ULukha 13
1 Njalo ngalesosikhathi kwaba khona abathile abamtshela ngamaGalili, igazi lawo uPilatu alixubanisa lemihlatshelo yawo.
Mu thangu yina ndambu yi batu bankaka baba vana, bankamba mambu momo mavioka momo matedi basi Ngalili bobo Pilatu kavondusu bu kasobikisamenga mawu ayi makaba mawu.
2 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Licabanga ukuthi amaGalili la ayeyizoni yini kulawo wonke amaGalili, ngoba ahlupheka izinto ezinje?
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Benu lumbanza ti basi Ngalili bobo bamueni ziphasi ziphila yoyo mu diambu babedi bankua masumu viokila basi Ngalili bankaka e?
3 Hatshi bo, ngithi kini: Kodwa uba lingaphenduki, lizabhubha ngokunjalo lonke.
Buawu ko ndikulu kamba, vayi enati beno lukadi balula khadulubuna beno mamveno phila yimosi luela fuila.
4 Lalabo abalitshumi lesificaminwembili, owawela phezu kwabo umphotshongo eSilowama wababulala, licabanga ukuthi bona babebabi yini kulabantu bonke ababehlala eJerusalema?
Voti kumi dinana di batu bobo babuilu banga ki Silowe, bu kibavonda, beno lumbanza ti bawu baluta ba batu bambimbi viokilabatu bobo bamvuandanga ku Yelusalemi?
5 Hatshi bo, ngithi kini: Kodwa uba lingaphenduki, lizabhubha ngokunjalo lonke.
Nana ndikilukamba, vayi enati lukadi balula khadulu buna beno mamveno phila yimosi luela fuila.
6 Wasekhuluma lumfanekiso wathi: Umuntu othile wayelomkhiwa owawuhlanyelwe esivinini sakhe; wafika edinga isithelo kuwo, kodwa kasitholanga.
Buna, wuba kamba nongo yayi: —Mutu wumosi wuba ayi nti andi wu figi wukunu mu ndimꞌandiyi vinu. Wuyiza tomba muawu makundi vayi kasia baka ko.
7 Wasesithi kuso isisebenzi sesivini: Khangela, sekuyiminyaka emithathu ngisiza ngidinga isithelo emkhiweni, kodwa ngingasitholi; ugamule; yini ukuthi wone ngitsho umhlabathi?
Buna wukamba kisadi kiba nsalanga mu ndima beni: “Tala, wawu mvu wuntatu ndimeni tombila makundi ma figi mu nti wawu vayi kadidikundi ndibakanga ko. Kuanga kuandi wawu, bila mbi wulembu bungila kuandi buangu ki ntoto mu phamba e?”
8 Sasesiphendula sathi kuye: Nkosi, ake uwuyekele langalumnyaka, ngize ngigebhe ngiwugombolozele, ngithele umquba;
Vayi kisadi beni kimvutudila: “A pfumu, bika wutadidila diaka wawu mvu wawu nate ndiela mana balula ntoto muyenda nti ayi ndiela mutula mbozi.
9 njalo uba uthela isithelo, kuhle; kodwa uba kungenjalo, emva kwalokho uzawugamula.
Mananga wela buta makundi mu mvu wunkuiza. Enati buawu ko buna wela kuanga wawu.”
10 Futhi wayefundisa kwelinye lamasinagoge ngesabatha;
Yesu bu kaba longa, mu lumbu ki saba, mu nzo yimosi yi lukutukunu,
11 njalo khangela, kwakukhona owesifazana owayelomoya wobuthakathaka iminyaka elitshumi leyisificaminwembili, esegogekile, wayengezelulamise ngokupheleleyo.
tala, nketo wumosi wuba muna wuba ayi yimbimbi yi kimbevo mu tezo ki kumi dinana di mimvu. Nketo beni wuba wukomvama; kadi baka bu luliminina.
12 Kwathi uJesu embona wambizela kuye, wathi kuye: Mama, ukhululwe ebuthakathakeni bakho.
Yesu bu kammona, buna wuntela ayi wunkamba: —A nketo, kululu mu kimvevo kiaku!
13 Wasebeka izandla phezu kwakhe; njalo wahle welulanyiswa, wadumisa uNkulunkulu.
Buna wuntetika mioko ayi vana vawu wululama ayi wukembisa Nzambi.
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.
Vayi pfumu yi nzo yi lukutukunu wufuema mu diambu di Yesukabelusa nketo beni mu lumbu ki saba; buna wubaluka kuidi nkangu ayi wutuba: —Bilumbu bi kisalu bidi bisambanu; luizanga mu belusu mu bilumbu bina vayi bika mu lumbu ki saba.
15 Ngakho iNkosi yamphendula, yathi: Mzenzisi, ngulowo lalowo wenu kayikhululi yini inkabi yakhe kumbe ubabhemi esibayeni ngesabatha, ayikhokhele ayeyinathisa?
Vayi Pfumu wumvutudila: —Luidi bankua mayuya! Kadika mutu mu beno kaniangunanga ko ngombi andi voti mpundꞌandi, mu dikulu mu lumbu ki saba ayi kuzinatangamu kuzi nuikina e?
16 Lalo, oyindodakazi kaAbrahama, uSathane obembophile, khangela, iminyaka elitshumi leyisificaminwembili, kakufanele yini ukuthi akhululwe kulesisibopho ngosuku lwesabatha?
Ayi nketo wawu widi muana wu nketo wu Abalahami. Tala kumi dinana di mimvu dimeni vioka tona Satana kankangila, buna disi fuana ko mu ku nnianguna mu lumbu ki saba e?
