ULukha 8
1 Ngemva kwalokho uJesu wahambahamba engena kuleli laleli idolobho lemizi, ememezela izindaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu. Abalitshumi lambili babelaye,
Bosi Yesu wuyenda mu mavula ayi mu mala mu yamikisa ayi mu samuna Nsamu Wumboti wu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
2 kanye labesifazane ababesiliswe emimoyeni emibi lemikhuhlaneni: uMariya (owayethiwa nguMagadalini) okwakuphume kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa;
Kumi bamvuala buadi banlandakana va kimosi ayi ndambu baketo bobokabelusa bu bayamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi ayi bobo kabelusa mu zimpasi. Baketo beni bawu baba: Maliya baba ntedilanga Maliya muisi Mangadala. Mu niandi katotula ziphevi tsambudi zimbimbi,
3 uJowana umkaTshuza, umlawuli wendlu kaHerodi; uSusana labanye abanengi. Abesifazane laba babebasiza ngabakuswelayo.
Zana nketo Suza mutu wuba lundanga bima bi Elode, Suzani ayi bawombo bankaka baba kunsadisanga mu bima biawu.
4 Kwathi sekubuthana ixuku labantu elikhulu labantu besiza kuJesu beqhamuka emadolobheni atshiyeneyo wabatshela lo umzekeliso:
Nkangu wuwombo wu batu wuyiza kutakana. Batu beni batotukila mu mavula mavombo. Buna Yesu wuba samunia nongo yayi:
5 “Umlimi waphuma wayahlanyela. Wathi elokhu eyihaza inhlanyelo, eyinye yawela endleleni; yanyathelwa, izinyoni zemoyeni zayidobha.
—Nkuni wumosi wuyenda ku muanga mbongo andi. Mu thangu kaba muanga mbongo andi, ndambu yi zitheti yibua mu ndambu yi nzila. Batu badiatila ziawu ayi zinuni zidoda ziawu.
6 Eyinye yawela edwaleni, yathi isathi iyakhula yabuna ngoba yayingelabumanzi.
Ndambu yinkaka yi zitheti yibua va matadi. Bu zimena, zivika yuma bilavasia ba mbozi ko.
7 Eyinye inhlanyelo yawela phakathi kwameva, akhula kanye layo ayiminyezela.
Zinkaka zibua va zitsendi. Zitsendi ziyunduka va kimosi ayi mintuidilavayi zitsendi zifietikisa miawu.
8 Eyinye inhlanyelo yawela emhlabathini ovundileyo. Yakhula yathela amabele, yanda ngekhulu.” Wathi esetsho lokhu wamemeza wathi, “Lowo olendlebe zokuzwa, kezwe.”
Vayi zinkaka zibua va ntoto wumboti. Zimena ayi zibuta makundi. Kadika luteti lubuta khama yinkaka yi zitheti. Buna katuba mambu momo, wuyamikina: —Woso widi matu ma wila buna bika kawa.
9 Abafundi bakhe bambuza ukuthi umzekeliso lowo wawusitshoni.
Minlonguki miandi minyuvula tsundu yi nongo yoyi.
10 Wathi, “Ulwazi lwemfihlo yombuso kaNkulunkulu seluphiwe lina, kodwa kwabanye ngikhuluma kubo ngemizekeliso, ukuze kuthi, ‘loba bekhangele, bangaboni; loba besizwa, bengaqedisisi.’
Buna wuba kamba: —Beno lutambula diluaku di zabila matsueki ma Kipfumu ki Nzambi vayi kuidi bankaka mambu mama mafueti yolokolo mu zinongo muingi ka diambu kobalembu tadi vayi bakadi mona; ka diambu ko balembu wa vayi balendi sudika ko.
11 Nansi ingcazelo yomzekeliso: Inhlanyelo iyilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
—Luwa tsundu yi nongo yayi: mbongo yawu mambu ma Nzambi
12 Labo abasendleleni ngabalizwayo, kodwa uSathane eze alihluthune ilizwi ezinhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangakholwa basindiswe.
