Luka 8
1 Zitatha izi, Yesu anayendayenda kuchoka mzinda wina kupita wina ndiponso mudzi wina kupita wina, akulalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa ufumu wa Mulungu. Ophunzira ake khumi ndi awiri aja anali naye,
Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho, yena wadabula imizi lemizana, ememezela lokutshumayela indaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu; labalitshumi lambili babelaye,
2 komanso akazi ena amene anachiritsidwa ku mizimu yoyipa ndi matenda: Mariya, wotchedwa Magadalena, amene mwa iye munatuluka ziwanda zisanu ndi ziwiri;
labesifazana abathile ababesiliswe kubomoya ababi lemikhuhlaneni, uMariya othiwa nguMagadalena, okwaphuma kuye amadimoni ayisikhombisa,
3 Yohana mkazi wa Kuza, woyangʼanira mʼnyumba ya Herode; Suzana; ndi ena ambiri analinso. Akazi awa ankawathandiza ndi chuma chawo.
loJowana umkaKuza induna kaHerodi, loSusana, labanye abanengi, ababemsiza ngempahla zabo.
4 Anthu ambiri ankasonkhana, ndipo pamene anthu ankabwera kwa Yesu kuchokera ku midzi, Iye anawawuza fanizo ili,
Kwathi sekubuthene ixuku elikhulu, njalo bevela emizini ngemizi besiza kuye, wakhuluma ngomfanekiso,
5 “Mlimi anapita kukafesa mbewu zake. Akufesa mbewuzo, zina zinagwa mʼmbali mwa njira; zinapondedwa, ndipo mbalame zamlengalenga zinadya.
wathi: Umhlanyeli waphuma ukuyahlanyela inhlanyelo yakhe; kwathi ekuhlanyeleni kwakhe, enye yawela eceleni kwendlela; yasinyathelwa ngenyawo, lenyoni zezulu zayidla zayiqeda.
6 Zina zinagwa pa thanthwe, ndipo pamene zinamera, zinafota chifukwa panalibe chinyezi.
Lenye yawela edwaleni, kwathi ekukhuleni yabuna, ngoba yaswela ubumanzi.
7 Mbewu zina zinagwera pakati pa minga, zinakulira pamodzi ndi mingazo ndipo zinalepheretsa mmerawo kukula.
Lenye yawela phakathi kwameva, ameva asemila layo ayiminyanisa.
8 Mbewu zina zinagwera pa nthaka yabwino. Zinamera ndipo zinabala mowirikiza 100 kuposa zimene zinafesedwa zija.” Atanena izi, anafuwula kuti, “Amene ali ndi makutu, amve.”
Lenye yawela emhlabathini omuhle, yakhula yathela ikhulu. Esetshilo lezizinto wamemeza wathi: Olendlebe zokuzwa akezwe.
9 Ophunzira ake anamufunsa tanthauzo lake la fanizolo.
Abafundi bakhe basebembuza besithi: Ungaba yini lumfanekiso?
10 Iye anati, “Kudziwa zinsinsi za ufumu wa Mulungu kwapatsidwa kwa inu, koma kwa ena ndimawayankhula mʼmafanizo kuti, “ngakhale akuona, asapenye; ngakhale akumva, asazindikire.”
Wasesithi: Kuphiwe kini ukwazi imfihlo zombuso kaNkulunkulu; kodwa kwabanye ngemifanekiso, ukuze bebona bangaboni, njalo besizwa bangaqedisisi.
11 “Tanthauzo la fanizoli ndi ili: Mbewu ndi mawu a Mulungu.
Lomfanekiso uyilokhu: Inhlanyelo iyilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
12 Mbewu za mʼmbali mwa njira ndi anthu amene amamva mawu, ndipo kenaka mdierekezi amabwera ndi kuchotsa mawuwo mʼmitima mwawo kuti asakhulupirire ndi kupulumutsidwa.
