ULukha 8
1 Ngemva kwalokho uJesu wahambahamba engena kuleli laleli idolobho lemizi, ememezela izindaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu. Abalitshumi lambili babelaye,
Pagamaliki ago Yesu akahamba mumiji na muhijiji hingi kuvajovela vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Unkosi wa Chapanga. Vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili vakalongosana nayu.
2 kanye labesifazane ababesiliswe emimoyeni emibi lemikhuhlaneni: uMariya (owayethiwa nguMagadalini) okwakuphume kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa;
Pamonga na vadala vevawusiwi mizuka na vevalamisiwi matamu na Yesu, venavo vavi, Maliya mkolonjinji wa Magidala mweawusiwi mizuka saba yihakau,
3 uJowana umkaTshuza, umlawuli wendlu kaHerodi; uSusana labanye abanengi. Abesifazane laba babebasiza ngabakuswelayo.
na Yoana mdala waki Kuza, Kuza mweavi myimilila nyumba ya Helodi, Susana na vadala vangi vamahele. Vevawusili vindu yavi ndava ya kumtangatila Yesu na vawuliwa vaki vayendelela na lihengu lavi.
4 Kwathi sekubuthana ixuku labantu elikhulu labantu besiza kuJesu beqhamuka emadolobheni atshiyeneyo wabatshela lo umzekeliso:
Vandu vamahele vambwelalili Yesu kuhuma kukila muji, na msambi uvaha pawakonganiki, Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu.
5 “Umlimi waphuma wayahlanyela. Wathi elokhu eyihaza inhlanyelo, eyinye yawela endleleni; yanyathelwa, izinyoni zemoyeni zayidobha.
Mundu mweahambili kumija mbeyu zaki. Na peamija mbeyu, zingi zikagwilila munjila na vandu vakazilivatila, na videge vikahola.
6 Eyinye yawela edwaleni, yathi isathi iyakhula yabuna ngoba yayingelabumanzi.
Zingi zikagwilila paludaka luna maganga pezatumbulayi kumela zikanyala muni pavi lepi na manji.
7 Eyinye inhlanyelo yawela phakathi kwameva, akhula kanye layo ayiminyezela.
Zingi zikagwilila muminga, ndi minga zikamela pamonga nazu, zikazihinya.
8 Eyinye inhlanyelo yawela emhlabathini ovundileyo. Yakhula yathela amabele, yanda ngekhulu.” Wathi esetsho lokhu wamemeza wathi, “Lowo olendlebe zokuzwa, kezwe.”
Zingi zagwili paludaka lwabwina, zikamela limonga likapambika ng'onyo. Yesu akamalisila kwa lwami luvaha, “Mweavi na makutu ga kuyuwana ayuwana!”
9 Abafundi bakhe bambuza ukuthi umzekeliso lowo wawusitshoni.
Vawuliwa vaki vakamkota Yesu, luhumu lula mana yaki kyani.
10 Wathi, “Ulwazi lwemfihlo yombuso kaNkulunkulu seluphiwe lina, kodwa kwabanye ngikhuluma kubo ngemizekeliso, ukuze kuthi, ‘loba bekhangele, bangaboni; loba besizwa, bengaqedisisi.’
Mwene akavayangula, “Nyenye muhotiswi kumanya ufiyu wa Unkosi wa Chapanga, nambu lepi kwa avo vangi, vene vijoviwa kwa luhumu, muni vakalolayi nakuhotola kulola na vakayuwana nakumanya.”
11 Nansi ingcazelo yomzekeliso: Inhlanyelo iyilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
“Luhumu ulu mana yaki. Mbeyu ndi lilovi la Chapanga.
12 Labo abasendleleni ngabalizwayo, kodwa uSathane eze alihluthune ilizwi ezinhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangakholwa basindiswe.
Chechihumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili munjila, ndi luhumu lwa vandu veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga, kangi Setani peibwela na kuliwusa mumitima yavi vakotoka kusadika na kusanguliwa.
