ULukha 9
1 Wasebizela ndawonye abafundi bakhe abalitshumi lambili, wabanika amandla legunya phezu kwamadimoni wonke, lawokwelapha izifo.
Yesu wukutikisa kumi mimvuala miodi ayi wuba vana lulendo ayi luyalu lu totudila ziphevi zioso zimbimbi ayi lubelusila bambevo.
2 Wasebathuma ukuyatshumayela umbuso kaNkulunkulu, lokusilisa abagulayo,
Bosi wuba tuma benda yamikisa luyalu lu Nzambi ayi wuba tuma babelusa bambevo.
3 wasesithi kubo: Lingaphathi lutho lwendlela; lodondolo, lesikhwama, lomphako, lemali, njalo lingabi lezigqoko ezimbili ngamunye.
Wuba vana zithumunu ziazi: —Kadi nata kadi kiasa mu nzila: kadi nata nkawa, kadi tsaku, kadi khuta, kadi zimbongo. Kadi mutu kanata kikhutu kiviakisa.
4 Lakuyiphi indlu elingena kuyo, hlalani lapho, lalapho lisuke.
Yoso nzo luela kota buna luvuanda muna nate luela botuka va divula beni.
5 Labo bonke abangalemukeliyo, nxa lisuka kulowomuzi, thintithani ngitsho uthuli enyaweni zenu kube yibufakazi obumelana labo.
Enati bamengi kulutambula buna mu thangu luela totuka mu divula beni, buna luba kukumuna mbungi-mbungi yi malu meno muingi kiba kimbangi kuidi bawu.
6 Basuka-ke bahamba bedabula imizana, betshumayela ivangeli besilisa endaweni zonke.
Buna miyenda. Midiengila mu mala moso. Milonga nsamu Wumbote ayi mibelusa bambevo mu bibuangu bioso.
7 UHerodi umtetrarki wasekuzwa konke okwenziwa nguye; wasedideka, ngoba kwatshiwo ngabanye ukuthi uJohane uvukile kwabafileyo;
Nyadi Elode wawu zitsangu zi mambu mamo mavioka, wukiyamisangolo. Bila bankaka batuba: “Yowani niandi wufulukidi mu bafua!”
8 langabanye ukuthi uElija ubonakele; langabanye ukuthi kuvukile omunye wabaprofethi abadala.
Vayi bankaka: “Eli niandi wumonikini.” Vayi bankaka “Niandi widi mbikudi wumosi mu mimbikudi mikhulu, niandi fulukidi.”
9 Kodwa uHerodi wathi: UJohane ngamquma ikhanda mina; kodwa ngubani lo, mina engizwa ngaye izinto ezinje? Wasefunisisa ukumbona.
Vayi Elode wuba tuba: —Keti minu veka ndizengisa Yowani ntu! Vayi buna nani mutuwowo, ndilembu wilanga mambu momo? Buna wutomba nzila mu kummona.
10 Abaphostoli sebebuyile bambikela konke ababekwenzile. Wasebathatha, wahamba labo bebodwa waya endaweni eyinkangala eyomuzi othiwa yiBhethisayida.
Mimvuala mivutuka ayi mivumbudila Yesu kipholo ki mamo mivanga; wuba nata va lutengo ku ndambu divula dibeti tedila Betisayida.
11 Kwathi amaxuku esekwazi, amlandela; wasewemukela, wakhuluma lawo ngombuso kaNkulunkulu, wabasilisa labo abaswele ukusiliswa.
Vayi nkangu wu batu bu bazaba nsamu beni, buna banlandakana. Yesu wuba yakula, wuba yolukila nsamu wu kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi wu belusa batu baba tsatu yi belusu.
12 Ilanga laseliqala ukutshona; abalitshumi lambili basebesiza bathi kuye: Yekela ixuku lihambe, ukuze baye emizaneni lezigabeni ezizingelezeleyo bangenise khona, bathole ukudla; ngoba lapha sisendaweni eyinkangala.
