ULukha 13
1 Njalo ngalesosikhathi kwaba khona abathile abamtshela ngamaGalili, igazi lawo uPilatu alixubanisa lemihlatshelo yawo.
Kwa wakati bhobhuobhu, kwajhele ni baadhi jha bhbanu bhabhan'taarifu juu jha bhagalilaya ambabho Pilato abhakomili ni kubhachanganya damu jha bhene ni sadaka sya bhene.
2 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Licabanga ukuthi amaGalili la ayeyizoni yini kulawo wonke amaGalili, ngoba ahlupheka izinto ezinje?
Yesu akajibu ni kubhajobhela, “Je mwidhanila kujha bhagalilaya abhu bhajhele ni dhambi kuliko bhagalilaya bhamana ndo maana bhakabhili mabhibhi aghu?
3 Hatshi bo, ngithi kini: Kodwa uba lingaphenduki, lizabhubha ngokunjalo lonke.
L'epi, mkabhajobhela, lakini mukabela kutubu, namu mwibeta kuangamila mebhu.
4 Lalabo abalitshumi lesificaminwembili, owawela phezu kwabo umphotshongo eSilowama wababulala, licabanga ukuthi bona babebabi yini kulabantu bonke ababehlala eJerusalema?
Au bhale bhanu kumi ni nne mu Siloamu ambabho mnara bhwabinili ni kubhakoma, mwifikiri bhene bhajhele ni dhambi nesu kuliko bhamana mu Yerusalemu?
5 Hatshi bo, ngithi kini: Kodwa uba lingaphenduki, lizabhubha ngokunjalo lonke.
Lepi, nene nijobha, lakini kama mutubuili lepi muenga mwebhoha mwibeta kuangamila.
6 Wasekhuluma lumfanekiso wathi: Umuntu othile wayelomkhiwa owawuhlanyelwe esivinini sakhe; wafika edinga isithelo kuwo, kodwa kasitholanga.
Yesu an'jobhili mfano obho, “Munu mmonga ajhele ni mtini upandibhu pa n'gonda ghwa muene na alotili kulonda matunda munani mu mwene lakini akabhilepi.
7 Wasesithi kuso isisebenzi sesivini: Khangela, sekuyiminyaka emithathu ngisiza ngidinga isithelo emkhiweni, kodwa ngingasitholi; ugamule; yini ukuthi wone ngitsho umhlabathi?
Akan'jobhele mtunza bustani, 'Langayi, kwa miaka midatu nihidili ni kujaribu kulonda matunda mu mtini obho lakini nikabhilepi. Udumulayi. kwani wileta uharibifu bhwa Ardhi?
8 Sasesiphendula sathi kuye: Nkosi, ake uwuyekele langalumnyaka, ngize ngigebhe ngiwugombolozele, ngithele umquba;
Mtunza bustani akajibu ni kujobha uulekayi mwaka obho ili niugehelelayi ni kubheka mbolea panani pake.
9 njalo uba uthela isithelo, kuhle; kodwa uba kungenjalo, emva kwalokho uzawugamula.
Kama akahogolayi matunda mwaka ujao, ni kinofu; lakini kama wibeta lepi kuhogola, mudumulayi!”'
10 Futhi wayefundisa kwelinye lamasinagoge ngesabatha;
Henu Yesu akajhe ifundisya mu mojawapo gha Masinagogi wakati wa sabato.
11 njalo khangela, kwakukhona owesifazana owayelomoya wobuthakathaka iminyaka elitshumi leyisificaminwembili, esegogekile, wayengezelulamise ngokupheleleyo.
Langayi ajhele mabhu mmonga ambajhe kwa miaka kumi na nne ajhele ni roho chafu bhwa udhaifu, ni muene ajhe apindili na ajhelepi ni uwezo kabisa bhwa kujhema.
12 Kwathi uJesu embona wambizela kuye, wathi kuye: Mama, ukhululwe ebuthakathakeni bakho.
Yesu bho ambwene akan'kuta, akan'jobhele, “Mabhu, ubhekibhu huru kuh'oma mu udhaifu bhwa jhobhi.”
13 Wasebeka izandla phezu kwakhe; njalo wahle welulanyiswa, wadumisa uNkulunkulu.
Akabheka mabhoko gha muene panani pa muene, ni mara mb'ele bhwa muene bhukakinyosya na an'tukuzili K'yara.
