Luka 8
1 Kufumapo Yesu walendana muminshi, kaya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa Bwami bwa Lesa, walikuba ne beshikwiya bali likumi ne babili.
Ngemva kwalokho uJesu wahambahamba engena kuleli laleli idolobho lemizi, ememezela izindaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu. Abalitshumi lambili babelaye,
2 Ne batukashi nabamb balafunyiwa mishimu yaipa ne malwashi, Maliya waku Magadala uyo walikukute mishimu yaipa isanu ne ibili
kanye labesifazane ababesiliswe emimoyeni emibi lemikhuhlaneni: uMariya (owayethiwa nguMagadalini) okwakuphume kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa;
3 Yowana mukashi wa Kuza uyo walikuba kapitawo wa Helode, Susana, kayi ne nabambi bangi balikunyamfwilisha Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi kusebensesha mali abo.
uJowana umkaTshuza, umlawuli wendlu kaHerodi; uSusana labanye abanengi. Abesifazane laba babebasiza ngabakuswelayo.
4 Bantu bangi balabungana kwalikuba Yesu kufuma muminshi. Lino nendi walabapa mukoshanyo eti,
Kwathi sekubuthana ixuku labantu elikhulu labantu besiza kuJesu beqhamuka emadolobheni atshiyeneyo wabatshela lo umzekeliso:
5 “Kwalikuba muntu umbi walaya akumwaya imbuto. Lino mpwalikumwaya, shimbi imbuto shalalakila munshila shalalyataulwa, bikeni byalashilya.
“Umlimi waphuma wayahlanyela. Wathi elokhu eyihaza inhlanyelo, eyinye yawela endleleni; yanyathelwa, izinyoni zemoyeni zayidobha.
6 Shimbi mbuto shalalakila pabulongo bwamabwe. Mposhalamena, misonga yalatatika kuyuma pakwinga kwalabula katonto mubulongo,
Eyinye yawela edwaleni, yathi isathi iyakhula yabuna ngoba yayingelabumanzi.
7 Shimbi imbuto shalalakila patufukusa twa myunga, lino tufukusa pakukula twalatatika kushantilila.
Eyinye inhlanyelo yawela phakathi kwameva, akhula kanye layo ayiminyezela.
8 Nomba shimbi imbuto shalalakila pabulongo bwaina. Shalakula ne kwikata myanda myanda.” Lino Yesu walamba ne liswi lyapelu kwambeti, “uyo ukute matwi, anyumfwe!”
Eyinye inhlanyelo yawela emhlabathini ovundileyo. Yakhula yathela amabele, yanda ngekhulu.” Wathi esetsho lokhu wamemeza wathi, “Lowo olendlebe zokuzwa, kezwe.”
9 Beshikwiya bakendi balamwipusha pabupandulwishi bwa mukoshanyo uwu.
Abafundi bakhe bambuza ukuthi umzekeliso lowo wawusitshoni.
10 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Amwe mwalapewa kwinshiba bintu byasolama bya Bwami bwa Lesa. Nsombi bambi bakute kunyumfwa bambilwa mumikoshanyo ekwambeti, ‘balangishishe, nomba babule kubona’ Kayi ‘Bakutike, nsombi batanyumfwishisha.’”
Wathi, “Ulwazi lwemfihlo yombuso kaNkulunkulu seluphiwe lina, kodwa kwabanye ngikhuluma kubo ngemizekeliso, ukuze kuthi, ‘loba bekhangele, bangaboni; loba besizwa, bengaqedisisi.’
11 Kupandulula kwa mukoshanyo wa mbuto ni uku, imbuto ni Maswi a Lesa.
Nansi ingcazelo yomzekeliso: Inhlanyelo iyilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
12 Isho imbuto shalalakila munshila shakoshana ne bantu beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, nomba pacindi cing'ana, Satana ukute kwafunya mumyoyo yabo kwambeti babule kushoma ne kupuluka.
Labo abasendleleni ngabalizwayo, kodwa uSathane eze alihluthune ilizwi ezinhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangakholwa basindiswe.
