ULukha 8
1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho, yena wadabula imizi lemizana, ememezela lokutshumayela indaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu; labalitshumi lambili babelaye,
Bosi Yesu wuyenda mu mavula ayi mu mala mu yamikisa ayi mu samuna Nsamu Wumboti wu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
2 labesifazana abathile ababesiliswe kubomoya ababi lemikhuhlaneni, uMariya othiwa nguMagadalena, okwaphuma 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 loJowana umkaKuza induna kaHerodi, loSusana, labanye abanengi, ababemsiza ngempahla zabo.
Zana nketo Suza mutu wuba lundanga bima bi Elode, Suzani ayi bawombo bankaka baba kunsadisanga mu bima biawu.
4 Kwathi sekubuthene ixuku elikhulu, njalo bevela emizini ngemizi besiza kuye, wakhuluma ngomfanekiso,
Nkangu wuwombo wu batu wuyiza kutakana. Batu beni batotukila mu mavula mavombo. Buna Yesu wuba samunia nongo yayi:
5 wathi: Umhlanyeli waphuma ukuyahlanyela inhlanyelo yakhe; kwathi ekuhlanyeleni kwakhe, enye yawela eceleni kwendlela; yasinyathelwa ngenyawo, lenyoni zezulu zayidla zayiqeda.
—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 Lenye yawela edwaleni, kwathi ekukhuleni yabuna, ngoba yaswela ubumanzi.
Ndambu yinkaka yi zitheti yibua va matadi. Bu zimena, zivika yuma bilavasia ba mbozi ko.
7 Lenye yawela phakathi kwameva, ameva asemila layo ayiminyanisa.
Zinkaka zibua va zitsendi. Zitsendi ziyunduka va kimosi ayi mintuidilavayi zitsendi zifietikisa miawu.
8 Lenye yawela emhlabathini omuhle, yakhula yathela ikhulu. Esetshilo lezizinto wamemeza wathi: Olendlebe zokuzwa akezwe.
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 basebembuza besithi: Ungaba yini lumfanekiso?
Minlonguki miandi minyuvula tsundu yi nongo yoyi.
10 Wasesithi: Kuphiwe kini ukwazi imfihlo zombuso kaNkulunkulu; kodwa kwabanye ngemifanekiso, ukuze bebona bangaboni, njalo besizwa bangaqedisisi.
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 Lomfanekiso uyilokhu: Inhlanyelo iyilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
—Luwa tsundu yi nongo yayi: mbongo yawu mambu ma Nzambi
12 Labaseceleni kwendlela yilabo abathi sebezwile, besekufika udiyabhola alisuse ilizwi enhliziyweni 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 Labasedwaleni yilabo, abathi belizwile, balemukele ilizwi ngentokozo, kodwa laba kabalampande, abakholwa okwesikhathi, kuthi ngesikhathi sokulingwa 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 Lewele phakathi kwameva, yilabo abathi sebezwile, bahambe baminyaniswe yikukhathalela lenotho lenkanuko yempilo, njalo bangatheli izithelo ezivuthiweyo.
“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 esemhlabathini omuhle, yilabo abathi belizwile ilizwi balilondoloze enhliziyweni enhle lelungileyo, bathela izithelo ngokubekezela.
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 Njalo kakho othi eselumathise isibane, asembese ngesitsha, kumbe asibeke ngaphansi kombheda, kodwa usibeka esiqobaneni sesibane, ukuze 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, okungasoze kube sobala; lokuthukuziweyo, okungayikwaziwa lokungayikulethwa obala.
Bila mamo masuama mafueti ba va kiesila; mamo masueku mafueti zabakana ayi totuka va nganda.
18 Ngakho qaphelisani ukuthi lizwa njani; ngoba loba ngubani olakho, uzaphiwa; kodwa loba ngubani ongelakho, uzakwemukwa lalokho acabanga ukuthi ulakho.
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 Kwasekufika kuye unina labafowabo, kodwa abazange bamfinyelele ngenxa yexuku.
Ngudi yi Yesu ayi bakhomba bandi bayiza kuidi niandi vayi basianunga ko fikama va kaba mu diambu di nkangu wu batu.
20 Wasebikelwa ngabanye abathi: Unyoko labafowenu bemi phandle, bafuna ukukubona.
Buna bankamba: —Ngudi aku ayi bakhomba ziaku badi ku nganda ayi batidi kumona.