14 Kodwa umphathi wesinagoge, ethukuthele ngoba uJesu esilise ngesabatha, waphendula wathi exukwini: Zikhona insuku eziyisithupha okufanele ukusetshenzwa ngazo; ngakho wozani ngazo lisiliswe, kodwa kungabi ngosuku lwesabatha.
Lakini mbaha ghwa sinagogi adadili kwa ndabha Yesu ajhele amponyisi ligono lya sabato. Hivyo mtawala akajibu akabhajobhela makutano, “Kuna magono sita ambagho ni lazima kubhomba mbombo. Muhidayi kuponyisibhwa basi, ni katika ligono lya sabato.'
15 Ngakho iNkosi yamphendula, yathi: Mzenzisi, ngulowo lalowo wenu kayikhululi yini inkabi yakhe kumbe ubabhemi esibayeni ngesabatha, ayikhokhele ayeyinathisa?
Bwana an'jibili ni kujobha, “Bhanafiki! Ajhelepi hata mmonga bhinu kufungula punda bhwa jhobhi au ng'ombi kuhoma mu zizi ni kabhalongosya kumpeleka kunywa ligono lya sabato?
16 Lalo, oyindodakazi kaAbrahama, uSathane obembophile, khangela, iminyaka elitshumi leyisificaminwembili, kakufanele yini ukuthi akhululwe kulesisibopho ngosuku lwesabatha?
Hivyo kabhele binti ghwa Abrahamu, ambajhe shetani amfungili kwa miaka kumi ni nane, je jhilondekaghe lepi kifungulibhwajhi ligono lya sabato?”
17 Kwathi esitsho lezizinto, bayangeka bonke ababephikisana laye; lexuku lonke lathokoza ngezinto zonke ezilodumo ezenziwe nguye.
Bhoijobha malobhi aghu bhala bhoha bhabhampingili bha bhuene soni, bali makutano bhoha ni bhangi bhashangilili kwa mambo gha ajabu ghabhombili.
18 Wasesithi: Umbuso kaNkulunkulu unjengani? Futhi ngizawufananisa lani?
Yesu akajobha, “Ufalme bhwa K'yara wiwaningana ni kiki, na wibhesya kulenganisya ni kiki?
19 Unjengohlamvu lwemasitedi, umuntu aluthatha waluphosa esivandeni sakhe; lwaselumila, lwaba yisihlahla esikhulu, lenyoni zezulu zakhele engatsheni zaso.
Ni kama mbeyu jha haradari jhaailetili munu mmonga ni kujhibhiala mu n'gonda bhwa muene, ni kumela kujha libehe libhaha, ni fidege fya kumbinguni fyajengili fisiwisi fya bhene mu matafi ghake.
20 Wasebuya wathi: Ngizawufananisa lani umbuso kaNkulunkulu?
Kabhele akajobha, “Niufananisiajhi ni kiki ufalme bhwa K'yara?
21 Unjengemvubelo, ayithathayo owesifazana wayifaka ezilinganisweni ezintathu zempuphu, kwaze kwabila konke.
Ni kama chachu ambajho n'dala atolili ni kuchanganya mu fipemu fidatu fya sembe hata ukaumuka.”
22 Wasehamba edabula imizi lemizana efundisa, ejonge ukuya eJerusalema.
Yesu agendili kila mji ni fijiji munjela kulotela Yerusalemu ni kubhafundisya.
23 Omunye wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, balutshwana yini abasindiswayo? Wasesithi kubo:
Munu mmonga akakote, “Bwana, ni bhanu bhadebe tu bbhabhibeta kuikolibhwa?” Hivyo akabhajobhela,
24 Zamani kakhulu ukungena ngesango elincinyane; ngoba abanengi, ngithi kini, bazadinga ukungena, kodwa bazakwehluleka.
“Ukitahidiajhi kujhingila kwa kup'etela ndiangu mwembamba, kwandabha bhamehele bhibeta kujaribu na bhibetalepi kubhwesya kujhingila.
