1 Alu golo lampu naakumyanv okv toakunam vdwv achialvgo Jisu gvlo tvvdubv aatoku,
Kwasekusondela kuye bonke abathelisi lezoni, ukumuzwa.
2 Parisis vdwvla Pvbv tamsarnv vdwv minsiminpit rapto, “So nyi si toa kunam vdwa naarwk sidu okv bunua lvkobvka dvbam tvdu!”
AbaFarisi lababhali basebesola besithi: Lo wemukela izoni, adle lazo.
3 Vkvlvgabv Jisu bunua so minchisinam sum mintam toku:
Wasebatshela lumfanekiso, esithi:
4 “Vkv aingbv nonugv lokv akonv svlar ngv lwnggo doore okv bunugv lokv akonyi ngemure-nw ogu rireku? Nw chamkia gula kia nga nvmwnglo kayupila okv ngenv akin a kaapama dvdvlo makar reku.
Nguwuphi umuntu kini ongathi elezimvu ezilikhulu, abeselahlekelwa ngenye yazo, ongazitshiyi ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye egangeni, alandele elahlekileyo, aze ayithole?
5 Vdwlo nw mapa rikudw nw achialvbv mvngpu laku hum ninyigv gorbwnglo vvpv toku.
Njalo athi eseyitholile ayetshate ethokoza.
6 Okv um naam lo bakkor lwktoku. Vbvrikunamv nw ninyigv ajin vdwa okv namrwk vdwa gokkum tokula bunua mintoku, ‘Ngo achialvbv mvngpu duku ngo ngoogv svlar ngenv anga paakunamv. Klvi ngonu naayap lakuju!’
Esefikile ekhaya, abizele ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, esithi kubo: Thokozani lami, ngoba ngithole imvu yami ebilahlekile.
7 Ho apiabv, ngo nonua mindunv, nyidomooku tolo hum kaiyabv mvngpure rimurnv nyi go mvngdin kubolo chamkia gula kia yvv mvngdin kusegu kaakumanv mamsenga.”
Ngithi kini: Ngokunjalo kuzakuba khona intokozo ezulwini ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo, kulabalungileyo abangamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye, abangasweli ukuphenduka.
8 “Vmalo nyimv nvgo ain lokdwng charring go doonv chargunyi ngemu toku—nw ogu ripvku? Nw mvdurrupum a baanu toku, ninyigv naam a pakak toku, okv kaapama dvdvlobv um alvyaungbv kaakar toku.
Loba nguwuphi umfazi othi elenhlamvu zesiliva ezilitshumi, uba elahlekelwa luhlamvu olulodwa lwesiliva, angalumathisi isibane, athanyele indlu, adingisise aze aluthole?
9 Vdwlo nw hum kaapa tokudw, nw ninyigv ajin vdwa okv namrwk ajin vdwa gokdum sitoku, okv bunua mintoku, ‘Ngo achialvbv mvngpu dukunv ngo ngoogv ngemu kunam lokdwng nga paapvku. Klvi ngonu naayap lakuju!’
Njalo nxa eselutholile ubizela ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, athi: Thokozani lami, ngoba sengilutholile uhlamvu lwesiliva ebengilahlekelwe yilo.
10 Ngo nonua mindu, ho apiabv rimurnv nyi gunv mvngdin kubolo vkvgv aolo Pwknvyarnv gv gindungpingko vdwv achialvbv mvngpu yadunv.”
Ngokunjalo, ngithi kini, ikhona intokozo phambi kwezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo.
11 Jisu mimbwngla minto, “Ho hoka nyi akonv nw kuunyilo anyigo dooto.
Wasesithi: Umuntu othile wayelamadodana amabili;
12 Boruya angv ninyia minto, ‘Abu, vjak yikungyira ngo gvnga ngam jilabv,’ Vkvlvgabv abu hv yikungyira vdwa kuunyilo anyi gv pingkolo orpin sitoku.
encinyane yawo yasisithi kuyise: Baba, nginika isabelo sempahla esiqondene lami. Wasewehlukanisela impahla.