13 Isho imbuto shalalakila pabulongo bwa mabwe shakoshana ne bantu abo balanyumfunga Maswi a Lesa ne kwatambula cakusangalala sombi pakwinga baliya miyanda yashimpa bakute kushoma kwa kacindi kang'ana neco na balasunkwa bakute kuwa.
Labo abasokhetheni ngabemukela ilizwi ngentokozo nxa belizwa, kodwa kabalampande. Bayakholwa okwesikhatshana, kodwa kuthi ngesikhathi sobunzima bawe.
14 Isho imbuto shalalakila pamyunga shakoshana ne bantu beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, nomba miyeyo yakuyanda bubile ne byeshikukondwelesha bikute kubakoma, neco nkabekata bisepo byakoma,
Inhlanyelo eyawela emeveni imele labo abezwayo, kodwa baqhubeke ngeyabo indlela bakhanywe yizinhlupheko zempilo, inotho kanye lezikholisisayo, bangabe besakhula baphelele.
15 Nsombi isho shalalakila mubulongo bwaina, shakosna ne bantu beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, ne kwaikata ne kushoma mumyoyo yabo yaina, neco bakute kulimbikila mpaka kwikata bisepo.
Kodwa inhlanyelo esemhlabathini ovundileyo imele labo abalenhliziyo enhle, elungileyo, abalizwayo ilizwi, baligcine bathi ngokubambelela bathele izithelo.”
16 “Kuliya muntu welela kumunika lampi ne kulifwekelela ne nongo nambi kubika mwinshi lyatebulu. Nsombi ukute ubika pelu kwambeti limunikile abo beti bengile mung'anda.”
“Kakho olumathisa isibane asifihle ngaphansi kwesitsha kumbe asibeke ngaphansi kombheda. Kodwa usibeka esiqobaneni ukuze labo abangenayo babone ukukhanya.
17 “Pakwinga kuliya cintu casolama ceti cikabule kuyubulululwa patuba, kayi cintu ciliconse casolekwa ni cikabonekele patuba.
Ngoba kakukho okufihliweyo okungayi kudazululwa, njalo akukho okuthukuziweyo okungayikwaziwa kumbe kuvezwe obala.
18 “Neco kamucenjelani mbuli ncomukute kunyufwa Maswi a Lesa. Pakwinga uyo ukute kendi nakabikilwepo, nsombi uyo wabula kantu nibakamulamune konse nkakute.”
Ngakho nanzelelani ukuthi lilalela kanjani. Lowo olakho uzakwengezelelwa; lowo ongelakho lalokho athi ulakho uzakwemukwa.”
19 Lino banyina Yesu ne bamakwabo balashika nkwalikuba, lino baliya kucikonsha kushika pepi nendiye pacebo cakwambeti bantu balikuba bangi.
Unina kaJesu labafowabo beza ukuzambona, kodwa behluleka ukufinyelela kuye ngenxa yokuminyana kwabantu.
20 Lino muntu naumbi walambila Yesu eti, “Bamanyenu ne bakwenu bemana pansa, balandanga kumubona.”
Omunye wamtshela wathi, “Unyoko labafowenu bakulindele phandle, bafuna ukukubona.”
21 Nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Bama ne bakwetu niyabo beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa nekwinsa ncalambanga.”
Waphendula wathi, “Umama labafowethu yilabo abalizwayo ilizwi likaNkulunkulu balenze.”
22 Busuba nabumbi Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balengila mubwato, Yesu walambeti, “Katutampukilani kutala kwa lwenje kusa.” Popelapo balanyamuka.
Ngelinye ilanga uJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe, “Kasiyeni ngaphetsheya kwechibi.” Basebengena esikepeni bahamba.
23 Lino bwato mpobwalikuya, Yesu walona. Kwalesa cilukupwe cinene pamenshi. Bwato bwalatatika kwisula ne menshi kabuyanda pepi nekwibila.
Bathe belokhu behamba yena walala. Kwafika isiphepho echibini isikepe saqalisa ukugalula, baba sengozini embi.