13 Labo abasokhetheni ngabemukela ilizwi ngentokozo nxa belizwa, kodwa kabalampande. Bayakholwa okwesikhatshana, kodwa kuthi ngesikhathi sobunzima bawe.
Mewawa chechehumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili pamaganga, ndi luhumu wa vandu veviyuwana lilovi na kulipokela kwa luheku. Nambu vandu vangali mikiga mugati yavi, na lukumbi pevilingiwa vikotoka.
14 Inhlanyelo eyawela emeveni imele labo abezwayo, kodwa baqhubeke ngeyabo indlela bakhanywe yizinhlupheko zempilo, inotho kanye lezikholisisayo, bangabe besakhula baphelele.
Kangi chechihumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili paminga, ndi luhumu wa vandu veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga, pa lukumbi luhupi peviyendelela na Lilovi lenilo, vene vihinyiwa na mahengu ga kuvya na vindu vyamahele na mambu ga bwina ga pamulima, ndi na kupambika matunda gakakangala.
15 Kodwa inhlanyelo esemhlabathini ovundileyo imele labo abalenhliziyo enhle, elungileyo, abalizwayo ilizwi, baligcine bathi ngokubambelela bathele izithelo.”
Ndi mbeyu zezagwili paludaka lwabwina, ndi luhumu wa vandu vevayuwini lilovi na kulivika mumitima yavi na kuyidakila bwina. Vikangamala mumitima mbaka kupambika matunda.”
16 “Kakho olumathisa isibane asifihle ngaphansi kwesitsha kumbe asibeke ngaphansi kombheda. Kodwa usibeka esiqobaneni ukuze labo abangenayo babone ukukhanya.
“Vandu vipambika lepi hahi na kuyigubika na chiviga amala kuyivika kuhi kuchitanda. Nambu vandu vivika hahi panani pachibokoselu, muni vandu veviyingila mugati valola bwina.”
17 Ngoba kakukho okufihliweyo okungayi kudazululwa, njalo akukho okuthukuziweyo okungayikwaziwa kumbe kuvezwe obala.
“Muni chochoha chechifiyiki, yati chigubukuliwa na chindu chochoha cha mfiyu yati chimanyikana na voha.”
18 Ngakho nanzelelani ukuthi lilalela kanjani. Lowo olakho uzakwengezelelwa; lowo ongelakho lalokho athi ulakho uzakwemukwa.”
“Mujiyangalilayi chemwiyuwana, muni mweavi nachu yati iyonjokeswa, nambu mundu mwanga chindu, hati chila chidebe cheihololela kuvya nachu yati chinyagiwa.”
19 Unina kaJesu labafowabo beza ukuzambona, kodwa behluleka ukufinyelela kuye ngenxa yokuminyana kwabantu.
Nyina waki na valongo vaki Yesu vakamuhambalila, ndava ya msambi wa vandu wula nakuhotola kumuhegelela.
20 Omunye wamtshela wathi, “Unyoko labafowenu bakulindele phandle, bafuna ukukubona.”
Mundu mmonga akamjovela Yesu, “Nyina waku na valongo vaku vayimili kuvala, vigana kukulola.”
21 Waphendula wathi, “Umama labafowethu yilabo abalizwayo ilizwi likaNkulunkulu balenze.”
Nambu Yesu akavajovela vandu, “Nyina wangu na valongo vangu ndi vala veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga na kulikamula.”
22 Ngelinye ilanga uJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe, “Kasiyeni ngaphetsheya kwechibi.” Basebengena esikepeni bahamba.
Na kavili ligono limonga Yesu peakweli muwatu pamonga na vawuliwa vaki, akavajovela, “Tikupuka kumwambu ya nyanja.” Vakatumbula kukupuka.