13 Lonyi loum kochinglo boruya angv ninyigv yikungyira vdwa pyoktoku okv morko nga gvtokula naam a vngyu toku. Nw adu koko mookulo vngtoku, hoka nw rikunamv ninyigv morko nga mvnam mvsubv mva toku.
Njalo kungelansuku ezinengi emva kwalokhu indodana encinyane yabutha konke yasuka yahamba yaya elizweni elikhatshana, njalo lapho yachitha khona impahla yayo, iphila okobuhlanya.
14 Nw vdwgo gvku bvdw hum mvnwngnga mva toku. Vbvrikunamv dvmayarwng go ho mooku hoka vngtoku, okv nw hoka oguka kaaku mabv ramkar toku.
Yathi isichithile konke, kwavela indlala enkulu kulelolizwe, yona yasiqala ukuswela.
15 Vkvlvgabv nw ho mookugv nyi gonvgv lvgabv kudungkua riji dukubv vngtoku, hv ninyia ninyigv rongo adukolo lo vrik kaaria modubv vnglin motoku.
Yasisuka yazihlanganisa lesinye sezakhamizi zalelolizwe; njalo sayithuma emasimini aso ukuze yeluse izingulube.
16 Nw ninyigv dvse a vrik gv dvnam dvku lokv dvsu tvnvpv mvngto, vbvritola yvvka ninyia dvnam jinv kaama toku.
Yasifisa ukugcwalisa isisu sayo ngamakhasi ingulube eziwadlayo; njalo kwakungelamuntu oyinika ulutho.
17 Anyung anya nga ninyigv haapok lo mvngchin raptoku okv mintoku, ‘Ngo Abu gv nyi riria modubv goknam mvnwng hvka bunu dvnam a dvlv kumabv dvmin duku, okv ngo soka kano gvbv sakap tvya dukunv!
Kwathi ingqondo yayo isibuyile yathi: Zingaki izisebenzi zikababa eziqhatshiweyo ezilezinkwa ezinengi kakhulu, kanti mina ngiyafa yindlala;
18 Ngo gudung reku okv Abu gvlo vngreku, okv minreku, Abu, ngo Pwknvyarnv nyila okv nam la rinyingla rimur tokubv.
ngizasukuma ngiye kubaba, ngithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini, laphambi kwakho;
19 Ngo noogv kuunyilo ngv vla mindubv riya kuma; no nga noogv riria nvbv goknam nyi ako bv mvngla kubvka,’
njalo kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngithiwe ngiyindodana yakho; ngenza ngibe njengomunye wezisebenzi zakho eziqhatshiweyo.
20 Vkvlvgabv nw gudung toku okv ninyigv Abu gvlo vla vngkur raptoku. “Nw vjakgobv naam vngchi sengv lamtv ngv adudvto hoka ninyigv Abu hv ninyia kaapa toku; nw haapok v hau toku, okv nw joktoku, okv ninyigv laak hv ninyigv kuunyilo nga jarbwng toku, okv ninyia moopupdvtak toku.
Yasisukuma yaya kuyise. Kodwa kuthe isesekhatshana, uyise wayibona, waba lesihelo, wagijima wawela entanyeni yayo, wayanga.
21 Kuunyilo ngv mintoku, ‘Abu, ngo Pwknvyarnv nyila nam la rinyingla rimur tokubv. Ngo noogv kuunyilo ngv vla mindubv riya kuma.’
Indodana yasisithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini laphambi kwakho, futhi kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngokuthi ngiyindodana yakho.
22 Vbvritola Abu hv ninyigv pakbu vdwa goktoku. ‘Baapubv!’ nw minto. ‘Jvtvlaklwk alvyachok nvnga bvnglwkto okv ninyia pilwkto. Ninyigv lakchinglo lakchup go pilwkto okv ninyigv lvpa lo lvsup goka.