Mu ndambu nzila yidi batu beti wanga mambu ma Nzambi vayi satana wunkuizanga ayi wunzionanga mawu mu mintima miawu mu diambu di kuba kandika babika wilukila muingi bedi vuka.
13 Labo abasokhetheni ngabemukela ilizwi ngentokozo nxa belizwa, kodwa kabalampande. Bayakholwa okwesikhatshana, kodwa kuthi ngesikhathi sobunzima bawe.
“Mbongo yibua va matadi” yidi batu beti wanga mambu ma Nzambiayi beti tambulanga mawu mu khini vayi basiko mianzi. Minu kiawu kizingilanga ko. Mu thangu yi thotolo bavika kukitabilanga.
14 Inhlanyelo eyawela emeveni imele labo abezwayo, kodwa baqhubeke ngeyabo indlela bakhanywe yizinhlupheko zempilo, inotho kanye lezikholisisayo, bangabe besakhula baphelele.
“Mbongo yibua va zitsendi” yidi batu bobo bawa mambu ma Nzambi ayi bayenda kuawu. Vayi bafietukusu mu diambu di mayindu, bamvuama ayi makhini ma luzingu. Babutanga ko mimbutu milenda yela.
15 Kodwa inhlanyelo esemhlabathini ovundileyo imele labo abalenhliziyo enhle, elungileyo, abalizwayo ilizwi, baligcine bathi ngokubambelela bathele izithelo.”
Bosi “mbongo yibua va ntoto wumbote” yidi batu bobo bawa mambuma Nzambi, balunda mawu mu ntima wukambulu mayuya ayi wumbote. Bawu bambutanga mimbutu bu bavibididi.
16 “Kakho olumathisa isibane asifihle ngaphansi kwesitsha kumbe asibeke ngaphansi kombheda. Kodwa usibeka esiqobaneni ukuze labo abangenayo babone ukukhanya.
—Mutu bu kalemisini muinda, kalendi kuwufukidila nzungu kovoti kuwutula ku tsi mbuka; vayi va yilu meza kafueti wutula mu diambu di bobo bankota bamona kiezila.
17 Ngoba kakukho okufihliweyo okungayi kudazululwa, njalo akukho okuthukuziweyo okungayikwaziwa kumbe kuvezwe obala.
Bila mamo masuama mafueti ba va kiesila; mamo masueku mafueti zabakana ayi totuka va nganda.
18 Ngakho nanzelelani ukuthi lilalela kanjani. Lowo olakho uzakwengezelelwa; lowo ongelakho lalokho athi ulakho uzakwemukwa.”
Diawu lulubuka mu mpila lulembu wila bila bela buela vana kuidi mutu wowo beki vayi kudi mutu wowo kambulu bela kunziona, ka diambu ko, biobi kambanza ti bidi yandi.
19 Unina kaJesu labafowabo beza ukuzambona, kodwa behluleka ukufinyelela kuye ngenxa yokuminyana kwabantu.
Ngudi yi Yesu ayi bakhomba bandi bayiza kuidi niandi vayi basianunga ko fikama va kaba mu diambu di nkangu wu batu.
20 Omunye wamtshela wathi, “Unyoko labafowenu bakulindele phandle, bafuna ukukubona.”
Buna bankamba: —Ngudi aku ayi bakhomba ziaku badi ku nganda ayi batidi kumona.
21 Waphendula wathi, “Umama labafowethu yilabo abalizwayo ilizwi likaNkulunkulu balenze.”
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bobo beti wanga mambu ma Nzambi ayi bansadilanga mawu bawu ngudiama ayi bakhomba ziama.
22 Ngelinye ilanga uJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe, “Kasiyeni ngaphetsheya kwechibi.” Basebengena esikepeni bahamba.
Lumbu kimosi Yesu wukuma mu nlungu va kimosi ayi minlongukimiandi, buna wuba kamba: —Bika tusabukanu ku disimu dinkaka di mbu. Buna batula ku ngingi nlangu.
