Lukka 14
1 Awo olwatuuka ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti, Yesu bwe yali ng’agenze okulya mu nnyumba ey’omu ku bakulembeze b’Abafalisaayo, abantu bonna abaaliwo ne bamwekaliriza amaaso.
Kwasekusithi ekungeneni kwakhe ngesabatha endlini yomunye wabakhulu kubaFarisi ukuthi adle isinkwa, bona basebemqaphela.
2 Waaliwo omusajja omulwadde w’entumbi ng’atudde okwolekera Yesu we yali.
Njalo khangela, kwakukhona umuntu othile phambi kwakhe owayelombizankulu.
3 Awo Yesu n’abuuza Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka nti, “Kikkirizibwa okuwonya ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti, oba nedda?”
UJesu wasephendula wakhuluma lezazumthetho labaFarisi, wathi: Kuvunyelwe yini ukusilisa ngesabatha?
4 Yesu yalaba tebazzeemu, kwe kukwata omusajja omulwadde ku mukono, n’amuwonya, n’amugamba yeetambulire.
Kodwa bathula. Wasembamba wamsilisa wamyekela ukuthi ahambe.
5 N’alyoka abakyukira n’ababuuza nti, “Ani ku mmwe singa omwana we agwa mu kinnya oba ente ye n’egwa mu kinnya ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti, atamuggyayo oba atagiggyaayo mangwago?”
Wasebaphendula esithi: Nguwuphi kini ongathi elobabhemi kumbe inkabi yakhe ewele emgodini, futhi angahle ayikhuphe ngosuku lwesabatha?
6 Era ne batamuddamu.
Abasazange babuyisele impendulo kuye ngalezizinto.
7 Awo Yesu bwe yalaba abagenyi abaayitibwa n’abagerera olugero ng’agamba nti,
Wasekhuluma umfanekiso kubo abanxusiweyo, ebona ukuthi bakhetha njani izihlalo zabahloniphekayo, wathi kubo:
8 “Bwe bakuyitanga ku mbaga ey’obugole, teweetuuzanga mu kifo ekisinga okuba eky’ekitiibwa kubanga singa ejjayo omugenyi akusinga ekitiibwa,
Nxa unxusiwe ngumuntu emtshadweni, ungahlali esihlalweni sabahloniphekayo; hlezi kukhona omkhulu kulawe onxusiweyo nguye,
9 eyakuyise ku mbaga ajja kumuleeta awo w’otudde akugambe nti, ‘Viira ono atuule awo w’otudde.’ Noolyoka ositukawo ng’oswadde ogende onoonye ekifo ekirala emabega.
futhi okunxusileyo wena laye eze athi kuwe: Mxekele lo; khona uzaqala ukuhlala endaweni esekucineni usulenhloni.
10 Naye bwe bakuyitanga, otuulanga mu kifo eky’emabega, kale nno eyakuyise bw’ajja alyoke akugambe nti, ‘Mukwano gwange, jjangu nkutwale mu kifo eky’omu maaso.’ Noolyoka osituka nga ne bagenyi banno bakuwa ekitiibwa.
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 Kubanga buli muntu eyeegulumiza alitoowazibwa; n’oyo eyeetoowaza aligulumizibwa.”
Ngoba wonke oziphakamisayo uzathotshiswa, lozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.
12 Awo Yesu n’akyukira eyamuyita n’amugamba nti, “Bw’otegekanga ekyemisana oba ekyeggulo, toyitanga mikwano gyo, wadde baganda bo, wadde ab’olulyo lwo, wadde baliraanwa bo abagagga; kubanga bw’okola otyo nabo bayinza okukuyita olulala ne baba ng’abakusasula.
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 Naye bw’ofumbanga ekijjulo, oyitanga abaavu, n’abagongobavu, n’abalema ne bamuzibe.
Kodwa nxa usenza idili, nxusa abayanga, izilima, iziqhuli, iziphofu;
14 Oliweebwa omukisa kubanga bo tebalina kya kukusasula. Olisasulibwa mu kuzuukira kw’Abatuukirivu.”
njalo uzabusiswa, ngoba abalalutho lokukwenanisa; ngoba uzakwenaniselwa ekuvukeni kwabalungileyo.
15 Omu ku bagenyi abaali batudde ku mmeeza bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo n’agamba Yesu nti, “Alina omukisa oyo alirya embaga mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
Kwathi omunye kwababehlezi laye ekudleni esezwile lezizinto wathi kuye: Ubusisiwe lowo ozakudla isinkwa embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
16 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Waaliwo omusajja eyateekateeka okufumba embaga ennene, n’ayita abantu bangi.
Kodwa wathi kuye: Umuntu othile wenza ukudla kwantambama okukhulu, wanxusa abanengi.
17 Bwe yamala okutegeka, n’atuma omuddu we agende ategeeze abaayitibwa nti, ‘Mujje byonna biwedde okutegeka.’
Ngesikhathi sokudla kwantambama wasethuma inceku yakhe ukuthi ithi kwabanxusiweyo: Wozani, ngoba sekulungisiwe konke.
18 “Naye bonna ne batandika okwewolereza; eyasooka n’agamba nti, ‘Nnaakagula ennimiro noolwekyo njagala kugenda kugirambula. Nkusaba onsonyiwe, nneme kujja.’