Labaseceleni kwendlela yilabo abathi sebezwile, besekufika udiyabhola alisuse ilizwi enhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangakholwa basindiswe.
13 Mbewu za pa thanthwe ndi anthu amene amalandira mawu mwachimwemwe pamene akumva, koma mawuwo sazika mizu. Iwo amakhulupirira kwa kanthawi, koma pa nthawi ya mayesero, amagwa.
Labasedwaleni yilabo, abathi belizwile, balemukele ilizwi ngentokozo, kodwa laba kabalampande, abakholwa okwesikhathi, kuthi ngesikhathi sokulingwa bawe.
14 Mbewu zimene zinagwa pakati pa minga zikuyimira anthu amene amamva mawu, koma akamayenda mʼnjira zawo amatsamwitsidwa ndi zodandaulitsa za moyo uno, chuma ndi zosangalatsa, ndipo iwo samakhwima.
Lewele phakathi kwameva, yilabo abathi sebezwile, bahambe baminyaniswe yikukhathalela lenotho lenkanuko yempilo, njalo bangatheli izithelo ezivuthiweyo.
15 Koma mbewu za pa nthaka yabwino zikuyimira anthu amene ali ndi mtima woona ndi wabwino, amene amamva mawu nawasunga, ndipo amalimbikira mpaka amabala zipatso.
Kodwa esemhlabathini omuhle, yilabo abathi belizwile ilizwi balilondoloze enhliziyweni enhle lelungileyo, bathela izithelo ngokubekezela.
16 “Palibe amayatsa nyale ndi kuyibisa mu mtsuko kapena kuyika pansi pa bedi. Koma mʼmalo mwake, amayika pa choyikapo chake, kuti anthu olowamo aone kuwala.
Njalo kakho othi eselumathise isibane, asembese ngesitsha, kumbe asibeke ngaphansi kombheda, kodwa usibeka esiqobaneni sesibane, ukuze abangenayo babone ukukhanya.
17 Pakuti palibe kanthu kobisika kamene sikadzawululika, ndipo palibe kanthu kophimbika kamene sikadzadziwika kapena kuonetsedwa poyera.
Ngoba kakukho okufihliweyo, okungasoze kube sobala; lokuthukuziweyo, okungayikwaziwa lokungayikulethwa obala.
18 Choncho ganizirani mozama. Iye amene ali nazo adzapatsidwa zambiri, iye amene alibe, ngakhale chimene akuganiza kuti ali nacho adzalandidwa.”
Ngakho qaphelisani ukuthi lizwa njani; ngoba loba ngubani olakho, uzaphiwa; kodwa loba ngubani ongelakho, uzakwemukwa lalokho acabanga ukuthi ulakho.
19 Tsopano amayi ndi abale a Yesu anabwera kudzamuona Iye, koma analephera kuti afike pafupi ndi Iye chifukwa cha gulu la anthu.
Kwasekufika kuye unina labafowabo, kodwa abazange bamfinyelele ngenxa yexuku.
20 Wina anamuwuza Iye kuti, “Amayi ndi abale anu ayima kunja, akufuna kukuonani.”
Wasebikelwa ngabanye abathi: Unyoko labafowenu bemi phandle, bafuna ukukubona.
21 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Amayi ndi abale anga ndi amene amamva mawu a Mulungu ndi kumachita zimene mawuwo akunena.”
Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Umama labafowethu yilabo, abalizwayo ilizwi likaNkulunkulu balenze.
22 Tsiku lina Yesu anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Tiyeni tiwolokere tsidya lina la nyanja.” Ndipo analowa mʼbwato nanyamuka.
Kwasekusithi ngolunye lwezinsuku, wangena emkhunjini yena labafundi bakhe, wasesithi kubo: Asichaphele ngaphetsheya kwechibi; basuka-ke.
23 Akuwoloka, Iye anagona tulo. Namondwe wamkulu anayamba pa nyanja, ndipo bwatolo linayamba kudzaza ndi madzi ndipo anali pa chiopsezo chachikulu.