Buisi buna bueka yila, kumi mimvuala miodi va kaba ayi minkamba: —Vutula nkangu wu batu muingi benda mu mala ayi mu zitsola zifikimini mu diambu babaka bidia ayi minleku bila va buangu kikambulu batu tuidi.
13 Kodwa wathi kubo: Banikeni lina bona ukuthi badle. Bathi-ke: Asilakho okwedlula izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, ngaphandle kokuthi thina siyebathengela ukudla bonke lababantu.
Vayi Yesu wuba kamba: —Luba vananu beno veka bidia. Vayi bawu bavutula: —Mampa matanu kaka madi yeto ayi zimbizi zizole zi nlangu. Mananga tidi beto veka tuenda sumbi bidia mu diambu di batu boso baba e?
14 Ngoba kwakukhona amadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu. Wasesithi kubafundi bakhe: Bahlaliseni phansi ngezigaba ngamatshumi amahlanu.
Bila nduka-nduka mili tanu yi babakala yiba vana. Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Luba vuandisa mu makabu ma makumatanu ma batu.
15 Basebesenza njalo, babahlalisa phansi bonke.
Buawu mivanga ayi mivuandisa batu boso.
16 Wasezithatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, wakhangela phezulu ezulwini, wazibusisa, wazihlephula, wazinika abafundi ukuthi babeke phambi kwexuku.
Buna Yesu wubonga mampa beni matanu ayi zimbizi beni zizole zi nlangu. Wumvumbula meso ku Yilu, wusakumuna mawu bosi wubukuna mawuayi wuvana mawu minlonguki miandi mu diambu bakabudila nkangu wu batu.
17 Basebesidla basutha bonke; kwadojwa imvuthu ezazisele kubo, izitsha ezilitshumi lambili.
Bawu boso badia ayi bayukuta. Mu bitini bisiadidila, batota kumi bipani biodi.
18 Kwasekusithi ekhuleka yedwa, abafundi babelaye; wasebabuza, esithi: Amaxuku athi ngingubani?
Lumbu kimosi Yesu kaba sambila va lutengu, minlonguki miandi miba yandi va kimosi. Buna wuba yuvula: —Buevi batu beti tubanga; minu ndidi nani e?
19 Basebephendula bathi: UJohane uMbhabhathizi; kodwa abanye bathi: UElija; kodwa abanye bathi: Kuvukile umprofethi othile wabadala.
Minlonguki mimvutudila: —Bankaka beta tuba widi Yowani Mbotikii; bankaka Eli; bankakabeta tuba widi wumosi mu mimbikudi mi tsi khulu wufulukidi.
20 Wasesithi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani? UPetro wasephendula wathi: UKristu kaNkulunkulu.
Buna wuba yuvula: —Vayi benu veka, lueta tuba ti minu ndidi nani e? Buna Piela wumvutudila: —Ngeyo widi Klisto, wu Nzambi.
21 Esebaxwayisisile walaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu lokhu,
Buna Yesu wuba kamba: —Lubika kamba mambu mama kadi kuidi mutu wumosi.
22 esithi: INdodana yomuntu imele ihlupheke kakhulu, ilahlwe ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali, ibulawe, ibisivuswa ngosuku lwesithathu.
Buna wubuela diaka: —Muana Mutu kafueti mona ziphasi ziwombo ayi bakulutu ba batu, bapfumu zi zinganga ayi minlongi mi mina miela kunloza. Wela vondu vayi wela fuluka mu lumbu kintatu.
23 Wasesithi kubo bonke: Uba umuntu ethanda ukuza ngemva kwami, kazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe insuku ngensuku, angilandele.
Buna wukamba batu boso ti: —Enati mutu tidi kundandakana buna kafueti kukizimbakana niandi veka vayi kabonga dikulusi diandi kadika lumbu ayi kandandakana.
24 Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe, izamlahlekela; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami, yena uzayisindisa.
Bila woso tidi keba luzingu luandi wela luzimbisa vayi wosowela luzimbisa mu diambu diama, buna wela luvukisa.