21 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: 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 Kwasekusithi ngolunye lwezinsuku, wangena emkhunjini yena labafundi bakhe, wasesithi kubo: Asichaphele ngaphetsheya kwechibi; basuka-ke.
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 Kwathi behamba ngomkhumbi, walala ubuthongo; isiphepho esikhulu somoya sasesisehlela phansi echibini, bagcwalelwa ngamanzi, babesengozini.
Bu baba vuila, Yesu wuleka tulu. Zimbukila vuka kimosi kingolo kitonamu mbu, nlangu wutona wala mu nlungu ayi mu ziphasi miba.
24 Basebesondela bamvusa, besithi: Nkosi, nkosi, siyabhubha! Wasevuka wakhuza umoya lamagagasi amakhulu amanzi; kwasekusima, kwasekusiba lokuthula.
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 Wasesithi kubo: Lungaphi ukholo lwenu? Basebesesaba bamangala, bakhulumisana besithi: Kambe ungubani lo, ukuthi alaye ngitsho imimoya lamanzi, njalo 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 Basebesiya ngomkhumbi elizweni lamaGadarene, eliqondene leGalili.
Batula mu zunga ki basi Ngalasa, kitalani ayi ngalili
27 Kwathi esephumele emhlabathini, yamhlangabeza indoda ethile ivela emzini, eyayilamadimoni okwesikhathi eside, njalo ingembathi isembatho, ingahlali endlini, kodwa emangcwabeni.
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 imbona uJesu, yamemeza, yawa phansi phambi kwakhe, yathi ngelizwi elikhulu: Ngilani lawe, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngiyakuncenga, ungangihluphi.
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 walaya umoya ongcolileyo ukuthi aphume kulowomuntu; ngoba wayesembambe okwezikhathi ezinengi, walindwa ebotshiwe ngamaketane lezibopho, kodwa eseqamule izibopho waqhutshelwa enkangala lidimoni.
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 wasembuza, wathi: Ungubani ibizo lakho? Wasesithi: NguLegiyoni; 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 Kwakukhona lapho umhlambi wengulube ezinengi usidla entabeni; asemncenga ukuthi awavumele angene kuzo. Wasewavumela.
Nkangu wu zingulu wuba dia vana mbata mongo. Ziphevi zimbimbizileba Yesu muingi zikota mu zingulu beni. Buna wuba vana minsua.
33 Kwathi amadimoni esephumile kulowomuntu angena engulubeni; umhlambi wasuphaphatheka usuka eliweni usiya echibini, waminzwa.
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 Kwathi ababezelusile bebona okwenzakeleyo babaleka, basuka bayabika emzini, lemaphandleni.
Mu thangu minsungi mi zingulu mimona mambu momo mavioka, mitina ayi miyenda kamba mambu beni ku divula ayi mu zitsola.
35 Basebephuma ukuyabona okwenzakeleyo; bafika kuJesu, bamfica umuntu okwakuphume kuye amadimoni ehlezi enyaweni zikaJesu, embethe esephelele engqondweni; basebesesaba.
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 Basebebatshela lalabo ababebonile ukuthi usindiswe njani owayengenwe ngamadimoni.
Batu bobo bamona mambu beni baba kamba buevi bu vukila mutu wowo wuyamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi.
37 Ixuku lonke lesigaba samaGadarene esizingelezeleyo laselimcela ukuthi asuke kubo, ngoba babanjwa yikwesaba okukhulu; yena wasengena emkhunjini waphindela emuva.
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 Kodwa indoda okwakuphume kuyo amadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ibe laye. Kodwa uJesu wayiyekela yahamba, esithi:
Mutu wowo wukulu mu ziphevi zimbimbi wuleba Yesu muingi kanlandakanavayi Yesu wumvutula ayi wunkamba:
39 Buyela endlini yakho, ulandise ukuthi kungakanani uNkulunkulu akwenze kuwe. Wasesuka wahamba, etshumayela phakathi komuzi wonke ukuthi kungakanani uJesu ayekwenzile kuye.
—Vutuka ku nzoꞌaku ayi samuna mambu moso Nzambi kavangidi. Buna mutu beni wuyenda, wuyemikisa, mu divula dioso, mambu Yesu kamvangila.
