza.
Kodwa nxa unxusiwe, hamba uhlale endaweni esekucineni; ukuze, nxa efika okunxusileyo, athi kuwe: Mngane, yenyukela ngaphezulu; khona kuzakuba ludumo kuwe phambi kwabo abahlezi ekudleni lawe.
11 Kwandabha khila jhaikikweza iselesibhwa na haikiselesya ikwesibhwa.'
Ngoba wonke oziphakamisayo uzathotshiswa, lozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.
12 Yesu kabhele akan'jobhela munu jhaamwaliki,'pawihomesya kyakulya kya pamusi au kimihi, usibihaaliki rafiki zako au bhalongobhu au jamaa bhajhobhi au majirani bha jhabhi matajiri, ili kwamba bhene bhasihidi kukualika ni bhebhe ukakabhe malipo.
Wasesithi lakulowo owayemnxusile: Nxa usenza ukudla kwemini loba ukudla kwantambama, unganxusi abangane bakho, loba abafowenu, loba izihlobo zakho, loba omakhelwane abanothileyo; hlezi labo babuye bakunxuse, futhi ukwenananiswa kwenziwe kuwe.
13 Badala jhieke, pawibhomba sherehe, bhaalikayi maskini, filema, fiwete ni fipofu,
Kodwa nxa usenza idili, nxusa abayanga, izilima, iziqhuli, iziphofu;
14 ni bhebhe wibetakujha kubarikibhwa, kwandabha bhibhwesya lepi kulepa. kwandabha wibeta kulepibhwa mu ufufuo bhwa bhenye.”
njalo uzabusiswa, ngoba abalalutho lokukwenanisa; ngoba uzakwenaniselwa ekuvukeni kwabalungileyo.
15 Wakati mmonga ghwa bhale bhabhatamili pameza pamonga ni Yesu bho apeliki aghu, ni muene akanijobhela, “Abarikibhu jhola jhaibetekulya n'kate mu Ufalme bhwa k'yara!”
Kwathi omunye kwababehlezi laye ekudleni esezwile lezizinto wathi kuye: Ubusisiwe lowo ozakudla isinkwa embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
16 Lakini Yesu akan'jobhela, “munu mmonga aandele sherehe mbaha, aaliki bhanu bhamehele.
Kodwa wathi kuye: Umuntu othile wenza ukudla kwantambama okukhulu, wanxusa abanengi.
17 Wakati sherehe bho ijhe tayari, akandaghisya mtumishi ghwa muene kubhajobhela bhela bhaalikwa, “Muhidayi, kwandabha fenu fyoha fimalili kubhekibhwa tayari.'
Ngesikhathi sokudla kwantambama wasethuma inceku yakhe ukuthi ithi kwabanxusiweyo: Wozani, ngoba sekulungisiwe konke.
18 Bhoha, bhakajhanda kus'oma radhi. Wa kwanza akan'jobhela mtumishi, 'Nihemili n'gonda, lazima nilotayi kulilola. Tafadhali unisamee.'
Kodwa bonke baqala omunye lomunye ukuzixolisela. Owokuqala wathi kuye: Ngithenge insimu, ngimele ukuhamba ngiyeyibona; ngiyakuncenga, akungixolisele.
19 Na jhongi akajobha, Nihemili Jozi sihanu sya ng'ombi, ni nene nilotakubhajaribu. Tafadhali uniwie radhi.'
Lomunye wathi: Sengithenge izipane ezinhlanu zenkabi, ngiya ukuzilinga; ngiyakuncenga, akungixolisele.
20 Ni munu jhongi akajobha, 'Nigegili n'dala, henu nibhwesya lepi kuhida.'
Lomunye wathi: Sengithethe umfazi, ngakho ngingeze ngeza.
21 Mtumishi akakerebhuka ni kun'jobhela mtumishi ghwa muene,'Lotayi manyata mitaani ni mufichochoro fya miji ukabhaletayi apa maskini, filema, fipofu ni bhalemavu.”
Isibuyile leyonceku yayibikela lezizinto inkosi yayo. Wasethukuthela umninindlu wathi encekwini yakhe: Phuma ngokuphangisa uye emigwaqweni lendleleni zomuzi, ulethe abayanga lezilima leziqhuli leziphofu ubangenise lapha.
22 Mtumishi akajobha, Bwana, aghu gha ulaghisij ghaamali kukhomboka, hata henu nafasi khona.'
Inceku yasisithi: Nkosi, sekwenziwe njengokulaya kwakho, njalo indawo isesekhona.
