ULukha 18
1 UJesu wasetshela abafundi bakhe umzekeliso ukubatshengisa ukuthi kumele bakhuleke kokuphela bangadinwa.
Neya nabhabhwila echijejekanyo kutyo jibheile okusabhwa bhasiga kufwa mwoyo.
2 Wathi, “Kwelinye idolobho kwakulomahluli owayengamesabi uNkulunkulu njalo engakhathaleli muntu.
Naikati, Aliga alio mulamusi umwi, unu atamubhayaga Nyamuanga na atabhalaga bhanu.
3 Kwakukhona umfelokazi kulelodolobho owayehlezi esiza kuye kokuphela emncenga esithi, ‘Akungincede ngalowo engixabana laye.’
Aliga alimo omutumba gasi mumusi omwo, namujakoga kwiya ngendo nyamfu, naikati, 'Nsakila na undamule no kunana echibhalo chani no musokwa wani.'
4 Okwesikhathi eside umahluli wayesala. Kodwa wacina esithi, ‘Loba ngingamesabi uNkulunkulu njalo ngingakhathali ngomuntu,
Mwanya mwamfu atendaga kumusakila, nawe eishe naika mumwoyo gwae, 'Nolo kutyo anye nitamubhaya Nyamuanga amwi nitakubhala munu,
5 kodwa ngenxa yokuthi umfelokazi lo usengijinge kakhulu sengizamlungisela ukuthi angaze abuya anginenge ngoba elokhu engilanda!’”
Nawe kwokubha omutumba gasi kanyansha nimulamule nimuyane echibhalo chae asige okugendelela okunyegelela bhuli mwanya.”
6 Njalo iNkosi yasisithi, “Likuzwisise lokho okutshiwo ngumahluli ongalunganga.
Latabhugenyi naika ati, 'Mungwe omulamusi oyo atali mulengelesi kutyo kaika.
7 Kambe uNkulunkulu kayikubalwela yini abakhethiweyo bakhe, abakhuleka kuye imini lobusuku? Uzabe elokhu ebanina yini?
Angu Nyamuanga atalilamula abhasolwa bhae bhanu abhamulilila mungeta na mumwisi? angu omwene atalibha mwikomelesha kubhene?
8 Ngiyalitshela, uzabalwela, njalo masinyane. Kodwa, nxa iNdodana yoMuntu isifika, izakufumana ukukholwa emhlabeni na?”
Enibhabhwila ati, alibhalamula bhwangu. Nawe Omwana wa Adamu anu alibhaja mbe alisanga elikilisha kuchalo?
9 Kulabo ababezethemba ngokulunga kwabo beseyisa abanye, uJesu wakhuluma umzekeliso lo wathi:
Niwo nabhabhwila echijejekanyo chinu abhanu abhandi bhanu abhelola kutyo bhali bhalengelesi nibhagaya abhandi,
10 “Amadoda amabili aya ethempelini ukuyakhuleka, omunye engumFarisi njalo omunye engumthelisi.
'Bhanubhabhili bhalinyile mwiyekalu okusabhwa. oumwi Mufalisayo oundi omutobhesha wa likodi.
11 UmFarisi wasukuma wakhuleka ngalokho ayeyikho khona wathi: ‘Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ukuthi kanginjengabanye abantu, izigebenga, izixhwali, izifebe njalo kangifani lomthelisi lo.
Omufalisayo nemelegulu nasabhwa emisango jinu omwene,'Nyamuanga enikusima kulwokubha anye nitali lwa bhanu abhandi abhasakusi, abhajimya, abhalomesi, na nitali lwo mutobhesha wo bhushulu unu.
12 Ngizila kabili ngeviki njalo nginikela okwetshumi okwenzuzo yami yonke.’
Anye enisalalila kwiya kabhili ku bhwoyo. Enigwata omugabho gwa likumi kubhinu bhyona bhinu enibhona.'
13 Kodwa umthelisi wema bucwadlana laye. Wesaba lokukhangela ezulwini kodwa wazehlisa kakhulu wathi, ‘Nkulunkulu, woba lesihawu kimi, ngiyisoni.’