25 Ngoba kuzamsizani umuntu, uba ezuza umhlaba wonke, kodwa yena uqobo lwakhe azone kumbe alahleke?
Enati mutu beki ntoto wumvimba vayi wukizimbisidi voti wukibivisidiniandi veka, buna ndandu mbi kambaka e?
26 Ngoba loba ngubani olenhloni ngami langamazwi ami, iNdodana yomuntu izakuba lenhloni ngaye, nxa isiza enkazimulweni yayo lekaBaba leyengilosi ezingcwele.
Enati mutu wumfuididi tsoni voti fuidi tsoni mu diambu di mambu mama, buna Muana mutu wela kumfuila tsoni bu kela kuizila mu nkembuꞌandi, mu nkembo wu Tata ayi wu zimbasi zinlongo.
27 Kodwa ngilitshela ngeqiniso: Bakhona abanye kwabemiyo lapha, abangasoze bezwe ukufa, baze babone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti batu bankaka badi vava balendi ba fuako nate bela mona kipfumu ki Nzambi.
28 Kwasekusithi emva kwalawomazwi, kungaba zinsuku eziyisificaminwembili, wathatha uPetro loJohane loJakobe, wakhwela entabeni ukuyakhuleka.
Dinana di bilumbu bu bivioka, landila mambu momo, Yesu wubonga Piela, Yowani ayi Zaki ayi wuyenda ku mbata mongo mu kuenda sambila.
29 Kwasekusithi ekukhulekeni kwakhe, isimo sobuso bakhe saphenduka, lesembatho sakhe saba mhlophe, sacwazimula.
Mu thangu kaba sambila, zizi kiandi kikituka, minledi miandimieka miphembi dio lio, milezama banga lusiemo.
30 Njalo khangela, akhuluma laye amadoda amabili, ayengoMozisi loElija;
Batu buadi baba solula yandi: Moyize ayi Eli.
31 abonakala ngenkazimulo akhuluma ngokusuka kwakhe ayezakuphelelisa eJerusalema.
Mu bawu mu monika nkembo. Bayolukila lufua lolo kela dukisa ku Yelusalemi.
32 Kodwa uPetro lababelaye babesindwe yibuthongo; kodwa sebephapheme babona inkazimulo yakhe, lamadoda amabili ayemi laye.
Piela ayi bakundi bandi buadi baba baleka. Mu thandu bakotuka, bamona nkembo wu Yesu ayi bamona batu beni baba buadi baba yandi.
33 Kwasekusithi, ekwehlukaneni kwawo laye, uPetro wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, kuhle ukuthi sibe lapha; futhi asakhe amadumba amathathu, elinye ngelakho, lelinye ngelikaMozisi, lelinye ngelikaElija; engakwazi akutshoyo.
Mu thangu batu beni baba nduka vambana ayi Yesu, Piela wunkamba: —Pfumu, bulutidi mboti tukala kuetu vava. Tueka tunga zinzozitatu zikapu: yimosi mu diambu diaku, yimosi mu diambu di Moyize, yimosi mu diambu di Eli. Vayi kasia zaba ko mambu momo katuba.
34 Kwathi ekhuluma lezizinto, kwafika iyezi labasibekela; basebesesaba ekungeneni kwabo eyezini.
Buna wukidi tubi, dituti dimosi diyiza ayi diba fukidila. Buna minlonguki mimona tsisi mu thangu mikota mu dituti.
35 Kwasekuphuma ilizwi eyezini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; zwanini yona.
Buna mbembo yitotuka mu dituti beni yiwakana: —Niandu niandi Muanꞌama wundisobula, lunwila!
36 Kwathi ilizwi selifikile, uJesu waficwa eyedwa. Kodwa bona bathula, kabaze batshela muntu ngalezonsuku okunye kwalezozinto abazibonileyo.
Mbembo yoyo bu yiwakana, Yesu niandi veka wusiala. Vayi bawu baba dio sui; Mu bilumbu bina basia yolukila ko kadi kuidi mutu wumosi mambu momo bamona.