23 Bathe belokhu behamba yena walala. Kwafika isiphepho echibini isikepe saqalisa ukugalula, baba sengozini embi.
Bu baba vuila, Yesu wuleka tulu. Zimbukila vuka kimosi kingolo kitonamu mbu, nlangu wutona wala mu nlungu ayi mu ziphasi miba.
24 Abafundi bahamba bayamvusa besithi, “Nkosi, Nkosi, sesigalula bo!” Wavuka wawukhuza umoya kanye lamagagasi; isiphepho sadeda, kwasekuthula cwaka.
Minlonguki mifikama vaba Yesu, minkotula mu yamikina: —A nlongi, A nlongi tueka fua! Wukotuka ayi wutemina vuka ayi mayo ma mbu. Buna biawu bilembama ayi ndembama yivutuka.
25 Wababuza abafundi bakhe, wathi, “Kungaphi ukukholwa kwenu?” Babuzana ngokumangala lokwesaba bathi, “Kanti ungubani lo? Ukhuza kanye lomoya lamanzi kumlalele.”
Buna wukamba minlonguki miandi: —A kuevi kuidi minu kieno e? Vayi bawu bamona tsisi ayi basimina. Ayi bayuvasana bawu na bawu ti: —Buna nani niawu wuntumina vuka ayi nlangu, ayi biawu binkutumukina e?
26 Bagwedla isikepe baya emangweni wamaGerazini, okungaphetsheya kwechibi kusuka eGalile.
Batula mu zunga ki basi Ngalasa, kitalani ayi ngalili
27 Kwathi uJesu esehla okhunjini wahlangabezwa yindoda eyayiledimoni iqhamuka ngasedolobheni. Indoda le yayisilesikhathi eside ingavunuli zigqoko, ingahlali endlini, kodwa ihlala emathuneni.
Yesu bu kakuluka va disimu buna mutu wumosi muisi divula beniwuba ayi ziphevi zimbimbi tona thama wuyiza kundengana. Pheni nkua kaba kibanga; kaba vuandanga ko mu nzo vayi ku biziami kaba vuandanga.
28 Yathi ibona uJesu yahlaba umkhosi yazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe iklabalala ngelizwi elikhulu isithi, “Ufuna ukungenzani, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngiyakuncenga, ungaze wangihlukuluza!”
Bu kamona Yesu, wubua va ntualꞌandi ayi wutuba mu mbembo yi ngolo: —A diambu mbi tuidi betu yaku, ngeyo muana Nzambi yizangama e? Wundemvukila, kadi kundiamisa.
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.
Wutuba bobo mu diambu Yesu wutumina mpeve yimbimbi yitotuka mu mutu wowo. Bila tona thama, mpeve beni yimbila. Buna mutu beni baba kunkanganga ayi kunkebilanga mu zisieni ayi bisengo mu malu vayi wuba kubi tabunanga ayi mpeve yimbimbi yiba kunnatanga mu bibuangu bisuama.
30 UJesu wambuza wathi, “Ungubani ibizo lakho?” Waphendula wathi, “NginguLigiyoni,” ngoba amadimoni amanengi ayengene kuye.
Yesu wunyuvula: —Dizina diaku nani e? Niandi wuvutula: —Lengio. Bila ziphevi ziwombo zimbimbi zikota mu mutu beni.
Ziphevi zimbimbi beni zileba Yesu muingi kabika kuba tuma benda ku diyenga. (Abyssos g12)
32 Umhlambi omkhulu wengulube wawusidla khonapho eceleni koqaqa. Amadimoni amncenga uJesu ukuthi awavumele ukuyangena engulubeni, laye wawavumela.
Nkangu wu zingulu wuba dia vana mbata mongo. Ziphevi zimbimbizileba Yesu muingi zikota mu zingulu beni. Buna wuba vana minsua.
