Luke 14
1 Lumbu kimosi ki saba, Yesu bu kakota mu dia ku nzo yi pfumuyimosi yi Bafalisi, buna bobo baba muna baba kuntala bumboti.
Kwasekusithi ekungeneni kwakhe ngesabatha endlini yomunye wabakhulu kubaFarisi ukuthi adle isinkwa, bona basebemqaphela.
2 Tala mutu wumosi wuba kimbevo kimvimbu wuba va ntualꞌandi.
Njalo khangela, kwakukhona umuntu othile phambi kwakhe owayelombizankulu.
3 Buna Yesu wuyuvula minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi ti: —Minsua midi mu belusa mutu mu lumbu ki saba e?
UJesu wasephendula wakhuluma lezazumthetho labaFarisi, wathi: Kuvunyelwe yini ukusilisa ngesabatha?
4 Baba kuawu dio sui. Buna Yesu wusimba mutu beni, wumbelusa ayi wumvutula.
Kodwa bathula. Wasembamba wamsilisa wamyekela ukuthi ahambe.
5 Bosi wukamba batu baba vana: —Nani mu beno wuidi muanꞌandi voti ngombiꞌandi vayi zimbukila yidodukidi mu dibulu, wunkambu vika ku yitapula mu lumbu ki saba e?
Wasebaphendula esithi: Nguwuphi kini ongathi elobabhemi kumbe inkabi yakhe ewele emgodini, futhi angahle ayikhuphe ngosuku lwesabatha?
6 Basia vutula kadi diambu ko mu mambu momo.
Abasazange babuyisele impendulo kuye ngalezizinto.
7 Muaki wukamba nongo yimosi mu diambu di bobo batumusubu kamona buevi baba sobudilanga bibuangu binzitusu; ayi wuba kamba:
Wasekhuluma umfanekiso kubo abanxusiweyo, ebona ukuthi bakhetha njani izihlalo zabahloniphekayo, wathi kubo:
8 —Mu thangu bela kutumisa ku nyengo wu makuela buna bika kuenda vuanda va meza va buangu ki nzitusu, ayi zimbukila mutu wumosiwulutidi minsua wutumusu kuidi mutu wowo wutumisa
Nxa unxusiwe ngumuntu emtshadweni, ungahlali esihlalweni sabahloniphekayo; hlezi kukhona omkhulu kulawe onxusiweyo nguye,
9 bila buna mutu wowo wulutumisa ngeyo ayi niandi wela kuiza ayi kukamba: “vana buangu kiaku kuidi mutu wawu”. Buna wela monazitsoni kuenda vuanda ku buangu kitsuka.
futhi okunxusileyo wena laye eze athi kuwe: Mxekele lo; khona uzaqala ukuhlala endaweni esekucineni usulenhloni.
10 Vayi bu bela kutumisa yenda ayi vuanda ku buangu kitsuka mu diambu mutu wowo wulutumisini bu kela kuiza wela ku kamba: “A nkundi ama, yiza vuandi vava”. Buna wela zitisu va ntuala batu bosobela ba yaku va meza.
Kodwa nxa unxusiwe, hamba uhlale endaweni esekucineni; ukuze, nxa efika okunxusileyo, athi kuwe: Mngane, yenyukela ngaphezulu; khona kuzakuba ludumo kuwe phambi kwabo abahlezi ekudleni lawe.
11 Bila woso wukukinangikanga wela kululu ayi woso wukukikululanga wela nanguku.
Ngoba wonke oziphakamisayo uzathotshiswa, lozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.
12 Buna wukamba mutu wowo wuntumisa: —Ngeyo tumisa batu mu dia va muini voti va masika kadi tumisa bakundi baku, bakhomba ziaku, bambuta ziaku voti bamvuama bafikimini yakutala mamvawu babika kutumisa muingi bavutudila mambu momo wuba vangila.