37 Kwasekusithi ngelanga elilandelayo, sebehlile entabeni, ixuku elikhulu lamhlangabeza.
Mu lumbu kilanda bu baba kuluka mongo, nkangu wu batu wuyiza dengana Yesu.
38 Njalo khangela, indoda exukwini yamemeza, isithi: Mfundisi, ngiyakuncenga, bona indodana yami, ngoba yiyo yodwa ezelweyo yami;
Muna nkangu beni mutotukila mutu wumosi wuyamikina: —A Nlongi, ndikuleba, tala muanꞌama wubakala. Wawu kaka muana widi yama.
39 njalo khangela, umoya uyayibamba, futhi ihle iklabalale, njalo uyihlukuze, ikhihlize amagwebu, uphume nzima kuyo, uyihluzule.
Mpeve yawu kumbuila, buna muana wunyamikinanga. Mpeve beni yinkuntutumunanga, yikuntotulanga difulu ayi bu yimeni kumvongisa bunabosi yinkumbikanga.
40 Njalo ngincenge abafundi bakho ukuthi bawukhuphe, kodwa abenelisanga.
Ndebidingi minlonguki miaku muingi miyitotula vayi misi nunganga ko.
41 UJesu wasephendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo lesonakeleyo, kuzaze kube nini ngilani, ngilibekezelela? Ilethe lapha indodana yakho.
Buna Yesu wuvutula: —Tsungi yikambulu minu ayi yimbimbi! Zithangu zikua ndielakadilanga yeno diaka va kimosi? Zithangu zikua ndiela buela kangilanga ntima mu bila kieno e? Buna wukamba mutu beni ti: —Tuala muanꞌaku vava!
42 Kuthe iseza, idimoni layidabula layihlukuza; kodwa uJesu wawukhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wamsilisa umntwana, wambuyisela kuyise.
Mu thangu muana kaba fikama, mpeve yimbimbi yinlumba va ntotoayi yitona kuntutumuna ngolo. Buna Yesu wutemina mu kingolo mpeveyimbimbi. Buna wubelusa muana wubakala ayi wutambika wawu kuidi Siandi.
43 Bonke basebemangaliswa kakhulu yibukhulu bukaNkulunkulu. Kwathi bemangele bonke ngazo zonke izinto uJesu azenzileyo, wathi kubafundi bakhe:
Babo basimina mu diambu di bunneni bu Nzambi. Buna babo bakidi simina mu diambu di mambu moso momo Yesu kaba vanganga, buna wukamba minlonguki miandi:
44 Fakani lina endlebeni zenu lamazwi: Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa ezandleni zabantu.
—Lulunda bumbote mama luwilu bila Muana Mutu weka yekulu mu mioko mi batu.
45 Kodwa kabaqedisisanga lumutsho, njalo wawufihlakele kubo, ukuze bangawuzwisisi; basebesesaba ukumbuza ngalumutsho.
Vayi minlonguki misia sudika ko mambu momo. Baba suekila tsundu yi mambu beni mu diambu mibika sudika. Ayi mimona tsisi mu yuvula tsunduyi mambu momo.
46 Kwasekungena ukuphikisana phakathi kwabo, ukuthi ngubani ongaba mkhulu kubo.
Ziphaka zitotuka mu bawu na bawu mu diambu di zaba nani lutidi munneni.
47 Kwathi uJesu ebona ukunakana kwenhliziyo yabo, wathatha umntwana omncane, wammisa phansi kwakhe,
Yesu bu kazaba mayindu mawu ma mintima miawu, wubonga muanalezi, wuntedimisa va ndambu andi
48 wasesithi kubo: Loba ngubani owemukela lumntwana omncane ebizweni lami wemukela mina; njalo loba ngubani owemukela mina wemukela ongithumileyo; ngoba omncinyane kini lonke nguye ozakuba mkhulu.
ayi wuba kamba: —Woso mutu wunyakula muana wawu mu dizina diama buna minu kuandi kayakudi. Ayi woso wundiakudi buna yakudi diaka mutu wowo wuntuma. Bila woso lutidi keva mu beno, buna niandi lutidi munneni.