23 Bathe belokhu behamba yena walala. Kwafika isiphepho echibini isikepe saqalisa ukugalula, baba sengozini embi.
Pavahambayi muwatu wula, Yesu agonili lugono. Ndi chimbungululu chikatumbula kutova munyanja mula na manji gakatumbula kuyingila muwatu wavi mkulemala neju.
24 Abafundi bahamba bayamvusa besithi, “Nkosi, Nkosi, sesigalula bo!” Wavuka wawukhuza umoya kanye lamagagasi; isiphepho sadeda, kwasekuthula cwaka.
Vawuliwa vaki vamhambali vakamuyumusa na vakamjovela, “Bambu, Bambu Tifwa!” Yesu akayumuka, akachilakalila chimbungululu chila na luyuga lwa manji ndi vikaguna na kukavya teke.
25 Wababuza abafundi bakhe, wathi, “Kungaphi ukukholwa kwenu?” Babuzana ngokumangala lokwesaba bathi, “Kanti ungubani lo? Ukhuza kanye lomoya lamanzi kumlalele.”
Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Kusadika kwinu kuvi koki?” Vene vakakangasa na kuyogopa kuni vijovelana, “Mundu uyu wa namuna yoki? Hati ihotola kugunisa chimbungululu na luyuga na vyene vimyidikila!”
26 Bagwedla isikepe baya emangweni wamaGerazini, okungaphetsheya kwechibi kusuka eGalile.
Vakakupuka na kuhika kumbwani ya kumuji wa mulima wa Vagelasi wewalolasini na Galilaya kumwambu ya nyanja.
27 Kwathi uJesu esehla okhunjini wahlangabezwa yindoda eyayiledimoni iqhamuka ngasedolobheni. Indoda le yayisilesikhathi eside ingavunuli zigqoko, ingahlali endlini, kodwa ihlala emathuneni.
Yesu peahulwiki muwatu na kulivatila mbwani, mundu mmonga wa muji wula, mweavi na mizuka ambwelalili. Mundu mwenuyo kwa magono gamahele awala lepi nyula wala atamili lepi munyumba yoyoha yila, ndi atamali mumbugu la kuzikila vandu.
28 Yathi ibona uJesu yahlaba umkhosi yazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe iklabalala ngelizwi elikhulu isithi, “Ufuna ukungenzani, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngiyakuncenga, ungaze wangihlukuluza!”
Peamuweni Yesu akavemba kwa lwami luvaha na kumgwilila pamagendelu, “Wa, Yesu veve Mwana wa Chapanga Mkulu! Una kyani na nene? Pepayi chonde kotoka kuning'aha!”
29 Ngoba uJesu wayeseyale umoya omubi ukuthi uphume kuleyondoda. Izikhathi ezinengi wawumbamba, kuthi loba ebotshwe ngamaketane ezandleni lezinyaweni njalo elindiwe, wayewaqamula amaketane idimoni limuse enkangala.
Ajovili genago muni Yesu amali kuuhakalila mzuka wula umuwukayi mundu yula. Pamahele mzuka wamzangila mundu yula pamonga na vandu kumuvika mugati na kumkunga minyololo mu mawoko na mumagendelu nambu pamahele adenyayi vifungo vyenivyo, na kujumbiswa kwa makakala ga mzuka wenuwo mbaka kulugangatu.
30 UJesu wambuza wathi, “Ungubani ibizo lakho?” Waphendula wathi, “NginguLigiyoni,” ngoba amadimoni amanengi ayengene kuye.
Yesu akamkota, “Liina laku yani?” Akayangula, “Liina langu Msambi.” Ndava mizuka yamahele yamuyingili.
Mizuka yila yikamjovela Yesu pepayi chonde akotoka kuyipeleka kuligodi langali mwishu. (Abyssos g12)
32 Umhlambi omkhulu wengulube wawusidla khonapho eceleni koqaqa. Amadimoni amncenga uJesu ukuthi awavumele ukuyangena engulubeni, laye wawavumela.