24 Kufumapo beshikwiya balaya kuli Yesu ne kumwambileti, “Mwami, Mwami, kamupundukani tulafu!” Lino Yesu walapunduka walakalalila lukupwe ne mankape alamwena tonto
Abafundi bahamba bayamvusa besithi, “Nkosi, Nkosi, sesigalula bo!” Wavuka wawukhuza umoya kanye lamagagasi; isiphepho sadeda, kwasekuthula cwaka.
25 Lino Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Nomba lushomo lwenu lulikupeyo?” Nabo balatina nekupwilwa mano nkabepushanyeti, “Nomba uyu nimuntu uli econi lambilinga lukupwe nalo lulamunyumfwilinga?”
Wababuza abafundi bakhe, wathi, “Kungaphi ukukholwa kwenu?” Babuzana ngokumangala lokwesaba bathi, “Kanti ungubani lo? Ukhuza kanye lomoya lamanzi kumlalele.”
26 Balo balashika kucishi ca Gelasa calangana ne cishi ca Galileya.
Bagwedla isikepe baya emangweni wamaGerazini, okungaphetsheya kwechibi kusuka eGalile.
27 Yesu mpwalafuma mubwato walakumanya, mutuloba naumbi walafuma mumunshi. Mutuloba usa walikukute mishimu yaipa. Lingi walikwenda matakosha, nkalikwikala pa ng'anda nsombi mumaceni akumanda.
Kwathi uJesu esehla okhunjini wahlangabezwa yindoda eyayiledimoni iqhamuka ngasedolobheni. Indoda le yayisilesikhathi eside ingavunuli zigqoko, ingahlali endlini, kodwa ihlala emathuneni.
28 Mpwalamubona Yesu, walolobesha ne kufukama kuntangu ne kwamba ne liswi lya pelu eti, “Nomba ndamwinshi cani amwe Yesu mwanendi Lesa wakwilu wapitapo? Ndamusengenga mutampesha.”
Yathi ibona uJesu yahlaba umkhosi yazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe iklabalala ngelizwi elikhulu isithi, “Ufuna ukungenzani, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngiyakuncenga, ungaze wangihlukuluza!”
29 Walambeco pakwinga Yesu walambila mushimu waipa eti ufumemo muli endiye. Mankanda angi mushimu wamwikata, nambi bantu bamusunga makasa ne ncetani kayi ne nshimbi kumyendo eti bamululamike, wali kasutula. Lino mishimu yaipa yalikumutwala ku cisuwa.
Ngoba uJesu wayeseyale umoya omubi ukuthi uphume kuleyondoda. Izikhathi ezinengi wawumbamba, kuthi loba ebotshwe ngamaketane ezandleni lezinyaweni njalo elindiwe, wayewaqamula amaketane idimoni limuse enkangala.
30 Lino Yesu wamwipusheti, “Njobe bani?” Neye walakumbuleti, “Njame likoto” Walambeco pakwinga walikukute mishimu yaipa ingi.
UJesu wambuza wathi, “Ungubani ibizo lakho?” Waphendula wathi, “NginguLigiyoni,” ngoba amadimoni amanengi ayengene kuye.
31 Lino popelapo mishimu yaipa iyo yalamupapata Yesu eti ataitandanyina kucisengu citali. (Abyssos g12)
Amncenga ukuthi angawalayi ukuthi ayewolokohlela emgodini ongelamkhawulo. (Abyssos g12)
32 Lino mwinshi mwa mulundu mwalikuba litanga linene lya nkumba lyali kalilya. lino mishimu yaipa isa yalasenga Yesu eti yenga ingile munkumba isho, neye walaisuminisha.
Umhlambi omkhulu wengulube wawusidla khonapho eceleni koqaqa. Amadimoni amncenga uJesu ukuthi awavumele ukuyangena engulubeni, laye wawavumela.
33 Lino yalafumamo mumutuloba usa ne kwingila munkumba, Lino litanga lyonse lyalaselemukila kumukolo lubilo kuya kulwenje nekuya kuliwalamo nekufwilamo.