40 Kwasekusithi ekubuyeni kukaJesu, ixuku lamthakazelela; ngoba bonke babemlindele.
Bu kavutuka, nkangu wu batu wuyakula Yesu bila batu boso baba kumvingila.
41 Njalo khangela, kwafika indoda, uJayirosi ngebizo, yona ingumphathi wesinagoge, yasisiwa phansi enyaweni zikaJesu yamncenga ukuthi angene 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 yayilendodakazi eyodwa ezelweyo eyayingaba leminyaka elitshumi lambili, njalo yona yayisisifa. Kwathi esahamba amaxuku amcindezela.
bila muanꞌandi wumosi kaka wunketo, wuba nduka-nduka kumi mimvu miodi wuba nduka mu fua. Bu kaba kuenda vayi nkangu wu batu wumfietikisa.
43 Lowesifazana owayelomopho wegazi okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, echithe konke okwempilo yakhe kubelaphi engelakusiliswa langubani,
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 wasondela ngemva kwakhe, wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe; njalo wahle wakhawula umopho wegazi lakhe.
Wufikama ku manima ma Yesu ayi wusimba tsongi nledi andi. Vana vawu menga makangama.
45 UJesu wasesithi: Ngubani ongithintileyo? Kwathi lapho bephika bonke, uPetro wathi lababelaye: Nkosi, ixuku likuminyanisile likucindezele, kodwa uthi: Ngubani ongithintileyo?
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; ngoba mina ngazile ukuthi amandla aphumile kimi.
Vayi niandi wuvutula: —Mutu wumosi wutsimbidi bila nzebi ti lulendo lutotukidi mu munu.
47 Kwathi owesifazana ebona ukuthi kafihlakalanga, weza ethuthumela, wawa phambi kwakhe, walandisa phambi kwabantu bonke ukuthi umthinte ngesizatho bani, lokuthi uhle wasila njani.
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 Wasesithi kuye: Mana isibindi, ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.
Yesu wunkamba: —A muanꞌama wunketo, minu kiaku kivukisidi, yenda mu ndembama.
49 Esakhuluma, kwafika umuntu evela endlini yomphathi wesinagoge, wathi kuye: Indodakazi yakho isifile; ungamhluphi uMfundisi.
Buna kamanisini ko tuba, mutu wuba kuidi pfumu nzo yilukutukunu wuyiza ayi wunkamba: —Muanꞌaku wunketo fuidi, bika buela yamisa nlongi.
50 Kodwa uJesu esizwa, wamphendula, wathi: Ungesabi; kholwa kuphela, njalo izasindiswa.
Yesu bu kawa bobo, wukamba Yayilusi ti: —Bika mona boma vayi wilukila kaka bila muanꞌaku wunketo wela beluka.
51 Futhi esengenile endlini, kavumanga ukuthi kungene muntu, ngaphandle kukaPetro loJakobe loJohane, loyise wendodakazi lonina.
Bu katula ku nzo, wukandika batu boso babika kota mu nzobotula kaka Piela, Yowani, Zaki ayi dise ayi ngudi yi muana ndumba.
52 Njalo bakhala bonke, beyililela. Kodwa wathi: Lingakhali; kayifanga, kodwa ilele.
Batu boso badila ayi banionga mu diambu diandi ayi wuba kamba: —Bikanu dila bila kadi fua ko, tulu tuandi kalekidi.
53 Basebemhleka usulu, besazi ukuthi ifile.
Batu baba kunsekinina bila bazabati fuidi.
54 Kodwa yena esebakhuphele phandle bonke, wabamba isandla sayo, wamemeza, esithi: Ndodakazi, vuka!
Buna Yesu wusimba koko ku muana ndumba ayi wutuba mu mbembo yingolo: —Muanꞌama, telama kuaku.
55 Wasubuya umoya wayo, yasivuka khona lapho; waselaya ukuthi kayiphiwe ukudla.
Buna wufuluka ayi wutelama; Yesu wuvana minsua mu diambu bamvana bidia.
56 Abazali bayo basebemangala kakhulu; kodwa wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu okwenzakeleyo.
Zimbuta zi muana ndumba zisimina. Yesu wuba kandika babika kambakadi kuidi mutu wumosi mambu maviokidi.