17 Kwathi esitsho lezizinto, bayangeka bonke ababephikisana laye; lexuku lonke lathokoza ngezinto zonke ezilodumo ezenziwe nguye.
Bu kaba tuba mambu momo buna bambeni bandi zioso zifua tsonivayi nkangu woso wumona khini mu diambu di mambu momo ma nkembo momo mavangimina mu niandi.
18 Wasesithi: Umbuso kaNkulunkulu unjengani? Futhi ngizawufananisa lani?
Buna Yesu wukamba: —Mu mbi mu dedikini kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi mu mbi ndenda ku kidedikisila e?
19 Unjengohlamvu lwemasitedi, umuntu aluthatha waluphosa esivandeni sakhe; lwaselumila, lwaba yisihlahla esikhulu, lenyoni zezulu zakhele engatsheni zaso.
Kidedikini banga dikundi di mutalide di loza mutu mu tsolꞌandi. Dikundi beni diyunduka, dikituka nti. Zinuni ziyiza tungila madianza mawu mu bitafi biandi.
20 Wasebuya wathi: Ngizawufananisa lani umbuso kaNkulunkulu?
Buna wubuela diaka: —Mu mbi ndenda dedikisila Kipfumu ki Nzambi e?
21 Unjengemvubelo, ayithathayo owesifazana wayifaka ezilinganisweni ezintathu zempuphu, kwaze kwabila konke.
Kidedikini banga luvi lubonga nketo, wusobikisa luawu mu bitezo bitatu bi falina nate yimana funa.
22 Wasehamba edabula imizi lemizana efundisa, ejonge ukuya eJerusalema.
Yesu wuviokila mu mavula ayi mu mala; wulonga muawu bu kalandakana nzilꞌandi mu kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
23 Omunye wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, balutshwana yini abasindiswayo? Wasesithi kubo:
Buna mutu wumosiwunyuvula: —A pfumu, bati buna batu bafioti kuandi bela vuka e?
24 Zamani kakhulu ukungena ngesango elincinyane; ngoba abanengi, ngithi kini, bazadinga ukungena, kodwa bazakwehluleka.
Buna wuba vutudila: —Bika lunuana mu kotila mu luelo wufioti bila ndikulukambabawombo bela tomba mu kota vayi bela nunga ko.
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;
—Pfumu yi nzo bu kela telama ayi bu kela zibika muelo, enati ku nganda luela batakana, luela kokuta ayi luela leba: “A Pfumu, wutuzibudila”. Buna niandi wela ku luvutudila: “Ndisi zaba ko kuevi lubedi e?”
26 lapho lizaqala ukuthi: Sadla sanatha phambi kwakho, njalo wawufundisa emigwaqweni yakithi.
—Buna luela tuba: “Keti beto tudia ayi tunua yaku va kimosi. Keti ngeyo wulonga mu zinzila zietu…”
27 Kodwa uzakuthi: Ngithi kini: Kangilazi lapho elivela khona; sukani kimi lina lonke benzi bokubi.
Buna wela vutula: “Bukiedika ndikulukamba ndisi zaba ko kuevi lubedi. Luthatukila beno boso bisadi bi mambimbi.”
28 Lapho kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo, nxa selibona uAbrahama loIsaka loJakobe labaprofethi bonke embusweni kaNkulunkulu, kodwa lina lilahlelwe ngaphandle.
Kuna kuela ba bidilu ayi nkuetosolo wu meno mu thangu luela mona Abalahami, Isaki ayi Yakobi ayi mimbikudi mioso mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi, vayi, benu luela lozo ku nganda.
29 Futhi bazakuza bevela empumalanga lentshonalanga, njalo enyakatho leningizimu, bahlale embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Batu bela ba ku Esite ayi ku Wesite, ku Node ayi ku Sude bela vuanda mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
30 Njalo khangelani, bakhona abokucina abazakuba ngabokuqala, njalo bakhona abokuqala abazakuba ngabokucina.
Buna tala vadi batsuka bela ba batheti ayi batheti bela ba batsuka.
31 Ngelanga elifananayo kwafika abaFarisi abathile, bathi kuye: Phuma usuke lapha, ngoba uHerodi ufuna ukukubulala.
Mu lumbu kina, Bafalisi bayiza ayi bankamba: —Katuka vava ayi yenda kuaku bila Elode tidi kuvonda.
32 Wasesithi kubo: Hambani lilitshele lelokhanka: Khangela, ngiyakhupha amadimoni ngenza izelapho lamuhla lakusasa, langelesithathu ngipheleliswe.
Vayi Yesu wuba vutudila: —Yendanu lukamba mbaku wuna ti: “Tala ndilembo totula ziphevi zimbimbi ayi buabu ndilembu belusa bambevo. Vayi mbazi ayi lumbu kintatu mbanisini kuama.
33 Kodwa kumele ukuthi ngihambe lamuhla lakusasa langomhlomunye; ngoba kakwenzeki ukuthi umprofethi abulawelwe ngaphandle kweJerusalema.
Vayi mfueti diata buabu mbazi ayi lumbu kina bila buisi fuana kombikudi kafuila ku nganda yi Yelusalemi.”
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.
—A Yelusalemi! A Yelusalemi, divula dimvondanga mimbikudi ayi minlozilanga matadi bobo bakufidisilanga. Zikhumbu zikua ndizola kutikisilabana baku banga tsusu bu kankutikisilanga bana bandi ku tsi mavavi mandi vayi lumanga kuenu!
35 Khangelani, indlu yenu itshiywe kini ilunxiwa; njalo ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kalisoze langibona kuze kufike ukuthi lithi: Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi.
Vayi tala beka kuluyekudila nzo eno. Ndikulukamba ti lulendi buela kumbona ko nate luela tuba: Bika kasakumunu mutu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu.