Kwavi na maguluvi gamahele gevadimayi kuchitumbi pandu penapo, ndi mizuka yila yikamuyupa Yesu yihamba kuyingila mumaguluvi gala. Yesu akayileka yihamba.
33 Amadimoni aphuma endodeni ayangena ezingulubeni, umhlambi wathi zimu usehlela eliweni lodonga wangena echibini wagalula.
Ndi mizuka yila yikamuwuka mundu yula yikagayingila maguluvi gala, na msambi wa maguluvi ukahelela munyanja na kuyongomela, gakafwa mumanji.
34 Labo ababezelusile bonela ukubona okwasekwenzakele babaleka bayabika edolobheni lemangweni wakhona,
Vadimaji va maguluvi pevaloli gegahumali vakajumba, kuhamba kumuji na kumigunda kuvajovela vandu ujumbi.
35 abantu basebeqonda khonale ukuyabona okwasekwenzakele. Bathi befika kuJesu bayifumana indoda okwakukhutshwe kuyo amadimoni ihlezi ezinyaweni zikaJesu, igqokile njalo ingqondo isibuyile; besaba kakhulu.
Vandu vakabwela kulola gegahumalili, vakamuhambalila Yesu, vamuwene mundu mwe yamuhumili mizuka yula, atamili papipi na magendelu ga Yesu, awali nyula, na avi na luhala lwaki bwina. Voha vakayogopa.
36 Labo ababebonile kusenzakala batshela abantu ukuthi indoda eyayiphethwe lidimoni yasiliswa njani.
Vandu vevagaweni mambu genago, vakavajovela vayavi chealamiswi mundu yula.
37 Kwasekusithi bonke abantu bomango wamaGerazini bamcela uJesu ukuthi kasuke kubo ngoba babekhulelwa yikwesaba. Ngakho wangena esikepeni wahamba.
Vakolonjinji voha wa ku Gelasi vakavya na wogohi neju. Vakamuyupa Yesu awukayi ahamba kungi. Yesu akakwela muwatu akawuka.
38 Indoda leyo eyakhutshwa amadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ahambe layo, kodwa uJesu wala wathi,
Mundu mweamuwusi mizuka yula, amuyupili Yesu valongosanayi. Nambu Yesu nakumuyidakila, ndi akamjovela,
39 “Buyela ekhaya uyefakaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukwenzeleni.” Yikho indoda yahamba yafakaza kulolonke idolobho konke uJesu ayeyenzele khona.
“Wuya kunyumba yaku ukavajovelayi gaakuhengili Chapanga.” Ndi mundu yula akahamba kila pandu kumuji woha akuvajovela vandu chaamhengili Yesu.
40 Kwathi uJesu esebuyile wahlangabezwa lixuku labantu elikhulu, ngoba bonke babemlindele.
Yesu paawuyili kumwambu yingi ya nyanja, avakoli msambi wa vandu vampokali chaluheku, ndava voha vamlindilayi.
41 Indoda eyayithiwa nguJayirosi, umbusi wesinagogu, yeza yazilahla ezinyaweni zikaJesu, imncenga ukuthi eze endlini yayo
Penapo akabwela mundu mmonga liina laki Yailusi avi chilongosi wa nyumba ya kukonganekela akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu, akamuyupa Yesu ahamba kunyumba yaki,
42 ngoba indodakazi yayo eyodwa zwi, intombazana eyayileminyaka elitshumi lambili, yayisifa. Kwathi uJesu esesiya khona abantu baminyezela ingathi bazampatshaza.
muni msikana waki ngayuyoyo mmonga, wa miiyaka kumi na yivili avi mtamu papipi kufwa. Yesu avi mukuhamba, msambi wa vandu wavi kumuhinya kila upandi.
43 Khonapho kwakulowesifazane owayeseleminyaka elitshumi lambili esopha kodwa kungekho owayengamelapha.
Kwavi na mdala mmonga pagati ya msambi wula wa vandu, avi na utamu wa kuhuma ngasi miyaka kumi na yivili, amalili kuwusa vindu vyaki vyoha kuvapela valamisa, kawaka mweahotwili kumlamisa.