33 Amadimoni aphuma endodeni ayangena ezingulubeni, umhlambi wathi zimu usehlela eliweni lodonga wangena echibini wagalula.
Ziphevi zimbimbi zitotuka mu mutu ayi zikota mu zingulu. Muna yina thangu nkangu wu zingulu wunengumuka mu mongo nate ziyiza bua mu mbu. Buna zidiama.
34 Labo ababezelusile bonela ukubona okwasekwenzakele babaleka bayabika edolobheni lemangweni wakhona,
Mu thangu minsungi mi zingulu mimona mambu momo mavioka, mitina ayi miyenda kamba mambu beni ku divula ayi mu zitsola.
35 abantu basebeqonda khonale ukuyabona okwasekwenzakele. Bathi befika kuJesu bayifumana indoda okwakukhutshwe kuyo amadimoni ihlezi ezinyaweni zikaJesu, igqokile njalo ingqondo isibuyile; besaba kakhulu.
Batu bayiza tala mambu momo mavioka. Bayiza vaba Yesu ayi bamona mutuwowo wutotulu ziphevi zimbimbi buna kavuendi va malu ma Yesu. Wuvuata minledi ayi diela diandi diduka. Buna bamona boma.
36 Labo ababebonile kusenzakala batshela abantu ukuthi indoda eyayiphethwe lidimoni yasiliswa njani.
Batu bobo bamona mambu beni baba kamba buevi bu vukila mutu wowo wuyamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi.
37 Kwasekusithi bonke abantu bomango wamaGerazini bamcela uJesu ukuthi kasuke kubo ngoba babekhulelwa yikwesaba. Ngakho wangena esikepeni wahamba.
Vana vawu batu ba zunga ki Ngelasa bu bamona boma bu ngolobuna baleba Yesu kabotuka mu zunga kiawu. Niandi wukuma mu nlungu ayi wuvutuka.
38 Indoda leyo eyakhutshwa amadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ahambe layo, kodwa uJesu wala wathi,
Mutu wowo wukulu mu ziphevi zimbimbi wuleba Yesu muingi kanlandakanavayi Yesu wumvutula ayi wunkamba:
39 “Buyela ekhaya uyefakaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukwenzeleni.” Yikho indoda yahamba yafakaza kulolonke idolobho konke uJesu ayeyenzele khona.
—Vutuka ku nzoꞌaku ayi samuna mambu moso Nzambi kavangidi. Buna mutu beni wuyenda, wuyemikisa, mu divula dioso, mambu Yesu kamvangila.
40 Kwathi uJesu esebuyile wahlangabezwa lixuku labantu elikhulu, ngoba bonke babemlindele.
Bu kavutuka, nkangu wu batu wuyakula Yesu bila batu boso baba kumvingila.
41 Indoda eyayithiwa nguJayirosi, umbusi wesinagogu, yeza yazilahla ezinyaweni zikaJesu, imncenga ukuthi eze endlini yayo
Tala mutu wumosi dizina diandi Yayilusi. Niandi wuba pfumu yi nzo yi lukutukunu, wuyiza ayi wubua va malu ma Yesu, wunleba mu diambu kiza ku nzo andi
42 ngoba indodakazi yayo eyodwa zwi, intombazana eyayileminyaka elitshumi lambili, yayisifa. Kwathi uJesu esesiya khona abantu baminyezela ingathi bazampatshaza.
bila muanꞌandi wumosi kaka wunketo, wuba nduka-nduka kumi mimvu miodi wuba nduka mu fua. Bu kaba kuenda vayi nkangu wu batu wumfietikisa.
43 Khonapho kwakulowesifazane owayeseleminyaka elitshumi lambili esopha kodwa kungekho owayengamelapha.
Nketo wumosi wuba kimbevo kiviokanga menga; kumi mimvu miodi kabedila kimbevo beni ayi wumana fukisa bima biandi bioso kuidi minganga. Vayi kadi munganga wumosi kasia nunga ko mu kumbelusa.