Kodwa uyise wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Khuphani lilethe isembatho esihle kakhulu liyigqokise, lifake indandatho esandleni sayo, lamanyathela enyaweni zayo;
23 Vbvrikunamv vngnyika okv svbv bakboknv akonyi paala hum mvki tvka, okv klvi ngonu naayapla dvpam go pamla kuju!
lilethe ithole elinonisiweyo lilihlabe, njalo sidle sithokoze;
24 Ngoogv kuunyilo angv si sirokunv ngv, vbvritola vjak nw turpvku; nw ngooro kunvngv, vbvritola vjak ninyia paapv kunv.’ Okv vkvlvgabv dvpam ha pamrap toku.”
ngoba indodana yami le ibifile, isibuye yaphila; ibilahlekile, itholiwe; basebeqala ukuthokoza.
25 “Vbvrire hoka kuunyilo achi yangv agum rongolo rito. Ninyigv lamtvlo vngkur rikulo, vdwlo naam aachidvlv bv riri hoka, nw giomin okv soomin namgv sidu a tvvpa toku.
Kodwa indodana yakhe endala yayisensimini; yathi isiza isondela endlini, yezwa ukuhlabelela lokusina.
26 Vkvlvgabv nw pakbu ako goklwkla okv ninyia tvvkato, ‘Ogugo ridung dunvla?’
Yasibizela kuyo omunye wezinceku, yabuza ukuthi zitshoni lezizinto.
27 ‘Noogv boruv naam aakur pvku,’ pakbuv mirwkto, ‘Okv noogv Abu svbv babok yachok nvgonyi paki pvkunv, ogulvgavbolo nw ninyia ayak alvdvkubv paakunam lvgabv.’
Yasisithi kuyo: Umfowenu ufikile; loyihlo uhlabile ithole elinonisiweyo, ngoba ememukele ephila.
28 Achi yangv achialvbv kvchakbriak laila nw naam arwnglo aamato; vkvlvgabv ninyigv Abu agumlo linto okv ninyia arwng aatokv vla kodwkkrwkla minto.
Kodwa yathukuthela, ayizange ifune ukungena; ngakho uyise waphuma wayincenga.
29 Vbvritola nw ninyigv Abunyi mirwksito, ‘Kaatoka, anying mvnwnglo ngo nyira jvbv noogv lvgabv kudungkua nga rijito, okv ngo noogv minam a vdwloka tvvmabv rinam kaama. No nga ogugo jipv? Ngoogv ajin vdwaka lvkobv dvpam dvgv laka vla yabin akoka ka jinam kaama!
Kodwa yaphendula yathi kuyise: Khangela, iminyaka engaka ngikusebenzela, kangizange ngeqe umlayo wakho, kodwa kawuzange unginike lazinyane lembuzi, ukuze ngijabule kanye labangane bami.
30 Vbvritola noogv kuunyilo angv si noogv yikungyira mvnwngnga randi vdwlo mva nvmin kunvngv, okv vdwlo nw naam aakur kunamv no ninyigv lvgabv svbv bakbok nvgonyi paki jiminla!’
Kodwa kuthe isifikile lindodana yakho eyachitha impahla yakho lezifebe, wayihlabela ithole elinonisiweyo.
31 Abu v mirwkto, ‘Ngoogv kuunyilo nga,’ ‘no ngam alu loki a lvkobv doobwng kunvngv, okv ngo ogugo doopv kudw mvnwngngv nokvku.
Wasesithi kuyo: Ndodana, wena uhlezi ulami, futhi konke okungokwami kungokwakho.
32 Vbvritola ngonuv naayap segorung okv mvngpu segorung, ogulvgavbolo no gv boruv siro kunvngv, vbvritola vjak nw turpvku; nw ngero toku, vbvritola vjak ninyia paapvku.’”
Kodwa bekufanele ukujabula lokuthokoza; ngoba umfowenu lo owayefile, usebuye waphila; wayelahlekile, utholiwe.