Kwathi behamba ngomkhumbi, walala ubuthongo; isiphepho esikhulu somoya sasesisehlela phansi echibini, bagcwalelwa ngamanzi, babesengozini.
24 Ophunzira anapita ndi kukamudzutsa Iye, nati, “Ambuye, Ambuye, ife tikumira!” Anadzuka ndipo anadzudzula mphepo ndi madzi owindukawo. Namondwe anasiya, ndipo panali bata.
Basebesondela bamvusa, besithi: Nkosi, nkosi, siyabhubha! Wasevuka wakhuza umoya lamagagasi amakhulu amanzi; kwasekusima, kwasekusiba lokuthula.
25 Iye anafunsa ophunzira ake kuti, “Chikhulupiriro chanu chili kuti?” Koma pogwidwa ndi mantha ndi kudabwa anafunsana wina ndi mnzake kuti, “Uyu ndi ndani? Iye alamulira ngakhale mphepo ndi madzi, ndipo zimumvera Iye.”
Wasesithi kubo: Lungaphi ukholo lwenu? Basebesesaba bamangala, bakhulumisana besithi: Kambe ungubani lo, ukuthi alaye ngitsho imimoya lamanzi, njalo kumlalele?
26 Iwo anawolokera ku chigawo cha Gerasa chimene chili tsidya lina la nyanja kuchokera ku Galileya.
Basebesiya ngomkhumbi elizweni lamaGadarene, eliqondene leGalili.
27 Yesu ataponda pa mtunda, anakumana ndi munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwanda wochokera mu mzindawo. Kwa nthawi yayitali munthuyu sanavale zovala kapena kukhala mʼnyumba, koma amakhala ku manda.
Kwathi esephumele emhlabathini, yamhlangabeza indoda ethile ivela emzini, eyayilamadimoni okwesikhathi eside, njalo ingembathi isembatho, ingahlali endlini, kodwa emangcwabeni.
28 Iye ataona Yesu, anakuwa nagwa pa mapazi ake akufuwula kwambiri kuti, “Mukufuna chiyani ndi ine, Yesu Mwana wa Mulungu Wammwambamwamba? Ndikupemphani Inu, musandizunze ine!”
Yathi imbona uJesu, yamemeza, yawa phansi phambi kwakhe, yathi ngelizwi elikhulu: Ngilani lawe, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngiyakuncenga, ungangihluphi.
29 Pakuti Yesu analamula mzimu woyipawo kuti utuluke mwa munthuyo. Kawirikawiri umamugwira iye, ndipo ngakhale anali womangidwa ndi unyolo dzanja ndi mwendo ndi kuti ankamuyangʼanira, koma amadula maunyolo akewo ndipo ziwanda zimamutengera kumalo a yekha.
Ngoba walaya umoya ongcolileyo ukuthi aphume kulowomuntu; ngoba wayesembambe okwezikhathi ezinengi, walindwa ebotshiwe ngamaketane lezibopho, kodwa eseqamule izibopho waqhutshelwa enkangala lidimoni.
30 Yesu anamufunsa kuti, “Dzina lako ndani?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Legiyo,” chifukwa ziwanda zambiri zinalowa mwa iye.
UJesu wasembuza, wathi: Ungubani ibizo lakho? Wasesithi: NguLegiyoni; ngoba amadimoni amanengi ayengene kuye.
Asemncenga ukuthi angawalayi ukuya emgodini ongelamkhawulo. (Abyssos g12)
32 Gulu lalikulu la nkhumba limadya pamenepo mʼmbali mwa phiri. Ziwandazo zinamupempha Yesu kuti azilole kuti zikalowe mu nkhumbazo ndipo Iye anazilola.
Kwakukhona lapho umhlambi wengulube ezinengi usidla entabeni; asemncenga ukuthi awavumele angene kuzo. Wasewavumela.