44 Weza ngemva kukaJesu wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe, masinyane nje ukopha kwahle kwaphela.
Mdala yula akamlanda Yesu mumbele akapamisa lugunyilu lwa pahi lwa nyula ya Yesu. Bahapo akalama.
45 UJesu wabuza wathi, “Ngubani ongithintileyo?” Kwathi ngoba bonke bephika uPhethro wathi, “Nkosi, abantu bayaminyezelana besondela kuwe.”
Yesu akajova, “Yani mweanipamisi?” Vandu vakajova, Kawaka mundu mwaakupamisi. Petili akajova, “Bambu msambi wa vandu vakutindili na kukuhinya!”
46 Kodwa uJesu wathi, “Ukhona ongithintileyo; ngiyazi ukuthi amandla aphumile kimi.”
Nambu Yesu akajova, “Avili mundu mweanipamisi, muni nijiyuwini makakala ganihumili.”
47 Owesifazane esebone ukuthi uzacina eboniwe weza ethuthumela wazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe. Wachaza phambi kwabantu bonke ukuthi kungani wayemthintile uJesu lokuthi wasiliswa njani masinyane.
Mdala yula paajiloli nakuhotola kujifiha, akabwela kuni hivagaya akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu. Akamjovela pavandu voha ndava ya kumpamisa Yesu na chaalami bahapo.
48 UJesu wasesithi kuye, “Ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusilisile. Hamba ngokuthula.”
Yesu akamjovela, “Msikana wangu, kusadika kwaku kukulamisi, uhamba na uteke.”
49 Kwathi uJesu elokhu esakhuluma omunye weza evela endlini kaJayirasi umphathi wesinagogu, wafika wathi, “Indodakazi yakho isifile. Ungabe usamhlupha umfundisi.”
Yesu paavi akona ilongela, akabwela mundu kuhuma kunyumba ya Yailo, akamjovela Yailo, “Leka kumung'aha Muwula, mwana waku mwene afwili.”
50 UJesu wathi ekuzwa lokhu wathi kuJayirasi, “Ungesabi, kholwa nje kuphela, izasiliswa.”
Yesu peayuwini genago, akamjovela Yailo, “Kotoka kuyogopa, sadika ndu, yati ilama.”
51 Wathi esefikile endlini kaJayirasi, kavumelanga muntu ukuthi angene laye ngaphandle kukaPhethro, uJohane loJakhobe, kanye loyise womntwana lonina.
Peahikili panyumba pala, akavatola Petili na Yohani na Yakobo pamonga na dadi na nyina wa msikana yula akayingila nawu mugati, vandu vangi avalekili kuvala.
52 Ngalesosikhathi abantu bonke babeqhinqa isililo bekhalela intombazana. UJesu wathi kubo, “Thulani, lingakhali. Kafanga kodwa ulele.”
Vandu voha vavembayi na malilu kwa lipyanda ndava ya mwana yula. Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mkotoka kuvemba, muni mwana uyu afwili lepi, agonili ndu.”
53 Bamhleka usulu uJesu ngoba besazi ukuthi intombazana yayisifile.
Voha vakamuheka, muni vamanyili kuvya mwana yula afwili.
54 Kodwa wayibamba ngesandla wathi, “Mntanami, vuka!”
Kangi Yesu akamkamula chiwoko mwana yula na kumkemela, “Mwana yimuka!”
55 Umoya wayo wabuya, masinyane yasukuma yathi lothu! UJesu wasesithi kabamnike ukudla.
Mpungu waki ukamuwuyila, bahapo akayimuka. Yesu akavajovela mumpela chakulya.
56 Abazali bakhe bamangala, kodwa wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ngalokho okwakwenzakele.
Dadi na nyina wa mwana yula vakakangasa, Nambu Yesu akavajovela vakotoka kumjovela mundu yoyoha mambu gala gegahengiki.