Amadimoni aphuma endodeni ayangena ezingulubeni, umhlambi wathi zimu usehlela eliweni lodonga wangena echibini wagalula.
34 Beshikwembela nkumba mpobalaboneco, balaya akwambila bantu balikwikala mumusena kayi ne muminshi calenshika.
Labo ababezelusile bonela ukubona okwasekwenzakele babaleka bayabika edolobheni lemangweni wakhona,
35 Neco bantu balesa akubona calenshika. Mpobalashika kwalikuba Yesu, balacana muntu walafunyiwa mishimu yaipa wekala pepi ne Yesu kaliwafwala, mano kali akwana cena. Lino bantu balatina.
abantu basebeqonda khonale ukuyabona okwasekwenzakele. Bathi befika kuJesu bayifumana indoda okwakukhutshwe kuyo amadimoni ihlezi ezinyaweni zikaJesu, igqokile njalo ingqondo isibuyile; besaba kakhulu.
36 Bantu balabona byalenshika balambila bantu mbuli ncalaba cena muntu uyo walikuba ne mishimu yaipa.
Labo ababebonile kusenzakala batshela abantu ukuthi indoda eyayiphethwe lidimoni yasiliswa njani.
37 Lino bantu bonse balikwikala mucishi ca Gelasa balapapatila Yesu eti afumemo mucishi cabo pacebo cakwambeti balatina. Kufumapo walengila mubwato kwambeti abwelele
Kwasekusithi bonke abantu bomango wamaGerazini bamcela uJesu ukuthi kasuke kubo ngoba babekhulelwa yikwesaba. Ngakho wangena esikepeni wahamba.
38 Lino mutuloba uyo walafunyiwa mishimu yaipa walasenga Yesu eti benga bonse, linoYesu walamukanisha ne kumwambileti,
Indoda leyo eyakhutshwa amadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ahambe layo, kodwa uJesu wala wathi,
39 “Bwelela kucomwenu uye wambe bintu byonse Lesa mbyalakwinshili. Popelapo muntu usa walaya mumunshi wonse kaya kwamba sha bintu Yesu mbyalamwinshila.”
“Buyela ekhaya uyefakaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukwenzeleni.” Yikho indoda yahamba yafakaza kulolonke idolobho konke uJesu ayeyenzele khona.
40 Lino Yesu mpwalabwelela kulubasu lumbi lwa lwenje bantu bangi balamutambula, balikuba bakondwa pakwinga bonse bali kaba mupembelela.
Kwathi uJesu esebuyile wahlangabezwa lixuku labantu elikhulu, ngoba bonke babemlindele.
41 Lino kwalesa muntu wali kukwiweti Yailo uyo wali kutangunina ng'anda yakupaililamo walesa kusuntama kuntangu kwa Yesu ne kumusengeti ayenga kung'anda yakendi.
Indoda eyayithiwa nguJayirosi, umbusi wesinagogu, yeza yazilahla ezinyaweni zikaJesu, imncenga ukuthi eze endlini yayo
42 pakwinga mwanendi mutukashi wa myaka likumi ne ibili mwana umowa, ngwalikukute wali kakolwa cakwambeti ngofwa. Yesu mpwalikuya, bantu bangi balamushankanya.
ngoba indodakazi yayo eyodwa zwi, intombazana eyayileminyaka elitshumi lambili, yayisifa. Kwathi uJesu esesiya khona abantu baminyezela ingathi bazampatshaza.
43 Palikuba mutukashi naumbi walikukolwa bulwashi bwa mukunko kwa byaka likumi ne bibili. Walapwisha buboni bwakendi bonse mubang'anga, nsombi kuliya muntu nambi umo walakonsha kumusengula.
Khonapho kwakulowesifazane owayeseleminyaka elitshumi lambili esopha kodwa kungekho owayengamelapha.
44 Mutukashi uyo walesa kunyuma kwa Yesu pabantu bangi balikuba bamushinguluka nekwikata kucelele kwamunganjo wakendi, popelapo bulwashi bwamukunko bwalapwa.