33 Ziwanda zija zitatuluka mwa munthuyo, zinakalowa mwa nkhumbazo, ndipo gulu lonselo linathamangira ku mtsetse ndi kukalowa mʼnyanja ndi kumira.
Kwathi amadimoni esephumile kulowomuntu angena engulubeni; umhlambi wasuphaphatheka usuka eliweni usiya echibini, waminzwa.
34 Oweta nkhumbazo ataona zimene zinachitikazo, anathamanga ndi kukanena izi mu mzinda ndi ku madera a ku midzi.
Kwathi ababezelusile bebona okwenzakeleyo babaleka, basuka bayabika emzini, lemaphandleni.
35 Ndipo anthu anapita kukaona zimene zinachitika. Atafika kwa Yesu, anapeza munthu amene anatulutsidwa ziwanda uja atakhala pa mapazi a Yesu, atavala ndipo ali ndi nzeru zake; ndipo iwo anachita mantha.
Basebephuma ukuyabona okwenzakeleyo; bafika kuJesu, bamfica umuntu okwakuphume kuye amadimoni ehlezi enyaweni zikaJesu, embethe esephelele engqondweni; basebesesaba.
36 Amene anaona izi anawuza anthu mmene munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwandayo anachiritsidwira.
Basebebatshela lalabo ababebonile ukuthi usindiswe njani owayengenwe ngamadimoni.
37 Kenaka anthu onse a ku chigawo cha Gerasa anamupempha Yesu kuti achoke kwa iwo, chifukwa anadzazidwa ndi mantha. Choncho Iye analowa mʼbwato nachoka.
Ixuku lonke lesigaba samaGadarene esizingelezeleyo laselimcela ukuthi asuke kubo, ngoba babanjwa yikwesaba okukhulu; yena wasengena emkhunjini waphindela emuva.
38 Munthu amene anatulutsidwa ziwanda uja, anapempha Yesu kuti apite nawo, koma Yesu anamubweza nati,
Kodwa indoda okwakuphume kuyo amadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ibe laye. Kodwa uJesu wayiyekela yahamba, esithi:
39 “Bwerera kwanu kafotokoze zimene Mulungu wakuchitira.” Ndipo munthuyo anachoka ndi kukanena ku mzinda wonsewo zimene Yesu anamuchitira iye.
Buyela endlini yakho, ulandise ukuthi kungakanani uNkulunkulu akwenze kuwe. Wasesuka wahamba, etshumayela phakathi komuzi wonke ukuthi kungakanani uJesu ayekwenzile kuye.
40 Yesu atabwerera, gulu lalikulu la anthu linamulandira, chifukwa onse ankamuyembekezera.
Kwasekusithi ekubuyeni kukaJesu, ixuku lamthakazelela; ngoba bonke babemlindele.
41 Nthawi yomweyo munthu wotchedwa Yairo, woweruza wa mu sunagoge, anabwera ndi kugwa pa mapazi a Yesu, namupempha Iye kuti apite ku nyumba kwake,
Njalo khangela, kwafika indoda, uJayirosi ngebizo, yona ingumphathi wesinagoge, yasisiwa phansi enyaweni zikaJesu yamncenga ukuthi angene endlini yayo;
42 chifukwa mwana wake yekhayo wamkazi, kamtsikana ka zaka khumi ndi ziwiri, kanali pafupi kufa. Pamene Yesu ankapita gulu la anthu linkamupanikiza.
ngoba yayilendodakazi eyodwa ezelweyo eyayingaba leminyaka elitshumi lambili, njalo yona yayisisifa. Kwathi esahamba amaxuku amcindezela.
43 Ndipo pomwepo panali mayi wina amene ankataya magazi kwa zaka khumi ndi ziwiri, koma panalibe wina akanamuchiritsa.
Lowesifazana owayelomopho wegazi okweminyaka elitshumi lambili, echithe konke okwempilo yakhe kubelaphi engelakusiliswa langubani,
44 Iye anafika kumbuyo kwake ndi kukhudza mothera mwa chovala chake, ndipo nthawi yomweyo magazi ake analeka kutuluka.
wasondela ngemva kwakhe, wathinta umphetho wesembatho sakhe; njalo wahle wakhawula umopho wegazi lakhe.