44 Weza ngemva kukaJesu wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe, masinyane nje ukopha kwahle kwaphela.
Wufikama ku manima ma Yesu ayi wusimba tsongi nledi andi. Vana vawu menga makangama.
45 UJesu wabuza wathi, “Ngubani ongithintileyo?” Kwathi ngoba bonke bephika uPhethro wathi, “Nkosi, abantu bayaminyezelana besondela kuwe.”
Buna Yesu wuyuvula: —Nani wutsimbidi. Baboso bamanga kuawu kikinina. Diawu Piela kankambila va kimosi ayi bobo baba yandi: A Nlongi, nkangu wu batu wuzungididi ayi wufietikisidi ku zindambu zioso.
46 Kodwa uJesu wathi, “Ukhona ongithintileyo; ngiyazi ukuthi amandla aphumile kimi.”
Vayi niandi wuvutula: —Mutu wumosi wutsimbidi bila nzebi ti lulendo lutotukidi mu munu.
47 Owesifazane esebone ukuthi uzacina eboniwe weza ethuthumela wazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe. Wachaza phambi kwabantu bonke ukuthi kungani wayemthintile uJesu lokuthi wasiliswa njani masinyane.
Nketo beni bu kamona ti kalendi suama ko, buna, wuyiza ayi lunkuku, wufukama va malu ma Yesu. Wusudikisa va ntuala wu batu boso bila kiokikansimbila ayi buevi kabelukididi.
48 UJesu wasesithi kuye, “Ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusilisile. Hamba ngokuthula.”
Yesu wunkamba: —A muanꞌama wunketo, minu kiaku kivukisidi, yenda mu ndembama.
49 Kwathi uJesu elokhu esakhuluma omunye weza evela endlini kaJayirasi umphathi wesinagogu, wafika wathi, “Indodakazi yakho isifile. Ungabe usamhlupha umfundisi.”
Buna kamanisini ko tuba, mutu wuba kuidi pfumu nzo yilukutukunu wuyiza ayi wunkamba: —Muanꞌaku wunketo fuidi, bika buela yamisa nlongi.
50 UJesu wathi ekuzwa lokhu wathi kuJayirasi, “Ungesabi, kholwa nje kuphela, izasiliswa.”
Yesu bu kawa bobo, wukamba Yayilusi ti: —Bika mona boma vayi wilukila kaka bila muanꞌaku wunketo wela beluka.
51 Wathi esefikile endlini kaJayirasi, kavumelanga muntu ukuthi angene laye ngaphandle kukaPhethro, uJohane loJakhobe, kanye loyise womntwana lonina.
Bu katula ku nzo, wukandika batu boso babika kota mu nzobotula kaka Piela, Yowani, Zaki ayi dise ayi ngudi yi muana ndumba.
52 Ngalesosikhathi abantu bonke babeqhinqa isililo bekhalela intombazana. UJesu wathi kubo, “Thulani, lingakhali. Kafanga kodwa ulele.”
Batu boso badila ayi banionga mu diambu diandi ayi wuba kamba: —Bikanu dila bila kadi fua ko, tulu tuandi kalekidi.
53 Bamhleka usulu uJesu ngoba besazi ukuthi intombazana yayisifile.
Batu baba kunsekinina bila bazabati fuidi.
54 Kodwa wayibamba ngesandla wathi, “Mntanami, vuka!”
Buna Yesu wusimba koko ku muana ndumba ayi wutuba mu mbembo yingolo: —Muanꞌama, telama kuaku.
55 Umoya wayo wabuya, masinyane yasukuma yathi lothu! UJesu wasesithi kabamnike ukudla.
Buna wufuluka ayi wutelama; Yesu wuvana minsua mu diambu bamvana bidia.
56 Abazali bakhe bamangala, kodwa wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ngalokho okwakwenzakele.
Zimbuta zi muana ndumba zisimina. Yesu wuba kandika babika kambakadi kuidi mutu wumosi mambu maviokidi.