Wasesithi lakulowo owayemnxusile: Nxa usenza ukudla kwemini loba ukudla kwantambama, unganxusi abangane bakho, loba abafowenu, loba izihlobo zakho, loba omakhelwane abanothileyo; hlezi labo babuye bakunxuse, futhi ukwenananiswa kwenziwe kuwe.
13 Vayi mu thangu wumvangisa nyengo, bufueni wutumisa minsukami, babela binama, bantiudikanga, baphofo.
Kodwa nxa usenza idili, nxusa abayanga, izilima, iziqhuli, iziphofu;
14 Ngeyo wela ba mu khini bila batu bobo basi ko kadi kiasa mu diambu bavutudila mambu momo wuba vangila. Buna Nzambi wela kumfuta mu lumbu kioki basonga bela fuluka.
njalo uzabusiswa, ngoba abalalutho lokukwenanisa; ngoba uzakwenaniselwa ekuvukeni kwabalungileyo.
15 Buna mutu wumosi mu bobo baba va meza, bu kawa mambu momowukamba Yesu ti: —Khini kuidi mutu wowo wela dia mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi!
Kwathi omunye kwababehlezi laye ekudleni esezwile lezizinto wathi kuye: Ubusisiwe lowo ozakudla isinkwa embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
16 Yesu wumvutudila: —Mutu wumosi wuvangisa nyengo wunneni, wutumisa batu bawombo.
Kodwa wathi kuye: Umuntu othile wenza ukudla kwantambama okukhulu, wanxusa abanengi.
17 Thangu yi dia bu yifuana, wufidisa kisadi kiandi mu diambu kakamba batu batumusu ti “yizanu bila mamo makubinini.”
Ngesikhathi sokudla kwantambama wasethuma inceku yakhe ukuthi ithi kwabanxusiweyo: Wozani, ngoba sekulungisiwe konke.
18 Vayi babo balomba nlemvo. Wutheti wunkamba: “Tsola ndisumbidi ayi mfueti kaka kuenda kuyitala, diawu ndemvukila.”
Kodwa bonke baqala omunye lomunye ukuzixolisela. Owokuqala wathi kuye: Ngithenge insimu, ngimele ukuhamba ngiyeyibona; ngiyakuncenga, akungixolisele.
19 Wunkaka wukamba: “Dikundi di zingombi ndisumbidi, ziawu ndieka kuenda makisa, diawu wundemvukila.”
Lomunye wathi: Sengithenge izipane ezinhlanu zenkabi, ngiya ukuzilinga; ngiyakuncenga, akungixolisele.
20 Wunkaka wukamba: “Bosi kuandi ndikuedidi, diawu ndilendi baka bu kuizila ko.”
Lomunye wathi: Sengithethe umfazi, ngakho ngingeze ngeza.
21 Kisadi beni bu kivutuka, kiyiza kamba Pfumu andi mambu moso mama. Buna pfumu yi nzo beni wufuema ayi wukamba kisadi kiandi: “Yenda nsualu mu zinzila ayi mu bina bi zinzila zi divula ayi tuala vava: minsukami, babela binama, baphofo ayi bantiudikanga…”
Isibuyile leyonceku yayibikela lezizinto inkosi yayo. Wasethukuthela umninindlu wathi encekwini yakhe: Phuma ngokuphangisa uye emigwaqweni lendleleni zomuzi, ulethe abayanga lezilima leziqhuli leziphofu ubangenise lapha.
22 Buna kisadi beni kiyiza kunkamba: “A pfumu matuminingi mavangimini vayi bibuangu bikidi.”
Inceku yasisithi: Nkosi, sekwenziwe njengokulaya kwakho, njalo indawo isesekhona.
23 Buna pfumu andi wumvutudila: “Yenda mu zinzila, mu yenda ziphangu kuika batu biza koti mu diambu di nzoꞌama yifuluka.
Yasisithi inkosi encekwini: Phuma uye ezindleleni lezintangweni ubacindezele bangene, ukuze igcwaliswe indlu yami.