45 Yesu anafunsa kuti, “Wandikhudza ndani?” Onse atakana, Petro anati, “Anthu akukupanikizani ndi kukukankhani.”
UJesu wasesithi: Ngubani ongithintileyo? Kwathi lapho bephika bonke, uPetro wathi lababelaye: Nkosi, ixuku likuminyanisile likucindezele, kodwa uthi: Ngubani ongithintileyo?
46 Koma Yesu anati, “Wina wandikhudza; ndikudziwa chifukwa mphamvu yachoka mwa Ine.”
Kodwa uJesu wathi: Ukhona ongithintileyo; ngoba mina ngazile ukuthi amandla aphumile kimi.
47 Ndipo mayiyo podziwa kuti sanathe kuchoka wosadziwika, anabwera akunjenjemera ndipo anagwa pa mapazi a Yesu. Pamaso pa anthu onse, anafotokoza chifukwa chimene anamukhudzira Iye ndi mmene iye anachiritsidwira nthawi yomweyo.
Kwathi owesifazana ebona ukuthi kafihlakalanga, weza ethuthumela, wawa phambi kwakhe, walandisa phambi kwabantu bonke ukuthi umthinte ngesizatho bani, lokuthi uhle wasila njani.
48 Kenaka anati kwa iye, “Mwana wamkazi, chikhulupiriro chako chakuchiritsa. Pita mu mtendere.”
Wasesithi kuye: Mana isibindi, ndodakazi, ukholo lwakho lukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.
49 Pamene Yesu ankayankhulabe, munthu wina anabwera kuchokera ku nyumba ya Yairo, woweruza wa ku sunagoge uja. Iye anati, “Mwana wanu wa mkazi wamwalira, musawavutitsenso Aphunzitsiwa.”
Esakhuluma, kwafika umuntu evela endlini yomphathi wesinagoge, wathi kuye: Indodakazi yakho isifile; ungamhluphi uMfundisi.
50 Atamva zimenezi, Yesu anati kwa Yairo, “Usachite mantha, ingokhulupirira basi ndipo adzachiritsidwa.”
Kodwa uJesu esizwa, wamphendula, wathi: Ungesabi; kholwa kuphela, njalo izasindiswa.
51 Iye atafika ku nyumba ya Yairo, sanalole wina aliyense kulowa kupatula Petro, Yohane, ndi Yakobo ndi abambo ndi amayi a mwanayo.
Futhi esengenile endlini, kavumanga ukuthi kungene muntu, ngaphandle kukaPetro loJakobe loJohane, loyise wendodakazi lonina.
52 Pa nthawiyi nʼkuti anthu onse akubuma ndi kumulirira iye. Yesu anati, “Lekani kulira, sanafe koma wagona tulo.”
Njalo bakhala bonke, beyililela. Kodwa wathi: Lingakhali; kayifanga, kodwa ilele.
53 Iwo anamuseka podziwa kuti anali atamwalira.
Basebemhleka usulu, besazi ukuthi ifile.
54 Koma Iye anamugwira dzanja lake ndipo anati, “Mwana wanga, dzuka!”
Kodwa yena esebakhuphele phandle bonke, wabamba isandla sayo, wamemeza, esithi: Ndodakazi, vuka!
55 Mzimu wake unabwerera, ndipo nthawi yomweyo anayimirira. Kenaka Yesu anawawuza kuti amupatse chakudya.
Wasubuya umoya wayo, yasivuka khona lapho; waselaya ukuthi kayiphiwe ukudla.
56 Makolo ake anadabwa, koma Iye anawalamulira kuti asawuze wina aliyense zimene zinachitikazo.
Abazali bayo basebemangala kakhulu; kodwa wabalaya ukuthi bangatsheli muntu okwenzakeleyo.