Kodwa bonke baqala omunye lomunye ukuzixolisela. Owokuqala wathi kuye: Ngithenge insimu, ngimele ukuhamba ngiyeyibona; ngiyakuncenga, akungixolisele.
19 “Omulala n’agamba nti, ‘Nnakagula emigogo gy’ente ezirima etaano njagala kuzigezaamu. Nkusaba onsonyiwe nneme kujja.’
Lomunye wathi: Sengithenge izipane ezinhlanu zenkabi, ngiya ukuzilinga; ngiyakuncenga, akungixolisele.
20 “Omulala n’agamba nti, ‘Nnawasizza omukazi noolwekyo sisobola kujja.’
Lomunye wathi: Sengithethe umfazi, ngakho ngingeze ngeza.
21 “Omuddu n’akomawo n’ategeeza mukama we ng’abagenyi be yayita bwe bagambye. Mukama we n’anyiiga, n’amulagira agende mangu mu nguudo ez’omu kibuga ne mu bikubo, ayite abaavu n’abagongobavu, n’abalema, ne bamuzibe.
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 “Omuddu n’agamba mukama we nti, ‘Bonna mbayise nga bw’ondagidde, naye era mu kisenge ky’embaga mukyalimu ebifo.’
Inceku yasisithi: Nkosi, sekwenziwe njengokulaya kwakho, njalo indawo isesekhona.
23 “N’agamba omuddu we nti, ‘Genda mu nguudo ez’omu byalo ne mu bukubo obutono okubirize b’onoosangayo bajje, ennyumba yange ejjule.
Yasisithi inkosi encekwini: Phuma uye ezindleleni lezintangweni ubacindezele bangene, ukuze igcwaliswe indlu yami.
24 Era mbategeeza nti tewali n’omu ku abo be nayita alirya ku mbaga yange.’”
Ngoba ngithi kini: Kakho kulamadoda ayenxusiwe ozakuzwa ukudla kwami kwantambama.
25 Awo ebibiina by’abantu bangi nnyo bwe baali bagoberera Yesu, n’akyuka n’abagamba nti,
Kwakuhamba laye amaxuku amanengi; wasetshibilika wathi kuwo:
26 “Omuntu bw’anajjanga gye ndi, n’atakyawa kitaawe, oba nnyina, oba mukyala we n’abaana be, oba baganda be oba bannyina, newaakubadde obulamu bwe ye yennyini, tayinzenga kuba muyigirizwa wange.
Uba umuntu esiza kimi, futhi engazondi uyise, lonina, lomkakhe, labantwana, labafowabo, labodadewabo, yebo ngitsho leyakhe impilo, angebe ngumfundi wami.
27 Era oyo ateetikka musaalaba gwe n’angoberera, tayinza kuba muyigirizwa wange.
Njalo loba ngubani ongathwali isiphambano sakhe angilandele, angebe ngumfundi wami.
28 “Singa omu ku mmwe ayagala okuzimba omulungooti, tamala kutuula n’abalirira omuwendo omulimu ogwo gwe gunaatwala, n’alaba obanga ensimbi ezeetaagibwa azirina okugumaliriza?
Ngoba nguwuphi kini, othi efuna ukwakha umphotshongo, ongaqali ahlale phansi, abale indleko, ukuthi ulakho yini okokuqedisa?
29 Kubanga singa tagumaliriza n’akoma ku musingi gwokka, buli agulaba atandika okumusekerera,
Ukuze hlezi, kuthi esebekile isisekelo kodwa angabi lamandla okuqeda, bonke abakubonayo baqale ukumhleka,
30 nga bw’agamba nti, ‘Omuntu ono yatandika okuzimba naye n’alemwa okumaliriza!’
besithi: Lumuntu waqala ukwakha, kodwa kabanga lamandla okuqeda.
31 “Oba kabaka ki agenda okulwana ne kabaka omulala amulumba, tamala kutuula n’abalirira obanga n’abaserikale omutwalo ogumu b’alina, asobola okulwanyisa kabaka omulala ajja okumulumba n’abaserikale emitwalo ebiri?
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 Bw’afumiitiriza n’alaba nga tajja kusobola, atumira kabaka oli omubaka, ng’akyaliko wala, okuteesa emirembe.
Kodwa uba kungenjalo, ingathi isekhatshana leyo, ithume amanxusa icele okokuthula.
33 Kale, buli muntu ku mmwe ateefiiriza byonna by’alina, tayinza kuba muyigirizwa wange.
Ngakho kunjalo wonke kini ongadeli konke alakho, angeke aba ngumfundi wami.
34 “Omunnyo mulungi, naye singa guggwaamu ensa, guzibwamu gutya obuka bwagwo?
Itshwayi lihle; kodwa uba itshwayi seliduma, lizavuselelwa ngani?
35 Guba tegukyalina mugaso n’akamu mu ttaka wadde ne mu bigimusa, noolwekyo gusuulibwa bweru. Alina amatu agawulira awulire.”
Kalifanele lamhlabathi ledundulu lomquba; kodwa liyalahlwa ngaphandle. Olendlebe zokuzwa, akezwe.