24 Bila bukiedika ndikulukamba kadi mutu wumosi mu bobo batumusu kalendi dia ko.”
Ngoba ngithi kini: Kakho kulamadoda ayenxusiwe ozakuzwa ukudla kwami kwantambama.
25 Nkangu wu batu wuba wuwombo wuba kuenda nlandakananga. Buna Yesu wubaluka kuidi nkangu ayi wuba kamba:
Kwakuhamba laye amaxuku amanengi; wasetshibilika wathi kuwo:
26 —Enati mutu wizidi kuidi minu ayi enati kakadi lenda siandi, nguandi, nketuꞌandi, bana bandi, bakhomba bandi zi babakala ayi bakhomba bandi zi baketo, nkutu ayi luzingu luandi veka buna kkalendi banlonguki ama ko.
Uba umuntu esiza kimi, futhi engazondi uyise, lonina, lomkakhe, labantwana, labafowabo, labodadewabo, yebo ngitsho leyakhe impilo, angebe ngumfundi wami.
27 Woso wunkambu nata dikulusi diandi ayi wunkambu kundandakana, kalendi ba nlonguki ama ko.
Njalo loba ngubani ongathwali isiphambano sakhe angilandele, angebe ngumfundi wami.
28 Bila nani buna luidi bu katidi tungisa nzo yi banga wunkambu tuama vuandanga mu yindula thalu yela fua mu nzo beni mu diambu di zaba kani lenda manisa kisalu beni.
Ngoba nguwuphi kini, othi efuna ukwakha umphotshongo, ongaqali ahlale phansi, abale indleko, ukuthi ulakho yini okokuqedisa?
29 Bila enati kakadi nunga mu manisa thungulu andi bu kamanisini tula zifundasio buna batu boso bobo bela kummona, bela kunsekinina
Ukuze hlezi, kuthi esebekile isisekelo kodwa angabi lamandla okuqeda, bonke abakubonayo baqale ukumhleka,
30 bu bela tuba: “mutu wawu wutona tungisa nzo vayi kasia nunga ko manisa yawu”.
besithi: Lumuntu waqala ukwakha, kodwa kabanga lamandla okuqeda.
31 Voti ntinu mbi wowo tidi nuanisa ntinu wunkanka mvita wunkambu tuama vuandanga mu yindula kani mu dikumi mili di masodi buna lenda nungamu nuanisa mutu wowo wunkuiza kuidi niandi ayi makumuadi ma mili e?
Loba yiyiphi inkosi ezakuya empini imelene lenye inkosi engaqali ihlale phansi inakane ngokuthi ilamandla yini ngenkulungwane ezilitshumi okuhlangabezana laleyo eza ilenkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili ukumelana layo?
32 Enati buawu ko buna bu kakidi thama buna makafidisa mvualakuidi ntinu wunkaka ayi kunyuvula mambu mafueni mu kotisa ndembama.
Kodwa uba kungenjalo, ingathi isekhatshana leyo, ithume amanxusa icele okokuthula.
33 Diawu woso kuandi buna luidi wunkambu yekula bima bioso bidi yandi buna kalendi ba nlonguki ama ko.
Ngakho kunjalo wonke kini ongadeli konke alakho, angeke aba ngumfundi wami.
34 —Tsalu kidi kima kimboti vayi enati yizimbisidi lueki luandi bunabuevi balenda vutudila lueki beni e?
Itshwayi lihle; kodwa uba itshwayi seliduma, lizavuselelwa ngani?
35 Yisiedi kadi mfunu ko kani mu ntoto voti mu mbozi, yifueti kaka lozu ku nganda. Woso widi matu mawila buna bika kawa.
Kalifanele lamhlabathi ledundulu lomquba; kodwa liyalahlwa ngaphandle. Olendlebe zokuzwa, akezwe.