49 UJohane wasephendula wathi: Nkosi, sabona omunye ekhupha amadimoni ngebizo lakho, sasesimenqabela, ngoba engalandeli kanye lathi.
Buna Yowani wunkamba: —A nlongi, tumueningi mutu wumosi wulembu totulanga ziphevizimbimbi mu dizina diaku. Vayi tunkandikidingi bila kadiatanga yetu va kimosi ko.
50 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Lingamenqabeli, ngoba ongamelani lathi ungakithi.
Vayi Yesu wumvutudila ti: —Lubika kunkandika bila woso kambulu bumbeni kudi beno buna ku ndambu eno kadi.
51 Kwathi seziphelelisiwe insuku zokwenyuka kwakhe, yena wasekhangelisa ubuso bakhe ukuya eJerusalema,
Thangu yoyi Yesu kafueti kuendila ku diyilu bu yifuana, bunawubaka lukanu lu kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
52 wasethuma izithunywa phambi kobuso bakhe; zasezihamba zangena emzaneni wamaSamariya, ukuze zimlungisele.
Wufidisa mimvuala ku ntualꞌandi. Buna miyenda mikota mu buala bumosi bu Samali mu diambu minkubikila nleko.
53 Kodwa kawamemukelanga, ngoba ubuso bakhe babukhangele eJerusalema.
Vayi basi Samali bamanga ku ntambula bila ku Yelusalemi kaba kuenda.
54 Kwathi abafundi bakhe uJakobe loJohane bebona lokhu bathi: Nkosi, uyathanda yini ukuthi sitsho ukuthi umlilo wehle uvela ezulwini, ubaqothule, njengoba loElija wenza?
Minlonguki miandi, Zaki ayi Yowani, bu mimona bobo, mituba: —Pfumu, tidi tutumina mbazu, yintotukila ku diyilu, yibuila batu baba muingi yiba yoka?
55 Kodwa watshibilika wabakhuza, esithi: Alazi ukuthi lina lingabomoya onjani.
Vayi Yesu wubaluka ayi wuba temina.
56 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu kayizanga ukuthi ibhubhise imiphefumulo yabantu, kodwa ukuyisindisa. Basebesedlulela komunye umzana.
Buna bayenda ku buala bunkaka.
57 Kwasekusithi behamba endleleni, umuntu othile wathi kuye: Nkosi, ngizakulandela loba ngaphi lapho oya khona.
Buna bakidi mu nzila mutu wumosi wuyiza kamba Yesu: —Nlongi thidi kulandakana koso ku wunkuenda.
58 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Amakhanka alemilindi, lenyoni zezulu zilezidleke; kodwa iNdodana yomuntu kayilalapho engaqamelisa ikhanda khona.
Yesu wumvutudila: —Mimbaku midi ayi minsuku miawu momo mieta leka ayi zinuni zidiayi zindiala ziawu vayi muana mutu kasi ko buangu kivundisila ntu andi.
59 Wasesithi komunye: Ngilandela. Kodwa yena wathi: Nkosi, ngivumela ukuthi ngiyengcwaba ubaba kuqala.
Yesu wukamba kuidi wunkaka: —Ngeyo ndandakana. Vayi mutu beni wumvutudila: —A Pfumu, phani minsua ndienda tuami ziki siama.
60 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Yekela abafileyo bangcwabe ababo abafileyo; kodwa wena hamba utshumayele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Bika bazika batu bawu bafua vayi ngeyo yenda samuna Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
61 Lomunye wasesithi: Ngizakulandela, Nkosi; kodwa ngivumela kuqala ukuthi ngiyevalelisa abasendlini yami.
Wunkaka diaka wunkamba: —A Pfumu, ndiela kulandakana vayi bika theti ndienda vanimboti zitsuka kuidi dikanda diama.
62 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Kakho othi esebeke isandla sakhe ekhubeni, akhangele kokusemuva, ofanele umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Vayi Yesu wumvutudila: —Mutu wowo simbidi tsengu mu sala mu tsola vayi tedi ku manima, kasi fuana ko mu diambu di Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