Weza ngemva kukaJesu wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe, masinyane nje ukopha kwahle kwaphela.
45 Neco Yesu walepusheti, “Niyani lanjikata ku munganjo?” Bonse bantu balakana eti paliyawa. Petulo walambeti, “Kufula bantu balamukumyunga kayi bantu balamushankanyanga.”
UJesu wabuza wathi, “Ngubani ongithintileyo?” Kwathi ngoba bonke bephika uPhethro wathi, “Nkosi, abantu bayaminyezelana besondela kuwe.”
46 Lino Yesu walambeti, “Nkwali muntu naumbi lanjikata kumunganjo, pakwinga ndanyumfu ngofu shimbi shilafumumo mulinjame.”
Kodwa uJesu wathi, “Ukhona ongithintileyo; ngiyazi ukuthi amandla aphumile kimi.”
47 Lino mutukashi usa mpwalaboneti nkela kusolamapo walalitwala kuli Yesu nkatutuma walawa kuntangu kwakendi Yesu. Ne kwamba byonse pamenso a bantu kabanyumfwa mbuli ncalamwikata kumunganjo ne kuba cena pacindi copeleco.
Owesifazane esebone ukuthi uzacina eboniwe weza ethuthumela wazilahla ezinyaweni zakhe. Wachaza phambi kwabantu bonke ukuthi kungani wayemthintile uJesu lokuthi wasiliswa njani masinyane.
48 Yesu walamwambileti, “Mwaname, pakwinga washoma njame, koya mulumuno.”
UJesu wasesithi kuye, “Ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusilisile. Hamba ngokuthula.”
49 Yesu kacamba kwalesa muntu kufuma ku ng'anda ya mukulene wa ng'anda yakupaililamo ne kumwambila Yailo eti, “Mwanenu lafu kendi, mutapensha beshikwiyisha.”
Kwathi uJesu elokhu esakhuluma omunye weza evela endlini kaJayirasi umphathi wesinagogu, wafika wathi, “Indodakazi yakho isifile. Ungabe usamhlupha umfundisi.”
50 Yesu mpwalanyumfwa makani ayo walambila Yailo eti, “Utatina, koshoma, mwanobe nabe cena.”
UJesu wathi ekuzwa lokhu wathi kuJayirasi, “Ungesabi, kholwa nje kuphela, izasiliswa.”
51 Yesu mpwalashika kung'anda ya Yailo liya kusuminisha muntu nambi umo eti engilemo, nsombi Petulo, Yohane, ne Jemusi kayi ne baishi nebanyina ba mwana.
Wathi esefikile endlini kaJayirasi, kavumelanga muntu ukuthi angene laye ngaphandle kukaPhethro, uJohane loJakhobe, kanye loyise womntwana lonina.
52 Bantu bonse mung'anda bali kabalila mwana mutukashi walikuba wafwa. Necikabeco Yesu walabambileti, “Kamucilekani kulila pakwinga uyu mwana nkafwapo, wonowa tulo.”
Ngalesosikhathi abantu bonke babeqhinqa isililo bekhalela intombazana. UJesu wathi kubo, “Thulani, lingakhali. Kafanga kodwa ulele.”
53 Popelapo bonse balamuwela, pakwinga bonse balikwi shibeti lafu kendi.
Bamhleka usulu uJesu ngoba besazi ukuthi intombazana yayisifile.
54 Lino Yesu walekata mwana uyo pacikasa nekwambeti, “Mwana obe punduka!”
Kodwa wayibamba ngesandla wathi, “Mntanami, vuka!”
55 Popelapo walaba muyumi, walanyamuka. Lino Yesu walabambileti bamupe cakulya mwana alye.
Umoya wayo wabuya, masinyane yasukuma yathi lothu! UJesu wasesithi kabamnike ukudla.
56 Baishi ne banyina ba mwana uyo balakankamana. Lino Yesu walabambileti kamutaya kwambila muntu uliyense pamakani aya alenshiki.
Abazali bakhe bamangala, kodwa wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ngalokho okwakwenzakele.