Nawe uliya omutobhesha, emeleguyu alela, nalema okwimusha ameso gae kulwile, nebhuma bhuma muchifubha chae naikati,'Nyamuanga, mfwilwa chigongo anye nili webhibhibhi.'
14 Ngiyalitshela ukuthi indoda le, hatshi leyana enye, yabuyela ekhaya isilungisiwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba lowo oziphakamisayo uzakwehliswa, lozehlisayo uzaphakanyiswa.”
Enibhabwila, omunu unu asubhile ika abhalilwe obhulengelesi kukila uliya kulwokubha bhuli unu kekusha alikeibhwa, nawe bhuli munu unu kekeya alikusibwa.'
15 Abantu njalo babeletha abantwana kuJesu ukuthi ababeke izandla. Abafundi bonela ukukubona lokhu babakhuza.
Abhanu nibhamuletela abhana bhebhwe abhalela, abhone okubhakunyako, abheigisibhwa bhae bhejile bhalola nibhabhaganya.
16 Kodwa uJesu wabizela kuye abantwana wathi, “Yekelani abantwana beze kimi, lingabavimbeli ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanjengalaba.
Nawe Yesu nabhabhilikila kumwene naikati,'Mubhasige abhana abhalela bhaje kwanye, mutabhaganya. Kulwokubha obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga ni bhwa bhanu lwa bho.
17 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, lowo ongayikwemukela umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana omncane kayikungena kuwo.”
Mwikilishe, enibhabhwilati, omunu wona wonaunu atabhulamila obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga lwo mwana omulela atalingilamo kata.'
18 Umbusi othile wambuza wathi, “Mfundisi olungileyo, ngingenzani ukuze ngizuze ilifa lokuphila kwaphakade na?” (aiōnios g166)
Mukulu umwi namubhusha naikati,'awe Omwiigisha wo bhwana nikole kutiki koleleki nilye omwandu gwo bhuanga bhwa kajanende?' (aiōnios g166)
19 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ungibizelani ngokuthi ngilungile na? Kakho olungileyo ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu kuphela.
Yesu namubhwila ati, 'Kulwaki oumbilikila wo bhwana? Atalio munu unu ali wo bhwana, tali Nyamuanga wenyelela.
20 Uyayazi imilayo: ‘Ungafebi, ungabulali muntu, ungebi, ungaphi ubufakazi bamanga, hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko.’”
Umenyele ebhilagilo, utalomelega, utetaga, utebhaga, utabheeleshaga, ubhalega esomwana na nyokomwana.
21 Wathi umbusi, “Yonke le ngiyigcine kusukela ebutsheni bami.”
Omukulu naikati, 'ago gona nigagwatile okusoka bhulela bhwani.'
22 UJesu esekuzwile lokho wathi kuye, “Usasilele into eyodwa. Thengisa konke olakho uphe abampofu, lapho-ke inotho yakho izakuba sezulwini. Ubusubuya ungilandele.”
Yesu ejile ongwa ago namubhwila ati, “Gulio musango gumwi. Nibhusi bhusi ugushe bhinu ulinabhyo ugabhile abhataka niwo ulibha no bhunibhi mulwile niwo uje undubhe.
23 Wathi esezwe lokhu wadana kakhulu ngoba wayeyindoda eyayinothe kakhulu.
'Nawe omunibhi ejile akongwa ejo nasulumbala muno okubha aliga alimunibhi muno.
24 UJesu wamkhangela wathi, “Koba nzima kakhulu ukuthi isinothi singene embusweni kaNkulunkulu!
Neya Yesu, namulola kutyo asulumbala muno naikati, 'kukomee abhanibhi okwingila mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga!
25 Ngempela kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene embotsheni yenalithi kulokuthi umuntu onothileyo awungene umbuso kaNkulunkulu.”
Okubha nichangu ingamila okufulumita mwiundu lya insinga kukila omunibhi okwingila mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.'
26 Labo abakuzwayo lokho babuza bathi, “Ngubani pho ongasindiswa?”
Bhanu bhonguhye ago, nibhaikati, 'Kambe jili kutyo niga katula okukila?'
27 UJesu waphendula wathi, “Lokho okungenzekiyo emandleni abantu kuyenzakala kwakaNkulunkulu.”
Yesu nasubhya naikati, 'Bhinu ebhitamya abhanu Nyamuanga kabhitula.”