23 Bwana akan'jobhela mtumishi, 'Lotayi mu n'jhela mbaha ni fichochoro na ubhashunitushjajhi bhanu bhajhingilibhu, ili nyumba jha nene jhimemayi.
Yasisithi inkosi encekwini: Phuma uye ezindleleni lezintangweni ubacindezele bangene, ukuze igcwaliswe indlu yami.
24 Kwandabha nikabhajobhela, kwabhala bhashaafikibhu kubhwandelu ajhelepi jhaibetakubhonja sherehe jhanene.'
Ngoba ngithi kini: Kakho kulamadoda ayenxusiwe ozakuzwa ukudla kwami kwantambama.
25 Henu umati mbaha bhajhele bhilota pamonga Ni muene, ni muene akageuka ni kubhajobhela,
Kwakuhamba laye amaxuku amanengi; wasetshibilika wathi kuwo:
26 'Kama munu ihida kwa nene ni muene akan'dadila lepi dadi munu, n'dala munu, mwana munu, bhalongo munu bha n'gosi ni n'dala - ndio, ni hata maisha gha muene kabhele -ibhwesya lepi kujhe mwanafunzi ghwa nene.
Uba umuntu esiza kimi, futhi engazondi uyise, lonina, lomkakhe, labantwana, labafowabo, labodadewabo, yebo ngitsho leyakhe impilo, angebe ngumfundi wami.
27 Munu akabelayi kuulota msalaba ghwa muene ni kuhida kunyumba jha nene ibhwesyalepi kujha mwanafunzi ghwa nene.
Njalo loba ngubani ongathwali isiphambano sakhe angilandele, angebe ngumfundi wami.
28 Maana niani kati jhe muenga, ambajhe inoghela kujenga mnara ibeta lepi kutama hoti akadirirajhi gharama kwa mahesabu kama ajhe ni khela kyailonda ili kukamilisya e'lu?
Ngoba nguwuphi kini, othi efuna ukwakha umphotshongo, ongaqali ahlale phansi, abale indleko, ukuthi ulakho yini okokuqedisa?
29 Vinginevyo, baada jha kubheka msingi ni kusindwa kumallisila, bhoha bhabhalolili bhibeta kujhanda kundhihaki.
Ukuze hlezi, kuthi esebekile isisekelo kodwa angabi lamandla okuqeda, bonke abakubonayo baqale ukumhleka,
30 Bhijobha, Munu ojho ajhandi kujenga, ajhelepi ni nghofu sya kumalisya.'
besithi: Lumuntu waqala ukwakha, kodwa kabanga lamandla okuqeda.
31 Au mfalme jholekhu, akalondajhi kulota kukomana ni mfalme jhongi mu vita, ambajhe ibetalepi kutama pasi hoti ni kutola ushauri kuhusu kama ibhwesya, pamonga ni bhanu elfu kumi kutobhana ni mfalme jhongi jha ihida panani pa muene ni bhanu ishirini elfu?
Loba yiyiphi inkosi ezakuya empini imelene lenye inkosi engaqali ihlale phansi inakane ngokuthi ilamandla yini ngenkulungwane ezilitshumi okuhlangabezana laleyo eza ilenkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili ukumelana layo?
32 Na kama naha lepi, wakati jeshi lya bhangi bado lijhe patali, itume balozi kulonda masharti gha amani.
Kodwa uba kungenjalo, ingathi isekhatshana leyo, ithume amanxusa icele okokuthula.
33 Kwa hiyo basi, jhejhioha kati jha muenga ambajhe ibetalepi kuleka fyoha fya ajhe nafu, ibhwesyalepi kujha mwanafunzi ghwa nene.
Ngakho kunjalo wonke kini ongadeli konke alakho, angeke aba ngumfundi wami.
34 Muinyu unofu, lakini ikajhelajhi jhijhasili ladha jhiake, jinsi jheleku jhibhwesya kujha muinyu kabhele?
Itshwayi lihle; kodwa uba itshwayi seliduma, lizavuselelwa ngani?
35 Ijhelepi ni matumizi kwa udongo au hata kwa mbolea. jhitaghibhwa patali. Muene jha ajhele ni mb'olokoto na ap'elekayi gha kup'eleka.”
Kalifanele lamhlabathi ledundulu lomquba; kodwa liyalahlwa ngaphandle. Olendlebe zokuzwa, akezwe.