25 Emva kokuthi umninindlu esesukume wavala umnyango, beseliqala ukuma ngaphandle liqoqode emnyango, lisithi: Nkosi, Nkosi, sivulele; yena-ke aphendule athi kini: Kangilazi, lapho elivela khona;
Mara baada jha mmiliki ghwa nyumba kujhema ni kudenda ndiangu, basi mwibeta kujhema kwibhala ni kupiga hodi pa ndiangu ni kujobha, Bwana, Bwana, tufungulilayi muene ibeta kujibu kwa kubhajobhela, nibhamanyilepi muenga wala kwa mihoma.'
26 lapho lizaqala ukuthi: Sadla sanatha phambi kwakho, njalo wawufundisa emigwaqweni yakithi.
Ndipo mwibeta kujobha, Twalili ni kunywa mbele jha jhobhi ni bhebhe wafundisi mu mitaa ghya tete.”
27 Kodwa uzakuthi: Ngithi kini: Kangilazi lapho elivela khona; sukani kimi lina lonke benzi bokubi.
Lakini muene ibeta kubhajibu, nibhajobhili nibhamanyilepi kwa mwihoma, mubhokayi kwa nene, muenga bhabhomba maovu!
28 Lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo, nxa selibona uAbrahama loIsaka loJakobe labaprofethi bonke embusweni kaNkulunkulu, kodwa lina lilahlelwe ngaphandle.
Kubetakujha ni kilelu ni kusiagha minu wakati pa mwibeta kumbona na Abrahamu, Isaka, Yakobo ni manabii bhoha mu ufalme bhwa K'yara, lakini mwebhene mu taghibhu kwibhala.
29 Futhi bazakuza bevela empumalanga lentshonalanga, njalo enyakatho leningizimu, bahlale embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Bhibetakuhida kuhoma mashariki, magharibi, kaskazini ni kusini ni kup'omolela mu meza jha kyakulya kya kimihi mu ufalme bhwa K'yara.
30 Njalo khangelani, bakhona abokucina abazakuba ngabokuqala, njalo bakhona abokuqala abazakuba ngabokucina.
Na nimanyili e'le, wamwishu ndo ghwa kwanza ni ghwa kwanza ndo ghwa mwisho.”
31 Ngelanga elifananayo kwafika abaFarisi abathile, bathi kuye: Phuma usuke lapha, ngoba uHerodi ufuna ukukubulala.
Muda mfupi baadajhe, jha Mafarisayo bhakahida ni kun'jobhela, “Lotayi ne ubhokayi apa kwandabha Herode ilonda kukoma.”
32 Wasesithi kubo: Hambani lilitshele lelokhanka: Khangela, ngiyakhupha amadimoni ngenza izelapho lamuhla lakusasa, langelesithathu ngipheleliswe.
Yesu akajobha, “Mulotayi mukan'jobhelayi jhola Mbweha, `Langayi, nikabhabhenga pepo ni kukheta uponyajhi lelu ni kilabhu ni ligono lya tatu nitimisya lilengo lyangu.
33 Kodwa kumele ukuthi ngihambe lamuhla lakusasa langomhlomunye; ngoba kakwenzeki ukuthi umprofethi abulawelwe ngaphandle kweJerusalema.
Mu hali jhejhioha, ni muhimu kwandabha jha nene kujhendelela lelu, kilabhu ni n'tondo, kwa vile jhilondeka lepi kun'koma nabii patali ni Yerusalemu.
34 Jerusalema, Jerusalema, wena obulala abaprofethi, lobakhanda ngamatshe labo abathunywe kuwe! Bengithanda kangakanani ukubuthela ndawonye abantwana bakho, njengesikhukhukazi sibuthela amatsiyane aso ngaphansi kwempiko, kodwa kalivumanga.
Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu, niani akabhakoma manabii ni kubhatobha maganga bhala bhabhalaghisibhu kwa muenga. Mara ngapi nilondikubhabhonganiya bhana bhinu kama vile n'gokho kyajhibhonganya fyana fya muene pasi pa mababatilu gha muene, lakini mulilondelepi e'le.
35 Khangelani, indlu yenu itshiywe kini ilunxiwa; njalo ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kalisoze langibona kuze kufike ukuthi lithi: Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi.
Langayi, nyumba jha jhobhi jhitelesibhu. Nani nikabhajobhela, mwibhwesya lepi kunibhona hata pa mwibeta kujobha 'Abarikibhu ojho jha ihida kwa lihina lya Bwana.”'