28 UPhethro wathi kuye, “Sesadela konke esasilakho sakulandela!”
Petelo naikati, Eswe, chisigile bhuli chinu nchikulubha awe.
29 UJesu wathi kubo, “Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi kakho osetshiye ikhaya loba umfazi kumbe abafowabo loba abazali kumbe abantwana ngenxa yombuso kaNkulunkulu
'Yesu nabhabhwila ati, Nichimali, enibhabhwila ati, atalio omunu unu kasiga inyumba, amwi mugasi, amwi bhamula bhabho, amwi bhebhusi amwi bhana kulwo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga,
31 UJesu wasebizela abalitshumi lambili eceleni wabatshela wathi, “Sesisiya eJerusalema lapho konke okulotshwe ngabaphrofethi ngeNdodana yoMuntu sekusiya gcwaliseka.
Ejile akabhakumanya abho ekumi na bhabhili, nabhabhwila ati, 'Lola echigenda Yelusalemu, na jinu jona jandikilwe na bhalagi ku Mwana wa Adamu ejikumila.
32 Izanikelwa kwabeZizwe. Bazayihoza, bayithuke, bayikhafulele, bayibhule njalo bayibulale.
Kulwokubha kagwatwa nabha mumabhoko ga bhanu bhabhanyamaanga kajimibhwa, nibhamwimatulila, nibhamufubhulila amachwanta.
33 Ngosuku lwesithathu izavuka.”
Bhalimusanya jinsanju nibhamwita na kulusiku lwa kasatu alisuluka.'
34 Abafundi kabazange bakuzwisise konke lokhu. Ingcazelo yakho yayifihlakele kubo yikho kabazanga ukuthi wayekhuluma ngani.
Bhatasombokewe omusango ogwo, gwaliga gwibhisile kubhene, bhatamenyele jinu aikaga.
35 UJesu esebanga eJerikho kwakulendoda eyisiphofu eyisiceli ihlezi eceleni kwendlela icela.
Anu Yesu afogelee Yeliko, omunu umwi muofu aliga enyanjile mulubhaju lwa injila nasabhilishaga.
36 Yathi isizwa kudlula ixuku labantu yabuza ukuthi kuyini okwakusenzakala.
Ejile ogwa bhanu bhamfu nibhatulao nasubhyati echo niki.
37 Bayitshela bathi, “UJesu waseNazaretha uyedlula khonapha.”
Nibhamubhwila ati ni Yesu wa Najaleti nuwe kalabhao.
38 Yamemeza yathi, “Jesu, Ndodana kaDavida, ake ungihawukele!”
Mbe omuofu nalila kwo bhulaka bhwa ingulu naikati, 'Yesu omwana wa Daudi, umfwile chigongo. '
39 Labo ababehamba phambili bayikhuza bathi kayithule, kodwa yona yasimemeza ngamandla yathi, “Ndodana kaDavida ake ungihawukele!”
Bhanu bhaliga nibhalibhata nibhamuganya omuofu oyo, nibhamubhwila ajibhile. Nawe omwene nagendelela okulila kwo bhulaka, Omwana wa Daudi, umfwile chigongo.
40 UJesu wema wathi indoda leyo ilethwe kuye. Isifikile uJesu wayibuza wathi,
Yesu nemelegulu nabhalagila nabhabhwila bhamulete. Omuofu ejile amulebhelela, Yesu namubhusha ati,
41 “Ufuna ukuthi ngikwenzeleni?” Yaphendula yathi, “Nkosi, ngifuna ukuthi ngibone.”
'Owenda nikukole kutiki? Naikati, Latabhugenyi, enenda okulola.'
42 UJesu wathi kuyo, “Kuzuze-ke ukubona; ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile.”
Yesu namubhwila ati, 'mbe lola. Okwikilisha kwao kwakwiulisha.'
43 Masinyane yahle yabona, yasimlandela uJesu idumisa uNkulunkulu. Kwathi bonke abantu bekubona lokho, labo bamdumisa uNkulunkulu.
Ao nao nalola, namulubha Yesu namukusha Nyamuanga. Bhejile bhalola elyo, abhanu bhona nibhamukusha Nyamuanga.
